“Judith was great! Our little boy seemed to have a great time with Judith. When we picked him up, of course he was overjoyed to see us, but them when we were about to pull away, he had his head out the window as if to say, "aren't you coming with us, too?" Judith sent us pictures and notes of assurance that all was good. A+”
“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.”
“Kristine went above and beyond for my older frenchie! Made sure to follow all his dietary needs, took him on walks to the park, and extra cuddles. Sent a ton of photos and I felt so comfortable with her watching my dog! Will absolutely be using her again in the future”
“I appreciate the initial meet and greet, that’s always important. I also loved the updates, but was sad I missed Quinn’s first experience with rain. She came home from boarding super tired and happy though, and that’s what matters most. Highly recommend and Uncle Matt is Quinn’s new favorite place to visit! 🧡🧡🧡”
“Katie and her daughter were simply amazing! Our puppy loved them! They played with her, rubbed her ears, and took care of her in such a calm, loving way. Seriously the best Rover Betty sitter we ever had.”
“I feel so very lucky to know Brandon and Billy. They cared for Kepler like he is their own pup. They pet sit for the love of dogs. Kepler was so happy to see them and had a great time. Our fluffy guy was very safe at their fully fenced home and welcome to run around like a crazy man. 10/10 Stars!”
“Fantastic Dog Sitter!! Julie and her husband went above and beyond expectations. I picked up very happy dogs with the long walks and extra special attention they provided. I very highly recommend!”
About: Hello! Tina & Jason here, a couple of lifelong dog lovers who absolutely adore dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities! I spent two years with the SPCA in Orlando, Florida, caring for furry friends and helping them find their forever homes. We also had a rescue dog of our own and experience with shy, timid, and lovable pets. We’re both kind-hearted, patient, and passionate about animals, and we’ll make sure your fur baby feels safe, loved, and right at home! My partner will be the one handling the walks, making sure your pup gets plenty of exercise, fresh air, and adventure. Together, we make a great team and will treat your fur baby like one of our own. We’re flexible and happy to accommodate your schedule, including last-minute requests. Please reach out to us directly to get your pup taken care of! We can’t wait to meet your four-legged family member. Lots of love, attention, tail wags, and FUN guaranteed! Pet care is a natural part of my daily and weekly routine because I genuinely love spending time with animals. I make sure to plan my days around walks, feeding, playtime, and attention for any pets I’m caring for. I’m very flexible and can adjust my schedule to fit the needs of your furry friend, including morning or evening walks, potty breaks, or extra cuddles. I enjoy creating a consistent routine for pets so they feel comfortable, happy, and loved while you’re away. I have a very old dog named Biscuit. She is definitely my snuggle buddy. At home, Biscuit is allowed to roam anywhere in the house. Your fur baby can do the same!
“Nuvea was amazing! She has a great place and a real understanding of and attention to the needs of pets! She was so nice to work with and was incredibly understanding and accommodating when I messed up the dates of my trip and we had to extend our puppy’s stay! We will definitely be using her again!”
“Sam and his partner Darrell took such great care of our little 14-year-old Chihuahua, Bentley. We could not have asked for more caring, understanding and attention for our little guy who has heart difficulties and is on three medications. We received multiple pictures daily and assurances that he was eating and all was well! We had so much peace of mind the week of our daughters wedding in Palm Springs, knowing our little guy was in such great hands. We will be calling on Sam each time we go to the desert now, instead of worrying about what to do for dog sitting. They are the kings of little dogs!❣️?❣️??”
“Alan & Joe are amazing. This is our 3rd time leaving our girl Sammie with them. We can always enjoy our trip knowing she’s in great hands! Very communicative and they make sure to send great pics (: Definitely our go to anytime we need a sitter!!”
“Shelley did a great job at taking care of our baby, Charlie. He has a ton of energy and she ensured he got lots of exercise and playtime (hopefully not wearing her out too much in the meantime!) He slept really well after we picked him up😃 Shelley gave video updates and we knew he was having a great time! We will use her again in the future!”
“Emily & Nesha have a lovely home. When we (Ralph & I) entered their place we immediately felt very comfortable. I was very nervous leaving Ralph with people he didn’t know. He was so comfortable that I was a little hurt (: he didn’t make a fuss when I left him. He makes more of a fuss when I leave for the grocery store, so he was definitely happy with Emily & Nesha. They sent lovely photos of him while I was gone. I was able to not worry about him at all while on my trip and that was a wonder feeling. I was able to really enjoy my friends in Chicago. If I need a sitter again I will definitely use them again.”
“We love Angelica. My two dogs love staying with her. My older puppy relaxes with her, and my younger puppy plays with her and her dog. 💕 We always book with Angelica.”
“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!”
“I highly recommend Edgar! He was kind, patient, and communicated wonderfully throughout the entire experience. I felt confident knowing my dog was in good hands. I would absolutely book with him again!”
“Tatem is the best! She’s watched Kennemur twice now and handled her meds with no problem. She’s always super responsive to check-ins and sends regular updates with photos of the animals playing, cuddling, and clearly having a great time. When we pick Kennemur up, she’s happy, relaxed, and ready for a nap 💤 Highly recommend!”
“Colton was the perfect sitter. There was never a delay in communication, he sent videos and photos, and made sure my girl was very well taken care of. I would totally book with Colton again and recommend him 10/10.”

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
94% of sitters in Thousand Palms can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Thousand Palms. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
