“We got to come home to a happy dog after Kristina’s drop by visit with Chunk for some outdoor play time, potty break, and meal time. Very satisfied with her service and great communication.”
“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”
“Kyla watched our dogs and kitty for two and a half days, and she did an excellent job! I’m so thankful that I met her. She was punctual, responsible, and very respectful of our home. She also spent lots of time with our pets. My dogs are extra shy, but in a short time they came to love her. She has a calm and sweet presence that just fit my dogs and cat perfectly. She sent me plenty of updates and pictures, and I really appreciated that. I’d hire her again in a second. She’s great!”
“Henny is such a wonderful and reliable sitter for our beloved Cat! She helped us same day when our house burned down in the Palisades Fire. She is what every family needs. Like Mary Poppins for your Fur Baby. Thank you Henny!”
About: I've been a lifelong animal lover and currently care for my two beloved cats, Leo and Bella. They have taught me the importance of patience, consistency, and understanding each pet's unique personality. I know how much pets mean to their families, and I will treat yours with the same love and care I give my own. I am dependable, responsible, and committed to making sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and happy while you're away. I currently work full-time in hospitality, but I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide dependable pet care before or after work and on my days off. I'll always communicate my availability in advance and make sure your pet receives the attention, love, and care they deserve. I treat every pet as if they were my own. Your pet's safety, comfort, and routine are my top priorities. I carefully follow all feeding schedules, medication instructions (if needed), and any special requests. I'll keep your home clean and secure and send regular photo and video updates so you can have peace of mind while you're away. As a proud cat mom to Leo and Bella, I understand how important it is to care for every pet with patience, kindness, and respect.
About: I have grown up with animals my whole life. I am an animal lover and love to meet little friends. I have always been around both dogs and cats and know how hard it can be to leave them when going on trips, working, etc. I tend to be the person to babysit or drop in on friends and family’s pets when they’re away. I work Monday-Friday 8:00AM-5:00PM. My evenings are free after work. Weekend days I am available most of the day when I am scheduled to care for pets. I can feed, bath, walk, and clean up after dogs and cats. I am open to cleaning a litter box and any accidents that may happen in a home.
About: Hi!, my name is Justin and I've been taking care of animals of all shapes and sizes since I can remember, as such I'm very excited to get to work with and for all our four-legged friends! As mentioned above my core values include being energetic, adaptable and patient, and through these values you and your pet(s) can expect discreet professional level service at anytime you need me. Hope to meet you soon! - Justin Despite currently job-hunting at this time, my schedule is completely wide open for all your petcare and play needs, and even after when I find a position I'll be sure to keep your pets a priority in my schedule. I currently live with my sisters' 2 Labradoodles, and as such each day it's my duty to make sure they're let outside between 7:30-8am, given a Greenie dog brush treat when they return, have a clean, full water dish with clean filters, are generally behaved and not causing damage to anything (rip Birkenstocks, you'll be missed), played with, are fed between 5-7pm, and let outside throughout the day until last call at 10pm. Regarding house sitting, my bounds all depend on the dog(s) themselves as well as your personal preferences. If they have seperation anxiety, need attention 24/7 due to medical reasons or just want someone to play with, then I have no issue staying all days and/or nights for them, but if they need only to be checked on routinely then I would be absent from the home so as to value your privacy. At the time of writing this I have no scheduling issues with staying overnight during house sitting calls, but if you only need check-ins then I can check in as many times as necessary.
About: I’ve taken care of my neighbours dogs since my sophomore year of highschool and I’ve walked and fed them mostly at their own house. I’ve taken care of a lot of aggressive dogs in the past I’m currently going to community college and mostly do side jobs. Im currently on summer break so right now my schedule is very flexible and open I’m able to drive to my clients house and feed, let their dog outside and even walk them. I also like to spend a little extra time playing with them.
“Angelica is very reliable and quick to respond. She was available last minute. It’s wonderful to have someone that we can trust. She is very sweet with our two rescue dogs 💕”
“Don has been great with our 2 dogs. He has boarded them several times and lately has been dropping by our house for a couple hours when we’re out for many hours and taking the dogs for walks, swims, playtime and doing some training!”
About: I care about the quality and attention that I give when taking care of pets. I used to walk 8 pugs at a time. I was known as the pug walker. I am a lecturer in communication studies and believe in clear and open communication with my clients. I promise to treat your pets as if they were my own. Kindness and compassion are a big part of my philosophy of life. I will give your pet love and my undivided attention when I care for them. I am an animal lover and love cats and dogs equally. I have always had both cats and dogs but currently do not have any pets. I look forward to hearing from you and hope that you can sense that I am a great petsitter. I am currently working part time and have a great deal of flexibility for taking extra special care of your fur babies. I love spending time with all kinds of animals. I am respectful of space and treat anyone's home with care and utmost respect. I am willing to work together to create an excellent experience for everyone involved.
“Ana was wonderful with our senior cat Lizzy. She was a great communicator providing comforting updates while we were away for the holidays. I trust her completely and would absolutely use her again. Thank you Ana.”
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We can’t thank Holly enough for stepping in at the last minute to take care of our pets!

We really appreciated how attentive she was to all of our pets’ needs and how she kept us updated with messages and photos—it gave us such peace of mind while we were away. Everything was perfectly handled, and our pets were clearly happy and well cared for. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and professional pet sitter!”

Alexis was great! My four cats all have different dietary needs but I could trust that Alexis took care of them all as instructed. I could rest assured they were well taken care of and she communicated with me consistently while I was on my trip. Great pet sitter, especially for a gang of cats. Would recommend!
Julie is great! She’s very reliable and provides great summary updates and pictures. Soufflé was well taken care of. I’ve booked with her a number on times and I had total peace of mind while I was away. I’d highly recommend her to anyone looking for a great pet sitter.
Shayna was amazing! She was kind, communicative, and always kept me updated with messages and photos. My pets absolutely loved her, and she went above and beyond by giving them extra playtime and attention. I felt at ease knowing they were in great hands. Highly recommend Shayna 🩷

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Rancho Mirage on Rover is $26.64 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 306 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Rancho Mirage. 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 Rancho Mirage. On Rover:
- 96% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 98% 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.
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.
