“James took great, thorough care of our Wolfie over the holidays. We were able to rest easy knowing he was in good hands. We highly recommend James to watch your furry loved ones!! 🩷”
“Such a blessing to have Matthew watch over our fur babies! He was attentive, responsive and dedicated to keeping our babies safe and secure during our vacation. Daily updates and fast responses, even though we were halfway around the globe. He adapted to a problem while we were gone, and resolved it for us without complaint. If you’re thinking about him, don’t think twice, just book!”
“McKenna has the perfect personal touch to care for our senior dog. She’s loving and caring and kept us up to date on the important things. We’d love to have her help again and again 🐾🐾”
“Samantha watched our senior cat Jack for ten days during the heat wave. She was reliable and punctual and made sure Jack didn’t get dehydrated. She cleaned up after him when he threw up. He was persnickety for a few days at the beginning but Samantha persisted and won him over. She is a rock star!”
“Angelica is very reliable and quick to respond. She was available last minute. It’s wonderful to have someone that we can trust. She is very sweet with our two rescue dogs 💕”
“Angelina did such an amazing job with Millie. The house was clean and everything in order. She even brought me a roll of toilet paper because I ran out before my trip! I look forward to booking with her again!”
“Erika sat with my somewhat anxious boxer/Labrador while I went to an appointment. She has a very calm and gentle manner, perfect for an easily stressed pup, and it was clear that my dog really liked her. Erika was prompt, professional and followed all instructions. I would gladly engage her services again.”
“Rhondee was great, prompt, and responsive! Medicine had to be administered for my senior dog so needed someone I felt I can trust. Rhondee scheduled for a meet n greet as this is my first time which made me feel comfy”
About: I am a stay at home mom who recently had both children go to school full time, freeing up my schedule, with that I have so much extra time and love to give to your animals. 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.
“Chris is simply the best sitter! He's always getting our cats engaged in play and they just love him, it's good to know I've nothing to worry about while I'm away 😃”
“Marisa has been wonderful with my dog! He has warmed up to her so quickly, and she is incredibly patient and attentive. She communicates very well and always keeps me updated, which gives me so much peace of mind. I always feel safe knowing my baby is in her care. Highly recommend her!”
“Isabelle was the best! We rarely ever leave our dogs - they are very attached to us. Both our babies instantly took a liking to Isabelle at the meet and greet. She learned their individual routines quickly and efficiently and made them feel so comfortable. She was the sweetest and provided us with multiple updates and photos a day ♥️! Couldn’t thank her enough!”
“Mikayla was WONDERFUL to our animals while away for the weekend. She kept us well informed with pictures each drop off, communicated with us of everything and even found a baby lizard in our bathroom and relocated him outside to keep him safe. The girl loves animals and it was so apparent from the moment we met her to the moment we walked into the door from a long weekend and none of our dogs seemed stressed out. We will be using her for all of our outings from now on. Trust me, she is outstanding and you need to look no further for a reliable and caring person to trust with the care of your fur babies. First time using rover and could not have gone better thanks to Mikayla.”
About: I have pet sit for many neighbors and family friends since high school. I am great with any kind of animal and at any age. I also can administer any medication for any animal if needed. I am a full time student and my schedule is pretty open. I get my school schedule a couple months in advance, so we would be able to work around both our schedules =] I have a pup of my own and I would care for your pet as if it were my own. We can go to the dog park, beach, or long walks (whatever you're comfortable with). I am good with special instructions such as food supplements or food restrictions.
The median cost per visit for pet sitting in Cathedral City is $29
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Cathedral City
So grateful to have met Melody through Rover. I am new to the La Quinta area and did not have anyone to watch my little Bella who is 14 years old. I love the fact that Bella could stay in the comfort of our home while on vacation. Melody was so sweet and loving with her. I received daily text messages letting me know when she was with Bella. She sent me daily pictures and it gave me comfort to know Bella was being well taken care of. I will definitely use Melody again in the future! Very responsible and communicated right back when I had any concerns or questions!
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!
Melissa was the best possible answer for our need to care for our 3 cats during our vacation! She did everything we asked and more. She clearly cares a lot and knows what she is doing. The kitties were all healthy and happy when we got home, and the photos we received while we were gone show that our shy cats warmed up to her right away. The house was all as we left it, if anything a little cleaner. I recommend her without hesitation to anyone who wants a kind person to care for their animal friends and to keep a responsible eye on things while they are away.

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Cathedral City on Rover is $24.61 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 782 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Cathedral City. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Cathedral City stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Cathedral City. On Rover:
- 95% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 99% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
