“Don was excellent -- he accommodated our schedule at the last moment and looked after our friendly (but protective) German Shepherd pup as if it were his own. Thank you Don!!!”
“Natalie and Michael were both so warm and loving to my very anxious pup. I know they look such great care of him and did everything to help him feel right at home. They sent pictures throughout the day and kept me updated about how he was doing. I highly recommend this family to take care of your pet!”
About: I currently volunteer at Animal Samaritans, an animal shelter located in Thousand Palms. I've been volunteering for 1 year now and I specialize in the need and care of cats and dogs. My skills can vary from providing companionship to all pets, to special maintenance and cleaning services! Apart from volunteering at a shelter, it is my ultimate goal to work alongside pets all-day, providing not only intensive care but love and compassion to your Fur Babies! My schedule is very flexible as I can fit extensive time for pet care and extracurricular activities such as dog walking. I am currently taking full online courses. I spend most of my days in the comfort of my home alongside my outdoor hobbies. I am available Monday- Sunday and on Holidays. I live in a pet-friendly large home with a friendly kitten and a spacious backyard. Many treats and playtime are always a necessity! There is a community pet-friendly park within a 5-minute walking distance. A 6ft wide fence is provided!
“Amy is awesome. We have a 13 week old puppy that had never been boarded previously and did not have all of his vaccinations. Teddy, the Teacup Maltipoo had quickly worked his way into our hearts and we were very concerned about boarding him any place where there wasn't constant supervision. We were going to be gone for the entirety of a day and late into the evening and didn't know what to do so that Teddy would get the attention he needed and our concerns alleviated. Amy was very willing to pre-meet us beforehand to make sure that Teddy would fit in well into her home and that Teddy would be comfortable. Amy was even willing to rearrange her schedule in order to accommodate us. We met with Amy, her husband, and her dogs. Amy was very willing to answer our questions and reassure us that Teddy would be well cared for. She is an extremely warm hearted person who is a total animal lover. We felt so reassured that we decided to go ahead for our first DogVacay experience with Teddy our puppy. Amy sent us gobs of pictures and a video snippet throughout the day. We shared those with our family while we were vacationing and we all enjoyed and welcomed the special attention that Teddy was given. We felt so relieved that he was being well cared for. When we picked him up later that evening Teddy was as jubiliant and happy as ever. Amy is an incredibly kind person and we felt fortunate that we could be paired with her for Teddy's care. I enthusiastically recommend Amy to anyone who would like a loving, fun, and safe home for their 4-legged family member.”
“Our big girl Bee had a fabulous vacation at the Brandon and Billy “resort!” This is the second time they have cared for Bee while we enjoy the tennis tournament and it hopefully won’t be the last. They are wonderful with her.”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs of all sizes since I was a young girl, and animals have always been a natural part of my life. I’ve rescued dogs throughout my adulthood and loved every breed, personality, and quirky soul that’s come my way. Even cats — despite my allergies — tend to walk right up to me, which always makes me smile. I’ll still care for them with love (and a little help from allergy meds). I’m an empath with a deep, intuitive connection to animals. Nervous, shy, senior, or sensitive pets usually relax around me quickly. I read their body language, respect their boundaries, and create a calm, predictable environment where they feel safe and understood. I also bring professional caregiving skills to my pet care. As a retired massage therapist and longtime caregiver, I can offer gentle pet massage, calming touch, and support for aging, compassionate end of life care and support or anxious dogs. I’m comfortable providing wound care, administering medications, and injections for diabetic animal when needed. What truly sets me apart is the combination of lifelong love of animals, my experience, intuition, and genuine compassion. Your pet will be cared for with patience, warmth, and the same steady presence I’ve brought to every animal I’ve loved. When I am caring for your loved one I commit to your Pet only. No other side jobs. No leaving to walk or feed another animal. I serve one family at a time whether that is 1 pet or 3 or more Your family is my priority always. I create a calm, predictable environment where pets feel safe, understood, and cared for in my Home or Yours. I will respect your home, your space, your privacy and the trust you placed in me.
“It was an our first time leaving our 8 month old with a sitter and Sierra was awesome. Ayla came home happy and content. Would definitely use Sierra again when we are in town!”
“JoAnn took our poodle pup for a second time this weekend. Once again, Jo was easy to deal with. She communicates well, sends pics and takes great care of Vaughan. The pup loves her. Highly recommend!”
“Angelica R. was an absolute lifesaver! She responded promptly to my early morning, last-minute request and provided clear, detailed directions to her home, including designated parking. She met me right on time and welcomed Maya with such love and care, as if she already knew her. Throughout the stay, Angelica sent pictures and updates, which gave me complete peace of mind knowing Maya was safe and happy. Her rates are reasonable, and her warm, positive vibe made the experience even better. I wouldn’t think twice about trusting her again when I’m in town! Highly recommend!”
“Bobby always has a blast with Matt and his pack. There are usually a couple dog pals for him to play with and he’s always beaming after his visits. Matt takes good care of our furry babies and is flexible when it comes to scheduling. Would definitely recommend!”
About: Your pup will enjoy a fun filled vacation with lots of love and kisses. A playground with grass for lots of running and jumping supervised by me. Two little new friends to entertain your little one and a spacious home in which to play and explore. Lots of trips to the community dog park, or walks at the Palm Desert Civic Center Park, or another wonderful nearby park to visit with other pups and play. Her/His home away from home! I have cared for animals all my life and personally owned several animals at a time. I am a true dog lover with the deepest respect for their physical well being and emotional health. During their stay your dog will become a part of my family enjoying the company of Alfie and Bear. Treats available (unless you don't want your dog to have them). Hugs abound! My bed has room for 1 or 2 more or you can bring your dog’s crate for sleeping or crating. We look forward to seeing you! At the moment I am at home full time. There may be evenings when I have to be away but I would let you know if that is expected before you book your dog’s stay . I will try my best to work around your needs. and I will see what If needed or preferred, I can crate your dog at night if you bring a kennel. Your dogs feeding schedule and foods are important as well.

Gloria was wonderful with my dog and took such great care of her during her stay! My pup can be anxious in new places, but she came home calm and clearly well-loved. Gloria was very kind and sent regular updates throughout my dog’s stay, which gave me peace of mind. Her husband was also kind enough to help when I dropped off and picked up my dog. I appreciated how attentive Gloria was to my senior dog’s needs, including her medication schedule. My dog means the world to me, and I would absolutely trust Gloria with her again! 🩷
Buddy had a fantastic time visiting with Edith. He particularly liked the fact that she played with him and took him for a nice walk each day. She also had some toys that he might have thought where his own. Edith did a great job communicating with me and being flexible. I was attending a music festival and Edith took Buddy while I was at the festival. It worked out really well and I would definitely use her again.
Brooklyn, My happy Golden Retriever, absolutely loved her stay with Natalie and Michael. I had to have some construction work done at our house so needed a place for Brooklyn to stay. Natalie and Michael are both so warm and welcoming- you can instantly tell that they love dogs. I received regular updates and great communication from them. They live in a wonderful dog-friendly community with lots of space for walks and play. It was a perfect match for Brooklyn and she cannot wait to return.

The average cost of Doggy Day Care in Indio is $33 per day as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $28 and $72 per day. 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.

Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Indio commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
As of October 2026, there are 285 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across the region of CA. Enter your address or desired location to see which available sitters are closest to you.
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.
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 .
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.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
