“Nueva was a lovely sitter for Johnny. He really enjoyed his stay with her. She updated us throughout the week with texts and pictures, so we could enjoy our vacation knowing that our little dog was having a good time. Would highly recommend, and we will definitely use Nueva again if we travel without our dog.”
“Viviana and her husband were the kindest and perfect dog watchers. Their home is very cute and you know from meeting them once that your dogs are in good hands. Good communication and ease throughout. 10/10 recommend.”
“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!!”
“Excellent choice. Alan and Joe S were fantastic with our 3 y/ o Maltese. They sent several pics throughout and he looked quite happy and content as was on pickup 2 nights later. Very good experience. Will do with them again”
“Araceli was very responsive to our messages and sent updates that included videos and pictures of our pups. She took very good care of them. They had a wonderful time and came home exhausted.”
“Awesome pet sitter. It was the first time we have been away from our dog. Sam was very communicative and sent lots of pics and videos. It put my mind at ease, knowing our little Teddy was well taken care of while we were away. ❤️”
About: I did start taking care of pets when I was in junior high! I grew up with beagles; I think I’m a fourth generation beagle owner, and my dog Lear is truly a wonderful host . He adores everybody, and they all seem to love him, too. My backyard is essentially for the pups , several lounging areas for the perfect noon time sunbath. We also love the dog park. I’m a senior who spends majority of my time at home with my pups. Lots of attention and interaction , and backyard breaks . Pup heaven! I have a lovely fenced in backyard, and my own pups love sunning themselves all times of the day. I’m normally always home except for quick trips to the grocery store or an occasional lunch out ; otherwise I’m here , hands-on!
“April asked many questions on how to best provide for my dog's needs and provided the opportunity for a pre-stay meet and greet. She provided frequent updates and had no problem administering his medicine. She spent time with him and provided a safe environment for him to feel comfortable with her pets.”
“Willie loves staying with Lacey and her family. We feel so comfortable leaving him there knowing he’ll get a lot of love and attention. Whenever he comes home he’s tired and happy!”
“Carl took amazing care of my pup!! He was very professional and had a lovely home. My dog got along well with his pups, and he played with her as if she was one of his own. I fully intend to use Carl again in the future!”
“Kevin was great. His communication was fabulous keeping us posted on our little boy. He even sent pictures, which we really appreciated. I would definitely recommend him to anyone who wants to know their pet is in good hands.”
“Kevin, is an exceptional pet sitter, he provided top-notch care and thoughtfulness for our beloved furry companion. From the moment we met him, his warmth, humor and friendliness welcomed our dog to him right away. He displayed great affection and expertise in caring for our pet. Kevin's thoughtful daily updates and photos not only provided peace of mind but also filled us with joy and comfort. We returned from our trip to find our dog content and happy. I highly recommend Kevin's services and will definitely be entrusting our pup to his care again!”
“Rocio received my high energy super anxious German Shepard husky with true patience! Received photos and videos of her napping and playing during her stay. Rocio was flexible, understanding and I received great communication. Very sweet and down to earth. Leia definitely enjoyed her time there. Will definitely be booking with Rocio again!”
“We can't say enough good things about Louise! She took Raymond into her home and right from the first meeting, we knew he was going to be in the best care. He can be a bit pushy with other dogs but she let him play with her Lacey and they both had such a good time. Louise sent daily updates and photos and we didn't worry about him at all knowing he was in a great place. We highly recommend Louise if you're looking for the best in pet care!”
“Todd was exceptional! I have a rescue that hasn’t been left alone since I got her 2.5 years ago. Todd agreed to meet even before committing to a longer stay and it was great. He is a dog lover! He made my Maggie feel so loved and communicated with me throughout her stay. When we picked her up after her 3 day stay she was happy and showed zero signs of any changes whatsoever. It was clear that she was well cared like we would! Will definitely use Todd again. Very kind ❤️”
“Elaine was so kind and attentive to Mimi - She loved her stay even though it was for an extended time (15 days) -I was able to thoroughly enjoy my vacation without having to worry about my little girl .. I’m really sad that we’ll be moving next week to San Diego…. I would continue to use Elaine’s services if I was not … Thank you again !”

