“Anna & Tyler were so great! We’re so glad we found them on Rover. They both listened to our concerns about our dogs prior to their stay. We loved seeing the daily photos and updates. They were so easy to get ahold of and assisted with whatever concerns we had. Our dogs loved staying with them! Will definitely be looking to book again in the future.”
“I contacted Matthew at the very last minute to see if he could board my dog starting that very same day - 3 hours notice. My husband and I were at a pet friendly vrbo with our two dogs and found out that they would only allow one. He got back to me right away and was able to accommodate me. He and his partner took in our rambunctious rescue Dachshund Hans and took excellent care of him all weekend. Hans has high energy and separation anxiety and they were undaunted by that. They have a lovely home with a big back yard and two adorable dogs of their own who were great playmates. Photos they sent showed fun times and some good cuddling with the humans. I can't recommend these gents enough and will always get in touch with them when we come to the Palm Springs area with our pooches.”
“Michael has a pleasant way with our dog. Our dog felt comfortable with him and his boarding stay seemed to be a good experience. Great attitude and service. We received plenty of photos to ease our mind. I would recommend Michael for your boarding needs.”
“Marinee took excellent care of my dog over the weekend. She was communicative and sent pictures and videos of my dogs stay with her daily. From drop off to pick up, the process was straightforward and easy. Marinee was very nice to work with. Will definitely use her services again! Thank you Marinee!”
“I’m happy I made the choice of leaving my baby Georgie with Tasha. She was a great at communicating, and sending me pics and videos. I would definitely leave him with her again. Thank you Tasha.”
“Tierney did such a great job! I think my dog Dolly really liked her. Dolly has anxiety problems but she seemed really calm around Tierney. I highly recommend her for dog boarding. Thank you so much!!😊”
“Michael and his wife are very nice people and treat with dogs. My Gilda had a good time. I’m glad she had a safe and caring place to stay while my Partner and I were at an event.”
“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!!”
“Melissa and Richard were amazing. From start to finish, I feel like they went above ang beyond. Khloe is only 3mos and she absolutely loved her stay. Melissa sent pictures and videos often through out the weekend. We will definitely use them again anytime we have to leave Khloe.”
“We love Angelica. My two dogs love staying with her. My older puppy relaxes with her, and my younger puppy plays with her and her dog. 💕 We always book with Angelica.”
“Sam and his partner Darrell took such great care of our little 14-year-old Chihuahua, Bentley. We could not have asked for more caring, understanding and attention for our little guy who has heart difficulties and is on three medications. We received multiple pictures daily and assurances that he was eating and all was well! We had so much peace of mind the week of our daughters wedding in Palm Springs, knowing our little guy was in such great hands. We will be calling on Sam each time we go to the desert now, instead of worrying about what to do for dog sitting. They are the kings of little dogs!❣️?❣️??”
“Kellie was fantastic and so caring. She was very easy to work with and accommodating. We will definitely book her again. It was a dream to have her care for our little dog. We highly recommend her!!!”
“Lynn was fabulous! Our Sugar Baby came home from a week stay with a wonderful disposition. No stress at all. That’s the best compliment anyone can give a caregiver. Thanks, Lynn!”
“Araceli was an excellent host for my guy OTIS. She provided plenty of pictures and comments that made me feel comfortable and assured that he was getting excellent care. He seemed to enjoy interacting with her pups and came home a happy camper.”
“great communication, clear direction to the address. take Morris out to the park, sent me pictures. keep me updated. thank you, very professional, enjoy doing business with you and Morris love her stay.”

Anna and Tyler were so good with our doodles. This is the first time we left all three of them with a sitter for a full day and we’re so glad we found Anna and Tyler. Our babies were COVID babies so they are easily scared and protective of each other. We are very particular about leaving our babies and we typically go on vacation with them all the time. This time around, hubby and I needed to get some higher elevation training to get ready for our trip back to Nepal and Mount San Jacinto peak is always on our list. And besides, we love Idyllwild and Mayor Max- we visit at least twice a year. Now that we found a very trustworthy couple with a beautiful home and big fully fenced yard- it’s a no brainer! Anna and Tyler also have a Goldendoodle named Gus and a little mixed dog named Murph who were also so friendly and accommodating to our dogs. Anna also told me that they have a regular client from Palm Springs who leaves their Bernedoodle to their care every time they go on trips- they drive over an hour to leave their fur baby with them all the time- now I know why. My husband and I are so grateful to you Anna and Tyler! We would have not tried and trusted anyone to leave our dogs but you both changed us! You took good care of our dogs, followed my feeding instructions, and the dogs stayed clean in spite of Harley’s running adventures with Gus. Thank you for the pictures and videos that I received on and off while hiking- they truly put us at ease that they were well taken care of and more. Thank you for understanding their accident when we picked them up- my apologies… we will surely take advantage of your assistance in the future and I know there will be more. We are so very grateful for your help- thanks again!
A Fantastic Experience with Archer’s Rover Boarding As a first-time user of Rover, I was searching for a better alternative to traditional kennels to board my dog, Archer, while I went on vacation. Archer is my 7-year-old, 85-pound American Staffordshire Terrier—full of energy and an absolute lovebug. Finding the right care for him was incredibly important to me. Although there’s a nearby kennel known for being one of the best around, I wanted something more personal and home-like, where Archer would be treated like family. I’m so glad I found Veronica, this wonderful Rover sitter. The environment exceeded my expectations—it was a spacious, fenced yard where Archer could run and play, and a welcoming home with caring people who are truly passionate about pets. Not only did they care for Archer, but they also foster other dogs, which really showed me how deeply they understand and love animals. The communication was exceptional. I received daily updates and pictures, which put my mind completely at ease, knowing my good boy was in great hands. It was clear that Archer felt comfortable and happy in this new environment. Veronica, I want to express my deepest gratitude to you. Your kindness, and understanding have meant the world to me. You have truly made a difference, and I appreciate all the ways you’ve cared for Archer. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. I highly recommend Veronica’s service to anyone looking to provide their pet with the best care while they’re away.
