“Lauren did amazing with Major, he usually gets scared with people and won’t come out of his crate but she got him to go outside and potty! He also made a few messes but she cleaned it up and kept me updated on everything! I really appreciate her help and would recommend her help!”
“Adalia did an awesome job with my two cats. I received rover report cards and pictures every day. On the last day Ellie had a digestive issue and Adalia cleaned it up even though I said I could do it the next day. Will definitely use her again if she is available.”
About: I’ve been around animals my entire life, and caring for them has always been a natural part of who I am. I’ve trained all of my dogs as an adult—everything from solid leash manners to responding confidently to hand signals. I also have experience supporting senior pets with special needs. One of the dogs I cared for had hip dysplasia, and I helped him stand, walk, and get to the restroom safely. On the days he couldn’t get up and had accidents while lying down, I made sure he was cleaned, comfortable, and treated with patience and dignity. My love isn’t just for dogs—I’ve always had a soft spot for cats too. Whether it’s training, daily care, or supporting an animal through their toughest moments, I show up with compassion and steady, reliable care. I don’t have a normal 9 to five job I’m gone for two weeks out of the month for work and home for two weeks during that two weeks. My schedule is completely clear, which allows me to focus on all the awesome animals. I always require a meet and greet to ensure a good fit for everyone. I never allow dogs off-leash in unsecured areasa and I am cautious with door-dashing and ensure pets are securely indoors. I provide photo/video updates with every visit and am quick to respond to messages. I live in a non-smoking household with a fully fenced 6-foot wooden fence. I live near a large quiet park, perfect for nervous pups. I have a quiet, separate room for pets that need a break, and no kids are present. I will treat your home with the same respect as my own and always lock up securely.
“Rayana is super attentive and great with the dogs. She gets right down on the floor with them to play with them. She lets the dogs out, supervises them while they're in the yard and is very reliable. She really goes above and beyond to make sure the girls are well taken care of.”
About: I’ve been surrounded by dogs my whole life. I’ve worked at two animal shelters, socializing dogs, playing with them, feeding them on time, bathing them. I’ve owned four dogs, two of them recently passed and lived up to ages 16 and 12. I’ve lived with my cousin and her 4 large dogs with specific feeding needs and her 4 cats. The last shelter I worked at mostly had cats and kittens, some with special needs that I cared for. I’m not currently employed and have plenty of time in my schedule to give to an animal. I do not live alone, but still need to be home to help with my two. Nonetheless, I have lots of time on my hands right now. Any specific requirements they need, I will fulfill to my best abilities. Dogs and cats are weird creatures with weird specific needs sometimes. They have their ow personalities and likes and dislikes, so I understand. I can let them out for potty breaks, play with, and feed them. As long as there is a small list of instructions.

My wife has experience watching, housing and designing diets for cats/dogs/ferrets. We currently take are dogs for walks down to beach or we like to go hiking the hills around Helendale.

About: I have a lifelong passion for caring for animals and have been helping with dogs and cats since I was very young.

I take pride in getting to know each pet’s personality and ensuring they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while in my care. I’m also happy to help around the house if needed, whether it’s feeding schedules, basic grooming, or just keeping them company. My goal is to make life easier for you and your pets, providing peace of mind that they’re in caring, dependable hands. For me, it’s not just a job—it’s something I truly enjoy doing every day!

