“Just had a meet and greet with James. Really respectful and professional! He took the time to listen to our concerns and started to introduce himself to our dog Mae. I couldn’t have been more impressed and glad I contacted his for our first experience with Rover”
“Katherine was great. She filled a last minute need for us over the holiday weekend. She asked a lot of questions - which was great - to make sure we were on the same page. I would definitely hire her again.”
“Christopher is the BEST! Our Gulliver was very stressed upon arriving in Palm Springs after a very long drive from Montana. Gulliver is a big boy,180 lb St Bernard, but Chris used his experience & knowledge of dogs to appropriately befriend our gentle giant within minutes. He gave us great peace of mind which allowed us to enjoy our day away & of course getting pictures is always a bonus! 100/10 recommend Chris!”
About: Hi, I’m Colton! I’ve been caring for dogs for over four years, and it’s truly a passion of mine. For the past three years, I work at a professional grooming salon, which has given me hands-on experience with dogs of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments. Whether it’s bath time, brushing, or just helping pets feel comfortable and safe, I’m confident in handling all kinds of personalities. Beyond grooming, I’ve spent years walking, feeding, and looking after dogs in both casual and structured settings. I understand how important it is to treat each pet like a member of the family—and that’s exactly what I do. Whether your dog loves long walks, belly rubs, or just a calm presence, I’m here to make sure they feel loved and well cared for. I’d love to meet your furry friend and help however I can! Available 7 days a week for pet sitting! Reliable, experienced, and ready to care for your doggo whenever you need. Flexible scheduling and loving care. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have years of hands-on experience and always pay close attention to each pet’s needs. I live in a pet friendly apartment complex with multiple dog runs, providing a safe space for play and relaxation. You can trust that your dog will be cared for in a clean, calm, and loving environment—just like part of the family.
About: Hi Pet Owners! I have a plethora of experience caring for dogs (and cats) of all ages and sizes, from the tiny toy breed, to the Great Dane. I grew up with dogs, worked in a veterinary clinic, and own my own fur babies. Through these experiences, I bring years of knowledge caring for pups. Most recently, I have been a pet sitter on the Rover app, caring for pets throughout the Palm Springs area. This has included boarding at my house, house sits, and lots of dog walks! Through my experience on Rover, I have learned how to manage all sorts of personalities, dietary restrictions, medication administrations, and every other special pet need imaginable! I'd be thrilled to help you and your pet out in the future. I work from home, so I'm here during the day to care for the animals. I'm available 7 days a week to care for pets. I have a fenced-in yard. I have 2 golden doodles of my own who are friendly and have experience meeting new friends and sharing their mom! I have crates and can separate pets if needed.
About: I have hands-on experience providing reliable, loving care for dogs and cats, including feeding, walking, administering basic care routines, and maintaining a safe, calm environment. I prioritize each pet’s comfort, routine, and emotional well-being, treating every animal as if they were my own. I’m attentive to behavior cues, patient with all temperaments, and committed to keeping pets happy, healthy, and stress-free while their owners are away. Pet care fits into my daily and weekly routine as a consistent responsibility that I plan around other commitments. On a daily basis, I incorporate feeding, walking, playtime, and check-ins into structured time blocks to ensure pets stay on their normal schedule. Weekly, I schedule pet sitting jobs in advance, allowing time for longer stays, exercise, and maintaining routines like grooming or medication if needed. I prioritize reliability and make sure each pet receives focused attention without rushing or overlap in care. I care for pets in their home by maintaining their normal routine in a familiar, low-stress environment. I follow the owner’s instructions closely for feeding, walks, playtime, medication, and bedtime routines. I make sure pets feel safe and comfortable by giving them consistent attention, affection, and supervision. I also keep their space clean, including litter boxes or outdoor areas, and ensure fresh water is always available. I respect the home by keeping it tidy and secure, and I provide updates so owners have peace of mind while they’re away.
“I knew our cats were in good hands with Molly all week long! We were away for a trip and she was reliable and communicative the whole time, I didn't need to worry about a thing. Plus our normally reserved cat walked right up to her for a nose boop when they initially met--a terrific match!”
“Sarah is amazing! She jumped right in with our puppy who is now 11 almost 12 weeks old. She took such precious care of Winnie. She mixed it up with him daily (Toys, Treats). Winnie also quickly took to Sarah and could tell she is definitely an animal lover. The thing we loved is that she picked up our routine and training this helped us stay consistent. Sarah also added personalize touches during and after her time. She took the time to write us a thank you note and left present for Winnie. We feel lucky to have met such a wonderful dog walker. Thank you Sarah!!”
“Nina is exactly what we were looking for! She's intuitive, gentle, patient, and genuinely interested in animals. We have a somewhat persnickety Basenji with some separation anxiety issues, and Nina did an excellent job sitting with her, establishing a relationship, and keeping her happy and at ease while we were away. We trust Nina with our "fur child" and will be calling her again, for sure.”

