Dog Walking Desert Hot Springs

“James is phenomenal. Calm, caring, extremely trustworthy and reliable. I can’t say enough good things. He even took the time for a pre-visit to come and meet us and get the lay of the land prior to our trip. Really grateful for James!”

“I had a wonderful experience with Molly and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for reliable, compassionate care. She was professional, communicative, and clearly has a genuine love for animals. I always felt confident that my pet was in great hands, and I appreciated the updates and photos that gave me peace of mind while I was away. Chewbacca was happy, well cared for, and excited to see her each visit, which says a lot. She was dependable, attentive to my pet's needs, and went above and beyond to make sure everything was taken care of. I’m grateful for the excellent care and will definitely be booking with Molly again!”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities for over 6 years. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to feed, walk, play with, and check in on their pets while they’re away. I’m patient, responsible, and love making pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I also have experience with energetic dogs and keeping pets on their regular routines. I have a flexible schedule and make pet care a priority in my daily routine. I’m available for check-ins, walks, feeding, playtime, and overnight care depending on your pet’s needs. I always make sure pets get plenty of attention, exercise, and care while their owners are away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I carefully follow feeding schedules, medication instructions, and any routines your pet is used to. I make sure pets feel safe, loved, and stress-free in their own environment while keeping owners updated with messages and photos.

“This was our first time using Rover, and therefore our first time having Jon walk our dog. We asked Jon to come by each day at 7, as it gets pretty hot here in the desert quite early in the morning. Sammi is used to hour long walks as well. We can say Jon did not disappoint! He was at our house every morning at 7 on the nose and gave our Sammi a full hour walk each day. They walked a mile plus on each journey and Sammi looked forward to seeing him every day. Could not have asked for a better experience!”

“Ashurina was fantastic! She was able to walk my dog at the last minute when we were stuck in unexpected traffic. She went above and beyond and made sure he had everything he need. Great communication too.”

About: Hello! Don't let my profile location deter you from reaching out, I have a very wide service area. I am available to care for all of your pets while you're away! Please contact me for a quote if you have a pet you'd like me to care for other than a dog or cat (submit it as a dog/cat request) ☺️ New to Rover? I have a discount code for you if you book your first service with me! I am available for night and evening drop-ins to feed and play with your pets. Do you work nights and hate leaving your babies alone? Are you going to a fancy dinner and want to make sure your pets are okay when you're gone? I can come by and give you some peace of mind. I can also care for other pets, including lizards, fish, hamsters, rabbits, etc. I am a huge animal lover. I adopted a senior dog years ago and he was the best dog ever, up until his very last day in December, 2023. Our household has water snails, fish, three cats, a dog, and a pig! I have experience with rabbits and hamsters and other small pets, and I have experience with special needs animals. My longest boarding to date was 5 months for a senior cat with Cerebellar hypoplasia. My schedule recently changed, so I am available on most days for drop-ins and walks. I also offer boarding, house sitting, and daycare. We are a very animal friendly household. I have a fenced yard and a kiddie pool so your doggos can play and keep cool! My piggy will be there to keep your baby company and I have a 14 year old kid who loves to snuggle and play with all your pets! Cats will enjoy their own space so they can feel comfortable ☺️ !!!Important Notes!!!: I love watching and caring for your snuggle bug(s)! However, I have to sleep too. If you can't pick up your pet before 7pm, one additional day of boarding or doggy daycare will be added to your booking. An additional fee will be added for dogs over 40 pounds. Dogs under 1 year and/or "bully breeds" will be accepted on a case-by-case basis. By booking with me, you acknowledge that if your puppo damages property, you are responsible for any cost of repairs or replacement. When damage occurs, it is usually caused by pets that do not crate or have high anxiety when left alone for even short periods. My policy on dog breeds and sizes is in place because of two separate incidents. First, I lost a beloved pet to a boarded Rover doggo on Christmas morning, 2020. Having to put my little pig Minnie in the freezer after being attacked on Christmas morning was a horribly traumatic experience. In June 2023 I was attacked by a 110lb Rover dog at a meet and greet and had to go to the hospital. If the owner had not been present, I would have been killed. These are incidents that I will not risk repeating. Thank you so much for understanding!

