About: I love pets and I’ve taken care of dogs for friends and family, along with my own pup for 10 years. Im also experienced with senior dogs. I work from home full-time, which makes it easy for me to adapt my schedule to pet sit on your preferred schedule. I’m also very punctual and great at accommodating your needs! I can pet sit at your home, vacation home, hotel, or wherever you might need me. For house/pet sitting, I will send a daily update/photos at the minimum, but can send more depending on your preferences. I’m here to ensure your pup is safe and well taken care of while you’re away! Please note that I require confirmation of flea preventative treatment before pet-sitting. I have a flexible, work-from-home schedule and no kids which allows me to have a very adaptable schedule to pet sit. I’m up early and adjust walk schedules based on temperature in the desert. I can do drop-in or pet sitting at your home. I’m very clean and tidy and will take care of your pets as if they were my own!
“I have three large dogs — which is no small feat — and finding someone I trust with them is everything. Our sitter was absolutely incredible. She didn’t just watch them; she was fully engaged, spending more time playing with them than I usually get to myself. My dogs can be a handful, and she handled them with so much energy and love. I came home to three happy, tired pups, which says it all. Highly recommend her to anyone, especially those with big or high-energy dogs!”
About: I care for animals as if they are my own. I was raised around dogs my entire life and enjoy there company. I have been pet sitting since I was 14 and have enjoyed it every day! I am full open at the moment. I was recommended this app by my cousin and I am thrilled to give it a try. I work evening events typically for 4 hours. I on average work about 2-3 days out of the week. I would play with the pup and give them all the scratches that they could ask for. I make sure that the environment not only meets the parents standards but the pups as well.
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: Everyone thinks that they have the best dog.....and none of them are wrong. I'm definitely one of those people that prefers pets to humans, and I'd easily say my favorite pastime is rubbing a pups belly. I have grown up with dogs, and I come from a big dog person family. Our pets are definitely at the top in my family hierarchy. I just recently lost my two pups I’ve had since I was a teenager and I am overflowing with puppy love that I need to direct somewhere! I am so missing squishy doggo interactions! I work for myself and my schedule is up to me so I'm pretty flexible with time. I'm reliable, punctual, and diligent ! Looking forward to meeting your little munchkin! I work from home mostly and only ever leave for a quick errands or two. Usually I take the dogs with me when I can. I have three gates around my home and I’m in a gated community so my place is very secure. All doors are closed and windows are shut.
About: I have been taking care of dogs since I was 15. I help family and friends take care of their fur babies. I also have two little doggies of my own. I am a full time student and have a job during the weekdays Monday through Friday but always off by 6pm. I have plenty of time after work on the weekdays if needed for anything. I am free on the weekends to spend plenty of time with your animals. I am a reliable and trustworthy caregiver who treats every home and pet with respect and care. I prioritize safety, follow all instructions closely, and ensure animals feel comfortable, secure, and loved while you’re away.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - La Quinta
Sophia was fantastic for our Maple for drop-in visits! She took note of all of our requests and remembered them. Maple was always taken care of and happy when we got home. She even went above and beyond to bring in packages, ensure music was playing for our girl, and gave all of the sweet love to her too! We will gladly book her again.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in La Quinta is $28 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 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 October 2026, there are 647 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across La Quinta. 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 .
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in La Quinta. 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 .
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.
