“Sierra was super great and communicative throughout the entire interaction, from prior to dropping our dog off at her house and during our dogs stay. She sent messages and updates throught and was very quick to respond. Thank you Sierra for caring for our doggy so well. We appreciate you so much knowing our dog was in good and caring hands.”
“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.”
“I was so glad that Maggie was available to take care of my doggy again on my recent visit to Palm Desert. I think Chalie remembered what a nice time he had the last time he stayed there because he wagged his tail and did not even look back as Maggie walked him to her home. Indeed, he got lots of love and attention from Maggie’s son and seemed very happy on all the pictures she sent. I hope to use her services again next time I am in Palm Desert. I highly recommend her.”
“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!!”
“Gloria, Was wonderful with our two Cockers for 7 days. She updated us twice a day with pictures and also sent message when she need to adjust food or clean our dogs ears. We have other booking with Gloria. We both can't wait to see her and her Husband again. Tamera & Roy Mlakar ( Daisy and Char)”
“Alice did an excellent job with our dogs. It was our second time using her. We were gone for ten days for our wedding and felt very comfortable knowing they were in her hands. When our flight was delayed last night she was kind enough to drop them home at no charge so that our babies would be there on arrival. We will definitely use her again!”
“I booked a two-week vacation and needed someone truly special to care for my dog, Ella. Most kennels in the area have no dog limits and don’t separate by size. Not the right fit for my sweet, slightly bougie girl! Matthew offered the perfect blend of comfort, safety, and home-style care. His house is pet-friendly and charming, with a doggy door to the front patio and another to the back, so Ella could choose where to lounge. He limits the number of dogs he watches, sent regular photos and updates, and was wonderfully flexible with drop-off and pick-up times. Ella looked so happy and relaxed in every picture. It gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. I couldn’t recommend Matthew more highly, and I’ll definitely be rebooking with him in the future!”
“very accommodating she sent me lots of pictures and updates of my fur babies you can tell she loves animals and they love her, I would most definitely use her again! ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️”
“This was our first time using Rover instead of boarding and our experience was fantastic. Brandon sent texts twice a day with pictures on how Lola was doing. We were able to enjoy our stay in palm springs without worrying about Lola. If we stay in palm springs again we will definitely use again.”
“Absolutely the best. I have a difficult dog, and Candace was extremely confident and loving with her. I have full peace of mind when she's watching my dog. Thank you Candace!”
“Amazing job looking after our Weimaraner while we were out on holiday for a week. So flexible and understanding when our flight got delayed, and kept us updated with pics. Thank you again Whitney and Justin you guys are the best!”
“Thank you so much Erin & Alex! Thank you for letting Tobi stay with you guys in your home. We were kept up-to-date with messages and photos throughout the weekend. I could tell Tobi had a fantastic time with you both and look forward to using you guys next time!”
“Why can’t we give six stars?! Elizabeth went well above and beyond taking care of our young 4 month old puppy Daisy! She sent constant photos and updates, helped her a ton with her potty training and took her for walks! If Elizabeth is available we will be choosing her to watch Daisy from now on. Can’t recommend her enough!!”
“Awesome with my older Great Dane! He loves going here. Megan is so sweet to try and comfort him when he gets anxious being away from mom & dad. We’ve used her a few times already and have another trip planned next month. We feel Cooper’s in excellent hands with Megan!”
“This was our dog’s second stay with Luz. It was clear they loved their 6 day stay. Bee Bee add River looked great when we picked them up…happy and comfortable. Not sure they were ready to go! Luz’s well kept home and safe, spacious property offer a wonderful stay for dogs! She is a kind and warm pet sitter. I highly recommend Luz!”
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.
“Samantha was so lovely and responsive, with much dog expertise! She made sure Oswald felt right at home and I would highly recommend her for anyone needing to board their dog! Thanks Samantha!”
“Sam and his partner Darrell took such great care of our little 14-year-old Chihuahua, Bentley. We could not have asked for more caring, understanding and attention for our little guy who has heart difficulties and is on three medications. We received multiple pictures daily and assurances that he was eating and all was well! We had so much peace of mind the week of our daughters wedding in Palm Springs, knowing our little guy was in such great hands. We will be calling on Sam each time we go to the desert now, instead of worrying about what to do for dog sitting. They are the kings of little dogs!❣️?❣️??”

Araceli is wonderful! This is the second time she’s watched our pup, and I will always book her whenever I’m in the Palm Springs area. I wish we lived closer because I would book her all the time! She’s friendly, communicative, and I really appreciate all the updates while we’re away. She’s the best, and I highly recommend her! ❤️
Matthew has been watching my dog, Ella, since I moved to the Coachella Valley. It’s such a comfort knowing I can go on vacation and Ella is being treated like part of his family. His calm, gentle nature has a positive effect on her, and I can tell when I pick her up. it gives me real peace of mind knowing Matt is taking such good care of my sweet girl.
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! 😊

Every sitter on Rover has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
92% of Cathedral City sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Cathedral City landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Cathedral City home-away-from-home, we recommend 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.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Cathedral City sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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.
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 .
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.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. 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.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
