“James did a great job. Quick to respond and meet up. I felt very comfortable leaving him with my monster and there were absolutely no issues. Everything went according to plan. I’d fully recommend!”
“absolutely incredible with my animals and the most IN DEPTH analysis of her visit made me feel like she could not have gone more above and beyond to provide comfort to my fur babies”
“Never having used a pet sitter in the past I was a little apprehensive about leaving Bentley alone. However, Christopher removed that concern with daily notes on the Report Cards and multiple photos during the (6) visits that I booked him; Bentley appeared relaxed in every photo. In fact, with those updates I really was worry-free while out of town. I would most definitely engage with Christopher.”
“We really like Samantha. She has been very reliable and communicative. I had to go back to working 8 hours a day and it's been really nice to have Samantha come and do drop in visits with my dogs. After Pearl had a pee pee accident (she's not used to staying in the create that long) Samantha cleaned it up. Me and Milo and Pearl appreciate Samantha.”
“Erika is amazing, she does such a good job with my two cats! Sometimes they can be little trouble makers and she cleaned up the mess they made. She’s definitely my go-to cat sitter when I have to head out of town.”
“We are so thankful for Andranise! She has been so flexible with our crazy schedules and last minute requests. Our dog, Lucy, loves when she comes over during the day while we are at work. We hope Andranise will always be available to let out Lucy!”
“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 !”
“Rhondee was great, prompt, and responsive! Medicine had to be administered for my senior dog so needed someone I felt I can trust. Rhondee scheduled for a meet n greet as this is my first time which made me feel comfy”
“Ashurina did a wonderful job watching our pups, allowing us to get out and play some golf. We have a high-energy puppy, who is shy with people and a 15 year-old dog who is slowing down a bit. Ashurina played with our kids and made sure they got their potty breaks and treats. We rebooked her last minute for an additional drop-in visit. Highly recommended.”
“Nina is a sweetheart and very passionate about taking excellent care of your pet! She is very warm and is willing to work with you for what’s best for your dog! Would recommend her any day”
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.
“We loved having Sarah watch our three cats! She was very communicative and quick to respond, and she got all three of them (even the shy one) to eat and socialize. She is friendly and had such a great energy. We will definitely book with her again!”
“I highly recommend Jon. He's very responsive to communication and good with my pets. He's responsible and showed up when he said he would. I'm so glad he was available both times we've needed a dog watcher. We very much appreciate him!!”
“Marisa was amazing as always!! She takes such great care of my kitties and bunnies, and everyone is always happy and well taken care of when she visits :)) I always feel completely comfortable knowing they’re in her care.”
“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.”

Pet 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.
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!
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.
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Palm Springs on Rover is $18.19 per visit (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 881 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.
