About: I’ve always loved animals my whole life and grew up taking care of cats and dogs. I’ve pet sat for family and friends many a times. I’m very good a training puppies as well as caring for older pets. These last couple of years i’ve pet sat a lot more and have gained a good amount of experience! 🤍 I’m currently working part-time as well as being a full time college student but I will have plenty of time to drop in and make sure your pets are doing well! I can work around my work and school schedule to drop in before and after if need be. I want to make sure your pets feel comfortable and safe in their own home so i’ll be sure to stay with their normal routine. I’m very patient and equipped to handle different medication or special routines. I understand that it can be scary leaving your pets in someone else’s hands but I want to reassure you that you can count on me to make sure that your pets are being cared for properly. I respect your home and their space and will keep you updated with how your pets are doing after each visit. I want your mind to be at ease while you’re away and your pets to be safe and happy!
“This was my first time utilizing Sophia’s services and she was lovely! She tended to our 3 kitties for a full week while we were away for Thanksgiving. She was friendly, communicative, and did a great job with my detailed instructions. Would highly recommend!”
“McKenna cared for our 2 young cats when we were away from home for 4 days. She was always on time, followed all instructions and was great at communicating with us. She sent photos and updates every day. We would definitely use Mc Kenna again the next time we're out of town.”
“Julie is amazing! She offered a meet and greet which made me feel that much more comfortable. She sent me sweet photos and a detailed report and of all that happened during her drop in. Our cats warmed up to her during her quick stay! We would definitely book with her again!”
“Kimberly was such an angel helping with our 2 pampered cats!! We appreciated the photos and video and our girls seemed very relaxed when we got home. It's stressful leaving your pets and home with someone you don't know well although we felt really comfortable. So happy to have a reliable option in the Desert next time we go away. Thanks again Kimberly!! 🙏”
“Chloe did a great job taking care of my furbabies! I am a super helicopter pet parent who hates leaving her pets, so I have very high standards. Since we work from home, our pets are used to having someone with them 24/7 and are very socialized, so I didn't want them feeling lonely. Chloe completely understood and stayed in our house for over 2 weeks to take care of the little ones. She sent regular photo updates that showed her playing with the cats and providing enrichment for them. The regular check-ins were so comforting to me! She also left the house clean and tidy for us to come home to. She responded promptly any time I texted her, and was extremely courteous. All in all, it was a great experience and we will definitely book Chloe again.”
“Hands down the best experience so far with Rover. Victoria was exceptional. She was recommended to me and let this be my recommendation to anyone desiring drop-in visits. Her updates were thorough and detailed. Even the pictures had captions added to make it fun and informative. The love and care she had for our dogs and respect for us and our home was evident.”

“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 ?”
“Amazing experience! Melanie was able to accommodate my request at the last minute, which I really appreciated. She was reliable, communicative, and took great care of my pet during the drop-in. I also really appreciated that she was open to doing a trial visit first, since I’m looking for someone I can trust for longer-term house sitting in the future. Everything went smoothly, and I felt very comfortable with her care. I’d definitely recommend her and would happily book with her again!”
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We can’t thank Holly enough for stepping in at the last minute to take care of our pets! She was incredibly understanding and accommodating with our sudden trip, and her communication was excellent from start to finish. We really appreciated how attentive she was to all of our pets’ needs and how she kept us updated with messages and photos—it gave us such peace of mind while we were away. Everything was perfectly handled, and our pets were clearly happy and well cared for. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and professional pet sitter!”
“My boys are so happy when Brittany stops by. My long work hours are less anxiety-ridden with her drop in visits. Brittany loves my boys and teaches them new things and they are happy when I come home from work!”
“Katie is absolutely amazing! She’s flexible, communicative, professional, punctual, and most importantly, great with cats. My social girl has been spoiled with so much dedicated playtime the past few days that I am going to have to step it up to get back in her good graces. I would recommend Katie and will definitely hire her again.”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs of all sizes since I was a young girl, and animals have always been a natural part of my life. I’ve rescued dogs throughout my adulthood and loved every breed, personality, and quirky soul that’s come my way. Even cats — despite my allergies — tend to walk right up to me, which always makes me smile. I’ll still care for them with love (and a little help from allergy meds). I’m an empath with a deep, intuitive connection to animals. Nervous, shy, senior, or sensitive pets usually relax around me quickly. I read their body language, respect their boundaries, and create a calm, predictable environment where they feel safe and understood. I also bring professional caregiving skills to my pet care. As a retired massage therapist and longtime caregiver, I can offer gentle pet massage, calming touch, and support for aging, compassionate end of life care and support or anxious dogs. I’m comfortable providing wound care, administering medications, and injections for diabetic animal when needed. What truly sets me apart is the combination of lifelong love of animals, my experience, intuition, and genuine compassion. Your pet will be cared for with patience, warmth, and the same steady presence I’ve brought to every animal I’ve loved. When I am caring for your loved one I commit to your Pet only. No other side jobs. No leaving to walk or feed another animal. I serve one family at a time whether that is 1 pet or 3 or more Your family is my priority always. I create a calm, predictable environment where pets feel safe, understood, and cared for in my Home or Yours. I will respect your home, your space, your privacy and the trust you placed in me.

Aimee is amazing! I have two cats—the younger one became her friend immediately. My older cat is very shy and usually hides from strangers, but Aimee somehow worked her magic and built a connection with him. Before I knew it, he was showing his tummy and rubbing up against her! I truly couldn’t find a better person to trust with my boys.
Alyssa did a wonderful job taking care of my dog and cat while I was away for a few days! The communication was excellent, and she informed me when she arrived and left my house, and also sent pictures of my pets as well. I’m very happy and definitely recommend!
I booked Stephanie for second time because of her love and care of my kitties. This time I added my in laws dog and she was more than happy to help with them. She feed them, play with them and cuddle with them. She's very respectful and friendly also very helpful and knowledgeable and courteous and caring. And I'll ask for her service anytime time I need her.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Indian Wells on Rover is $34.41 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 317 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Indian Wells. 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.

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.
