About: My family has had dogs ever since I was a baby. I didn’t own my own dog until I met Buddy and we have since then been inseparable. We go to the dog park every single day to play with all the other loving dogs. I’m currently working from home and am very flexible. Can take your pets for a walk and play with them outside or inside. They will be loved. I am proactive and will encourage the pups to run around outside, play fetch, and wrestle each other. Buddy would love more friends to play with.
“Thnks again Alex for taking such great care of my lil Hershey girl. She appeared to be very happy when I picked her up. Looking forward to another meet soon. BTW, I did receive her treats🐶🥰”

“I dropped my crazy 8 month old puppy off with Grey for the day while we explored non-friendly parts of Joshua Tree NP. It was so nice to let my puppy off leash and let her play with Billow! And I had Grey drop my pup off which was super helpful. I forgot to pack dinner for my pup and Grey fed her and sent her with extra food. You can tell that she really cares about the wellbeing of the dogs she cares for <3 Highly recommend! Your dog is in good hands with Grey and her dog crew! Highly recommend”

“The dogs came home tired and happy! She also took precaution to separate our smaller dogs from the bigger ones at the start till they were more comfortable which I really appreciated :)”

About: I have 30 years of experience caring for dogs and understand that every pet has a different personality, routine, and comfort level. I work from home, so the dogs in my care receive close supervision, frequent attention, play, and regular potty breaks. I am comfortable caring for senior dogs and dogs with special needs, and I can administer oral or injected medication when provided with clear instructions. Pet parents can expect thoughtful communication and photo updates while their dog is with me. My goal is simple: to help your dog feel safe, understood, and at home while you are away. I work from home and have a flexible schedule, which allows me to give pets consistent attention throughout the day. I can accommodate regular potty breaks, playtime, walks, feeding routines, medication schedules, and plenty of companionship. I provide attentive care in a non-smoking home with a fenced outdoor area and a gated dog park nearby. I supervise pets closely, follow each owner's feeding, medication, exercise, and household instructions, and take introductions at the dog's pace. My resident dog, Bart, is part of the home, so I want to understand how each guest is socialized before booking. I am also respectful and careful when providing care in a client's home. Please share any routines, triggers, medical needs, or safety concerns so I can create a calm, comfortable stay.
“I cannot say enough great things about Taura! My boys were with her two full days while I visited Joshua Tree and I had ZERO worries leaving them there. Laura was so welcoming and has such great space for dogs to run and play. This was great for them as we were on a cross-country road trip and they spent lots of time in the car. Taura was awesome at sending updates and videos, so I knew they were having fun the whole time. Taura is am amazing and interesting woman, and I think our paths will cross again. Taura- thank you from the bottom of my heart!!”


“We had a very nice experience with Lacey. She took care of our 1 year old dog for 2 days. Our dog seemed to have had a great time and was happy to go there the second day. Lacey also shared lot of pictures of him during his stay.”

“Johna made our trip to Joshua Tree so much fun!! It was awesome to be able to go hiking while knowing our two dogs were well taken care of. She is such a kind and caring person, and showed our dogs so much love. She figured out exactly what they liked, and ended up giving our puppy her favorite toy at the end of our trip. I can’t recommend her enough!!!”

“Salina and her family were amazing. They were available pretty last minute for us and we’re super grateful for that. They were so easygoing and friendly throughout the whole process and they took great care of our big energetic boy. They’re local for us and are going to be our go to when we’re looking for a sitter or overnight care in the future.”

“Felice really goes all out for my dog who is hyper. She cares for her and walks her and does everything to make it a great experience for me and my dog. Highly recommend her.”

“Ashley was so great with my 7 year old border collie, who loves fetch and cuddling, both of which she was given plenty of ❣️ She watched my dog two days in a row, while I was in joshua tree and she was so lovely! Thank you, Ashley, and thanks for taking such great care of aubi and for all the stellar recs around town!”

“Although my daughter's service dog goes with us everywhere, we decided it was best to leave him in capable hands while we enjoyed a tip to the Living Desert near Palm Springs, CA. Nuvea was available last minute to care for Huckleberry in her home. He enjoyed a play date with a few fellow canines and a cat. Nuvea was able to accommodate treat time and dinner for him and excursions in her backyard. When we returned Huckleberry was happy and ready to resume his care for his girl. We were pleased he had a safe and cool home to rest in while in our absence. I highly recommend Nuvea and her happy pup safe home for care.”

About: Hello, my name is Seana, my experience comes from having grown up with pets of many kinds, both my own and others. I can feed, bathe, clean up after, walk and play with your dog. There may be times where I may need to bring another dog with me, so if you could please let me know how your dog is with others, then I can arrange accordingly. To contact me I would appreciate a phone call to arrange a meet up. Thank you for your time and I hope to hear from you and your pet soon. I am currently job hunting, so I am always home with plenty of time to care for your beloved pets. I only ask to arrange a meet and greet before a service is booked. I live in a house on 5 acres of unfenced land. I do have a cat of my own so overnights will have to be at my home, otherwise I am flexible.
“Viviana and her family are amazing. They took such fantastic care of my boy. Since he is a special needs dog, it takes someone special to give him the care he needs. Viviana did a fantastic job. I think he wanted to stay with her more than coming back home with me lol! I will be coming back to Viviana whenever my boy needs boarding or other care. Thank you!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Joshua Tree on Rover is $41.07 per day (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

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 Joshua Tree 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.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Yes, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 298 sitters in Joshua Tree, 92% respond to messages in under an hour.
You can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care today or tomorrow, you can look for sitters with a "calendar last updated" notice on their profiles.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
