“Lacey and Payton are the best! Our 10 month puppy stayed with them while we rented an Airbnb with friends close by. During our stay Starfish went into heat and Lacey handled it like a pro! Lacey is super communicative, loving, knowledgeable, and positive! We will 100% rebook when we visit Yucca Valley again!”


“Alice was amazing. We left our 3 dogs in her care for a week while on a cross country trip. Her home is perfectly set up to keep animals safe and we felt completely comfortable with her.”


“Love Kloe if there is more than 5 stars we would give her more . She did very well with our Ace. She was sending us pictures all the time of our baby. Seems like our dog was enjoying her company. Thank you Kloe for taking care of Ace and we are looking forward to having her take care of Ace in the future.”


“5 outta 5 barks! My little one has since stayed twice with Dana and what a wonderful fit! My girl comes back happy, healthy, tired and most importantly clean. So happy to have found her”


“We left our dog Jade with Taura, and honestly, we weren’t sure she’d want to come back home — she had that good of a time! From the start, it was clear how kind, attentive, and genuinely loving Taura is with all dogs. Jade is usually pretty reserved, but she warmed up right away and looked so happy in all the updates we got! We could tell she was in great hands — getting tons of attention, and a peaceful, caring environment. Taura was extremely accommodating with us and is a very caring person!”


“Tayler was absolutely wonderful with my doggo. Sent me lots of picture and video updates. They walked and played with him lots. My dog had a wonderful time at their place and with their Goldie girl, Lady. I just knew my dog was safe and happy while I was away.”

About: I absolutely love cats and dogs. I grew up raising/training labs and German shepherds. I currently have 3 fur babies; my oldest shepherd is actually from my families last litter and our youngest shepherd is a rescue although you wouldn’t know it since they act like siblings. Our cat is also a rescue and prefers to stay out of sight from the dogs but is super friendly and talkative when he meets new people. I had a chocolate lab and took care of him until he was 14. (Diapers , shots, oral medication, you name it he and we probably went through it together) if you have a senior dog I am more than happy to help with any extra care that comes along. I’ve raised all my fur babies (with the exception of our cat) from the puppy stages to the elderly stages. I recently moved here and spend 24/7 with my fur babies so I figured why not spend time with more fur babies! I’m currently available Monday to Friday any time. We do allow the fur babies on the furniture and have a small patio that is fenced in so the dogs can go potty when it’s too hot to walk. We also have a small pool that we regularly set up for the dogs in the back so they can play outside in the heat (supervised). I take my dog on walks before the sun starts cooking us and when the sun goes down to stretch their legs. I can take the dogs to the park and play with them as well😊.

“Louella is an absolute dream of a dog sitter. She is so kind, sweet, gentle and friendly. She’s also responsible and has excellent communication skills. Her house and yard are beautiful and dog friendly. She took pictures of Bek and gave me updates (he always looked super happy and relaxed) which was great. I also felt like I could relax and be completely present on my vacation, which is a rare feeling when you have someone else looking after your pup. Can’t speak highly enough!”


“Feeling very lucky to have found Ryan to sit and board our little guy over the holidays. She’s obviously great with dogs and it’s just her and Charly (her super sweet dog) working from home so Gram got lots of play time and attention. She gave us daily updates with photos and communication with her was a breeze. When we picked Gram up and were leaving he went back over to Ryan to say bye 🥹. Will be reaching out next time!”


“Monica took care of my 2 small dogs overnight while we were camping in Joshua Tree. I had to throw away my dogs’ food due to ant infestation. I was going to buy dog food on our way to her house but am unfamiliar with the area. She offered to feed my dogs with the available dog food she has. She sent me photos and updates how my dogs were doing. She has a friendly and patient attitude. Highly recommended.”


