“Our dog, Frizzle, seemed to have a great stay! It was clear that Lacey cares very much about the dogs in her care. We would definitely have Frizzle stay with Lacey on our next trip out to Joshua Tree!”
“Alice was amazing. We left our 3 dogs in her care for a week while on a cross country trip. Her home is perfectly set up to keep animals safe and we felt completely comfortable with her.”
“We miss Ashley! She took great care of our dogs whenever we needed to leave town. She truly spoiled them and treated them as her own. They also enjoyed playing with her dogs and running around her backyard. Highly recommend if you’re in the 29/JT area or even vacationing out there.”
“I am so grateful for Monica. My little one is not the easiest and Monica made sure the meat and greet went well and took wonderful care of my baby. I’m so glad I found her. It made going to a wedding in another state much more bearable.”
“Felice is the best pet sitter. That's why as you can see I've used her multiple times. She always goes above and beyond to care for my dog. My dog loves being with her. Highly recommend her.”
“Ann was very attentive to our dogs needs when I dropped him off and picked him up. Her dog Buddy loved playing with ours and vice versa. If you need a dog sitter who enjoys loving on and caring for your pet, Ann is your girl! She’s was so welcoming!”
“I’ve lost count of the number of times Oscar has stayed with Rejoice & Francis, but he’s always SO thrilled when he sees them because he knows he’s in for a fun time. I always feel so reassured leaving Oscar in their care, and I receive so many cute and funny photos of him so that I won’t miss him too much. Thank you so much for caring for Oscar and being so awesome to us! ❤️”
“Nuvea was amazing! She has a great place and a real understanding of and attention to the needs of pets! She was so nice to work with and was incredibly understanding and accommodating when I messed up the dates of my trip and we had to extend our puppy’s stay! We will definitely be using her again!”
“I can't thank you enough, Shawna! This was smudge's first boarding experience and it was clear that he felt safe, confident, and happy the whole time. I had a lot going on this trip and not worrying about him made a massive difference. I appreciate how accommodating, attentive, and thorough you are with pick-up and drop-off, care, and updates. Would definitely book again!”
About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life, and caring for them has always come naturally to me🤍 I have two dogs of my own and experience with breeds of all sizes, especially large and giant breeds. I’ve care for many friends’ and family’s dogs over the years, including reactive dogs. Work from home so your pet will receive plenty of attention, supervision, and companionship throughout the day. I’m very attentive , and always put your dog’s safety and comfort first, treating every pet as if they were my own💖 I live on base and offer boarding and drop-in visits, making it convenient for families and others in the area. I’d love the opportunity to give you peace of mind while your pet enjoys a safe, loving home away from home! I work from home full-time so all dogs have full-time supervision! My hours are flexible for all drop ins. Boarding pups get walked morning and night and potty breaks in the afternoon as needed I have a fenced yard and two friendly dogs to keep your baby company. There is also 2 gated dog areas in house for any dogs that like their personal space 💕
“Louella is an absolute dream of a dog sitter. She is so kind, sweet, gentle and friendly. She’s also responsible and has excellent communication skills. Her house and yard are beautiful and dog friendly. She took pictures of Bek and gave me updates (he always looked super happy and relaxed) which was great. I also felt like I could relax and be completely present on my vacation, which is a rare feeling when you have someone else looking after your pup. Can’t speak highly enough!”
“Larry took great care of our pet. This is my first time using a sitter instead of boarding and she was much happier and received his undivided attention. Lots of photos and great communication.”
“Grey was wonderful with Alfie. From the start she was super friendly and easy to communicate with, and she kept us updated with photos, which really put us at ease. Alfie looked so comfortable and happy with her. She seems like a genuinely kind person who loves animals, and we felt really lucky to have found her. We’d absolutely recommend Grey to anyone looking for someone caring and trustworthy looking after their fur babies : )”
“Salina was amazing! I needed a sitter last minute and she was totally accommodating. I could tell my pups were well loved and she sent over tons of photos. I would definitely recommend if you’re looking for someone in the area!”
“Taurawa was INCREDIBLE! I cannot believe I found such a perfect caretaker for my dogs through rover. Her property is absolutely gorgeous and my dogs had the best time staying there. She’s so caring, knowledgeable, and thoughtful. I can’t wait to take my dogs to stay with her the next time I’m in Joshua tree.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, daily exercise may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Desert Heights 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 Desert Heights.
<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.
You and your Desert Heights 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.