About: I grew up on a farm with all types of animals and I love taking care of them. Ive had dogs and cats all my life. I currently have two chihuahs, a German Shepard, and two cats. They are all friendly and used to other dogs and cats. I have experience taking care or kittens, cats, puppies, small dogs, and large dogs. I will walk them several times a day and play with them. I can house them overnight, watch them for the day, or just walk them. I have two separate gated yards where they can run around and play. They can also come inside the house since my pets are allowed anywhere in the house that I am. I have reliable transportation if housesitting is needed and I am available all the time.
“James is coming to my place to take care of my kitty 2 times a week since a year now. I travel a lot because of my work and can’t take her with me. I’m glad that I can rely on someone trustworthy and reliable.”
About: Since I was a baby I’ve been around and cared for cats, a large amount at a time too! I’ve had stray cats and those I’ve adopted or gotten from friends to love. I’ve always loved taking care of cats and playing with them is my favorite past time. I’ve learned a lot about cats and their behaviors over the years and have also socialized the strays I had to be integrated with the cats I already had. It’s a long process but a much needed one. I care so deeply about them and never want a cat to be mistreated or misunderstood. I’d take the very best care of all your cats and know that I’ll be their new favorite human with a bit of cat bribery of course :)
“Ashurina helped me out of a jam, was needing to head out of town last min. She came by the same day I called her to meet with myself and my 2 girls (fur baby cats). She checked in and updated me, sent pictures and had my 2 cats engaged during her drop in. Thank you so much.”

I treat every cat like family, making sure they feel loved, safe, and as comfortable as they are with you. Your cat’s happiness and well-being are truly my top priorities!

“Cesar is amazing!! He took care of my three cats while we were out of town for our wedding, over the past 9 days our kitties were in great care with Cesar’s drop in visits! He went above and beyond our expectations. Truly kept the litter boxes clean and swept around them! He changed their food and water and made sure they were safe! Cesar is trust worthy and respectful! He kept us updated throughout the whole process, sending us lots of loving photos and even keeping us updated on the weather! He is soo kind and truly loves animals, we have gold fish here too, even thou we were feeding them pebbles with the automatic feeder he noticed the fish and added some bounce flacks when he visited (out of the kindness of his heart). SO NICE! If you are looking for someone to care for your pets, I HIGHLY recommend Cesar he is very knowledgeable and caring, he followed every step I gave him and went beyond that. He even offered to have a free meet and great so the animals could get to know him! SO THOUGHTFUL. unfortunately my tight schedule wouldn’t allow it but, it’s the thought he puts in that counts!

Prices are estimates per day for 1 dog. Pricing may vary based on your search and includes a booking fee of 11%.
“Although my daughter's service dog goes with us everywhere, we decided it was best to leave him in capable hands while we enjoyed a tip to the Living Desert near Palm Springs, CA. Nuvea was available last minute to care for Huckleberry in her home. He enjoyed a play date with a few fellow canines and a cat. Nuvea was able to accommodate treat time and dinner for him and excursions in her backyard. When we returned Huckleberry was happy and ready to resume his care for his girl. We were pleased he had a safe and cool home to rest in while in our absence. I highly recommend Nuvea and her happy pup safe home for care.”

I’m patient, responsible, and love making pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I also have experience with energetic dogs and keeping pets on their regular routines.

