“Wonderful experience with Sophia! I’m new to the area and she put me at ease with her experience. She was also really flexible when my dates changed which was really appreciated. I will rebook again!”
About: Hi, I am Savannah! While I am new to the Rover community, I am not new to caring for pets. I have cared for dogs and cats since childhood, and I am always the first person friends and family trust to look after their pets. Whether it is a walk or a drop-in, rest assured your pet is in fabulous hands. Pet care fits well into my routine as a college student. Monday–Thursday, I am in class from 2-3:10 in Indio. (Please account for travel time when booking around those hours.) Instructions on how to best care for your pet(s) are always appreciated as every pet is unique and has their own routine I can follow!
About: I’ve always loved animals my whole life and grew up taking care of cats and dogs. I’ve pet sat for family and friends many a times. I’m very good a training puppies as well as caring for older pets. These last couple of years i’ve pet sat a lot more and have gained a good amount of experience! 🤍 I’m currently working part-time as well as being a full time college student but I will have plenty of time to drop in and make sure your pets are doing well! I can work around my work and school schedule to drop in before and after if need be. I want to make sure your pets feel comfortable and safe in their own home so i’ll be sure to stay with their normal routine. I’m very patient and equipped to handle different medication or special routines. I understand that it can be scary leaving your pets in someone else’s hands but I want to reassure you that you can count on me to make sure that your pets are being cared for properly. I respect your home and their space and will keep you updated with how your pets are doing after each visit. I want your mind to be at ease while you’re away and your pets to be safe and happy!
“Katie is a reliable and caring sitter. Our fur ball very much enjoys time with her. In fact, he’s always telling how I should do things more like she does. We look forward to our next booking as we know he’s in good hands with her.”
“Jessica was amazing. My dog can be reactive and intimidating. But, Jessica made quick friends with her. Jessica is communicative, cares deeply for the creatures she cares for and does exactly what she agrees to do. I appreciate her and will definitely ask her to care for my fur babies next time they need a sitter.”
About: I currently own 1 cat. I have taken care of 6+ dogs and 2+ cats in my life. I have experience administering eye and oral medicine to both dogs and cats. I treat all animals like the angels that they are! I work for myself so my schedule is very flexible. I am available from Monday to Sunday even on holidays. I go on daily strolls with my cat and occasionally with my relatives dogs. I love all animals no matter their needs and I treat them with all the love and care I have. The same way I would want my pets to be treated is the way I will care for your pets. I can offer long leisurely walks and fun quality time so that your pet has the best time ever!
“Such a relief finding Jessica! My husband and I recently moved to the Valley and have been looking to find reliable options when we go out of town to babysit our 2 cute young cats. We don’t have human babies so these are truly our babies! I immediately felt comfortable with Jessica and I could tell our girls were comfortable too. Our home was left tidy and I’m sure Mavis and Margaux appreciated having a loving sitter while we were gone. Looking forward to booking again ?”
About: My favorite approach is with open arms through pure interest, curiosity, & patience to make friends with & show they are safe & sound with me. Right now i’m very available to a flexible daily & weekly schedule on the fly & can work with same day changes if need be. Nothing is more important than the safety of our furry friends, i’ve had a lot of experience working with crating, housing or backyard work with animals.
About: I’ve cared for all types of pets—cats, dogs, birds, fish, and even a chameleon! I love animals and currently own multiple pets, giving me hands-on experience with different personalities and needs. I provide attentive, reliable care for both young and senior animals. I can provide morning care, and depending on your needs, afternoon, late-night, or overnight stays. I’m flexible and prioritize keeping pets comfortable and on their routine! I provide a safe, clean, and calm environment for pets, whether in my home or yours. I care for cats, dogs, fish, and even a chameleon, following all instructions and supervising play to ensure every pet feels comfortable, loved, and secure. Fun fact! I also volunteer once or twice a week at pet smart with the cats and feed them and take care of them for an hour!
“Amazing care. I am so glad I found Edith. I felt at ease knowing my cat was in good hands. She sent photos every day of my cat looking happier with her than me lol. Best caretaker for pets ever. I highly recommend Edith.”
“Susan provided loving and attentive care for my three cats while I went to see my elderly parents. Not haven't been away from them since March of 2020, I was nervous to leave them. House sitting them was the right call for me. Right away I felt that Susan was on top of their care, and I relaxed. Different ages and different diets, each with their own quirks. She mastered them. Her communication each day was top notch. I appreciated the pictures. I'll definitely call on her again when I have to leave town.”
About: I care about the quality and attention that I give when taking care of pets. I used to walk 8 pugs at a time. I was known as the pug walker. I am a lecturer in communication studies and believe in clear and open communication with my clients. I promise to treat your pets as if they were my own. Kindness and compassion are a big part of my philosophy of life. I will give your pet love and my undivided attention when I care for them. I am an animal lover and love cats and dogs equally. I have always had both cats and dogs but currently do not have any pets. I look forward to hearing from you and hope that you can sense that I am a great petsitter. I am currently working part time and have a great deal of flexibility for taking extra special care of your fur babies. I love spending time with all kinds of animals. I am respectful of space and treat anyone's home with care and utmost respect. I am willing to work together to create an excellent experience for everyone involved.
About: I’ve have experience taking care of strays and housesitting for family and I always make sure when I have to feed them, what I have to look out for, what I have to do while I’m in their home and I’m very responsible and respectful. I have school during 8 am and 4:30 pm. So from 5:00 till 7pm on weekdays is when I can be fit in my schedule. Now on weekends, I'm free all day Sunday and Saturday. I care for my cats safety inside cause my dogs most stay outside but I do clean them when they are really dirty and when it's really hot weather nor cold weather outside I will bring them inside.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - La Quinta
Sophia is wonderful - this was the second time we hired her to drop in and take care of our kitties. Just like last time, she did a great job taking care of their food/water/litter needs, but also, hanging out with them and giving them some love. Her daily reports and pictures are awesome. On top of that, she also went above and beyond, by bringing in packages, the trash can etc., and she also let us know about an issue with our irrigation system which we were able to get taken care of before it caused any major problems. Bottom line - Sophia is an awesome sitter, who gives us great peace of mind when we travel. We are happy to recommend her, and we will be using her next time.
Sophia did a fantastic job with our pets. This was at first a last minute decision because of our puppy and Sophia saved the day. She is attentive to requests and made sure our pets were extremely happy every day. We will for sure book again and highly recommend.

The average cost of Cat Sitting in La Quinta is $26 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $15 and $48 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 82 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across La Quinta. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
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.
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.

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.
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.
