About: I am truly a die hard dog lover and I treat every dog as if it were my own. I currently have two dogs and I know how it feels to have to entrust another person to care for them in the same way you would. I've had pets (cats & dogs) my entire life. All animals are different, like humans, and my approach is to provide a bespoke experience to make her/his/their time with me the best ever! As much information as you can share about your pet the better I can create the ultimate vacation for your furbaby! Walks, hikes, dog park, relax and chill, bathing, Play dates, beach, … Pick-up & Drop-off is included in my rate complimentary. I can provide references as well for your comfortability. Thank you! I work from home and have a flexible work schedule so I can adjust my time to what is needed. My goal is to make your pet as comfortable and happy as possible. I have a large wrap around deck that is closed off with pet gates. I am outside if dogs are outside I am extremely mindful and present while with your pet.
“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 cared for dogs of all ages (horses too!) since I was a kid. My dogs are seniors so I understand their particular needs well. I'm currently freelancing from home part-time and will have plenty of time to care for and play with your pets. Walks are part of boarding, of course. I have a fenced yard and two friendly, calm dogs to keep your pets company. I give my dogs homemade organic treats and will adhere to all rules you have about play, treats, walks, etc.
About: I’ve cared for dogs and cats for many years through family, friends, and neighbors, and I’m very comfortable handling daily routines like feeding, walking, medication, and overnight care. I pay close attention to each pet’s habits and comfort level. I’m reliable, communicative, and respectful of both pets and people’s spaces. Pet care fits well into my routine, and I’m able to be present and attentive when I take on a booking. I structure my schedule so I can maintain pets’ normal routines, including meals, walks, playtime, and quiet time. For house sitting and drop-in visits, I prioritize reliability, clear communication, and consistency so both pets and owners feel at ease. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow established routines closely and make safety, consistency, and clear communication a priority. For pets staying with me, I maintain a calm, structured environment and only accept dogs that are a good fit for the space and setting. I’m attentive to individual needs, respectful of boundaries, and always prioritize a pet’s comfort and well-being.

“Cesar is amazing!! He took care of my three cats while we were out of town for our wedding, over the past 9 days our kitties were in great care with Cesar’s drop in visits! He went above and beyond our expectations. Truly kept the litter boxes clean and swept around them! He changed their food and water and made sure they were safe! Cesar is trust worthy and respectful! He kept us updated throughout the whole process, sending us lots of loving photos and even keeping us updated on the weather! He is soo kind and truly loves animals, we have gold fish here too, even thou we were feeding them pebbles with the automatic feeder he noticed the fish and added some bounce flacks when he visited (out of the kindness of his heart). SO NICE! If you are looking for someone to care for your pets, I HIGHLY recommend Cesar he is very knowledgeable and caring, he followed every step I gave him and went beyond that. He even offered to have a free meet and great so the animals could get to know him! SO THOUGHTFUL. unfortunately my tight schedule wouldn’t allow it but, it’s the thought he puts in that counts! Thank you so much Cesar you are a true blessing to us and our animals! Until next time! 💕”

“April is awesome!! I was very nervous to leave my pets as one cat is very shy. But not with her! She also managed around a difficult household member. Right away my kitties took to her and I had peace my entire time away. I will definitely be using her services again!!”

About: I’ve grown up with pets my entire life. I don’t have a preference I love dogs and cats. I currently live with a red golden retriever and a orange short hair cat. I currently work part-time while attending school full-time, so I value being responsible, organized, and dependable with my schedule. I’m fully available on weekdays and committed to giving pets the attention, care, and exercise they need during walks and drop-in visits. Growing up with both a dog and a cat has given me experience with different pet personalities and needs. I understand that some pets are energetic and need patience on walks, while others may be more independent or shy. My own golden retriever can be very excited and pull on the leash, so I’m comfortable handling high-energy dogs during walks. I also have experience giving medication and hiding pills in treats or food when needed because my dog has allergies. I always focus on making pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while keeping owners updated.
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’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.
