“Samantha was very responsive, sent pictures and a video of my dog, and was very kind and generous when I was late for dropping off and picking up my dog. The home and backyard was a great environment for my siberian husky and she was great to work with. I would absolutely recommend her help to anyone needing a dog sitter if you're in the area.”
“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!!”
“What a great dog boarding experience. The host was so friendly, and made us and our dog feel right at home. He was well taken care of and we would definitely have him stay with the host again. Thank you!”
“Nuvea was amazing! She’s super nice and took such good care of my two dogs while I was away. They looked so happy and relaxed when I picked them up. She really treated them like her own, and that means so much to me. I’ll definitely be bringing them back next time — highly recommend her! 🐶💖”
“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!”
“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.”
“Viviana and her husband were the kindest and perfect dog watchers. Their home is very cute and you know from meeting them once that your dogs are in good hands. Good communication and ease throughout. 10/10 recommend.”
“This was Whiskey’s second stay with Alan and Joe, and he absolutely loved it! Alan and Joe do an amazing job of making you feel at ease and completely comfortable leaving your fur baby in their care. We will definitely have Whiskey stay with them again. He loves them, and we couldn’t be happier with the care they provide!”
About: I love small dogs they have the biggest hearts! I’ve had pets since I was kid and have helped others with pet care needs 😀 I recently retired and have lots of extra time and thought what a better way to spend my time! Taking care of small dogs ! I have a fenced yard and plenty of room in the house for your fury baby to roam. I have no other pets at the moment so yours will have my full attention.
“Lacey was amazing. She went all out for my dog. She sent updates and pictures. My dog enjoyed every minute. You couldn't get a better pet sitter. I would highly recommend her. I will definitely have her pet sit my dog again.”
“Osamu was just excellent, providing many photos and videos of Bobo's stay with him. Bobo oriented to Sam (Osamu) within a day and was very affectionate, and was rewarded with lots of lap time and pets. He was very happy as the photos and videos showed, which was a great relief for me. Thank you for the love and care for Bobo Sam!”
“Elaine was great taking care of our 2 dogs overnight. One was a newly rescued dog and we weren’t sure how she would get on at a new place. Turns out she was calm and relaxed at Elaine’s home and had a good time!”
“April took care of my dog Leo for almost two weeks. She sent updates of Leo playing and being so happy! When I picked Leo up, I could tell he didn’t want to leave. Thank you April for taking such good care of my pup when we were gone :)”
“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.”
“Carl took amazing care of my pup!! He was very professional and had a lovely home. My dog got along well with his pups, and he played with her as if she was one of his own. I fully intend to use Carl again in the future!”
“Our 2 year old Basset, Odie, had the time of his life. He and Todd and his 2 Shih Tzu bonded instantly. Video updates showed how much Odie was enjoying his stay. Thank you Todd. Absolutely the best!”
“Our boy has had such great TLC on this trip, and we cannot thank Rose enough for all the pics, updates, and snuggles she provided! We are also thankful to Rose for being so accommodating when our plans changed a bit.”
“I’m not sure what I can say that hasn’t already been said about Mike and Stephen. They were awesome to work with. We kept changing our times for drop off and pick up and they were extremely accommodating. During their stay Mike sent several pics and videos of the dogs having a great time. We are really happy we found them to watch our pups and highly recommend them!”

Trust me everyone you will love her . Our doggie came back to us so so so relaxed and calm. And happy. Thank you Viviana L 🫶🏾❤️🐶🩷🙏😃✅😘
Alfonso is great! He is super chill and very friendly. Communication with him was great, he is responsive and provided lots of pics and videos of Jimmy! These will come in handy to help him find his forever home. He was incredibly flexible l, especially with the last minute request. I will definitely book with him in the future whenever im out of town.
I can’t say enough about Gilbert . His home and his compassion for animals is 100% 5 stars. It was our first time leaving out big boy and I can honestly say I will be using Gilbert again. Gilbert took such amazing care of Tucker and actually spent quality time with him exercising him which is something that is very important to us . If you need someone you can trust to love your fur baby then look no further .

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Desert Hot Springs on Rover is $43.05 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Boarding easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 411 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Desert Hot Springs. 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.
90% of Desert Hot Springs 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 Desert Hot Springs 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 Desert Hot Springs 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 Hot Springs.
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 Desert Hot Springs 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.