Please ask me any questions:) i have a very friendly maltipoo that will keep your cat/dog entertained. I also have a spare bedroom that can be a quiet room for the pet to have there own quiet space
“Such an amazing pet sitter. So attentive to the needs of my four cats and so loving. Her communication was awesome and she left the house so clean. I would recommend her 💯!!!!! She was consistent and came at the same time each day, which helped her build a rapport with my cats and help create a routine for them.”
“Dons a lifesaver! New to the neighborhood with a pack of anxious pups and he responded right away to my inquiry, came out to meet them and a visit was set! Being Updated throughout the whole process made me feel at ease while away at work. Will definitely be re-booking and highly recommend.”
About: I have had dogs all my life and was always the one who took care of them and took them on walks and would love to keep your fur babies company while you’re away. I am a stay at home mom so my schedule is very flexible and would love to have a fur baby join us on our daily walks. I have a large fenced in back yard and a son who also loves dogs and playing with them and is very gentle with them.
About: Hello, do you want reliable caring services provided to you for your pets? You found the right page! I had pets all my life and absolutely adore every animal out there! I don’t just watch I build a bond! I have a very calm natured home where they can roam freely or relax inside a kennel. Huge backyard and the house is filled with dog toys and treats! Stress free environment as well! I love dog walking too, not just good for me but it is great for animals as well. I offer walking and jogging for active dogs out there! Thank you for viewing this message and I hope you are interested so I can meet yet another friendly animal! Thank you for your time
About: My family members have owned dogs, chickens, rabbits, and cats, so I’ve always had love for animals. I promise to follow whatever boundaries you have set for your pet, as well as make them feel as if you never even left while you enjoy your getaway. Love to play with animals, & I’ve found that they enjoy my company too. As of right now, I am unemployed, available whenever you need me, but that’s only for a limited time. I’m also available any time of day :). I will be working in your home, simply due to the fact that I live with people who allergic to certain animals. I usually feed my own pets on a schedule, but I am willing to work with whatever you provide. I can also bring toys for your pet! <3
About: I have grown up with dogs for most of my life, I have helped raised 5 dogs in my family's home. I have learned to raise dogs since they were born. I've learned how to train them when I used to go to doggy training at petco. How to keep them active, how to play with them, relax with them, bathe them. I know such a good amount of knowledge and it still surprises me when I learn something new. I love and adore dogs. I am currently active duty, so my schedule usually ends with work off after 3 or 3:30pm. I am available weekends for whatever your animal needs. When I usually see my family and help care for the family pets, I love taking them to a park or a nice hike/walk. I think it's super important for dogs to be as active as possible (well at least untill they used up all their energy for the day) to make sure they get their bones and muscles moving to keep them healthy. Then a nice warm bath to make sure they stay clean and fresh. I usually like to spend at least a hour with redoing the tricks they have been taught. So it stays fresh in their memory and to make sure they aren't getting rusty on doing the trick. Then usually it's the end of the day, the dog had exceeded the energy for the day and it is now ready to relax. Anything you need help with for your animal can be taken care of.
About: I’ve been surrounded by dogs my whole life and have always loved them. I currently still have 2 of my own. I have helped take care of litters of our own puppies, and volunteered at my local animal shelter. I am confident that my knowledge and love for animals will help me take care of yours too! I am a busy stay at home mom of 3 littles, but I am usually always home and able to provide my services when needed! I do my best to ensure all animals are comfortable and feel safe around me, wherever we are. I like to bond with them and earn their trust. Whether it’s a walk, or ensuring their comfort while you’re away, count on me!
“What a fantastic first-time experience. Afton was professional and personable, I could also tell that my pets were well taken care of during my time away. I was originally wary of letting someone into my home for so many days, but everything was just as I left it, and my pets were very happy. It was fantastic having someone local, and I would definitely recommend Afton to anyone looking for pet care in the High Dessert or wherever she may venture to in the future.”
About: Hi! I'm Emily. I own two Siamese- mixed cats named De Vil and Shadow. Throughout my life, I've taken care of a variety of pets such as dogs, cats, and chickens. My experience with these animals has given me the skills involved with handling all range of animals and ensure each and every pet is taken care of and nurtured. I am available from 6:00 am to 7:30pm, every day. I believe it's important to keep animals on a schedule, I make it a top priority to be punctual and organized. For a safe and fun adventure, I typically carry treats, water, and spare leashes. I can also follow any specific requirements and bring any special items that your pet may need. I look forward to spending time with and getting to know your pets. I recommend meet-and-greets, so your animal has a chance to get to know me, while also guaranteeing the animal's comfort and trust in the presence of its owner.
About: I have excellent experience with all ages of dogs and cats, I used to have multiple pugs, a Chihuahua and a hound dog I trained them myself . I also have alot of patience for the senior animals,I had my Chihuahua and my hound dog for their entire life. I'm a caring gentle , and patient animal lover and if I had the money I would open a no kill shelter for all animals including exotic and live stock. I'm very detailed and prideful when it comes to the care of animals. I respect any and all rules set down for your fur babies, and household rules. Please be prepared to do a meet and greet before any bookings are accepted. thank you - Brittany Due to job loss after 3 years of employment, my schedule will be open for the most part outside of my motherly and spousal duties. But for the most part completely flexible. I don’t accept boarding at this time , I have done a couple of house sitting jobs before 2020 happened. If a house sitting is what you would like please have a list of rules and expectations written for me as I have had past miscommunications and I would like to better serve your pets needs and abide by all house rules as smoothly as possible. I do have experience with grooming my own dogs and include a grooming table, and various tools such as scissors and shaving tools, also shampoos. I’m no professional but I am confident in my development. I will respect you,your home and your pets completely.
