Doggy Day Care in Hidden River

“The dogs came home tired and happy! She also took precaution to separate our smaller dogs from the bigger ones at the start till they were more comfortable which I really appreciated :)”

“Lacey was so gentle and patient with my dog, recognizing that she isn’t used to being in new environments without her family. I really appreciated the updates on how she was doing, and Lacey was super friendly and reassuring.”

“I dropped my crazy 8 month old puppy off with Grey for the day while we explored non-friendly parts of Joshua Tree NP. It was so nice to let my puppy off leash and let her play with Billow! And I had Grey drop my pup off which was super helpful. I forgot to pack dinner for my pup and Grey fed her and sent her with extra food. You can tell that she really cares about the wellbeing of the dogs she cares for <3 Highly recommend! Your dog is in good hands with Grey and her dog crew! Highly recommend”

“I cannot say enough great things about Taura! My boys were with her two full days while I visited Joshua Tree and I had ZERO worries leaving them there. Laura was so welcoming and has such great space for dogs to run and play. This was great for them as we were on a cross-country road trip and they spent lots of time in the car. Taura was awesome at sending updates and videos, so I knew they were having fun the whole time. Taura is am amazing and interesting woman, and I think our paths will cross again. Taura- thank you from the bottom of my heart!!”

About: I’ve cared for dogs for the last 40 years—my own & others. I’m great with energetic dogs. Have also taken care of cats & birds & donkeys. I’m an author working on my second book, so my time is flexible. I have two dogs of my own but they don’t mind if I hang out with other animals. I have two dogs of my own—one from New York, the other a desert dog—so I understand the unique challenges of taking care of all types of dogs in this environment.

About: I have over 10 years experience caring for animals of all kinds. I worked as a pet store manager for 4 years and I oversaw cat adoptions and the care of newborn puppies. From horses, dogs & cats all the way to reptiles and arachnids, I’ve got you covered. I work online part-time and have a mostly open schedule to accommodate your critters! At home I care for 9 chickens and a lovely cat. I will do everything to keep your pet happy. Feeding, walks, playtime, or offering a safe and quiet space depending on your pets individual needs.

“Hannah was great. She was very communicative and it was easy to find her place. My puppy had a great time running around with her dogs, he was very tired when he got back in the car after. We spent the day at Lassen Volcanic National Park and then had some driving to do after so it was great that he was tired out for the rest of the drive. Highly recommend Hannah if you’re driving through the area.”

“We send our pup George to Monica for doggie day care and it has been a life saver!! She takes excellent care of him, gives him lots of love and he plays all day while we work- it’s the best!!”

“Lauren was wonderful! She was our pup’s first Rover sitter. She was very friendly and put us all at ease. She communicated well with us. We would definitely call on her again for future dog sitting needs!”

About: Hi, I'm Simone. Thanks for visiting my profile! I'm a photographer currently working on a project and living in Joshua Tree. I adore animals more than anything else. Lucky for me, animals seem to love me back, and I connect easily with most cats and dogs that I meet. My two kitties Bert and Ernesto were the loves of my life and I had 13 loving, goofy years with them. I miss them so much. I'm not ready to have any animals of my own, which is why I would be delighted to spend time with and care for your animal/s. In the last year of his life, one of my cats was sick and he required extensive nursing at home. I gave him daily meds including liquids and pills, and I administered fluids via subcutaneous injections for several months. I believe in maintaining a clean environment for animals so that they feel the highest level of comfort possible in their world. I know that cats need exercise, and I prioritize play if they are interested in engaging. I know how stressful it is to travel and leave animals at home. I am highly reliable and trustworthy, and your furry friends are my number one priority. I also love dogs and have walked many dogs for family and friends. I have a large, secure, fenced in yard for doggie daycare and boarding. I work independently as a photographer, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to structure my day around caring for animals. Whether it’s a drop-in or staying overnight, I’m able to give your cat my full attention. When caring for cats in a client’s home, I aim to maintain a clean, calm, and safe environment that keeps your cat comfortable and secure. I’m careful with doors, windows, and potential escape routes, and I always check for hiding spots to make sure everyone is accounted for. I respect your home as if it were my own, follow your care instructions closely, and make sure your cat’s routine stays consistent. I’m also happy to provide updates, photos, or notes if that helps you feel more at ease while you’re away.

“She was great day sitting our little chihuahua while we hiked for the day. She took a lot of pictures to send to us. She was very sweet with our dog. I would use her again.”

About: Hello, my name is Seana, my experience comes from having grown up with pets of many kinds, both my own and others. I can feed, bathe, clean up after, walk and play with your dog. There may be times where I may need to bring another dog with me, so if you could please let me know how your dog is with others, then I can arrange accordingly. To contact me I would appreciate a phone call to arrange a meet up. Thank you for your time and I hope to hear from you and your pet soon. I am currently job hunting, so I am always home with plenty of time to care for your beloved pets. I only ask to arrange a meet and greet before a service is booked. I live in a house on 5 acres of unfenced land. I do have a cat of my own so overnights will have to be at my home, otherwise I am flexible.

“Salina and her family were amazing. They were available pretty last minute for us and we’re super grateful for that. They were so easygoing and friendly throughout the whole process and they took great care of our big energetic boy. They’re local for us and are going to be our go to when we’re looking for a sitter or overnight care in the future.”

About: I’ve had more than a dozen pets in my life both from fostering and adopting and all of them have been shown love like never before. I love animals with my whole heart. I’ve volunteered at animal shelters, a cat rescue, and I was a Girl Scout for 7 years. I love helping others and’s more than anything I want your pets to be happy, safe, and comfortable in your absence. I work part time 3 days a week for 7 hour shifts however they are typically scattered throughout the week on odd days and times. I am willing to do just about anything to attend to your pets needs and I will always make sure they are safe, healthy, and happy as can be in my care. In my own home I can feed, water, pet, love, cuddle, play with, go on walks with, and administer medications, and brush pets. I can do all of the same within clients homes with the exception of walks (IF I’m unfamiliar with the area).

About: Hi, I’m Harlean! I’m a recent anthropology graduate, small business owner, and lifelong animal caretaker. Animals have shaped much of my life, from growing up with pets, to working with farm animals at a summer job, to volunteering in wildlife care for a year. Those experiences taught me how to read body language, adapt to different temperaments, and stay calm in a wide range of situations. I’m comfortable caring for high-energy dogs, shy or sensitive animals, and pets with structured feeding routines. Running my own business has also strengthened my reliability, organization, and communication skills. When you book with me, you can expect consistency, clear updates, and thoughtful attention to your pet’s specific needs. As a self-employed small business owner, I set my own hours, which allows me flexibility to meet your pet care needs. I’m primarily available during the traditional workweek (Monday–Friday) at this time. Weekends are typically reserved for prior engagements. I closely monitor body language and behavior, whether that’s spotting early signs of stress or recognizing when a dog is relaxed and engaged. In your home, I follow your established routines and ensure doors, gates, and feeding areas are secure. During walks, pets remain leashed at all times, and I stay attentive to surroundings, terrain, and temperature, especially in our desert climate. I aim to create an environment where your pet feels calm and safe while also having an enriching and enjoyable experience.

About: I have worked and managed a doggy daycare/ boarding facility for about 5 years. I also have been working in veterinary hospitals for the past 6 years. I am trying to focus on getting my vet tech certification, so I have free time to take care of other pets and provide great care. I love to take dogs for walks to enjoy the outside. I also have no problem hanging with a pet in their home if that is where they are most comfortable.
