“Most excellent. Cubsy enjoyed his stay with Matt and Steve. Cubsy is a very social boy and loved having 2 or 3 other dogs to play with while we were gone. He came home tired. A very good sign. Matt provided updates. I also like that they put a tracker on Cubsy during his stay in the unlikely event he got loose. Both Matt and Steve are at home most days so no lack of companionship or supervision.”
“Geri was the best! Don't be fooled by her stern-looking profile photo; she is anything but! Super stylish and kind, with a huge heart. Our Roxy was very happy with her stay with Geri, and her home is beautiful, and every detail was accounted for in making it super doggy friendly. Her lil pup is also very sweet and got along very well with our picky, not-usually-a-dog-person dog, Roxy, which says a lot. Anyway, look no further, we highly recommend choosing Geri for your doggy needs!!”
“Judith was amazing. She was very good at communicating and sent me lots of pictures of my dog (even though my dog is camera shy). She was really flexible and worked with me when my schedule changed a bit. I will be picking to send Vexy to her house next time we need a Rover.”
About: I am a single man who lives alone and loves animals sometimes more than humans.😂 I can’t think of a time in my life where I didn’t have a dog or cat. My pets are my family. I will give your pets the same attention and care as my own. I am pretty much a homebody so I spent a lot of time with my animals. My dogs are leash trained so we go out for walks around three times a day. Unless you request more of us if not there is a place in the backyard for them to go will keep your dogs on whatever diet you request. My apartment is very animal friendly plenty of toys and beds. I am very cautious I don’t have anything that would could be harmful to pets safely put away.
“Emma took wonderful care of my dog. Easy and prompt communication, and she was very accommodating to my drop off and pick up time changes. Super nice as well (she gave me extra poop bags because I ran out!). Will definitely rebook for next time.”
“Pip stayed with Katie for two nights, and I was a little anxious because he had only been away from me for one night previously and is a rescue with a little separation anxiety. Katie was great! She's very responsive and attentive, sent photos and reassured me periodically that they were doing fine. She took good care of him and it's clear that she understands and loves dogs. Thanks, Katie!”
“Very responsive in text. I was incredibly grateful for her taking us on last minute. Very polite my dog loved her and felt comfortable and for a very timid dog that’s saying a lot”
“Emily & Nesha have a lovely home. When we (Ralph & I) entered their place we immediately felt very comfortable. I was very nervous leaving Ralph with people he didn’t know. He was so comfortable that I was a little hurt (: he didn’t make a fuss when I left him. He makes more of a fuss when I leave for the grocery store, so he was definitely happy with Emily & Nesha. They sent lovely photos of him while I was gone. I was able to not worry about him at all while on my trip and that was a wonder feeling. I was able to really enjoy my friends in Chicago. If I need a sitter again I will definitely use them again.”
“Let me begin by writing ✍️ that I normally don't take time to review products or services but this time I feel that I must because of the exceptional care Marlene provided for my doggies, Estrella and Ms. Minnie ▪️The attention to detail, videos and photos provided while I was away on vacation made me feel at such ease knowing that my loving doggies were in great hands▪️ Because of it I didn't have to worry at all and enjoyed my time fully aware they were being taken care of by a loving, caring pet sitter▪️ THANK😊YOU MARLENE and may the Universe bless you with great 🖖health, ☮️ peace and love ❤️”
“I highly recommend Larry! Larry cared for my dog, Oliver for a week while I was traveling to visit my family. I felt immediately at ease upon meeting Larry and seeing his beautiful home. It’s a doggy paradise with lots of room, outdoor spaces and a relaxed environment. Oliver fit right In with Larry’s two beautiful dogs, who were very gracious in inviting a new member into their house. Larry is patient, as Oliver likes to bark at noises and gardeners, or the mail truck, or just to hear himself bark. Taking care of my dog is my number one concern when I’m traveling. I felt completely at ease leaving Oliver in Larry’s care.”
“We left our dog with Mike for an afternoon while visiting Palm Springs. He was amazing to accommodate our extremely last minute request for care. He provided quick and thorough communication. When we arrived he was thoughtful in meeting our dog and making him feel welcome. Blue was right at home in a matter of minutes. I felt completely comfortable leaving him in Mike’s care. I appreciated all the pictures and videos. He even graciously offered to keep Blue longer if needed. Blue came back exhausted and happy from playing!! One of the best Rover experiences we’ve had.”
About: I have two fur babies of my own; my tiny chihuahua and my sweet feline boy, so I truly understand how special and high‑maintenance pets can be. I know how much love, attention, and patience they need, and I’m always happy to provide that same level of care for yours. Whether your pet needs playtime, cuddles, a calm presence, or someone who understands their unique personality, I’m here to help. I treat every animal with kindness and respect, just like I do with my own. I am available all weekdays on the evenings(Weekends when needed). I’m interested in part time, full time and temporary, any accommodations are possible, please ask your questions!! I would prefer pet sitting in their homes, I wouldn’t want them to feel homesick but any accommodations are possible just ask your questions no problem!
