“Chris is terrific! We are in Palm Springs for the film festival and were able to squeeze in another movie last minute and Chris is our hero or we should say Rosies hero. He came last minute and took her for a walk.”
“I had a wonderful experience with Molly and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for reliable, compassionate care. She was professional, communicative, and clearly has a genuine love for animals. I always felt confident that my pet was in great hands, and I appreciated the updates and photos that gave me peace of mind while I was away. Chewbacca was happy, well cared for, and excited to see her each visit, which says a lot. She was dependable, attentive to my pet's needs, and went above and beyond to make sure everything was taken care of. I’m grateful for the excellent care and will definitely be booking with Molly again!”
“This was our first time using Rover, and therefore our first time having Jon walk our dog. We asked Jon to come by each day at 7, as it gets pretty hot here in the desert quite early in the morning. Sammi is used to hour long walks as well. We can say Jon did not disappoint! He was at our house every morning at 7 on the nose and gave our Sammi a full hour walk each day. They walked a mile plus on each journey and Sammi looked forward to seeing him every day. Could not have asked for a better experience!”
“Kevin did another terrific job walking Hugo when I had to go out of town at the last minute. It’s always reassuring to know he’s always in good hands when I need to travel.”
About: I have cared for large, medium, and small dogs for 15 years. I also have cat care experience. I studied animal science at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo, so I can also care for livestock and various species of animals more than cats and dogs as well. I have a BS degree in Animal Science and Agricultural Science, a master's in Agriculture and currently working on my doctoral degree. Currently, Fall 2026, for my day job I am a high school teacher who teaches classes in veterinarian sciences, livestock management, plant science and horticulture, floral design, and landscape design. I am enrolled in a doctoral program and beginning my dissertation work. I would like to help care for pets to help relieve stress and offer help to fellow pet owners. I care for pets across the Coachella Valley. I have a fenced backyard. One friendly dogs to keep your furry friend company. I can crate. Can crate and walk as well as play every 2 hours. Reach out if you have specific requests.
About: I personally don’t have any training or senior care experience but I do have experience from my own dog I learn to clean up after her walk or feed her just the basic steps but it is my job to take care of dogs and give them what they need. I am always available to play and walk with the pups! My schedule is Mondays-Fridays from 8 AM to 6 PM . I currently have a morning job on the weekends I live in a safe gated community with friendly pets, I treat my dogs as if they were my children they give me life! Plenty of dog food and training pads as well and some turkey snacks too!
“Ashurina was fantastic! She was able to walk my dog at the last minute when we were stuck in unexpected traffic. She went above and beyond and made sure he had everything he need. Great communication too.”
About: I did start taking care of pets when I was in junior high! I grew up with beagles; I think I’m a fourth generation beagle owner, and my dog Lear is truly a wonderful host . He adores everybody, and they all seem to love him, too. My backyard is essentially for the pups , several lounging areas for the perfect noon time sunbath. We also love the dog park. 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 pups love sunning themselves all times of the day. I’m normally always home except for quick trips to the grocery store or an occasional lunch out ; otherwise I’m here , hands-on!
About: Joe and I have had dogs (Dalmation) and cats (Ocicats, Siamese) for as long as we've known each other. They become part of the family. We both work from home so your loved ones will get maximum attention, care and love. We look forward to providing the best possible care for your "family" member. We can give shots and medications where necessary. We are at home workers so your pet will have the needed attention all day and night. Alan used to show Dalmations and also showed Ocicats. We have raised several litters of dogs and cats and pets are always in a loving environment. We keep the house pet safe and the "guests" pretty much get the run of the house. We are conveniently located in the Desert Princess gated community on the North end of town where Cathedral City and Palm Springs meet. The community has one of the best areas for walking dogs with miles of trails.
“Bubba (large crazy Aussiepoo) immediately loved Eric when they met. He comes barreling in after his walks. Evidently they have a great time together! Eric is a great person and I am happy my furry friend and he get along so well. Highly recommend”
“Sarah was great with my two boys. She went out of her way to make sure they both felt comfortable and even carried my little pup at first because he was pretty tiny to keep up with my older dog. I would definitely recommend her to anyone.”
About: My daughter Ary and I run this business together. We own a house in a prime location 1 mile from the airport. We are both huge animal lovers! Dogs are amazing. Every single dog has their own little unique personality and I’ve never met a dog I didn’t love. My daughter and I run this business together and one of us is always home so your pet will get plenty of attention and never left on their own, I have a fenced yard that is very secure and I never leave the dogs out there on their own. Animals have the run of the house, & they are allowed on all furniture.
About: I have hands-on experience caring for three high-maintenance, large-breed dogs—including walking, bathing, feeding, and handling their unique needs. I understand how much care and patience big dogs require, and I’m confident in managing strong, energetic pups with love and consistency. I currently work part-time, which gives me plenty of flexibility during the week and availability on weekends. I enjoy spending time with animals and have time to play, walk, and care for them just like I do with my own dogs. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or my client’s, I treat them like family. I follow any instructions closely—feeding schedules, medications, walk times, and special needs. I make sure pets feel safe and loved by keeping their routine consistent, giving them lots of attention, and respecting their space. I also keep the home clean and tidy, just as I would want someone to do in mine.
About: I have pet sit for many neighbors and family friends since high school. I am great with any kind of animal and at any age. I also can administer any medication for any animal if needed. I am a full time student and my schedule is pretty open. I get my school schedule a couple months in advance, so we would be able to work around both our schedules =] I have a pup of my own and I would care for your pet as if it were my own. We can go to the dog park, beach, or long walks (whatever you're comfortable with). I am good with special instructions such as food supplements or food restrictions.
The median cost per walk for dog walking in Palm Springs is $25

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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Palm Springs on Rover is $26.75 per walk (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Walking easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Walking. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 822 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Palm Springs. 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 your Palm Springs. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Palm Springs.

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 Palm Springs. On Rover:
- 95% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 99% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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 short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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. Most pet parents and walkers 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.
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 walker.
