“Sarah was great with our dogs! She was very patient getting them to warm up to her and took one for an extra long walk to give more time for them to do their business. Highly recommend, would book her again”
About: I grew up on a farm in England with working dogs, which gave me a love for animals and led me to a life working professionally with them. After 32 years of running my own pet care business in Los Angeles, I relocated to the Coachella Valley where I continue to walk, exercise, and socialize dogs, while also working as a dog trainer. I'm available Monday thru Friday from 7am until 5pm, so we can work out walks and visits depending on your schedule and your dog's needs. Your dog will always be walked on leash, with the exception of fenced dog parks. Dogs can be crated during transport, if that makes them more comfortable. With my many years of experience, I know exactly how to work with dogs with a focus on the safety, calm, and happiness of the animal.
“Kyla has been great with our two dogs for walks during the week while we are at work. She is friendly and the dogs love her. She always gives notice if she has to change the schedule and has been understanding when we have a change.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs for at least 10 years, mostly with having my own. I know they are a big part of our families and how much we love and care for them. I am great with playing and cuddling and walking and absolutely love it. I currently work from home and so I have plenty of time to schedule dog walks, care and dog sits according to what is needed. I have a large green belt, that is very private. It is not fenced, but I have the ability to take the dogs out as much as needed. I also live in a very nice area where I have many trails and beautiful areas to walk.
“Just started to work with Kristina and so far GREAT experience! On time, very respectful of property, my whippet (Fiddler) enjoys his time and is well cared for! Looking forward to many re-bookings!”
About: I have always had animals. From cats, dogs, chickens, ducks, cows, and sheep. From babies to elders. My love for animals has always been a source of joy in my life and I would love to care for yours too! I did just have a baby over the summer so I would have him in tow with me at visits. I am a stay at home mom of a beautiful daughter and newborn son, 2 dogs and 3 cats. I am available to come by as needed to ensure your babies are taken care of. I am very diligent in following directions to ensure your pets safety and your peace of mind. My pets at home are treated like they are my children and I know you feel the same about yours.
“We were out of town for our honeymoon and leaving our dog behind was honestly one of the hardest parts, Claire made the entire experience stress-free. She went above and beyond caring for our dog, kept us updated, and treated him like her own. Coming home to a happy, well-cared-for pup meant everything to us. Reliable, kind, communicative, and genuinely amazing at what she does . We are so grateful and will be booking Claire again in the future!”
About: Hi there! I’m very observant and caring with pets. I have a lot of experience in senior care. My own dog, who passed in 2024, lived to 15 years old, was blind and diabetic. Because of him, I’m comfortable with special care needs. I am a full time nursing student at College of The Desert. My availability/calendar on Rover is always updated and accurate. I provide dog sitting services on a part time basis during the semester, which runs from 1/26/26-5/22/26. Unfortunately my home does not allow pets so I can only sit in the pets/your home! I am excited to meet your fur baby and give them all my love, care and attention! I like to send a lot of photos and videos because your comfort is my comfort (Unless you ask me not to!) One thing that really helps things go smoothly is a detailed schedule & notes (written or typed) for your pet if they have any. Please let me know if there’s anything else I can do to keep your pup safe and happy.
“Marc is excellent. He’s prompt, well prepared and has a great attitude. My active dog had a strong workout and can’t wait for her next walk with him. I highly recommend Marc as a responsible, conscientious and motivated walker.”
About: I spoil,teach them tricks, love them give the spa treatment spend most of my time with them I hold them and I will love your pet like it was my own. I keep them out of danger I will keep them from other dogs if there would be a fight. I will walk you dog often because I am a Walker myself. I am a kind and loving person who only want the best for animals especially pets I believe they should always be treated good with kind word not harsh or raise your voice and safety is very important to me. I had pets of all types and animals seem to be attracted to me and they come up to me and lick me. I love them too. I am currently not working this is my only job I wish to do, so I have plenty of time to spoil and take good care of your pet. I will walk you pet every two hours and love them like they are my own family. I will spoil them and give all my attention to them.
About: I have taken care of pets ever since I was 7 years old. I had pet sat dogs and cats; puppies and kittens. I pay attention to your pets body language and cues to make sure they are well and happy. I am a university student currently with lots of free time! I am currently unemployed, focusing on school, so whenever you need it, I am there I have a large fenced yard. I have pets at home that stay separated to keep everyone safe. I check on what your pet usually touches like food bowls, potty pads, etc., and refill and maintain as needed.
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.
“The best! Shayna knows how to listen to my instruction & cautions then cares for my Frenchie genuinely-she communicates along the way to keep my worry & anxiety down. I feel so lucky to have her! She is a sweet, kind person & I highly recommend her”
“Excellent! Mara is the real dog whisperer! And we’re so happy too with excellent communications, punctuality, and true interest in our pup’s welfare. Based on her observation, we made our subsequent appointments for Bearie’s walks to much earlier in the day due to harsh heat we’re having. We appreciate these concerns which speaks to “what’s best for Bearie” is Mara’s operative concern. Good job Miss Mara!”
About: Vet assistant in training aspiring to be a vet technician! Here to help keep your mind at ease of who’s taking care of your pets. Since I’m in training right now I’ll be free after 5:20 and that gives me the rest of the evening off. I should be done mid December and from there my schedule should be more open. I can only care for cats in my home, dogs will have to be at owners home. All cats will have to be up to date with their vaccinations as well.
About: I can address the unique requirements of large and small breed dogs. I provide specialized care for senior and advanced senior dogs, ensuring their golden years are comfortable and healthy. I work full-time but seasonally at a large local hotel and my hours vary. I have a very flexible schedule and can work around calendar based obstacles. I find that most animals actually like to stay in their own yard, but if need be, I do have decent sized back yard and it is secured by brick walls / concrete barriers.
About: I care about the quality and attention that I give when taking care of pets. I used to walk 8 pugs at a time. I was known as the pug walker. I am a lecturer in communication studies and believe in clear and open communication with my clients. I promise to treat your pets as if they were my own. Kindness and compassion are a big part of my philosophy of life. I will give your pet love and my undivided attention when I care for them. I am an animal lover and love cats and dogs equally. I have always had both cats and dogs but currently do not have any pets. I look forward to hearing from you and hope that you can sense that I am a great petsitter. I am currently working part time and have a great deal of flexibility for taking extra special care of your fur babies. I love spending time with all kinds of animals. I am respectful of space and treat anyone's home with care and utmost respect. I am willing to work together to create an excellent experience for everyone involved.

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 Rancho Mirage. 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 Rancho Mirage.

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 Rancho Mirage. On Rover:
- 94% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 99% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
