House Sitting in Desert Hot Springs

“Elaine was stellar to work with. She is upbeat, communicative, and handless my little one very well. I just relocated to the desert, and my dog has recently been through a lot of changes. Elaine was able to take care of my dog who has separation anxiety issues just great. I’ve worked with other Rover’s in LA who often stressed out at my dogs behavior, and Elaine really met the challenge in a professional and caring way. I would absolutely suggest hiring Elaine and plan to do so again in the future.”

“Nina was absolutely amazing. She so attentive, communicative, and makes sure your pup has a good time with her. I will definitely use her again when I’m in the area.”

“Ashurina was communicative, flexible, sent lots of pics of our doggies and, most importantly, took excellent care of our two schnauzers. We would highly recommend her services.”

“Desiree did an amazing job looking after our little guy. She met with us prior to watching him in our home and eased his nerves. We look forward to working with Desiree again.”

“Tony was an absolute lifesaver! During our visit to Palm Springs for Pride weekend, we initially booked him for an in-home sitting with about an hour's notice for our 1-year-old Bedlington Terrier, Oliver. When our plans changed last minute, Tony didn’t miss a beat—he offered to pick up Oliver himself. We decided to have him come to our hotel instead, and with just 30 minutes’ notice, he arrived promptly and stayed with Oliver from 10 PM to 3:30 AM. Oliver had a fantastic time with him, and throughout the night, Tony sent us tons of pictures and updates, which really put our minds at ease. We couldn't have asked for a better sitter. We'll definitely hire him again when we're in town!”

“Chris was an amazing dog sitter and house-sitter. He took great care of my very old husky. He took her on walks, gave her medications, and kept her company for a week while I traveled. He also took great care of my home, leaving it cleaner than when I left! You will be very lucky if Chris takes care of your pets and house. He’s a great communicator and a wonderful animal caretaker. Thank you, Chris!”

“Judy is a wonderful sitter. She took great care of Cuddles while we were out of town for six nights. I felt very comfortable leaving our dog Cuddles for such a long time with her. Judy checked in with me every day and let me know how Cuddles was doing. I am sure you will appreciate Judy's capable dog sitting skills! I am sure to use her services again.”

“Kevin took great care of our two senior pups. They were so happy to see him again. They went on fun walks and played a lot and the dogs were very content when we returned home.”

“I can't say enough about Caroline! With her patience and kind demeanor, she was able to befriend our Francesca, who can be aggressive. We had her spend a couple of days with her while we went to the Bay Area, and by the end of their time, Fran was sitting in her lap! 5⭐️”

“Darin was a great choice for us, our dog was happy to have him and we’re glad to give him a referral, we got updates, pics and Beau got play with his girl friend done the street. We never used a dog sitter before and I know that we can leave him when needed because the bond Darin made with our dog and neighbors. Thank you”

“Silvana is great! Took great care of our little puppy, and kept us updated everything including photos and videos. We will definitely continue working with her.”

About: At Dream Ranch the style of Dog/Cat Boarding is designed to provide your pet with a totally “enriched” boarding experience, which I accomplish by giving pets the things they need most: behavioral choices, exercise, socialization, and the absence of stress. Dogs/Cats prefer real homes and outdoor play yards over kennels or warehouses. By their very nature, they require socialization with other dogs/cats and with people, not solitary confinement. I am experienced and I segregate the dogs/cats according to size and temperament, and monitor each pack so that all dogs/cats are in a stress-free environment. I play, run, fetch, nap, cuddle, bark and talk during the day (including our fantastic water play yard), and they sleep slumber-party-style in our home with a bunch of new friends at night. And they are never locked up or left alone…that’s right, there are no cages here. (Unless you tell me otherwise, &/or your pet's daily routine involves crate/kennel training already) Sometimes life doesn’t allow for pet's. Fortunately for you, Dream Ranch always does! When you need a second home, book a stay for your pet(s) at Dream Ranch!! There’s No Place Like Home… And There’s No Place Like Dream Ranch For Your pet's When You’re Away! 24/7 hours a day, 365 days a year!

“My gosh what a wonderful young lady she took the most beautiful care of my animals and my home. Erika is a wonderful selection as a house sitter. I will absolutely hire her again.”

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.

“Tyler was amazing. Extremely communicative, but a good balance of not being overbearing. Asked the important questions, including idiosyncrasies about the dogs, and was able to send photos and updates throughout the trip. He truly bonded with them instead of treating it like just a job. We will use him again !”

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 schedule, I can easily build my day around your pet’s needs. Whether it’s morning walks, midday check-ins, or cozy overnight hangs, I’ve got the flexibility (and the snack stash) to make sure your furry one gets consistent care and attention. Whether I’m in your home or mine, your pet’s comfort and safety come first. I keep a calm, clean environment, follow routines closely, and pay attention to the little things—like where they like to nap or how they like their treats. I’m big on clear communication, lots of updates, and creating a space that feels safe, familiar, and full of love (and maybe a squeaky toy or two).

“Xylon is an awesome person to help with your pets. He has helped me watch, take on walks and kept my dog Smokey over night. Smokey has medical issues and Xylon was willing to pay attention to signs, comfort and love my dog every time. He is reliable and will care for your animals as his own.”

“Our older dog has become confused and anxious when we leave the house. Todd came to the rescue when we needed a night out. Will definitely be calling him again.”

“Briana house sat and took care of our pup for a few days, including walking, feeding, and potty breaks. She is caring, attentive, and took great care of our dog.”

“It's so difficult when you have a new pup in the house: the dog is still getting used to new surroundings and can easily become fearful when the new "hooman" is away for longer than usual. Matthew stepped in for me and Buddy felt immediately comfortable with him. I returned to no separation issues at all. Matthew went above and beyond while I was away. He is very calm and that rubbed off on Buddy. My Buddy just LOVES Matthew!”
