House Sitting in Joshua Tree

“If you came over per my late request, please send it to me. I was driving all day until four, so I had very little time to talk on the phone. FYI, I saw oil in the driveway. I thought it was mine at first, but I would get yours checked if you can. Your car could be experiencing an oil/ATF leak. Have a great Holiday, and may you get a lot of gifts! I am sure I'll be contacting you soon.”

“Juliann was great! She kept my house in perfect shape and took such thoughtful care of my little rascal of a cat as well as allthe outdoor critters I feed. I came home to a happy pet and everything just as I left it. I felt totally at ease knowing she was here. Highly recommend!”

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is there is no debate with me when it comes to which is better, cats or dogs. I just love taking care of your fur babies! Plus I have dealt with older animals and understand what comes with handling them. Pet care fits in my routine perfectly! This and college will blend in perfectly in my day to day routine getting me where I need to be! I unfortunately cannot have any dogs or cats in my home, because there already are 4 dogs plus a cat in the home that I take care of. But I am willing to stay and take care of your pets in your home.

“BReN is an animal lover! It is evident upon first meeting her. She stayed in our home and cared for our two large dogs. They absolutely loved her. BReN was on time, communicated well and kept us up to date on how our dogs were doing. She also takes amazing photos! Thanks BReN…we will be booking you again!”

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: I have a wide variety of experience. Fostering shelter animals, caring for day old baby kittens. I've had ferrets and most everything else. Except I'm not fond of snakes. Anything furry please. I'm currently working part-time. Generally in the evenings. I can come by for care anytime before 3pm and be back around if needed by 10pm most nights I have great respect for other people's area. I am considerate, clean and honor privacy. I will leave the area better then when I arrived.

“Kaya is great! She was very responsive before and during the booking, and was very caring towards Theo. I’d definitely recommend Kaya if you need a sitter in the area!”

“Liz is incredibly loving and knowledgeable about dogs. My dog has separation anxiety and she was well aware of his possible behavior and addressed Latte with compassion and guidance! She is a gem!”

About: I have so much love and patience for all kinds of animals. I grew up with 8 Saint Bernards. Had birds as well and an Appaloosa horse. I currently live in a home with 4 cats ( one of them is my own baby), 5 birds and a snake. I am comfortable with any type of animal. I am a caregiver through IHSS with Aging and Adult Services. I care for people who need extra help. I am wanting to do farm work as well. Would love to get hands on experience and learn the ways to care for farm animals. Even though I am a caregiver I will make time for your furbaby. What ever it may be I will accommodate your needs. Your baby is and will be in safe hands. I will be caring for them in your home. Whether its a daily check up or overnight. First thing is that I will not let your baby out where they are not allowed to go. I do feeding schedules and also make sure there is time for play and cuddle moments. I also am very comfortable administrating medicine.

“We were so grateful to have Chantelle stay with our dogs, even if for just a night. She was responsive and communicative throughout the stay (and before and after). And we hope she’ll be available again!!!”

“Katie was amazing! We were able to do a meet and greet before which helped us feel super comfortable leaving our pups. She maintained great communication and sent several updates throughout the day. If available, we would love to have Katie dog sit again :)”

About: Been around animals all my life. Im the go to person my family and friends ask to care for their pets and I always feel honored when they do because pets are family I have lots of free time and availability in the day. I’m also active and enjoy being outdoors. Will keep your pets entertained and if needing multiple walks a day I’m your guy I have a little fenced backyard that pets can enjoy while at home. The yard is shaded, quiet and safe with some grass for your pet’s comfort

About: Hi my name is Kristin. I am a professional dog trainer. I offer lots of different training options and now I am offering daycare and boarding. I can administer medication. Your dog will be in an air conditioned room, my home, my back yard, and I will incorporate small training in all of my interaction with them. I currently run my training business out of my home so I am almost always home. If I need to leave, your pet will be in a safe kennel or other location and will be monitored using cameras. I have an air conditioned room with a dog door and a large backyard they will also have access to the rest of my house depending on their temperament. Your baby will be treated like family in my home. Have my own dog training business and boarding in daycare so I'm homeless the time unless I'm out doing a lesson with somebody I have dogs here as well and I also do classes at my home so Your puppy will be very integrated in my life Your pets are treated like mine they're in the house with me in my backyard they go places with me It just depends what I'm doing.

