Pet Sitting in Desert Hot Springs

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.

About: I’ve been taking care of grand-dogs and grand-cats, neighbors pets, friends pets and my own on three continents over many years. From walks on the beach to hanging out on the couch watching otter tv, I love spending time with my favorite canines and felines. I am currently available for pet visits on Wednesday through Sunday. I can visit, play or walk with your pet between 10 am and 4 pm. I am happy to look after your pet in your home, providing play time, feeding, outside time or other activities to help keep your pet safe, happy and healthy.

“This was our first time leaving our puppy for an extended period of time. When we met Alyssa we felt at ease immediately. Our dog is an 11 month Golden Doodle and very active! He was attended to by both Alyssa and Bonnie, and I can tell he thoroughly enjoyed them both! I cannot recommend Alyssa highly enough. We look forward to seeing them both again at our next opportunity. Thank you Alyssa!”

About: Hi! I'm a lifelong animal lover with years of experience taking care of dogs, cats and horses. I provide lots of quiet snuggle sessions in a home environment with attentive, loving care for each pet's needs. I treat every furry friend like family and offer a calm, safe and reliable environment. Looking forward to meeting your pet and giving them the care they deserve. I mostly work from home with occasional short meetings outside. Your pet will have access to lots of personal attention and company day and night. There are lots of dog beds throughout the house. I have a fenced yard and 3 small friendly dogs and 1 cat to keep your pet company. I can easily crate your dog if needed.

About: I've grown up with dogs, taking care of them regularly. Living in the desert has equipped me with the skills to care for animals in a harsh climate such as constantly providing water, scheduling walks out of the heat, and watching out for wildlife. I also volunteered at an animal shelter while I was in high school where I learned more about the needs of various animals, learning that each have their own personality! I'm currently home for the summer from college, so my hours are very flexible. I am available weekdays and weekends to help with feeding, walking, and just hanging out with your pets! I can easily commute to your home to care for your pet. I'm here to adapt to their needs and ensure that they are happy and healthy!

“Elaine was able to visit my cats at our home. Everything was coordinated and planned, the process was straight forward. Like the past appointment with Elaine she was wonderful to work with and I hope to use her services again in the future when traveling.”

About: I can’t remember when I haven’t been around dogs. Pets are like the companions and will always be apart of my family no matter how old they get. I work full time. I would always find time to take care of a pet no matter the type, as long as they like me. My yard is fenced in. I have a privacy fence so other dogs can’t see them. My dogs are mainly people lovers so my dogs would be separated majority of the time.

About: I bring over 22 years of hands-on pet care experience, including 12 years as a veterinary technician, which gives me a strong foundation in animal health, behavior, and safety. What sets me apart from other sitters is my ability to not only provide loving companionship, but also recognize and respond to the unique needs of each dog, whether it’s a playful puppy, a senior in need of extra patience, or a pet requiring medication or special care. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me for years to care for their pets as if they were my own, and I take pride in creating a safe, comfortable, and stress-free environment. My goal is always to make your dog feel at home, while giving you peace of mind knowing they’re in capable and caring hands. I’m self-employed and homeschool my kids, so I’m home throughout the day with plenty of time to give your pup attention, love, and playtime. Pet care fits seamlessly into our daily routine, and I’m available for boarding on weekdays and weekends. We’re a loving, pet-friendly household! My husband is a retired veteran, and together with our kids and two friendly dogs, your pet will always get affection and care. I have a fenced yard for safe play, can crate your dog if needed, and only accept pets that are good with children so everyone feels comfortable. Your dog will truly feel like part of our family while they stay with us.

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.

“James was great with our two cats! He followed my instructions for feeding, watering, and cleaning the cat litter. He also brought in our Amazon packages inside.”

About: I grew up on a farm with all types of animals and I love taking care of them. Ive had dogs and cats all my life. I currently have two chihuahs, a German Shepard, and two cats. They are all friendly and used to other dogs and cats. I have experience taking care or kittens, cats, puppies, small dogs, and large dogs. I will walk them several times a day and play with them.

They can also come inside the house since my pets are allowed anywhere in the house that I am. I have reliable transportation if housesitting is needed and I am available all the time.

