“Mackenzie did another successful stay with my sassy cat! She sent pictures all week, and I was constantly relieved knowing that Asher was in good hands. 5 stars, again!”
“Crystal was amazing. Our dogs absolutely loved her, and it was clear right away how knowledgeable and kind she is. She kept them on their normal schedule and routine, which is huge for us, and she was super communicative and helpful the entire time we were away. It was such a relief being able to go on vacation and not worry about the dogs at all. We’d 100% book with her again and HIGHLY recommend her!”
“Allie took great care of our old and diabetic girl. She constantly kept in contact and sent pictures. Definitely recommend her to anyone looking for someone to care for their fur babies. We will definitely be calling on her again. Thank you Allie!”
“Great sitter! Took very good care of our dog and cat while we were away so we could enjoy our vacation without worrying about them! Good communication and sent photos with updates for ease of mind. Went above and beyond to deal with our apartment management’s unit inspection and helped us with a last minute request for house care.”
“Jessica was excellent! Her communication was superb, she followed all the instructions I gave her, but most of all she kind and loving to my dog! I would highly recommend her and we will definitely have her back again to sit! Thank you Jessica!!”
“Kathleen was the most wonderful pet sitter ever! Not only did my 2 dogs and cat love her but so did we! She stayed at my house for 2 weeks while we were in Spain and cooked for them and even watered our plants and took care of our house. My babies were so well taken care of and loved! ❤️ I definitely will be using her every time! I recommend you do too!”
“Andrea was a wonderful dog sitter. My dog did well despite being sick and requiring lots of medications. Andrea took very good care of her and my dog continues to be happy to see her when Andrea comes to walk her. She is on time and very pleasant to work with.”
“Toni is amazing! Excellent with communication and you can tell she’s an animal person right away! Kala warmed up to her very quickly and she sent us pictures and updates from the time she got to our home to when she left. Our home was left in excellent condition and every instruction followed perfectly. We will definitely use her in the future and Kala has a new best friend ☺️”
“Malynda was great with our clan!!! She checked in a lot, sent photos and went above and beyond for our pets. I know it was a successful and great week for my pets and she sent me photos of the timid cats getting pets from her and treats!! I highly recommend her.”
About: I have around 20 years of experience taking care of dogs and cats of all ages, including dogs with conditions such as dementia, incontinence, and semi-blindness. I have raised kittens and care for adult/senior cats. I understand that our fur babies are our family! My schedule is very flexible since I work part time in the hospitality industry. Weekdays and weekend availability, including daytime and nighttime. Regular or intermittent. I will go to client homes as my adult cats don't do well with new friends in our home. As I am part of a law enforcement family, rest assured there isn't a concern for your safety/trust, and I take my own safety/security very seriously.
“I couldn’t have asked for a better dog walker/dog sitter! Melina is incredibly sweet, caring, and loving toward my four-legged best friend. Her attentiveness and sense of responsibility gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. She went above and beyond by sending me endless videos and photos, which made me feel connected and reassured the whole time. My pup was clearly happy, well cared for, and loved. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone they can trust completely with their furry family member!”

