“Elaine was an amazing care taker of our dog Jax! She was super communicative and I received pics and updates everyday! I 100% would use Elaine again to watch my dog.”

“Tony was an absolute lifesaver! During our visit to Palm Springs for Pride weekend, we initially booked him for an in-home sitting with about an hour's notice for our 1-year-old Bedlington Terrier, Oliver. When our plans changed last minute, Tony didn’t miss a beat—he offered to pick up Oliver himself. We decided to have him come to our hotel instead, and with just 30 minutes’ notice, he arrived promptly and stayed with Oliver from 10 PM to 3:30 AM. Oliver had a fantastic time with him, and throughout the night, Tony sent us tons of pictures and updates, which really put our minds at ease. We couldn't have asked for a better sitter. We'll definitely hire him again when we're in town!”


About: I’ve been caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities for over 6 years. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to feed, walk, play with, and check in on their pets while they’re away. I’m patient, responsible, and love making pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I also have experience with energetic dogs and keeping pets on their regular routines. I have a flexible schedule and make pet care a priority in my daily routine. I’m available for check-ins, walks, feeding, playtime, and overnight care depending on your pet’s needs. I always make sure pets get plenty of attention, exercise, and care while their owners are away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I carefully follow feeding schedules, medication instructions, and any routines your pet is used to. I make sure pets feel safe, loved, and stress-free in their own environment while keeping owners updated with messages and photos.
“Kevin was great with our two Great Danes. Our two giant dogs get anxious without their daddies and Kevin understood that right away. He observed their behavior and adapted his care to their personalities and needs. We highly recommend Kevin and we would definitely hire him again.”

“Ashurina is a very sweet, very down to earth person. She was totally understanding of what our golden girl needed while we went out. She kept great communication and sent us pics. We're using Rover while we travel, so finding a trusted pet sitter was so important to us. We would definitely book her again, as well as highly recommend her!”


About: I've grown up with dogs, taking care of them regularly. Living in the desert has equipped me with the skills to care for animals in a harsh climate such as constantly providing water, scheduling walks out of the heat, and watching out for wildlife. I also volunteered at an animal shelter while I was in high school where I learned more about the needs of various animals, learning that each have their own personality! I'm currently home for the summer from college, so my hours are very flexible. I am available weekdays and weekends to help with feeding, walking, and just hanging out with your pets! I can easily commute to your home to care for your pet. I'm here to adapt to their needs and ensure that they are happy and healthy!
“Rhondee is fantastic and trustworthy! She is very respectful of our house and property. She always arrived on time and followed through on everything we asked. House was left in the same condition as when we left. Dogs and cat were well-cared for; we were delighted with our choice in Rhondee. She did great by us. Certainly reasonable; did not take advantage of the holidays for house sitting.”

“April was a fantastic dog and cat sitter to our four pets and did a great job looking after our house and resident houseplants when we were away for a week and took in our mail and packages. She gave my dog Lady her heart medication as well. She is also very responsive! I would definitely seek out April again for future trips and would recommend her to others!”


About: I have hands-on experience providing reliable, loving care for dogs and cats, including feeding, walking, administering basic care routines, and maintaining a safe, calm environment. I prioritize each pet’s comfort, routine, and emotional well-being, treating every animal as if they were my own. I’m attentive to behavior cues, patient with all temperaments, and committed to keeping pets happy, healthy, and stress-free while their owners are away. Pet care fits into my daily and weekly routine as a consistent responsibility that I plan around other commitments. On a daily basis, I incorporate feeding, walking, playtime, and check-ins into structured time blocks to ensure pets stay on their normal schedule. Weekly, I schedule pet sitting jobs in advance, allowing time for longer stays, exercise, and maintaining routines like grooming or medication if needed. I prioritize reliability and make sure each pet receives focused attention without rushing or overlap in care. I care for pets in their home by maintaining their normal routine in a familiar, low-stress environment. I follow the owner’s instructions closely for feeding, walks, playtime, medication, and bedtime routines. I make sure pets feel safe and comfortable by giving them consistent attention, affection, and supervision. I also keep their space clean, including litter boxes or outdoor areas, and ensure fresh water is always available. I respect the home by keeping it tidy and secure, and I provide updates so owners have peace of mind while they’re away.
“Barbara was fantastic with Brutus and Brighton. She sent lots of photos, was communicative, flexible when our schedules shifted, and a pleasure to trust in the home. Thanks, Barbara! We will book again soon.”

“Georgia was fantastic with our Belle. She kept her exercised, played with her, and kept her happy. She even stated working with her to keep her more calm when Belle sees other dogs on her walks. I highly recommend Georgia.”

“My gosh what a wonderful young lady she took the most beautiful care of my animals and my home. Erika is a wonderful selection as a house sitter. I will absolutely hire her again.”

“Renee was the best! We're incredibly picky about who cares for our pups and Renee is a gem. Our oldest dog has mobility and incontinence issues, but Renee was nothing but positive and kind to her. She provided us multiple daily updates with photos and videos and left our home in great condition. You can definitely trust her with your beloved doggos and home.”
About: I’m a reliable, caring pet sitter who keeps routines consistent, provides personalized attention, ensures pets feel safe and comfortable, and gives plenty of love, playtime, and companionship. Pet care is part of my daily routine. I have two cats myself, so I prioritize consistent visits, feeding, walks, and attention to keep pets comfortable and safe. While I am not offering boarding or day care at my own home at this time, I am quite responsible in my treatment of other people's property while caring for their pets. I can follow directions, keep gates closed, and follow safety protocols.
“Desiree did an amazing job looking after our little guy. She met with us prior to watching him in our home and eased his nerves. We look forward to working with Desiree again.”

“Jay did a wonderful job with Scout & Moxie! Our pups have never stayed at a kennel because they get pretty anxious in those environments. We recently relocated to the area & we were in search of a new, reliable sitter to stay at our home locally. We are thrilled to have found Jay & know that our girls will be in good hands when we travel again. Thank, Jay!”

“Vanessa was great! Our dog JoJo was so happy while we were away. Vanessa took her on a long hike and sent beautiful pictures. She was easy to communicate with and flexible. We will definitely book with Vanessa again!”

Desert Hot Springs pet parents share their Rover experiences
I had a work trip that needed a dog sitter for a few overnights. Mia, came early the day I left for the airport and stayed with my Pups for the duration of my trip. She walked them daily and sent updated pictures. I appreciate her willingness to keep my babies calm and on their normal routine. I highly recommend Mia for your dog sitter needs.

Mia is the BEST. I've never used Rover and was nervous allowing someone into my home that I didn't know. Mia came by for a drop in visit before I left town and she gave me the best vibes. She sent pictures and kept in great contact with me while I was away. I will definitely be using her again to watch my dog in the near future!