I carefully follow feeding schedules, medication instructions, and any routines your pet is used to. I make sure pets feel safe, loved, and stress-free in their own environment while keeping owners updated with messages and photos.
“Viviana and her family are amazing. They took such fantastic care of my boy. Since he is a special needs dog, it takes someone special to give him the care he needs. Viviana did a fantastic job. I think he wanted to stay with her more than coming back home with me lol! I will be coming back to Viviana whenever my boy needs boarding or other care. Thank you!”
“It was a pleasure meeting with Carl, He got good care of my pup and have a lovely house. I will ask Carl for help again when I’m back here for mineral spirits water. Thank you Carl!”
About: Welcome! My name is Donna. Growing up, animals were always a big part of our family, so much so later in life I started a non-profit organization dedicated to helping animals in need. I’m passionate about animal health and safety and provide a safe, loving environment where your dog will feel safe, loved, and part of our family while you’re away. We live in secured community where your dog can enjoy playtime, relax indoors, and feel at home. We also have a sweet Cocker Spaniel named Chloe who is very social and loves dogs and people. I especially love caring for senior dogs and can accommodate administering medication, provided you leave clear written instructions. Your dog will receive plenty of love, attention, and personalized care during their stay. I look forward to hearing from you! Please note “no aggressive dogs.” Please provide vaccine paperwork. Please tell me all about your dog’s routine so I can accommodate what they use to. I enjoy engaging and socializing with the dogs in my care, so they are happy and at ease. If they prefer naptime instead of play or prefer to just chill, I can accommodate that as well. A typical day would start with potty outside and breakfast. Our yard is secure but for those who are comfortable walking on a leash, I take them on a walk around the neighborhood to start their day and provide activity.
“Elaine was fabulous! She was the perfect fit for Monte. They bonded right away. Elaine was flexible and easy to communicate with. Her home was clean and dog friendly. I would highly recommend Elaine and will surely use her services in the future.”
“I was extremely pleased with Angelica's care of my pug. She sent me a picture of how relaxed Junie was, sleeping on a chair. I will DEFINITELY contact her on my next trip out to the desert. 20+ stars to this lovely dog sitter”
“What a wonderful experience with Alfonso being there at the last minute to help with my dogs while at Joshua Tree. He was a great caretaker, very kind and great with my girls. I will definitely recommend Alfonso and request his help in the future! 5 stars.”
“Geraldine was very flexible and willing to take our beagle on a short notice. Geraldine was booked 24 hrs in advance to watch Honey while my husband & I went to a spa. We booked Geraldine for another successful evening of dog sitting in her home during our vacation in Palm Springs. Geraldine was a good match for dog sitting our chill 8 1/2 year old beagle. (We tipped her in cash, not using the Rover app).”
“April was so great with Jameson! I really appreciated the updates and it seemed like Jameson really enjoyed spending time with April and her family. Thank you all so much!”
“My husband works remote and had to travel for a conference pretty abruptly, so I was looking for doggy day care just a few days in advance and Katie was accommodating and easy to communicate with. Kugel had a great time and I know we’ll come back to Katie again!”
“Very kind couple that were super easy to work with and had a lovely home. They helped give me some much needed peace of mind by watching my dog over the span of a week as I worked on a project.”
“I've never left my new rescue dog with anyone and I didn't think he'd do well with a lot of dogs at a normal day care because he can get overwhelmed and defensive. Judith is a dog person. She understands them and was a great sitter. Once Goedy and her dog got to know each other they played and wrestled all day! I felt very comfortable knowing he was in a safe place and also having fun. Would 1000% leave my pup with Judith again.”
“Luz was the most wonderful, sweet and perfect sitter for our Lily. We really lucked out as she took us last minute. Lily enjoyed her stay and we got to see cute pictures of her exploring Luz’s beautiful garden. Thank you Luz without your wonderful care, we wouldn’t have been able to hike Joshua Tree 💗 highly recommend!! 100/10 😊”