“My dogs loved hanging out at Shawna’s! We were in town visiting from the east coast for a friend’s wedding. Shawna helped me out by watching Maeby and Merle overnight while I was attending the wedding. It was their first ever sleepover without me, so I was a little nervous. Shawna made me feel at ease by discussing expectations before the trip. Once I dropped the dogs off at Shawna’s I knew they were in great hands! Her space is so dog friendly and spacious. She updated us with videos and photos and even gave us the cutest hand written doggy report card afterwards! I would definitely bring my dogs there again next time I am in town! Thanks again Shawna :)”


About: I’ve cared for all kinds of dogs, from puppies to elderly. Great pet friendly home with fully fenced yard. Furniture and beds are a-okay. Experienced with administering meds. I am an artist and at home full time. My own companion recently passed so there are currently no other pets in the home. I have plenty of time to play and snuggle and can’t wait to meet your fur baby! My yard is fully fenced with plenty of room to toss a ball or to just get out the zoomies. There are no off-limits rooms in the home. I have a doggy door but am also happy to take them outside every two hours if they need encouragement. Feeding time is generally 8 and 5. If meds are needed their schedule will be strictly adhered to.

About: Hi, I'm Simone. Thanks for visiting my profile! I'm a photographer currently working on a project and living in Joshua Tree. I adore animals more than anything else. Lucky for me, animals seem to love me back, and I connect easily with most cats and dogs that I meet. My two kitties Bert and Ernesto were the loves of my life and I had 13 loving, goofy years with them. I miss them so much. I'm not ready to have any animals of my own, which is why I would be delighted to spend time with and care for your animal/s. In the last year of his life, one of my cats was sick and he required extensive nursing at home. I gave him daily meds including liquids and pills, and I administered fluids via subcutaneous injections for several months. I believe in maintaining a clean environment for animals so that they feel the highest level of comfort possible in their world. I know that cats need exercise, and I prioritize play if they are interested in engaging. I know how stressful it is to travel and leave animals at home. I am highly reliable and trustworthy, and your furry friends are my number one priority. I also love dogs and have walked many dogs for family and friends, however never having one as a pet, I don't prioritize dog care in my profile. I work independently as a photographer, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to structure my day around caring for animals. Whether it’s a drop-in or staying overnight, I’m able to give your cat my full attention. When caring for cats in a client’s home, I aim to maintain a clean, calm, and safe environment that keeps your cat comfortable and secure. I’m careful with doors, windows, and potential escape routes, and I always check for hiding spots to make sure everyone is accounted for. I respect your home as if it were my own, follow your care instructions closely, and make sure your cat’s routine stays consistent. I’m also happy to provide updates, photos, or notes if that helps you feel more at ease while you’re away.

About: I have taken care of puppies since before middle school, from puppies to senior dogs, I enjoy to get to know them, they can be such characters. I do work full time but mainly a closer, so I can take your puppy out for a walk in the mornings, and I can board them with me Thursdays and Fridays. I can also do a quick check in for them in case youre not home, and need someone to make sure they are okay. I have a fenced yard with barb wire, so no issue with anyone or anything coming in. I have a complete room designated for your puppies stay. It has A/C their own couch, fridge and amenities. The yard is big enough to enjoy a good run, and potty breaks!.

“Destiny was absolutely Amazing. She sent me pics of my dog throughout the day. I have found a dog sitter I trust. Thank you Destiny for loving and caring for my fur baby.❤️”

“We absolutely loved how Yariliz cared for our girl, she sent us pictures and videos frequently and kept us updated on how she’s doing. My dog is normally very shy but warmed up to her pretty fast and learned some new things while staying there. Definitely 100% recommend her as she’s great and will absolutely have her watch our girl again!”



About: Hello, my name is Seana, my experience comes from having grown up with pets of many kinds, both my own and others. I can feed, bathe, clean up after, walk and play with your dog. There may be times where I may need to bring another dog with me, so if you could please let me know how your dog is with others, then I can arrange accordingly. To contact me I would appreciate a phone call to arrange a meet up. Thank you for your time and I hope to hear from you and your pet soon. I am currently job hunting, so I am always home with plenty of time to care for your beloved pets. I only ask to arrange a meet and greet before a service is booked. I live in a house on 5 acres of unfenced land. I do have a cat of my own so overnights will have to be at my home, otherwise I am flexible.

Can’t recommend her enough – Ishkiit’s already looking forward to round two!”

Seana S.
“I've known Seana years before I got my puppy, and I know she is kind and caring to dogs and cats alike. When I needed a dog-sitter for my puppy Delilah, Seana immediately offered to watch her while I had to go to college. She kept Delilah well fed, took her on walks, and occasionally took her to the dog park to socialize. Delilah absolutely adores her and is always excited to see her again. I would recommend Seana to anyone who needs a dog-sitter.”
