House Sitting in Desert Heights

“We were so grateful to have Chantelle stay with our dogs, even if for just a night. She was responsive and communicative throughout the stay (and before and after). And we hope she’ll be available again!!!”

Trevor N.

“Byanka is a fantastic sitter! Offered to meet Winnie beforehand as he is skeptical of strangers. Communicative and prompt. Will definitely reach out to Byanka again for sitting.”

“If you came over per my late request, please send it to me. I was driving all day until four, so I had very little time to talk on the phone. FYI, I saw oil in the driveway. I thought it was mine at first, but I would get yours checked if you can. Your car could be experiencing an oil/ATF leak. Have a great Holiday, and may you get a lot of gifts! I am sure I'll be contacting you soon.”

“Juliann was great! She kept my house in perfect shape and took such thoughtful care of my little rascal of a cat as well as allthe outdoor critters I feed. I came home to a happy pet and everything just as I left it. I felt totally at ease knowing she was here. Highly recommend!”

“I would give this amazing duo a ZILLION stars if I could. Communication is top notch, including funny stories about the pup's adventures (which included trips to the park & multiple walks per day). I received updates throughout the day all included pictures of happy dogs. Although, Rejoice & Francis board at their home, we elected for them to stay in our home at San Mateo. They were super respectful of our home and left the house clean, including clean sheets and folded laundry (THANK YOU!). We will definitely use these two again, we think the dogs had more fun with them than us! If they could talk, they would be asking for Rejoice and Francis to come back as soon as possible.”

“BReN was amazing! Our puppy is 8 months old and skiddish of new people. She came in and immediately knew how to handle the situation and soon our pup was laying on her lap! We felt very comfortable leaving her for the day, knowing that she would be well taken care of. We would hire her again in a jiffy!”

About: Currently servicing Twentynine palms, Joshua Tree, Yucca Valley. Since I was a child I have been a lover of all animals and was always caring for and rescuing anything that needed help. With that I bring 30+ years of on-hand pet care experience, including 8 years of experience as a veterinary surgical asst. for an orthopedic surgeon, that included working in our connected emergency center. Some of my own dogs have been rescues from neglectful/abusive situations. So, I understand the time, patience and care it takes to build trust with all animals. Currently, I also have a parrot and previously raised 2 bearded dragons, amongst many other animals. I just recently moved to the area and am looking to turn my love of animals into a way to help others have peace of mind about their pets while they are at work or enjoying their free time. What sets me apart from others are both my personal and professional experiences caring for pets, with everything from dogs and cats to reptiles. These experiences have taught me to be calm, gentle and attentive in all situations and given the knowledge and comfort to work with a wide variety of animals from young pets to seniors. This includes the administration of various types and forms of medication, syringe feeding and grooming. If you are searching for someone to care for a pet that is not a cat or dog, please reach out so we can determine if I could be a great fit for your exotic pets or otherwise as well. Friends and family have entrusted me with their pets for as long as I can remember and I always give them the love and care that I would give my own pets because it’s very important to me that all animals feel safe and loved. I do have a larger SUV that can be used to take your fur baby to the vet should the need arise. I offer basic pet grooming services in your home which would include; bathing, drying, brushing, ear cleaning, nail trims (just ask and we can discuss details- I have this listed at $40 as a general price but this could adjust up or down based on size of pet and extent of services). I do free meet and greets prior to taking on new pets so we can make sure everyone involved is comfortable and it’s a great fit for all prior to your pets first time alone with me. As a loving pet mom myself, I know how hard it is to find trustworthy people to leave your pets with. I can assure you I would love and care for your pets like they were my own family, so I hope you pick me as your pets new care buddy :) I look forward to meeting you and your little 4 legged babies!! I am new to the area and currently not working, so this allows my schedule to be very open and flexible for all of your pet care needs. I’m open Monday through Friday from early morning to evening and some Sat/Sun based on dates. We will work together to discuss any and all specific needs your pets may have and any other preferences for care. This will include feeding schedules, any special needs or behavior quirks I need to be aware of, etc. As a cautious pet parent myself, you can rest assured I will never feed your pet anything they shouldn’t have and will always ensure house rules are followed. Currently, I offer house sitting but this does not include overnight stays at the moment. However, I can be available if necessary to stay all day with your pet if they need more than a drop in (for example, special needs or senior pets that need more full time care while you’re at work all day, frequent meds, potty breaks every hour, etc) Just ask and we can discuss details! I love being outside so I can provide all the walks and outdoor play time needed. I of course will provide photo updates of our time together along with any other needed updates upon my arrival and departure. My little 14 lb chihuahua mix loves making new friends, so if your dog is friendly with other dogs and wants a companion on walks or otherwise, we can discuss my little guy tagging along if that’s something you would want.

