About: I have worked the last 25 years working in the medical field. Part of my job was providing pet therapy visits to hospice patients both in the private home and assisted living facilities. My Corgi named Pepe and I did team training and became certified through Love on a Leash. I have decided that I would like to help others with their dog and cat needs rather than getting another dog at this time. I am currently retired and am very flexible with my weekly schedule. I am available as a one-time sitter visit or a repeated weekly, if preferred. I was only able to check the 11am -3pm box but I can be available between 9am to 6pm am for a drop in visit for a dog walk and can provide a 4–6-hour visit if you needed. I don't do overnights, or nighttime dog walks or drop in visits. I wanted to clarify here to make it easier. It's my goal to try my best to meet your schedule needs. I understand the importance of making sure an animal feels comfortable with me and allowing it to approach me. I will always use a leash when walking a pet outside for their safety. I currently have a disabled, indoor cat. I make sure that her litter box is scooped daily and that her needs are a priority. I make sure she has fresh water and food, treats daily. It's always important to know from the pet owner what treats they prefer for their pets or food sensitive issues.
“McKenna was great with my kitty! Dropped in for 3 visits while out of town, always got great photos and updates. Will definitely book with her again for all future trips!”
“Ashurina helped me out of a jam, was needing to head out of town last min. She came by the same day I called her to meet with myself and my 2 girls (fur baby cats). She checked in and updated me, sent pictures and had my 2 cats engaged during her drop in. Thank you so much.”
About: I come from a large family which I’ve always had dogs and cats. We used to raise Siamese cats, and we always had big dogs. German shepherds, black labs, Huskies, Dobermans. I would take care of my family’s dogs: Cheweanies, Peekapoos, Chihuahuas, Min pins. I’ve always loved being around animals …Especially Dogs and Cats -helping them be their best Doggy and Kitty selves. I love being around dogs and cats. I have two beautiful indoor cats myself, and they are my best companions. I love them very much. I will love and take care of your Fur babies, As if they were my very own. I retired early from HEALTHCARE , so my time is pretty open, and would enjoy the opportunity to help you with your fur babies and their care. Day/Night/Evening/Overnight. I’m very protective of those fur babies that I have in my care. I pay very close attention to detail and all of their needs. Their lives are in my hands and I take my position of caring for your Fur baby very seriously.I would be caring for them in your home.
About: I grew up in a home that adopted cats & dogs and was the prime caregiver since animal's lives and happiness are close my heart. I believe in SPOILING them, not giving them all of the treats, but in giving them tons of attention and activity. Zonking them out at night so they have the best night's sleep. I love all dogs, tiny to giants and long-haired too. I laugh at zoomies. My animal voice disarms them quickly so even the most nervous cats or dogs warm up to me in time. I respect boundaries and listen/watch body language so that neither of us are uncomfortable. I love to go on walks with them, letting them smell every flower along the way. I love playing tug of war or chasing each other or throwing a ball for hours. They are such special little beings and deserve the best care. With me, they would be loved on, scratched, belly rubbed, or brushed to their delight! I work from home and set my schedule. So, I would be available to watch your furbabies during the times that you need, overnights, or just daily drop-bys. All I need is wifi and if it's the summer, AC. I am happy to bring any cat-friendly dogs into my home. Both of my cats LOVE dogs. But your furbabies would have to have up-to-date vaccinations to do so. I'm happy to have them here. If they like walks, I go on one daily for about an hour. If I need to, I can split that walk in two, no worries. Spending time with them at a dog park. Throwing the ball or playing outside with their favorite toy is also something that I would enjoy doing. I am happy to find what each furbaby needs and to meet it. I love getting to know animals and their specific qualities/likes/dislikes and meeting their needs and having fun. The whole idea to me is that if their humans are out of town. having fun, they should have an equal amount of fun too!

