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

“Hands down the best experience so far with Rover. Victoria was exceptional. She was recommended to me and let this be my recommendation to anyone desiring drop-in visits. Her updates were thorough and detailed. Even the pictures had captions added to make it fun and informative. The love and care she had for our dogs and respect for us and our home was evident.”

About: I’ve always loved animals my whole life and grew up taking care of cats and dogs. I’ve pet sat for family and friends many a times. I’m very good a training puppies as well as caring for older pets. These last couple of years i’ve pet sat a lot more and have gained a good amount of experience! 🤍 I’m currently working part-time as well as being a full time college student but I will have plenty of time to drop in and make sure your pets are doing well! I can work around my work and school schedule to drop in before and after if need be. I want to make sure your pets feel comfortable and safe in their own home so i’ll be sure to stay with their normal routine. I’m very patient and equipped to handle different medication or special routines. I understand that it can be scary leaving your pets in someone else’s hands but I want to reassure you that you can count on me to make sure that your pets are being cared for properly. I respect your home and their space and will keep you updated with how your pets are doing after each visit. I want your mind to be at ease while you’re away and your pets to be safe and happy!

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 grew up in an animal-loving family. We raised chickens, dogs, cats, birds, turtles, rabbits, etc together. That is where my fondness for furry, scaly, and feathery friends began. Since then, I have taken it upon myself to learn more about them, and work with them. I have taken classes on Animal Health and Care, have volunteered at the Pet Rescue Center in Coachella, and domesticated feral cats in my neighborhood. My skills include, but are not limited to: nursing puppies, potty-training cats, giving oral medication, and bathing. I am available to take care of your fur-babies Monday through Sunday, from 7am-6pm. I am an artist that gets to create her own schedule! So, as long as I don’t have an event planned, I am free, free, free! I do my best to create a connection with dogs and cats to help them feel safe with me. Once they do, we get forward with cuddles and play-time!

“Mona was an angel. We have an 18-year-old almost fully blind dog who is never left alone and we were terrified about leaving him with someone we didn’t know.. Mona came to our hotel and spent three days taking care of Ziggy while we were out having fun and relaxing. From the moment she walked in the room we knew she’d be a great fit.. She’s very responsible, kind, caring and attentive.. She took pictures and made sure to keep in contact with us throughout the day at our request. When it came time OK for her to leave Ziggy tried to follow her out!!! we will definitely be using her again and I highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for a pet sitter. Mona, we thank you so very much. You’re amazing.!”

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.

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!

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Thousand Palms

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Thousand Palms on Rover is $26.64 per visit (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 765 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Thousand Palms. 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 Thousand Palms 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 Thousand Palms. On Rover:

  • 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 97% 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.

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.
