“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!”


“Lydia shows how much she loves animals by how caring she was for my cat Maui. He isn’t left alone too often so Lydia made sure she spent time with him, sent me pictures and a full report on how he was doing. He warmed up to her right away. Next time I’m away, I’ll for sure use Lydia. Thank you!”


“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.

“I couldn't be happier with Robert looking after my Penny. Penny loves Robert's visits. I think it makes her day so much better when I'm away at work. Robert seems to be a "dog whisperer".”


“Semran was awesome! She took good care of my two goldens while I was away. She knows how to take care of two big dogs with no problem! My dogs really loved her. I could tell they were very happy when I got back home”


“Janice and Tilly are looking forward to future visits and pets!”


About: I’ve rescued senior pets for over a decade and have plenty of experience with puppies, cats, and pets with big personalities. I run my own business and mostly work from home, so your furry fam will get all the attention, love, and weird little chats they deserve. I’m all about keeping animals comfy, happy, and feeling like they’re right where they belong! Since I work from home and set my own hours, I can easily build my day around your pet’s routine. Whether it’s morning walks, midday play breaks, or cozy overnight hangs, I’m flexible—and fully present. Your pet gets consistent care, attention, and yes, a well-stocked snack stash. Whether I’m caring for your pet in your home or mine, their safety and comfort always come first. I maintain a clean, calm environment, stick closely to their routine, and pay attention to the little details—like favorite nap spots or treat preferences. I believe in clear communication, regular updates, and creating a space that feels safe, familiar, and full of love (plus the occasional squeaky toy).


“Jay was fantastic!! We had a last minute trip and she was able to accommodate our schedule with no problems l, even with very short notice. She dropped in on Tucker, played with him, gave him a good run around the back yard and fed him dinner. And she gave a little love to the kitties :-) A true animal lover, highly recommend Jay! She won’t let you down!!”

“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: I have had a dog or cat of my own for many years but not at this time and would like to have some back in my life by sitting yours. I'm retired so have plenty of time to love and care for your pet(s) in your home. My home limits what pets I can have so I prefer to love others at their homes. I will love and watch over each and every pet as if is was my own. Their schedules will become my schedules and I will keep them safe and happy.

“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!”


“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.

“Erika was a fabulous cat sitter! She was very attentive and gave our cat so much care and attention while we were gone. Excellent communication and great pics. I am so happy to have a dependable pet sitter now! Thank you Erika!”


“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’ve always had cats and dogs at home since I was a kid. Every now and then my friends relatives would ask me to House and dog seat for them. So I did that back in Russia, when I was living in Thailand, and since now I moved down to the US, I’ll be happy to get to know you and help you with your furry babies! My best achievement is a rescue cat Simba who learned how to use a toilet bowl in five weeks with me. I’m very proud of him even though you can expect a line to the bathroom at home now :) I am currently unemployed and a dependent on my husband so I’m very flexible with times and days. I wake up early often at sunrise and it’s a perfect time for a walk before it’s too hot I have a fenced backyard and a dog park 7 minutes walk from me. I’ll be happy to learn about your pet character and how they like to spend their time. Last time I did housesitting for my friend here in the desert we played in the pool, slept in the same bed and of course cuddled a lot! I make sure I feed them on time, play with them and do whatever they like if it’s at your place. You can expect me giving showers to your pets too

“Our kitties love getting a visit from Joe”


“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.”

“I have known Maile for over 10 years. She is an absolute animal advocate and animal lover! She goes out of her way to make sure her dogs (all 4 of them, all rescued!) are properly fed, happy, content, exercised, and LOVED!! She is absolutely DEVOTED to her dogs and their well being. She is completely trustworthy and reliable. When she says she’ll be there, she’s there and on time! I have never had a problem with her entering my house and checking on my cats, or my property. I have no hesitation on recommending her to be your next reliable dog walker/sitter.”

thank you Hannah & Will for taking great care of my boys(cats). I would highly recommend them and will use there service again.

Mathew was Awesome. Every day I got a picture of him playing with Grayson so I knew he was in good hands while I was away. Thank You Mathew 😊

Great at caring for my Miloh and was on top of everything with communicating with me and I know I could rely on Jon.

Erika is an absolute gem! We chose to work with her because we have two cats and saw she had experience specifically with kitties. Erika went above and beyond to care for our babies while we were away for a trip. She spent long quality time with them and sent plenty of adorable photos in each update! Whenever we go away again, we will definitely feel secure with her care and can tell she is for sure a cat person with a calm and comforting demeanor. Thanks again!!
