“Don was great with both my dog, Neko, and my Cat, Teri. He sent videos regularly and keep me informed about Neko and especially how Teri were doing. Also, Don went out of his way to care for Teri, my cat. Teri has kidney disease and requires hydration with a saline solution every day. Don was wonderful with Teri by injecting the solution under his skin. This was accomplished by placing a needle under Teri's loose skin and slowly allowing the saline solution to flow under his skin. Don is very personable and I recommend him very highly for caring for your pet.”
“Crystal did a 4 night cat and-house sitting job for us She did a wonderful job looking after our cat Winston and sent photos everyday. It was nice to have the peace of mind that our home and fur baby were well cared for while we were out of town. We will be booking Crystal again. Thank you for a positive first experience using the Rover app”
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.
“Anthony was very flexible with our schedule. He sent us updates and pictures throughout the weekend. I am very happy with the care he provided for my pets. We will definitely contact him again. 😊”
About: I’ve grown up around animals my entire life, caring for dogs and cats for over 25 years. I’m naturally a "pet magnet" and connect easily with animals, whether they’re tiny Morkie-Poos or energetic Boxers. I take pride in being extremely reliable when it comes to precise feeding schedules, walk routines, and clean-up. Most importantly, I offer a gentle, loving environment where your pets feel completely safe, comfortable, and pampered while you’re away. I currently work full time Monday-Friday 9am-5pm. After 5pm, I am free Friday night, all day Saturday and All day Sunday. Perfect for folks that need a sitter when they leave somewhere for the weekend. When caring for pets in your home, safety and respect for your space are my top priorities. I strictly follow your customized care routine, from precise feeding schedules to walk preferences and house rules. I make sure all doors, gates, and entryways stay secure at all times, keeping your pets safe, happy, and relaxed in their familiar environment while you're away.
About: I’ve had both dogs and cats since I was 5 years old, giving me more than 40 years of hands-on experience caring for pets. I understand that every animal has its own unique personality and needs, and I take the time to provide the individualized care, patience, and attention each pet deserves. Pet care has always been a part of my daily routine. I structure my schedule to ensure pets receive the attention, exercise, feeding, medication (if needed), and companionship they deserve. Whether it’s morning walks, playtime, maintaining their regular routines, or simply providing comfort and affection, I enjoy making pets a priority and treating them like family. When caring for pets in my clients’ homes, I make it a priority to maintain their normal routines and keep them comfortable in their familiar environment. I follow all instructions regarding feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications, and any special care needs. I understand that every pet is unique, so I take the time to learn their personalities, preferences, and routines. My goal is to provide dependable, loving care while giving pet owners peace of mind knowing their pets are safe, happy, and well cared for while they’re away.
“Yaneth was so great with our pup. She sat with our anxious boy for a night out while we were visiting the Coachella valley for the weekend. She sent us a sweet pic and we returned to a happy, sleepy dog. :)”
About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and have always loved them. I’ve also done training myself on my own dogs and researched plenty about various breeds. I’m a student currently off for the summer looking to fill the rest of my day with some work doing something I enjoy while expanding my experience with other dogs. I have a house which contains several dogs, 1 cat and a large backyard in which I play and train them in. I also do my own grooming.
“Tawny was wonderful and stayed with our two labs for an entire day. She was on time when came to meet us the day before and was on time the day of sitting. She is very comfortable with pets and competent with a variety of veterinary related skills. We appreciated her sending us photos during the day.”
About: My favorite approach is with open arms through pure interest, curiosity, & patience to make friends with & show they are safe & sound with me. Right now i’m very available to a flexible daily & weekly schedule on the fly & can work with same day changes if need be. Nothing is more important than the safety of our furry friends, i’ve had a lot of experience working with crating, housing or backyard work with animals.
“My large rambunctious dog loves Joy. Joy walked and snuggled both my boys. Received daily walk emails, updates and pictures on a small medical issue that Joy monitored for us and lots of pictures.”
“Rey is absolutely amazing! This was the third time she’s watched our three pups, and everything was just as wonderful as ever. We felt totally at ease knowing they were in such caring and capable hands. Rey kept us updated with messages and photos, and it was clear the dogs were happy, relaxed, and well loved. She also treated our home with care and left everything spotless. We’ll continue booking Rey as long as she’ll have us. Highly recommend!”
About: Ever since I was a kid I’ve always had a dog and my family friends have always asked me to take care of their dogs while away. I adapt to any special instructions you may have and am very attentive to them. I believe that dogs are such amazing animals and they deserve the best care!! I work part time right now and do online school at the same time so my schedule is quite flexible. I drive and have a mini suv so if need be I can transport your dog and even take them to vet visits! I am able to check on your dogs throughout the day whether it’s to take them outside, feed them, or take them on a walk.
“Cheryl was amazing with my dog Skye! She went above and beyond to make sure she was happy,comfortable and exercised, and even came and stayed in our house to make it easier for Skye. I highly recommend Cheryl, and we will definitely be using her again!”
“Melinda is so amazing, she communicated with me the entire time I was away that she stayed with my pups. She is such a nice and sweet person, so of course my two dogs loved her as well! Would highly recommend her and I will definitely be booking with her again.”
“Jazmin is amazing, reliable and reasonable! She goes above and beyond to care for your pet and offers extra services for your pet! She stayed here with my Golden for 3 nights and kept us updated and sent pics. I did not doubt for a second that Elsa wasn’t in good hands! She is definitely my first choice for future needs! Thanks Jazmin!!!!”

Reyanah house sat for us and looked after our dog Violet and cat Finneas. We booked her based on the reviews we read here on Rover. We told her the most important thing to us was piece of mind - knowing our pets and home would be taken care of and that we would know this by her communicating with us often. She did exactly this and we were more than satisfied with the work she did and our overall experience. She did a great job.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Coachella on Rover is $52.73 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House 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 House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 427 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Coachella. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Coachella walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Coachella maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Coachella choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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.
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 .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
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.

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.
