“Jackson took excellent care of our little dog for overnight boarding. He was available on short notice on a holiday weekend, and always responded quickly to my questions and inquiries. He has a great home and our dog looked comfortable and well cared for. He sent photo updates as well. All of this put our minds at ease. I later learned that Jackson also does grooming. I highly recommend Jackson and will be utilizing his services again when we are in the area and also I will refer him to my family and friends.”

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.

We will definitely use her again in the future!”

About: I have taken care of my family members’ and friends’ dogs. I take them out for walks and follow their schedule, if they have one. I am a part time student and can look after and or check in with your pets whenever needed depending on my own personal schedule. I provide a safe, comfortable environment for pets in my home. My backyard is fully fenced, and I have a friendly dog who is well-socialized with other animals. I always supervise interactions and closely monitor pets for any unusual behaviors or signs of stress.

About: I have been watching over pups of all ages from a few weeks old to senior pup ages giving them all the cuddles, exercise, and snacking of fruits and vegetables to keep them on their toes. There's always time to relax and rest when I close up the curtains and change the lights to a nice dog cartoon or video for them to fall asleep to or cool down from the sun. I have been a foster parent for pups with my husband for about 2 years and never looked back, we have fostered over 12 pups of all ages to families all over the valley and continue to do so until we move to Oregon. I make home made food and treats depending on what I have available at the moment and provide them with different varieties of snacks that are healthy for them. I give them my attention and my fur babies get to play and socialize with everyone welcoming everyone and sharing all their toys🥰 I am currently staying home while my husband works and I do insta cart shopping depending on the day. And looking into getting my masters online so I have plenty of time to give them the attention they need. I have crates and gates depending on the pups needs. I have my home set up to section off pups if they need time to relax or go and play with others without bothering anyone else.
“I’m so happy to have tried Rover for the first time and Diane was wonderful! It was so nice to enjoy a full day out with friends and to not worry about Griffon. When we come back for a visit to La Quinta, I will definitely reach out to Diane again. Thank you so much!”

About: I have had my own dogs since I was a new born. The first were big dogs. A golden retriever and a brittney spaniel. As of currently my family consists of 3 little doggies and a hognose snake. Rags is my wired haired Doxie, Archie is my Chihuahua terrier mix, and Tessa is relatively unknown but we think she’s a corgi mixed with a chihuahua. My hognose is named morty. I rescued that love bug from his very forgetful (previous) owner. I’m working part time and I also door dash, Uber, instacart. I strive for my ability to be independent. I usually work my butt off for three days and stay home with the animals for the rest of the week. I figure spending more time with my animals I’d be happier. I am happier. Animals are like a zen zone for me. They’re easier to talk to and be playful self with. I keep my dogs food and water replenished. For my neighbors dogs that I occasionally watch from time and time again dude to her surgeries, I make sure they go out every 3 hours and I don’t feed them till 8am and 6 pm every day.

About: I have always offered to take care of my family and friend's babies for free because I am an animal lover to my core! When I found out I can do what I love as a job, I knew I had to throw my name out here! I hope me and your fur baby can connect! Bring me all the animals!!! <3 I have a flexible schedule and I am looking to add on a side hustle doing what I love the most, spending time with animals! Don't say anything, but I usually prefer paws over people! I would be comfortable keeping your little (or big) one in my home or in their environment so as to keep them at ease! You know your baby better than anyone so I am able to work with you and your furry friend!

About: Hello my name is Jenny, I've taken care of a few dogs through my high school years and cats. My family friends have relied on me to take care of their pets and their home. I have four dogs of my own who I love very much. I have experience with senior dogs who need more assistance than others. My dog walks with three legs, she is blind from one eye, and she cannot hear very well so she needs a lot of my attention especially because she is an older dog. I am able to bathe them, trim their nails (if they have clear nails), and I am very patient with puppies as well. I have a few loyal customers and they usually let me know ahead of time when they need me to pet sit so me schedule is mostly flexible. I am a college student and I have other priorities, but pet sitting will be my source of income so my schedule will be flexible through my daily and weekly routine. I have four dogs of my own, two male and two female dogs. Two of my dogs are very play full, they can get frustrate around other dogs because they are not used to new dogs around the house, but I could easily crate your pet. I do have access to a doggy door, so they come in and out as they please. I do not have a feeding schedule for my dogs because they have their bowl full throughout the day and night. My dogs are well behaved, but my two male dogs are not operated and most of my clients don't want their female dogs close to them which is understandable. One of my female dogs is old and can barely walk so she isn't around hypered dogs because I am afraid she will get hurt and she has been hurt in the past by pets I have cared for. Depending how your pet is around with other dogs it will be very rear for me to pet sit at my home.
About: Hi there!

