About: I love pets and I’ve taken care of dogs for friends and family, along with my own pup for 10 years. Im also experienced with senior dogs. I work from home full-time, which makes it easy for me to adapt my schedule to pet sit on your preferred schedule. I’m also very punctual and great at accommodating your needs! I can pet sit at your home, vacation home, hotel, or wherever you might need me. For house/pet sitting, I will send a daily update/photos at the minimum, but can send more depending on your preferences. I’m here to ensure your pup is safe and well taken care of while you’re away! Please note that I require confirmation of flea preventative treatment before pet-sitting. I have a flexible, work-from-home schedule and no kids which allows me to have a very adaptable schedule to pet sit. I’m up early and adjust walk schedules based on temperature in the desert. I can do drop-in or pet sitting at your home. I’m very clean and tidy and will take care of your pets as if they were my own!
“We received a perfect dog walking service from Valerie while visiting Indio. Thank you, Valerie, for helping out our girl! Valerie is very professional, punctual, walked our dog more than the required time on every walk, and sent great pictures. After our meet and great we felt totally at ease and comfortable with the dog walking arrangement. Thanks again!”

About: I have taking care of pets since I was a little girl. I myself have two small/medium dogs who have been part of our family for many years, and who I love very much. Family friends have asked me in the past to take care of their dogs so I have quite experience with dog sitting. I am currently not working but will begin school soon this month but I will only be attending school twice a week and I am very flexible with my schedule to accommodate yours and your pets. I am looking to care for pets at the clients home whenever is necessary. I am willing to spend the night at my clients home if necessary I am very flexible with my schedule and will care for my clients pets.

About: I may be fresh-out of highscool, but I offer a lifelong passion for animals and have the practical skill set to take care of them. I provide precise and thoughtful care that is specific to each animals’ needs. I am comfortable handling newborn fosters, strict diets, senior dog care, and medication management. I am excellent at handling large dogs and take pride in caring for dogs with behavioral needs. I understand how big of a responsibility it is to take care of your animals, and I am available 24/7 by phone and will send constant updates. Thank you! 🐾 I attend college online and work a part time job in the evenings. I have a dog and a cat, I know how important animals are and always go out of my way to make sure they are safe. With a background in babysitting, I understand how quickly things can change in a split second. I like to always have eyes on my fur babies; even if they are in the same room as me. I have handled difficult, unpredictable animals with ease, using quick-thinking skills to mediate and correct such behaviors.
About: I have been caring for dogs and cats all my life with my own pets and or family members pets as well! On top of that, my Mom also has her own in-home dog care business through Rover, which I do help her with. Most of our smaller pups tend to cling to me, which I adore. Especially if your doggo is a cuddler, your pet and I will have a grand ole time. I currently work part time, with that being said, I will always have time for your littles and bigs, both before and after work! Currently I work Fri-Sun 9am-5pm, and when any changes arise I always let my pet parents know in advance to make sure both you and your pets stay as happy as possible. When booking with me, it really is always smiles :) I’m able to spend my night and or day with your pets in the safety of your home. Playtime, love and walks would be completely unlimited. I also love to take photos of your pets, to update you throughout your booking, as if you never left!

