“Elaine S. was fantastic! She took great care of our dogs, Chloe and Culver, and gave us peace of mind while we had dinner and drinks in Palm Springs. She kept us updated with great communication, including photos and messages, which we really appreciated. It was clear our dogs were comfortable and well cared for, we came home to happy, relaxed pups. We would absolutely book with Elaine again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and communicative Rover sitter in Palm Springs.”
“Tigh helped us out so much by adding these 2 extra days with Nico! He is a fantastic guy and so great with Nico. Loved seeing our pup so happy and healthy when we returned from our trip!”
“I was so nervous because I typically fly my dogs to my mom‘s cause I don’t trust anybody with my babies! So so happy my mom found Nina on here. I don’t treat my dogs like dogs. I treat them like my actual children. lol so it took a lot for me to drop them off. Nina made me feel so comfortable. I love the constant updates with pictures and videos throughout the day. It was extremely comforting. She took amazing care of them. They were very content and so happy. Can’t thank her enough!!”
“What a great lover of the Animal Kingdom with intelligence and the perfect touch to be cared and trusted taking her responsibilities as part of her life, you can’t go wrong with a person of this value”
“Renee is a caring and conscientious sitter. My animals loved her and adjusted to her quickly. I found her very prompt, clear and communicative. Definitely will be booking with her again!”
About: I have cared for large, medium, and small dogs for 15 years. I also have cat care experience. I studied animal science at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo, so I can also care for livestock and various species of animals more than cats and dogs as well. I have a BS degree in Animal Science and Agricultural Science, a master's in Agriculture and currently working on my doctoral degree. Currently, Fall 2026, for my day job I am a high school teacher who teaches classes in veterinarian sciences, livestock management, plant science and horticulture, floral design, and landscape design. I am enrolled in a doctoral program and beginning my dissertation work. I would like to help care for pets to help relieve stress and offer help to fellow pet owners. I care for pets across the Coachella Valley. I have a fenced backyard. One friendly dogs to keep your furry friend company. I can crate. Can crate and walk as well as play every 2 hours. Reach out if you have specific requests.
“Roman is everything you could ask for from a dog/house sitter. Emma so enjoyed him and he completely kept our minds at ease while we were away. Roman gets our highest recommendation and is our first choice for the future.”
About: Anytime, anywhere I’ll be there! I am passionate about animals and would love to take care of your fur babies while you’re away. I am willing to send photos, updates and FaceTime whenever necessary. I am knowledgeable in medication handling, feeding routines and nature walks. I’ve trained several breeds in my lifetime. (Non-licensed but great at it none the less) I am currently retired and have open availability. I am willing to travel. I have a 2020 Elantra. I live in Desert Hot Springs. Thank you I am a part of a community that has a dog park. My home pet friendly. I have a fur baby of my own and my sister has a fur baby of her own as well. Very other pet friendly.
“Silvana is sweet, trustworthy and kind hearted. My dogs sensed her kindness right away. They love her. Silvana was prompt on arrival and stayed the entire time in my home. She took care of my two German Shepherds like they were her own. I will definitley ask her again to help out in the future. Thank you Silvana.”
“We could not have found a better house and pet sitter. Rhondee is the best. Our pups instantly fell in love with her and we enjoyed our time away even more knowing Rhondee was providing the best care possible for our pups and our home. ❤️??”
“Molly is an incredible sitter! She was able to help out last minute and was very flexible with our ever changing schedule. She is very communicative with photos and sweet messages about the pups. I would recommend Molly to anyone. She left the house very clean too!”
About: My life has been rewarded through a menagerie of animals and detailed care, ranging from dogs, cats, birds, fish, rodents. A complete joy to be offered and shared.

With my watchful and caring eye, your pet will receive a full companionship and bonding treatment from my enthusiastic service. I'm dedicated to all animals.
“Michael has done a great job, watching my small pup who doesn't eat well and needs special care for 12 days! He sent me videos and pictures every day. And when I returned home Tiffany couldn't be more happy and excited, which means he took a really good care of her. If I ever need a Dogsitter I will definitely ask Michael.”
About: My uncle used to own a boarding and grooming facility in Tucson, Arizona and I worked for him. This included feeding dogs and cats as well as cleaning litter boxes and kennels. I also administered medication’s. Since being in the Coachella Valley, I’ve also done pet/house sitting for a family that had four dogs and three cats & another family that had four dogs & a blind orange cat. I have one small and spunky multi poo that has to have three medications that she will not chew so I have to physically administer it with a feeding syringe. I have one cat now, but at one time I had five that were all rescues and lived out their old age with us. I work full time, but I’m able to request time off if I get to pet/house sit. I’m also available before & after work & on my days off. I will carefully follow all instructions for the pet & home I will sit for. Everything from dietary needs, medication and walking. I will even bathe your pet.
“Mackenzie was amazing with my beagles. My Lily is t friendly with most people and she immediately warmed up to Mackenzie. My home was in perfect condition and my babies were obviously lives and well taken care of for the 3 days I was away. Definitely rebooking her!”
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!
About: I've been a pet owner my entire life. From being raised on a dairy farm, to owning a small hobby farm, dogs, cats, chickens, goats, and horses have all been a huge part of my life. Transitioning to a "snowbird," lifestyle, I have more time to spend loving on my own Frenchies and other people's pets as well! I have a lot of experience with dogs that need special attention to diet, allergies, specific schedules etc. Would love to meet you and care for your animals treating them as if they were my own! I'm retired and have a flexible schedule. I'm active with several hobbies but also available most days unless otherwise noted. I exercise a lot so love to walk and play with pets as much as possible. I prefer to care for pets in your own home, keeping it simple for you and your dog to be comfortable in their own environment.
“Tanya watched our boys for 3 days and while they are good one is a very energetic 6 month old boxer. She sent us pictures every day and updated us on how they were doing. When we got home they were happy and healthy. I would use Tanya again and highly recommend her to others!”
“First time using Rover. Extremely pleased with Joseph And his kindness with my guy! Nice not to have him in the kennel! Home where he is comfortable! Definitely will ask for his services again!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Garnet
This was our first time having Tony stay with Precious (our beloved iggy) on an extended stay, and he was absolutely fantastic. Iggies are notoriously anxious and attached. He gained her trust, and they became fine friends. We also appreciated all the pictures and updates Tony provided along the way. Also, he took good care of the house perfectly. We highly recommend Tony.

The average cost of House Sitting in Garnet is $111 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 and $132 per night.

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 Garnet 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 Garnet 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Garnet 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 , 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 .
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 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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
