“Gloria is amazing, and we feel so lucky to have found her! This was the second time she watched our dog, Pepper, while we were out of town, and once again she went above and beyond. Pepper had a little tummy trouble during our trip, and Gloria was right on it, she communicated promptly, kept a close eye on him, and handled everything with so much care. We will use her again and we highly recommend her! Thanks again Gloria for taking such good care of Pepper!”
“We left Mochi with Katie for 5 nights. The first time we left Mochi with a different sitter, my gf was extremely anxious. This time, after leaving our pup with Katie, we had zero anxiety and enjoyed our vacation with no worries! She provided us with many updates and cute photos each day and answered any questions we had. Mochi had a blast and we couldn’t be happier. We will DEFINITELY be booking with Katie again. Highly recommend.”
“Don was great, he kept us updated throughout the weekend. Hank seemed to be having a good time. We got lots of great pictures from him and he made us feel comfortable. We’d recommend Don anytime!”
“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!”
“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!”
“Joan and her husband were a godsend for us! In town for only a month we wanted to get away for an overnight trip and they took in Gizmo as their own. Joan kept me informed of Gizmo and took some of the best pics ever. I was at peace with their care of him and we had a great trip. Thank you Joan!”
“Helen was so loving and attentive to all Chewy's quirkiness. I felt so confident leaving him for an overnight stay. You can just sense the dog lover within her the first time you meet her. I will definitely call on her for both both short and longer stays.”
“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.”
“Ruby was excellent with Prue! She sent me multiple pictures and video of her walks and playtime. I know she was in good hands. Will definitely use her service again in the future. Highly recommend!”
“We are so happy that we found Corrine! After visiting with her at our meet and greet, we felt very confident she would be an excellent caregiver for our dog. We left Ollie there for 5 nights and Corrine was good at communicating with pics and updates during his stay. When we picked him up, he was calm and relaxed. Thanks Corrine, see you next time.”
“Great host. She took wonderful care of our dog while we were away on vacation. She sent updates and was very easy to connect with. Will definitely use again, really great experience.”
“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!!”
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!
About: Since I was younger, i’ve always been surrounded by all different kinds of cats, puppies, and other small creatures. Over time, animals have became a passion and motivation of mine as I have three cats and a mini dachshund on my own. I got my puppy when he was 2 months old and raised him so I am absolutely open to caring for puppies! When it comes to any other accommodations, feel free to ask any questions! I am currently working from home remotely and have extra time in the morning and evening, that i am trying to discover a new hobby for myself. i care for my dog all day and visit the dog park twice a day. I have a closed backyard with a fenced gate. When it comes to caring for a fur baby in the parents home, I am very patient and understanding when it comes to any boundaries and rules.
“I cannot say enough good things about Alice. Truly. She went so far above and beyond with my dog. She sent me photos and videos every day and my dog. Ocho was so happy with her. I’m not sure he really wanted to come home to be honest. That said, she bathed him the day I picked him up, He came home a better dog than when I dropped him off. Don’t get me wrong, he was a fine dog at drop off. But being with Alice and her dogs helped him to grow up, and she even trained him with a few new commands. She has natural mesquite sticks for the dogs to chew on, got them extra toys, you name it she is a dream. If you want to not only not worry about your dog, but know that your dog is having a joyous and loving wonderful experience, Alice should be your choice. I drove away with my dog, wanting to travel more so that he could spend more time there. I don’t think there’s any higher praise than that.”
“I felt so relieved leaving Luna with Sam and Darryl - Luna clearly felt loved and cared for and the adorable pictures and updates everyday was so appreciated!! I felt at ease knowing Luna was in good hands... it looked like she was the one on vacation 😆 I will definitely book with Sam and Darryl again - thank you for looking after Luna ❤️”
“A wonderful experience. If you’re looking for a sitter right near the beach… This is your one. She is excellent at communication. She sent updates of my dog with pictures. She was very flexible with pick up and drop off. And a pleasure to deal with. I knew my dog was safe with her. I would highly recommend using her services”
“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!”
“Luz took wonderful care of my dear friend Nico. Luz was responsive to messaging, accommodating to my changing schedule, and sent daily pictures my happy dog. She will definitely be my first choice the next time I need someone to watch Nico in this area!”

As of November 2026, there are 320 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Indio Hills. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
95% of sitters in Indio Hills 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 Hills 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 Indio Hills.
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 Indio Hills. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 95% 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 Indio Hills 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.
