“James is a fantastic, prompt and effective sitter! We have an 18 year old blind & deaf cat who requires a lot of affection and attention since he’s a little lost in space these days. James gave Tippy a routine every morning & evening and he was always on time & on top of everything we asked for which gave us so much peace of mind. We haven’t been able to travel since Tips needs more care but now that we found James we can and are so grateful. Thanks so much, James; we will be in touch about future trips. Tippy misses you already!! 😹”
About: I’ve been a dog lover my entire life. I grew up with a poodle, then multiple Beagles, a terrier and later a Bull Terrier. I often watch my neighbor’s 15 year old chihuahua . I’m a sr.myself, with an adorable beagle; I’m home 98% of the time, and being of service for pets gives me great joy. I raised an Eagle Scout ,who graduated from MIT, and I sold diamonds and Rolex for years at Ben Bridge in Redondo Beach. Thank you so much for your trust . I always go above and beyond. I roast a lot of chicken , AND, I have a fun backyard just perfect for naps and zoomies. Working on my pet spa area for future special smaller pet pampering services. Researching spa lines! I’m a senior who spends majority of my time at home with my pups. Lots of attention and interaction , and backyard breaks . Pup heaven! All pups I care for are well-socialized and get along well with others . I have a lovely fenced in backyard, and my own pup loves sunning himself at all times of the day, with my supervision. My large sectional has a great view of hummingbirds and humans, and it’s pup-popular. I’m normally always home except for quick trips to the grocery store or an occasional lunch out ; otherwise I’m here , hands-on, throwing balls, petting lovelies all day. Balm for my soul.
About: I have cared for and loved being around dogs since a child. I have been without a dog for the last two years after my 15 year old dachshund crossed the rainbow bridge. While I am not ready for another just yet, I am looking forward to doting on your fur babies while I care for them. I am happy to give medications/injectables, if needed and am experienced doing so. They will be afforded lots of attention here and will be cared for as if they were at home. I have most of my days free now and while I do travel at times, I am committed to caring for your dog(s) so you know they are well taken care of while you are away. I have a fenced in yard and live in a very dog friendly community with dog parks and enjoy walking the neighborhood. My home is primarily ceramic flooring, in case of accidents, makes clean up super easy.
About: Hi Pet Owners! I have a plethora of experience caring for dogs (and cats) of all ages and sizes, from the tiny toy breed, to the Great Dane. I grew up with dogs, worked in a veterinary clinic, and own my own fur babies. Through these experiences, I bring years of knowledge caring for pups. Most recently, I have been a pet sitter on the Rover app, caring for pets throughout the Palm Springs area. This has included boarding at my house, house sits, and lots of dog walks! Through my experience on Rover, I have learned how to manage all sorts of personalities, dietary restrictions, medication administrations, and every other special pet need imaginable! I'd be thrilled to help you and your pet out in the future. I work from home, so I'm here during the day to care for the animals. I'm available 7 days a week to care for pets. I have a fenced-in yard. I have 2 golden doodles of my own who are friendly and have experience meeting new friends and sharing their mom! I have crates and can separate pets if needed.
“Samantha was fantastic! She arrived on time and took great care of my cat, who absolutely loved her and played with her the entire visit. She made sure my cat was fed, kept everything tidy, and locked up before leaving. I felt completely comfortable knowing both my home and my cat were in good hands. I’d definitely book with her again!”
“Elaine was able to visit my cats at our home. Everything was coordinated and planned, the process was straight forward. Like the past appointment with Elaine she was wonderful to work with and I hope to use her services again in the future when traveling.”

“Erika is an absolute gem! We chose to work with her because we have two cats and saw she had experience specifically with kitties. Erika went above and beyond to care for our babies while we were away for a trip. She spent long quality time with them and sent plenty of adorable photos in each update! Whenever we go away again, we will definitely feel secure with her care and can tell she is for sure a cat person with a calm and comforting demeanor. Thanks again!!”

About: GROWING UP, MY MOM ONLY ALLOWED US TO HAVE CATS AS PETS. WHEN I WAS 20-YEARS OLD, I ADOPTED MY FIRST PUPPY FROM THE LONG ISLAND, NEW YORK ANIMAL SHELTER. HE WAS AN AKITA/GERMAN SHEPPARD MIX & WE HAD HIM FOR 17-YEARS UNTIL WE HAD TO PUT HIM TO SLEEP 😞. I ADOPTED 4 OTHER PUPPIES AFTER THAT. I EMJOY THE COMPANY OF PETS MORE THEN I ENJOY THE COMPANY OF PEOPLE LOL 😂. PETS ARE MORE LOYAL. I KNOW THAT WE ALL TREAT OUR PETS LIKE OUR CHILDREN, SO WE SHOULD SPARE NO EXPENSE WHEN IT COMES TO PET SITTING/BOARDING. I AM CURRENTLY UNEMPLOYED, SO MY SCHEDULE IS COMPLETELY OPEN. ALSO, MY PROFESSION IS WORKING AS EXECUTIVE ASSISTANT, SO I GET TO WORK REMOTELY. I CAN PROVIDE THE BEST CARE & ATTENTION ACCORDING TO MY SCHEDULE. OUR PROPERTY HAS AN EAST & WEST LAWN AREA THAT IS FENCED IN & SAFE. WE HAVE 3 VERY FRIENDLY & LOVABLE DOGS (6-YEAR OLD WHITE GERMAN SHEPPARD, 13-YEAR OLD COTTON DETULIA & 6-MONTH OLD BOXER). SAFETY & TRUST IS ALWAYS THE MOST IMPORTANT ASPECT OF PET SITTING/BOARDING. MAKING SURE THAT BOTH HUMAN & PET ARE HAPPY & GET ALONG.
About: I provide attentive, private pet care tailored to desert living, with hands-on experience in daily dog walking, in-home sitting, puppy care, and senior support. I actively manage heat, hydration, pacing, and paw safety, adjusting each walk to the season and the individual dog. I guide puppies with structure and consistency, support senior dogs with patience and medication awareness, and maintain calm, controlled walks using positive reinforcement. I limit the number of dogs in my care, offer private walks only, and treat every home with discretion and respect—delivering reliable, thoughtful care that keeps dogs safe, enriched, and owners completely at ease. I’m available Monday through Sunday, with regular hours from as early as 6 a.m. to as late as 8 p.m., and I offer flexibility to accommodate special scheduling needs when required. I prioritize safety, trust, and calm structure in every setting, whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home. I follow each dog’s routine closely, maintain a clean and respectful environment, and remain mindful of boundaries, belongings, and privacy at all times. I communicate clearly and consistently with owners, providing updates and transparency so they feel confident and informed. I move intentionally, reinforce positive behavior, and create a calm, secure atmosphere that allows dogs to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in their own space.
“John has been a wonderful experience and is really helping dog sit / drop in for my fur baby while I am at work. This has definitely helped ease the stress of a young eager puppy!”
“Maria was great with our three kitties. She was very patient and attentive to their needs. So glad that we found her and will definitely be using her service again in the future. We highly recommend her for your pet sitting needs!”
“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!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
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 .
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a 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 .
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.
