We had Rhondee drop in our dog while we were away and we came home and all was well and great with our dog Cajun. Rhondee was able to accommodate the drop in times that we requested, which was much appreciated! Would certainly recommend to anyone else!

CJ has been amazing with my dog. He is very uncomfortable around new people and can be difficult to work with. CJ is very understanding of this and handles it well. CJ is very aware of what my dog is experiencing and is careful not to push him when he is exhibiting extreme fear -- nor does she become frustrated by this. I'm very happy to have found someone that work with him and his specific needs in such a caring way.

About: I am a registered nurse who brings the same level of dedication, vigilance, and compassion to pet care as I do to my human patients. Holding advanced life-support credentials (BLS, ACLS, and PALS), I am deeply committed to safety and well-being. I absolutely adore animals and understand that our pets are family. Whether you have an energetic pup who needs a walking buddy or a selective cat who requires a gentle, patient touch, your fur babies will receive top-tier companionship and structured care under my watch. I am taking care of a sick family member the other times I am not with pets, so I am very flexible if need be. Your pet’s existing routine is my priority, and I seamlessly adapt to their specific feeding, walking, and nap schedules. You can look forward to frequent photo updates and transparent communication throughout their stay, giving you absolute peace of mind while you are away.

Such a blessing to have Matthew watch over our fur babies! He was attentive, responsive and dedicated to keeping our babies safe and secure during our vacation. Daily updates and fast responses, even though we were halfway around the globe. He adapted to a problem while we were gone, and resolved it for us without complaint. If you’re thinking about him, don’t think twice, just book!

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.

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!

About: I’ve been caring for dogs of all sizes since I was a young girl, and animals have always been a natural part of my life. I’ve rescued dogs throughout my adulthood and loved every breed, personality, and quirky soul that’s come my way. Even cats — despite my allergies — tend to walk right up to me, which always makes me smile. I’ll still care for them with love (and a little help from allergy meds). I’m an empath with a deep, intuitive connection to animals. Nervous, shy, senior, or sensitive pets usually relax around me quickly. I read their body language, respect their boundaries, and create a calm, predictable environment where they feel safe and understood. I also bring professional caregiving skills to my pet care. As a retired massage therapist and longtime caregiver, I can offer gentle pet massage, calming touch, and support for aging, compassionate end of life care and support or anxious dogs. I’m comfortable providing wound care, administering medications, and injections for diabetic animal when needed. What truly sets me apart is the combination of lifelong love of animals, my experience, intuition, and genuine compassion. Your pet will be cared for with patience, warmth, and the same steady presence I’ve brought to every animal I’ve loved. I create a calm, predictable environment where pets feel safe, understood, and cared for in my Home or Yours. I will respect your home, your space, your privacy and the trust you placed in me.

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.

About: Hello You Loving Pet Owner, You! My name is Samantha B., and I grew up loving to care for animals. In fact, I used to want to be a veterinarian, so in a way I've always been interested in Pet-Care. This has led me to later pet-sitting for my family, my friends, and some past neighbors. Now I simply enjoy pet-sitting for when I need to earn a little extra cash to help pay off bills and expenses. The current services that I can offer are Dog Walking, making Drop-In Visits, and House Sitting. ● I can handle walking two to three small-medium sized dogs at once. For big dogs, I prefer to walk them 1-to-1. On walks I will ALWAYS clean after your pet, and keep them safe from other dogs. ● For drop-in visits, I can provide 2-3 visits per day. While visiting, I will also clean up any pet related messes. *I can help with light housekeeping as well, but this would be a seperate service. Please inquire if you are interested*. ●House Sitting service is not a service that I always offer, but since it is Summer, I will be opening this service up. Please message me for scheduling. While house sitting, I will care for your pet(s) within the comfort of their own home. There, I can focus on keeping you pet healthy and happy; with frequent update picture and scheduled update messages; light housekeeping is included with this service. With frequent updates, you can start to feel more at ease while thinking of your pet(s) while on vacation, caring for family matters, or as you focus on buisness. I'm trying to save up for a new apartment. I want to move to a pet-friendly one, so this is for that saving fund. This also helps pay off some of my bills. I keep an eye on how much my pets are eating and when. Keeping a well planned schedule for feeding is my preference. As someone who enjoys being outside more than indoors, I make sure my own pets get enough fresh air and plenty of exercise.

About: With over 11 years of hands-on cat care experience, I bring a depth of understanding that goes far beyond basic sitting. My background includes working with animal shelters, caring for energetic kittens, supporting senior cats with special routines, and raising my own three cats, each with their own unique needs and personalities. This range has taught me how to read feline behavior, adapt quickly, and provide calm, confident care in any situation. I’m especially attentive to routine, cleanliness, and emotional comfort. Whether a cat needs gentle patience, playful engagement, or quiet companionship, I tailor my care to what helps them feel safest and most at ease. I treat every cat as an individual—not a checklist—and my goal is always for pet parents to feel complete peace of mind knowing their cat is in experienced, compassionate hands. I’m a full-time pet sitter, which means your cats receive my full attention—not rushed visits squeezed around another job. My flexible schedule allows me to spend quality time with your pets, closely monitor their needs, and adjust care as needed to keep them comfortable and stress-free. I strive to maintain a peaceful, secure environment in your home so your pets feel comfortable and stress-free. From following routines to keeping your space tidy and secure, safety and trust are always my top priorities.

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!

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Rancho Mirage

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Rancho Mirage on Rover is $26.64 per visit (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 307 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
  • 95% 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.