About: As a lifelong animal lover, I understand that every pet has a unique personality, routine, and needs. My goal is to provide safe, dependable, and loving care so you can have peace of mind while you're away. As a full-time educator, responsibility, patience, and clear communication are second nature to me. Whether it's daily walks, drop-in visits, overnight care, or simply giving your pet extra attention and affection, I'll treat them like they're my own. I'm comfortable following detailed care instructions, administering medications if needed, maintaining feeding schedules, providing regular exercise, and sending plenty of photo updates so you always know how your pet is doing. I believe pets thrive with consistency, kindness, and lots of love, and I look forward to getting to know both you and your furry family member! Pet care fits naturally into my schedule, and I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. At the moment, I have weekend availability and am accepting bookings, but if you needed some flexibility just communicate and we can work out scheduling. I will provide the same reliable, attentive care and will do my best to accommodate bookings whenever possible. I believe consistency, communication, and making your pet feel safe and loved are the most important parts of every visit. I am currently in apartment living, so regular walks and potty breaks are given. I have a small dog Arlo, so your animal will have a companion here to play with. Dogs are also allowed on the furniture for cuddles or dog beds if they prefer. I have two kennels, so if your pup is kennel trained I will use at your preference.
About: What sets me apart is the genuine love and attention I give every pet in my care. As a dedicated dog mom myself, I understand how important it is to have someone patient, reliable, and truly attentive watching over your fur baby. Whether it’s daily walks, drop-ins, or extended care, I intentionally plan my week to make sure every pet in my care receives dependable attention, patience, and love. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on maintaining their normal routine as closely as possible. I follow all feeding, walking, medication, and household instructions carefully so pets feel secure in their familiar space. I also keep homes tidy and respect each client’s preferences and boundaries.
“Fantastic Dog Sitter!! Julie and her husband went above and beyond expectations. I picked up very happy dogs with the long walks and extra special attention they provided. I very highly recommend!”
About: I grew up around dogs my whole life, I've raised 3 dogs in the past and am now raising 3 more of my own. I don’t like to have more than 2 dogs at a time so I can make sure they’re good taken care of. I am a stay at home mom so I’m here for most of the day, it fits perfectly because I will be here watching over your fur babies. Hello and welcome! All dogs are our family! I have 3 dogs of my own who have their own room where they sleep in. Every morning we take them go out to the backyard to go potty. If your dog isn't friendly to other dogs no need to worry I will make sure my dogs are not outside and no where near them. I let them run around here in my house as well and I also have a doggy gate in my hallway where they can lay down and relax.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Cathedral City
Would come back again! I had to go out of town for several days so this was my first time leaving our dog in the care of others for multiple days. Cookie was taken care of like she was one of Ari's own dogs. I appreciated the updates. Cookie was often cuddling with Ari or spending time with other dogs. It's typically a really good sign when Cookie is cuddling with an adult. She felt safe. I appreciated Ari's genuine kindness, steadiness and down to earth personality. I felt at ease communicating with Ari. I will be coming back again for Cookie's care in the future. Thank you so much Ari!
We had a great experience with Michael and Ashley caring for our Willow. The thoughtfulness in accommodating our schedule as well as providing daily walks, sending pictures/videos and updates were very appreciated. Our dog came home happy and relaxed which was a great sign she was cared for nicely.
We are so happy that we found Corrine! After visiting with her at our meet and greet, we felt very confident she would be an excellent caregiver for our dog. We left Ollie there for 5 nights and Corrine was good at communicating with pics and updates during his stay. When we picked him up, he was calm and relaxed. Thanks Corrine, see you next time.
Our Pet sitter backed out at last minute-looked online and found Rover-Called three numbers and all three answered back in a timely manor. After interviewing all 3, only one, Mary could accommodate our needs. After meting Mary, we knew she was the perfect person for our dog and immediately made our reservation. Mary was the BEST! We are so grateful she was able to care for our dog. I would highly reccommend her to anyone who has a dog big or small. Our dog is over 70 pounds and she did a perfect job. Thank You so much for your service.
Angelica took wonderful care of our sweet little Ivy, who had never been left alone with a dog sitter, other than friends and family. Angelica was kind and loving, recognizing that Ivy was initially a bit out of sorts and a wee bit nervous. Thank you Angelica for giving Ivy lots of love while we were away. It made our trip so much easier! 😊
Bunny was so kind and patient with my pup right from the start. She made him feel comfortable and loved and I could tell my pup felt right at home. She sent pictures and updates as well which was so nice and much appreciated. She’s professional and communicative and I will 1000% use her again. 10 out of 10.

Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Cathedral City home-away-from-home, packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Cathedral City.
<b>Tip:</b> You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.

While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in CA ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.

Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