“Tony took care of my sweet girl during our stair at Palmer Springs it was so good to find him as Tala sitter as he treated with care and love towards my pup. I recommend him to everyone. Thank you, Tony!”
“Mark was wonderful with Our dog. Bo can be pretty nervous around new environments and people but he warmed up to Mark quickly. We will definitely have him watch Bo again.”
“Today was Termie’s first doggie day care visit with Stephen. Even though I had a really nice meet and greet with him last week, I was still a little nervous about leaving my baby with any new person. But with Stephen I felt good because he’s had a few Toy Poodles himself and we shared pictures of our Toy Poodles with each other. When I dropped Termie off very early this morning (6am), Stephen welcomed me and Termie and reassured me all would be fine. And when I came back at the end of the day to pick him up, Stephen and I shared some more stories about Toy Poodles for about 20 minutes… and sure enough, my dog was actually ignoring me and sitting in his lap the whole time we chatted. At that moment, seeing my dog stay by his side instead of mine, I knew Stephen and Termie had bonded and that Termie must have been well cared for. I can’t express how relieved I am to have found somebody who knows and appreciates Toy Poodles, but also a sitter who is very kind and friendly. It was just a great first day experience and I am so happy my dog will be staying with him a couple days each week. Thank you again Stephen for being so nice to both me and Termie. I can’t thank you enough!”

Do you work nights and hate leaving your babies alone? Are you going to a fancy dinner and want to make sure your pets are okay when you're gone? I can come by and give you some peace of mind. I can also care for other pets, including lizards, fish, hamsters, rabbits, etc. I am a huge animal lover. I adopted a senior dog years ago and he was the best dog ever, up until his very last day in December, 2023. Our household has water snails, fish, three cats, a dog, and a pig! I have experience with rabbits and hamsters and other small pets, and I have experience with special needs animals. My longest boarding to date was 5 months for a senior cat with Cerebellar hypoplasia. My schedule recently changed, so I am available on most days for drop-ins and walks. I also offer boarding, house sitting, and daycare. We are a very animal friendly household. I have a fenced yard and a kiddie pool so your doggos can play and keep cool!

Dogs under 1 year and/or "bully breeds" will be accepted on a case-by-case basis.

When damage occurs, it is usually caused by pets that do not crate or have high anxiety when left alone for even short periods. My policy on dog breeds and sizes is in place because of two separate incidents. First, I lost a beloved pet to a boarded Rover doggo on Christmas morning, 2020. Having to put my little pig Minnie in the freezer after being attacked on Christmas morning was a horribly traumatic experience. In June 2023 I was attacked by a 110lb Rover dog at a meet and greet and had to go to the hospital. If the owner had not been present, I would have been killed. These are incidents that I will not risk repeating. Thank you so much for understanding!
About: I have taken care of dogs for eleven years. As of right now I have two german shepherd, husky mix 1 year olds. I got them when they were 4 weeks old, they are absolutely my best friends. We spend all the time together, we love playing fetch and chase. I’m kind of a stay at home dog mommy. I am not working, I stay at home with my fur babies. I have extra time to help others with their fur babies. I love being around dogs. Im very aware of surroundings, especially with a fur baby. Once when taking my babies on a walk, they were attacked by another dog and it made me become even more protective than I was. I know how it feels to have people not respect the rules that we make for our babies, so I will always be so respectful of everything that is expected/ not expected.

