“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.”


About: I’ve taken care of my pets for the last 25 years. And volunteered with k9connection, a non-profit organization to help at-risk teenagers train dogs for rehoming. I am a psychotherapist and work from home. Other than daily errands and the occasional evening out I am here almost 90% of the time. I have a dog-door from my bedroom that leads to a fenced-in 10’x10’ area and a 3000 sq. ft. corral with a covered horse shelter.
About: I’m basically the friend who comes to your house and spends more time talking to your dog than to you. Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I genuinely love getting to know their individual little personalities, the weird habits, favorite spots, specific snack expectations, and all. I live in the desert and work from home, so I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to actually hang out with your pet. Walks, playtime, lounging, adventures, or just having someone nearby while they nap, I’m happy to meet them where they are. I’m comfortable with puppies and younger dogs who need consistency, exercise, and reinforcement of basic training, as well as senior pets who need a slower pace, patience, and a little extra TLC. I’m also very good with nervous or particular animals and don’t expect every pet to immediately want to be my best friend. And yes, you will get pictures. Probably too many pictures. Mostly, I want you to leave knowing your pet isn’t just being “watched.” They’re hanging out with someone who genuinely likes having them around and who will absolutely learn their entire personality before you get home. I work from home and have a pretty flexible schedule, so pet care fits very naturally into my day. I’m home a lot, which means plenty of time for walks, playtime, potty breaks, meals, and just having someone around. I also genuinely like having animals woven into my day. A morning walk, a dog under my desk while I work, an afternoon break outside, or somebody following me from room to room is pretty much my idea of a good workday. I’m able to adjust my routine around each pet rather than expecting them to adjust to mine. I pay attention. Every animal has their own routine, personality, quirks, and boundaries, and I think good pet care starts with noticing those things. Whether I’m caring for your pet in my home or yours, I’ll follow the routine they already know as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, house rules, sleeping arrangements, and whatever oddly specific ritual your pet has convinced you is completely necessary. I’m careful about doors, leashes, unfamiliar animals, food, and anything else that could become a safety issue. I also never force interaction with a nervous or unsure pet. I’d rather earn their trust on their timeline. My goal is pretty simple: you should feel completely comfortable leaving, and your pet should feel safe, relaxed, and very much at home while you’re gone.
“We have boarded with Felice many times, always for many days in a row. I can’t find enough nice things to say about her and how much she loves our dog. She communicates well and loves our dog like he is her own! I highly recommend Felice!”

“Nueva was a lovely sitter for Johnny. He really enjoyed his stay with her. She updated us throughout the week with texts and pictures, so we could enjoy our vacation knowing that our little dog was having a good time. Would highly recommend, and we will definitely use Nueva again if we travel without our dog.”

“Taurawa was the perfect host for my dog Jacks. When I picked him up he seemed content. She has a very nice place for dogs, lots of room for them to run around and lets them on the furniture. We will hire her again for sure!”

“Very happy with Alexandra, nothing was too much trouble, we picked up Roxy and it was clear she had had a good time. Everything was perfect, Roxy did not want to leave when we collected her!”

“This was my first experience using Rover, and Gloria far exceeded my expectations. She took such wonderful care of Pepper while we were on vacation and kept me constantly updated with messages, photos, and videos. Her communication was outstanding and truly put my mind at ease. I never worried about him for a single moment. It was clear that Pepper was comfortable, happy, and genuinely cared for. I am so grateful to have found someone I trust and I will absolutely be recommending Gloria and booking with her again in the future. Thank you again so much!!”

“Hazel was so kind & responsive! She took great care of our Boni over the holidays, and it meant so much to know she was safe and in good hands while we were out of town. She provided daily updates and photos, which was so nice. Highly recommend!”


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.
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.

“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!”

“April and Rylan were amazing during my stress and responsibilities free weekend. Sending me pictures on how well my doggies did, with their loving care. I have a BLIND DOG, so I was nervous with how he would adapt. With ease ? will definitely be using her in the future along with referrals. Truly the best!!”
“I had a great experience! They took wonderful care of my husky girl and gave me peace of mind knowing she was in good hands. I really appreciate the time and attention they gave her, and I would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter. I would definitely book with them again! 🐾❤️A”

“Kat was great and was knowledgeable at handling my fiesty baby corgi. She kept him entertained and knew how to discipline him if he got rambunctious... Definitely have sit Max again.”

Alexandra took amazing care of my pup! Alo often is a bit nervous with new people, and Alexandra and her husband were so patient with her. I was so appreciative of their regular photos and updates, and will definitely be using them again in the future! I highly recommend Alexandra if you need someone to take great care of your fur baby!

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 Hidden River 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 Hidden River.
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 Hidden River 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.
