“This was our first time using Rover, and James was incredible. Super dependable, communicative, and kind. When an unexpected ant situation came up, he coordinated with me and our pest service to get it resolved the next day so our cats stayed comfortable. He kept us updated the whole time. So grateful to have found someone we can trust! We will be booking James again!”

About: I grew up on a farm with all types of animals and I love taking care of them. Ive had dogs and cats all my life. I currently have two chihuahs, a German Shepard, and two cats. They are all friendly and used to other dogs and cats. I have experience taking care or kittens, cats, puppies, small dogs, and large dogs. I will walk them several times a day and play with them. I can house them overnight, watch them for the day, or just walk them. I have two separate gated yards where they can run around and play. They can also come inside the house since my pets are allowed anywhere in the house that I am. I have reliable transportation if housesitting is needed and I am available all the time.

About: For many years I've taken care of animals. I have acquired an ability to adapt to the needs of specific pets. Whatever they need, I'm there. I'm detail oriented and very observant when it comes to animals. Rest assured, I will make sure your baby is taken care of to the best of my ability. Comfort and care are my priorities. I'm extremely open! I like to work around your schedule. I live with family right now and do online schooling. It's asynchronous meaning I can do it any time. I always keep my pets comfortable and clean. From grooming, to cleaning bedding and washing out bowls. I'm very cautious to any contaminates that can compromise the safety of a pet. Bacteria is especially rampant in outdoor areas, so I make sure my dogs are clean in the area they sleep/eat.

About: I’ve been caring for pets for over 12 years and genuinely love what I do. I’m dependable, patient, and attentive with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and ages—from energetic puppies to senior pets who need extra care. I have experience with feeding, walking, bathing, administering medication, and reinforcing basic training. I treat every pet like they’re my own, making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I understand how important routines are and always follow your instructions carefully to keep your pet happy and stress-free. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your furry family member is in caring, reliable hands. 🐾 I currently specialize in boarding pets in my home and prefer this over house sitting. Boarding allows me to provide consistent, attentive care in a safe, comfortable environment where I can closely monitor your pet throughout the day. I’m flexible with drop-off and pick-up times and am available most weekdays and weekends. My goal is to give your pet a fun, stress-free stay while giving you peace of mind. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my highest priorities. I provide a clean, safe, and supervised home where your pet will receive plenty of attention, exercise, and affection. I carefully follow your feeding schedule, medication instructions, and any special care requests to keep your pet’s routine as consistent as possible. I’ll also send regular photo and video updates so you can relax knowing your pet is in loving, dependable hands. I treat every pet like a member of my own family. 🐾

“Cesar is amazing!! He took care of my three cats while we were out of town for our wedding, over the past 9 days our kitties were in great care with Cesar’s drop in visits! He went above and beyond our expectations. Truly kept the litter boxes clean and swept around them! He changed their food and water and made sure they were safe! Cesar is trust worthy and respectful! He kept us updated throughout the whole process, sending us lots of loving photos and even keeping us updated on the weather! He is soo kind and truly loves animals, we have gold fish here too, even thou we were feeding them pebbles with the automatic feeder he noticed the fish and added some bounce flacks when he visited (out of the kindness of his heart). SO NICE! If you are looking for someone to care for your pets, I HIGHLY recommend Cesar he is very knowledgeable and caring, he followed every step I gave him and went beyond that. He even offered to have a free meet and great so the animals could get to know him! SO THOUGHTFUL. unfortunately my tight schedule wouldn’t allow it but, it’s the thought he puts in that counts! Thank you so much Cesar you are a true blessing to us and our animals! Until next time! 💕”

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover with over 10 years of hands-on experience working as a groomer’s assistant, where I helped with bathing, brushing, grooming prep, and nail trims for dogs of all sizes and temperaments. I’m comfortable handling nervous, energetic, senior, and special-needs pets, and I always focus on making them feel safe and cared for. I also have extensive experience fostering dogs for rescue organizations and helping animals in need, including rescuing pets off the streets and giving them loving homes. Caring for animals isn’t just work for me—it’s part of my everyday life. My home is full of happy pets, including three dogs, one cat, six birds, and a tortoise. I offer dependable and loving care including dog walking, drop-in visits, pet sitting, boarding, bathing, grooming support, and nail trims. I treat every pet like family and understand how important it is to know your pets are in good hands. I’d love the chance to care for your furry family members. I currently have a very open and flexible schedule, which allows me to give pets plenty of attention and care throughout the day. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, pet sitting, boarding, and last-minute bookings when needed. I can accommodate weekdays, weekends, mornings, afternoons, and evenings to fit your pet’s routine. I’m dedicated to keeping your pet safe and happy. I make sure their space is peaceful, loving, and spotless, so they can feel secure and at ease. I pay close attention to their feeding times, medicine, exercise, and any special needs they might have. I also make sure to earn their trust and treat them as if they were part of my family, whether I’m taking care of them at my place or yours.

About: I’m a reliable, caring pet sitter who keeps routines consistent, provides personalized attention, ensures pets feel safe and comfortable, and gives plenty of love, playtime, and companionship. Pet care is part of my daily routine. I have two cats myself, so I prioritize consistent visits, feeding, walks, and attention to keep pets comfortable and safe. While I am not offering boarding or day care at my own home at this time, I am quite responsible in my treatment of other people's property while caring for their pets. I can follow directions, keep gates closed, and follow safety protocols.

FAQs for Cat Sitting - Desert Hot Springs

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Desert Hot Springs on Rover is $17.76 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 Cat 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 Cat Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of September 2026, there are 391 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Desert Hot Springs. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

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.

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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Desert Hot Springs. On Rover:

  • 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 96% 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.

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.
