Dog Boarding Garnet

“Judith was absolutely wonderful with our Golden Retriever girl, Sage! She was very communicative throughout the entire stay, providing us with regular updates that kept our minds completely at ease. It is clear that she is incredibly caring and attentive, treating Sage like one of her own. We couldn't have asked for a better sitter and highly recommend Judith to anyone looking for top-notch care!”

“Awesome with my older Great Dane! He loves going here. Megan is so sweet to try and comfort him when he gets anxious being away from mom & dad. We’ve used her a few times already and have another trip planned next month. We feel Cooper’s in excellent hands with Megan!”

About: Dogs have always found their way to me. I've been around them most of my life, and there's something about calm, consistent energy that they seem to respond to. A friend would tell you I'm the person dogs gravitate toward at a party, and I'd say that's probably the most honest qualification I can offer. My most meaningful experience came with my own rescue, a shepherd mix I adopted at 7 months, trained from scratch, and cared for through 15 years of life, including her final year as a senior dog with mobility needs. I became practiced at daily medication administration, wound care, and the kind of patient, attentive routine that older dogs need. Senior dogs are a specialty I genuinely enjoy and take seriously. I work from home full-time, which means your dog won't spend the day alone. I'm here, present, and engaged — great for dogs with separation anxiety or those who simply do better with a steady human nearby. I take one dog (or one bonded pair) at a time, so your pet gets real individual attention. My home in Palm Springs is clean, quiet, and comfortable with direct access to a large greenway for on-leash walks right from my back patio. I know the desert schedule well, so in warmer months walks happen early morning or evening when it's safe and comfortable. I have a car and am happy to help with pickup or dropoff when needed. I'm comfortable with oral medications, mobility assistance, and dogs with special routines. My home is single-level — no stairs. I prefer dogs to sleep on their own bed or the floor (I'll have a comfortable spot ready), and I take one guest at a time to keep things calm and personal. Meet-and-greets are always welcome before a booking.

“Tony was super kind and a great communicator the entire time he had my dog. He kept him safe and well cared for especially in the heat. Thanks so much!”

About: I’ve cared for pets since I was a child, including dogs, cats, bunnies, hamsters, and snakes. Animals have always held a special place in my heart. I am available every day, including weekdays and weekends so I have plenty of time to give your pets the attention care and companionship they deserve. My home has a brick fence, a garden, multiple outdoor doors, and plenty of space. I also have a clean, air conditioned home and a friendly senior dog.

“Excellent puppy caregiver!”

“Lynn provided a welcoming place to stay for my dog. My dog is a rescue dog who has very little social time and can be defensive. Lynn was very proactive and Lynne’s dog Lucy was too. My dog, Isla, was able to stay with Lynne for two days. Isla was a very happy camper. I will say that Lynne receives 5 stars from me. I will recommend her to anyone looking for a person knowledgeable about pets who has the skills to make it a really great experience for your pet.”

“Shelley did a great job at taking care of our baby, Charlie. He has a ton of energy and she ensured he got lots of exercise and playtime (hopefully not wearing her out too much in the meantime!) He slept really well after we picked him up😃 Shelley gave video updates and we knew he was having a great time! We will use her again in the future!”

“Katie was great with our dog Sophie. She did a excellent job of taking care of our dog for 2 weeks. Daily updates with photos kept us in comfort that Sophie was doing well. We will no doubt be using Katie again in the near future. Highly recommend her.”

“Lacey was amazing with our dogs! Constant communication and pictures, which we loved. Definitely going back to Lacey whenever we go out of town!”

“Carl took amazing care of my pup!! He was very professional and had a lovely home. My dog got along well with his pups, and he played with her as if she was one of his own. I fully intend to use Carl again in the future!”

Sara H.

“Hazel was amazing. She actually made sure that my dog would be a good fit for her home and she would be able to take care of her effectively. When I went to pick up Ruby she was all tired out; no doubt from all the playing and attention she got. Highly recommend and will book again in the future!!”

“Samantha was so lovely and responsive, with much dog expertise! She made sure Oswald felt right at home and I would highly recommend her for anyone needing to board their dog! Thanks Samantha!”

“Larry took great care of our pet. This is my first time using a sitter instead of boarding and she was much happier and received his undivided attention. Lots of photos and great communication.”

Paul A.

“Angelica is super. My Bella still has a lot of puppy energy and she loves other dogs. I love that she gets time with another doggo and she gets a little walkie in. Social time and a walk for her, 5 stars. Thank you!!!!”

Andrea M.

“Alice has a nice oasis in Joshua Tree for my two dogs. They’ve never traveled away from home so her care was wonderful and comforting. Her two dogs made friends and welcomed my two boys with play and fun. I would ask Alice to care for my boys the next time I am in Joshua Tree!”

Priscilla W.

“Kat and her family took excellent care of Peppa while we were away! Our pup is an older girl and had started some new medication shortly before we left; Kat was excellent in providing that extra care and attention that she needed as she started adjusting to her new medicine regimen, and allowed us to relax on our vacation. Would trust her again with our girl, and would highly recommend! Thanks!”

About: Over the years, friends and family have entrusted their precious pets in my care because they trusted my abilities and knew that I would treat their pets as I would my own. I am a pet owner and animal lover. I have experience caring anywhere from puppies to senior dogs. I have been a volunteer at the ASPCA and have participated in their pet care summer programs, as well has a current volunteer at Animal Haven rescue organization and fostering puppies for Animal Social Tees. As a pet lover myself I understand the difficulty of finding someone who will care for your pets and respect your home. My clients can rest assure that they will be provided the highest degree of professionalism and heartfelt pet care for their four-legged family members. All pets are unique and deserve undivided attention. I work from home and would consider myself a homebody. If im ever out its usually running short errands no more than 2 hours. I usually make sure my pets have been let out and have everything they need prior to leaving. I have a fenced yard with a pool, plenty of backyard space and lots of tennis balls. I have a friendly cat who gets along well with other dogs and a Pomeranian who can always use a friend to be around.

“So helpful with last minute changes. My babies were in good hands!”

“Sierra helped us out last minute when our other sitter canceled! She was wonderful with our senior girl! Sent great updates and photos often. When we picked our dog up she seemed well taken care of and like she didn’t miss us too much which is a great sign! Will totally use Sierra again when we’re visiting the area.”
