“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!!”
“This was Whiskey’s second stay with Alan and Joe, and he absolutely loved it! Alan and Joe do an amazing job of making you feel at ease and completely comfortable leaving your fur baby in their care. We will definitely have Whiskey stay with them again. He loves them, and we couldn’t be happier with the care they provide!”
“Beau was super excited to stay with Tony over the weekend. Tony provided a few photos of the stay which was greatly appreciated, and took Beau out to a local doggie-restaurant which I sure was one of the highlights! Thanks!”
“We had a great experience boarding our dog with Dennis. He provided daily feedback and pictures and responded quickly to questions and inquiries. He was flexible and helped us out with a situation last minute. He was attentive to our dogs needs and took great care of him. Would recommend!!”
“Judith was amazing. She was very good at communicating and sent me lots of pictures of my dog (even though my dog is camera shy). She was really flexible and worked with me when my schedule changed a bit. I will be picking to send Vexy to her house next time we need a Rover.”
“Michael was so incredibly kind and made the drop off and pick up very easy! He was on top of sending pictures and updates of how my pup was doing, which I absolutely loved receiving while I was on my trip!! Makes your mind rest at ease knowing our fur babies are well taken care of, will book again with him!”
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 had a very good experience with Osamu while my dog Leo was under his care. Osamu is very kind and loving and Leo felt right at home his place. Leo was treated just the same as if he were in his own home. Osamu kept me updated through out Leos stay with photos and texts and Leo seemed happy and content when I picked him up I highly recommend Osamu and plan to take Leo again whenever I need a pet sitter!”
“Samantha was so lovely and responsive, with much dog expertise! She made sure Oswald felt right at home and I would highly recommend her for anyone needing to board their dog! Thanks Samantha!”
“Very pleased with Nuvea. Did a great job communicating, including updates and photosduring the boarding. Explained how she would transition my dog into her home with her drugs and cat. Would definitely rebook.”
“Andranise is great. She asked really good questions about Murray, so she could understand and meet his needs. She contacted us regularly with photos and notes about Murray. She included him wonderfully into her Thanksgiving celebration. Whenever we have to travel without Murray, he will definitely stay with Andranise!”
“Our 2 year old Basset, Odie, had the time of his life. He and Todd and his 2 Shih Tzu bonded instantly. Video updates showed how much Odie was enjoying his stay. Thank you Todd. Absolutely the best!”
“Our boy has had such great TLC on this trip, and we cannot thank Rose enough for all the pics, updates, and snuggles she provided! We are also thankful to Rose for being so accommodating when our plans changed a bit.”
“If you find yourself in need of a dog sitter in Palm Springs, then Vincent (Antonio) is your guy! He was so sweet to our pooch. We could not have found a better person to watch Beau. He even has a nice backyard space for the dogs to roam around. We would definitely use him again if we are in Palm Springs. His house is also very close to downtown which worked perfectly for us.”
“Most excellent. Cubsy enjoyed his stay with Matt and Steve. Cubsy is a very social boy and loved having 2 or 3 other dogs to play with while we were gone. He came home tired. A very good sign. Matt provided updates. I also like that they put a tracker on Cubsy during his stay in the unlikely event he got loose. Both Matt and Steve are at home most days so no lack of companionship or supervision.”
“Phenomenal! From my first communication with Mike, I knew that I had selected the right sitter for Roy. He stayed in touch through the entire process, learning about my dog and explaining his way of caring for my dog. He paid attention to the details and took notes. During Roy’s entire stay he kept me informed about Roy’s comfort and care. He shared photos & video’s throughout each day. Roy received ton’s of personal attention and play time. This was my first experience using Rover and leaving Roy with someone I did not know. Mike made this a fantastic experience. Roy came home safe, healthy and very happy. I will return to Mike again without any hesitation.”
“Jackson and his family were great at taking care of my pup last minute. So thankful to have found him. Shelby was very happy and calm while I was out which is not always the case for her. But great care and communication for the short stay with them. Thank you!!!”

“Katherine was great. She filled a last minute need for us over the holiday weekend. She asked a lot of questions - which was great - to make sure we were on the same page. I would definitely hire her again.”
“Rich is amazing! This is second time he helped with our two Burmeses cats. Rich feed them medications and food twice a day on time. Rich was attentive, easy going and responsive. We definitely ask him to help out again.”

“Briana was amazing with our 3 kitties! She was very quick in communicating with us. Her reports were always very detailed and the pictures were just what we needed.

“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.”

“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! 💕”

“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.”
“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.”
“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!”
“Just the kindest and supportive dog caregiver. My dogs loved her care and were happily jumping up to get into her car. Louise picked them up and dropped them off. I was so grateful for her service as I had to attend a board weekend retreat. Book her and your dogs will be grateful and well taken care of by Louise.”
“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).”
About: I love small dogs they have the biggest hearts!

