“Gloria is truly amazing as always. My dog loves her so much whenever she gets to stay with her. I have a standard poodle so her care routine involves some maintenance specific to her breed, Gloria always provides above and beyond care! We ran into some trouble getting home at our original planned time, and Gloria was generous/flexible with extending our boarding time. The updates she send are informative and adorable! I will always return to my favorite sitter whenever my pup needs some love and care!”

“I felt good about leaving Max with Erin. Her home is clean and free of potential hazards. There is plenty of space for my dog to roam in a fenced in environment and a cool place to potty in the back and sides of her home. She kept me thoroughly updated through out the day with pictures and messages. I would use her services again.”

“My dogs were so well taken care of! I received pictures daily as well as updates on how they were behaving and if Woody took his medicine. They can be a little shy but I could see in the pictures they were cuddling with Daniella and her husband every day. I will definitely be a repeat customer!”

“She took very good care of my senior dog Fiyero. She always update me and send me pictures of feeding times in the morning and afternoon and also during bedtime getting him ready to sleep. Highly recommended to take care of your fur babies.”

“Don was great with our dog Jack when we had to go out of town for a few nights! He sent photos to keep us updated and was very accommodating when traffic delays meant we were late for our arranged pick up time. Don clearly loves dogs and has a great approach with them. We'll be back in touch whenever we have to travel again.”

“Alan & Joe took wonderful care of Niels. They played his favorite ball game all day. He came home happy and tired. I'm glad I found them und will definitely bring Niels there again.”

“Brandon was wonderful with my dog during an overnight stay. He provided great communication and regular updates, which gave me peace of mind. It’s clear he’s both knowledgeable and kind—my dog was in excellent hands.”

“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!!”

“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.”

“Osamu is an extremely caring, thoughtful, dependable, and responsive sitter. We couldn’t have asked for better care when we left our dog with him and his husband in their lovely home for two weeks. He provided multiple photos daily along with newsy updates. If I could leave a six star review, I would!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“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.”

“Joan and her husband Phil are wonderful. They took amazing care of Parker. Joan sent daily updates throughout his stay. It was his first time away from home and he had a great time. Highly recommend Joan”

“Katie took wonderful care of my special needs dog in a short notice situation. She was very easy to communicate and was flexible with me on pick up and drop off. She sent me lots of pictures during my dog's stay and checked in with me often. I can't recommend her enough! Most people would not open their home to a medical special needs dog but Katie did without a second thought. Thanks again for the wonderful experience. So grateful to have found you”

“I have to say that Dijanna is the best! She took super good care of my dogs while I was away and sent me plenty of updates about them. I’m so very very grateful for her. I sincerely wish her a magnificent New Year of complete success in her every endeavor!!”

“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”

“Crystal always goes above and beyond. She played with our cats and made sure they were exceptionally cared for while I was out-of-state. She left the house better than when I left. Highly recommend!”


“Amazing care. I am so glad I found Edith. I felt at ease knowing my cat was in good hands. She sent photos every day of my cat looking happier with her than me lol. Best caretaker for pets ever. I highly recommend Edith.”


“Mikayla was extremely professional and flexible. I had an emergency appointment out of town, without firm dates. She was great at spending a lot of time with my cat who was having anxiety and sending photos! Thank you!”


About: I've been around cats a lot and truly enjoy them, currently having my own cat at home alongside experience rescuing and fostering an outdoor cat. I know how to respect a cat's space, keep their routines consistent, and give them the exact right mix of playtime and quiet comfort.

“Wow! Grace/Gresia is a very close family friend but she has never met my cat she was amazing you can tell her love and passion for pets, thistle my cat loved her, she was great with updating me during the small drop in !”


“Was great! Was consistent with timing and dogs were great when we got back! I had a mix up in communication and she went above and beyond to help fix it! Would absolutely book again with Tawny.”

“Amazing sitter. She is kind and amazing! She looked over our two cats (last minute) and we met her beforehand and my wife and I got a really good vibe from her. She is dependable and reliable. We highly recommend her (she also has many reviews so we arent only ones that think she is great!)”


