“Jackson was great! Super on top of communication and I felt very comfortable leaving my two dogs with him overnight. I was grateful for the updates with pictures. The pups were as happy as could be when I picked them up. I definitely recommend Jackson and will use him again!”
“Matt took great care of our dog Mason. He’s a great communicator, sent regular updates and photos, answered every question and took care of dietary needs. Mason came home happy and relaxed. Thank you Matt! Will definitely book again”
“THE BEST! When simba and I originally met Brandon and William we knew we had found our dogs best companions! They were so gracious to invite us in and show us the space Simba would be staying in. On Simba's visit we were always provided updates and photos. Brandon and William are so kind and loving, your pet will go to the best home. Truly so appreciative for their care! Thank you!”
“Ary watched my two dogs Ringo and Zero for the second time. She was super easy to work with, responsible and friendly. Highly recommended to anyone looking for someone reliable.”
“Sierra was absolutely wonderful to work with. Extremely accommodating and looked out for our Australian Shepherd's best interests. Was wonderful in sending pictures each day along with updates. We are so grateful.”
“Simba enjoyed his stay with Don. It is very reassuring as an owner to have that trust in someone with your pup, but it means even more when I see Simba’s happiness when he is with Don. I’d never hesitate to have Simba in his care!”
“Joan and her husband took such great care of our cat! They sent lots of pictures and texts letting us know that he was doing well, and that they were interacting with him. I will absolutely rebook in the future.”
About: I am a single man who lives alone and loves animals sometimes more than humans.😂 I can’t think of a time in my life where I didn’t have a dog or cat. My pets are my family. I will give your pets the same attention and care as my own. I am pretty much a homebody so I spent a lot of time with my animals. My dogs are leash trained so we go out for walks around three times a day. Unless you request more of us if not there is a place in the backyard for them to go will keep your dogs on whatever diet you request. My apartment is very animal friendly plenty of toys and beds. I am very cautious I don’t have anything that would could be harmful to pets safely put away.
“Lynn was amazing! We felt so good knowing that our little Lexi was in good hands while we took part in a Tournament. Lynn was flexible with our time frames and we would definitely recommend her and use her next time we are in town!”
“I can’t even begin to describe how wonderful our experience was with Mark! He is exactly who you want to care for your dog. Mark is attentive, thoughtful, empathetic, and caring. And his dog training skills really help. We have a 5-year-old Akita who is a can be full of energy and can be a recipe for disaster. Mark was incredible with her! He goes above and beyond to make sure your dog has everything they need and has fun doing it. He was patient, loving, gave her so much attention, including taking her out for walks thru centennial trail and the river nearby all the while kept us updated with pics and texts. Unagi had an amazing time with Mark, and I could tell she had a great time when we returned to pick her up. Highly recommend him to others.”

“We hit the jackpot finding Osamu and Darrell. This was only our second time leaving our beloved pup and he couldn’t have been in better hands. They gave continuous updates/photos and treated Gomi like a part of the family. Gomi felt quickly at home and safe and it showed in the photos they shared. I felt so reassured knowing that he was happy! I really appreciated the kindness and flexibility and I look forward to my return to the area so that Gomi can hang out with these two amazing humans again. Thank you a million times, Osamu and Darrell❤️”

“It’s not easy leaving your fur babies with a stranger, but meeting Tanya was like catching up with an old friend. Tanya had my spoiled little pups feeling right at home. She reached out every day with reassuring check ins and photos. Tanya’s beautiful home is thoughtfully appointed for all your pup’s needs, including a well maintained and large backyard with secure fencing and plenty of room to run around, roll in the grass, or splash in the pool. Tanya’s attention to detail and questions about my dog’s wellbeing were met beyond expectation. I can’t recommend Tanya enough! My Canine Kids now have someone they love and I sincerely trust.”
“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 👌🏾”

“Patti was a godsend to us when we had to leave our small pet for a weekend to attend a family event in Seattle. We had just arrived in Palm Desert for a month, and knew no one and no place that we trust to take good care of our little pet. Patti responded and gave Sydney lots of TLC and genuine care during the time we were away. We are very grateful to her.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Rancho Mirage
Brandon provided a wonderful experience! He was incredibly communicative, flexible, and so easy to work with. My dog was happy, healthy, and clearly well exercised when I got back. I really appreciated how attentive and reliable he was throughout. Not to mention, he took some incredible photographs of my dog! You get a photo shoot and an incredible dog walker all in one… That’s a win! I would absolutely book with him again and highly recommend!
Jennifer took great care of my baby girl 🐶 (PomChi) while I was away for a few days for work. I got regular pictures and updates that let me know my baby was doing well. Will definitely be rebooking as my dog clearly enjoyed herself during her stay— Jennifer has a clean safe home and lovely dog Stella and I think my little girl made a friend! She was exhausted when we got home so I know she had a good time!
Angie and Mike were great with our dog Blue. They gave her so much love and care and we were totally comfortable leaving her with them. They were accomodating to our schedule and were super easy to work with. We would not hesitate to ask them to watch Blue again in the future. Highly recommended.
Penelopi had a wonderful stay with Brent. He was so good with her & assured us in every way we had nothing to worry about. He was very good with her medication routine also & being that she's elderly, he spoke loud for her & treated her like family. He sent us photos & updated us throughout her stay * for that, we were very appreciative. His yard area was a perfect place for her to run around & his home was set up very comfortable. Her bed even had a beautiful view.
Our Pet sitter backed out at last minute-looked online and found Rover-Called three numbers and all three answered back in a timely manor. After interviewing all 3, only one, Mary could accommodate our needs. After meting Mary, we knew she was the perfect person for our dog and immediately made our reservation. Mary was the BEST! We are so grateful she was able to care for our dog. I would highly reccommend her to anyone who has a dog big or small. Our dog is over 70 pounds and she did a perfect job. Thank You so much for your service.
Tanya was an excellent choice for our 2 pups. They boarded at her home for 11 nights. She sent awesome pictures frequently. They settled in quickly and were super calm when we picked them up. We highly recommend Tanya and will use her services again when we return to the area next year.
Chyna is amazing!!! I can't say enough good things about her! This review is after the second time she watched our frenchie Remy. (Tried to leave one the first time but it was our first time using rover and got confused). We were thrilled after our first experience with Chyna and we were so excited she was available to watch Remy again. I would recommend Chyna to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and communicative sitter! She went above and beyond making sure Remy was taken care of as he normally is at home and made us feel so comfortable!! Lots of updates and photos :) We were able to enjoy a long wedding weekend without worrying how he was doing. It is such a relief to find someone you trust with your pup, we will book with her anytime when we are in the area! She is exactly what you would hope for and we can't thank her enough!!
Bunny was so kind and patient with my pup right from the start. She made him feel comfortable and loved and I could tell my pup felt right at home. She sent pictures and updates as well which was so nice and much appreciated. She’s professional and communicative and I will 1000% use her again. 10 out of 10.
Our little Oliver is a picky little guy and doesn’t like staying with just anyone. He loves staying with Rui though! Rui always takes such good care of Oliver and his updates and videos show us how well Oliver is doing. We wouldn’t Choose anyone but Rui-he’s really the best!

Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Rancho Mirage home-away-from-home, 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 Rancho Mirage.
<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.

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.