About: Hi, I’m a dog and I highly recommend my human. He’s the best. Seriously. He gives the best belly rubs, knows exactly how I like my treats, and never forgets my favorite toy. He has professional experience taking care of pups like me and not just the easy ones. He’s worked with puppies who chew everything (including his shoelaces), and senior dogs who need a little extra love, patience, and help getting around including his dog Bobby, who is 13 years old. He’s calm when I’m nervous, fun when I’m full of zoomies, and always makes sure I feel safe and loved when my people are away. I’ve seen him work his magic on other pets too, cats, dogs, you name it. They all seem to like him. (Even the grumpy cat across the street.) So if you’re looking for someone to take care of your furry family member like they’re his own, he’s your human. Trust me. I’d give him four paws up if I could. Caring for animals is something I genuinely love, so it’s a natural part of my day to day life. I structure my schedule around making sure pets get the time, attention, and care they need, whether that’s early morning walks, mid day play sessions, or evening snuggles on the couch. I am a student, which means I’m able to give pets plenty of love and attention throughout the day. Walks, feedings, potty breaks, medication—whatever your pet needs, I can work it into my routine without a problem. I love starting and ending my day with tail wags, purrs, and happy paws. Being around animals helps keep me happy, so pet care isn’t just something I do, it’s something I look forward to every single day. Whether your pet is staying with me or I’m coming to your home, my goal is always the same, to make them feel safe, loved, and totally comfortable. In my home, pets have a cozy, pet friendly space to relax, play, and be part of the family. I make sure they have a consistent routine with plenty of potty breaks, playtime, and cuddles. I’m mindful of feeding schedules, any special instructions, and making sure your pet feels right at home. If they have a favorite bed, toy, or blanket, I always encourage bringing it along! In your home, I aim to keep your pet’s routine as normal as possible by having same walk times, same feeding routine, and all the little things that make them feel at ease. I’ll treat your home with care and respect, and make sure you get regular updates and photos so you know your pet is in good hands. Whether it’s a quick drop-in or a walk, I do everything I can to keep tails wagging and stress levels low (for both you and your pet!).
“Thomas did a wonderful job watching our pets and house. Our dog had a wonderful time playing with Rosco. Everyone was happy and stress free when we got home. The house was also very clean.”
About: I have taken care of my two small dogs since I was eight years old after years of begging for one. I love all dogs and understand each one has their own special needs, since my dogs each need different foods, toys, and levels of attention. I am available for night time walks and most every weekend. I know how picky I am about who takes care of my dogs when I travel so I know what it takes to be a trustful, caring pet sitter who will put you at ease of mine when you're away. I am very responsible and will make sure that your dog's care is a priority and that all of their needs are met. I’ve walked and sat for all different types of dogs while living in NYC and have a wide range of experience whether that be hyperactive dogs who need to get their energy out or senior dogs who need a little extra care. I am currently working 9-5 during the week so I am available for any nightly walks or checks in and on the weekends! The weekends I have more flexibility and am available to dog sit or for walks! I have an apartment that is safe for any pet and am a short walk to multiple parks and dog parks! I also am available to stay in a clients home and would respect any rules you have for your pets and your home, as I know how much trust is placed in a pet caregiver. I will make sure to meticulously follow any eating, sleeping, and cleaning habits for the dogs and will respect any home.
“Maria was amazing! She was super patient with my dogs and took the time to make sure they felt comfortable. She kept in touch the whole time, sent lots of updates and amazing pictures, and really made me feel at ease while I was away. I came home to happy pups and a spotless house! You can tell she truly loves animals and goes above and beyond. I’d definitely book with Maria again!”
“Adrianna was so helpful and a lifesaver! She is clearly an animal lover and it put my mind at ease leaving my puppy for the first time. She provided lots of updates and photos, and my puppy loved her! She went above and beyond 👍”
“When I say that this woman is gods gift to Rover I mean it. My flight was canceled last minute and my very old and sick puppy would have been stranded. Susana not only dropped everything to stay an extra 24 hours, made sure he was safe, and she learned his intense medical regime, did research on a cough that is part of his condition, and left me with homemade jam on her way out. We just moved to west Palm, and it’s just him and I. I tell you I cried and I can’t believe how thankful foley and I are to have met Susana. She is a treasure. BOOK HER.”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Palm Springs is $60

Jessica was fantastic with Tony! She kept me updated throughout with photos and messages, which really put my mind at ease while I was away. It was clear she genuinely cared about his comfort and happiness. I’d happily book her again and would recommend her to any dog owner looking for a sitter who communicates well and treats their pup like family. Thanks, Jessica!
Aline took wonderful care of our cat, Star, while we were away. She was reliable, communicative, and kept us updated throughout her stay, which gave us great peace of mind. It was clear that Star was well cared for and comfortable when we returned home, and our house was just as we left it. We truly appreciated the care and attention she gave to both Star and our home. We would be happy to have Aline house sit for us again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter.
Jess was exceptional and I will definitely use her again. She is responsive, reliable, trustworthy, and caring. I felt completely comfortable leaving for the weekend. She took great care of my house and my 90-pound Akita. I give her my highest recommendation.
Chante is amazing. She stayed in our home and took care of our two dogs for the first time, while we were out of the country for 11 days. Right from the start, she was professional, responsible and focussed on our needs and those of our dogs. She came for not one, but two pre trip meetings, where she met the dogs, introduced her dog to ours, walked them and discusses all the details of care. Our dogs are older, with feeding and medicine needs and Chante took care of all that without any problems. She was very loving to the dogs and kept us informed the whole time we were away, with texts, pics and videos. We came home to find our house perfectly clean, and our dogs perfectly cared for and happy! We could not be more thrilled with Chante! We are so happy to have found her and will be using her whenever we have doggy care needs. Thanks for everything, Chante!
Camila was absolutely wonderful with our cat, Star. From the moment we connected, she was kind, communicative, and clearly a true animal lover. She took such great care of Star for the day and gave us total peace of mind while we were away. Camila kept us updated, was attentive to Star’s needs, and treated her like her own. It means so much to know your pet is in good hands, and Camila exceeded our expectations. We’re so grateful for her help and wouldn’t hesitate to book her again. Highly recommend! 🐾✨
Toni is one of a kind! Luckily she was available to watch my cat Maggie on a quick out of town overnight stay. She‘s my cat sitter to go! Have used her services before and was so happy to see she was available. As always, the house was impeccable, and all instructions followed..most importantly though my Maggie really likes her. Thanks Toni for being you, I am so glad I found you!
Jonathan and Giannina were wonderful with Mister MacDuffin. They were attentive, communicative and it was clear that he was comfortable and happy in their care. This was my first trip away from him using Rover, and they truly put me at ease. I would gladly book with them again for in house sitting, boarding or daycare. Thank you both so much!
Rosy was awesome. My babies loved her and were very well cared for. I loved being able to hear they were doing great. I appreciated very much when Zeus was not feeling well and looked for options to make him feel better. Thank you Rosy for caring for my babies.

FAQs for House Sitting - Palm Springs
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Palm Springs on Rover is $55.5 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 2,524 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Palm Springs. On Rover:
- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% 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.
