“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.”
“Edith is a SUPER responsible person and neat. Our pets received great care, and she was very respectful of our home. Easy to engage with as well. We now plan to do more outings. Very Happy Client, -J”
“As always Tim has done a wonderful job with Dunkin. Unfortunately, he will be leaving the area soon and I won't be able to use him anymore. If he ever comes back, I will definitely be using him again.”
About: I've been a pet owner my entire life. From being raised on a dairy farm, to owning a small hobby farm, dogs, cats, chickens, goats, and horses have all been a huge part of my life. Transitioning to a "snowbird," lifestyle, I have more time to spend loving on my own Frenchies and other people's pets as well! I have a lot of experience with dogs that need special attention to diet, allergies, specific schedules etc. Would love to meet you and care for your animals treating them as if they were my own! I'm retired and have a flexible schedule. I'm active with several hobbies but also available most days unless otherwise noted. I exercise a lot so love to walk and play with pets as much as possible. I prefer to care for pets in your own home, keeping it simple for you and your dog to be comfortable in their own environment.
“An absolute godsend - at the last minute we needed a pet sitter in our house and she said yes! The minute she walked in our normally growling grumpy little girl Doxie rolled over and let her rub her belly and we knew we could go to our event with no worries. When Andrea left, that same grumpy little dog followed her, barking and wagging her tail and offering her toy. Both dogs loved her so much. We are very happy and can’t wait to have her back.”
“Joe was great! My dog took to him very quickly at the meet and greet but after a last minute change of plans to bring her, he was able to pivot and care for my cats instead. I really appreciated his flexibility and when I returned I realized he was also wonderful w/ cats! I didn’t get any cattitude from them at all. I received pics and updates regularly and came home to a clean happy house. I’d use him again in a heartbeat.”
“Yaneth was so great with our pup. She sat with our anxious boy for a night out while we were visiting the Coachella valley for the weekend. She sent us a sweet pic and we returned to a happy, sleepy dog. :)”
“Christian is AMAZING. Very experienced, calm energy, and knowledgeable about an array of animals. Great with our 5yo Yorkie & our 10yo Shepard/Beagle mix. One of them is super cuddly, the other one needs space and time to warm up & has some resource guarding issues. He handled both magnificently even though he was in a hotel room with them. He will absolutely be our go to sitter when we travel back to Palm Springs!!”
“David is super sweet and great with dogs. He was very accommodating which we appreciated as we were worried about one of our dogs’ health but felt safe with David there. We loved the pics he sent us of him playing with the dogs and then them all passed out with him on the couch!”
About: I absolutely love animals, not just my own. But all, & turned it into my job! Being around animals is a complete joy in my life. I’m a 20 year old with a part time job. I take pride into my jobs because not only is it my job, but I enjoy my jobs & they’re apart of my routine. I have a dog of my own. I got him when he was 2 months old and now he is 5 years old. I make sure he has everything he needs; food, water, extra like toys, sweaters when it’s cold, etc. I wake up with him & go to bed with him. I trained him everything he knows. My boy is my LIFE!
“Farrah is amazing! She took such great care of Percy while we were away—super responsible, kind, and clearly loves animals. She kept us updated with cute pics and made sure everything ran smoothly. We came home to happy Percy and a tidy house. Couldn’t ask for a better sitter. Highly recommend! 🐾💛”
“This is our 2nd time using Colton for our fur babies. We have 2 small seniors and on large adult dog and he does a great job of accommodating their needs. & He follows directions to make sure medications and other request are done correctly. I Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a trustworthy sitter!”
About: I have had dogs and taken care of dogs since I was a kid. I love all creatures and will pamper your pup! I know how important it is for dogs to feel safe and cared for while their owners are away and will give your dog all the love and attention it needs! I have a very flexible schedule which allows me plenty of time to spend taking care of your pet. When I do work, it's only for a few hours at a time, so I can stick with your dog's routine for eating and walking and such. I have a fenced yard with a bit of grass and one small senior dog who gets along with dogs and cats. I don't mind dogs on the couch and we have a cute park down the road for walks and outside play time.
“What a great lover of the Animal Kingdom with intelligence and the perfect touch to be cared and trusted taking her responsibilities as part of her life, you can’t go wrong with a person of this value”

FAQs for House Sitting - Macomber Palms
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 464 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Macomber Palms. 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 Macomber Palms 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 Macomber Palms 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 Macomber Palms 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 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.
