“Andrea was great! The cats were well taken care of and she followed all directions. She gave me peace while I was attending my daughter's wedding out of state. I highly recommend Andrea!”
“Mackenzie has always watched our feisty, 7 yr old cat & she was very quickly able to warm up to our new, little Daisy! She watched the girls through the holidays & it was obvious from the photos how much they love her!”
“She’s been amazing! Super attentive (even took notes at the meet and greet), great with last-minute walks, and always keeps me updated. I’m a pretty nervous dog mom and have met with other walkers before, but she’s the first one I’ve actually felt comfortable with. So grateful!”
“Kristen is by far the best sitter we have ever had for our cats. A total cat girl and you can she actually loves our cats. She is overly thorough and has a lot of pride in her services and it shows. We are so grateful for her flexibility and willingness to step in when we are away.”
“I would recommend Patrick to anyone. He was extremely professional and went above and beyond for my dog and cat. He was super responsive and made my extremely nervous pup feel comfortable. Thanks again!”
“We are beyond happy with everything Eva did for Kodak while we were gone. The communication daily, the pictures and always making sure she did what was preferred by us for Kodak was amazing. She went above and beyond. And will definitely reach out to her in the future when we need a sitter again for Kodak.”
“Awesome! Kailey came in clutch last minute after midnight to relieve my dog! She was very communicative and I couldn’t have asked for more. Highly recommended and since she’s local to me, I will utilize her again. Thank you!”
“Cassandra was amazing! I went on a four day trip to FL. and she took great care of my little kitty while I was gone. This was the first time my cat (Blue) met someone new and from what I saw Blue loved Cassandra’s company. She allowed Cassandra to pick her up, play, and scratch her belly. Would definitely reach out again.”

About: I'm an all animal loving former veterinary technician who recently came into a lot of free time. I would love to watch/walk/play with your furry friends and keep your mind at ease when you can't! I'm currently in between jobs so I have full daily/ nightly availability. I can likely come by for whatever preference you have. Super flexible! I'm very much obsessed with animals and treat them with the utmost respect. Animals tend to love me as well. I was a former Vet Tech and I have experience with administering medicine.
About: I’ve been around dogs and pets for most of my life and genuinely enjoy caring for animals. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to feed, walk, play with, and look after their pets while they were away. I am patient, responsible, and attentive to each pet’s needs. Whether it’s providing exercise, companionship, or maintaining routines, I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I am comfortable with dogs of different sizes and personalities and will treat every pet as if they were my own. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide consistent attention, feeding, playtime, walks if needed, and regular check-ins. I make sure every pet receives plenty of care, companionship, and supervision throughout the day while keeping their routine as close as possible to what they’re used to at home. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I carefully follow all care instructions, maintain a clean environment, and make sure pets have access to fresh water, food, and a safe space to relax. I pay close attention to their behavior, provide lots of affection and enrichment, and keep owners updated with messages and photos so they can feel confident their pets are well cared for. 🐾💕
About: *I ONLY TAKE ONE CLIENT AT A TIME* *DOGS MUST BE CRATE TRAINED* I've cared for dogs for most of my life, including my own dogs as well as my client's dogs. As a housekeeper for many years, I was the natural choice when my clients needed a pet sitter. Their pets became like my very own. Now that we no longer have a dog in our home and so I enjoy caring for my client's "borrowed" dogs while they are out of town. Hablo español. My husband and I work part-time. Our schedules allow at least one of us to be home all day so your pet will be closely monitored for their safety. I have a fenced-in yard and no other pets in my home. I require a meet & greet before the booking to meet your dog and for you to meet me to make sure we are a good fit. For our safety as well as your dog's safety, I require proof of current Rabies vaccination. At this time, we do not accept more than one client at a time. This is for your pet's comfort and safety. We require a meet & greet with you and your pet before confirming any boarding visit.
“Stephanie was detail-oriented, and she kept us updated throughout her drop-in visits. Zee was so happy to see her. We could not be happier with her services!”
“Melissa was amazing! We needed someone to come to our house for daily drop-ins for two weeks while our normal person was out of the country. She is very personable, energetic, communicative, and punctual. And the dogs loved her! She is clearly a dog person, loved our dogs, and you can tell she took the job very seriously. Highly recommend.”
“Lea has become my go-to person when it comes to Goose. She is always quick to reply, I adore the updates when Goose & Lea go on adventures. Would HIGHLY recommend”
“Alexis is FANTASTIC!!!! I came home to a sparkling clean home, kitties well taken care of, she even vacuumed and cleaned up. She sent me pictures of the cats every day and even my very shy boy cat loved her! She’s gonna be my go-to catsitter now, terrific job!”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Palm Springs
Aline was wonderful with our cat Star. She watched her for a few hours and was attentive, kind, and very easy to communicate with. You can tell she genuinely cares about animals and made sure Star was comfortable and well looked after the entire time. We really appreciated her reliability and the peace of mind she gave us while we were away. I would absolutely recommend Aline to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter.
Melissa is such an amazing sitter. My cats are usually too shy to let anyone near them, but they both approached her during the walkthrough and were very social with her while we were away. She did an excellent job giving them both their medications, and an even better job soothing my anxious cat mommy nerves. Highly, highly recommend Melissa and will 100% rebook if we are fortunate enough to hire her again!
Evan was awesome with my two cats. They loved him and appreciated his playing. Evan provided extremely thorough and detailed updates to me in each of his visits and asked any clarifying questions he needed to. I would highly recommend Evan to anyone looking for a sitter in the area.
Shannon is amazing! I am a repeat customer and so impressed with her patience, empathy for a skittery kitty around strangers She got Gabbie to come out of hiding and take a squeezy pouch, multiple days! Gabbie was comfortable and responsive, so Shannon has the touch! She sent lots of pictures every day

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Palm Springs on Rover is $21.69 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Cat 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 Cat Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 1,773 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Palm Springs. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Palm Springs. On Rover:

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.
