About: I have been a pet lover and pet owner my whole life! People have peace of mind leaving their 4 legged family members in my care. Knowing they will get great care and lots of love. I’m retired, so I have a very open schedule to spend time taking care of your pets while you enjoy some me time. Would love to be their part time caregiver. I love going walking with active dogs. But can also be just at home as a couch potato with your chill pets. I’m very detail oriented, so the more info on schedules and likes and dislikes, would be greatly appreciated!

About: My hours are 8 am to 6 pm. If you really care for your pet, give them the BEST. I am not a boarding kennel. I take only SEVERAL PETS at any given time so that they can receive my FULL PERSONAL ATTENTION. I WORK FROM HOME SO AM ALWAYS AVAILABLE. If this is the type of attention you feel your special pets deserve, call me. Leaving the area for a vacation or visiting beautiful Palm Springs, why not let your favorite pet enjoy a little rest and relaxation in the desert? Your loving friend will receive VIP care and attention 24/7 in my beautifully landscaped yard enclosed by an 8 foot brick wall. They will have access to two separate yards through two doggy doors. Space is limited so that your dog receives personal attention. Any special feeding habits, veterinarian contacts and vaccinations are requested. I look forward to talking and meeting with both you and your pets. If possible, a "Meet and Greet would be recommended to acclimate your pets to my environment, helping them to better adjust to something new in their schedule. I am currently working at home so have plenty of time and attention to play with your fur babies, I am available for boarding seven days a week. I have a high brick walled yard and two friendly, mellow Greyhounds to keep your pet company. I can always crate your dog if needed.

About: I've cared for dogs and cats of all ages and sizes since I was young. Friends, family, and neighbors trust me for walking, feeding, and day care. I have experience with puppies, senior pets, and administering medications, and I always treat every animal like my own. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine—I plan my part-time schedule around walks, drop-ins, and sitting so pets get the attention they deserve. I'm available most mornings, and on Mondays and Tuesdays I can offer full-day care. Whether it's a quick walk or a full day of sitting, I’m committed to making pets feel safe and loved. In my client’s home, I make sure pets feel safe and comfortable by sticking to their usual routines. I follow all care instructions closely—whether it’s feeding, walking, playtime, or administering medication. I keep the space clean and always give pets lots of love and attention so they feel relaxed while you're away.

I do not have children or any pets of my own-this way I am be able to maintain a stress free environment for your pet to avoid any anxiety or nervousness around children or new animals.

I want to ensure a stress free experience for all. 🐾 I will always be around to supervise the animals while they are in my home! I offer a happy and calming experience for your pet in which they will enjoy lots of attention and cuddles/playtime from me or naps and comfort time and relaxing music should they desire. I’ve taken care of a number pets throughout my life. I grew up with small terriers and had fish too. Friends animals were always like my own. I adopted my beloved cat Calvin when I was 21 and this past December, 11 years later, he passed away leaving a hole in my heart. He had many health problems such as asthma and IBS, for which he was on several daily medications. This taught me to administer oral medication in pill pockets and use an inhaler attachment for him. I miss being around animals in general now that he’s been gone. I am looking so much forward to being able to provide boarding in my lakeside home. I am available consistently at the moment as I run a part time home business. 24 hour consistent time with your pet is ensured. If they wish they can also sleep in my bedroom/bed. The fenced yard is big enough to run around supervised and also has tiered retaining walls. I live with my husband only. I also have a separate area for a cat(s) and a walk in closet style litter box “room”. I have plenty of toys, treats and catnip.

About: My first dog lived 21 years, and I cared for him from puppy stage to his passing. We have 3 dogs in our home now. They are all very different but special and unique. I love finding the things that bring them joy and providing those experiences for them regularly. I also do energy healing for them regularly to keep them healthy and happy. I have my own business as an energy healer, so my schedule can be very flexible. Advance notice means I can schedule my other clients around your and your pets' needs. I have a large fenced yard with a medium-sized dog door. If I am in your home, I am diligent about ensuring that doors and gates are closed at all times so there is no chance of escape.

About: Hi! I’ve spent the last four years caring for and maintaining the training of a service dog. I’m experienced with feeding, walking, grooming, and reinforcing positive behaviors. I treat every dog with patience, love, and respect, and I’m excited to care for yours like my own! I’m currently in school, but I have plenty of free time throughout the week to dedicate to pet care. I enjoy having dogs as part of my routine—whether it’s walking, playtime, or just keeping them company I follow their usual routines closely, including feeding, walks, playtime, and any special instructions. I’m gentle, attentive, and always keep their well-being my top priority.