“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!”
“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!”
“Jon was incredibly accommodating on a short notice request by us. We came to vacation in Palm Springs and were unaware we could not leave our dog in the hotel room unattended. I immediately messaged Jon and he quickly responded. He was flexible on drop off and pick up as well. I’m so thankful for him! He made our trip less stressful by taking care of our Togo for two days. Highly highly recommend!”

About: GROWING UP, MY MOM ONLY ALLOWED US TO HAVE CATS AS PETS. WHEN I WAS 20-YEARS OLD, I ADOPTED MY FIRST PUPPY FROM THE LONG ISLAND, NEW YORK ANIMAL SHELTER. HE WAS AN AKITA/GERMAN SHEPPARD MIX & WE HAD HIM FOR 17-YEARS UNTIL WE HAD TO PUT HIM TO SLEEP 😞. I ADOPTED 4 OTHER PUPPIES AFTER THAT. I EMJOY THE COMPANY OF PETS MORE THEN I ENJOY THE COMPANY OF PEOPLE LOL 😂. PETS ARE MORE LOYAL. I KNOW THAT WE ALL TREAT OUR PETS LIKE OUR CHILDREN, SO WE SHOULD SPARE NO EXPENSE WHEN IT COMES TO PET SITTING/BOARDING. I AM CURRENTLY UNEMPLOYED, SO MY SCHEDULE IS COMPLETELY OPEN. ALSO, MY PROFESSION IS WORKING AS EXECUTIVE ASSISTANT, SO I GET TO WORK REMOTELY. I CAN PROVIDE THE BEST CARE & ATTENTION ACCORDING TO MY SCHEDULE. OUR PROPERTY HAS AN EAST & WEST LAWN AREA THAT IS FENCED IN & SAFE. WE HAVE 3 VERY FRIENDLY & LOVABLE DOGS (6-YEAR OLD WHITE GERMAN SHEPPARD, 13-YEAR OLD COTTON DETULIA & 6-MONTH OLD BOXER). SAFETY & TRUST IS ALWAYS THE MOST IMPORTANT ASPECT OF PET SITTING/BOARDING. MAKING SURE THAT BOTH HUMAN & PET ARE HAPPY & GET ALONG.
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!
About: Bringing peace of mind since 2013, I go out of my way to honor your pet whether he/she is hungry, wants to go for a walk or just needs a belly rub. It’s so important to provide an outstanding level of comfort and attention. Our pets are our greatest assets. Caring for them and their needs are my priority. And most importantly, I want them to have fun and feel at home. I work part- time and am able to visit your home to walk, feed, talk to your fur baby. Happy to discuss specific needs and schedules. I’m great with specific needs. I provide a high level of comfort and care. Pets love familiarity so I prefer to sit pets in their known environment, however, my home is their home.
“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!”

About: I have experience caring for both dogs and cats. I dog-sat a Goldendoodle for two weeks, providing daily walks, feeding, playtime, and companionship. Additionally, I cat-sat three cats in Costa Rica, ensuring they were well-fed, comfortable, and received plenty of attention. These experiences have helped me develop a strong sense of responsibility and a calm, caring approach to pet care. I have open availability for pet sitting and related responsibilities, with the exception of one college class. My schedule is flexible, and I'm able to accommodate most timeframes, including mornings, evenings, and weekends. I prioritize each pet’s safety and well-being at all times. I follow all instructions closely, keep a close eye on pets during walks, and make sure doors, gates, and any hazardous areas are properly secured. My goal is to provide a calm, safe, and attentive experience for every pet in my care.
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 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: Hey I’m Nat! I have 2 pups of my own, a poodle mix and a Dalmatian/Great Dane :) I’ve also taken care of my friends and families pets including puppies, a kitten and some aquatic turtles and fish while they traveled!! Im self employed so i work on my own schedule from home!! Gives me lots of free time to take your pups on walks and/or care for them in my home. I have a fenced yard and both my pups are socialized/ crate trained as well as having different parts of my home closed off so I’d be able to keep your pup safe depending on their needs whether they do best without other pups or are social and wanna play.
“where to begin with faith. first of all, our dogs latched on to her the moment she over—they rarely do that but they did! great sign when they prefer her over us. anyhow, very communicative, very personable, and always on-time. i needed one day for her services but after day 1, i decided to book her two more times—she’s that good with the dogs. highly recommend and i found myself a caretaker for our beasties during our stays here in the desert. thank you faith! such a gem to have found you here. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

