“Katie was great! I needed a last minute sitter for my dog and she accepted so quickly! Really appreciated the help and she kept me updated on how he was doing throughout the day. Would recommend!”
“Victoria was amazing with my dog! Super communicative, she even sent cute photo updates throughout the day. I would highly recommend her and will definitely be using her again for doggie daycare! :)”
“Jo was awesome! She arrived early to meet Vaughan. She took great care of our four legged. She sent great pictures so we could see how well Vaughan was doing. When we arrived home, Vaughan was a happy camper and was curled up on Jo's lap. We already booked another date. Thanks Jo.”
“Jackson was so helpful when I needed a last minute doggy daycare situation. Denali loved being at his house! Jackson was very communicative and took great care of him. I will be using him again.”
“Thank you for watching Nala! It’s tough leaving our old pup with strangers but she seemed very comfortable with Geraldine for the time being. Her place was a fun little getaway for our pup as well as it had big open yards and turf.”
About: I got my first pet when I was six years old. Since then, I have been taking care of dogs, cats, rabbits, hamsters, and fish for over 15 years. My friends, family, and neighbors rely on me to feed their pets, take them on walks, bathe them and even trim their nails, if needed. I love all pets and enjoy taking care of them as if they were my own. I can fit your schedule anytime with a week’s notice. For walks, mornings are more favorable due to weather conditions. For emergency care, one day advance would be preferred. I have a fenced yard where your dogs can play outside on the grass or they can enjoy indoor play with cool A/C. They’ll have their own room or they can be crated if needed.
“My husband and I have used Rover numerous times before COVID. After COVID, I mostly had my family watch our dog, especially during longer vacations. We had a golf trip coming up in Palm Springs, and at first I considered taking my dog to daycare. We even scheduled a meet and greet. About a week before the trip, I decided to book through Rover and wanted to make sure my dog was safe and with a responsible sitter. I chose Amy because she only takes one dog at a time, which worked perfectly for us since my dog does not usually get along with dogs that are bigger than him. The neighborhood felt safe for walks with Carter, and Amy sent plenty of updates throughout our stay. I felt completely at ease and did not have to worry about him the entire time while we were playing golf. We will definitely book Amy again when we are in Palm Springs. Thank you, Amy and Juan for taking good care of Carter!”
“Jennifer was an amazing dog sitter for Coco. Jennifer’s dog, Stella, was playful, and the two dogs got along wonderfully. It was great knowing Coco had a fun companion to play with. I can tell Jennifer was very attentive and made the whole experience easy and stress-free. I could tell Coco was well loved and cared for. I highly recommend Jennifer to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter!”

I will try my best to work around your needs. and I will see what If needed or preferred, I can crate your dog at night if you bring a kennel. Your dogs feeding schedule and foods are important as well.
“Angelica R. was an absolute lifesaver! She responded promptly to my early morning, last-minute request and provided clear, detailed directions to her home, including designated parking. She met me right on time and welcomed Maya with such love and care, as if she already knew her. Throughout the stay, Angelica sent pictures and updates, which gave me complete peace of mind knowing Maya was safe and happy. Her rates are reasonable, and her warm, positive vibe made the experience even better. I wouldn’t think twice about trusting her again when I’m in town! Highly recommend!”
“Jill and her husband were so kind and welcoming! They welcomed Nobu with open arms and took such great care of him. They took him on walks, and let him dip in the pool, the ideal day! Would definitely have them watch Nobu again!”
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.
About: With over 50 years of experience living with and caring for dogs, I offer attentive, one-on-one care in a serene Rancho Mirage home. I work from home full time and accept only one small dog at a time, ensuring a calm, personalized, and thoughtfully supervised stay. Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine because I work from home full time. Dogs are never left alone for long periods and are included naturally in my day with regular walks, playtime, feeding, and quiet companionship. My schedule allows for consistency, attentiveness, and a relaxed, predictable environment throughout the week. I provide a quiet, structured, and attentive environment focused on safety and comfort. In my home, pets are supervised at all times, follow their normal routines, and are walked in calm, green areas nearby. I accept only one dog at a time, maintain a clean, pet-safe space, and communicate regularly so owners feel informed and confident throughout their pet’s stay.
About: My experience with dogs is Taking care of them involves much more than just feeding and walking; it’s about forging a deep, trusting bond with each individual form small to big.I previously worked at PetSmart, where I gained hands-on experience caring for a variety of animals including cats, dogs, reptiles, birds, and small pets. That role helped me develop strong skills in animal handling, feeding, cleaning, and monitoring health and behavior. Now, I work at an animal shelter where I primarily care for many cats and dogs. My responsibilities include ensuring they are fed, exercised, kept in a clean and safe environment, and shown compassion while they wait for adoption. This experience has strengthened my dedication to animal welfare and expanded my ability to provide care for animals in need. I’m currently in college working on becoming a vet one day, I love animals since I was kid so I always enjoy spending time with animals. I have 3 friendly dogs form small to big with so much space around to play and have fun they are always taken care of always feed and behaved well
“Cayenne had a great time, she felt very comfortable going inside the house, (she is usually apprehensive). She came home with homemade cookies that she is crazy about and was very tired afterwards.”
About: I’m Valiantsina. I work online from home, so your pet will have company and supervision all day long. I know how much it means to have someone actually there for your furry friend, so they’ll never feel lonely. I’m very attentive to instructions and will make sure your pet sticks to their usual routine. Since I’m not tied to an office, I’m flexible with walks and can take your dog out as much as they need in the beautiful parks nearby. Our home is a calm, pet-free space where your dog or cat can truly relax. My son is great with animals and is very gentle, so your pet will be in a loving environment. I’ll be sure to send you regular photo and video updates so you can see how they’re settling in. Looking forward to meeting your pet! I am at home all day. I can devote all my time to your pets. Also near my house there are beautiful parks where we can go for walks, if you want I don't have any pets at the moment, so your pet will be in a calm and friendly environment. I have a child in the house. He is very careful and loving towards pets. He will happily play with them if they like it :)

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Willis Palms
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 322 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Willis Palms. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Willis Palms commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in CA ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Every sitter 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 .
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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 sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters 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.
Yes, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 322 sitters in Willis Palms, 89% respond to messages in under an hour.
You can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care today or tomorrow, you can look for sitters with a "calendar last updated" notice on their profiles.
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 sitter.
