“Judith was great! Our little boy seemed to have a great time with Judith. When we picked him up, of course he was overjoyed to see us, but them when we were about to pull away, he had his head out the window as if to say, "aren't you coming with us, too?" Judith sent us pictures and notes of assurance that all was good. A+”
“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!!”
“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: I’ve cared for pets since I was a child, including dogs, cats, bunnies, hamsters, and snakes. Animals have always held a special place in my heart. I am available every day, including weekdays and weekends so I have plenty of time to give your pets the attention care and companionship they deserve. My home has a brick fence, a garden, multiple outdoor doors, and plenty of space. I also have a clean, air conditioned home and a friendly senior dog.
“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.”
About: I have always grownup with dogs. I currently own 3 dogs and I love being outdoors. Adventures with my pets are always amazing. I feel great joy anytime I hangout with pets. I currently work as an electrical designer engineer. I also run an Airbnb with my partner and we both do Rover together. I work from home Wednesday through Friday. Saturday and Sunday my schedule is flexible. I have a fully fenced home this includes the front of house as well. The outside of the house has cameras to ensure the property is safe. We also have outdoor lighting. We also have two separate backyards one for our pets and the other for your furry friends.
“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.”
“Todd was amazing with Harper! He said one of his dogs fell in love with Harper and followed her everywhere, which made me feel so go! I will definitely take her to have Todd watch her again! He is amazing!!”
“She was great, she allowed me to meet her before the date. Made me feel comfortable leaving my baby girl with her. Sent me photos and feedback daily to let me know how she was doing. April was great!!”
“The highest compliment I can give is that Maggie took care of my dogs the way I would. Maggie's care of Slim and Olga was warm and engaging. Daily exercise, a great fenced area, and lots of attention from both Maggie and her delightful son were offered. Highly recommended!”
“Chad was awesome. He sent daily updates with photos (which always excited my kids) and was very easy and accommodating to my schedule for drop off and pick up. Highly recommend!!!”
“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.”
“Francis took amazing care of my pug puppy who had never been boarded before. She kept me updated throughout the days with fun pictures, kept my puppy well occupied with walks, cute games and treats! She groomed and bathed him and thoroughly pampered him. I felt such peace of mind knowing my puppy was in such secure and caring hands. Thank you, Francis R. 💖”
About: I am a single man who lives alone and loves animals sometimes more than humans.😂 I can’t think of a time in my life where I didn’t have a dog or cat. My pets are my family. I will give your pets the same attention and care as my own. I am pretty much a homebody so I spent a lot of time with my animals. My dogs are leash trained so we go out for walks around three times a day. Unless you request more of us if not there is a place in the backyard for them to go will keep your dogs on whatever diet you request. My apartment is very animal friendly plenty of toys and beds. I am very cautious I don’t have anything that would could be harmful to pets safely put away.
“Katie took wonderful care of my special needs dog in a short notice situation. She was very easy to communicate and was flexible with me on pick up and drop off. She sent me lots of pictures during my dog's stay and checked in with me often. I can't recommend her enough! Most people would not open their home to a medical special needs dog but Katie did without a second thought. Thanks again for the wonderful experience. So grateful to have found you”
“It was such a great feeling to know that Karma Blue was so well taken care of . She was treated to a beautiful home with a spacious tall fenced backyard, and I was treated to knowing she was being cared for by a responsible pet lover.”

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 of Dog Boarding in Desert Hot Springs is $43 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $28 and $67 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 412 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 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.
95% of sitters in Desert Hot Springs can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this 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 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.