About: I have been a proud animal owner my entire life, I grew up with dogs, then had guinea pigs, and currently own four cats! I had to administer injections to one of my cats last year and have also given oral capsules, oral steroids, and eye drops. I work as a paramedic full time over night, so typically I am free during the day time for drop in visits and dog walking! My cats at home have every safety precaution in the book, considering cats are quite notorious for getting into everything (and trust me, mine are a huge fan of trying that) My cats are my life and I know many fellow pet owners feel the same, so safety is always a top priority for me!
“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!”
About: GROWING UP, MY MOM ONLY ALLOWED US TO HAVE CATS AS PETS. WHEN I WAS 20-YEARS OLD, I ADOPTED MY FIRST PUPPY FROM THE LONG ISLAND, NEW YORK ANIMAL SHELTER. HE WAS AN AKITA/GERMAN SHEPPARD MIX & WE HAD HIM FOR 17-YEARS UNTIL WE HAD TO PUT HIM TO SLEEP 😞. I ADOPTED 4 OTHER PUPPIES AFTER THAT. I EMJOY THE COMPANY OF PETS MORE THEN I ENJOY THE COMPANY OF PEOPLE LOL 😂. PETS ARE MORE LOYAL. I KNOW THAT WE ALL TREAT OUR PETS LIKE OUR CHILDREN, SO WE SHOULD SPARE NO EXPENSE WHEN IT COMES TO PET SITTING/BOARDING. I AM CURRENTLY UNEMPLOYED, SO MY SCHEDULE IS COMPLETELY OPEN. ALSO, MY PROFESSION IS WORKING AS EXECUTIVE ASSISTANT, SO I GET TO WORK REMOTELY. I CAN PROVIDE THE BEST CARE & ATTENTION ACCORDING TO MY SCHEDULE. OUR PROPERTY HAS AN EAST & WEST LAWN AREA THAT IS FENCED IN & SAFE. WE HAVE 3 VERY FRIENDLY & LOVABLE DOGS (6-YEAR OLD WHITE GERMAN SHEPPARD, 13-YEAR OLD COTTON DETULIA & 6-MONTH OLD BOXER). SAFETY & TRUST IS ALWAYS THE MOST IMPORTANT ASPECT OF PET SITTING/BOARDING. MAKING SURE THAT BOTH HUMAN & PET ARE HAPPY & GET ALONG.
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 take only SEVERAL PETS at any given time so that they can receive my FULL PERSONAL ATTENTION. I WORK FROM HOME SO AM ALWAYS AVAILABLE. If this is the type of attention you feel your special pets deserve, call me. Leaving the area for a vacation or visiting beautiful Palm Springs, why not let your favorite pet enjoy a little rest and relaxation in the desert? Your loving friend will receive VIP care and attention 24/7 in my beautifully landscaped yard enclosed by an 8 foot brick wall. They will have access to two separate yards through two doggy doors. Space is limited so that your dog receives personal attention. Any special feeding habits, veterinarian contacts and vaccinations are requested. I look forward to talking and meeting with both you and your pets. If possible, a "Meet and Greet would be recommended to acclimate your pets to my environment, helping them to better adjust to something new in their schedule. I work at home so have plenty of time and attention to play with your fur babies, I am available for boarding seven days a week. I have a high brick walled yard. 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.

“This was Whiskey’s second stay with Alan and Joe, and he absolutely loved it!

He loves them, and we couldn’t be happier with the care they provide!”

“Samantha was so lovely and responsive, with much dog expertise! She made sure Oswald felt right at home and I would highly recommend her for anyone needing to board their dog! Thanks Samantha!”
“Our 2 year old Basset, Odie, had the time of his life. He and Todd and his 2 Shih Tzu bonded instantly. Video updates showed how much Odie was enjoying his stay. Thank you Todd. Absolutely the best!”
“Our boy has had such great TLC on this trip, and we cannot thank Rose enough for all the pics, updates, and snuggles she provided! We are also thankful to Rose for being so accommodating when our plans changed a bit.”
“If you find yourself in need of a dog sitter in Palm Springs, then Vincent (Antonio) is your guy! He was so sweet to our pooch. We could not have found a better person to watch Beau. He even has a nice backyard space for the dogs to roam around. We would definitely use him again if we are in Palm Springs. His house is also very close to downtown which worked perfectly for us.”
“Phenomenal! From my first communication with Mike, I knew that I had selected the right sitter for Roy. He stayed in touch through the entire process, learning about my dog and explaining his way of caring for my dog. He paid attention to the details and took notes. During Roy’s entire stay he kept me informed about Roy’s comfort and care. He shared photos & video’s throughout each day. Roy received ton’s of personal attention and play time. This was my first experience using Rover and leaving Roy with someone I did not know. Mike made this a fantastic experience. Roy came home safe, healthy and very happy. I will return to Mike again without any hesitation.”
“Jackson and his family were great at taking care of my pup last minute. So thankful to have found him. Shelby was very happy and calm while I was out which is not always the case for her. But great care and communication for the short stay with them. Thank you!!!”
“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.”
“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!”
“I couldn't be happier with Larry's care of the kids and neither could the kids. My elderly Westie came home very perky after his stay. The lab had a new friend to play with and our little girl was treated like the princess she thinks she is. I highly recommend Larry to sit your furry friends.”
“THE BEST! When simba and I originally met Brandon and William we knew we had found our dogs best companions! They were so gracious to invite us in and show us the space Simba would be staying in. On Simba's visit we were always provided updates and photos. Brandon and William are so kind and loving, your pet will go to the best home. Truly so appreciative for their care! Thank you!”
“Our dogs had a great time with Jon. They had a lot of space to run around and Jon was very communicative during the stay. Would definitely recommend and would send them here again.”
