“Andrea made our first vacation using Rover a breeze! We had previously never used a sitter outside of friends or family, so we were a little nervous. But Andrea came to meet us and our pets beforehand, she was very attentive and kind. She was on time for every check in and left us a note with pictures every time. She was easy to communicate with and quick to respond. We highly recommend Andrea and her services. She left us feeling at ease while we were away. When we got home, everything was perfect and our pets were happy and healthy. Thank you so much!!”
“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!”
“Auriel is a fantastic pet sitter! I’ve used her services twice, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone. The best part? My kitties absolutely adore her. They recognize her now and are always happy to see her—which, in my opinion, is the highest praise a pet sitter can receive. Knowing they’re comfortable and well cared for gives me complete peace of mind. Thank you, Auriel!”
“I have 2 elder cats, one with special needs. We moved and are new to this area. I needed a trusted soul with my girls and found just that. Easy, professional, a wish come true. To have Jessica is more then peace of mind to me. I was able to leave for an extended time and know, through communication and pictures that everything was alright at home. Having Jessica allowed me to have the best time in a very long time. I can't thank her and Rover enough. i will definitely book again. Thanks Jess!”
“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.”
“If my dogs could talk they would say “ where’s Patrick?” They LOVED him! My Malinois bonded with him and he was effective with his ability to pack lead. Patrick has a lot of experience as a dog trainer especially big dogs and worker dogs , which was very important to us. He exercised them and took wonderful care of them. We will most definitely book Patrick again. Patrick went above and beyond to make sure our dogs were safe, happy, and entertained. He is dependable, punctual, and very personable. Thanks Patrick”
“Kailey was a very good fit for my Bonnie. She cared for my girl with so much love and devotion. She met her medical needs and was genuinely concerned for her care. I received daily updates and communication. I trust her completely and will definitely use her from now on as long as she is available. Kailey has a beautiful, caring demeanor about her from the moment we first met, and I knew she was the best person for my Bonnie.”
About: My whole life there’s always been a furry member of my family. My mom currently has a 9 year old rescue pit who needs special attention throughout the day I’ve dressed wounds on his paws, I’ve fed him and bathed him and I’ve given medication when needed. I’ve taken him into my home a few days at a time while my mom works and my kids have learned how to care for dogs as well . Rover fits perfectly in my daily schedule. I work part time and have plenty of free range with my time . Whenever I’m home I’m always just tending to my kids or the house rover will be a fun addition to my schedule I don’t have a fenced yard but there is a dog friendly park right down the street from my house which is where I plan to do most play time. I also have 2 small children in my home but they’ve been around dogs their whole lives so they know how to act with animals and how to treat them with respect
“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 always loved being around animals and caring for them. I currently have a small senior dog, my sweet little baby (a Yorkie/Maltese mix), so I’m very familiar with daily care, patience, and paying attention to a pets individual needs. I’m comfortable with feeding routines, walks, playtime, and making sure pets feel safe and happy. I also helped care for another pet for about a month, where I kept the owner updated daily with photos and messages so they felt reassured their pet was safe and well cared for. They were very happy with the care and even asked me to watch their pet again. I enjoy going on walks and spending quality time playing with pets, but I also understand the importance of being gentle and patient - especially with older or more sensitive animals. I’m committed to treating every pet like family and providing a safe, loving, and reliable environment. Im generally available every day, including evenings and weekends (except Sunday 5-8pm), with most of my time open for walks, playtime, and pet care. I work part-time, but i always comunícate promptly to make sure your pets are cared for reliably. I provide a safe, clean, and comfortable enviroment for all pets, whether in my home or theirs. Pets in my care are always supervised, given plenty of attention, and kept on their regular routines for feeding, walks, and playtime. I maintain a clean, safe enviroment and supervise pet closely to prevent them from getting into anything harmful. My own small senior dog has a sensitive stomach, so im used to keeping floors and accessible áreas free of any food or objects that could be dangreous. My goal is to make every pet feel loved, secure, and happy while they’re in my care.
“Emily was just amazing! She really loves the dogs and treats them as her own. I love the pictures she sends daily and she even took the time to do a meet and greet and get to know us and the pups. Highly reccommend and will be using her again in the near future!”
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.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Palm Springs
I was nervous leaving Lucy alone, Shyanne was amazing and made me feel so much better. Shyanne provided me with detailed updates every drop in visit and followed all of the directions for her food, and Lucy looked so comfortable and happy in the photos. Shyanne will be the first person I contact next time I leave town. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
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.
Jorden has taken care of my dog and cat many times now for various weekend trips and my longest two week vacation. She has always been readily available and great with the animals. My dog is a big German shepherd and she handles him with ease and even does his eye drops twice daily. Jorden is very reliable and will always be my go-to 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.
Daniel is great. Very professional, communicates very well and took notes during our meet and greet to make sure he covered all the bases. He sent pictures of his visit with my dogs and I felt confident that they were well carried for while I was out. Would recommend and use would use again. Thanks so much
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

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Palm Springs on Rover is $21.42 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 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 July 2026, there are 4,176 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:
- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% 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.
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.
