About: I’ve taken care of all types of pets! From fish to birds to dogs, I love them all. I have experience taking care of puppies and also senior dogs, like my pup of 14 years. I’d love to make sure your pal is well taken care of! I’m currently working part time so I’ll have plenty of time for your furry friends! I’m available most days and am fully willing to work with your schedules! My home is fully fenced in front and back yard so no worries about unwanted friends. I’m comfortable with adapting to what makes your pet comfortable, may that be more quality time, enrichment, outside time, or whatever they may need.

Amberleigh came to watch my cat over the weekend, and when I got home my cat didn't scratch my eyes out, which means she was happy and well taken care of! Amberleigh sent pictures and updates and even made sure the house heater was on so my cat would be comfortable. Thank you!

About: I’ve worked with all types of pets, small and big, I 'm compassionate about animals and the unconditional love they bring to our lives. Whether it was a shi tzu to a german shepard to a lab, to a horse, I'm a true animal lover. Additionally, I took care of a friend until the end, he got Long-Term Covid in 2019 and died in Feb 2024. I also helped in my mother's care who had muscular dystrophy and my father, who had dementia. I'm a semi-retired entertainment publicist who spent the last 18 years in Los Angeles. After being a part-time resident in PALM SPRINGS since 2008, I'm now a full-time resident that truly loves the desert and no remorse from leaving LA. When I do work, I work from my home office so I'm always around. Also, if you are looking for an extended stays, please reach out to me for discount on mid-long term stays. Mainly by preference, I have my own personal preferences but whatever the Pet Parents want something specific, like no pets on the furniture or bed. Preference for using their own dog bed. I'm here to provide a service tailored to their needs.

About: I have always been raised with pets since I was 9years old. I LOVE PETS. Dogs are my favorite but cats are awesome because they are independent. I currently work from home so I am able to give proper attention to the pets. I can take as many breaks to make sure the pet is given a lot of attention. I have a fenced backyard and park next to my home. There will always be space to run free and play. Try me and you won’t be disappointed.

About: Hi hello I’ve taken care of dogs and kittens since I was in the 6th grade.I’ve been house sitting for my uncle since I was 10 and pretty familiar with dogs and cats. Pet care is an important part of my daily routine. I dedicate time each day to feeding, walking, exercising, and giving attention to pets. I make sure they have consistent care and companionship, fitting their needs around my work and personal schedule. I’m flexible and able to adjust my routine to accommodate walks, playtime, or any special instructions the owner provides. I provide attentive and personalized care for pets, whether in my home or the client’s. I ensure they receive regular meals, fresh water, exercise, and plenty of playtime and affection. I follow all instructions regarding routines, medications, and special needs to keep pets safe, comfortable, and happy. I also monitor their behavior and well-being, reporting any concerns promptly to their owner.

About: Hello 👋🏻 My name is Kaylee and I’ve been a professional pet sitter for about 5 years now. Over the course of those 5 years I’ve cared for all of the following animals: dogs, cats, birds, fish, snakes, turtles, lizards, hamsters, rabbits and horses. I’m in college getting an animal science degree and I’ve worked with a wide age range of animals. From puppies all the way to senior dogs and kittens all the way to elderly cats. *please know that while my listed prices are accurate I will add on an additional surcharge if the job is very far away from me (to cover gas cost), the dog is not potty trained, and/of if any dog sitting job dog requires constant care.* I work part time from 9am - 4pm, Monday - Friday. But I am free before and after work hours. Additionally, my job is somewhat seasonal in nature, so we get large portions of the year (in winter, summer, and a few others) off from work. So I would be available with no restrictions for pet sitting opportunities. Feel free to reach out with inquiries for when these seasonal breaks occur. My childhood dog escaped once as kid, and even thought he was quickly found, it made me realize the horror of potentially losing a pet. As a result, I take pet safety very seriously. I will not walk a dog without a leash. I always double and triple check that doors are closed/locked (when appropriate). I haven’t had a pet escape or get lost on my watch yet, and I don’t plan to start now.

About: I am mainly looking to walk dogs but I am also open to dog sitting as well. I owned a Shar-pei Husky mix for 8 years (passed) and I now own a 11 year old German Shepherd. I’ve had experience with dogs all sizes and breeds and I have had zero negative experiences with dogs. I am 30 years old and workout 5 times a week so I can meet the physical demands of walking and playing with your dog. Because of my current profession and work schedule my hours are very flexible and i can accommodate to any needs that you will have. Spending time with dogs are my favorite thing so I can assure you your dog will be in good hands. Due to my profession I have ample free time and flexibility to walk and care for my dog. I love to walk early mornings when it’s not super hot but also walk in the afternoons as well. I always care for any dog as if they were my own. We often consider our pets our children/family so I give them the same care as anyone else.

If you have a complicated household that involves many instructions, Shayna can handle it! Shayna took care of my two dogs for 3 days. Now, these dogs are spoiled and old, so they have a routine – and on top of it all, need to go out frequently for breaks. Fortunately Shayna lives only a couple of miles away and was able to let these two little dogs keep their routine. She visited four times per day. And each time she gave me a little update with a photo of them. Their routine with food is a bit complicated too, with both kibble and chicken and pills. I wrote out the instructions and she followed through perfectly – my dogs were not traumatized when I got home. One, just about didn’t care if I was back….the other was so happy to see me, but she’s not a dog that likes other people. That’s another thing, she was able to deal with this one dog’s head problems. She was an abused dog and she really is only our family dog. After a couple of years, she doesn’t mind the groomer. But anyway Shayna took pictures of Prim too, and she was just fine. Bottom line, don’t worry….Shayna is smart, very kind and very responsible. I will not hesitate to ask her to help us again! She will put your mind at ease that you left your fur babies at home.

