“Mona was fantastic! She stayed in touch with me while was gone and provided me with updates, videos and photos of my kids. As a very nervous dog dad Mona made me feel very comfortable while I was gone. I would hire her back anytime and highly recommend her to anyone seeking a reliable and dependable dog/house sitter.”

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.

“Jordan was a total delight. She is very warm, caring, and trustworthy. She took care of my two cats for five overnight stays. My cats are very shy but warmed up to her quickly. Jordan sent cute photos of them daily. She also took care of my house and left it spotless. I highly recommend Jordan and will definitely ask her take care of my cats and home again.

“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 been a pet owner for most of my life, so caring for animals comes naturally to me. I understand that every pet has a unique personality, routine, and way of feeling secure. I take time to get to know each pet so they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their family is away. Whether they enjoy gentle walks, playtime, quiet companionship, or extra cuddles, I will provide the dependable and attentive care they need. After recently saying goodbye to my beloved dog of 12 years, I am not quite ready to welcome another puppy of my own. Caring for other people’s pets has become an especially meaningful way for me to continue sharing my love for animals. I understand how deeply pets are cherished, and I will care for yours with the same tenderness and attention I would want for my own. Since I work from home, I’m available any day of the week and have plenty of time to give your pet the attention, companionship, and affection they deserve. I believe every pet is unique, so I take the time to earn their trust, follow their routine, and make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I care for every pet as if they were my own. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I follow your care instructions carefully, pay attention to each pet’s unique personality, and provide lots of love, patience, and companionship. I’ll also keep your home tidy and send regular updates so you always know how your furry family member is doing.

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.

About: I’ve been a dog lover, owner and house sitter for 12 years. Your home and pets will always have my full attention, love and respect! I consider myself very fortunate to run my own small business and have the flexibility to work from my laptop. Furry friends and warm homes are an ideal environment for me to lightly work, and making sure your pets and home are loved, and safe while you are away. I treat pets and clients homes as if they were my own. Being a bit OCD, I pride myself in my ability to give animals the attention they need, and leaving clients homes in better conditions than I found them in!

“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.”

About: I’ve had several dogs growing up so I’ve grown to love and nurture all animals! I enjoy spending time with these fur babies and giving them the attention they deserve. I love to take walks at the park near my house, we can cuddle while I do my homework, and I love taking time to play fetch and tug-of-war with these fur babies! I have an enclosed patio, I can crate your pets if needed and I have an open space for them to roam. I give full attention to leashes and remaining vigilant of other dogs.

About: Hi! I’m Vic! I have 4 years of hands on animal care experience, including working in a shelter medical department and caring for dogs and cats with a variety of needs. I’m comfortable with medication administration, feeding routines, senior pets, nervous animals, and pets who need a little extra patience and attention. I genuinely love animals and treat every pet like they’re my own. I’m reliable, attentive, and happy to follow your pet’s normal routine so they feel comfortable while you’re away. I’m currently looking to build my Rover clientele, so I’m especially excited to meet some new furry friends! 🐾 I’m available for pet care primarily in the evenings and on weekends. I keep my schedule organized and make sure I have plenty of time to give each pet the attention, exercise, and care they need. I’m very attentive when caring for pets and always make sure they’re safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I pay close attention to appetite, behavior, bathroom habits, and anything that seems out of the ordinary. I’m used to working with all kinds of personalities and will take the time to learn what makes each pet feel secure. I’ll follow their routine and care instructions closely, keep their environment clean and calm, and treat your pets like they’re my own ❤️

It gives us so much peace of mind knowing they’re in such caring and trustworthy hands while we’re away. We always come home to happy pets and a well-cared-for home.

Aimee is absolutely wonderful! We couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter. She is by far the best pet sitter we’ve ever had! Aimee took the time to play with our animals, give them plenty of attention and snuggles, and even won over Kinx, who is usually very shy and takes a while to warm up to people. She took Bridgit for walks, played with all of them, and kept us updated throughout our trip with lots of photos and videos. It was so reassuring to see how happy and well cared for they were while we were away. Aimee also left our house just as clean and tidy as we left it, which was an added bonus. We would absolutely hire Aimee again and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will treat their pets like family. She was fantastic!

FAQs for House Sitting - Indian Wells

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of House Sitting in Indian Wells on Rover is $131 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $41 and $139 per night. sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of October 2026, there are 504 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.

<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 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 , 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.

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

  • 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% 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.
