About: I worked for Rover in Seattle in its start-up phase, before apps and our digitized lifestyles. I have done agility with my own canines, and worked with dogs at the Humane Society Shelter, as well as participated in obedience classes there with adoptable dogs. My condo in Bellingham is quiet, near Whatcom Falls trails and Bloedel. It is a very dog-friendly condo complex. When I am not at the gym or on a trail with my hiking group, I volunteer as an usher, invasive plant remover, and writing group facilitator. December - February I reside in Palm Springs with my sister and take Rover clients there. One-bedroom condo - open space layout. Crate preferred for when I am gone, but if your dog is kind to plants and furniture, free-range is okay. Big grassy area along the edge of condos. Entry to my condo does not require stairs. In Palm Springs I live with my sister in a one story quiet duplex.
About: KEEPING FEES LOW... SO YOUR PET CARE DOESN'T COST AS MUCH AS YOUR VACATION! Lifelong Animal Expert & US Champion Equestrian – Elite Care for Your Pups! Hi, I’m Rich, animals have been a central focus of my entire life. Growing up on a farm, I learned the deep responsibility of animal care from a very young age. This foundational passion led me to a competitive career as a US Champion Equestrian, a journey that taught me how to read animal behavior, anticipate needs, and maintain absolute patience under pressure. Beyond my time in the arena, I have extensive hands-on medical exposure. I spent years assisting both large and small animal veterinarians in New York on everything from routine check-ups to intense, fast-paced emergency calls. Because of this, you can rest easy knowing I am highly observant, calm in emergencies, and fully capable of handling pets with specialized health or behavioral needs. On a personal note, I’ve loved and owned dogs since I was 8 years old. Today, I am the proud pet parent of two rescued terrier pups, so I deeply understand the unique patience, structure, and endless affection that rescue dogs need to feel safe and happy. Whether your dog needs a high-energy walk, meticulous medical attention, or just a calm and confident presence while you are away, I will treat them with the exact same elite level of care I give my own animals.

“Thank you so much for caring for Ginny these past 2 weeks! Knowing she was going to have her time with you was such a comfort during my long work days. Your extra effort and flexibility was so helpful and much appreciated. l'll definitely be sharing your contact with friends when they work in the valley. You're the best!”
“We had set up a 30 minute meet and greet. He arrived on time.we sat and chatted. Romeo got up On the couch and laid beside him. He liked Kevin’s arm. We took a stroll in our community dog park. I think he was surprised by the degree of Romeo’s fear aggression . There were three little dogs that showed up with their owner off leash and were not obeying commands. We simply held on and walk out of the park.”
“I knew our cats were in good hands with Molly all week long! We were away for a trip and she was reliable and communicative the whole time, I didn't need to worry about a thing. Plus our normally reserved cat walked right up to her for a nose boop when they initially met--a terrific match!”

About: I grew up in an animal-loving family. We raised chickens, dogs, cats, birds, turtles, rabbits, etc together. That is where my fondness for furry, scaly, and feathery friends began. Since then, I have taken it upon myself to learn more about them, and work with them. I have taken classes on Animal Health and Care, have volunteered at the Pet Rescue Center in Coachella, and domesticated feral cats in my neighborhood. My skills include, but are not limited to: nursing puppies, potty-training cats, giving oral medication, and bathing. I am available to take care of your fur-babies Monday through Sunday, from 7am-6pm. I am an artist that gets to create her own schedule! So, as long as I don’t have an event planned, I am free, free, free! I do my best to create a connection with dogs and cats to help them feel safe with me. Once they do, we get forward with cuddles and play-time!
“Hands down the best experience so far with Rover. Victoria was exceptional. She was recommended to me and let this be my recommendation to anyone desiring drop-in visits. Her updates were thorough and detailed. Even the pictures had captions added to make it fun and informative. The love and care she had for our dogs and respect for us and our home was evident.”

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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Cathedral City is $27 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $43 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 763 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Cathedral City. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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.

- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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 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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
