About: I love pets and I’ve taken care of dogs for friends and family, along with my own pup for 10 years. Im also experienced with senior dogs. I work from home full-time, which makes it easy for me to adapt my schedule to pet sit on your preferred schedule. I’m also very punctual and great at accommodating your needs! I can pet sit at your home, vacation home, hotel, or wherever you might need me. For house/pet sitting, I will send a daily update/photos at the minimum, but can send more depending on your preferences. I’m here to ensure your pup is safe and well taken care of while you’re away! Please note that I require confirmation of flea preventative treatment before pet-sitting. I have a flexible, work-from-home schedule and no kids which allows me to have a very adaptable schedule to pet sit. I’m up early and adjust walk schedules based on temperature in the desert. I can do drop-in or pet sitting at your home. I’m very clean and tidy and will take care of your pets as if they were my own!
“We received a perfect dog walking service from Valerie while visiting Indio. Thank you, Valerie, for helping out our girl! Valerie is very professional, punctual, walked our dog more than the required time on every walk, and sent great pictures. After our meet and great we felt totally at ease and comfortable with the dog walking arrangement. Thanks again!”

About: I have had dogs and taken care of dogs since I was a kid. I love all creatures and will pamper your pup! I know how important it is for dogs to feel safe and cared for while their owners are away and will give your dog all the love and attention it needs! I have a very flexible schedule which allows me plenty of time to spend taking care of your pet. When I do work, it's only for a few hours at a time, so I can stick with your dog's routine for eating and walking and such. I have a fenced yard with a bit of grass and one small senior dog who gets along with dogs and cats. I don't mind dogs on the couch and we have a cute park down the road for walks and outside play time.

“Thanks for all the photos! And for describing her walk, I love feeling the energy of your story as if I was there. Means so much to us knowing we have someone we can trust. I’m also happy the cats are coming out to say hello to you too. Until next time!”


About: I’ve always felt drawn to animals, even as a toddler, and I’m grateful they have always been in my life one way or another. I grew up surrounded by dogs, cats, parrots, bunnies and I’m 200% comfortable around all types of animals, including yours! Most of my happiest memories of a child include being around dogs and I have continued to be involved in their care in professional as well as volunteer-based ways. I consistently donate my time to rescues by fostering them, setting up adoption events and volunteering at shelters. I’m also the kind of person who will stop to say hello to a dog walking past me in the street. I adopted my own five-year old rescue, Pippin, who LOVES other pups and is happy to keep them company with me when boarding a dog in our home. I’m an active individual…exercise is very important to me—both for myself and Pippin, and I am a great match for high-energy dogs. At a bare minimum (unless otherwise specified by the owner), I make sure we walk for at least an hour and if your pup needs more exercise, I am more than capable of exercising for multiple hours! I go above and beyond with communication by sending regular photo, video and text updates in real time so you know your pup is healthy, happy and secure when in my care. I also make sure I understand your pup’s usual schedule and then do my best to stick to their regular feeding times, activity times (and level) and play their favorite games. Does your pup like hiking? Great, because I do too! In short, I get to know my clients’ dogs’ favorite things to do and then make sure our time together is a healthy mix of the activities they enjoy. It can be difficult for a pup to trust a new person right off the bat so I take the time to earn their trust through belly rubs, ear scratches, cuddles and healthy treats. I have over two decades of experience caring for all types of breeds, temperaments and sizes, and I do whatever it takes to understand their quirks and then tailor my care to their specific needs. I work as a freelance copywriter but besides that my schedule is wide open for pet care during the evenings and on weekends. I have a student mindset and am always interested in learning as much as I can to provide your pup with the best care possible. Send me a message, I can’t wait to meet you!
About: Everyone thinks that they have the best dog.....and none of them are wrong. I'm definitely one of those people that prefers pets to humans, and I'd easily say my favorite pastime is rubbing a pups belly. I have grown up with dogs, and I come from a big dog person family. Our pets are definitely at the top in my family hierarchy. I just recently lost my two pups I’ve had since I was a teenager and I am overflowing with puppy love that I need to direct somewhere! I am so missing squishy doggo interactions! I work for myself and my schedule is up to me so I'm pretty flexible with time. I'm reliable, punctual, and diligent ! Looking forward to meeting your little munchkin! I work from home mostly and only ever leave for a quick errands or two. Usually I take the dogs with me when I can. I have three gates around my home and I’m in a gated community so my place is very secure. All doors are closed and windows are shut.
About: I own my own home in a beautiful community in Indio.My backyard is fully enclosed. Your pet will be welcomed and treated as a member of the family. I have owned and cared for dogs all my life...every breed, from small terriers to greyhounds! I work from home, therefore am able to give my full attention and presence to my "guests". Most recently, I spent the months of May and June in Seattle, where I cared for 3 dogs in different households. Each dog had their own unique, wonderful personality and I so enjoyed spending time and caring for them all! I live with Callie, my little mini Labradoodle...no small children, no cats...just us! I'm well versed in giving medication , both orally and via injection. I would love to care for your pet. About this sitter: I am a total dog lover, well-educated, own my own home and am very athletic and fit. Your pet will enjoy not only a comfortable home while you are away, but also have the fun of walks, hikes (if desired!) and tons of affection! If you would prefer to have your dog stay in his/her own environment, I would be happy to discuss a stay at your home. I have great references and you would enjoy the peace of mind of having your pup in their own environment with a well-qualified, reliable "surrogate mom"! Why I love dog sitting I've been a dog lover all my life and have owned dogs..large and small...throughout the years. I now own my little Labradoodle, Callie.
About: Hello! My name is Andrea and I’m here to offer you my simple services as a companion to your four legged friends and family in the hopes of getting them the best care possible. I’m located in a perfect epicenter of local parks, and a dog park with both large and small dog capabilities - all around than a 20 to 30 minute walk away. If dog parks aren’t to your pets fancy, I have a large fenced backyard for them to run around in under supervision, and can even set up a play pool for the heat. Out door activities not to your pets liking? Perfect, a day of cuddling inside or in bed is fine by me. If a home visit is more your style, or your buddy needs more intense one on one action — that’s fine as well, as I am more than willing to travel to give your pet the best personalized care possible. I have experience with puppies and kittens as young as a few hours old, and pets in their golden days who require a more delicate touch. Food or toy aggression? No biggie, every animal has their quirks - we can figure it out. I love any and all animals, and would love to be a stepping stone on your pets journey. As always, your health and that of your pet is of utmost importance so all safety precautions are taken to ensure no harm comes from giving your pet the care they deserve.

