“Lynn did a great job with Yogi! She has a nice place with a great patio where Yogi enjoyed hanging out with her dog, Lucy. Lynn gave Yogi some exercise with walks and visiting the dog park. She was also great about sending updates and pictures regularly. We look forward to using her services again in the future!”
“Matthew has a beautiful home with a great dog-friendly back yard. He took great care of our two girls - one has a resource guarding issue at meal times. Matthew handed that without issue. We will definitely book with him again.”
“Jackson and his home was a great and safe place for us to leave our puppy, Monty. Monty was tired and happy when we came to collect, which was the sign of a great time! Jackson and his family are well versed in all things dog care and both super responsive and accommodating to all timing needs. Would throughly recommend to anyone looking to leave their four legged children in good hands.”
“Bandit really enjoyed his stay with Ken once he came out of the bushes. Guess he was quite timid at first but then became the fun entertaining terrier that he is!! Will definitely have Ken take care of Bandit in th future.”
“Alan & Joe are great pet sitters. We did a meet & greet and then I left my dog with them over a long weekend. My dog was very happy with them and I appreciated the daily pictures. They communicated quickly and effectively as well. I highly recommend Alan & Joe and would definitely use them again!”
“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!!”
“Katie and her daughter were simply amazing! Our puppy loved them! They played with her, rubbed her ears, and took care of her in such a calm, loving way. Seriously the best Rover Betty sitter we ever had.”
“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.”
“If you find yourself in need of a dog sitter in Palm Springs, then Vincent (Antonio) is your guy! He was so sweet to our pooch. We could not have found a better person to watch Beau. He even has a nice backyard space for the dogs to roam around. We would definitely use him again if we are in Palm Springs. His house is also very close to downtown which worked perfectly for us.”
“Mary is truly a godsend. My doggy boarding place shut down and I had never used to Rover app before. It took a minute from meeting Mary to know that I found the perfect person to watch and care for my fur-baby Gigi. She is great about updating with notes and photos of your dogs stay and I know after one stay that Mary is the best!”
“Kevin was great. His communication was fabulous keeping us posted on our little boy. He even sent pictures, which we really appreciated. I would definitely recommend him to anyone who wants to know their pet is in good 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.”
“Jennifer took great care of my baby girl 🐶 (PomChi) while I was away for a few days for work. I got regular pictures and updates that let me know my baby was doing well. Will definitely be rebooking as my dog clearly enjoyed herself during her stay— Jennifer has a clean safe home and lovely dog Stella and I think my little girl made a friend! She was exhausted when we got home so I know she had a good time!”
“Shelly was wonderful and our Sadie couldn’t have been more relaxed and comfortable. Did a great job of keeping us updated with messaging and photos to keep our minds at ease as we were away from our girl. Look forward to seeing her again. ?????”
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.
“I'm not used to leaving my dog with other people. I have a wonderful German Shepherd, but he's moma's boy. I think his day was as good as it could be. He had wonderful friends to play with and made some good buddies, which are her dogs so anytime he goes back those good buddies will be there. I think she did a great job I'm really pleased and yes, we'll go again! Trish and Keko”
The median cost per night for dog boarding in Cathedral City is $63
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Cathedral City
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.
