“Elaine was great! She was very responsive and shared pics of our pup throughout her stay. Our pup was very happy when we got home and I could tell she took very good care of her while we were away! Would definitely use her again.”
“Repeat customer and will continue to be! Tony is incredible in taking care of our dog and home - he’s in constant communication, providing updates and photos, and with Tony, we always know we are in great hands. He’s caring, kind, compassionate, and we appreciate him so much for all he does for our family!”
“Ciera was great! She communicated well and took wonderful care of my two dogs. It’s always nice to have someone who can step in and manage the pups when needed and I wouldn’t hesitate to use Ciera again.”
“Kevin was great with our two Great Danes. Our two giant dogs get anxious without their daddies and Kevin understood that right away. He observed their behavior and adapted his care to their personalities and needs. We highly recommend Kevin and we would definitely hire him again.”
“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”
“Ashurina was amazing with my little guy, she spent the night with him, took him for walks, kept me updated throughout the day. She was very friendly and punctual. I will not hesitate to recommend her to my friends and family. Thank once again for being a great pet sitter. It is much appreciated”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities for over 6 years. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to feed, walk, play with, and check in on their pets while they’re away. I’m patient, responsible, and love making pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I also have experience with energetic dogs and keeping pets on their regular routines. I have a flexible schedule and make pet care a priority in my daily routine. I’m available for check-ins, walks, feeding, playtime, and overnight care depending on your pet’s needs. I always make sure pets get plenty of attention, exercise, and care while their owners are away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I carefully follow feeding schedules, medication instructions, and any routines your pet is used to. I make sure pets feel safe, loved, and stress-free in their own environment while keeping owners updated with messages and photos.
“We were looking for an in-home pet sitter for our 11 year old golden retriever. A friend recommended Rover. We were a bit anxious to leave our sweet girl with someone we did not know. But our fears were quickly alleviated when we connected with Renee O. On the Rover app. Renee came to our home for a meet and greet. She was so kind and friendly and answered all our questions. It was clear she was an animal lover and she and our golden were instant friends. Renee arrived on time the day of our departure. We loved the pictures she sent us so we could see how Gracie was doing. Our dog takes medication twice daily. Renee made sure Gracie received her medication on time while we were away. I highly recommend the services of Rover. And we specifically recommend Renee O. She’s amazing! We will definitely request her for future pet sitting needs. Marc and Diana Morgan”
About: GROWING UP, MY MOM ONLY ALLOWED US TO HAVE CATS AS PETS. WHEN I WAS 20-YEARS OLD, I ADOPTED MY FIRST PUPPY FROM THE LONG ISLAND, NEW YORK ANIMAL SHELTER. HE WAS AN AKITA/GERMAN SHEPPARD MIX & WE HAD HIM FOR 17-YEARS UNTIL WE HAD TO PUT HIM TO SLEEP 😞. I ADOPTED 4 OTHER PUPPIES AFTER THAT. I EMJOY THE COMPANY OF PETS MORE THEN I ENJOY THE COMPANY OF PEOPLE LOL 😂. PETS ARE MORE LOYAL. I KNOW THAT WE ALL TREAT OUR PETS LIKE OUR CHILDREN, SO WE SHOULD SPARE NO EXPENSE WHEN IT COMES TO PET SITTING/BOARDING. I AM CURRENTLY UNEMPLOYED, SO MY SCHEDULE IS COMPLETELY OPEN. ALSO, MY PROFESSION IS WORKING AS EXECUTIVE ASSISTANT, SO I GET TO WORK REMOTELY. I CAN PROVIDE THE BEST CARE & ATTENTION ACCORDING TO MY SCHEDULE. OUR PROPERTY HAS AN EAST & WEST LAWN AREA THAT IS FENCED IN & SAFE. WE HAVE 3 VERY FRIENDLY & LOVABLE DOGS (6-YEAR OLD WHITE GERMAN SHEPPARD, 13-YEAR OLD COTTON DETULIA & 6-MONTH OLD BOXER). SAFETY & TRUST IS ALWAYS THE MOST IMPORTANT ASPECT OF PET SITTING/BOARDING. MAKING SURE THAT BOTH HUMAN & PET ARE HAPPY & GET ALONG.
About: I am a reliable and compassionate dog sitter with a lifelong love of animals. I grew up on a farm in Kentucky, where I was surrounded by a variety of animals and learned early on the importance of attentive care. From feeding, grooming, playing, and bonding, caring for animals has always been a natural part of my life. Today, I bring that same sense of responsibility and genuine affection to every dog and cat I care for. Whether your pet needs a calm, reassuring presence or an energetic companion for walks and playtime, I provide a safe, nurturing environment. I am semi-retired and currently working self-employed part-time at home. I have a flexible schedule that can meet your pet sitting needs. I have availability on weekdays and weekends. As a renter, I do not have pets in my home because they are not allowed. I get to enjoy the relationships with other people's dogs and cats.
About: My life has been rewarded through a menagerie of animals and detailed care, ranging from dogs, cats, birds, fish, rodents. A complete joy to be offered and shared. I can easily dedicate my days for any level of care, ranging from walks, playtime, feedings or long or short overnight stays. Adaptable and flexible. With my watchful and caring eye, your pet will receive a full companionship and bonding treatment from my enthusiastic service. I'm dedicated to all animals.
“It's so difficult when you have a new pup in the house: the dog is still getting used to new surroundings and can easily become fearful when the new "hooman" is away for longer than usual. Matthew stepped in for me and Buddy felt immediately comfortable with him. I returned to no separation issues at all. Matthew went above and beyond while I was away. He is very calm and that rubbed off on Buddy. My Buddy just LOVES Matthew!”
“Thank you Jon for taking great care of my dog and my home while I was away! From the first meet and greet to learning about my dog’s routine and schedule to sending daily photo updates, Jon showed that he’s treating my dog like his own with care.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - North Palm Springs
I had a work trip that needed a dog sitter for a few overnights. Mia, came early the day I left for the airport and stayed with my Pups for the duration of my trip. She walked them daily and sent updated pictures. I appreciate her willingness to keep my babies calm and on their normal routine. I highly recommend Mia for your dog sitter needs.
Mia is the BEST. I've never used Rover and was nervous allowing someone into my home that I didn't know. Mia came by for a drop in visit before I left town and she gave me the best vibes. She sent pictures and kept in great contact with me while I was away. I will definitely be using her again to watch my dog in the near future!
April was a fantastic dog and cat sitter to our four pets and did a great job looking after our house and resident houseplants when we were away for a week and took in our mail and packages. She gave my dog Lady her heart medication as well. She is also very responsive! I would definitely seek out April again for future trips and would recommend her to others!

FAQs for House Sitting - North Palm Springs
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 650 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across North Palm Springs. 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 North Palm Springs 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 North Palm Springs 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 North Palm Springs 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 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.
