“Jessica is fabulous! She was faced with two unexpected challenges on day one of her stay, and took them both on with grace. She updated us daily and our fur babies thrived under her care. Could not recommend her more highly.”
“Isabelle is amazing! Nala immediately warmed up to her at the meet n greet, making me feel more at ease leaving her with a new person. Isabelle gave regular updates and pictures and took Nala on a few little adventures, which I greatly appreciated :) Isabelle also took great care of our place. Everything was clean and tidy when we returned. I would absolutely recommend her and will definitely be reaching out for future needs!”
“Mona was an absolute AMAZING dog sitter for our 2 dogs. She was very attentive to her needs and gave us a lot of updates through the day. I felt so at ease knowing our dogs were taken care of by her. She’s absolutely wonderful and we’ll definitely book her again!😊”
“Lydia was amazing! We were from out of town and needed a pet sitter for our two dogs on short notice. I was really anxious about leaving them, but Lydia completely put my mind at ease. She sent tons of pictures and updates. It was clear our dogs were well cared for and happy. She was reliable, kind, and went above and beyond. If you ever need a trustworthy pet sitter, I highly recommend Lydia!”
“My husband and I are so happy to have found Susan! We recently moved to La Quinta from Northern Cal and have been looking for reliable, kind help for our 2 young cats - our babies! Susan is lovely and left our place spotless, we could tell our girls were well taken care of and it was comforting to go out of town and receive her updates and photos (and she was understanding that I’m an overly loving new pet parent lol). Hopefully she is available when we go out of town next time!”
“Rhondee did an excellent job taking care of our pets and home. Any issues that arose were reported and dealt with promptly. Our girls are always happy to see her and we never worry about leaving them in her care.”
“Kimberly is a breath of fresh air! She was very comfortable with our pets and with us. She went over and beyond. She kept in touch with pictures and even watered some potted plants for us. We will definitely use her again.”
“My large rambunctious dog loves Joy. Joy walked and snuggled both my boys. Received daily walk emails, updates and pictures on a small medical issue that Joy monitored for us and lots of pictures.”
“Rebecca communicated clearly with us throughout the process. Misty fell in love with her! I was worried she’d be crying at the door. Nope, she was asleep on Rebecca’s lap instead. What a relief. We look forward to return visits.”
“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!!”
“Karaleah watched our two Bostons for just over 2 weeks in my home. She was wonderful with communication and sending pictures of our pups often. She took care of our home as well. She followed our instructions. I would recommended her as well as use her again.”
“Dola was awesome!!! I appreciated Dola’s positive energy, and also her smooth and prompt communication. From scheduling the initial Meet & Greet to the last day of our services, Dola eased my anxiety of leaving my doggie baby at a AirBnB place to enjoy Coachella each day we were in Palm Springs. My doggie was comfortable and relaxed in Dola’s presence. Dola, thank you so much for your Rover services! Hope we meet again!”
“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 🐶🐕✨”
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.
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 grown up with many pets in my life, including dogs, cats, bunnies, and even snakes. Neighbors, coworkers and family members have all relied on my services and are beyond satisfied. Animals and I get along really well and I am able to walk, feed, give any medications, and spend the night with them. I currently work full-time Monday-Friday (from home) and am looking to supplement my income with pet sitting. I'd love to help with pets as often as possible, overnights included. With all animals and environments I make sure I am focused on the pet at all times while keeping a birds eye view of the surroundings. I am able to anticipate needs and as a result pets and owners are very happy with me. I work full time from home Monday-Friday. I am also an artist and performance/wellness coach, and if I am staying overnight will need wifi access. With pets, I am gentle and compassionate. I know that it takes confidence to partner with them and keep them feeling safe. I am respectful and aware of my surroundings and follow details as requested.
About: I've had 2 dogs my whole life. Both which lived over 10 years each. I've also taken care of my daughters 3 labs since they were puppies. I am retired and live in a casita so I can give all my attention to your fur babies. I'm available most of the time since I'm retired. I love walking everyday everywhere . Please feel free to contact me anytime. Monday through Friday are the best days for me. I don't have any dogs so I don't have to worry about that. And your dog will be safe with me in my secured house.
About: I've been a lifelong animal lover and currently care for my two beloved cats, Leo and Bella. They have taught me the importance of patience, consistency, and understanding each pet's unique personality. I know how much pets mean to their families, and I will treat yours with the same love and care I give my own. I am dependable, responsible, and committed to making sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and happy while you're away. I currently work full-time in hospitality, but I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide dependable pet care before or after work and on my days off. I'll always communicate my availability in advance and make sure your pet receives the attention, love, and care they deserve. I treat every pet as if they were my own. Your pet's safety, comfort, and routine are my top priorities. I carefully follow all feeding schedules, medication instructions (if needed), and any special requests. I'll keep your home clean and secure and send regular photo and video updates so you can have peace of mind while you're away. As a proud cat mom to Leo and Bella, I understand how important it is to care for every pet with patience, kindness, and respect.
“Cheryl was amazing with my dog Skye! She went above and beyond to make sure she was happy,comfortable and exercised, and even came and stayed in our house to make it easier for Skye. I highly recommend Cheryl, and we will definitely be using her again!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Indian Wells
Jon is the BEST dog sitter and all around nice guy! He stayed in our home with Lexi during the length of our trip, and we felt so comfortable entrusting them both to his care. He is handy around the house ( in case anything should arise) and he was very friendly and relaxed with Lexi. He took her for golf cart rides, walks in the neighborhood, played fetch with toys, and drove her to the dog park multiple times. She loved all the extra fun and TLC, and we could see from the daily pictures he sent that she was totally happy hanging out with her new friend while we were gone. Jon left our home clean and tidy, and he even vacuumed and washed his sheets before we returned! He is very responsible, kind and easy going. We are so happy to have found him and will gladly welcome him back for another dog and house sit when needed! Highly recommend Jon to anyone wanting to feel a great sense of peace of mind while leaving their home and pets! Thanks, Jon!
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!
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 September 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 September 2026, there are 512 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Indian Wells. On Rover:
- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% 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.
