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.
“Grace was lovely! I asked her kind of last minute to help walk my mom’s dog and she was there promptly at 8 am before the desert heat got too bad. Stella had such a great time! Will definitely call Grace for future walks.”
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!
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 :) The months of December-Jan 2026 I will be taking some time off from pet sitting. 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.
About: I have hands-on experience caring for three high-maintenance, large-breed dogs—including walking, bathing, feeding, and handling their unique needs. I understand how much care and patience big dogs require, and I’m confident in managing strong, energetic pups with love and consistency. I currently work part-time, which gives me plenty of flexibility during the week and availability on weekends. I enjoy spending time with animals and have time to play, walk, and care for them just like I do with my own dogs. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or my client’s, I treat them like family. I follow any instructions closely—feeding schedules, medications, walk times, and special needs. I make sure pets feel safe and loved by keeping their routine consistent, giving them lots of attention, and respecting their space. I also keep the home clean and tidy, just as I would want someone to do in mine.

“Taunya helped my fiancé and I in a pinch when we needed our dog walked while we skied. She was communicative, prompt and sent photos even though it was only a 30 min walk! I really appreciated knowing how our baby was doing while we were out for the day. If you need someone to care for your pup in Bend, definitely recommend Taunya!”
About: With over 10 years of experience owning and operating a grooming and boarding facility in Houston, Texas, I bring professional, hands-on expertise to every dog I care for. As a devoted dog owner myself (four fur-kids and counting), I’m comfortable with pets of all ages, temperaments, and needs—including administering medication, handling anxious or difficult dogs, and, of course, managing the occasional mess with patience and care. I pride myself on being reliable, punctual, and attentive, but most importantly, I genuinely love dogs—and they know it. When you’re done booking, be sure to tell your dog I said hi. I’m semi-retired, which means I have the flexibility to provide reliable, around-the-clock care for your pets. Your dog won’t be squeezed into a schedule—they’ll have consistent attention, supervision, and companionship. As a longtime dog owner myself—sharing my home with an Olde English Sheepdog, Border Collie, Shih Tzu, and Miniature Poodle—I’m experienced with a wide range of breeds, sizes, and personalities. I treat every dog in my care as if they were my own—with patience, attention, and genuine affection. In my home, your rules. I'm fine sleeping with dogs. I'll feed and play on your established schedule. I'll order in if the dogs can't be left alone.
“I had a wonderful experience with Molly and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for reliable, compassionate care. She was professional, communicative, and clearly has a genuine love for animals. I always felt confident that my pet was in great hands, and I appreciated the updates and photos that gave me peace of mind while I was away. Chewbacca was happy, well cared for, and excited to see her each visit, which says a lot. She was dependable, attentive to my pet's needs, and went above and beyond to make sure everything was taken care of. I’m grateful for the excellent care and will definitely be booking with Molly again!”
“Kendra was wonderful with my Collie Konrad greeting Bruce at the door with happy smiles. I would recommend Kendra for her loving happy care with Konrad. She has the best treats.”

About: Hello, everyone! I have a great deal of sitting and dog walking experience- I not only grew up with dogs and own a dog, but I started sitting for and walking dogs for multiple friends and clients about 8 years ago! I love animals and have taken care of lots of different animals- I also owned rabbits growing up, and I volunteered for a year at an animal shelter where I took care of the rabbits. I have also volunteered on farms, and have experience cleaning for and caring for goats, sheep, pigs, and horses! I am so excited to meet all the great dogs and dog owners in this area! Walking and taking care of pets is a great joy and privilege :) Let's connect today! Please note that my rates for doggy daycare are also for 8 hours of care! If you need more time, let me know and I’m happy to accommodate you! I work part-time from home, so I have plenty of time to provide lots of care for pets and take them out frequently on nice walks! I currently live next to several dog parks and nice walking trails, so I can take them out in these areas and play with them!
“Ashurina was fantastic! She was able to walk my dog at the last minute when we were stuck in unexpected traffic. She went above and beyond and made sure he had everything he need. Great communication too.”
“Ashley was amazing! We really appreciated her last-minute flexibility when our puppy desperately needed a walk after being inside all day while I was working. She was able to accommodate us on short notice, which was such a huge help. Our pup had a blast with her! Ashley was also very accommodating with our request to take her for an indoor walk since our dog is sensitive to the heat. She was communicative, reliable, and made me feel comfortable knowing our puppy was in great hands. We’re so grateful for her help and would definitely recommend her!”
About: I’ve had pets my whole life. From lizards to dogs to cats! I’ve even had a pet crayfish. Animals are my favorite and I’m more than happy to care for yours I work a semi rigid schedule, with check ins needing to be between certain hours In the mornings before 8:30, during lunch time between 11-2 and in the afternoon any time after 5 I am very quick with doors so any “escape artists” will have a hard time trying to get past me! I have a very level hand so no one is going to go hungry (or get too much) I do my best to be on time to everything and love taking pictures of pets in silly poses (you get to see your pets everyday you’re gone)
“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”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Walking in Thousand Palms is $21 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $21 and $22 per walk. On Rover, walkers set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

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 Thousand Palms. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include a map of the walking route, the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.
The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Thousand Palms after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.
Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the walk begins.
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 Thousand Palms. On Rover:
- 89% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your walker interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
walkers on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
