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.

About: I’m a certified personal trainer with a lifelong love for animals. Whether I’m working or filling my days with something I truly enjoy, providing active, attentive care for your pets is a top priority. At home, I share my space with my dogs and cat, so I’m completely used to managing a multi-pet household. I love keeping animals mentally and physically stimulated, whether that’s playing fetch, working on training, or giving cats some quality, calming attention. My availability can vary from week to week, but I am fully dedicated and communicative with every client to make sure my schedule matches your pet's needs. Please reach out to check specific dates and times! At home, I have a spacious backyard and a multi-pet household with dogs and a cat. I regularly spend time playing, training, and caring for them in a secure environment. Whether I'm caring for pets at your place or mine, I ensure a safe, structured, and comfortable space tailored to their needs.

About: Hi, I’m Brianna! I’m new to professional pet sitting and dog walking but I’m an animal lover and have been caring for animals my whole life. I’ve always had pets of my own and have cared for lots of pets belonging to my family and friends such as dogs, cats, and birds. Because of this, I understand that every pet has different needs, routines, and personalities, but they all deserve the same love, patience, and care. I’m responsible, reliable, and truly love getting to know each pet and making them feel safe and comfortable. I’m currently a business college student and take all of my classes online, which gives me a very flexible schedule. This allows me to have plenty of time throughout the day to care for pets, whether that means going on walks, making drop-in visits, or spending quality time with them. I genuinely enjoy being around animals, so I’m excited to make pet care a meaningful part of my routine. I provide loving, attentive care based on each dog’s individual needs and routine. For doggy day care, I will provide plenty of playtime, attention, bathroom breaks, and a safe, comfortable environment. For dog walking, I make sure dogs get a safe and enjoyable walk suited to their energy level. During drop-in visits, I provide fresh food and water, bathroom breaks, playtime, and plenty of love and attention. I always follow the parent’s instructions and treat every dog like my own.

About: I have grown up with animals my whole life. I am an animal lover and love to meet little friends. I have always been around both dogs and cats and know how hard it can be to leave them when going on trips, working, etc. I tend to be the person to babysit or drop in on friends and family’s pets when they’re away. I work Monday-Friday 8:00AM-5:00PM. My evenings are free after work. Weekend days I am available most of the day when I am scheduled to care for pets. I can feed, bath, walk, and clean up after dogs and cats. I am open to cleaning a litter box and any accidents that may happen in a home.

She learned their individual routines quickly and efficiently and made them feel so comfortable. She was the sweetest and provided us with multiple updates and photos a day ♥️!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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!

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. 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: Lover of all animals. 20 years experience with our own dogs and others both HUGE and Small. Recently said goodbye to our old boy (a Large Great Weimar) and looking to spend some time with new doggy friends until we get our next. Extensive history with senior dogs and all of the care that goes along with that (assisted bathroom walks, pill schedules, dog bed changing, pee pads, etc), especially patience and love. Also happy with long walks or hikes for the adventurous tail waggers out there! My husband works from home full time, and I currently am available to give my full attention to our pet friends. So walks and attention at any time are not a problem. We have a large fenced in yard with additional barriers that can be added if needed. Lots of grass and play areas for fetch available. We also live in a gated golf community, with many paths and trails for any length of walks and play.

About: With over 11 years of hands-on cat care experience, I bring a depth of understanding that goes far beyond basic sitting. My background includes working with animal shelters, caring for energetic kittens, supporting senior cats with special routines, and raising my own three cats, each with their own unique needs and personalities. This range has taught me how to read feline behavior, adapt quickly, and provide calm, confident care in any situation. I’m especially attentive to routine, cleanliness, and emotional comfort. Whether a cat needs gentle patience, playful engagement, or quiet companionship, I tailor my care to what helps them feel safest and most at ease. I treat every cat as an individual—not a checklist—and my goal is always for pet parents to feel complete peace of mind knowing their cat is in experienced, compassionate hands. I’m a full-time pet sitter, which means your cats receive my full attention—not rushed visits squeezed around another job. My flexible schedule allows me to spend quality time with your pets, closely monitor their needs, and adjust care as needed to keep them comfortable and stress-free. I strive to maintain a peaceful, secure environment in your home so your pets feel comfortable and stress-free. From following routines to keeping your space tidy and secure, safety and trust are always my top priorities.

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.

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Indian Wells

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Indian Wells on Rover is $27.75 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of August 2026, there are 718 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Indian Wells. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Indian Wells stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.

The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.

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.

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
  • 99% 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.

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.
