About: I’ve been a dog lover my entire life. I grew up with a poodle, then multiple Beagles, a terrier and later a Bull Terrier. I often watch my neighbor’s 15 year old chihuahua . I’m a sr.myself, with an adorable beagle; I’m home 98% of the time, and being of service for pets gives me great joy. I raised an Eagle Scout ,who graduated from MIT, and I sold diamonds and Rolex for years at Ben Bridge in Redondo Beach. Thank you so much for your trust . I always go above and beyond. I roast a lot of chicken , AND, I have a fun backyard just perfect for naps and zoomies. Working on my pet spa area for future special smaller pet pampering services. Researching spa lines! I’m a senior who spends majority of my time at home with my pups. Lots of attention and interaction , and backyard breaks . Pup heaven! I have a lovely fenced in backyard, and my own pup loves sunning himself at all times of the day, with my supervision. My large sectional has a great view of hummingbirds and humans, and it’s pup-popular. I’m normally always home except for quick trips to the grocery store or an occasional lunch out ; otherwise I’m here , hands-on, throwing balls, petting lovelies all day. Balm for my soul.

Our 8 yr old St Bernard was not impressed with us taking him to the desert & had a tough time adapting to his new surroundings. As a result, we spent a great deal of time inside the house with him during our “getaway”. We are incredibly grateful to have found Chris who proved to be incredibly helpful & reliable for the rare days we needed to break free. He was always prompt to respond to requests & was very accommodating! The report cards & pictures were a Bonus! Thank you so much. Chris!
Once again, JIMMY did an amazing job despite the short notice of my request. My boys love him and loved the walks that he has taken them on. JIMMY is always on time always super polite, and a pleasure to deal with. Cannot recommend JIMMY highly enough.Fantastic Rover experience thanks to JIMMY.
We highly recommend Megan! She walks our Doberman pup twice a week and has been reliable and professional. Her excellent communication (including timely updates and photos) gives us great peace of mind, and it's obvious how much our dog loves their time together.

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 your Palm Springs. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

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.
