“What a great dog boarding experience. The host was so friendly, and made us and our dog feel right at home. He was well taken care of and we would definitely have him stay with the host again. Thank you!”
“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!!”
“Judith was absolutely wonderful with our Golden Retriever girl, Sage! She was very communicative throughout the entire stay, providing us with regular updates that kept our minds completely at ease. It is clear that she is incredibly caring and attentive, treating Sage like one of her own. We couldn't have asked for a better sitter and highly recommend Judith to anyone looking for top-notch care!”
“We recently left our 11 year old Goldendoodle (Bodhi),in the care of Alan & Joe,and it couldn’t have been better. From the minute we met them,we ALL felt comfortable,especially, Bodhi! Don’t hesitate if your thinking of utilizing Alan & Joe’s services…they’re really top notch!”
“Louise was very inviting and reassuring as I had some nerves about leaving my dogs with someone I didn't know for the first time. She sent updates throughout the day on how they were doing. I never felt I had to worry about them in her care. Absolutely recommend Louise. Thank you again!”
“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!”
“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.”
“Awesome with my older Great Dane! He loves going here. Megan is so sweet to try and comfort him when he gets anxious being away from mom & dad. We’ve used her a few times already and have another trip planned next month. We feel Cooper’s in excellent hands with Megan!”
“Luz sent me pictures of my senior dog sleeping, walking on a brick path, smelling grass, and roaming in a wooded area. I could tell that Cici was happy and that she was in good hands boarding at Luz's property! I appreciated that I didn't have to worry about her.”
“Matt took great care of our dog Mason. He’s a great communicator, sent regular updates and photos, answered every question and took care of dietary needs. Mason came home happy and relaxed. Thank you Matt! Will definitely book again”

“James was reliable and communicated effectively when he had questions, which was appreciated. Our cats seemed well cared for upon return and the house was clean and tidy. Would recommend James and request him again!”
“Samantha was fantastic! She arrived on time and took great care of my cat, who absolutely loved her and played with her the entire visit. She made sure my cat was fed, kept everything tidy, and locked up before leaving. I felt completely comfortable knowing both my home and my cat were in good hands. I’d definitely book with her again!”

“Once again, an absolutely fabulous job with my fur Kitty. I feel so thankful to have found someone that I feel comfortable with my kitty and also comfortable with my home and that I can continually rely on. Thanks so much.”
About: I have owned and taken care of a cat since I was roughly 12 years old. I have had multiple different breeds and currently have an orange male.

I am a stay at home mom whose children recently started going to school full time so I find myself with extra time and love on my hands. I promise to take care of your baby as well as my own.

“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.”

“Tony was prompt, communicative and took great care of Pickles. It’s clear he cared for her like she was her own, playing with her, snuggling and taking her on two walks to make sure she was taken care of after dinner.”
“Mia was great! She took fabulous care of my animals and came consistently at the times requested. She was very kind and flexible with everything we needed. I will definitely be reaching out again if I need a pet sitter again!”

About: I'm a seasoned dog sitter and pet parent with 15 years’ experience. I enjoy any time spent with a great dog, including walks, playing at a dog park, hitting up a doggy happy hour (my dog’s favorite activity), or cuddling at home on the couch. I was previously in Asbury Park, NJ, for 5 years hosting dogs in my own home, but I’m currently in your area, eager to make shaggy new friends. I provide lots of love and kindness while sitting, walking and playing with your pets. As a Rover veteran, I have many five-star reviews and photos on my profile, and I’m happy to answer any questions you may have. My schedule is very flexible as a full-time nomad. Reach out if you’re looking for a responsible, reliable caretaker. I’m happy to spend quality time with your pet. I do what I’m hired to do - plus I provide little extra love, pets and cuddles. We can all use a little bit more of that, yeah?
“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! Thank you so much Cesar you are a true blessing to us and our animals! Until next time! 💕”

“Elaine was lovely to communicate with and took amazing care of my ragdoll cat! I got photos everyday with a clever caption that made me smile and giggle. Upon returning home, our house was in the exact same condition we left it in and Lulu seemed very happy.

I have a fenced backyard with room for them to wander and play, with other dogs if they’d like. They can either sleep inside. Lots of dog toys on the property for them to play with!