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.

“I had Francis housesit for me while I was gone for a weekend and he was great with the dogs! Kept me informed the whole time, sent plenty of pics, and even washed the sheets! Will definitely be requesting his services again whenever I need a dog sitter ?”

“We love Donna! She is always so kind and understanding of our dogs needs. She is professional, easy to communicate with and flexible! Takes great care of our babies and we trust her fully. Treats our home like it's her own!”

Audra S.

“Layla was very communicative throughout the entire sit, sending me photos so it felt like I had missed nothing at all! She even agreed to come prior to the actual sit to meet the dogs and learn the layout of the house, which made the sit that much easier because the dogs already knew her! Would recommend! :)”

Mikayla N.

“Byanka was great! She was super prompt in responding to messages and was available to come do a meet and greet with pups. also good about sending pictures!”

About: Currently servicing Twentynine palms, Joshua Tree, Yucca Valley. Since I was a child I have been a lover of all animals and was always caring for and rescuing anything that needed help. With that I bring 30+ years of on-hand pet care experience, including 8 years of experience as a veterinary surgical asst. for an orthopedic surgeon, that included working in our connected emergency center. Some of my own dogs have been rescues from neglectful/abusive situations. So, I understand the time, patience and care it takes to build trust with all animals. Currently, I also have a parrot and previously raised 2 bearded dragons, amongst many other animals. I just recently moved to the area and am looking to turn my love of animals into a way to help others have peace of mind about their pets while they are at work or enjoying their free time. What sets me apart from others are both my personal and professional experiences caring for pets, with everything from dogs and cats to reptiles. These experiences have taught me to be calm, gentle and attentive in all situations and given the knowledge and comfort to work with a wide variety of animals from young pets to seniors. This includes the administration of various types and forms of medication, syringe feeding and grooming. If you are searching for someone to care for a pet that is not a cat or dog, please reach out so we can determine if I could be a great fit for your exotic pets or otherwise as well. Friends and family have entrusted me with their pets for as long as I can remember and I always give them the love and care that I would give my own pets because it’s very important to me that all animals feel safe and loved. I do have a larger SUV that can be used to take your fur baby to the vet should the need arise. I offer basic pet grooming services in your home which would include; bathing, drying, brushing, ear cleaning, nail trims (just ask and we can discuss details- I have this listed at $40 as a general price but this could adjust up or down based on size of pet and extent of services). I do free meet and greets prior to taking on new pets so we can make sure everyone involved is comfortable and it’s a great fit for all prior to your pets first time alone with me. As a loving pet mom myself, I know how hard it is to find trustworthy people to leave your pets with. I can assure you I would love and care for your pets like they were my own family, so I hope you pick me as your pets new care buddy :) I look forward to meeting you and your little 4 legged babies!! I am new to the area and currently not working, so this allows my schedule to be very open and flexible for all of your pet care needs. I’m open Monday through Friday from early morning to evening and some Sat/Sun based on dates. We will work together to discuss any and all specific needs your pets may have and any other preferences for care. This will include feeding schedules, any special needs or behavior quirks I need to be aware of, etc. As a cautious pet parent myself, you can rest assured I will never feed your pet anything they shouldn’t have and will always ensure house rules are followed. Currently, I offer house sitting but this does not include overnight stays at the moment. However, I can be available if necessary to stay all day with your pet if they need more than a drop in (for example, special needs or senior pets that need more full time care while you’re at work all day, frequent meds, potty breaks every hour, etc) Just ask and we can discuss details! I love being outside so I can provide all the walks and outdoor play time needed. I of course will provide photo updates of our time together along with any other needed updates upon my arrival and departure. My little 14 lb chihuahua mix loves making new friends, so if your dog is friendly with other dogs and wants a companion on walks or otherwise, we can discuss my little guy tagging along if that’s something you would want.
