About: I’ve been a dog lover my entire life, and dogs have always been a central part of my home and my heart. Over the years I’ve cared for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments, so I’m comfortable handling everything from daily routines to those moments when a pup isn’t feeling their best. I take pride in making sure every dog in my care gets plenty of walks, playtime, and the kind of attention that keeps their tail wagging. Whether your dog needs a calm companion or an enthusiastic play session, I’m here for all of it and will treat them like my own. I’m retired and home all day every day, so your dog will always have someone around. I’m around morning, afternoon, and evening love having a pup by my side throughout the day. I live in a condo with access to a fenced yard, so there’s a safe spot outside for fresh air and playtime whenever your pup needs it. I have a dog of my own at home, so your dog will have a buddy to hang out with as well.
About: I've been caring for pets since 2021. One of my sisters has a tuxedo cat, and my other sister has two French Bulldogs. Whenever their schedules get busy, they know they can count on me to look after their pets and make sure they're happy, safe, and well cared for. I truly enjoy spending time with animals and making them feel comfortable while their owners are away. Whether it's feeding them, taking them on walks, playing with them, or simply giving them companionship and affection, I always do my best to make them feel loved and at ease. I understand that every pet has their own personality and routine, and I'm committed to providing the same level of care and attention I would give my own pets. I’m a college student currently unemployed, which allows me to have a flexible schedule and dedicate time to providing pets with walks, care, attention, and companionship. I create a safe, comfortable, and welcoming environment. In a client’s home, I will follow their instructions closely, respect their space, and maintain their pet’s normal routine. I make sure pets receive proper attention, care, and supervision while keeping their safety and well-being my top priority.
“It was our dog's first pet sitting experience and she felt comfortable with Anna right away. She is very professional and sends lots of pictures so you can feel at ease leaving your dog.”
“Don was great with both my dog, Neko, and my Cat, Teri. He sent videos regularly and keep me informed about Neko and especially how Teri were doing. Also, Don went out of his way to care for Teri, my cat. Teri has kidney disease and requires hydration with a saline solution every day. Don was wonderful with Teri by injecting the solution under his skin. This was accomplished by placing a needle under Teri's loose skin and slowly allowing the saline solution to flow under his skin. Don is very personable and I recommend him very highly for caring for your pet.”
“Crystal is wonderful! She is reliable, trustworthy & has excellent communications! We felt at ease leaving for a couple of nights knowing our fur babies were home being loved on 🐶🐕✨”
“Katie was amazing. We had an erratic schedule where we needed her help on and off. That meant many start times and stop times through a short three day stay in Desert Hot Springs. Katie was always on time, totally prepared, and was able to handle our timid, fearful little dog masterfully. Clearly she has experience with animals. The bonus is her great personality and the fact she’s 100% reliable. Would (& likely WILL) hire her again any time we come this way. This was our first time using Rover and if the rest of the dog- sitters are as adept as Katie, we feel like we hit a gold-mine with this app.”
About: I’ve loved dogs for as long as I can remember! I have a dog of my own, Stella, and I’ve spent years helping care for the pets of friends, family, and neighbors. For the past eight years, I’ve also helped care for my neighbors’ cats while they’re traveling, so I’m comfortable caring for both dogs and cats. As a Cal Poly student home for the summer, I’d love to spend my extra time hanging out with your pets. Whether your dog loves long walks, playing fetch, or just getting lots of attention and cuddles, I’ll make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. As a Cal Poly student home for the summer, I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to pet care. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, house sitting, and overnight care throughout the week. I’ll do my best to accommodate your pet’s routine and make sure they get the attention, exercise, and love they deserve. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, and I take that responsibility seriously. I’ll always follow your instructions, respect your home, and make your pet’s safety and comfort my top priorities. Whether I’m stopping by for a visit or staying overnight, I’ll treat your pets with the same care and attention I give my own.
“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. ❤️??”

“Bonnie stayed at our home and cared for our senior dog for about 2 weeks while we were away. 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!!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Indian Wells
Alexis was great! She was very careful with our diabetic cat (who requires 2 shots a day / 12 hours apart) and always let us know after each injection that the shot had gone well. She also stayed in touch and sent photos of our boys. We’d definitely book her again!
It is so hard to leave your bff behind! Susan is reliable, caring and my dog adored her from the first moment they met. She sent updates throughout our time away and the best photos! I know how hard it to find a sitter, trusting that they take care as you would…. so grateful we found Susan!
John watched and took care of our two Boys while we got away on vacation. He is such a caring individual it gave use great peace of mind knowing that he was there taking care of them in our absence. He communicated with us every day and sent pictures of the activities that he was doing with the dogs. We feel so fortunate to have found John and made a connection with him. Our Boys, Riley and Koda really liked John as well, he has a wonderful rapport with them. We will definitely call on John again when we go on our next trip.
Margie is a great house/dog sitter. My two Goldendoodles are happy when I come home after a a few days traveling. She is so conscientious and caring with my fur-babies. I love her communication and photos she sends. It makes all the difference knowing your pets are well cared for and loved. I highly recommend her and will always try to get her on my future trips. Also my home is well cared for.
Aimee was absolutely amazing! She is incredibly kind, patient, and was so sweet with Chloe. She sent thoughtful updates, kept Chloe on her routine, and gave her plenty of love and attention. We never had to worry for a second while we were away. We’re so grateful we found her. Couldn’t ask for better care — highly recommend!

FAQs for House Sitting - Indian Wells
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Indian Wells on Rover is $131.25 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House 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 House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 527 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Indian Wells. 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 Indian Wells 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 Indian Wells 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 Indian Wells 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.

- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 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.