“Such a relief finding Jessica! My husband and I recently moved to the Valley and have been looking to find reliable options when we go out of town to babysit our 2 cute young cats. We don’t have human babies so these are truly our babies! I immediately felt comfortable with Jessica and I could tell our girls were comfortable too. Our home was left tidy and I’m sure Mavis and Margaux appreciated having a loving sitter while we were gone. Looking forward to booking again ?”

About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and caring for them comes naturally to me. I have years of hands on experience with dogs of different ages, sizes, personalities, and energy levels. I’m comfortable with everything from puppies who need extra patience and structure to older dogs who may need a slower pace, medication reminders, or a little more reassurance. As a pet owner myself, I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else’s care. I pay close attention to each pet’s routine, personality, comfort level, and individual needs.

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We can’t thank Holly enough for stepping in at the last minute to take care of our pets! She was incredibly understanding and accommodating with our sudden trip, and her communication was excellent from start to finish. We really appreciated how attentive she was to all of our pets’ needs and how she kept us updated with messages and photos—it gave us such peace of mind while we were away. Everything was perfectly handled, and our pets were clearly happy and well cared for. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and professional pet sitter!”


“Justin spent 4 nights at our home babysitting our two cats. He was very professional, a good communicator, and our cats seemed completely calm when we returned...so they liked him! He left the house in great condition and we were very happy with his service!”


About: There have been so many cats in my care over the last 35 years. Recently, have specialized in felines needing specialty and medical attention. Cats are captivating and a joy to bond with.

“Don was excellent -- he accommodated our schedule at the last moment and looked after our friendly (but protective) German Shepherd pup as if it were his own. Thank you Don!!!”

“Sierra was so great with our dog Luna! Has a great place for dogs to relax and enjoy playing with each other. Shared updates and was quick to respond. Would absolutely recommend!”

“I felt really comfortable leaving Aya with Jackson. He is clearly a very experienced dog sitter and I couldn’t have been happier with his service. He also kept me updated throughout my dog’s stay which was great. I will 100% contact Jackson the next time I am in the area.”

“Shayna was excellent!! She was so good with my two miniature schnauzers. They came back to me happy and tired ?? I will definitely use her again. Thank you so much Shayna ❤️❤️”

“Gloria was wonderful with my dog and took such great care of her during her stay! My pup can be anxious in new places, but she came home calm and clearly well-loved. Gloria was very kind and sent regular updates throughout my dog’s stay, which gave me peace of mind. Her husband was also kind enough to help when I dropped off and picked up my dog. I appreciated how attentive Gloria was to my senior dog’s needs, including her medication schedule. My dog means the world to me, and I would absolutely trust Gloria with her again! 🩷”

“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.”

“Candace was very attentive to the specific needs of my dog. Her place was perfect for his needs. Sheis a very warm and loving person. My dog saw her as a member of the family.”

“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!”

“Joan is wonderful. As soon as we met her and her husband, we knew that Winston would be in good hands. We would leave him again with her in a heartbeat! Highly recommend. Thank you Joan for taking such wonderful care of Winston 💕”

“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!”

“Natalie watched our Siberian Husky mix twice while we explored Joshua Tree Nat’l Park. She was awesome to work with and took great care of our older dog, who is on a few meds. We received several pictures each day and Blance was clearly happy when we picked her up and super excited when we dropped her off the second day, so we know she had a great experience.”

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.
About: I provide calm, attentive care for dogs and cats in a home where I only take pets from one household at a time. Your pets stay together and are never mixed with unfamiliar animals, creating a low-stress, comfortable environment. I work from home full-time, so your pet gets consistent attention throughout the day, along with regular walks, playtime, and a structured routine. With over 10 years of experience, I’m comfortable with puppies, senior pets, and administering medication. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, relaxed, and cared for like they’re at home. While I don’t have a private yard, I’m close to dog-friendly outdoor areas and take dogs out regularly for walks and fresh air. • One household at a time (no mixing with other pets) • Full-time supervision (I work from home) • Calm, clean home environment • Frequent photo updates so you always know how they’re doing Feel free to reach out with any questions, I’m happy to set up a quick meet & greet to make sure it’s the right fit for you and your pet 😊 I work from home and have a flexible schedule so I am available to give your pet all the love, attention and exercise they need throughout the day! I have a spacious, open plan 2 bedroom apartment and my complex has a dog park. It is also located in a very walkable neighborhood. When looking after them in your home I will be sure to follow any routines you usually would.