About: Hello I’m Ashley!! I am a huge animal lover and I have such a soft heart for every single one. I grew up in a small town and with not a lot money but I always somehow managed to find a stray cat to take home. I could never leave a cat or dog my heart will not let me and I’d always take them home till I found there forever home. I say kitty sanctuary because the amount of times I found cats or kittens and took them home! We didn’t have much growing up but I gave my all to my pets and even got my first job at 14 working at a snackbar for a baseball field and everything I made always went to getting food and extra food for the kitties I’d find. We had one dog growing up and sadly gave him away but I love dogs just as much!! The last two years I have dog sat for my neighbors who go on a few trips and I’ve been told I’m very attentive and friendly. I also watch my best friends cat for her every time she goes out of town. You can rely on me to keep things tidy, daily feeding, fresh water, picking up poop and I’ve had a sick cat before so I can do medications as well! I’m a very happy and big hearted person it’s just me naturally so you know your animals will be getting all my love and attention. I can assure you that your pets will be in very good hands and I will do all the basics and requirements you ask. Your home and pet will be given the same respect and care that I take with my own valuables. I have one part time job so I have a lot of availability to help out!! I’d be so happy to take the stress of leaving your pet and ensuring they are in great hands. I have one part time job so most of the week I’m free and I’m available every evening and night after 6pm! I usually only work mon- wed but I can always work around and figure it out. Id prefer your pets to stay home since they are typically more comfortable when they are in they’re own home and I want to make sure your pet feels happy an safe! If you needed for them to stay with me we can talk about it and I just have one little kitty with me who loves all animals just as much as me!

About: Ever since I can remember, myself as well as my family have loved and enjoyed dogs and they have always been a part of our family. I got my first puppy when I was 12 years old. She was a rescue and I had her until I was 26 years old. Her name was Molly. We had many other dogs during that time. My sister's and I were who cared for them all. Although this is my first time running a business caring for dogs, I have taken care of dogs most of my life. Some people call themselves a "people person". I call myself a "dog person". I have always had a natural ability to connect with dogs. Dogs have always loved being with me. I care for them as if they were a child of mine. As I always have said, the more I get to know people; the more I love dogs! I'm currently a student at home so, I am available to give your pet my undivided attention. I treat all animals as if they are my own, like family. I love to spend quality time with animals. I also have good hygiene. I believe this is important because we all know how dirty animals can be. I am gentle and loving.

About: I’m a former dog groomer with experience handling dogs of all sizes and temperaments from playful puppies to anxious seniors. I can quickly recognize signs of stress, illness, or injury in both dogs and cats, and I’m always calm and gentle, especially with older pets who need extra care. I treat every animal like they’re my own and make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable. Taking care of animals is one of my favorite parts of the week! Whether I’m going for a walk, giving belly rubs, or just hanging out with a furry friend, it never feels like work. I have a flexible schedule, so I love fitting pet care into my day it keeps me happy, active, and surrounded by wagging tails and purrs. Pets make life better, and I’m always excited to spend time with them! When I’m in a pet’s home, my goal is to make them feel safe, relaxed, and totally at ease, like their best friend just walked through the door! I always follow the pet parent’s instructions closely, stick to the pet’s usual routine, and keep things calm and familiar. I’m respectful of your home, keep things clean, and make sure your pet gets plenty of love, playtime, and attention while you’re away. You can trust that your furry family member is in good hands!

About: I have had dogs and taken care of dogs since I was a kid. I love all creatures and will pamper your pup! I know how important it is for dogs to feel safe and cared for while their owners are away and will give your dog all the love and attention it needs! I have a very flexible schedule which allows me plenty of time to spend taking care of your pet. When I do work, it's only for a few hours at a time, so I can stick with your dog's routine for eating and walking and such. I have a fenced yard with a bit of grass and one small senior dog who gets along with dogs and cats. I don't mind dogs on the couch and we have a cute park down the road for walks and outside play time.

About: I have been a devoted pet caregiver and self owner since the age of 10. I have experience training and care giving for many different type of breeds such as huskies , poodles , jack Russell’s, German shepherds, pit bulls , and more. I always have experience with cats as well and love them just as much. My passion for the genuine care of animals is immense and I would strive to give the best service always. I have been fortunate enough to take some time away from my 9-5 and have had a dire need to pick up a hobby of something I genuinely would LOVE to do. My schedule is completely open to the needs of fur babies! I have one extremely friendly and loving husky who would love to engage with other pets just as much as I would. I have a large fenced backyard for play and gates that block off any potential hazards such as a open road.

About: I don’t have issues with watching/walking more than one dog at a time. I’ve been pet sitting/house sitting for my friends/neighbor’s two dogs for the past 3 years. I have an 11 year old Shiba Inu who I love to death. Even though he can be a brat at time. My dog lives with my mom, so house sitting for you will not be an issue. I owned a cat for 10 years before he passed away. Other people in my neighborhood have relied on my to check in on their pets when needed. I’ve been around all types of breeds, big and small. Since I have a dog I know what pet care is like. - I have experience administering medications to dogs and cats. - I have taken care of dogs/cats of all ages - I can watch multiple pets at a time. My repeat family had two dogs and a cat I work full time down in San Diego. But I work from home three days a week so I can walk/check in on your pets during those days of the week. I can make myself available on weekends too. I will follow the care routine of your pet. I will cater to their feeding and walking schedule. I have a car so I can take them to dog parks (if requested) and vet appointments.
