“I can’t recommend Nina enough! She took such amazing care of my dog, Dobby, while my husband and I were out exploring Palm Springs. I usually feel a little anxious leaving Dobby with someone new because he’s very shy and scared around people—but Nina made me feel completely at ease. She went above and beyond—sending me tons of photos and videos throughout the day, taking Dobby on a long walk (which he absolutely loved), and even playing calming music to help ease his anxiety. No sitter has ever done that before, and it meant so much to me. You can truly tell Nina cares deeply for the dogs she watches. Knowing she has experience caring for dogs with past trauma also gave me so much peace of mind, since one of her own dogs is a rescue. Thank you, Nina, for being so patient, understanding, and kind—you’re the best! 💕🐾”
“Chris was fantastic and comes well equipped to exceed the expectations of our Wheaton Jack and myself. His communication was extremely on point and helpful. I would highly recommend him.”
“Love that Renee sends such great daily photos and videos. She gives our pups plenty of attention and TLC. She is also so great about keeping the house ship-shape. She is our go-to person. Recommend with no hesitation.”
“Elaine is SO WONDERFUL! I can’t recommend her enough. This was our first trip using Rover and we were very nervous about leaving our precious doggies under a stranger’s care, but when Elaine came for a meet & greet a few days before we left, it was clear she was no stranger… she was Auntie Elaine immediately! Roxy and Sadie were instant fans. Our chihuahua Maxine wasn’t as sure (chihuahuas, you know?), but after we left, Maxine decided she liked Auntie Elaine too. Elaine sent us photos and reports every day, which were a delight to read. We hadn’t ever been away from our babies for this long, so the updates were so helpful. Roxy, our senior dog, developed a balance issue (not anything related to Elaine, just senior dog stuff) and Elaine took her to our vet and got her checked out, updating us the whole time. (Roxy’s fine, just a little tilty) Definitely the right call to get her checked out! I can’t recommend Auntie Elaine highly enough. Three dogs and two humans agree! ?”
“Eric gets rave reviews from my husband and I for his petsitting magic. He did a fantastic job caring for our 25 pound terrier all day yesterday. From the moment our dog met Eric at our meet and greet, she was sold on him. He clearly has a great love for dogs and definitely “gets them.” As for my husband and I, we were also impressed with his responsiveness, dependability, desire to understand and provide for our dog’s needs, and the obvious caring and concern her showed her. We will definitely be using Eric’s exceptional petsitting services in the future!”
“Susan is by far the best pet/house sitter I’ve had. Communication was strong, her love for Monroe was real and sweet, and she took great care of the house. I will use her again ? There’s something about having comfort in knowing that an upstanding human is literally “sitting” in your place for all the things. Monroe gives her 4 paws up? ? and I wish there were 10 stars. Book her…before I do!”
“We were in PS for a long weekend and didn't want to leave our pups alone when we went out for the evening. Dennis was just terrific with the girls - they loved him and he's clearly a dog lover. We definitely plan to reach out again when we are next in PS.”
“Samantha was great with my pups! This was a last minute booking and she really came through. And when I got home, the whole house smelled fresh and she had even washed the sheets provided for her! Thank you so much Sam!”
“Mikey was everything we hoped for AND MORE! He was conscientious, caring and communicative through the whole experience, helping our nervousness about being first timers abate. He went above and beyond - leaving the house clean and even the linens washed. Our two dogs (10yo and 2yo) were both calm and anxiety free when we returned. A very, very big change from a kennel stay. We were very lucky to have found Mikey!!”
“Ilana took care of my mini zoo which is a large task She did is well. If she can handle my 3 dogs, 2 cats and a bearded dragon and not miss a beat, she can handle your babies. She took care of my place like it was her own. She even washed and dried the newly cleaned sheets and towels I left for her before she left my home . Thank you Ilana. I would like you to come back again”
About: I've grown up caring for dogs in my own home and for my siblings, from strong, active breeds to smaller companion dogs. That experience has made me attentive, reliable, and genuinely passionate about dog care. As an online college student, my schedule is very flexible. I can adjust to meet pets' needs for walks, playtime, feeding, or overnight care, making sure they always get attention and consistency. My home is very pet friendly. I have a large, fully fenced yard where dogs can safely play and explore. I also have a crate available for dogs who are used to one, and plenty of space for them to sleep comfortably, they can sleep in my own room with me, or if they prefer privacy, I have two guest rooms just for them. For exercise, I can take them on walks around our quiet, spacious neighborhood to ensure they get plenty of activity and fresh air.
