“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’ve had both dogs and cats since I was 5 years old, giving me more than 40 years of hands-on experience caring for pets. I understand that every animal has its own unique personality and needs, and I take the time to provide the individualized care, patience, and attention each pet deserves. Pet care has always been a part of my daily routine. I structure my schedule to ensure pets receive the attention, exercise, feeding, medication (if needed), and companionship they deserve. Whether it’s morning walks, playtime, maintaining their regular routines, or simply providing comfort and affection, I enjoy making pets a priority and treating them like family. When caring for pets in my clients’ homes, I make it a priority to maintain their normal routines and keep them comfortable in their familiar environment. I follow all instructions regarding feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications, and any special care needs. I understand that every pet is unique, so I take the time to learn their personalities, preferences, and routines. My goal is to provide dependable, loving care while giving pet owners peace of mind knowing their pets are safe, happy, and well cared for while they’re away.
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.
“Sarah was so friendly and had great communication. We felt at ease all day knowing that she was taking care of Theo. Plus, when she came for a meet and greet with Theo the day before, Theo was so excited to meet her and couldnt stop kissing her. Pups know best ❤️”
About: Lover of all animals. 20 years experience with our own dogs and others both HUGE and Small. Recently said goodbye to our old boy (a Large Great Weimar) and looking to spend some time with new doggy friends until we get our next. Extensive history with senior dogs and all of the care that goes along with that (assisted bathroom walks, pill schedules, dog bed changing, pee pads, etc), especially patience and love. Also happy with long walks or hikes for the adventurous tail waggers out there! My husband works from home full time, and I currently am available to give my full attention to our pet friends. So walks and attention at any time are not a problem. We have a large fenced in yard with additional barriers that can be added if needed. Lots of grass and play areas for fetch available. We also live in a gated golf community, with many paths and trails for any length of walks and play.
About: I can address the unique requirements of large and small breed dogs. I provide specialized care for senior and advanced senior dogs, ensuring their golden years are comfortable and healthy. I work full-time but seasonally at a large local hotel and my hours vary. I have a very flexible schedule and can work around calendar based obstacles. I find that most animals actually like to stay in their own yard, but if need be, I do have decent sized back yard and it is secured by brick walls / concrete barriers.
About: I grew up on a farm in England with working dogs, which gave me a love for animals and led me to a life working professionally with them. After 32 years of running my own pet care business in Los Angeles, I relocated to the Coachella Valley where I continue to walk, exercise, and socialize dogs, while also working as a dog trainer. I'm available Monday thru Friday from 7am until 5pm, so we can work out walks and visits depending on your schedule and your dog's needs. Your dog will always be walked on leash, with the exception of fenced dog parks. Dogs can be crated during transport, if that makes them more comfortable. With my many years of experience, I know exactly how to work with dogs with a focus on the safety, calm, and happiness of the animal.
About: What sets me apart is the genuine love and attention I give every pet in my care. As a dedicated dog mom myself, I understand how important it is to have someone patient, reliable, and truly attentive watching over your fur baby. Whether it’s daily walks, drop-ins, or extended care, I intentionally plan my week to make sure every pet in my care receives dependable attention, patience, and love. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on maintaining their normal routine as closely as possible. I follow all feeding, walking, medication, and household instructions carefully so pets feel secure in their familiar space. I also keep homes tidy and respect each client’s preferences and boundaries.
“Fantastic experience with Mara getting our pupster back into the routine of her daily walk! Rarely have I seen our girl so happy about going for her walk; she literally glows her special smile when walking with Mara! Mara also takes the most interesting, artistic photos of our pupster and shares with us.”
“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 Henny. I have been playing and caring for cats and dogs for the past 25 years, but I gained my patience, compassion, and deep love for pets when I began volunteering at the animal shelter. I became more comfortable of all breeds and sizes. This continues on with looking after family friends’ pets which I really enjoyed. I currently have a mixed terrier named Lucy. She is estimated to be 13 years young. I will care for your fur-baby like my own. I am a yoga teacher with varying work hours but I’m never out of the house for more than couple of hours. I am available for overnight persisting at your home to minimize pet stress and happy to drop in for visit. I have Big fenced backyard with plenty of space to sniff around and be free. I often hang around in my backyard with the pups to enjoy the fresh air or some sun rays.
About: I have taken care of pets ever since I was 7 years old. I had pet sat dogs and cats; puppies and kittens. I pay attention to your pets body language and cues to make sure they are well and happy. I am a university student currently with lots of free time! I am currently unemployed, focusing on school, so whenever you need it, I am there I have a large fenced yard. I have pets at home that stay separated to keep everyone safe. I check on what your pet usually touches like food bowls, potty pads, etc., and refill and maintain as needed.
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!
“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: Hi! My name is Diana, and I’m a lifelong animal lover who treats every pet as if they were my own. I have experience caring for dogs and cats of all sizes and personalities, from playful puppies to gentle seniors. I’m reliable, patient, and detail-oriented—so you can trust that your pet’s routine, safety, and happiness will always come first. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or just keeping them company, I make sure they get plenty of love and attention while you’re away. I am available most of the time to be with your fur baby! I can do boarding most nights but please ask and I’m happy to let you know availability I have a shared back yard, lots of living room space for playing and a gated community to walk your fur baby. I have a 5 year old beagle named Benson to play with your fur baby!
About: I have hands-on experience caring for three high-maintenance, large-breed dogs—including walking, bathing, feeding, and handling their unique needs. I understand how much care and patience big dogs require, and I’m confident in managing strong, energetic pups with love and consistency. I currently work part-time, which gives me plenty of flexibility during the week and availability on weekends. I enjoy spending time with animals and have time to play, walk, and care for them just like I do with my own dogs. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or my client’s, I treat them like family. I follow any instructions closely—feeding schedules, medications, walk times, and special needs. I make sure pets feel safe and loved by keeping their routine consistent, giving them lots of attention, and respecting their space. I also keep the home clean and tidy, just as I would want someone to do in mine.
About: I have always had animals. From cats, dogs, chickens, ducks, cows, and sheep. From babies to elders. My love for animals has always been a source of joy in my life and I would love to care for yours too! I did just have a baby over the summer so I would have him in tow with me at visits. I am a stay at home mom of a beautiful daughter and newborn son, 2 dogs and 3 cats. I am available to come by as needed to ensure your babies are taken care of. I am very diligent in following directions to ensure your pets safety and your peace of mind. My pets at home are treated like they are my children and I know you feel the same about yours.
About: I’m a former dog groomer with hands-on experience working with dogs of all sizes, breeds, energy levels, and temperaments. Over the years I’ve learned how to read canine body language closely and prioritize safety, calm handling, and trust-building with every dog I care for. I’m especially experienced with large breeds, high-energy dogs, senior dogs, rescue dogs, and dogs that may be reactive, anxious, or slow to warm up. My experience has taught me the importance of patience, structure, and strong situational awareness during walks, introductions, and everyday care. Whether your dog is playful and energetic or prefers a calm and gentle approach, I tailor my care to their individual personality and needs. I understand how important it is to leave your pet with someone dependable, attentive, and communicative, and I treat every dog as if they were my own. I currently do not work a traditional 9–5 schedule, which gives me the flexibility to provide attentive and consistent pet care throughout the day. I’m able to accommodate walks, drop-in visits, feeding schedules, playtime, and companionship while making each pet feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I currently do not offer boarding services at my home. But I will be more than happy to watch your furry babies at your home =)

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Willis Palms. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Willis Palms.

The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every walker on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .

- 94% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 99% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% can help with daily exercise

Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and walkers on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement walker.