I will respect your home and space if I were to do drop-in visits/over night stays. Safety and comfort is important to me. I want to make sure your pet is comfortable with me.
About: I provide calm, attentive care for dogs and cats in a home where I only take pets from one household at a time. Your pets stay together and are never mixed with unfamiliar animals, creating a low-stress, comfortable environment. I work from home full-time, so your pet gets consistent attention throughout the day, along with regular walks, playtime, and a structured routine. With over 10 years of experience, I’m comfortable with puppies, senior pets, and administering medication. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, relaxed, and cared for like they’re at home. While I don’t have a private yard, I’m close to dog-friendly outdoor areas and take dogs out regularly for walks and fresh air. • One household at a time (no mixing with other pets) • Full-time supervision (I work from home) • Calm, clean home environment • Frequent photo updates so you always know how they’re doing Feel free to reach out with any questions, I’m happy to set up a quick meet & greet to make sure it’s the right fit for you and your pet 😊 I work from home and have a flexible schedule so I am available to give your pet all the love, attention and exercise they need throughout the day! I have a spacious, open plan 2 bedroom apartment and my complex has a dog park. It is also located in a very walkable neighborhood. When looking after them in your home I will be sure to follow any routines you usually would.
“Thank you so much for caring for Ginny these past 2 weeks! Knowing she was going to have her time with you was such a comfort during my long work days. Your extra effort and flexibility was so helpful and much appreciated. l'll definitely be sharing your contact with friends when they work in the valley. You're the best!”
“Kevin watched my cat for a week and did a superb job! The communication was constant, and he went above and beyond to ensure my cat was safe in the house on these hot summer days. He's a sitter I will definitely call again when I need services. Thanks Kevin !”
“Jon has been so helpful with my two French Bulldogs—checking in on them while I’m at work. He is trustworthy, very dog-friendly, kind, and professional. Whatever your specific needs are with your pets, Jon is just the type of person that is up to the task. He genuinely seems to care and will give your pets plenty of love and attention!”

Whether it was a shi tzu to a german shepard to a lab, to a horse, I'm a true animal lover. Additionally, I took care of a friend until the end, he got Long-Term Covid in 2019 and died in Feb 2024. I also helped in my mother's care who had muscular dystrophy and my father, who had dementia. I'm a semi-retired entertainment publicist who spent the last 18 years in Los Angeles. After being a part-time resident in PALM SPRINGS since 2008, I'm now a full-time resident that truly loves the desert and no remorse from leaving LA. When I do work, I work from my home office so I'm always around. Also, if you are looking for an extended stays, please reach out to me for discount on mid-long term stays. Mainly by preference, I have my own personal preferences but whatever the Pet Parents want something specific, like no pets on the furniture or bed. Preference for using their own dog bed.

Christopher was terrific with communication and daily updates while we were away and took the time to get to know our cat's quirky personalities. He clearly cares about the well being of all the pets he's entrusted to work with. Our two did so well with him and we won't hesitate to make him our regular sitter!
I knew our cats were in good hands with Molly all week long! We were away for a trip and she was reliable and communicative the whole time, I didn't need to worry about a thing. Plus our normally reserved cat walked right up to her for a nose boop when they initially met--a terrific match!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Palm Springs on Rover is $17.76 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Cat Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Cat Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

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 short introductory meeting between you, your cat, 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.

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 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.