“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!”

“Mikayla did exactly what I needed of her. She dropped in and let Ruby out to pee, took her on a walk, played with her while she was on the walk, sent me pictures of her playing and Ruby laying down at home after she took her back. She made sure Ruby went back out to potty and gave her some snacks and water. She did everything I had asked of her and more. She even double checked with me that Ruby didn’t need anything else I might’ve forgot before she left as I am away from home until tomorrow. Great job”


About: I’ve had hands-on experience caring for animals my entire life, including dogs, cats, geckos, hamsters, fish, ducks, and rabbits. Animals have always been a big part of my home, and I treat every pet like family. Currently, I share my home with three cats and a dachshund, and I understand the importance of patience, routine, and lots of love when it comes to pet care. Whether it’s playtime, walks, or simply keeping your pet comfortable while you’re away, I’m committed to making sure they feel safe and happy. I’m currently working from home so I have the flexibility to provide care to any fur babies. I like to wake up early so I can start my day off right and give pets the needed routine for an active and healthy day. Although it’s not very large, I have a fenced yard, which will allow for fur babies to play or simply soak up some fresh air. I also live minutes from the Station 86 dog park as well as have a grass area in my community, which is gated.

About: I’ve had dogs and cats throughout my life, and I truly enjoy caring for them, playing with them, and giving them the attention they deserve. I currently have a five-year-old Pug whom I absolutely adore, and adopting him was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made! I believe every animal has a unique personality, just like people do. Our pets aren’t simply pets—they’re beloved members of the family. No matter how difficult our day has been, they’re always waiting at the door, happy to see us and ready to make everything better—sometimes with a favorite toy as a welcome-home present! I would be delighted to give your furry family member plenty of care, companionship, playtime, and affection while you’re away. I love both dogs and cats, and I’m often available on short notice. If you pick up an extra shift or something unexpected comes up, just let me know. I’ll be happy to swing by, check on your fur baby, or take your dog out for some exercise and fun!

About: I am a cat mom to a bengal cat named Tango. Tango’s favorite activities include playing fetch, taking walks along the Seine (he’s just returned from 2 years in Paris) and play dates with his homies Hammy & Otie (dogs). 🫶🏼 Tango aspires to be a Royal Canin model. We live in a house in La Quinta with a fenced yard, great for playing and exercise while confined. Residential neighborhood near old town and the park. Great area for walks, safe and clean. I mostly work from home, unless I have to travel. Otherwise I am available all hours and can schedule according to your pets specific needs. I care for all pets the same way I would want my kitty cared for. My cat is like my child, he has a very unique personality and style that I have fostered since I got him. I approach each animal according to their unique personality and their owner’s caretaking style.
About: I’ve taken care, treated recovered dogs and have found a home to multiple dogs . My last puppy was a 9 year old (they are puppies no matter their age) was in a badly state when found and vets said she wouldn’t last a year. She stayed with us healthy and running for 5 years until a little tumor took her. I’ve also dog sat , Labrador retrievers with diabetes (injections and cleansing of eyes), weenier dogs that suffer from seizures (give medication on a specific time) and other dogs. I am a part time worker and online college student. I am available from 7:00 am - 3:00pm although my work schedule varies therefore my availability may be more accessible based on the day. I ensure that they have water and food in their designated food trays, I ensure that all the dog’s entrances ( outside /pooping area- inside/rest designated area) are accessible for them throughout the time I leave and their owners get back to them. With that, I also ensure the safety doors so there is no way for dogs to escape. I make sure to inspect the house for any safety hazards and will ask or call before leaving. Better safe than sorry.
“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”

About: Hi, I’m Savannah! While I’m new to the Rover community, I’m not new to caring for pets. I’ve cared for dogs and cats since childhood, and I’m always the first person friends and family trust to look after their pets. Whether your dog needs a good ol’ walk or a drop-in visit for some care and attention while you’re away, I’ll make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and cared for. I take the time to get to know each pet’s unique personality and needs. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your pet is in good hands.

