“James was a huge help watching our kitty while we traveled. He watched Wolfie with great care giving him a daily dose of medicine, filling water and food and cleaning the litter box. James was always communicative and a pleasure to work with. Highly recommend!”

About: I’ve been a dog lover my entire life. I’m a sr.with an adorable beagle, I’m home 98% of the time, and being of service for pets gives me great joy. I raised an Eagle Scout who graduated from MIT, and I sold diamonds and Rolex for years in Redondo Beach. Thank you you so much for your trust . I always go above and beyond. AND, I have a fun backyard just perfect for naps and zoomies. I’m a senior who spends majority of my time at home with my pups. Lots of attention and interaction , and backyard breaks . Pup heaven! I have a lovely fenced in backyard, and my own pups love sunning themselves all times of the day. I’m normally always home except for quick trips to the grocery store or an occasional lunch out ; otherwise I’m here , hands-on!

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.

“Eric was awesome! We were a bit nervous about using a dog sitter because we don’t do it very often, but we are traveling so it made sense. He made us very comfortable, and more importantly or dog absolutely loved him. He’s like the Mary Poppins of dog sitters - practically perfect in every way! We’ve already scheduled additional bookings.”

“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 provide attentive, private pet care tailored to desert living, with hands-on experience in daily dog walking, in-home sitting, puppy care, and senior support. I actively manage heat, hydration, pacing, and paw safety, adjusting each walk to the season and the individual dog. I guide puppies with structure and consistency, support senior dogs with patience and medication awareness, and maintain calm, controlled walks using positive reinforcement. I limit the number of dogs in my care, offer private walks only, and treat every home with discretion and respect—delivering reliable, thoughtful care that keeps dogs safe, enriched, and owners completely at ease. I’m available Monday through Sunday, with regular hours from as early as 6 a.m. to as late as 8 p.m., and I offer flexibility to accommodate special scheduling needs when required. I prioritize safety, trust, and calm structure in every setting, whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home. I follow each dog’s routine closely, maintain a clean and respectful environment, and remain mindful of boundaries, belongings, and privacy at all times. I communicate clearly and consistently with owners, providing updates and transparency so they feel confident and informed. I move intentionally, reinforce positive behavior, and create a calm, secure atmosphere that allows dogs to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in their own space.

“Cesar is amazing!! He took care of my three cats while we were out of town for our wedding, over the past 9 days our kitties were in great care with Cesar’s drop in visits! He went above and beyond our expectations. Truly kept the litter boxes clean and swept around them! He changed their food and water and made sure they were safe! Cesar is trust worthy and respectful! He kept us updated throughout the whole process, sending us lots of loving photos and even keeping us updated on the weather! He is soo kind and truly loves animals, we have gold fish here too, even thou we were feeding them pebbles with the automatic feeder he noticed the fish and added some bounce flacks when he visited (out of the kindness of his heart). SO NICE! If you are looking for someone to care for your pets, I HIGHLY recommend Cesar he is very knowledgeable and caring, he followed every step I gave him and went beyond that. He even offered to have a free meet and great so the animals could get to know him! SO THOUGHTFUL. unfortunately my tight schedule wouldn’t allow it but, it’s the thought he puts in that counts! Thank you so much Cesar you are a true blessing to us and our animals! Until next time! 💕”

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: 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: 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!

We booked Nina to watch our two Morkie girls while we were in Palm Springs for a family vacation. We had a day trip planned to Disneyland and needed someone to watch the dogs since we were going to be gone 18 hours. Maizy and Millie immediately loved Nina when she came to meet them and we felt confident in having her take care of them. We got numerous pictures throughout the day and evening she was with them, as well as many messages. Nina was fantastic and helped us have a memorable day without worrying about our girls. I would recommend her without any hesitation! She even checked with me the next day to make sure Maizy was ok because she didn’t want to eat her dinner while Nina was with her. Nina was kind, caring, a great communicator and we felt she really cared about our girls!

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!

This is the first time I have booked Jimmy to spend some time with my boys. In a word, he was FANTASTIC! My boys absolutely loved him when they first met during a meet and greet and it was obvious to me that Jimmy is a real animal lover. Jimmy was prompt, courteous and professional throughout the experience. He was clearly enamored with my boys and they clearly had a great time with him. I will ABSOLUTELY be using Jimmy in the future. I cannot recommend him highly enough. Book Jimmy and you can be rest assured that your dog(s) will be well taken care of! See you next time Jimmy….Woof!

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Palm Springs

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Palm Springs on Rover is $18.19 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of September 2026, there are 890 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Palm Springs. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Palm Springs stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.

The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.

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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Palm Springs. On Rover:

  • 95% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 99% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% can help with daily exercise

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.

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.