Just like my pets, I can garuntee that you’re pet will be treated with the same love and compassion you give them when you’re home. I grew up around dogs, and currently have one cat, Selma. before my cat, We had an adopted dog (Shiba Inu) named Niko. I have experience working with dogs who are food-aggressive, excitable dogs, anxious dogs, and dogs who are just plain happy to be there.

About: I have always had pets since I can remember from cats to dogs, bunnies, chickens, so I grew up caring for many animals. I would also pet sit for family members and friends. I currently have a dog and a bunny! I love exercise and nature, so I’m constantly outside playing sports or walking/running and hiking. I love to look for new spots for hikes or short walks and parks. I also have a part time job of only 12 hours a week so I have a lot of free time on my hands! I currently have a bunny who has her own little pen. My apartment in a gated community and near a park! I am very organized and can follow any specific routines needed for pets of any needs.

“Jackson took excellent care of our little dog for overnight boarding. He was available on short notice on a holiday weekend, and always responded quickly to my questions and inquiries. He has a great home and our dog looked comfortable and well cared for. He sent photo updates as well. All of this put our minds at ease. I later learned that Jackson also does grooming. I highly recommend Jackson and will be utilizing his services again when we are in the area and also I will refer him to my family and friends.”
“Brandon and Billy took fantastic care of Spencer while we were away. They kept us updated throughout his stay with photos. They went above and beyond to make him feel right at home. While we hate to have to leave him while we travel, we are so grateful to know what good and caring people Brandon and Billy are to our pup.”
“Elizabeth was wonderful with our dog. We were out of town for 13 days and it’s the longest we’ve ever been away. She was so sweet and gave some extra TLC to our dog who was exhibiting separation anxiety. She gave us daily updates and our dog was very well cared for. We will definitely use her again in the future!”
“I'm not used to leaving my dog with other people. I have a wonderful German Shepherd, but he's moma's boy. I think his day was as good as it could be. He had wonderful friends to play with and made some good buddies, which are her dogs so anytime he goes back those good buddies will be there. I think she did a great job I'm really pleased and yes, we'll go again! Trish and Keko”
About: With a lifetime of hands-on experience caring for animals, I bring both knowledge and genuine compassion to every pet I look after. I’ve raised a wide variety of animals over the years, and from a young age I’ve always had a heart for helping—often taking in and caring for strays in need. Today, I continue that passion on my small ranch, where I care for animals daily and understand their unique needs, behaviors, and personalities. My experience includes feeding routines, basic health awareness, administering simple care, and creating a safe, calm environment for animals of all kinds. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, or needs a little extra attention, I’m patient and attentive to what makes them feel secure and happy. I also offer faith-based care, treating every animal with kindness, respect, and a sense of purpose. I believe in providing a peaceful, loving environment where your pet will feel at home and well cared for while you’re away. As a stay-at-home mom, I’m home throughout the day and able to give animals consistent care and attention. I check on them in the morning, midday, and evening to make sure they’re fed, comfortable, and getting the care they need. My daily routine allows me to provide a steady, safe, and attentive environment for every pet. I provide safe, reliable care by respecting each pet’s unique needs. I follow owner instructions closely, maintain a secure environment, and make sure every fur baby feels comfortable and cared for. You can have peace of mind knowing your animal is in trustworthy, compassionate hands.

“Christine took very good care of my dog, Mika. She sent regular updates with photos, and was quick to respond to my check-ins as well. Overall, very positive experience. Thank you!”
“Caroline and Patrick were just fantastic with our Lucy girl!! During our meet & greet, I could tell right away Lucy felt comfortable around them which made our trip away so much more relaxing. They were great communicators with sending pictures and updates throughout her stay, took her on plenty of walks, played ball and had lots of cuddle time! What a relief to have found someone in the area that is so reliable. They will definitely be our first call next trip. 😊”
“Ruby was lovely! She sent really great pictures and videos of Archie. He was in great hands, they went on long walks together and he loved hanging out with his lab buddies. I would love to bring him back.”

“Jenessa did a great job with the care of my 2 senior dogs. One of them had to have medication and diaper changes because he is 18 yrs. Old and needed extra care. I would use her again. Thank you Rover, and Jenessa”
“Tanya was an excellent choice for our 2 pups. They boarded at her home for 11 nights. She sent awesome pictures frequently. They settled in quickly and were super calm when we picked them up. We highly recommend Tanya and will use her services again when we return to the area next year.”
