“Sierra was super great and communicative throughout the entire interaction, from prior to dropping our dog off at her house and during our dogs stay. She sent messages and updates throught and was very quick to respond. Thank you Sierra for caring for our doggy so well. We appreciate you so much knowing our dog was in good and caring hands.”
“Gloria, Was wonderful with our two Cockers for 7 days. She updated us twice a day with pictures and also sent message when she need to adjust food or clean our dogs ears. We have other booking with Gloria. We both can't wait to see her and her Husband again. Tamera & Roy Mlakar ( Daisy and Char)”
“I was so glad that Maggie was available to take care of my doggy again on my recent visit to Palm Desert. I think Chalie remembered what a nice time he had the last time he stayed there because he wagged his tail and did not even look back as Maggie walked him to her home. Indeed, he got lots of love and attention from Maggie’s son and seemed very happy on all the pictures she sent. I hope to use her services again next time I am in Palm Desert. I highly recommend her.”
“Judith was amazing. She was very good at communicating and sent me lots of pictures of my dog (even though my dog is camera shy). She was really flexible and worked with me when my schedule changed a bit. I will be picking to send Vexy to her house next time we need a Rover.”
“Alice did an excellent job with our dogs. It was our second time using her. We were gone for ten days for our wedding and felt very comfortable knowing they were in her hands. When our flight was delayed last night she was kind enough to drop them home at no charge so that our babies would be there on arrival. We will definitely use her 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!!”
“Absolutely the best. I have a difficult dog, and Candace was extremely confident and loving with her. I have full peace of mind when she's watching my dog. Thank you Candace!”
“very accommodating she sent me lots of pictures and updates of my fur babies you can tell she loves animals and they love her, I would most definitely use her again! ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️”
“This was our first time using Rover instead of boarding and our experience was fantastic. Brandon sent texts twice a day with pictures on how Lola was doing. We were able to enjoy our stay in palm springs without worrying about Lola. If we stay in palm springs again we will definitely use again.”
“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!”
“I booked a two-week vacation and needed someone truly special to care for my dog, Ella. Most kennels in the area have no dog limits and don’t separate by size. Not the right fit for my sweet, slightly bougie girl! Matthew offered the perfect blend of comfort, safety, and home-style care. His house is pet-friendly and charming, with a doggy door to the front patio and another to the back, so Ella could choose where to lounge. He limits the number of dogs he watches, sent regular photos and updates, and was wonderfully flexible with drop-off and pick-up times. Ella looked so happy and relaxed in every picture. It gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. I couldn’t recommend Matthew more highly, and I’ll definitely be rebooking with him in the future!”
“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!”
“Why can’t we give six stars?! Elizabeth went well above and beyond taking care of our young 4 month old puppy Daisy! She sent constant photos and updates, helped her a ton with her potty training and took her for walks! If Elizabeth is available we will be choosing her to watch Daisy from now on. Can’t recommend her enough!!”
“Don was great with our dog Jack when we had to go out of town for a few nights! He sent photos to keep us updated and was very accommodating when traffic delays meant we were late for our arranged pick up time. Don clearly loves dogs and has a great approach with them. We'll be back in touch whenever we have to travel again.”
“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.”
“Katie is wonderful and treated our dogs Molly & Griffin awesome. I was thinking that the two of them were not going to want to come home with us when we picked them up. Thank you Katie for the care and the sharing of photos of them while we were traveling. Katie is highly recommend from us and our two pups.”
“Emma took wonderful care of my dog. Easy and prompt communication, and she was very accommodating to my drop off and pick up time changes. Super nice as well (she gave me extra poop bags because I ran out!). Will definitely rebook for next time.”
“Joan and her husband were a godsend for us! In town for only a month we wanted to get away for an overnight trip and they took in Gizmo as their own. Joan kept me informed of Gizmo and took some of the best pics ever. I was at peace with their care of him and we had a great trip. Thank you Joan!”

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.
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.
We couldn't be happier with our experience! Mara was fully prepared, she had already read through Rover reviews to understand Thumper's history before he even arrived. That kind of thoughtfulness goes a long way to making us feel comfortable. He was welcomed warmly from the start and clearly felt right at home in her care. We'd recommend Mara without hesitation and are already looking forward to Thumper's next visit with her!
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.
