CJ is awesome! I thoroughly appreciated the thoughtful updates, and could see my dog falling in love with her! She’s got brilliant animal EQ, and it was so reassuring that he was being taken care of by such a considerate person. I came home to a very happy and content pup. She’s truly a gem and I’ll absolutely be booking her again!! 🫶

About: I have two amazing fur babies of my own Stella and Lily who are my whole world. I absolutely love all animals and currently going to school for psychology to hopefully work with animals more in the future. I have taken care of many dogs and cats before house sitting, overnights and dog walking. I have also always had a fur baby of my own and have fostered a few times. I love that I found this app to help people with their fur babies. I currently go to school online for psychology and if need to go do overnights I can easily take my laptop with me. Pretty much have open availability if you have any questions feel free to ask I pay very close attention my eyes never leave the dogs site even in a fenced yard. They are just like kids. You always have to keep your eyes on them. For housesitting, I will treat your home with respect make sure all the doors are locked and everything is secured. I will also love and take care of your pets like they are my own. You will never have to worry I will make sure the house is as clean as I found it. I am a very trustworthy person and always on time and go above and beyond. If needed I will update with pictures and videos of your fur babies.

Kyla was wonderful with my dog Storm! Storm took a liking to her right away. Kyla was able to make sure Storm got a potty break and lots of loves, cuddles, and some treats while I was at work. Definitely recommend Kyla and would book with her again!

About: What sets me apart as a sitter is my ability to cater to pets of all ages and needs, including providing patient care for senior pets and gentle, consistent training for puppies. I also have a keen eye for recognizing changes in behavior or health, ensuring your pet’s well-being is always my top priority. I’m a coach during the middle of the day, but mornings and nights i’m available. I’m also usually completely open on weekends. I can adjust to your schedule as needed. When caring for pets in my home, I provide a safe, pet-friendly environment with plenty of space to play and relax, along with a consistent routine to ensure comfort and stability. In a client’s home, I follow their specific care instructions closely, maintaining the pet’s usual schedule for feeding, exercise, and attention, so they feel secure and stress-free in their familiar surroundings.

About: My experience with dogs is Taking care of them involves much more than just feeding and walking; it’s about forging a deep, trusting bond with each individual form small to big.I previously worked at PetSmart, where I gained hands-on experience caring for a variety of animals including cats, dogs, reptiles, birds, and small pets. That role helped me develop strong skills in animal handling, feeding, cleaning, and monitoring health and behavior. Now, I work at an animal shelter where I primarily care for many cats and dogs. My responsibilities include ensuring they are fed, exercised, kept in a clean and safe environment, and shown compassion while they wait for adoption. This experience has strengthened my dedication to animal welfare and expanded my ability to provide care for animals in need. I’m currently in college working on becoming a vet one day, I love animals since I was kid so I always enjoy spending time with animals. I have 3 friendly dogs form small to big with so much space around to play and have fun they are always taken care of always feed and behaved well

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.

Shiori was great! She looked after our elderly German Shepherd mix who requires multiple medications in his food and even though he’s elderly, sometimes he can be a handful and Shiori charmed him. Highly recommend. Very lovely and respectful person as well.

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.

About: Growing up with multiple pets sparked my passion for animal care, and I’ve been officially caring for dogs for the past four years. Friends and family regularly entrust me with their pets, whether they’re away or unable to meet their pet’s needs. I have experience with dogs of various ages, from playful puppies as young as 3 months to senior dogs up to 12 years old. Although I work part-time, I prioritize pet care in my daily routine. I ensure consistent feeding, cleaning, and observation, and I maintain a flexible routine to consistently meet the animals’ needs throughout the week. I understand that pets can sometimes feel anxious when their owners are away, so I focus on making them feel safe and comfortable in their environment. I also like to gather information about each pet’s preferences, such as their favorite spots to relax and activities they enjoy, to help create a familiar and reassuring experience.

I met Megan for the meet and greet for her to drop in to check on my cat while we were out of town for a few days and I immediately trusted her. I appreciate her excellent communication and as a bonus she took great photos of my cat which made me feel even more at ease. She was super helpful and followed all care requests perfectly. I will definitely be rebooking!

Megan took very good care of my little Bisquit, a kitten like cat! Bisquit loves to play, and Megan played with her, kept up with the litter box, fed her, washed her dishes, all of that. What i lived the most was she won bisquit's heart and bisquit came out of hiding.I think the next visit, maybe even the first. That never happened before! It was most important to me that my little cat would feel some love and safety, and not feel alone. And Megan did that perfect, and she did the normal stuff too very nicely. I will ask Megan to help us out again.

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Thousand Palms

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Thousand Palms on Rover is $17.76 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 310 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Thousand Palms. 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 Thousand Palms. On Rover:

  • 95% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 96% 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.
