“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!”
“Ana is awesome! She was truly kind and caring to my two special needs cats over several days/nights in my home. Managed medications and play as well as feeding schedules. I really liked the daily updates and photos even though I told her they weren’t necessary. I was nervous as first time leaving pets and home in someone else’s care. She is professional and made everything smooth and worry free. Already asked her to check her schedule for a future stay!”
“Was available very last minute when someone that was going to watch our cat became sick. That was very much appreciated! Sent pictures afterward but would’ve appreciated more info about how things went. Food bowl was empty the next day, so either wasn’t filled or filled very little. Overall happy with her quick response time though and willingness to help last minute.”
“We’ve used Faith’s services for 3 times now and couldn’t be happier! She takes great care of our cat and shows her lots of love. It’s so nice to have peace of mind when going out of town that our cat is in good hands!”
“McKenna cared for our 2 young cats when we were away from home for 4 days. She was always on time, followed all instructions and was great at communicating with us. She sent photos and updates every day. We would definitely use Mc Kenna again the next time we're out of town.”
“Aimee is absolutely fantastic with our cats! We once had a cat sitter for 4 years who never saw Denny, our boy cat. He was all over Aimee from the start! The girls love her too! So glad we found her!”

“Samantha watched our senior cat Jack for ten days during the heat wave. She was reliable and punctual and made sure Jack didn’t get dehydrated. She cleaned up after him when he threw up. He was persnickety for a few days at the beginning but Samantha persisted and won him over. She is a rock star!”
About: Hi, my name is Giulietta :) I have taken care of animals since I was 5 years old when I had my first puppy, and a few years later when I helped my neighbor raise her cat. I have been dog and cat sitting for the past 3 years in Santa Cruz, but this is my first time trying Rover as I have just moved to Palm Desert! :) The current services I provide are dog walking, drop in visits for dogs and cats, and house sitting. I can walk dogs for a half hour or an hour, and I can drop in any time of day and provide food, exercise and other needs for pets. I have experience with dog walking, drop in visits and providing oral medication, and house sitting with dogs and cats. I volunteered on several farms which had many animals including horses, dogs and cats, sheep, goats, cows and ducks. Every day I fed the animals, milked the goats and tucked in the babies at night, which was the most wholesome and amazing experience I have ever had. I love caring for many different animals, and it is my passion to create a safe, warm and loving environment to make every animal feel comfortable and at home. Under my care I will make sure your fur babies are treated the best they possibly can be and showered with love and affection. I am currently unemployed as I have just moved to Palm Desert, so I have plenty of time to shower your fur babies with love and attention. I currently have open availability morning, day and night and can provide my utmost attention and affection to your sweet pets. I will treat your home with the utmost respect and cleanliness, and treat your fur baby with affection and my full attention. It is my absolute goal to create a safe, comfortable and loving environment for every animal that is under my care. To do this, I tailor my care to the needs of each pet while observing their behavior and actions in every environment to make sure they are comfortable.

Samira T.
“I observed Samira since she was born with her pets. She always had an amazing passion for owning and caring for pets all her life. This passion only grew over the years and became more passionate about her pets. Samira always wanted more and more pets as time went on and because of it, she is now seriously considering becoming a vetrenerian. She cared for her dogs, guinea pigs, birds, turtules, rabbits and her aunt's cat. She lives horses and did horse back riding for years professionally and as pleasure. I would never hesitate having her care for any type of pets.”

Thousand Palms cat parents share their Rover experiences
WOW! 5 STARS and then some! We couldn't be more pleased. And for the record, I'm an "A-type" which is something I don't readily share but for a review involving the care of my "cat child" George, it feels more than appropriate. JoAnn was a hit on all levels. Smart, Kind, Fun, and delivering ATTENTION TO DETAIL at every turn! JoAnn's daily video updates with snippets of play time made our time away all the better and reduced anxiety around leaving George at home. THANK YOU JoANN! Dave (Rancho Mirage, CA)
