“Unfortunately, we had to pick up our dog early. However, ARY was very accommodating and helpful with transitioning our furry baby to a friend for his continued stay. She was very communicative and shared plenty of photos of Casper enjoying his stay with her.”
“Judith was absolutely wonderful with our Golden Retriever girl, Sage! She was very communicative throughout the entire stay, providing us with regular updates that kept our minds completely at ease. It is clear that she is incredibly caring and attentive, treating Sage like one of her own. We couldn't have asked for a better sitter and highly recommend Judith to anyone looking for top-notch care!”
“Matt was absolutely incredible! He stayed with our dog Nipsey for 3 days. Communication was outstanding, we got daily updates with photos and videos, which gave us total peace of mind. Will definitely rebook again!”
“Beau was very well taken care of and living his best life with Alan & Joe. I could tell how comfortable he was in their care, always running towards them and completely at ease. Thank you for giving Beau such a warm, loving environment!!”
“Osamu was just excellent, providing many photos and videos of Bobo's stay with him. Bobo oriented to Sam (Osamu) within a day and was very affectionate, and was rewarded with lots of lap time and pets. He was very happy as the photos and videos showed, which was a great relief for me. Thank you for the love and care for Bobo Sam!”
“This was my first time boarding my dog so I wasn’t sure what to expect. Dennis exceeded all expectations! He was very communicative, sent photos and videos regularly, and generally took great care of Uni. If we are ever in Palm Springs again I would 100% rebook.”
“Awesome with my older Great Dane! He loves going here. Megan is so sweet to try and comfort him when he gets anxious being away from mom & dad. We’ve used her a few times already and have another trip planned next month. We feel Cooper’s in excellent hands with Megan!”
“I could not have asked for a better sitter than Emma for my little guy. He can be sassy and from the moment he met Emma he was so stoked to hang out with her. She sent me pictures and updates throughout my whole trip and it was clear she was his new best friend! He was definitely a bit bummed out that I was picking him up from his week of fun with her. I will absolutely be asking Emma to watch him again any time I’m in the area and would recommend her 10/10!”
“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!”
“Very pleased with Nuvea. Did a great job communicating, including updates and photosduring the boarding. Explained how she would transition my dog into her home with her drugs and cat. Would definitely rebook.”
“My dog loves Mike. Yesterday was the first time Tuna stayed over night at Mike's house. He is knowledgable about dogs and also master at communication with dog's owners. He has his steps to make sure my dog would be safe and comfortable under his care. The house is clean and safe. He was really gentle with her. Tuna was anxious since I left her there after a long drive. But Mike handled her so well. He allowed her to be on his lap, his bed, even his office desk. Full time attention! Thank you Mike for your love and patient for Tuna. Pictures you sent to us was so cute. I saved them all. I heard lot of good words about you and I think you deserved it.”
About: I’ve cared for dogs most of my life, especially small breeds. I know how hard it can be to leave your best friend behind when you travel, so I make it a priority to provide a safe, calm, loving place where they’ll get plenty of attention and care. I also know how reassuring good communication can be, so I’m happy to send regular updates and photos while you’re away. Friends and family have trusted me for years with feeding, walks, playtime, and overnight stays, and I’m especially comfortable with seniors and dogs who prefer a quieter environment. My schedule is flexible, so either my partner or I will always be home to give your dog plenty of attention throughout the day. I only host one household at a time, whether that’s one small dog or a pair from the same home. Your dog will have a comfortable home, a secure fenced yard to play in, and plenty of time to relax and hang out with us.
“Shelly went above and beyond for my little pup who suffers from severe separation anxiety. We loved all of the photos and morning messages and appreciated Shelly's quick responses and flexibility. Will definitely reach out to Shelly again next time we are in the area!”
“Our 2 year old Basset, Odie, had the time of his life. He and Todd and his 2 Shih Tzu bonded instantly. Video updates showed how much Odie was enjoying his stay. Thank you Todd. Absolutely the best!”
“Tony seemed really great with my pup. Sent photos and updates regularly. Always nervous leaving my fur baby with someone new for the first time. Tony put my mind at ease so I could enjoy my few days away.”
“Geri was the best! Don't be fooled by her stern-looking profile photo; she is anything but! Super stylish and kind, with a huge heart. Our Roxy was very happy with her stay with Geri, and her home is beautiful, and every detail was accounted for in making it super doggy friendly. Her lil pup is also very sweet and got along very well with our picky, not-usually-a-dog-person dog, Roxy, which says a lot. Anyway, look no further, we highly recommend choosing Geri for your doggy needs!!”
“Jackson was very accommodating with drop off and pick up Times during the holiday season. He is very responsive to communication through the app. Chewy came back super happy. We will definitely use Jackson again.”
