“Kyla watched our dogs and kitty for two and a half days, and she did an excellent job! I’m so thankful that I met her. She was punctual, responsible, and very respectful of our home. She also spent lots of time with our pets. My dogs are extra shy, but in a short time they came to love her. She has a calm and sweet presence that just fit my dogs and cat perfectly. She sent me plenty of updates and pictures, and I really appreciated that. I’d hire her again in a second. She’s great!”


“Jon has been so helpful with my two French Bulldogs—checking in on them while I’m at work. He is trustworthy, very dog-friendly, kind, and professional. Whatever your specific needs are with your pets, Jon is just the type of person that is up to the task. He genuinely seems to care and will give your pets plenty of love and attention!”


About: I grew up on a ranch with several mixed breed family dogs and a few barn cats. I volunteered at small and large veterinary clinics during college break, as well as volunteered at local animal shelters over the years. We have a senior rescue in our home, Walter, and a couple younger pups we also adopted with loads of energy. Depending on your pets needs, I can throw the ball as much as your pup wants to play fetch, I can take your pup hiking, to the dog park, or around the neighborhood. If your fur baby just wants love and cuddles and indoor playtime, it all works. You tell me what is best for them and I will 100% follow your direction. I am retired (finance career) and have time on my hands to devote to your special family member. I run on time, follow directions, and ready to keep your pet happy and healthy. As a very active person, I am not the type to sit on the couch or the bench at the dog park; I would be very interactive with them. We have rescue dogs and I assure you, your dog will be in safe and reliable hands with me. At this point I'm not ready to have pets in our home, but I don't mind traveling within the Rancho Mirage/Palm Desert area with some exceptions if I need to travel a bit farther for a client. Whatever instructions you give me (ie play and food preferences the pup has) I will certainly follow. I have left my own detailed list of items when we've been away, so don't worry, I won't take any shortcuts and I am also a good communicator, not just with the owner, but I love talking with the pets as well.

About: I’m a huge dog lover looking to make a little extra income in a way that brings me great joy. I’m a natural caretaker and have taken care of dogs since I got my first dog at 5 years old. Since then I’ve taken care of family members dogs (a 75 lb golden doodle and a 15 lb westie) and would love to take care of more! I have a very active lifestyle so I love running around with dogs and taking them for walks but also love a snuggle just as much. Fun fact: when I was little, my uncle had a dog named “Hannah” and I used to ask what it was like when I was a dog! I work from home full time and have a very flexible schedule. I’m available most days during the day or in the evenings and at any time on the weekends. I will keep your furry friend company all day long since I work from home and can use a crate if it’s needed. Let me know if there’s anything else I can do to help make you and your furry friend comfortable!

“My dogs loooove you!!Thank you so much for loving and caring for them like I do!! It's such peace of mind knowing you adore them and treat them like your own!!! Until next time! 🤗 XO”


About: Since I was 10, I have been walking and pet sitting all kinds of animals. I love animals and have plenty of experience. I have worked with pets of all ages from puppies and kittens to senior pets. Additionally, I have been a volunteer at a local animal shelter for 2+ years. I am currently only doing walks and drop in visits and I have open availability to walk your pet whenever you need me. I prefer to do walks around noon or in the afternoon. I have my own pets who I take great care of and you can trust me to care for your own pet as well. My open availability allows me to spend time with your pet whenever needed.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats growing up from friends and family. Grew up on a farm with plenty of animals. Love them all! I currently work full time during weekdays but can care during the weekends full time! Friday nights-Sunday night. Can also do walks 6am-8am or after 5 on weekdays. I ensure plenty of play time and outside walks are provided. I never let the pet feel alone as they are already feeling alone away from their owner!

“Such a blessing to have Matthew watch over our fur babies! He was attentive, responsive and dedicated to keeping our babies safe and secure during our vacation. Daily updates and fast responses, even though we were halfway around the globe. He adapted to a problem while we were gone, and resolved it for us without complaint. If you’re thinking about him, don’t think twice, just book!”


“Erika is amazing, she does such a good job with my two cats! Sometimes they can be little trouble makers and she cleaned up the mess they made. She’s definitely my go-to cat sitter when I have to head out of town.”


“Sarah is amazing! She jumped right in with our puppy who is now 11 almost 12 weeks old. She took such precious care of Winnie. She mixed it up with him daily (Toys, Treats). Winnie also quickly took to Sarah and could tell she is definitely an animal lover. The thing we loved is that she picked up our routine and training this helped us stay consistent. Sarah also added personalize touches during and after her time. She took the time to write us a thank you note and left present for Winnie. We feel lucky to have met such a wonderful dog walker. Thank you Sarah!!”


“Hannah and William did a great job! And they went far above and beyond by lugging in 5 good size boxes of soil (delivered to our doorstep) to our garage. We would definately use them again.”


About: I have dedicated my life, after the tragic loss of my beloved Sake the Shiba, to caring for and showing kindness and love to dogs . I specialize in older dogs but welcome puppies as well. I have 20+ years of experience ranging from puppies to seniors. I work from a home, so my commute is short, and am able to set my own schedule. This enables me to be available on short notice I have a space without other dogs or pets so that I can focus soley on the needs of your beloved dog. without any distractions.

“Mary did an outstanding job looking after my precious boy, Cornelius. The photos and comments she sent were adorable and gave me peace of mind. It was a delight to come home to a happy cat that had been loved, cared for, and pampered in my absence. I am lucky to have found Mary and would re-book her in a heartbeat. I can’t recommend her enough.”


“Ayman was great! He responded quickly, and on short notice was able to watch our dog. He was even able to get him to walk further than anyone else we have used. Thanks a ton Ayman!”


About: I have been surrounded by animals my entire life. From my childhood German Shepherd to my first puppy, I’ve always had a special connection with dogs. That explains why I live happily with two fur-babies, Rigatoni and Millie. Between caring for my clients pets and pets of my own over the last decade, I believe I have attained the necessary skills to properly care for any house pet no matter the size or temperament. I understand the love and attention our fellow canine friends need. I make it my responsibility to keep my client's pets active, regular, well-fed and properly groomed. I stick to a schedule and prefer a 24-hour notice, but I can definitely remain lenient with last minute conflicts as we all have them at one point or another. That said, I work from home and can certainly be flexible with your schedule. I am almost always willing to make special accommodations. I graduated from UCLA and work as a media planner for Ohio State University. In my free time, I’m always looking for flexible ways to combine my passions with work. I work from home and am free every day of the week. I live in a home with a large fenced backyard and tons of shade. I enjoy walking my dogs in the evening when it has cooled down a bit but I am totally willing and able to take your fur baby on as many walks as they need to stay healthy and happy. Additionally, I can always crate your fur baby or keep them in a private room if necessary.
