“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.”


About: Dogs have always found their way to me. I've been around them most of my life, and there's something about calm, consistent energy that they seem to respond to. A friend would tell you I'm the person dogs gravitate toward at a party, and I'd say that's probably the most honest qualification I can offer. My most meaningful experience came with my own rescue, a shepherd mix I adopted at 7 months, trained from scratch, and cared for through 15 years of life, including her final year as a senior dog with mobility needs. I became practiced at daily medication administration, wound care, and the kind of patient, attentive routine that older dogs need. Senior dogs are a specialty I genuinely enjoy and take seriously. I work from home full-time, which means your dog won't spend the day alone. I'm here, present, and engaged — great for dogs with separation anxiety or those who simply do better with a steady human nearby. I take one dog (or one bonded pair) at a time, so your pet gets real individual attention. My home in Palm Springs is clean, quiet, and comfortable with direct access to a large greenway for on-leash walks right from my back patio. I know the desert schedule well, so in warmer months walks happen early morning or evening when it's safe and comfortable. I have a car and am happy to help with pickup or dropoff when needed. I'm comfortable with oral medications, mobility assistance, and dogs with special routines. My home is single-level — no stairs. I prefer dogs to sleep on their own bed or the floor (I'll have a comfortable spot ready), and I take one guest at a time to keep things calm and personal. Meet-and-greets are always welcome before a booking.
“This is the 2nd time I’ve used Tony and I happily recommend him. He and Audry took great care of Frankie keeping me updated with photos, videos and texts daily to let me know how she was doing. He has a great place and it’s right across the street from a nice grassy park so that was a bonus. I’ll definitely use Tony again in the future.”


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.
“Luz sent me pictures of my senior dog sleeping, walking on a brick path, smelling grass, and roaming in a wooded area. I could tell that Cici was happy and that she was in good hands boarding at Luz's property! I appreciated that I didn't have to worry about her.”

“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!”


“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!!!”
“Aprils been amazing taking care of my kitty gorgeous she’s worked and working with me during a very rough time in my life and has been super friendly the entire time even letting me come by to visit her if I wished”

“This was my first time boarding my dog so I wasn’t sure what to expect. Dennis exceeded all expectations! He was very communicative, sent photos and videos regularly, and generally took great care of Uni. If we are ever in Palm Springs again I would 100% rebook.”


“Alexis is a phenomenal sitter!! She sent so many updates for our Conrad and followed all instructions for him perfectly! I'm so thrilled with the love she provided him during his stay and I felt at ease knowing he was in great hands! I highly recommend Alexis! We will be bringing Conrad back next time we are in the palms springs area!”

“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.”

“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 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.”

“David (and Bill as well) took such great care of Hazel while we were vacationing in the area. As soon as we arrived, they welcomed her and showed us around. Any “first time visit” concerns were immediately put to rest. David updated us with texts and photos and took her on multiple walks. It was a relief knowing our girl was in good hands and that we could enjoy ourselves. I highly recommend David and wouldn’t hesitate to book a visit with him again! :)”

“Emma took wonderful care of my dog. Easy and prompt communication, and she was very accommodating to my drop off and pick up time changes. Super nice as well (she gave me extra poop bags because I ran out!). Will definitely rebook for next time.”

“Buddy’s stay with Kat and her family was truly exceptional. He got tons of loving from all of the family members. They played with him a bunch and even took him on some runs. Every photo they sent he looked extremely happy in. I was actually a bit worried he might not want to go home with me. Kat was great with communicating and flexible with the pickup and drop off times. I would definitely use her again.”

“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.”

“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. 💖”

“Larry was very kind and responsive to us in regard to arranging for the boarding of our larger dog. He shared some details while she was there and included some photographs. Very helpful in this, our first use of Rover or this kind of service. It is great to know that there are people like Larry willing to open their homes to our cherished four-legged family members!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Garnet
I couldn't have asked for a better person to care for my dog, Kevin. He stayed with David and his partner for 6 nights, and I felt completely at ease the entire time. They have a beautiful home, and Kevin clearly felt comfortable and welcome there. They are friendly, responsive, and reliable. David sent updates every day with photos and videos, so I always knew how Kevin was doing and could see how happy he was. I had mentioned how much Kevin loves to play fetch, and they made sure he got plenty of it! I can't recommend David and his partner highly enough, and I'll be booking them again without hesitation. Thank you both for taking such wonderful care of Kevin!

This is the 2nd time I’ve used Tony and I happily recommend him. He and Audry took great care of Frankie keeping me updated with photos, videos and texts daily to let me know how she was doing. He has a great place and it’s right across the street from a nice grassy park so that was a bonus. I’ll definitely use Tony again in the future.

We couldn't have been more thrilled with the care and attention that Mike gave to our dog while we were away. Mike was wonderful during the initial meet and greet -- giving our dog time to explore the house and become comfortable in a new place. Drop off was equally good. Mike sent regular updates and pictures and let us know everything that was happening. We could enjoy our trip because we knew that our dog was having such a good time. Our dog bonded quickly with Mike's dog Cooper, and the pictures and videos of the two of them playing together day and night proved how happy our dog was. We have never seen him that bonded to another dog -- we almost felt bad going to pick him up! Our return travel plans hit a snag when our flight was diverted to LAX, and Mike was super flexible about everything. He wanted us just to focus on our travel plans and it was not an issue for our dog to stay an extra night. We are already talking about where we can travel to next just so our dog can go back and spend time with Mike and Cooper! We would recommend him to anyone without hesitation.

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 Garnet 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 Garnet.
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 Garnet 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.
