About: Hi, I’m Matthew! Having grown up with dogs and animals my whole life, pet care is second nature to me. I treat every animal with the highest level of love, attention, and respect, ensuring they stay happy, safe, and comfortable. I offer reliable dog walking, quick drop-in visits, and dedicated overnight care in your home. Whether your dog needs high-energy outdoor play, consistent feeding routines, or a cozy companion to stay with them through the night, I tailor my care directly to their unique personality and needs. I pride myself on prompt communication, sending frequent photo updates, and keeping your home neat and secure. Your pets will always receive family-level care and undivided affection while you're away. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to prioritize your pet's needs throughout the day and week. Whether you need drop-in visits, energetic dog walks, or overnight stay-overs at your home, I dedicate undivided time and focus to following your exact routine without rushing. When staying at or visiting your home, safety and security are my top priorities. I strictly follow all entry, door-locking, and home care instructions to keep your space secure. I maintain a clean environment, follow feeding and medication schedules precisely, keep dogs securely leashed during walks, and send detailed regular updates and photos for total peace of mind.

“We just worked with Susan for the first time, and we won't use anyone else whenever she is available. She did a great job with our two cats during an overnight stay on short notice. The cats can be a challenge because one is a diabetic needing insulin injections, and the other is a very picky eater. Both cats were calm and happy when we came home, and the house was in perfect order. All of our instructions were followed perfectly, except Susan stayed later than we had asked because she wanted to be sure the cats were safe and we got home on time despite bad weather. We recommend Susan very, very highly.”

“Rhondee is fantastic and trustworthy! She is very respectful of our house and property. She always arrived on time and followed through on everything we asked. House was left in the same condition as when we left. Dogs and cat were well-cared for; we were delighted with our choice in Rhondee. She did great by us. Certainly reasonable; did not take advantage of the holidays for house sitting.”

“Elaine was beyond fantastic. We have a 9-month-old Westie that we have not left with anyone since we got her at Thanksgiving. We were very nervous trying to find a suitable person to watch Cotton. Not only would we be leaving her for the first time, but our trip to Europe was for a month. Elaine went out of her way to assure us and ease Cotton into a smooth transition. Elaine sent us many cute pictures during our journey, and we could see by the pictures that Cotton had found a second home. Now, if we have to travel again, we know we have found a wonderful person to care for our Girl. We highly recommend Elaine.”

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.

“Robert was great with our elderly dog who is both a picky eater and refuser of his medications. He was very patient, sending us frequent updates and we felt very comfortable that he would be able to handle any unforeseen issues. Robert has a calming energy, and our dog was definitely beginning to warm up to him after a few days together. We look forward to booking with Robert again soon :)”

Bonnie did great following all instructions for our dogs’ care needs, and we felt comfortable with her staying in our home! She worked with our dog when she was being picky, and we would feel comfortable working with her again!!”

“Jonathan was absolutely amazing. He took wonderful care of both of our dogs, and it was clear from the start how much he truly loves animals. The house was impeccable when we returned, and our pups were happy, relaxed, and clearly adored. In fact, they now run to the front gate every day, waiting for him to come back! We will definitely be booking with him again. Highly recommend!”

About: What sets me apart as a pet sitter is my genuine love for animals and my eagerness to learn. While I may not have a lot of experience, I'm dedicated to providing a safe and caring environment for your furry animals. I'm patient and attentive, making sure to follow any specific instructions you have. I’m excited to bond with your pets and ensure they feel loved and comfortable while you’re away! I work part-time, pet care fits right into my daily routine! I love making time for walks, playtime, and feeding. I usually set aside specific times for walks and play sessions, making sure pets get plenty of exercise and attention. When caring for pets in my client’s home, I follow their routine as closely as possible to make sure the pets feel at ease. I stick to their feeding schedules, walk times, and any other specific instructions given by the pet owners. I also make sure to keep the home tidy and respect the client’s space.

“It's so difficult when you have a new pup in the house: the dog is still getting used to new surroundings and can easily become fearful when the new "hooman" is away for longer than usual. Matthew stepped in for me and Buddy felt immediately comfortable with him. I returned to no separation issues at all. Matthew went above and beyond while I was away. He is very calm and that rubbed off on Buddy. My Buddy just LOVES Matthew!”

“Such a relief finding Jessica! My husband and I recently moved to the Valley and have been looking to find reliable options when we go out of town to babysit our 2 cute young cats. We don’t have human babies so these are truly our babies! I immediately felt comfortable with Jessica and I could tell our girls were comfortable too. Our home was left tidy and I’m sure Mavis and Margaux appreciated having a loving sitter while we were gone. Looking forward to booking again ?”

FAQs for House Sitting - Hidden Palms

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of September 2026, there are 499 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Hidden Palms. 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 Hidden Palms 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 Hidden Palms 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 Hidden Palms 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Hidden Palms. On Rover:

  • 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 94% 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.
