“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. 💖”
“Don is the best! We get pictures every day of our dog Bruno while he's with Don. He takes Bruno for walks and gives us training tips to work with him on the leash. We always know our pup is in good hands with Don.”
“This was my first time using a sitter and I couldn’t be more pleased with Joan and her husband. They took such good care of my dog for two weeks and she was very happy staying with them. They took her on walks, gave her such loving care. I will definitely use them again.”
“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!”
About: Hi, I’m Gema! I have 10+ years of experience in veterinary care and 8+ years as a professional dog groomer, allowing me to provide attentive, knowledgeable, and compassionate care while your dog is in my home. Pet care is fully integrated into my daily routine. My schedule is structured around feeding, exercise, medication administration, grooming upkeep, and close health monitoring. I provide calm, attentive, boutique-style care and limit the number of dogs I accept so each pet receives individualized attention in a clean, peaceful home. My veterinary background helps me confidently monitor health, recognize changes in behavior, and administer medications as instructed, while my grooming experience means I’m comfortable handling dogs of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments and keeping them clean and comfortable. I focus on reducing stress and creating a calm, positive environment. I treat every dog like family and strive to provide a safe, clean, and loving home while you’re away.
“Mark was great with my baby! I can tell he knows what he is doing when it comes to dogs and trusted him fully. He was professional and sent me some adorable photos! Would book again anytime!”
About: I’ve taken care of all kinds of animals from a very young age, as of now I’m currently working off and on with some family friends and overnight sitting their pups! I have other great qualities as well such as the ability to clean, communication, organization and much more. It would be an honor to watch after your fur babies or any kind of animal for that matter! I have had plenty of pets in my lifetime and it’s a joy to watch them thrive. To be able to help out would be amazing, keep in touch! I also drive as well! As of now I am working part time/as needed but so far I’ve only really dog sat during weekends. Since it’s summer and I just graduated, I have plenty of time to spend taking care of your pups to keep them healthy and in shape while you’re away! I have a huge backyard with lots of grass, a doggy run, and a pool! My house is decently large and I have a doggy named obi who’s a golden doodle and is very friendly!
“Katie and her daughter were simply amazing! Our puppy loved them! They played with her, rubbed her ears, and took care of her in such a calm, loving way. Seriously the best Rover Betty sitter we ever had.”
“Ana Karen watched our 2 pups for over a week, and she was wonderful! She took such good care of them. She also communicated regularly with me by sending messages and cute photos of them having fun 😍 I highly recommend Ana Karen!!”
“Christine took very good care of my dog, Mika. She sent regular updates with photos, and was quick to respond to my check-ins as well. Overall, very positive experience. Thank you!”
“Absolutely the best. I have a difficult dog, and Candace was extremely confident and loving with her. I have full peace of mind when she's watching my dog. Thank you Candace!”
“The day before drop off our dog seemed to be limping a bit so playtimes needed to be more gentle , we got pics and or videos daily , she was flexible with the times for drop off pick up and willing to meet in person before picking her. Our dog was not limping when we got him 4 days later and was doing much better, was clean and happy and would definately book again if we need help. Plus the price was affordable and reasonable”
“Tanya is the absolute sweetest & most caring sitter. She took my dog Winnie for a planned 4 day trip that unfortunately turned into a week long stay due to a family emergency. She was so flexible in keeping Winnie longer then planned & wonderful to both myself & Winnie. Throughout the stay I got tons of adorable pictures of nap, play, & snuggle times.💕 It brought me so much peace & comfort knowing Winnie was being loved & cared for so well during a very difficult time. She will be Winnie’s sitter from now on & I highly recommend her to all!”
“As many of us know, it’s a nerve racking ordeal trying to find a sitter/boarder for your pup, as there are so many factors that play into these types of decisions. We (and Simba) couldn’t be more pleased with our experience! Tammy and Ben quite simply “get it” and that was apparent from the moment Simba met them for a meet and greet. Finding a sitter for Simba who had experience with bigger working dog breeds was very reassuring. Thank you again, we, along with Simba, look forward to seeing you again for his next stay!”
“Lynn provided a welcoming place to stay for my dog. My dog is a rescue dog who has very little social time and can be defensive. Lynn was very proactive and Lynne’s dog Lucy was too. My dog, Isla, was able to stay with Lynne for two days. Isla was a very happy camper. I will say that Lynne receives 5 stars from me. I will recommend her to anyone looking for a person knowledgeable about pets who has the skills to make it a really great experience for your pet.”
“Ary has been the best sitter! Highly recommend! She is so sweet and takes the best care of our girl and our pup doesn’t love everyone but LOVES staying with Ary!! Thank you so much again.”

Daniella did a wonderful job caring for our two small dogs. She kept us updated regularly and sent pictures, which we really appreciated. Our dogs also got along great with her dog! Having a doggy door was a big plus since our dogs are used to having one at home. Her home is clean and well cared for, and our dogs felt comfortable and at ease with both her and her husband. We would happily recommend Daniella!
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. 💖
Alanah did a great job taking care of our pup. She was available last minute, very communicative and sent photo and text updates of our dog. Our dog is anxious when left with new people but she warmed right up to Alanah and was her happy self when we picked her up.
Our dog Simon is always taken care of with love & caring. Gloria is wonderful dog sitter & Simon needed extra special care this time, with some new medications to administer over a period of days with changing dosages. Gloria took on the task as any mother would for her child and I knew Simon was well looked after. I am so very thankful for her.
My dog had a hard time with the introduction since he was only used to being home and had very little interaction with others. Jenessa did an amazing job gaining his trust and was patient with him even after he showed his difficult side for a whole day, which could have been a dealbreaker for most sitters. After a day, Jenessa updated me with how he was getting along & I was so relieved to know his happy, playful side finally kicked in. 10 out of 10 recommend! I would definitely request her again if I ever needed it.
I left my dog with Natalie and her family and it was a 10/10 experience! She sent great updates including videos so I know my guy was having fun and being treated like part of the family. I felt completely at ease leaving him for a week and he came home happy and tired! Would absolutely recommend her to care for your pup and will definitely be using her in the future!:)

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Boarding in Indio is $56 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $33 and $83 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

As of October 2026, there are 308 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Indio. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
95% of sitters in Indio 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 Indio home-away-from-home, 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 Indio.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Indio 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 , 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 .
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.
