“Mackenzie is an amazing dog sitter! She was super communicative, flexible, and made sure our 3 very needy dogs got all the love they require. Highly recommend!!”
“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!”
About: Hello! Pleasure to assist you and your lovely doggos and cars this fine day. My name is Vel, I am a 26 yr old Pilates/walk loving girl who works as a paralegal from home. I’ve been the proud owner of two shelter baby boys and recently lost the love of my life Bossley (my 11 yr old Boston Terrier Beagle mix you see on my profile). Due to this loss I’m trying to get back out there and walk all the miles with your dog as I did with mine. Due to being a beginner I am offering very low prices to get to meet new clients in my vicinity. Thanks so much for reading this! I currently work from home with flexible hours as I work with a non-profit who is very work balanced friendly. You will see my schedule change from here to here. For now as a house sitter I will be very diligent with the information you provide me of your babies. Be precise on feeding time Number of walks - including where to walk (parks, neighborhoods, backyard surveillance) - equipment - distance and timing of walks - I am an avid walker and can walk as much as 5 hours. I can also help with bathing if your dogs/babies are chill like that. And I am here for chill nights and playtime!
About: I am great with amphibians, fish, dogs cats and small rodents, I do tons of research, it’s like a hobby :) I love animals a lot! I am available at any time any day! Currently not working because I am pregnant and expecting a baby!! I am here to help take care of any and all your fur babies :) I have pets of my own, a leopard gecko, frogs, a hamster and a dog, I care for them like they’re my own and I love them dearly: I am 100% professional about pet care and will do my research on any animal you provide me, this is why I ask a weeks time before I am given the animal to care for, so I know exactly what their needs are. For animals such as (hamster, amphibians, reptiles, betta fish, sifts and cats) you just let me know what they need specifically and I’ll be sure to provide it, I will care for your pets like I care for my own <3
“Jessica was such a great find. She was so good with my Ziggy. Kept me very informed thru out the evening. Came home to a very content puppy. Definitely will be using her again.”
“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!”
“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 👍”
“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.”
“I am so thankful to have found Toni! She eased my anxiety while I traveled out of state and took the best care of my senior dog. Thank you so much for everything!!!”
“I was away for about one week and Ruah stayed with my babies. She took great care of them. I will definitely be a returning customer! I highly recommend her services if you are looking for someone who truly cares for your pups!”
About: I had two dogs growing up I loved so much. My friends and family run to me when they have any type of dog service needed as they know I love animals. I have done plenty of walks, overnight services, and drop-ins. I adore dogs so so much and have a strong passion to give them top quality care as if they were my very own! I walk, sit, and board dogs full time. I take pet care as a seriously job. I am available for early mornings, late nights, and in between! I have open availability and aside of that am a stay at home mom. I recently moved away from my childhood home where we had to dogs. But I would go on walks with them every single day and took care of a lot of their daily needs. I treat every single dog as if they were my own. I truly believe dogs are not just pets but are family members who deserve the same level and care as a child.
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.
About: Hello, my name is Leila Woods and I am currently in my senior year at FAU. I was raised in a quiet beach town, but in a rather noisy house. For furry friends we have had multiple dogs, cats and fish, as well as some bearded dragons! I have been pet sitting for nearly five years now, as I began in high school with watching my neighbors pets. I love being able to spend my time adoring and caring for animals, especially now that I’m away at college with no pets of my own… so your pets will get extra love and attention! I am currently a senior in mostly remote classes and work an online job, so I will have plenty of time to spend with your furry friends! As I don’t have animals of my own I will have extra love and attention for your pets! I treat any animal I work with as my own, being sure to care for its every need. As I care for your pets, I will also care for your home, ensuring all food and toys are where they belong.
About: I’ve been caring for dogs for several years by watching pets for family members, coworkers, and neighbors. Through these experiences, I’ve cared for dogs with different personalities, sizes, and energy levels, and I understand that every dog has unique needs and routines. I believe pets are happiest when they feel comfortable, safe, and loved, so I take the time to follow each owner’s instructions closely, whether that’s feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications, or simply providing companionship. I treat every dog as if they were my own and make it a priority to keep owners updated with messages and photos while they’re away. My goal is to provide dependable, attentive care so you can have peace of mind knowing your dog is in good hands. I'm currently working part-time, so l'll have plenty of time to play with your pups! I'm available for boarding as well. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a secure, fenced-in backyard where dogs can safely play and get exercise, and I live in a one-story home with plenty of space to relax. I also have a friendly miniature Goldendoodle who loves other dogs and enjoys having playmates. I live with my retired grandmother, who is also a big dog lover, so your pet will receive plenty of attention, care, and companionship throughout the day. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always follow their routine and instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medications (if needed), and any special care requests. I treat every pet as if they were my own and strive to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away.

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.

- 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.