About: Dogs have always found their way to me. I've been around them most of my life, and there's something about calm, consistent energy that they seem to respond to. A friend would tell you I'm the person dogs gravitate toward at a party, and I'd say that's probably the most honest qualification I can offer. My most meaningful experience came with my own rescue, a shepherd mix I adopted at 7 months, trained from scratch, and cared for through 15 years of life, including her final year as a senior dog with mobility needs. I became practiced at daily medication administration, wound care, and the kind of patient, attentive routine that older dogs need. Senior dogs are a specialty I genuinely enjoy and take seriously. I work from home full-time, which means your dog won't spend the day alone. I'm here, present, and engaged — great for dogs with separation anxiety or those who simply do better with a steady human nearby. I take one dog (or one bonded pair) at a time, so your pet gets real individual attention. My home in Palm Springs is clean, quiet, and comfortable with direct access to a large greenway for on-leash walks right from my back patio. I know the desert schedule well, so in warmer months walks happen early morning or evening when it's safe and comfortable. I have a car and am happy to help with pickup or dropoff when needed. I'm comfortable with oral medications, mobility assistance, and dogs with special routines. My home is single-level — no stairs. I prefer dogs to sleep on their own bed or the floor (I'll have a comfortable spot ready), and I take one guest at a time to keep things calm and personal. Meet-and-greets are always welcome before a booking.
“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.”
“If you find yourself in need of a dog sitter in Palm Springs, then Vincent (Antonio) is your guy! He was so sweet to our pooch. We could not have found a better person to watch Beau. He even has a nice backyard space for the dogs to roam around. We would definitely use him again if we are in Palm Springs. His house is also very close to downtown which worked perfectly for us.”
The median cost per night for dog boarding in Palm Springs is $63
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Palm Springs
Emily & Nesha have a lovely home. When we (Ralph & I) entered their place we immediately felt very comfortable. I was very nervous leaving Ralph with people he didn’t know. He was so comfortable that I was a little hurt (: he didn’t make a fuss when I left him. He makes more of a fuss when I leave for the grocery store, so he was definitely happy with Emily & Nesha. They sent lovely photos of him while I was gone. I was able to not worry about him at all while on my trip and that was a wonder feeling. I was able to really enjoy my friends in Chicago. If I need a sitter again I will definitely use them again.
Simply put, Megan is amazing! Although we met her only briefly during our meet-and-greet, it was easy to tell that she is a genuinely caring person, so we had complete peace of mind leaving our fur babies with her. We used her pick-up and drop-off service which worked out great. The photos she sent throughout the very long day told the story of how our pups were cared for by Megan.
This is the 2nd time I’ve used Tony and I happily recommend him. He and Audry took great care of Frankie keeping me updated with photos, videos and texts daily to let me know how she was doing. He has a great place and it’s right across the street from a nice grassy park so that was a bonus. I’ll definitely use Tony again in the future.
This is the second time I left my little Amber at Judith. She likes the other dogs. When I picked her up she looked very good, happy, perky. She is 17 1/2 blind and deaf. I feel very comfortable leaving her with Judith, I know she is well taken care of. I recommend this special place very much.
If you find yourself in need of a dog sitter in Palm Springs, then Vincent (Antonio) is your guy! He was so sweet to our pooch. We could not have found a better person to watch Beau.

Dennis took spectacular care of my very large pup. He even picked him up and dropped him off at our house since I wasn’t able to drive him to Dennis’s house. He got plenty of exercise and I got a lot of updates on how he was doing. Highly recommend Dennis for any pet care.
Emma was amazing with our 2 boys. This was their first time with a dog sitter & they came back looking extremely happy. Emma was very responsive within a minute of each message. We even forgot to pack the dog food with last minute packing & she went to the store and got our boys some food. We will definitely be rebooking her while we are here in Palm Springs!! 10/10 👌🏾
We couldn't have been more thrilled with the care and attention that Mike gave to our dog while we were away. Mike was wonderful during the initial meet and greet -- giving our dog time to explore the house and become comfortable in a new place. Drop off was equally good. Mike sent regular updates and pictures and let us know everything that was happening. We could enjoy our trip because we knew that our dog was having such a good time. Our dog bonded quickly with Mike's dog Cooper, and the pictures and videos of the two of them playing together day and night proved how happy our dog was. We have never seen him that bonded to another dog -- we almost felt bad going to pick him up! Our return travel plans hit a snag when our flight was diverted to LAX, and Mike was super flexible about everything. He wanted us just to focus on our travel plans and it was not an issue for our dog to stay an extra night. We are already talking about where we can travel to next just so our dog can go back and spend time with Mike and Cooper! We would recommend him to anyone without hesitation.
Eric is a wonderful dog sitter - he housed our golden retriever and gave her great care, love and attention. Our dog came home happy and healthy. Eric also sent pictures, cute ones! Lastly, we forgot a few key dog items (leash, collar, etc) and Eric was totally flexible and able to adapt.
Second time this month hiring Kevin for boarding. It is such a relief to be able to drop off my dog, Blue, and know he is being well cared for —and having fun. Kevin takes Blue to his fav place, the Palm Springs dog park, and gives him lots of play time. I got in a jam and Kevin helped me out last minute which I truly appreciate.
Dolores took such great care of our dog Daisy! Sent pictures and updates regularly or as requested, followed all care instructions, and gave Daisy love the entire week! Daisy came home with a new toy given to her by Dolores for Christmas. I would leave Daisy with Dolores again for sure! Thank you Dolores!

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.
91% of sitters in Palm Springs 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 Palm Springs 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 Palm Springs.
<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 Palm Springs 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.