About: I recently inherited my aunt‘s dog after she passed away. She wanted me to have Buddy that’s his name (he is the dog in my profile pic♥️)because I am so good with animals. He is a senior dog and I’ve rejuvenated him. We walk every day, I make him fresh, fresh, food I play with him. He’s super happy and it’s like he’s got a second lease on life a pep in his step. This is what I can provide to dogs that I watch or sit or walk. Caring loving attentive care until their mom or daddy returns.🐶 I wake up around 5:30 am and give my dog a walk. I make sure we are up bright and early so that we can get a walk in before the pavement is too hot for him. Then I come home and feed him his breakfast. Throughout the day we s play or if I leave and when I get back I will chase him around our couch. Buddy loves that! I am very gentle and follow the rules to a T. If there’s any instructions or preferences on treatment or care for the animal, always make sure that’s my number one priority.

“Don was great with our dog Jack when we had to go out of town for a few nights! He sent photos to keep us updated and was very accommodating when traffic delays meant we were late for our arranged pick up time. Don clearly loves dogs and has a great approach with them. We'll be back in touch whenever we have to travel again.”

“Alan & Joe took wonderful care of Niels. They played his favorite ball game all day. He came home happy and tired. I'm glad I found them und will definitely bring Niels there again.”

“Brandon was wonderful with my dog during an overnight stay. He provided great communication and regular updates, which gave me peace of mind. It’s clear he’s both knowledgeable and kind—my dog was in excellent hands.”

“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.”

“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.”

“I can’t even begin to describe how wonderful our experience was with Mark! He is exactly who you want to care for your dog. Mark is attentive, thoughtful, empathetic, and caring. And his dog training skills really help. We have a 5-year-old Akita who is a can be full of energy and can be a recipe for disaster. Mark was incredible with her! He goes above and beyond to make sure your dog has everything they need and has fun doing it. He was patient, loving, gave her so much attention, including taking her out for walks thru centennial trail and the river nearby all the while kept us updated with pics and texts. Unagi had an amazing time with Mark, and I could tell she had a great time when we returned to pick her up. Highly recommend him to others.”
“This was the first time we've left our Labradoodle, Dexter, since getting him a year ago, so we were plenty apprehensive. Our worries were immediately calmed down as Maggie sent pictures and videos each day! She is also amazing at responding quickly to texts, so there were never any anxious moments on our part. Not only was there a fenced back yard for Dexter to run in, but Maggie took him on walks/jogs which he no doubt enjoyed. We hope she is available the next time we need to board him!”

“Wow! What a great time Bee had with Brandon. He is obviously a big dog lover and gave our very young and energetic and, yes, mischievous pup full time attention. She came home so tired and calm. We got frequent communications so we never had to worry. We appreciate the flexibility and devotion shown by Brandon, and will definitely call on him next time we are in the Palm Springs area.”

“Jackson and his home was a great and safe place for us to leave our puppy, Monty. Monty was tired and happy when we came to collect, which was the sign of a great time! Jackson and his family are well versed in all things dog care and both super responsive and accommodating to all timing needs. Would throughly recommend to anyone looking to leave their four legged children in good hands.”

“Absolutely the best. I have a difficult dog, and Candace was extremely confident and loving with her. I have full peace of mind when she's watching my dog. Thank you Candace!”

“One of the best dog sitters i have ever add. They were attentive, sent pictures and lots of updates. I highly recommend and will do se again ! Thank you All very much! Amy”

“The day before drop off our dog seemed to be limping a bit so playtimes needed to be more gentle , we got pics and or videos daily , she was flexible with the times for drop off pick up and willing to meet in person before picking her. Our dog was not limping when we got him 4 days later and was doing much better, was clean and happy and would definately book again if we need help. Plus the price was affordable and reasonable”

“Ruby was exceptional! Our boy Ronin had a fantastic time and Ruby was very gracious about taking photos and videos and sending them to us throughout his stay. We would absolutely have Ronin stay with Ruby again! Highly Recommend! Michael”

“Tony seemed really great with my pup. Sent photos and updates regularly. Always nervous leaving my fur baby with someone new for the first time. Tony put my mind at ease so I could enjoy my few days away.”
