“Kimberly was with our 1 year old golden retriever rescue! She was flexible with a meet and greet in a tight window and was very understanding and helpful to first-time rover users! She followed all requests/instructions and even made some on-the-fly adjustments when our pup was scared of trash cans during an anticipated long walk. We definitely recommend her care!”

“We were very pleased with David’s care of our two cats. He was consistent in the time of his visits, and upbeat in his reports. They aren’t social with strangers, but David was still able to get daily photos of them and help us feel they were doing just fine. Would happily recommend, and be a repeat customer.”

About: I've always had a love and deep respect for all animals. Can’t remember a time when I haven’t had at least 1 dog in my life, until recently when my last dog, Bella, passed at 18yo. From Rottweilers, German Shepherds, to beloved mutts. I have volunteered at animal shelters, therapeutic horse riding academies, and wildlife watch programs. I’ve been a horse woman since my teens, although now retired from riding. Your fur-family will be well cared for, safe, and protected in my home. Your care instructions will be followed and your furry friends will enjoy their stay and look forward to their next visit to Happy Tails. I am retired so have the time available for activities and extra care. I am comfortable giving either oral or inter-muscular injectable medications. Home is peaceful and calm. Hope to meet you. I am retired so have plently of time for exercise, dog parks, games in the back yard, brushing, and luv. Lots of luv. We'll probably sneak a nap in too. I have a backyard fenced with cinder blocks. There's a locked gate, no children, so no chance of an accidental open gate. The backyard is clean and poop is cleaned up right away.

About: I am a new sitter, dog walker on Rover and very motivated to provide excellent services to pet families. I am retired and have flexibility to adjust my hours to fit your needs between 8am to 6pm. I have worked the last 25 years working in the medical field. Part of my job was providing pet therapy visits to hospice patients both in the private home and assisted living facilities. My Corgi named Pepe and I did extensive dog training and became certified through Love on a Leash organization. I have a deep compassion especially for senior animals that have mobility issues. I can provide a calm, caring support while sitting with animals and assisting with their mobility taking easier walks. I am currently retired and am very flexible with my weekly schedule. I am available as a one-time sitter visit or a repeated weekly, if preferred. I was only able to check the 11am -3pm box but I can be available between 9am to 6pm am for a drop in visit for a dog walk and can provide a 4–6-hour as a day time sitter. if you needed. I don't do overnights, or nighttime dog walks or drop in visits. I wanted to clarify here to make it easier. It's my goal to try my best to meet your schedule needs. I understand the importance of making sure an animal feels comfortable with me and allowing it to approach me. I will always use a leash when walking a pet outside for their safety. I currently have a disabled, indoor cat. I make sure that her litter box is scooped daily and that her needs are a priority. I make sure she has fresh water and food, treats daily. It's always important to know from the pet owner what treats they prefer for their pets or food sensitive issues.

“Mona was an angel. We have an 18-year-old almost fully blind dog who is never left alone and we were terrified about leaving him with someone we didn’t know.. Mona came to our hotel and spent three days taking care of Ziggy while we were out having fun and relaxing. From the moment she walked in the room we knew she’d be a great fit.. She’s very responsible, kind, caring and attentive.. She took pictures and made sure to keep in contact with us throughout the day at our request. When it came time OK for her to leave Ziggy tried to follow her out!!! we will definitely be using her again and I highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for a pet sitter. Mona, we thank you so very much. You’re amazing.!”

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: With seven years of hands-on pet care, I bring more than just love for animals. I bring experience you can trust. Your pet gets one-on-one attention, daily updates, and a calm, consistent routine that keeps stress low while you're away. I’m currently employed Sunday through Thursday as a Sales Consultant at WDC. I work 9am-6pm. I would be happy to check on your pets before and after my work day. I keep routines consistent so your pet feels secure while you're away. That means feeding, walks, playtime, and meds on their normal schedule, plus plenty of companionship. I send daily photo/text updates, bring in mail, water plants, and keep things tidy if needed.

About: Hi!, my name is Justin and I've been taking care of animals of all shapes and sizes since I can remember, as such I'm very excited to get to work with and for all our four-legged friends! As mentioned above my core values include being energetic, adaptable and patient, and through these values you and your pet(s) can expect discreet professional level service at anytime you need me. Hope to meet you soon! - Justin Despite currently job-hunting at this time, my schedule is completely wide open for all your petcare and play needs, and even after when I find a position I'll be sure to keep your pets a priority in my schedule. I currently live with my sisters' 2 Labradoodles, and as such each day it's my duty to make sure they're let outside between 7:30-8am, given a Greenie dog brush treat when they return, have a clean, full water dish with clean filters, are generally behaved and not causing damage to anything (rip Birkenstocks, you'll be missed), played with, are fed between 5-7pm, and let outside throughout the day until last call at 10pm. Regarding house sitting, my bounds all depend on the dog(s) themselves as well as your personal preferences. If they have seperation anxiety, need attention 24/7 due to medical reasons or just want someone to play with, then I have no issue staying all days and/or nights for them, but if they need only to be checked on routinely then I would be absent from the home so as to value your privacy. At the time of writing this I have no scheduling issues with staying overnight during house sitting calls, but if you only need check-ins then I can check in as many times as necessary.

Kimberly was wonderful with our cats and with us on this booking. She sent videos of the cats purring, she brought in packages; and she went above and beyond when there was a bit of water incursion from heavy rains. We felt very good about her care for them and would recommend her to others. Thanks, Kimberly!

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Indian Wells

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Indian Wells is $28 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $20 and $59 per visit. On Rover, 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 November 2026, there are 706 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Indian Wells. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.

Before booking, confirm:

  • the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
  • the care instructions the sitter should follow;
  • which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
  • how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.

Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.

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:

  • 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 94% 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.

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 Meet & Greet.

sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