About: Hi, I’m new-ish to Rover and I’m so excited to have the chance to be a care sitter for your furry boy/girl! I’ve been raised around dogs from a variety of breeds since I was 10 years old when I got my very first dog, a miniature Schnauzer named Tank. My dad made it very clear that if I wanted a dog, the responsibility would be mine, and so from that age I learned how to care for him myself—feeding, walking, cleaning up, and making sure he was happy and well cared for. Since then, caring for dogs has always been something that comes naturally to me. I understand what our furry friends need for each stage of their life and their quirky qualities🐾 I have 2 large breed working/guard dogs and raised them how to sit, stay, down, drop it, and come as far as basic commands go, if there’s anything your pet needs considering training needs I’m eager to know and learn about them 😁 Either way, I love all dogs no matter the background, my focus is that they are cared and loved as if they were at home! I’m work from home—pet care fits right in my schedule since I’m home all day and am available to walk, feed, water, and train them as needed and on my breaks! I’m adaptable and fully flexible to your pets schedule, needs, and routine. I have medium and large sized crates as well as a 1200sq ft backyard fenced off if they want to get active any time of the day! If you have any toys for your furry friends to fetch or to chew bring them along!🐾 I am also within 5 min of the dog park and love taking my dogs to stretch their legs, so walks are with purpose and reward always! Please let me know if there are any accommodations I can provide and make for your pup and I’m happy to be of service. My upmost priority is to ensure your pup is having a comfortable, relaxing stay and is nurtured all the way through.

“Thank you so much for caring for Ginny these past 2 weeks! Knowing she was going to have her time with you was such a comfort during my long work days. Your extra effort and flexibility was so helpful and much appreciated. l'll definitely be sharing your contact with friends when they work in the valley. You're the best!”

“Faith made our time away from our pups worry free. Great photos of her visits. She also gave very detailed accounts of the visits. Would highly recommend Faith.”

About: Anytime, anywhere I’ll be there! I am passionate about animals and would love to take care of your fur babies while you’re away. I am willing to send photos, updates and FaceTime whenever necessary. I am knowledgeable in medication handling, feeding routines and nature walks. I’ve trained several breeds in my lifetime. (Non-licensed but great at it none the less) I am currently retired and have open availability. I am willing to travel. I have a 2020 Elantra. I live in Desert Hot Springs. Thank you I am a part of a community that has a dog park. My home pet friendly. I have a fur baby of my own and my sister has a fur baby of her own as well. Very other pet friendly.

About: I have four years experience in caring for pets in peoples homes. There are two of us both big pet lovers. My husband works from home full time and I work a three day work week. We have a fenced back yard with doggy door. No pool. Dogs are allowed to be with us whether it be on the couch or sleeping at night. We live in a community so great place for taking walks. We will work with what ever your feeding choices are. We feed ours the raw diet so have experience with it. Let your fur baby come and be pampered, play, and have a great time on their vacation. I am also the owner of Barkington Bistro a healthy alternative to dog treats.

About: NOTICE AVAILABILITY HAS CHANGED (Fully available on Thursdays and Fridays, Saturday-Wednesday only available after 2pm due to work schedule. Apologies for the inconveniences) I’m still quite new to this but I have a few munchkins of my own to know how to handle them. I’ve done some pet sitting when I was younger and found it to be a lot of fun. I want to be more active so walking your pets is perfect for us both! I’ve lived with animals my whole life so I have so much compassion for them. I have a lot of patience and love for them all. I would love for you to have trust in me to do my best for your pet. I know I have little experience but a lifetime of caring for animals; big and small. I am currently a part time server so my schedule is always changing, I mostly work nights most days. The days i’m off and available I’ll be able to be around as many hours as needed. Weekends are unsure depending on my schedule, if anything I’d be available in the mornings and late nights. I unfortunately can’t board any pets at my home. My own pets are all inside pet’s except my dogs of course, my dogs have a fenced in backyard and go on daily walks themselves. My pups are 4 years old but aren’t fully socialized to other dogs so I wouldn’t feel 100% safe to board pets at the moment. I also have cats, they are my personal favorite, all whom I’ve had for many years. What can I say i’m a animal person. I have a few exotic pets; a snake and two geckos who stay in cages!

“Briana is wonderful with my fur babies! She’s always caring and thoughtful. It’s easy to see from the photos that they love spending time with her! I would highly recommend her!”

Morgen H.

“I highly recommend Jon. He's very responsive to communication and good with my pets. He's responsible and showed up when he said he would. I'm so glad he was available both times we've needed a dog watcher. We very much appreciate him!!”