“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.”
“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!”
“Mark looked after our dog, Penny, twice a week for daycare over several weeks and also cared for her overnight. As a new rescue, Penny can be quite anxious, particularly when getting used to new people and environments, but Mark has such a calm, gentle manner that she quickly felt comfortable with him. Before long, Penny absolutely loved going to his house. She would wag her tail and run straight to his door. We genuinely feel that Mark played a significant role in helping her gain confidence and continue progressing and feeling secure. Mark was always reliable, caring, and professional, and we knew Penny was in safe hands with him. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate dog sitter.”
“Megan was a lifesaver for our weekend getaway! We were staying at a pet friendly resort but wanted a day where we didn’t have to worry about leaving Dot alone for too long, or bringing her out with us during the hottest time of the year. Even though it was just a single daycare session, Megan provided regular updates and kept our girl happy with plenty of playtime, potty and water breaks. Dot made friends with Megan’s dogs and another Rover stay, she came back to us happy and tired. Would definitely choose Megan again for future trips to the desert!”
“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!”
“My dogs Finn (6mo) and Charley (2.5yo) had an extra-special day with Mike and his friendly dog pack. We needed a lot of flexibility to recover from a long few days of packing and travel, and Mike really went above and beyond to help. He made sure the dogs felt at ease and went out of his way to show me the safe, clean and cozy places they would spend the day. I would definitely recommend 100% and am happy to have Mike available as a resource when I need a helping hand. ???”
“We are happy to find Geraldine. She has a dog friendly home with secure outdoor space. Bliss was worn out by lots of running and playing with little Reese. We will be back!”
“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 😊”
About: I’ve have taken care of dogs ever since I was a teenager. I love taking care of dogs they bring me such a joy. I know that each dog has their own personality and I love seeing them shine in there own ways. I have taken care of dogs as young as 6 months old to dogs that are 9 years old. I know that senior dogs definitely need more attention when it comes to potty breaks. I also have changed dog diapers. I also grown up with large dog breeds such as Pitbulls, Rottweilers and Huskies. I have also taken care of small dogs such as toy poodles, schnauzer and pekingese. I currently work as a property manager for an Airbnb that runs within my home. Which gives me the flexibility to watch pets. I understand that each pet has their own needs and I want to do what’s best for them. I’m very fortunate to have a fully fence, home, and a separate backyard for my pets and yours. My dogs have their own space and your pet will be staying with me so I can watch them.
“Todd was an awesome sitter - Franklin enjoyed her time with his puppy Shih tsu. Todd also shared some pictures and videos during the day that I thoroughly enjoyed. I’d definitely recommend him!”
“Emily and Nesha are excellent communicators. They're helpful, accommodating and they have a wonderful fresh and clean home and property. I'm very particular and protective of my dogs and I will definitely have Emily and Nesha care for them again. Their home and yard are spotlessly clean, so I didn't feel I had to give my dogs a bath as soon as I got them home. This was a much better experience than I've had with other sitters.”
About: I grew up in a home that adopted cats & dogs and was the prime caregiver since animal's lives and happiness are close my heart. I believe in SPOILING them, not giving them all of the treats, but in giving them tons of attention and activity. Zonking them out at night so they have the best night's sleep. I love all dogs, tiny to giants and long-haired too. I laugh at zoomies. My animal voice disarms them quickly so even the most nervous cats or dogs warm up to me in time. I respect boundaries and listen/watch body language so that neither of us are uncomfortable. I love to go on walks with them, letting them smell every flower along the way. I love playing tug of war or chasing each other or throwing a ball for hours. They are such special little beings and deserve the best care. With me, they would be loved on, scratched, belly rubbed, or brushed to their delight! I work from home and set my schedule. So, I would be available to watch your furbabies during the times that you need, overnights, or just daily drop-bys. All I need is wifi and if it's the summer, AC. I am happy to bring any cat-friendly dogs into my home. Both of my cats LOVE dogs. But your furbabies would have to have up-to-date vaccinations to do so. I'm happy to have them here. If they like walks, I go on one daily for about an hour. If I need to, I can split that walk in two, no worries. Spending time with them at a dog park. Throwing the ball or playing outside with their favorite toy is also something that I would enjoy doing. I am happy to find what each furbaby needs and to meet it. I love getting to know animals and their specific qualities/likes/dislikes and meeting their needs and having fun. The whole idea to me is that if their humans are out of town. having fun, they should have an equal amount of fun too!

