“James is a fantastic, prompt and effective sitter! We have an 18 year old blind & deaf cat who requires a lot of affection and attention since he’s a little lost in space these days. James gave Tippy a routine every morning & evening and he was always on time & on top of everything we asked for which gave us so much peace of mind. We haven’t been able to travel since Tips needs more care but now that we found James we can and are so grateful. Thanks so much, James; we will be in touch about future trips. Tippy misses you already!! 😹”

“Christopher did a wonderful job taking care of my dog while I was out of town for the weekend. He bonded quickly with my dog, and built a trusted relationship with him. Christopher was also a conscientious guest and left our house in good condition. I enthusiastically recommend him.”

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: I have 1 cat and 2 dogs. With the pups I take them on daily walks and cooking healthy meals for them! My cat is more independent but I make sure her fur and nails are tidy ! I’m currently working part time on the weekends, so during the week I’m available all day whatever time. I like to stay busy and pet care will be a worth while way to spend my time I would adhere to the client’s rules and requests for their home and pets. I want to make this process as seamless and trusting as possible
“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!”

I offer daily walks, drop-in visits, and over night stays. I'm comfortable with all sizes, big or small, dogs and cats. I treat every pet I care for like one of my own—with patience, love, and lots of attention. Let me know how I can help you and your furry family feel at ease while you're away!

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.
“Tony was prompt, communicative and took great care of Pickles. It’s clear he cared for her like she was her own, playing with her, snuggling and taking her on two walks to make sure she was taken care of after dinner.”

About: I am very flexible and easy to communicate with. I am schedule oriented, my first walk of the day is around 8 am, second walk (depending on age and breed) 11-12pm, and the following walk no later than 3/4 hours of the previous walk. I am capable of providing a routine based schedule for eating and treat if desired as well. I feel as though I am best fit for this position because of my patience, dedication and love for dogs. I myself have grown up with 4 dogs, which I have had the opportunity to take care of myself. I look forward to further demonstrating why I am the right doggy daycare candidate! I am currently working on call for a hospital, giving me much free time and flexibility. I am open to talking about your schedule needs. I take care of cats and dogs. I treat my animals like they are my children. Any animal I encounter receives the best care and love as if they were my own.
“Lydia is awesome. Super reliable and accommodating. Just helped me out with only one-day notice. And my cats like her, which is saying a lot. I’ve hired Lydia multiple times and will continue to so.”

“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!”

“Ashurina helped me out of a jam, was needing to head out of town last min. She came by the same day I called her to meet with myself and my 2 girls (fur baby cats). She checked in and updated me, sent pictures and had my 2 cats engaged during her drop in. Thank you so much.”
“Nina was amazing as a drop in sitter for my difficult kitty. She was able to get close enough to give Sonny some love while i was away, feed her, and Nina even watered my garden! Highly recommend, especially if you are hesitant about a stranger coming in while you are out. Nina is trustworthy and awesome!”

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.
“We had set up a 30 minute meet and greet. He arrived on time.we sat and chatted. Romeo got up On the couch and laid beside him. He liked Kevin’s arm. We took a stroll in our community dog park. I think he was surprised by the degree of Romeo’s fear aggression . There were three little dogs that showed up with their owner off leash and were not obeying commands. We simply held on and walk out of the park.”

About: I treat every dog like my own and love building a bond with them. My work schedule allows me to spend a lot of time with each dog for lots of cuddles and playtime. I’m calm, reliable, and make sure your pup feels safe and cared for. I’m comfortable with multiple dogs as well as seniors and puppies. I have a part‑time, self‑paced work schedule, which makes pet sitting a perfect fit. I’m around often, and I enjoy spending that extra time bonding with dogs and keeping them comfortable. I keep things simple: affection, playtime, walks, and being present with your dog so they feel comfortable and cared for while their parents are away.
About: Over the years, friends and family have entrusted me with the care of their pets. I have owned dogs and cats throughout my life and have been in the animal medical field for the last 6 years. As a pet owner I understand the uneasy feeling of having to leave your fur babies in the care of someone else in a new environment due to work, travel, or unforeseen events. I want my clients to know I provide the highest degree of professionalism but also provide home town care for their pets as if they were my own. I have the experience in making animals feel comfortable and secure, even when their parents are away! I work with dogs and cats 8 hours a day five days a week. It has been a routine for the last 6 years. I am offering pet sitting, day visits, and dog walking. I am off work at 5:00pm leaving my evening free to spend time with my own pets and any guests we have! I have two felines (male and female) that keep to themselves but are friendly when approached. In addition, I have one silly and loving female chocolate Labrador Retriever and one exuberant (social butterfly) female Doberman Pinscher. I have a large fenced yard, artificial grass area, large plastic pool (for dogs that enjoy water), and lots of toys to engage with your fur babies. I’m happy to send pictures and updates during the duration of the stay, if requested. I have a guest bedroom and large kennel available. If medication administration is needed and/or special diets are needed during the visit we can discuss specifics when you contact me. I’m also happy to house sit in your home if your animals are more comfortable in their environment. I hope to meet you and your precious fur babies soon, let us make amazing memories!
About: I’ve worked with all types of pets, small and big, I 'm compassionate about animals and the unconditional love they bring to our lives. 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. I'm here to provide a service tailored to their needs.
About: After spending years of my life growing up on a farm with 7 family dogs of all shapes and sizes, heards of horses & cows, alpacas, birds, cats and even reptiles, looking after animals has become second nature to me. Now, even though I've relocated to the desert and own no pets of my own, dogs still hold a special place in my heart. I've been providing pet care professionally for 8 years and been working with Rover for about 4 years now and have loved every second of it. While in my care, your pets will recieve the utmost attention. I guarantee that the entirety of the time that your dog is under my care their day will be filled with walks, fetch, home made healthy dog treats and fun with friendly company. I work from home doing online marketing which allows me to provide nearly 24 hour care and companionship. So you'll never have to worry about your pets feeling abandoned or lonely while you're on your trip. I love to know as much as possible about the daily life and schedule of your animals so I can help make them feel as if you've never even left. My flexible job also gives me the ability to work with senior pets or pets that are on medication / feeding / bathroom schedules who need someone to be more attentive to their needs throughout the day. I'm also certified in Canine First Aid so in case of emergency I will be able to stay calm and collected and give your dog the care and comfort it needs until a solution is found. I'm happy to provide walks, play time and even trips to the dog park if thats something you'd like for your pet. My goal is to make sure they feel just as loved and cared for by me as they do when you're home with them. I'll also gladly bring in mail for you, water any plants that might need maintenance, and keep your home clean with things just how you left them. Bathing & grooming are also available as well! Note for outcall house sitting: While my rate listed is per pet, I normally have a two pet minimum for outcall house sitting to ensure I'm compensated enough for travel effort and expense so single pet house sits will have a higher rate to meet my minimum requirement. Discounted rates are available for extended stays and stays with higher numbers of animals. Thanks! I have been doing petcare on the side as supplemental means while still doing marketing from home so I am available and flexible to look after animals any day of the week:) My home is a safe, enclosed, fully air conditioned environment for dogs to feel comfortable and taken care of in. There’s plenty of grassy areas for us to go out on walks and potty breaks when need be!

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Palm Springs
James was really good. He let Biscuit take her time, and she finally came out and said hi to him. And he took care of all of the basics great, her food her water, her litter and went above and beyond with a few extra things I didn't even ask for. I will definitely ask James to help Biscuit and I again. He is very consistent, thorough, reliable and kind.

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!

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.

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 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.