“My furr babies (rescues) loved Carrie right away. I was able to go on a last minute trip with my friends. I really appreciated the pictures and the overall communication. So glad we were able to meet and that we are close to each other!”

About: I have so much love and patience for all kinds of animals. I grew up with 8 Saint Bernards. Had birds as well and an Appaloosa horse. I currently live in a home with 4 cats ( one of them is my own baby), 5 birds and a snake. I am comfortable with any type of animal. I am a caregiver through IHSS with Aging and Adult Services. I care for people who need extra help. I am wanting to do farm work as well. Would love to get hands on experience and learn the ways to care for farm animals. Even though I am a caregiver I will make time for your furbaby. What ever it may be I will accommodate your needs. Your baby is and will be in safe hands. I will be caring for them in your home. Whether its a daily check up or overnight. First thing is that I will not let your baby out where they are not allowed to go. I do feeding schedules and also make sure there is time for play and cuddle moments. I also am very comfortable administrating medicine.

About: I have had animals all my life since I was a baby. I’ve worked at an animal shelter so I have experience in working with animals. I adore meeting new animals. I am currently going to college and looking for a way to earn some money. I always make time for my babies. I try to give them a walk everyday. I have experience with walking all kinds of dogs from my job and volunteer work I have done for a shelter. I have a portable water dish and treat bag for walks.

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.

About: I have a wide variety of experience. Fostering shelter animals, caring for day old baby kittens. I've had ferrets and most everything else. Except I'm not fond of snakes. Anything furry please. I'm currently working part-time. Generally in the evenings. I can come by for care anytime before 3pm and be back around if needed by 10pm most nights I have great respect for other people's area. I am considerate, clean and honor privacy. I will leave the area better then when I arrived.

“Kaya is great! She was very responsive before and during the booking, and was very caring towards Theo. I’d definitely recommend Kaya if you need a sitter in the area!”

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😊.

About: I had a wonderful Husky growing up, He was always bursting with energy and personality, eager to run, explore, and snuggle up next to me whenever the day ended. Having him around taught me responsibility, patience, and just how strong the bond between a person and a dog can be. After high school, I adopted a Rottweiler of my own. Raising him from a young age helped me understand training, structure, and daily care better. Soon after, my mom needed some help with her cat, so I welcomed him into my home. For a while, I had both a dog and a cat living together—learning to balance their different personalities, needs, and routines. Later, when my husband and I moved into our own place, we added another furry family member—a sweet Corgi who joined us about two years later. Each pet has brought something special into my life and has helped me grow as a caregiver. I’ve gained hands-on experience with both dogs and cats—from energetic working breeds to loyal guardians and independent, affectionate cats. Caring for them isn’t just about feeding and walks—it’s about building trust, comfort, and a little friendship along the way. Pet sitting fits naturally into my routine since I work part-time with very flexible hours. I’m able to plan my schedule around visits, walks, and check-ins, whether they’re early mornings, midday, or evenings. Because I manage my own time, I can give pets consistent attention, unrushed care, and plenty of love throughout the week. I care for pets in my home and yours with the same level of love, patience, and attention I give my own. In my home, I create a calm, safe, and cozy environment where they can relax, play, and feel like part of the family. I adhere strictly to their regular routines—feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and bedtime habits—to ensure their security and comfort. In your home, I respect their space and maintain their familiar routine to minimize stress. I move at their pace, especially with shy or anxious pets, building trust through gentle interactions, consistency, and positive reinforcement. Whether it’s energetic playtime or quiet cuddles, I prioritize making each pet feel safe, understood, and truly cared for.

“Emily was great with our nervous dog! She came over for a meet and greet and was very comfortable. She sent great update photos and our pup warmed up to her right away. We’ll definitely use her again! Thanks Emily!”

“Layla was great and we would definitely book her again. She was great with the dogs and did a great job taking care of Rocky even with the extra care and medicine he needed. She left the house just as we left it and was great at providing updates and pictures throughout the week.”

“Ismara and her Partner were amazing. Our Danes loved them, they were super friendly, communicative, and would highly recommend them to anyone need their dogs watched!”