“Kevin was amazing. Our Italian Greyhound, Enzo - is very particular who he is comfortable to be around. Kevin was an instant magnet. During Enzo's stay with Kevin, we received photos, videos and updates. The entire time, Enzo was happy, full of energy and wanted to play. At the end of Enzo's stay, he was exhausted (which is awesome). Kevin is a highly recommended for any pup care needs. We will definitely use him again. Thank you Kevin!!”

“FANTASTIC!!!! I was a first time user of not only Rover but pet sitting. I have a hyper, large almost 1yr old puppy who is very goofy but also has extreme separation anxiety so needless to say I was very nervous Frankie loved April sooooo much, didn’t even notice we left 😳🤣 and when we got home was being loved on the sofa and didn’t even jump off to greet us and that says all there is to say 💕”

Space is limited so that your dog receives personal attention. Any special feeding habits, veterinarian contacts and vaccinations are requested.

My environment is very safe and secure and over 15 years have never had a pet escape. I can always crate your dog if needed.
“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!”
“Kevin is unbelievably kind and wonderful -such a nice man and just helpful beyond belief. My dog is definitely having an adjustment period and does not want to leave her mama. He has been incredibly patient with her trying everything he can to get her to trust him and actually leave the house with him. We’ll get there and it’s all because of his patience and flexibility -again his senior dog expertise is beyond compare.”
About: Hello, my name is Cynthia. I’m a big animal lover and hope I can give your furbaby the attention they need! I’ve cared for animals nearly all my life and can’t wait to help you. I can provide frequent potty breaks, and tend to senior and or disabled pets as well. I work from home Monday through Friday and for the most part stay home on the weekends as well. I take my dogs for 2 or more walks per day, for about a mile each time for them to get some fresh air through out the day. I have two fur babies of my own who are very sociable and friendly. If your puppy needs to be crated I can definitely accommodate that, as well as provide stimulating exercises for them with lick mats, treat puzzles, and basic obedience.
“Faith has been consistent and reliable for Ollies early morning walks. She is professional, courteous and always on time. And of course, Ollie is always super excited to see her.”
“Christopher helped us out during our wedding day at The Ace hotel and went above and beyond! He walked and entertained our dog, Reggie, for over an hour while we got dressed for the wedding. As a rescue, Reggie can be a bit anxious around new people, but Chris was patient and calm. He came for a meet and greet before the day and got to know us and Reggie. On the day, he was prompt, communicative, and flexible. I was running late and Chris waited patiently for me to come grab Reggie. Reggie had such a great time with Christopher and we will definitely be booking again if we need a walker/sitter in Palm Springs.”

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.
About: I have cared for large, medium, and small dogs for 15 years. I also have cat care experience. I studied animal science at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo, so I can also care for livestock and various species of animals more than cats and dogs as well. I have a BS degree in Animal Science and Agricultural Science, a master's in Agriculture and currently working on my doctoral degree. Currently, Fall 2026, for my day job I am a high school teacher who teaches classes in veterinarian sciences, livestock management, plant science and horticulture, floral design, and landscape design. I am enrolled in a doctoral program and beginning my dissertation work. I would like to help care for pets to help relieve stress and offer help to fellow pet owners. I care for pets across the Coachella Valley. I have a fenced backyard. One friendly dogs to keep your furry friend company. I can crate. Can crate and walk as well as play every 2 hours. Reach out if you have specific requests.
About: I’ve worked with all types of pets, small and big, I 'm compassionate about animals and the unconditional love they bring to our lives. Whether it was a shi tzu to a german shepard to a lab, to a horse, I'm a true animal lover. Additionally, I took care of a friend until the end, he got Long-Term Covid in 2019 and died in Feb 2024. I also helped in my mother's care who had muscular dystrophy and my father, who had dementia. I'm a semi-retired entertainment publicist who spent the last 18 years in Los Angeles. After being a part-time resident in PALM SPRINGS since 2008, I'm now a full-time resident that truly loves the desert and no remorse from leaving LA. When I do work, I work from my home office so I'm always around. Also, if you are looking for an extended stays, please reach out to me for discount on mid-long term stays. Mainly by preference, I have my own personal preferences but whatever the Pet Parents want something specific, like no pets on the furniture or bed. Preference for using their own dog bed. I'm here to provide a service tailored to their needs.
About: I’ve been a pet owner since a very young age. Growing up and falling in love with pets, I’ve continued to own and care for my own animals and I will make sure yours are loved and taken care of too! 🐾 I work for myself, so I can do this no problem. It works for me and I know it’ll work for you and your pets. I have a fenced yard and can gladly come to your house if I need to.