“This was our first time using Rover, and therefore our first time having Jon walk our dog. We asked Jon to come by each day at 7, as it gets pretty hot here in the desert quite early in the morning. Sammi is used to hour long walks as well. We can say Jon did not disappoint! He was at our house every morning at 7 on the nose and gave our Sammi a full hour walk each day. They walked a mile plus on each journey and Sammi looked forward to seeing him every day. Could not have asked for a better experience!”
“I can’t say enough good things about Briana. I work 12 hour shifts and was super stressed trying to figure out how and when I was going to sneak away each day to walk my dog Brody. I was lucky enough to find Briana on Rover - and she’s been an absolute godsend. She is always prompt, takes great care of him and sends me super detailed notes every day to tell me about their walks - even includes pictures! Makes me smile every time I see them. It’s such a relief knowing he is in good hands while I’m at work. Plus, the difference I’ve seen in my dog is huge. He’s much happier and hasn’t chewed up anything in the house since Briana has started coming over and taking him on daily mini-adventures. 5 stars all day!”
About: Extensive experience providing attentive, one-on-one dog walking with a focus on safety, structure, and personalized care. Every walk is tailored to your dog’s needs. My schedule is open Monday through Friday. On weekends, I work as an Activities Assistant at a care home, which reflects my strong background in responsibility, patience, and compassionate care. I care for pets by following their normal routine as closely as possible. This includes regular walks, fresh water, playtime, and lots of positive attention. Safety is always my top priority, so I make sure pets are secure, comfortable, and supervised at all times. I take time to understand each pet’s personality, energy level, and any special needs to provide calm, consistent, and personalized care. I also keep owners updated and treat every pet with patience, respect, and the same care I would give my own.
“Gabe is amazing!! We have a Great Dane and she absolutely adores him! He comes every day, twice a day and he is always on time, so kind and friendly and the dog lets out a howl of joy every time he approaches the door. I’m so grateful that we connected and can’t imagine daily life without his care for our pup! Highly highly highly recommend his services !”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs & cats of all types and have been a dog lover for over 40 years. I’m incredibly active, so I love walking and taking them to dog parks. Two of my dogs had diabetes and special elder care needs, so I am able to handle many medical issues/needles. I also especially trained my Border Collie for theater shows and my little shitsu was Toto for live theater. Although, I am not a professional dog trainer, I love cultivating new skills in my dogs and I’m willing to try with yours. I have references and background check information. I run my own part time business, so I am flexible day and night, and can stay overnight as I currently do not have any animals or children of my own. Although I don’t have animals currently, I used to love walking them first thing in the morning, and beyond on that I can tailor excersize to their needs. For my dogs who were diabetic, I had to feed them at strict times twice per day. I am CPR and first aid certified.

“Viviana and her husband were the kindest and perfect dog watchers. Their home is very cute and you know from meeting them once that your dogs are in good hands. Good communication and ease throughout. 10/10 recommend.”

About: I did start taking care of pets when I was in junior high! I grew up with beagles; I think I’m a fourth generation beagle owner, and my dog Lear is truly a wonderful host . He adores everybody, and they all seem to love him, too. My backyard is essentially for the pups , several lounging areas for the perfect noon time sunbath. We also love the dog park. I’m a senior who spends majority of my time at home with my pups. Lots of attention and interaction , and backyard breaks . Pup heaven! I have a lovely fenced in backyard, and my own pups love sunning themselves all times of the day. I’m normally always home except for quick trips to the grocery store or an occasional lunch out ; otherwise I’m here , hands-on!

“Kevin, is an exceptional pet sitter, he provided top-notch care and thoughtfulness for our beloved furry companion. From the moment we met him, his warmth, humor and friendliness welcomed our dog to him right away. He displayed great affection and expertise in caring for our pet. Kevin's thoughtful daily updates and photos not only provided peace of mind but also filled us with joy and comfort. We returned from our trip to find our dog content and happy. I highly recommend Kevin's services and will definitely be entrusting our pup to his care again!”
“We can't say enough good things about Louise! She took Raymond into her home and right from the first meeting, we knew he was going to be in the best care. He can be a bit pushy with other dogs but she let him play with her Lacey and they both had such a good time. Louise sent daily updates and photos and we didn't worry about him at all knowing he was in a great place. We highly recommend Louise if you're looking for the best in pet care!”
“Todd was exceptional! I have a rescue that hasn’t been left alone since I got her 2.5 years ago. Todd agreed to meet even before committing to a longer stay and it was great. He is a dog lover! He made my Maggie feel so loved and communicated with me throughout her stay. When we picked her up after her 3 day stay she was happy and showed zero signs of any changes whatsoever. It was clear that she was well cared like we would! Will definitely use Todd again. Very kind ❤️”