“The best! Shayna knows how to listen to my instruction & cautions then cares for my Frenchie genuinely-she communicates along the way to keep my worry & anxiety down. I feel so lucky to have her! She is a sweet, kind person & I highly recommend her”

“Ashley was amazing! We really appreciated her last-minute flexibility when our puppy desperately needed a walk after being inside all day while I was working. She was able to accommodate us on short notice, which was such a huge help. Our pup had a blast with her! Ashley was also very accommodating with our request to take her for an indoor walk since our dog is sensitive to the heat. She was communicative, reliable, and made me feel comfortable knowing our puppy was in great hands. We’re so grateful for her help and would definitely recommend her!”

About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and caring for them comes naturally to me. I have years of hands on experience with dogs of different ages, sizes, personalities, and energy levels. I’m comfortable with everything from puppies who need extra patience and structure to older dogs who may need a slower pace, medication reminders, or a little more reassurance. As a pet owner myself, I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else’s care. I pay close attention to each pet’s routine, personality, comfort level, and individual needs. I’m experienced with feeding schedules, walks, playtime, basic commands, crate routines, administering simple medications, and providing lots of love and companionship. I treat every pet as if they were my own and always want them to feel safe, relaxed, and cared for while you’re away. I’m dependable, attentive, patient, and happy to keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is in loving hands. Thank you! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I already prioritize time for walks, feeding, playtime, companionship, and plenty of attention throughout the day. My schedule allows me to be consistent and dependable, so your pet will never feel rushed or overlooked. I enjoy spending time outdoors, taking walks, and having animals nearby, so caring for pets feels like a natural and enjoyable part of my day. I am also flexible and happy to follow your pet’s usual routine as closely as possible, including feeding times, bathroom breaks, medications, exercise, and bedtime habits. My goal is to make your pet feel comfortable, loved, and secure while you are away. Thank you! Whether I am caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I do my best to keep their routine as familiar, comfortable, and stress, free as possible. I follow all feeding instructions, walking schedules, medication needs, bathroom routines, crate preferences, and household rules carefully. In my home, pets receive plenty of attention, affection, playtime, exercise, and a safe, welcoming environment. I make sure they have a comfortable place to rest and never feel overlooked or alone. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I am respectful of their space and focused on helping their pet feel secure in their familiar surroundings. I provide regular updates, photos, and messages so owners can feel confident that their pet is happy, safe, and well cared for. I treat every animal with patience, kindness, and the same love I would give my own. Thank you!

About: I’ve been a pet owner for most of my life, so caring for animals comes naturally to me. I understand that every pet has a unique personality, routine, and way of feeling secure. I take time to get to know each pet so they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their family is away. Whether they enjoy gentle walks, playtime, quiet companionship, or extra cuddles, I will provide the dependable and attentive care they need. After recently saying goodbye to my beloved dog of 12 years, I am not quite ready to welcome another puppy of my own. Caring for other people’s pets has become an especially meaningful way for me to continue sharing my love for animals. I understand how deeply pets are cherished, and I will care for yours with the same tenderness and attention I would want for my own. Since I work from home, I’m available any day of the week and have plenty of time to give your pet the attention, companionship, and affection they deserve. I believe every pet is unique, so I take the time to earn their trust, follow their routine, and make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away.

I follow your care instructions carefully, pay attention to each pet’s unique personality, and provide lots of love, patience, and companionship. I’ll also keep your home tidy and send regular updates so you always know how your furry family member is doing.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - La Quinta
Angelina responded quickly to my initial request for a meet & greet, which was a pleasant surprise after receiving no response at all from a number of other prospective walkers. My lab, Cali, and Angelina quickly bonded and we agreed to a 4 walks/week schedule. Cali clearly enjoys the hour long sessions with Angelina, arriving home afterwards nicely exercised & wanting a nap. Angelina is always on time and communicates clearly with any modifications to the schedule. We couldn’t be happier with the care & attention Angelina provides and strongly recommend her!
