“Jackson was amazing with Frankie! He took great care of her over the last few days, kept me updated with consistent communication, and sent the sweetest photos that put me at ease. You can tell he genuinely loves dogs and pays attention to the little things. Frankie came home happy, calm, and clearly very well cared for 🐾💛”
“We had such a great experience with Brandon and Billy! It was my first time using Rover and they made the process super easy and reassuring. We got updates often and very quickly. I know my dog had a blast too and she can’t wait to go back!”
“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. 💖”
“Our senior dog, Sophie, recently spent a couple of days and one night with Maggie and her son, Quin. Throughout the stay we received updates and photos of our dog, which we really appreciated. Sophie quickly settled in to being at their home. Maggie and Quin were very kind and sweet with her. We were very happy with Sophie's care! Already have another stay booked with Maggie.”
“Valiantsina and her son did a great job caring for my baby boy and kept him active and entertained inside while it was extremely hot out and walks had to be short. She was very quick to respond and sent pictures and videos while I was away, which made my work trip much less stressful knowing he was in good hands! I would definitely rebook with her!!”
“Sierra was a lifesaver when my regular sitter canceled last minute! She took wonderful care of my dog on short notice and sent photo updates showing how happy he was. I’m so grateful for her help and border service.”
“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!!”
“Alanah helped me out with a last minute dog sitting request. She was very responsive, so sweet, and took great care of my shy dog. It is obvious that she is a naturally caring person and I recommend her!”
“I can’t even begin to describe how wonderful our experience was with Mark! He is exactly who you want to care for your dog. Mark is attentive, thoughtful, empathetic, and caring. And his dog training skills really help. We have a 5-year-old Akita who is a can be full of energy and can be a recipe for disaster. Mark was incredible with her! He goes above and beyond to make sure your dog has everything they need and has fun doing it. He was patient, loving, gave her so much attention, including taking her out for walks thru centennial trail and the river nearby all the while kept us updated with pics and texts. Unagi had an amazing time with Mark, and I could tell she had a great time when we returned to pick her up. Highly recommend him to others.”
“This is the longest trip away from our girl but we were so comfortable knowing that she was getting the best care and most love while we were away. We are seriously so grateful we found Amy & Juan! 🐶💕”
“I highly recommend Edgar! He was kind, patient, and communicated wonderfully throughout the entire experience. I felt confident knowing my dog was in good hands. I would absolutely book with him again!”
“Awesome with my older Great Dane! He loves going here. Megan is so sweet to try and comfort him when he gets anxious being away from mom & dad. We’ve used her a few times already and have another trip planned next month. We feel Cooper’s in excellent hands with Megan!”
“Kevin was great. His communication was fabulous keeping us posted on our little boy. He even sent pictures, which we really appreciated. I would definitely recommend him to anyone who wants to know their pet is in good hands.”
About: Ever since I was a kid I have always *adored* spending time with animals, and I would occasionally volunteer in walking, watching after, and cleaning dogs at the local animal shelters. I had a wonderful senior dog at home named Honey, and I have grown up with her though all phases of life, from puppyhood to senior. I am well versed in general pet care, and I would love to lend a helping hand caring for your own fur baby!! I'm home for the summer and have ample open availability to care for pets. Whether it's daily walks, feeding, or just some extra love, I'm here to help! I can help by feeding, walking, and general care for pets! Let me know if you have any specific instructions for your pet, and I am more than happy to accommodate!
“The perfect host for our labradoodles first time away from home Ana was incredibly loving kind responsive , sent pictures was so accommodating we will use her again if ever in the area ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
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 was the best experience I’ve had with someone watching Porkchop! Osamu and Darrel were so loving and kind, and very understanding of an almost-17-year old dog. They gave lots of updates and pictures and helped him get his medicine with ease. They took him on walks, helped noticed how he’s aging, and offered great suggestions. I could not recommend anyone more. I’m so glad they are caring for animals! Thank you both!”