About: Joe and I have had dogs (Dalmation) and cats (Ocicats, Siamese) for as long as we've known each other. They become part of the family. We both work from home so your loved ones will get maximum attention, care and love. We look forward to providing the best possible care for your "family" member. We can give shots and medications where necessary. We are at home workers so your pet will have the needed attention all day and night. Alan used to show Dalmations and also showed Ocicats. We have raised several litters of dogs and cats and pets are always in a loving environment. We keep the house pet safe and the "guests" pretty much get the run of the house. We are conveniently located in the Desert Princess gated community on the North end of town where Cathedral City and Palm Springs meet. The community has one of the best areas for walking dogs with miles of trails.

About: Hey I’m Nat! I have 2 pups of my own, a poodle mix and a Dalmatian/Great Dane :) I’ve also taken care of my friends and families pets including puppies, a kitten and some aquatic turtles and fish while they traveled!! Im self employed so i work on my own schedule from home!! Gives me lots of free time to take your pups on walks and/or care for them in my home. I have a fenced yard and both my pups are socialized/ crate trained as well as having different parts of my home closed off so I’d be able to keep your pup safe depending on their needs whether they do best without other pups or are social and wanna play.

About: As a vegan and former PETA staffer, I love and respect all animals. I also have veterinary technician, veterinary clinic, and animal shelter experience. I've rescued and cared for dogs (both large and small), cats, birds, rodents, reptiles, fish, horses and rabbits. I am completely dedicated to the safety, equality, and well-being of all animals. I work part-time as a photographer so have ample time to take care of your animal friends. And can, of course, provide you with some great photos to put your mind at ease while you're away from your fur babies! I am very active and love a good walk or hike. While I strive to always provide a fun, attention-filled experience, safety is my primary concern, so you can rest assured your animal friends will be in good hands for those times you can't be with them.

“where to begin with faith. first of all, our dogs latched on to her the moment she over—they rarely do that but they did! great sign when they prefer her over us. anyhow, very communicative, very personable, and always on-time. i needed one day for her services but after day 1, i decided to book her two more times—she’s that good with the dogs. highly recommend and i found myself a caretaker for our beasties during our stays here in the desert. thank you faith! such a gem to have found you here. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

About: I'm a seasoned dog sitter and pet parent with 15 years’ experience. I enjoy any time spent with a great dog, including walks, playing at a dog park, hitting up a doggy happy hour (my dog’s favorite activity), or cuddling at home on the couch. I was previously in Asbury Park, NJ, for 5 years hosting dogs in my own home, but I’m currently in your area, eager to make shaggy new friends. I provide lots of love and kindness while sitting, walking and playing with your pets. As a Rover veteran, I have many five-star reviews and photos on my profile, and I’m happy to answer any questions you may have. My schedule is very flexible as a full-time nomad. Reach out if you’re looking for a responsible, reliable caretaker. I’m happy to spend quality time with your pet. I do what I’m hired to do - plus I provide little extra love, pets and cuddles. We can all use a little bit more of that, yeah?

“Great with my dogs and a very good communicator. She has been a lifesaver for walking my dogs while I’m at work. Would recommend and book again!”

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover with over 10 years of hands-on experience working as a groomer’s assistant, where I helped with bathing, brushing, grooming prep, and nail trims for dogs of all sizes and temperaments. I’m comfortable handling nervous, energetic, senior, and special-needs pets, and I always focus on making them feel safe and cared for. I also have extensive experience fostering dogs for rescue organizations and helping animals in need, including rescuing pets off the streets and giving them loving homes. Caring for animals isn’t just work for me—it’s part of my everyday life. My home is full of happy pets, including three dogs, one cat, six birds, and a tortoise. I offer dependable and loving care including dog walking, drop-in visits, pet sitting, boarding, bathing, grooming support, and nail trims. I treat every pet like family and understand how important it is to know your pets are in good hands. I’d love the chance to care for your furry family members. I currently have a very open and flexible schedule, which allows me to give pets plenty of attention and care throughout the day. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, pet sitting, boarding, and last-minute bookings when needed. I can accommodate weekdays, weekends, mornings, afternoons, and evenings to fit your pet’s routine. I’m dedicated to keeping your pet safe and happy. I make sure their space is peaceful, loving, and spotless, so they can feel secure and at ease. I pay close attention to their feeding times, medicine, exercise, and any special needs they might have. I also make sure to earn their trust and treat them as if they were part of my family, whether I’m taking care of them at my place or yours.

“******Highly Recommend******* Nina was amazing with our dog. He is a bit distrustful with new people because he is a rescue but she took her time to let him get to know her. We highly recommend Nina!”
