“We had a great experience with Alice this past weekend! She were caring, communicative, and made us feel very comfortable leaving our dogs in her care. We received updates and photos throughout the stay, and our pup came back happy and well taken care of. Definitely recommend!”
“I contacted Matthew at the very last minute to see if he could board my dog starting that very same day - 3 hours notice. My husband and I were at a pet friendly vrbo with our two dogs and found out that they would only allow one. He got back to me right away and was able to accommodate me. He and his partner took in our rambunctious rescue Dachshund Hans and took excellent care of him all weekend. Hans has high energy and separation anxiety and they were undaunted by that. They have a lovely home with a big back yard and two adorable dogs of their own who were great playmates. Photos they sent showed fun times and some good cuddling with the humans. I can't recommend these gents enough and will always get in touch with them when we come to the Palm Springs area with our pooches.”
“Michael was great on all counts…communications, responsiveness, photo updates…all of it. And Louie seemed to enjoy his time at his new Rover, found because we moved. We already have a week long stay booked and are thrilled that we will feel better about our travel knowing Louie is in good hands.”
“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!!”
“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!”
“What a great boarding experience! Lexi and Abel had a wonderful time during their 3 night stay. We were very pleased with how our babies were treated like family and would definitely use them again.”
“We were so fortunate to have Aricela watch our foster dog when we had to travel out of the area u expectedly. She accommodated a last minute meet & greet and patiently listened to everything we knew about the dog. She was kind in her interactions with our pup. When we took him back to board he was like a confident kindergartner…one look over his shoulder and away he went! She kept us apprised of how he was doing & send photos to validate it. Thank you so much Araceli.”
“Jackson took excellent care of our little dog for overnight boarding. He was available on short notice on a holiday weekend, and always responded quickly to my questions and inquiries. He has a great home and our dog looked comfortable and well cared for. He sent photo updates as well. All of this put our minds at ease. I later learned that Jackson also does grooming. I highly recommend Jackson and will be utilizing his services again when we are in the area and also I will refer him to my family and friends.”
“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 very attentive and wanted to make sure he kept our pups’ routine the same. he was patient with our nervous pup. his pups were excellent with our dogs too. he is very responsive. would book with kevin again!”
“We recently left our 11 year old Goldendoodle (Bodhi),in the care of Alan & Joe,and it couldn’t have been better. From the minute we met them,we ALL felt comfortable,especially, Bodhi! Don’t hesitate if your thinking of utilizing Alan & Joe’s services…they’re really top notch!”
“Brandon was wonderful with my dog during an overnight stay. He provided great communication and regular updates, which gave me peace of mind. It’s clear he’s both knowledgeable and kind—my dog was in excellent hands.”
“Larry was awesome. Our dog was happy and well taken care of while we were gone. Larry had all our dog’s stuff ready to go when we arrived to pick him up, which made our travel day smoother.”
“My Bernedoodle- Hattie had the best time with “Bo” the sitter, and Oreo the dog! I had my dog groomed before dropping her off, and they split her nail when trimming it. Bo, immediately put a clear cone of shame on her. And kept cleaning the area up and applied bedydine on the area. I picked her up last night, she was happy but limping. Took her to her Vet this afternoon, the Vet said, everything he did helped with a great outcome! Thank you Bo & Oreo! We will see you soon!”
“Sierra consistently provides a loving and fun home and huge lovely yard for our 15 month old dog, who has been staying with her since he was a puppy. Now when we drop him off he doesn't even look back to say goodbye! Is wonderful to know he is so well cared for and loves going there!”
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!
“Katie was beyond amazing. She took great care of my furbaby while I was out of state for several days. I was so anxious to leave Brownie with a stranger, but Katie constantly provided me a peace of mind by sending me tons of pictures. I felt so bad when Brownie made a scene when Katie tried to leave him by himself for a very short amount of time to run the errand, so she eventually had to cancel and stay with him all the time during his stay. I felt so sorry, but she was so kind and told me that puppies can be like Brownie when in a strange place. She was very patient with Brownie, and I really appreciate it. She is the perfect person that you can rely on when you can't take care of your furbaby by yourself.”

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! 😊

As of July 2026, there are 399 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Cathedral City. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