“Silvana is sweet, trustworthy and kind hearted. My dogs sensed her kindness right away. They love her. Silvana was prompt on arrival and stayed the entire time in my home. She took care of my two German Shepherds like they were her own. I will definitley ask her again to help out in the future. Thank you Silvana.”
About: I love being active and going on walks, and it seems super fun to take some dogs along with me! I also love helping out! I would prefer mornings (8AM-11AM)ish! | am usually free every morning before I head to rehearsals for performances or classes that | teach in the area! I have two adorable dogs at home and we work hard to make sure they're safe inside and outside, and have no way to escape!
“This was the first time for both Bonnie and Niko to have someone watch over them and Ashley was amazing. Thank you for making our wedding day extra special by watching over Bonnie and Niko!”
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
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.
“Victoria is an outstanding pet caregiver! My tribe of three small rescue dogs--with all of their quirks--had a playful, safe and loving environment during my week of travel. My mind was completely at ease with Victoria's experience, communications, and evident care and concern for animals. I've already re-booked with Victoria and I recommended her wholeheartedly!”
“Johnathan saved our vacation! He’s very prompt and great with our pups. We have an older blind dog and a very energetic puppy who took to him right away. Johnathan sends updates and keeps us informed while we are away. Johnathan is a great communicator as well! Very easy going and friendly.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Palm Springs
Kevin is exceptional! We absolutely adore him! He consistently goes above and beyond to care for our two beloved, active pups, Willow and Wexley. His kindness, attentiveness, and genuine love for them give us complete peace of mind while we’re away. We always get uplifting reports and photos of the fun times they have while we are away. We always return home to two happy, well-cared-for puppies. We couldn’t recommend Kevin more highly, he’s truly the best and one of a kind!
If I could leave a million stars I would! Chris is one of the best dog sitters I have ever had. Not only is he so sweet but you can tell the love he has for your pet. This isn't just a job. He has that passionate care for your pet. He sent us photos all night long. Took Archie out on several nice walks. We had Chris come to our hotel to watch Archie. This was so nice to have him offer this service. It really gives you piece of mind. I can't say enough about Chris. We highly recommend him. You won't be sorry!!
Erica was amazing. We found her last minute when our faithful pet sitter was out of town, and she quickly stepped in to help. She came to our home, met little Missy, and took wonderful care of her. Erica kept us updated with photos and let us know how Missy was doing throughout the day, which gave us so much peace of mind. We would highly recommend Erica to anyone looking for a caring and reliable pet sitter.
Andranise dogsat Conan for 3 nights in our home and she treated him like an absolute prince! I loved getting pictures and videos of their time together. When Conan’s happy, I’m happy! He loved their time together. And I appreciated Andranise’s flexibility with my schedule when I ran into flight delays. I highly recommend and trust that my dog is in caring hands with Andranise!
Molly was a great help to us on short notice when another house sitter we had scheduled had to cancel due to a family emergency. Two of our dogs have medications and special feeding needs and Molly was very attentive to the instructions and made sure to repeat them back to me to make sure she understood what i was telling her. The girls were very relaxed and happy when we returned, the house looked just as we left it and I would recommend Molly to anyone else in need of a pet/house sitter.
Larry was an awesome companion for our Frenchie. He managed an introduction w the dog. And we went on a walk together prior to the home sitting w our baby. Larry kept us updated w pictures and was wonderful in making sure Balhoo felt secure, safe and loved. All in our familiar surroundings. I would recommend Larry as a fantastic pet sitter. 5 Star!!! Thanks again Larry.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Palm Springs is $99 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $37 and $131 per night. 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 607 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across 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 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 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 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 , 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 .
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 .
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.
