“Alice has a nice oasis in Joshua Tree for my two dogs. They’ve never traveled away from home so her care was wonderful and comforting. Her two dogs made friends and welcomed my two boys with play and fun. I would ask Alice to care for my boys the next time I am in Joshua Tree!”

“Mesa LOVED her stay with Ann and Buddy. They went on a walks and to the dog park, and they played in the yard. Ann has a great space—indoor and out—for dogs, and she was super communicative, making the whole process easy. Will book again! Thanks, Ann!”

About: I’m basically the friend who comes to your house and spends more time talking to your dog than to you. Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I genuinely love getting to know their individual little personalities, the weird habits, favorite spots, specific snack expectations, and all. I live in the desert and work from home, so I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to actually hang out with your pet. Walks, playtime, lounging, adventures, or just having someone nearby while they nap, I’m happy to meet them where they are. I’m comfortable with puppies and younger dogs who need consistency, exercise, and reinforcement of basic training, as well as senior pets who need a slower pace, patience, and a little extra TLC. I’m also very good with nervous or particular animals and don’t expect every pet to immediately want to be my best friend. And yes, you will get pictures. Probably too many pictures. Mostly, I want you to leave knowing your pet isn’t just being “watched.” They’re hanging out with someone who genuinely likes having them around and who will absolutely learn their entire personality before you get home. I work from home and have a pretty flexible schedule, so pet care fits very naturally into my day. I’m home a lot, which means plenty of time for walks, playtime, potty breaks, meals, and just having someone around. I also genuinely like having animals woven into my day. A morning walk, a dog under my desk while I work, an afternoon break outside, or somebody following me from room to room is pretty much my idea of a good workday. I’m able to adjust my routine around each pet rather than expecting them to adjust to mine. I pay attention. Every animal has their own routine, personality, quirks, and boundaries, and I think good pet care starts with noticing those things. Whether I’m caring for your pet in my home or yours, I’ll follow the routine they already know as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, house rules, sleeping arrangements, and whatever oddly specific ritual your pet has convinced you is completely necessary. I’m careful about doors, leashes, unfamiliar animals, food, and anything else that could become a safety issue. I also never force interaction with a nervous or unsure pet. I’d rather earn their trust on their timeline. My goal is pretty simple: you should feel completely comfortable leaving, and your pet should feel safe, relaxed, and very much at home while you’re gone.

I 1000% recommend them for any trips as they truly know how to take care of your pet like it’s there own.”

“We can't say enough good things about Louise! She took Raymond into her home and right from the first meeting, we knew he was going to be in the best care. He can be a bit pushy with other dogs but she let him play with her Lacey and they both had such a good time. Louise sent daily updates and photos and we didn't worry about him at all knowing he was in a great place. We highly recommend Louise if you're looking for the best in pet care!”

She treated my baby as her own and all of my fears quickly disappeared. She was very caring and loving with my Lilly as if she were her own. I cannot express my gratitude towards Gloria and feel blessed to have found her. She kept me updated daily on how Lilly was doing which was much appreciated. I strongly recommend Gloria and will definitely book with her again.”

About: Both of us grew up with pets in our homes; some of our fondest memories include time spent with our animals. Tristan has had dogs ranging from a little Chihuahua to a Great Dane, while Adeline had a series of high-energy mixes, as well as a couple mellow cats. We watched many of our friends' animals prior to adopting our pup George about a year ago, and have loved creating a forever home for him! We both are self-employed, and frequently work from home throughout the week. This flexibility allows us to be attentive with breaks and walks, and ensures that our pup and yours won't be left alone for too long each day. We have a fenced-in yard and live in a very walkable area near a park. We love to take walks and play with our dog, and will treat yours with the same amount of attention and care!

About: I am a single man who lives alone and loves animals sometimes more than humans.😂 I can’t think of a time in my life where I didn’t have a dog or cat. My pets are my family. I will give your pets the same attention and care as my own. I am pretty much a homebody so I spent a lot of time with my animals. My dogs are leash trained so we go out for walks around three times a day. Unless you request more of us if not there is a place in the backyard for them to go will keep your dogs on whatever diet you request. My apartment is very animal friendly plenty of toys and beds. I am very cautious I don’t have anything that would could be harmful to pets safely put away.

“Helen is amazing! We left our 6 yo Great Dane with her twice in one week and, let me just say, that driving over for the second time, once we entered Helen's complex our girl would not relax...she was so excited to go play with her new friend again. Dane's are amazing dogs, but they do have unique "Dane" needs but as Helen is very experienced with Dane's I never stressed once. Thank you Helen for welcoming my girl into your house and providing her with amazing care.”

Alexandra took amazing care of my pup! Alo often is a bit nervous with new people, and Alexandra and her husband were so patient with her. I was so appreciative of their regular photos and updates, and will definitely be using them again in the future! I highly recommend Alexandra if you need someone to take great care of your fur baby!

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Joshua Tree on Rover is $64 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $42 and $104 per night. 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 long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of October 2026, there are 333 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Joshua Tree. 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 Joshua Tree 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 Joshua Tree 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 Joshua Tree.

<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 Joshua Tree 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.
