“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!!”

He kept us updated with photos and messages throughout their stay, which gave us so much peace of mind.

“This was the first time we've left our Labradoodle, Dexter, since getting him a year ago, so we were plenty apprehensive. Our worries were immediately calmed down as Maggie sent pictures and videos each day! She is also amazing at responding quickly to texts, so there were never any anxious moments on our part. Not only was there a fenced back yard for Dexter to run in, but Maggie took him on walks/jogs which he no doubt enjoyed. We hope she is available the next time we need to board him!”

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.

She took such wonderful care of Pepper while we were on vacation and kept me constantly updated with messages, photos, and videos. Her communication was outstanding and truly put my mind at ease. I never worried about him for a single moment. It was clear that Pepper was comfortable, happy, and genuinely cared for. I am so grateful to have found someone I trust and I will absolutely be recommending Gloria and booking with her again in the future. Thank you again so much!!”

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.

“Pip stayed with Katie for two nights, and I was a little anxious because he had only been away from me for one night previously and is a rescue with a little separation anxiety. Katie was great! She's very responsive and attentive, sent photos and reassured me periodically that they were doing fine. She took good care of him and it's clear that she understands and loves dogs. Thanks, Katie!”

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Thousand Palms

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Thousand Palms on Rover is $44.4 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 364 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Thousand Palms. 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 Thousand Palms 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 Thousand Palms 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 Thousand Palms 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 Thousand Palms.

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 Thousand Palms 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.