About: I’ve always felt drawn to animals, even as a toddler, and I’m grateful they have always been in my life one way or another. I grew up surrounded by dogs, cats, parrots, bunnies and I’m 200% comfortable around all types of animals, including yours! Most of my happiest memories of a child include being around dogs and I have continued to be involved in their care in professional as well as volunteer-based ways. I consistently donate my time to rescues by fostering them, setting up adoption events and volunteering at shelters. I’m also the kind of person who will stop to say hello to a dog walking past me in the street. I adopted my own five-year old rescue, Pippin, who LOVES other pups and is happy to keep them company with me when boarding a dog in our home. I’m an active individual…exercise is very important to me—both for myself and Pippin, and I am a great match for high-energy dogs. At a bare minimum (unless otherwise specified by the owner), I make sure we walk for at least an hour and if your pup needs more exercise, I am more than capable of exercising for multiple hours! I go above and beyond with communication by sending regular photo, video and text updates in real time so you know your pup is healthy, happy and secure when in my care. I also make sure I understand your pup’s usual schedule and then do my best to stick to their regular feeding times, activity times (and level) and play their favorite games. Does your pup like hiking? Great, because I do too! In short, I get to know my clients’ dogs’ favorite things to do and then make sure our time together is a healthy mix of the activities they enjoy. It can be difficult for a pup to trust a new person right off the bat so I take the time to earn their trust through belly rubs, ear scratches, cuddles and healthy treats. I have over two decades of experience caring for all types of breeds, temperaments and sizes, and I do whatever it takes to understand their quirks and then tailor my care to their specific needs. I work as a freelance copywriter but besides that my schedule is wide open for pet care during the evenings and on weekends. I have a student mindset and am always interested in learning as much as I can to provide your pup with the best care possible. Send me a message, I can’t wait to meet you!
About: Hello! My name is Andrea and I’m here to offer you my simple services as a companion to your four legged friends and family in the hopes of getting them the best care possible. I’m located in a perfect epicenter of local parks, and a dog park with both large and small dog capabilities - all around than a 20 to 30 minute walk away. If dog parks aren’t to your pets fancy, I have a large fenced backyard for them to run around in under supervision, and can even set up a play pool for the heat. Out door activities not to your pets liking? Perfect, a day of cuddling inside or in bed is fine by me. If a home visit is more your style, or your buddy needs more intense one on one action — that’s fine as well, as I am more than willing to travel to give your pet the best personalized care possible. I have experience with puppies and kittens as young as a few hours old, and pets in their golden days who require a more delicate touch. Food or toy aggression? No biggie, every animal has their quirks - we can figure it out. I love any and all animals, and would love to be a stepping stone on your pets journey. As always, your health and that of your pet is of utmost importance so all safety precautions are taken to ensure no harm comes from giving your pet the care they deserve.

About: Growing up with dogs, I’ve developed a deep love and care for all animals! I truly enjoy spending time with these furry companions and making sure they get the love and attention they need. I really enjoy our walks at the park close to home. We can snuggle together while I’m doing my homework, and I always have a blast playing fetch and tug-of-war with my furry friends!⚽️🪁🤗 I have a spacious patio where you can safely crate your pets if needed. They’ll have plenty of room to play and explore. I’m always vigilant about leashes and aware of other dogs in the area.🧘🏻♀️🏠

About: I’ve cared for all types of pets—cats, dogs, birds, fish, and even a chameleon! I love animals and currently own multiple pets, giving me hands-on experience with different personalities and needs. I provide attentive, reliable care for both young and senior animals. I can provide morning care, and depending on your needs, afternoon, late-night, or overnight stays. I’m flexible and prioritize keeping pets comfortable and on their routine! I provide a safe, clean, and calm environment for pets, whether in my home or yours. I care for cats, dogs, fish, and even a chameleon, following all instructions and supervising play to ensure every pet feels comfortable, loved, and secure. Fun fact! I also volunteer once or twice a week at pet smart with the cats and feed them and take care of them for an hour!
“Sarah was great with our dogs! She was very patient getting them to warm up to her and took one for an extra long walk to give more time for them to do their business. Highly recommend, would book her again”

“Marisa was wonderful! She took great care of Kylo while we were away and kept us updated with messages and photos after each walk, which gave us so much peace of mind. She was also incredibly flexible and accommodating when our travel plans changed, and we really appreciated her understanding. It was clear Kylo was well cared for and happy. I would absolutely recommend Marisa to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy dog walker, and we look forward to booking with her again!”


About: I've been a pet owner my entire life. From being raised on a dairy farm, to owning a small hobby farm, dogs, cats, chickens, goats, and horses have all been a huge part of my life. Transitioning to a "snowbird," lifestyle, I have more time to spend loving on my own Frenchies and other people's pets as well! I have a lot of experience with dogs that need special attention to diet, allergies, specific schedules etc. Would love to meet you and care for your animals treating them as if they were my own! I'm retired and have a flexible schedule. I'm active with several hobbies but also available most days unless otherwise noted. I exercise a lot so love to walk and play with pets as much as possible. I prefer to care for pets in your own home, keeping it simple for you and your dog to be comfortable in their own environment.

