Dog Walking Joshua Tree

About: I have helped professionals in the veterinary field groom and train animals. I have also been pet sitting for family and have had many pets throughout my life! I am currently a part-time student at Copper Mountain College, and work weekends at Hi-Desert Tails. I have a bit of free time as I have online classes! I will have to schedule pet care around my work, but I’m very flexible outside of that! I will be able to play with and take care of any dogs or cats, no matter the size or energy level! I can also easily crate if needed. Please let me know if there are cameras inside the home, and give written instructions so I don’t forget any details!

About: Hey there! I'd love the opportunity to care for your pets while you're away or take them out when you're too busy. I live with my own little crew of three cats and one dog and have fostered and cared for other animals over the years. I'm located in Yucca Valley on the mesa and have experience working and volunteering with cat and dog rescue groups, including handling large breeds and recently rescued dogs. I can provide walking, pet-sitting in your home, and active play for any size dog. I'm highly responsible, attentive, and punctual, and sensitive to pets with special needs or quirks. I love getting to know individual animals and catering to their personalities and needs. Medication, special needs, senior pets ok!

About: My family has had dogs ever since I was a baby. I didn’t own my own dog until I met Buddy and we have since then been inseparable. We go to the dog park every single day to play with all the other loving dogs. I’m currently working from home and am very flexible. Can take your pets for a walk and play with them outside or inside. They will be loved. I am proactive and will encourage the pups to run around outside, play fetch, and wrestle each other. Buddy would love more friends to play with.

About: I had a wonderful Husky growing up, He was always bursting with energy and personality, eager to run, explore, and snuggle up next to me whenever the day ended. Having him around taught me responsibility, patience, and just how strong the bond between a person and a dog can be. After high school, I adopted a Rottweiler of my own. Raising him from a young age helped me understand training, structure, and daily care better. Soon after, my mom needed some help with her cat, so I welcomed him into my home. For a while, I had both a dog and a cat living together—learning to balance their different personalities, needs, and routines. Later, when my husband and I moved into our own place, we added another furry family member—a sweet Corgi who joined us about two years later. Each pet has brought something special into my life and has helped me grow as a caregiver. I’ve gained hands-on experience with both dogs and cats—from energetic working breeds to loyal guardians and independent, affectionate cats. Caring for them isn’t just about feeding and walks—it’s about building trust, comfort, and a little friendship along the way. Pet sitting fits naturally into my routine since I work part-time with very flexible hours. I’m able to plan my schedule around visits, walks, and check-ins, whether they’re early mornings, midday, or evenings. Because I manage my own time, I can give pets consistent attention, unrushed care, and plenty of love throughout the week. I care for pets in my home and yours with the same level of love, patience, and attention I give my own. In my home, I create a calm, safe, and cozy environment where they can relax, play, and feel like part of the family. I adhere strictly to their regular routines—feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and bedtime habits—to ensure their security and comfort. In your home, I respect their space and maintain their familiar routine to minimize stress. I move at their pace, especially with shy or anxious pets, building trust through gentle interactions, consistency, and positive reinforcement. Whether it’s energetic playtime or quiet cuddles, I prioritize making each pet feel safe, understood, and truly cared for.

About: I have a farm and a lifelong love for all animals! Currently, I care for my three furry friends and livestock, ensuring they receive the best care possible. My hands on experience with a variety of animals and a trusted reputation among friends and family set me apart. I specialize in drop ins, walking, and occasional overnight pet care, providing attentive and personalized care for your pets. Whether it's a quick visit or a refreshing walk, your pets will be in good hands. Pet care is a big part of my daily routine! As of right now, I am free most days during the daytime or evening, unless stated. At a client’s house, I prioritize creating a comfortable environment for their pets by following their routine and preferences. I ensure they have plenty of exercise, companionship, and playtime, while also respecting the home’s guidelines. Communication is key, so I’ll provide regular updates and stay attentive to their pets' needs!

About: As a mom and dog owner myself, I am sensitive to the needs and feelings of animals as they are just like kids. I have taken care of animals my entire life, from small dogs, big dogs, territorial dogs, horses, cats, and a bunch of other creatures. We even have our own animal CBD line on the market for dogs in pain or with ptsd. I’m active, love to walk, believe in positive reinforcement. We have a perfect yard for animals to safely play and a large home with a loving family to make your loved one feel safe when they are missing their people. My dog friends end up calling me Auntie Sal as we take them in as family. I’m currently flexible and have the ability for same day walks, last minute trips and pop ins. I can work with your schedule most days. My husband is my tag team back as well. I have two fences in yards one for running and the other for safe play. I never leave them unattended. We are happy to follow your lead on crate training if desired. We provide toys and treats if you approve. We love park walks and have 2.5 acres to explore. We have the ability to keep dogs separate from ours if needed.

