Safety, trust & environment

We can brush your pet, give meds, prepare food, and feed/water your pet. We can crate your pets if they are crate trained. We can provide a warm lap to snuggle. If you have a fenced yard, we can play outside with your pet off leash. We can give walks on leash. We will work with your pet on simple commands if you would like.

Information Carrie G. would like to know about your pet

Please let us know if your pet has any special needs or behaviors. We've cared for special needs pets including elderly cats and dogs, pets with physical disabilities and pets with intense storm anxiety, reactivity and medical needs. These are not necessarily deal breakers but we would like to have a conversation in advance and be prepared to give the best care.

A typical day

It really depends on what your pet likes to do. If your pet is active and likes to play fetch, walk, run, go hiking, tug of war, etc. we can do that! If your pet is happy relaxing and watching TV we can do that too. We have three dogs with very different personalities. Our two two young dogs are energetic and need to exercise several times each day. Our elderly dog is very relaxed and prefers napping in the sun. Each pet is different.

Pet care experience

Hi, we’re John and Carrie! Husband and wife team providing professional pet sitting services in 29 Palms and the surrounding area. Our pet sitting services are done in your home, where your pets are most comfortable. Your pets’ safety and happiness are our top priorities. We've been a professional house and pet sitters for 6 years now. We both love animals and we often work as a team to give the best quality care possible. We've both cared for animals since we were kids. Carrie grew up on a farm with dogs, cats, fish, reptiles, pigs and cows. John grew up on an acreage with dogs, cats, reptiles, cows and chickens. As adults we raised five dogs from puppyhood. Two we cared for until their last days. We have three large dog friends right now, ages 13, 3 and 2. We're also experienced with birds and insects (ask us about our pet beetles!).

After a family emergency I scrambled to find a sitter last minute while I was in a different country. Carrie stepped in and took care of my three girls so effortlessly and intelligently I can't praise her enough. She was flexible, attuned to the needs of three very different dogs and I can tell from their photos they are absolutely comfortable. Would hire again without question.

My furr babies (rescues) loved Carrie right away. I was able to go on a last minute trip with my friends. I really appreciated the pictures and the overall communication. So glad we were able to meet and that we are close to each other!

Carrie was great. She helped us out at the last minute and took excellent care of our two kitties. Will definitely use Carrie again the next time we travel.

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
