“I’m afraid to say too many good things about Kevin because I am never going to be able to book him again! He is an absolute king when it comes to senior dogs. My dog is relatively easy, but as she is older, she can definitely have her moments. Kevin showed incredible patience, care, compassion, and love. I cannot recommend him enough. He is a great match for my “Fluff”. We will be booking again!”
“Tony was amazing with our Sheepadoodle Califern. We ran into a pinch over the Thanksgiving holiday and needed to find coverage quickly and Tony delivered. He was flexible with Cali's needs and sent me updates with pictures during the stay. We joke that our dog is like our child and we're not kidding that we would talk about her nightly if she were ok and missing us. Having communication and pictures helped us know she was in a good space. I'd highly recommend boarding your dogs with Tony. He was awesome. --Tom”
“Christopher was awesome! Our first experience using Rover and when we first met Christopher he took away our anxiety. He was on time, has a true passion and Cooper had a great time with him! Have already booked another time.”
“Tigh helped us out so much by adding these 2 extra days with Nico! He is a fantastic guy and so great with Nico. Loved seeing our pup so happy and healthy when we returned from our trip!”
“Ashurina did a stellar job caring for our pets during our 4-night getaway to Big Bear Lake. We met with her a couple of days before our trip, and it was immediately clear she was the perfect sitter — our pets went right up to her for love and attention! While we were away, we had total peace of mind knowing our pets were in the best hands. Ashurina kept us updated with adorable photos and sweet stories about what they were up to, which made being away from them so much easier. When we came home, our pets were happy and relaxed — and we were thrilled to know that we now have someone we trust completely. Ashurina will absolutely be our go-to pet sitter moving forward. Highly recommend!”
“It's so great to be able to enjoy travel knowing your pets are getting the care they would get from us. Renee took such good care of them, and the photos were outstanding. How come I can't take photos that good? Communication was excellent. Updates were timely. Neighbors reporting meeting Renee on walkies and remarking about how personable she was, and how obviously she liked Peaches, the wonder dog. I will certainly use Renee again, and recommend her to anyone who wants a pet sitter who loves pets.”
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.
“Elaine was superb! She arrived early and took good care of our dog, Eclair. Elaine was highly recommended and we are so glad we found her. We have already booked her for three trips. And we know Eclair will be in great hands!”
“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.”
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.
“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.”
“One word "Awesome" our Cooper loved Nina. She provided us instant peace of mind. While we vacationed in the area, Nina walked, played and cuddled Cooper for an entire day, while we took an excursion to Disneyland. Cooper had his own fun day with Nina.”
“Sarah took wonderful care of my dog Lotte while I traveled for four days. She was attentive, reliable, and caring, and I was able to enjoy my trip with absolutely no guilt about leaving Lotte in her care.”
“Desiree did an amazing job looking after our little guy. She met with us prior to watching him in our home and eased his nerves. We look forward to working with Desiree again.”
“This was the second time we had Jon watch our doberman Tyson while visiting Palm Springs. Tyson has severe separation anxiety and Jon great while watching Tyson when we went out for the evening. Jon's professionalism and 'dog skills' allowed us to have evenings out without a single worry. We highly recommend Jon, and will using him on our next visit to Palm Springs. Thanks Jon!”

Kevin was an outstanding house and pet sitter. From the start, he was reliable, communicative, and easy to work with, which gave us real peace of mind while we were away. He took excellent care of our home and treated our dog with genuine kindness and attention. It was clear he were happy, comfortable, and well cared for. Kevin also kept us updated with messages and photos, which we really appreciated. When we returned, our home was clean, organized, and exactly as we left it. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We highly recommend Kevin to anyone looking for a trustworthy, responsible, and caring house and pet sitter, and we would gladly have him sit for us again.
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.
This was our first time having Tony stay with Precious (our beloved iggy) on an extended stay, and he was absolutely fantastic. Iggies are notoriously anxious and attached. He gained her trust, and they became fine friends. We also appreciated all the pictures and updates Tony provided along the way. Also, he took good care of the house perfectly. We highly recommend Tony.
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.
I was so nervous because I typically fly my dogs to my mom‘s cause I don’t trust anybody with my babies! So so happy my mom found Nina on here. I don’t treat my dogs like dogs. I treat them like my actual children. lol so it took a lot for me to drop them off. Nina made me feel so comfortable. I love the constant updates with pictures and videos throughout the day. It was extremely comforting. She took amazing care of them. They were very content and so happy. Can’t thank her enough!!
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.
Jasmin is the best sitter I’ve ever had!! So friendly and professional and loving towards my pup. I appreciated her knowledge of dog behavior that helped me to better understand my gal. Jasmin took lots of great pics and sent informative updates about her evenings with my pup. I would give her 10 stars if I could!!

FAQs for House Sitting - Palm Springs
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Palm Springs on Rover is $99.9 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House 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 House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 605 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 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.

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.