“Juli was very patient with our older dog. He can be difficult to get going, and she had him on his way! Slow but sure!”

About: I love being with dogs! I have been a dog Mom for 35 years, and I run a nonprofit dog rescue. Through my extensive experience with dogs, I feel I understand the emotions, language and needs of pups. My joy is seeing dogs feel safe and cared for, and watching them thrive! I am good with dogs in all stages of life, especially senior pups. I am home with the dogs! Dog care and being with the dogs is my priority. Your dogs will have loving companionship and attention, to help them feel comfortable, relaxed and nurtured. My home is set up for the comfort of the pups! Dogs are allowed on all furniture and beds, for better snuggling. I have fenced yards made for the pups’ safety and security, and I own 28 surrounding acres of beautiful, pristine desert land, where pups can run, walk and play. There are no roads, traffic or passing cars. Dogs love the freedom of this exquisite area! I call it a Doggy Disneyland!

About: I have 30 years of experience caring for dogs and understand that every pet has a different personality, routine, and comfort level. I work from home, so the dogs in my care receive close supervision, frequent attention, play, and regular potty breaks. I am comfortable caring for senior dogs and dogs with special needs, and I can administer oral or injected medication when provided with clear instructions. Pet parents can expect thoughtful communication and photo updates while their dog is with me. My goal is simple: to help your dog feel safe, understood, and at home while you are away. I work from home and have a flexible schedule, which allows me to give pets consistent attention throughout the day. I can accommodate regular potty breaks, playtime, walks, feeding routines, medication schedules, and plenty of companionship. I provide attentive care in a non-smoking home with a fenced outdoor area and a gated dog park nearby. I supervise pets closely, follow each owner's feeding, medication, exercise, and household instructions, and take introductions at the dog's pace. My resident dog, Bart, is part of the home, so I want to understand how each guest is socialized before booking. I am also respectful and careful when providing care in a client's home. Please share any routines, triggers, medical needs, or safety concerns so I can create a calm, comfortable stay.

“I would definitely recommend Renée as a dog walker! She takes my pup on nice long walks and has been a huge help as I adjust to my new work schedule. Kayenta took to her right away. She’s flexible, reliable, and friendly. Super pleasant/easy experience working with her and I am already a repeat client. Thanks Renée!”

Amanda C.

“Elizabeth was awesome! She visited to walk and feed our 3 dogs and everything went smoothly. Each dog has their own quirks and Elizabeth took her time to make each dog feel comfortable. She left thorough notes in the app and was very communicative leading up to the visits. Would definitely recommend!”

“Shawna took great care of our girl! She helped us out with a huge last minute request, and we're so grateful we found her. Thank you for making our last minute trip that much easier, Shawna!”

About: I have had larger dogs my entire life and have pet sat for family for about 4 years. I love animals and am willing to work with dogs who may need extra help! I am currently a full time student at SUU and a part time employee. I’m willing to work with your schedule as long as your willing to work with mine! I respect the clients home, boundaries, and rules with their pets. Everybody has their own beliefs about how to care for their pet and I believe as a sitter my biggest responsibility after the pets safety is to respect those beliefs.

“We are obsessed with Katie and so are our pups! One of our dogs has barked at every single person who has ever stepped foot in our house, everyone except Katie! And we tend to have a ton of guests, our minds were blown. We’ve met with Katie twice now, and each time she has been very intuitive, attentive, knowledgeable and”

About: Both of us grew up with pets in our homes; some of our fondest memories include time spent with our animals. Tristan has had dogs ranging from a little Chihuahua to a Great Dane, while Adeline had a series of high-energy mixes, as well as a couple mellow cats. We watched many of our friends' animals prior to adopting our pup George about a year ago, and have loved creating a forever home for him! We both are self-employed, and frequently work from home throughout the week. This flexibility allows us to be attentive with breaks and walks, and ensures that our pup and yours won't be left alone for too long each day. We have a fenced-in yard and live in a very walkable area near a park. We love to take walks and play with our dog, and will treat yours with the same amount of attention and care!

“Her own dog is very happy and friendly. My dog was comfortable with her even my dog is usually nervous when she meets new people and dogs. Rejoice is very good and trustworthy. She is friendly and happy too. I recommend her!!”