About: I’ve been caring for pets for over 12 years and genuinely love what I do. I’m dependable, patient, and attentive with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and ages—from energetic puppies to senior pets who need extra care. I have experience with feeding, walking, bathing, administering medication, and reinforcing basic training. I treat every pet like they’re my own, making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I understand how important routines are and always follow your instructions carefully to keep your pet happy and stress-free. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your furry family member is in caring, reliable hands. 🐾 I currently specialize in boarding pets in my home and prefer this over house sitting. Boarding allows me to provide consistent, attentive care in a safe, comfortable environment where I can closely monitor your pet throughout the day. I’m flexible with drop-off and pick-up times and am available most weekdays and weekends. My goal is to give your pet a fun, stress-free stay while giving you peace of mind. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my highest priorities. I provide a clean, safe, and supervised home where your pet will receive plenty of attention, exercise, and affection. I carefully follow your feeding schedule, medication instructions, and any special care requests to keep your pet’s routine as consistent as possible. I’ll also send regular photo and video updates so you can relax knowing your pet is in loving, dependable hands. I treat every pet like a member of my own family. 🐾

I'm so thrilled with the love she provided him during his stay and I felt at ease knowing he was in great hands! I highly recommend Alexis! We will be bringing Conrad back next time we are in the palms springs area!”
About: Dogs have always found their way to me. I've been around them most of my life, and there's something about calm, consistent energy that they seem to respond to. A friend would tell you I'm the person dogs gravitate toward at a party, and I'd say that's probably the most honest qualification I can offer. My most meaningful experience came with my own rescue, a shepherd mix I adopted at 7 months, trained from scratch, and cared for through 15 years of life, including her final year as a senior dog with mobility needs. I became practiced at daily medication administration, wound care, and the kind of patient, attentive routine that older dogs need. Senior dogs are a specialty I genuinely enjoy and take seriously. I work from home full-time, which means your dog won't spend the day alone. I'm here, present, and engaged — great for dogs with separation anxiety or those who simply do better with a steady human nearby. I take one dog (or one bonded pair) at a time, so your pet gets real individual attention. My home in Palm Springs is clean, quiet, and comfortable with direct access to a large greenway for on-leash walks right from my back patio. I know the desert schedule well, so in warmer months walks happen early morning or evening when it's safe and comfortable. I have a car and am happy to help with pickup or dropoff when needed. I'm comfortable with oral medications, mobility assistance, and dogs with special routines. My home is single-level — no stairs. I prefer dogs to sleep on their own bed or the floor (I'll have a comfortable spot ready), and I take one guest at a time to keep things calm and personal. Meet-and-greets are always welcome before a booking.
“I felt very comfortable leaving my pit bull with Tony. She is a senior dog, so I appreciated the updates on how she was eating and pooping. Tony sent lots of pictures and communicated promptly. Cici had a nice relaxed time and I could tell that Tony was very caring.”
“Carl was the best Rover!!!!! Our dog Phoebe instantly bonded with him and his pups. Very clean house. Beautiful back yard for playing. He took great care of Phoebe and she adjusted great, which isn’t always the case. He send daily updates and even let Phoebe snuggle with him while sleeping, which she is used to at home. So nice she was welcomed as part of the family! We will definitely be using Carl in the future! 5/5 stars!”
“We are so happy that we found Corrine! After visiting with her at our meet and greet, we felt very confident she would be an excellent caregiver for our dog. We left Ollie there for 5 nights and Corrine was good at communicating with pics and updates during his stay. When we picked him up, he was calm and relaxed. Thanks Corrine, see you next time.”
