“Jackson continues to exceed our expectations! From the moment we dropped off our Dobies, we knew they were in great hands. He kept us updated with photos and messages throughout their stay, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was obvious they were having a great time, and they came home happy, relaxed, and well cared for.”
“Judith was great! Our little boy seemed to have a great time with Judith. When we picked him up, of course he was overjoyed to see us, but them when we were about to pull away, he had his head out the window as if to say, "aren't you coming with us, too?" Judith sent us pictures and notes of assurance that all was good. A+”
“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!!”
“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!”
“Valiantsina and her son did a great job caring for my baby boy and kept him active and entertained inside while it was extremely hot out and walks had to be short. She was very quick to respond and sent pictures and videos while I was away, which made my work trip much less stressful knowing he was in good hands! I would definitely rebook with her!!”
“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!”
“Helen is amazing! We left our 6 yo Great Dane with her twice in one week and, let me just say, that driving over for the second time, once we entered Helen's complex our girl would not relax...she was so excited to go play with her new friend again. Dane's are amazing dogs, but they do have unique "Dane" needs but as Helen is very experienced with Dane's I never stressed once. Thank you Helen for welcoming my girl into your house and providing her with amazing care.”
“I recently had my dog Cali boarded with Brandon, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. Brandon was incredibly attentive and caring, ensuring that Cali felt comfortable and loved throughout her stay. He took her for Fetch ( Cali favorite activity)maintained her feeding schedule, It was clear that he genuinely cares for animals. I highly recommend Brandon for anyone looking for reliable and compassionate dog boarding care!”
“Francis took amazing care of my pug puppy who had never been boarded before. She kept me updated throughout the days with fun pictures, kept my puppy well occupied with walks, cute games and treats! She groomed and bathed him and thoroughly pampered him. I felt such peace of mind knowing my puppy was in such secure and caring hands. Thank you, Francis R. 💖”
“Thank you so much Erin & Alex! Thank you for letting Tobi stay with you guys in your home. We were kept up-to-date with messages and photos throughout the weekend. I could tell Tobi had a fantastic time with you both and look forward to using you guys next time!”
“Brianna was so loving and caring to my Raaksha, and went above and beyond for him!! She was sitting for another dog too as well as had her own dog and quarantined them safely while giving them all the love and care they needed. I highly recommend her!”
“Kevin was great. His communication was fabulous keeping us posted on our little boy. He even sent pictures, which we really appreciated. I would definitely recommend him to anyone who wants to know their pet is in good hands.”
“Amy went above and beyond for my dog daughter Dooda. Communication was 110%. In fact I never had the opportunity to reach out on my own during her stay because Amy was very diligent with photos and updates. I could tell she had a great time during her stay & even showed signs of missing her weekend getaway sitter! I’m sure this will be my go too for sitting when In need! Thanks again!”
“Sam took great care of our little baby (mini dachshund, Nacho)! He sent us photo and video updates every day and Nacho looked very comfortable and happy at their home!”
“I highly recommend Edgar! He was kind, patient, and communicated wonderfully throughout the entire experience. I felt confident knowing my dog was in good hands. I would absolutely book with him again!”
About: I am a dog lover….I have a white lab of my own. Maybe you’ve seen us walking on El Paseo in the morning, it’s my favorite part of the day It's nice to have guest dogs at the house to play with Bella, particularly since her big brother passed a couple years ago. Bella likes to play and be chased, she's a bit lonely without Beau I will treat your dog/dogs like my very own, I am protective, caring and patient. Your dog will be safe and happy spending time with us. I'm available for boarding from 8 am - 5pm Monday - Friday, most Saturdays too. I work from home so they have constant care and attention. Guest dogs in my home have access to being inside or outside. I have clean fresh water bowls, a doggy door, plenty of toys and if your dog is a swimmer they can swim.
“5 stars all the way! Ayman was a great host for our little Japanese Chin, Lucy. Ayman took care of her for a week while we were out of the country and always made sure to send pics and updates about how Lucy was doing. We will definitely be using Ayman in the future!!!”
“We are so fortunate to have found Eric. He shared photos showing just how much fun Riley was having during his sleepover. We look forward to future visits. Eric, thank you for taking such good care of our excitable boy.”
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.
The median cost per night for dog boarding in Rancho Mirage is $63
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Rancho Mirage
We are not from California, but had a weekend excursion in which we needed to leave our 2 mini schnauzers. It was also our first time using Rover. Sierra put my mind at ease right away! She gave the girls time to warm up to their new environment, sent photos and little updates of their stay. So thankful for her opening up her home to our little fur babies…I’d definitely book Sierra again. Thank you!
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!

You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.
94% of sitters in Rancho Mirage 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 Rancho Mirage 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 Rancho Mirage.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Rancho Mirage. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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.
You and your Rancho Mirage 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