“Very professional dog walker who obviously loves dogs. We really appreciate the wonderful pictures of our dogs having fun. We highly recommend her.”

About: Hello, my name is Cynthia. I’m a big animal lover and hope I can give your furbaby the attention they need! I’ve cared for animals nearly all my life and can’t wait to help you. I can provide frequent potty breaks, and tend to senior and or disabled pets as well. I work from home Monday through Friday and for the most part stay home on the weekends as well. I take my dogs for 2 or more walks per day, for about a mile each time for them to get some fresh air through out the day. I have two fur babies of my own who are very sociable and friendly. If your puppy needs to be crated I can definitely accommodate that, as well as provide stimulating exercises for them with lick mats, treat puzzles, and basic obedience.

I look forward to meeting you and your furry companion! For many, pets are cherished members of the family, and their care seamlessly integrates into daily life. For me, this sentiment holds even truer. Here's how pet care fits into my routine: Morning Rituals: Just as I begin my day with a cup of coffee or a morning stretch, tending to my fur babies is a non-negotiable start. Whether it's feeding them, taking them for their first walk of the day, or simply spending quality time together, my mornings revolve around their needs. Work-life Balance: During work breaks, I often find myself playing with my pets or engaging in short training sessions. These moments not only provide them with mental and physical stimulation but also allow me to destress and refocus. Exercise and Play: My evening routines include longer walks, play sessions, and sometimes even visits to the local dog park. These activities are not only beneficial for my pets' well-being but also ensure I stay active and connected to the pet community. Dinner Time: Just as I prepare meals for myself, I also ensure that my fur babies receive nutritious and well-balanced meals tailored to their needs. Sharing meal times solidifies the bond we share and emphasizes the parallel lives we lead. Continuous Learning: I constantly educate myself on pet care, new training techniques, and health tips. Being a responsible pet parent means staying updated on the best ways to ensure their overall well-being. Night-time Cuddles: My day concludes with bedtime snuggles and ensuring they're comfortable for the night. This quiet bonding time is a gentle reminder of the unconditional love and trust we share. In essence, my life is interwoven with the care of my fur babies. They're not just an added responsibility; they're a part of my daily existence, bringing joy, purpose, and unconditional love. So, when I say I understand the significance of pet care, it comes from a place of deep personal experience and genuine affection. Caring for pets varies based on the location, whether it's in my own home or a client's residence. Here's a breakdown of how I approach pet care in each setting: In My Home: Introduction: If I'm hosting pets in my home, it's essential to introduce them to my own pets (if any) in a controlled manner. This usually involves neutral territory introductions and close supervision until I'm certain they can coexist peacefully. Safe Spaces: I ensure that each pet has its own comfortable space, equipped with their bed, toys, and feeding bowls. This helps reduce stress, especially during the initial adjustment period. Routine: I aim to maintain the pet's regular schedule. From feeding times to walk durations, sticking to their routine helps in a smoother transition. Exercise and Play: A well-exercised pet is a happy pet. I provide adequate playtime, ensuring they are mentally and physically stimulated. This includes walks, play sessions, and even basic training exercises. Diet: I strictly adhere to the diet and feeding instructions provided by the pet owner. If a pet has specific dietary needs or restrictions, they are always respected. Safety: I make sure all potential hazards, such as toxic plants or accessible trash bins, are out of reach. I also ensure that my home is escape-proof with secure fences and locked doors. In the Client's Home: Familiarity: Pets tend to feel most comfortable in their own environment. By caring for them in their own home, I eliminate the stress of adapting to a new place. Home Inspection: On the first visit, I usually do a quick walkthrough to identify where all the essentials are, such as food, toys, leashes, and cleaning supplies. Routine: Maintaining the pet's regular routine is even easier in their own home. I follow their regular feeding, play, and walk schedules as instructed by the owner. Cleanliness: After feeding or play sessions, I make sure to clean up any messes, ensuring the house remains tidy. Security: Before leaving the client's house, I double-check all doors, windows, and gates to ensure the pet is safe and secure. Updates: Depending on the client's preference, I often send daily updates with pictures or videos. This keeps the pet owner informed and reassured about their pet's well-being. Regardless of the setting, the pet's health, safety, and happiness are always my top priorities. I aim to provide a nurturing environment, respecting the trust both the pet and their owner place in me.