I've had both dogs and cats my entire life. I currently have two pets, one dog, Arya and one cat, Calcifer. Arya is a senior dog so I am fully capable of taking care of pets at all stages of life. I am currently a stay at home mom to two little boys that are in school full time. I would be able to take care of your animals while my kids are at school. I will also be able to come over in the evenings before bed to take care of any animals needs. I have two animals, a cat and a dog. I am fully capable of cleaning out litter boxes, feeding and making the cats have access to water. My dog is 11 years old, with a senior dog as a pet, I understand the extra care that some animals need.
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We can’t thank Holly enough for stepping in at the last minute to take care of our pets! She was incredibly understanding and accommodating with our sudden trip, and her communication was excellent from start to finish. We really appreciated how attentive she was to all of our pets’ needs and how she kept us updated with messages and photos—it gave us such peace of mind while we were away. Everything was perfectly handled, and our pets were clearly happy and well cared for. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and professional pet sitter!”
About: I’ve been a pet owner for most of my life, so caring for animals comes naturally to me. I understand that every pet has a unique personality, routine, and way of feeling secure. I take time to get to know each pet so they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their family is away. Whether they enjoy gentle walks, playtime, quiet companionship, or extra cuddles, I will provide the dependable and attentive care they need. After recently saying goodbye to my beloved dog of 12 years, I am not quite ready to welcome another puppy of my own. Caring for other people’s pets has become an especially meaningful way for me to continue sharing my love for animals. I understand how deeply pets are cherished, and I will care for yours with the same tenderness and attention I would want for my own. Since I work from home, I’m available any day of the week and have plenty of time to give your pet the attention, companionship, and affection they deserve. I believe every pet is unique, so I take the time to earn their trust, follow their routine, and make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I care for every pet as if they were my own. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I follow your care instructions carefully, pay attention to each pet’s unique personality, and provide lots of love, patience, and companionship. I’ll also keep your home tidy and send regular updates so you always know how your furry family member is doing.
About: With over 11 years of hands-on cat care experience, I bring a depth of understanding that goes far beyond basic sitting. My background includes working with animal shelters, caring for energetic kittens, supporting senior cats with special routines, and raising my own three cats, each with their own unique needs and personalities. This range has taught me how to read feline behavior, adapt quickly, and provide calm, confident care in any situation. I’m especially attentive to routine, cleanliness, and emotional comfort. Whether a cat needs gentle patience, playful engagement, or quiet companionship, I tailor my care to what helps them feel safest and most at ease. I treat every cat as an individual—not a checklist—and my goal is always for pet parents to feel complete peace of mind knowing their cat is in experienced, compassionate hands. I’m a full-time pet sitter, which means your cats receive my full attention—not rushed visits squeezed around another job. My flexible schedule allows me to spend quality time with your pets, closely monitor their needs, and adjust care as needed to keep them comfortable and stress-free. I strive to maintain a peaceful, secure environment in your home so your pets feel comfortable and stress-free. From following routines to keeping your space tidy and secure, safety and trust are always my top priorities.
About: Hi Pet Owners! I have a plethora of experience caring for dogs (and cats) of all ages and sizes, from the tiny toy breed, to the Great Dane. I grew up with dogs, worked in a veterinary clinic, and own my own fur babies. Through these experiences, I bring years of knowledge caring for pups. Most recently, I have been a pet sitter on the Rover app, caring for pets throughout the Palm Springs area. This has included boarding at my house, house sits, and lots of dog walks! Through my experience on Rover, I have learned how to manage all sorts of personalities, dietary restrictions, medication administrations, and every other special pet need imaginable! I'd be thrilled to help you and your pet out in the future. I work from home, so I'm here during the day to care for the animals. I'm available 7 days a week to care for pets. I have a fenced-in yard. I have 2 golden doodles of my own who are friendly and have experience meeting new friends and sharing their mom! I have crates and can separate pets if needed.
“WOW! 5 STARS and then some! We couldn't be more pleased. And for the record, I'm an "A-type" which is something I don't readily share but for a review involving the care of my "cat child" George, it feels more than appropriate. JoAnn was a hit on all levels. Smart, Kind, Fun, and delivering ATTENTION TO DETAIL at every turn! JoAnn's daily video updates with snippets of play time made our time away all the better and reduced anxiety around leaving George at home. THANK YOU JoANN! Dave (Rancho Mirage, CA)”
“Jordan took fantastic care of our 3 cats! She communicated daily with pictures and updates about how they were doing and how they were adjusting to her house sitting. She also tidied up before we got back which relieved a lot of stress! We would definitely recommend Jordan for pet and house sitting!”
“Mikayla took care of my cat for a week, doing drop-in visits. She sent photos to me and communicated during the week. She returned my key the day I arrived home, which I appreciate. I’ll call on her again for my future cat-care!”
About: I’ve grown up with both dogs and cats, and have been a huge animal lover my whole life. I’ve always been a sitter for friends and family in need and figured I might as well expand my services. I have a big home and yard, with plenty of grass and room to run. Our home is very pet friendly, and they pretty much are free to roam as they please. My husband and I keep the home clean, but cozy. We have kids, cats, and dogs and everyone gets along. We keep the upstairs blocked off so the cats have their own space to play and relax. There are tile floors for a cool place to nap, dog beds, cat trees, and plenty of toys. I’m a nurse and CPR certified, so your fur baby is safe with me. I only ask that your pet is friendly, and if you have a dog that they are a minimal barker as we like to keep our neighbors happy. I can help with potty training, bathing, and medicines too…whatever your pet needs. All you need to provide is your pets favorite food. I’ll take care of the rest. I work part time as a nurse, usually during the nights and my husband is a stay at home dad. I have plenty of time and energy to devote to your fur baby. I have a large home and yard with plenty of grass. There are also several dog parks within our community for your fur baby to play.
About: I have always had pets since I can remember from cats to dogs, bunnies, chickens, so I grew up caring for many animals. I would also pet sit for family members and friends. I currently have a dog and a bunny! I love exercise and nature, so I’m constantly outside playing sports or walking/running and hiking. I love to look for new spots for hikes or short walks and parks. I also have a part time job of only 12 hours a week so I have a lot of free time on my hands! I currently have a bunny who has her own little pen. My apartment in a gated community and near a park! I am very organized and can follow any specific routines needed for pets of any needs.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Cathedral City
CJ is the best! She takes great care of Beau and it shows in the pics she uploads. Beau is calm and happy after a few days away which indicates to me he is being well cared for. I don't worry about Beau for one second when I'm away. He is in the best and most capable care. I highly recommend CJ if you are looking for a great pet sitter!
I met Megan for the meet and greet for her to drop in to check on my cat while we were out of town for a few days and I immediately trusted her. I appreciate her excellent communication and as a bonus she took great photos of my cat which made me feel even more at ease. She was super helpful and followed all care requests perfectly. I will definitely be rebooking!

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.

The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
