“Our now 16 month old doggy jumps out of the car every time we drop him off, and runs to Sierra's front door, never looking back to say goodbye to us! He thinks he's going to summer camp each time! He can't wait to get into the back yard and and run and play. It is so comforting to us knowing he loves being with Sierra. She takes the best care of him and always sends pics of him and his "campers" play and running in that wonderful back yard. Thank you, Sierra for taking such good care of our sweet boy!”
“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.”
“Maggie took care of Frankie, our 1 year old AusieDoodle for a month. There were many trips to the dog park, and many playmates as well when Maggie took care of other dogs. Maggie even took her for a trim and bath at our request. Frankie came back to us healthy and happy. We are very pleased with the care Maggie gave Frankie and highly recommend Maggie to anyone who needs dog sitting services in the area.”
“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!”
“Our 2 dogs stayed at Brandon’s overnight for the first time and it seemed to be such a great experience! He took them for walk, played with them and made them comfortable by letting them being themselves. He sent us detailed information about how things were going twice a day which made us feel that he was taking good care of our pups.”
“Katie was really good. She took care of George for a week and sent daily updates. I could always reach her. You can see she loves dogs and was great with George who warmed up to her very quickly.”
“Jackson and his home was a great and safe place for us to leave our puppy, Monty. Monty was tired and happy when we came to collect, which was the sign of a great time! Jackson and his family are well versed in all things dog care and both super responsive and accommodating to all timing needs. Would throughly recommend to anyone looking to leave their four legged children in good hands.”
“Elizabeth was great taking care of our puppy. She showed him love and kept on sending pictures and videos throughout his stay. He looked so happy with her. I will definitely use her services again. Thank you so much Elizabeth.”
“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!”
“Amazing job looking after our Weimaraner while we were out on holiday for a week. So flexible and understanding when our flight got delayed, and kept us updated with pics. Thank you again Whitney and Justin you guys are the best!”
“Wow! What a great time Bee had with Brandon. He is obviously a big dog lover and gave our very young and energetic and, yes, mischievous pup full time attention. She came home so tired and calm. We got frequent communications so we never had to worry. We appreciate the flexibility and devotion shown by Brandon, and will definitely call on him next time we are in the Palm Springs area.”
“kevin was very attentive and wanted to make sure he kept our pups’ routine the same. he was patient with our nervous pup. his pups were excellent with our dogs too. he is very responsive. would book with kevin again!”
“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!!”
About: As a lifelong animal lover, I understand that every pet has a unique personality, routine, and needs. My goal is to provide safe, dependable, and loving care so you can have peace of mind while you're away. As a full-time educator, responsibility, patience, and clear communication are second nature to me. Whether it's daily walks, drop-in visits, overnight care, or simply giving your pet extra attention and affection, I'll treat them like they're my own. I'm comfortable following detailed care instructions, administering medications if needed, maintaining feeding schedules, providing regular exercise, and sending plenty of photo updates so you always know how your pet is doing. I believe pets thrive with consistency, kindness, and lots of love, and I look forward to getting to know both you and your furry family member! Pet care fits naturally into my schedule, and I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. At the moment, I have weekend availability and am accepting bookings, but if you needed some flexibility just communicate and we can work out scheduling. I will provide the same reliable, attentive care and will do my best to accommodate bookings whenever possible. I believe consistency, communication, and making your pet feel safe and loved are the most important parts of every visit. I am currently in apartment living, so regular walks and potty breaks are given. I have a small dog Arlo, so your animal will have a companion here to play with. Dogs are also allowed on the furniture for cuddles or dog beds if they prefer. I have two kennels, so if your pup is kennel trained I will use at your preference.
“We had such an amazing experience with Joy and her husband Luis! They took wonderful care of Bodhi over the weekend. They were incredibly sweet and attentive, making sure he felt comfortable and loved. I really appreciated the consistent updates, messages, and adorable pictures throughout the weekend—it gave me such peace of mind! We will definitely book with them again.”
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.
“Helen was so loving and attentive to all Chewy's quirkiness. I felt so confident leaving him for an overnight stay. You can just sense the dog lover within her the first time you meet her. I will definitely call on her for both both short and longer stays.”
About: I’ve been a dog lover my entire life, and dogs have always been a central part of my home and my heart. Over the years I’ve cared for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments, so I’m comfortable handling everything from daily routines to those moments when a pup isn’t feeling their best. I take pride in making sure every dog in my care gets plenty of walks, playtime, and the kind of attention that keeps their tail wagging. Whether your dog needs a calm companion or an enthusiastic play session, I’m here for all of it and will treat them like my own. I’m retired and home all day every day, so your dog will always have someone around. I’m around morning, afternoon, and evening love having a pup by my side throughout the day. I live in a condo with access to a fenced yard, so there’s a safe spot outside for fresh air and playtime whenever your pup needs it. I have a dog of my own at home, so your dog will have a buddy to hang out with as well.
“Erin and Alex were amazing sitters for my pup, Phoebe. She can get a bit anxious but she immediately warmed up to both of them. Erin kept me updated throughout the stay with photos and texts. She was extremely professional, caring, and took extra special care of my girl. Phoebe was right at home when I arrived to pick her up and I could tell she had been well cared for.”

Brandon was an excellent choice for someone to watch our pooch while we were out of town. He was very attentive to her needs and followed our instructions/requests well. He clearly cares about the animals he watches, and I'm sure our pooch thought it was a fun vacay too. I would not hesitate to use Brandon again.
Sierra was great. She's very responsive and accommodating, and sent us pictures of our pup, Maya, while we were gone. Maya was in great spirits when we picked her up. We will definitely reach back out to Sierra next time we need a sitter. Highly recommend. Thanks, Sierra!
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Rancho Mirage on Rover is $52.5 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Boarding 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 Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 361 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Rancho Mirage. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter on Rover has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
91% of Rancho Mirage sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Rancho Mirage landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
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.
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.