I have a fenced in yard, and do not like to leave pets alone for more than 10 minutes. I am very involved and love animals.
About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and caring for them comes naturally to me. I have years of hands on experience with dogs of different ages, sizes, personalities, and energy levels. I’m comfortable with everything from puppies who need extra patience and structure to older dogs who may need a slower pace, medication reminders, or a little more reassurance. As a pet owner myself, I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else’s care. I pay close attention to each pet’s routine, personality, comfort level, and individual needs. I’m experienced with feeding schedules, walks, playtime, basic commands, crate routines, administering simple medications, and providing lots of love and companionship. I treat every pet as if they were my own and always want them to feel safe, relaxed, and cared for while you’re away. I’m dependable, attentive, patient, and happy to keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is in loving hands. Thank you! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I already prioritize time for walks, feeding, playtime, companionship, and plenty of attention throughout the day. My schedule allows me to be consistent and dependable, so your pet will never feel rushed or overlooked. I enjoy spending time outdoors, taking walks, and having animals nearby, so caring for pets feels like a natural and enjoyable part of my day. I am also flexible and happy to follow your pet’s usual routine as closely as possible, including feeding times, bathroom breaks, medications, exercise, and bedtime habits. My goal is to make your pet feel comfortable, loved, and secure while you are away. Thank you! Whether I am caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I do my best to keep their routine as familiar, comfortable, and stress, free as possible. I follow all feeding instructions, walking schedules, medication needs, bathroom routines, crate preferences, and household rules carefully. In my home, pets receive plenty of attention, affection, playtime, exercise, and a safe, welcoming environment. I make sure they have a comfortable place to rest and never feel overlooked or alone. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I am respectful of their space and focused on helping their pet feel secure in their familiar surroundings. I provide regular updates, photos, and messages so owners can feel confident that their pet is happy, safe, and well cared for. I treat every animal with patience, kindness, and the same love I would give my own. Thank you!
About: I’ve had both dogs and cats since I was 5 years old, giving me more than 40 years of hands-on experience caring for pets.

Pet care has always been a part of my daily routine. I structure my schedule to ensure pets receive the attention, exercise, feeding, medication (if needed), and companionship they deserve.

My goal is to provide dependable, loving care while giving pet owners peace of mind knowing their pets are safe, happy, and well cared for while they’re away.
“Marc is excellent. He’s prompt, well prepared and has a great attitude. My active dog had a strong workout and can’t wait for her next walk with him. I highly recommend Marc as a responsible, conscientious and motivated walker.”

About: Hi, I’m a professional dog trainer by trade with forty years experience. My training methods are always very gentle and balanced. I work from home in the La Quinta/Indio area. When you board your dog(s) with me they will always be loved and cared for, and will live and sleep indoors. While you are away I can send photos and videos. We take walks in the mornings. I only keep a couple of friendly dogs at a time. You are also welcome to stop by and inspect my home (bring your dogs so they can also check it out!). I can also pick up and deliver (limited range) at your schedule. Board your dogs with us over the holidays, or anytime knowing they will be safe and happy. I’m a professional dog trainer and I also board and walk dogs. I work from home mostly so I always have time and room for one more! Forty years professional experience with dogs. I’m home most of the day. We take morning and evening walks weather permitting. I closely supervise my pet guests!
The median cost per walk for dog walking in La Quinta is $25

Angelina responded quickly to my initial request for a meet & greet, which was a pleasant surprise after receiving no response at all from a number of other prospective walkers. My lab, Cali, and Angelina quickly bonded and we agreed to a 4 walks/week schedule. Cali clearly enjoys the hour long sessions with Angelina, arriving home afterwards nicely exercised & wanting a nap. Angelina is always on time and communicates clearly with any modifications to the schedule. We couldn’t be happier with the care & attention Angelina provides and strongly recommend her!

The average cost of Dog Walking in La Quinta is $21 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $0 and $34 per walk. On Rover, walkers 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 November 2026, there are 584 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across La Quinta. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in La Quinta. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include a map of the walking route, the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.
The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in La Quinta after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.
Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the walk begins.
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 walker 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.
Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in La Quinta. On Rover:
- 90% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 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.
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 walker 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 walker 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 walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
walkers on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