“I recently entrusted my amazing Lab to Margie and I couldn't be more pleased with the care provided. Margie demonstrated a genuine love for animals, creating a safe and comfortable environment for my dog. Communication was excellent, with regular updates and even photos of my pet enjoying their time. The attention to detail in following feeding and exercise routines was impressive. I felt reassured knowing my dog was in capable hands. I highly recommend Margie for anyone seeking a reliable and caring dog sitter. The peace of mind and the happy tail-wagging upon my return speak volumes about the quality of service provided.”
“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!”
The median cost per night for dog boarding in Indian Wells is $63
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Indian Wells
We are not from California, but had a weekend excursion in which we needed to leave our 2 mini schnauzers. It was also our first time using Rover. Sierra put my mind at ease right away! She gave the girls time to warm up to their new environment, sent photos and little updates of their stay. So thankful for her opening up her home to our little fur babies…I’d definitely book Sierra again. Thank you!
Helen watched our 15-month-old toy doodle, Leo, for two nights. We could not have asked for a better experience or sitter. She instantly made Leo feel comfortable, which was clear from her consistent messages and pictures that perfectly captured our baby. We will absolutely have Helen watch Leo again if we’re ever in need of a Rover sitter in the Palm Springs area!
Amy & Juan were fantastic! They provided excellent communication throughout the entire stay, with regular updates that gave us real peace of mind while we were away. Our doggie was well cared for, shown lots of love, and we came home to a happy, safe, and relaxed fur baby. We truly appreciated the reliability, professionalism, and genuine care they showed. This was our second booking with them & would absolutely book with them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter.
Valiantsina and her son did a great job caring for my baby boy and kept him active and entertained inside while it was extremely hot out and walks had to be short. She was very quick to respond and sent pictures and videos while I was away, which made my work trip much less stressful knowing he was in good hands! I would definitely rebook with her!!
These guys came in and saved the day for me. I need some last minute care for my dog and was lucky enough to find these 2. Everyone might be a little reluctant to leave their dog with strangers, but I can not recommend these guys enough. They were kind, attentive, compassionate, and over all had a safe space for my dog. Will use them for all and any future needs. Thank you!!
Penelopi had a wonderful stay with Brent. He was so good with her & assured us in every way we had nothing to worry about. He was very good with her medication routine also & being that she's elderly, he spoke loud for her & treated her like family. He sent us photos & updated us throughout her stay * for that, we were very appreciative. His yard area was a perfect place for her to run around & his home was set up very comfortable. Her bed even had a beautiful view.
Tanya was an excellent choice for our 2 pups. They boarded at her home for 11 nights. She sent awesome pictures frequently. They settled in quickly and were super calm when we picked them up. We highly recommend Tanya and will use her services again when we return to the area next year.
Chyna is amazing!!! I can't say enough good things about her! This review is after the second time she watched our frenchie Remy. (Tried to leave one the first time but it was our first time using rover and got confused). We were thrilled after our first experience with Chyna and we were so excited she was available to watch Remy again. I would recommend Chyna to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and communicative sitter! She went above and beyond making sure Remy was taken care of as he normally is at home and made us feel so comfortable!! Lots of updates and photos :) We were able to enjoy a long wedding weekend without worrying how he was doing. It is such a relief to find someone you trust with your pup, we will book with her anytime when we are in the area! She is exactly what you would hope for and we can't thank her enough!!
Do you ever drop off your kids or dog with a family member so you can take a vacation? I just did that with Nina — who isn’t technically family, but has absolutely become my dog’s new aunt — and she was AMAZING. She cared for my pup like he was her own. I got the best updates, photos, and stories about how much fun he was having. Honestly, it felt like he was on his own vacation while I was on mine! If you ever need someone who treats your fur baby like family, Nina is the one. My dog came home happy, loved, and maybe even a little spoiled. Five stars isn’t enough!

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.
94% of sitters in Indian Wells 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 Indian Wells 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 Indian Wells.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Indian Wells. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
You and your Indian Wells 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
