Pet Sitting in Joshua Tree

“Jenny did a great job coming by and checking on our cats. she was prompt, reliable and sent multiple pictures of my kitties looking happy and comfortable with her. she was super helpful and communicative and we would definitely use her again!”

Caroline K.

“Aurora is great! She sent picture and video updates of my senior dog while we were out of town. Her communication is top notch and she is very sweet with animals and people alike. 10 out of 10, I will be using her for all of our pet sitting needs and will be recommending her services to anyone in need! Thank you for providing such excellent care to my dog and easing all of my concerns.”

Glenn D.

“Greg clearly took excellent care of our cat. He sent lots of updates, and she was jumping into his lap by the end. Things were kept very clean, and we so much enjoyed the photos and videos. We would definitely hire Greg again.”

Cathy D.

“BReN saved me when I had to leave home last minute due to a family emergency and I needed someone to check on my baby girl Xochitl while I was away. I received several photos of kitty being very social and affectionate upon BReN’s arrival. She also made sure to leave extra food and water since the power had gone out in other parts of town due to high winds. I’m so grateful to have someone who cares so much about animals who can care for Xochitl.”

Diana R.

“Wonderful! Highly recommend. We will be using Basia again. I’m thoroughly impressed by her and how well she cared for our animals. Absolutely amazing job.”

Alice E.

“Beverly was an awesome cat sitter for our drop in visits. She cared exactly what we care about with our cats - them staying safe and comfy! She was thorough in locating them and providing photos and updates. We’ll definitely be partnering again!”

Lily S.

“Tom went above and beyond with my ill-tempered, picky cat over a holiday week. He communicated consistently and responded quickly, and best of all somehow transformed my naughty Grinch into a jolly Santa Claws during his visits. Thank you Tom for your empathy and attention to detail!”

Yeon L.

“Juliann was amazing and our pup immediately loved her! Will definitely continue to have her take care of Aggy in the future.”

About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was 13. I’ve volunteered at no kill shelters and kennels for 5 years. I currently have two fur babies now (both rescues) and my mother always had about 8 in her home. I’ve taken care of dogs from tea cup to Great Danes. I also have cared for dogs with diabetes, who were blind, and have cerebral palsy. I work full time (Mon -Fri) in the lower dessert, live in JT. I’m home around 4/4:30pm each day. Of course your baby will be the first one that I see once I’m off of work and before I go into work. As a dedicated pet caregiver, I prioritize each animal's well-being and comfort while following your specific instructions. I ensure they receive regular feeding, fresh water, and ample exercise through walks or playtime. I’m attentive to their unique needs, whether it’s administering medication, maintaining a routine, or simply providing companionship. I also keep their environment clean and safe, giving you peace of mind while you’re away. Your pets are not just animals; they’re family, and I’ll treat them with the love and care they deserve!

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.

“Liz is the best, and our kitty is always in good hands! She always goes beyond the call of duty to ensure our kitty and home are in good hands! Can't recommend her enough.”

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.

About: I have taken care of pets since an early age. We have had surgeries, Iv care and shot and medication experience. I have trained puppies and dogs and shown dogs that have won titles. I currently do pet and people portraits while I’m pet sitting and the dogs are napping. I have an elderly dog and two younger Labradors that live here. I also have vegetable gardens, gardens and lawn I water every 3-4 days. Taking care of cuddlers is my life💕 I have 7 snake wire fenced yards. Two have lawns. One yard with a large patio and dirt and shade and the other areas have sawdust so the dogs won’t burn their feet. I also have three larger areas for winter runs. The fencing is 6’ high except in the large lawn area. It is 4.5’.

About: I've been taking care of animals for my entire life. Outside of having my own fur babies (two cats, and one dog), I have frequently cat/dog sat for friends, family, and neighbors! I have a deep love, and understanding for animals. I am ready to get to know your pets, and learn about their own unique characteristics and needs. I am able to provide feeding, grooming, exercise, quality time and any medical accommodations they may need. I'm currently taking some time off from my regular employment, so I have an abundance of free time to care for and spend quality time with your pets! I will utilize any instructions given, as well as my own intuition when it comes to the safety and well being of your pet. Whether we are at your home or playing at a park, your pet will be in very safe hands. I am also prepared to have active communication with you in regards to your pets, and how they are doing.

About: I have grown up with dogs my entire life. Walking, feeding, young puppy experiences included. I have many friends who have dogs of their own and ask me to walk/feed often. I have one doggo, Iroh (American staffy, 4 y/o), who likes to play but will take the hint if your pup does not. I work from home so am flexible in schedule and take lots of outside breaks. I look forward to hanging out with your pets! I work remotely so am flexible when it comes to watching/walking your pup. I take at least two walks with my dog during working hours. My pup has free range of my apartment (couch and bed too of course) and will allow yours the same, if that is your preference!

About: I have extensive experience taking care of pets whether they be my own or thru pet sitting. Most of my pet sitting experience is thru trusted house sitters where I have the bulk of my reviews. Please message me for more details! 🥰 I’m able to go on long walks, transport in my car, play and everything else your pet may need. I love taking pictures and can update daily if requested. I work remotely from home so I’m around my pets all day! This also gives me plenty of time to do drop in visits and walks at any part of the day. I adhere to all guidelines in the care guide provided by owners or just their verbal or written directions on how to care for their pet. My own pets over the years I would take on regular walks daily, feed them daily and bathe them twice monthly. I understand that some animals need to build trust with strange humans and I’m extremely patient and I don’t get alarmed easily as I’ve had so much experience with animals especially reactive ones.

About: I’m the ultimate dog lover! Every shape, size, personality.. I want them all! I have learned so much over a lifetime spent with pups. I’ve had many dogs (the biggest to the littles) and have been a dog mom for 20. I started fostering after my little one passed and now dog sit for pleasure 😸. When a pup comes to visit we play, explore and relax. They feel at home quickly and for those who have a harder time getting adjusted we have a peaceful setting and relaxing music to ensure maximum comfort 🐶 my home is an extension of their homes and they are free to explore at their own pace. 🙂 I am highly experienced at giving meds and diligently watching seniors who are prone to injuries or in very delicate situations. I work from home and can tend to your pup at a moment’s notice. They will have the run of the house as I guide them from my workstation or couch while listening to music. We take walks and have a relaxing day for the most part! I start by giving them some space to feel comfortable and take their lead with safety in mind. See what makes them Comfortable or uncomfortable and give them the space to be at peace, if that means playing, cuddling, taking their space. I have an entire home for them to explore and relax in without having to worry.
