Doggy Day Care in Joshua Tree

“Kloie is awesome with my dog! She replied right away when I needed a sitter last minute. She updated me throughout the day how my dog is doing. My dog has anxiety and I am happy she was able to bond with him and made sure he is comfortable. It helped that Kloie walked him multiple times and sent me pictures. I am definitely going back to ask Kloie to take care of him again. See you soon. Mylo”

“Lacey was awesome with my dog. He left both days happy and tired. She gave me updates and pictures and was super easy to contact and communicate with. She’s super nice and you can tell she loves dogs and your pets in good care.”

About: At Dream Ranch the style of Dog/Cat Boarding is designed to provide your pet with a totally “enriched” boarding experience, which I accomplish by giving pets the things they need most: behavioral choices, exercise, socialization, and the absence of stress. Dogs/Cats prefer real homes and outdoor play yards over kennels or warehouses. By their very nature, they require socialization with other dogs/cats and with people, not solitary confinement. I am experienced and I segregate the dogs/cats according to size and temperament, and monitor each pack so that all dogs/cats are in a stress-free environment. I play, run, fetch, nap, cuddle, bark and talk during the day (including our fantastic water play yard), and they sleep slumber-party-style in our home with a bunch of new friends at night. And they are never locked up or left alone…that’s right, there are no cages here. (Unless you tell me otherwise, &/or your pet's daily routine involves crate/kennel training already) Sometimes life doesn’t allow for pet's. Fortunately for you, Dream Ranch always does! When you need a second home, book a stay for your pet(s) at Dream Ranch!! There’s No Place Like Home… And There’s No Place Like Dream Ranch For Your pet's When You’re Away! 24/7 hours a day, 365 days a year!

“OMG Mike & Molly did great! Nina was wonderful! I was a nervous mama and she made me so comfortable with pics all day and reassured that they would be fine ? They were happy puppies ? Thanks to her daughter as well for cuddling my Molly.... Can’t wait to see Nina 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.

“Felice and her home are warm and welcoming. She’s a huge yard, and enjoys taking the pups on walks. She has a way with timid dogs and is incredibly flexible. It was such a relief to have someone nearby who is reliable and clearly loves taking care of pups. We will continue leaving our pup in Felice’s care when we can and strongly recommend her to others.”

“My dogs had an amazing time! Louella really cared for them and enjoyed having them. Would definitely have the dogs stay again!”

“Ryan was fantastic! We could tell she was a dog lover. We felt completely confident in leaving our dog with her for the day. She went above and beyond with sending photos and loving on Frankie. Also her dog Charly, was a sweetheart and the perfect playmate for our rather finicky dog. I can’t imagine anyone having been more perfect for our dog and our first experience with Rover!”

“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.”

“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.”

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, however never having one as a pet, I don't prioritize dog care in my profile. 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.

“Jacky was so lovely! So grateful I could leave my dog in safe hands while exploring Joshua Tree for the day :) Jacky was very responsive, and treated Lasso so well! Definitely will book again!”

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.

About: I’ve grown up with dogs and cats and have two dogs of my own that I’ve raised with lots of love and some training since they were tiny puppies. I’ve also dog sat friend’s and family’s pets several times. I really enjoy taking care of animals and feel lots of love & empathy for these four legged friends! :) I work from home and make my own schedule so I have lots of flexibility in terms of availability. I’m happy to come to you in order to care for your pets and/or home. I have two dogs of my own at home who get lots of love, care and attention. I always make sure to bring the same care and love to your pets!

About: I’ve cared for all kinds of dogs, from puppies to elderly. Great pet friendly home with fully fenced yard. Furniture and beds are a-okay. Experienced with administering meds. I am an artist and at home full time. My own companion recently passed so there are currently no other pets in the home. I have plenty of time to play and snuggle and can’t wait to meet your fur baby! My yard is fully fenced with plenty of room to toss a ball or to just get out the zoomies. There are no off-limits rooms in the home. I have a doggy door but am also happy to take them outside every two hours if they need encouragement. Feeding time is generally 8 and 5. If meds are needed their schedule will be strictly adhered to.

“2nd time with Hannah and she’s been great! She’s on time, friendly, respectful, and diligent and loving in her care. Best of all, our good boy is crazy about her!”

About: I taken care when I was very young even taking care of ill/sick animals. I'll nurse them back to health when vets couldn't do it. I bottle feed and take them to the restroom when they are babies. I been taking care since 10 years old. I'm very open with my schedule and love to be around animals. I work from home working as a editor and have lots of free time. I have a gate area for all animals. I always have them on a leash and make sure we walk in the morning or evening. It's too hot for their paws if you have booties for them even great. Always have water on me and poop bags. I never have anything laying around for them to eat or play with. I'm always outside with them when need to go potty and play.

“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”

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).
