“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.”

“Don was so nice and professional! We appreciated his flexible schedule and sent updates with photos and videos which gave us ease knowing our pup was in great hands. Don keeps a clean and tidy home and made sure to give special accommodations to help our pup take his medication as requested. We would definitely rehire Don next time we come to town!”

“We appreciate all that Erin & Alex do for our Tobi! They continue to remain his primary sitters! They are always communicating with us, sending videos and updates. It always helps us to feel at ease! Our little guy always enjoys his time with them and his mama’s appreciate that! Thank you both again & see you next month!”

“This is our second time we have had Joy watch our puppy and we simply could not be more pleased and comfortable. The photos and videos she sends for updates is so appreciated and comforting. Do yourself a favor when looking for someone to watch your precious little fur baby and give Joy a call.”

“I have to say that Dijanna is the best! She took super good care of my dogs while I was away and sent me plenty of updates about them. I’m so very very grateful for her. I sincerely wish her a magnificent New Year of complete success in her every endeavor!!”

“Katie took wonderful care of my special needs dog in a short notice situation. She was very easy to communicate and was flexible with me on pick up and drop off. She sent me lots of pictures during my dog's stay and checked in with me often. I can't recommend her enough! Most people would not open their home to a medical special needs dog but Katie did without a second thought. Thanks again for the wonderful experience. So grateful to have found you”

“Gloria took so good care of my Dooda! She gave the most in depth updates with pictures! I never had to worry about the quality of care and I rest assured knowing she was in good hands! She even provided some of Doodas favorite treats throughout her stay! Thanks again Gloria we will be back! <3”

“This was my first time using Rover and the experience exceeded expectations. Brandon and Billy are awesome guys and I had no concerns after dropping my two dogs off. Thank you both for treating the boys as your own.”

“We sure appreciated the care that Bailey got when we went on vacation for a week. Joan gave her lots of love, fed her well, went for walks and consistently communicated with us so we knew Bailey was doing ok while we were gone. Bailey loves her and it makes me feel good that she is taken care of very well if I leave her! ❤️”

“I left my puppy with Katie for a night and did not worry once about him. I was originally nervous to leave him since it was my first time leaving him since I adopted him, but Katie was so great at alleviating my concerns and understanding where I was coming from. She sent me multiple pictures of Archie throughout the night. I already booked my next stay with Katie! Highly recommend her boarding services.”

“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.”


“Amazing care. I am so glad I found Edith. I felt at ease knowing my cat was in good hands. She sent photos every day of my cat looking happier with her than me lol. Best caretaker for pets ever. I highly recommend Edith.”

“Elizabeth was a very great host for Mochi. She took numerous photos and sent great updates to let me know everything was going well. I’ll definitely have Elizabeth watch Mochi again if needed in the future.”

“Simon is always in good hands with Brandon! Not his first visit and won’t be his last ! I am always well informed and kept up to date about how Simon is doing and what he is up to. Brandon is terrific with all aspects and we so appreciate him.”

About: Hi, I’m Gema! I have 10+ years of experience in veterinary care and 8+ years as a professional dog groomer, allowing me to provide attentive, knowledgeable, and compassionate care while your dog is in my home. Pet care is fully integrated into my daily routine. My schedule is structured around feeding, exercise, medication administration, grooming upkeep, and close health monitoring. I provide calm, attentive, boutique-style care and limit the number of dogs I accept so each pet receives individualized attention in a clean, peaceful home. My veterinary background helps me confidently monitor health, recognize changes in behavior, and administer medications as instructed, while my grooming experience means I’m comfortable handling dogs of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments and keeping them clean and comfortable. I focus on reducing stress and creating a calm, positive environment. I treat every dog like family and strive to provide a safe, clean, and loving home while you’re away.
“Yesenia was great and so was her husband! They treated our two small dogs like their own! In fact, her two little Yorkies treated our Maltese & Morkie like family too! It was a great stay through Rover and we would use Yesenia again! THANKS Yesenia!!”

“Maria was amazing! I booked last minute and she gladly took Winston for the night. She sent multiple photos of him and gave me updates. Maria was also flexible with drop-off/pick-up. I highly recommend Maria if your in the La Quinta area!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Thermal on Rover is $111 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 260 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Thermal. 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.
90% of Thermal 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 Thermal 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 Thermal 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 Thermal.
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 Thermal 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.
