Highlights
Pet care experience
Animal Care & Training Professional
As the former Education Director at a local No-Kill Animal Shelter, I met with pets and animal lovers all over the Coachella Valley, providing training in effective, but compassionate pet handling. I have worked with all types of animals, and I love and respect them all, but I have a deep love of timid and fearful dogs. It’s very gratifying working with frightened animals and helping them to develop their confidence. I also have expertise in special needs pets, including elderly pets, pets with fear issues and post-surgery pets. I am mature, responsible and am singularly focused on giving your pet the time and attention it deserves. Let’s arrange for me to meet with your pet today.

Safety, trust & environment
I treat your home like it’s sacred - I don’t touch anything that’s not directly related to properly caring for your pet. I’m also very neat so expect me to thoroughly clean up after myself and your pet.
Ratings and reviews
Excellent as usual! CJ even offered to clean around my litter box to help keep area clean! Excellent Service. One of a KINDA!
Thank you so much CJ, we really appreciate all the effort and will consider booking you in the future.
CJ does a great job caring for our two shy cats. She has good ideas on how to approach them and we really enjoy and appreciate the notes she sends for their "report card". We hope to use CJ in the future anytime we are away from home.
Absolutely the Best Person for the Job. CJ is amazing at communication and caring for my animals. I would not have anyone else in my home for this service. ! Thank You!
CJ did a great job of visiting my 2 cats. She sent updates daily and I could tell Pepe and Penelope made a new friend!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ If Rover Had a Hall of Fame, CJ Would Be the First Inductee. Simply the Best Pet Sitter I've Ever Experienced. There are good pet sitters, there are great pet sitters... and then there's CJ. As a devoted dog parent, leaving Yoshi with anyone is never easy. He's family, and I don't trust just anyone with his happiness or well-being. From the moment CH stepped into our lives, every worry disappeared. She didn't just watch Yoshi, she built a genuine bond with him, loved him like he was her own, and gave him the kind of care every pet parent hopes for but rarely finds. Every update she sent filled my heart with joy. The photos captured more than moments, they captured trust, happiness, and the unmistakable look of a dog who felt completely safe, loved, and at home. I found myself smiling every time I heard from her because I knew Yoshi wasn't just being cared for... he was thriving. When I returned home, it was obvious how much love and attention he'd received. He was happy, relaxed, confident, and completely himself. That's the greatest compliment any pet sitter can earn. CJ’s kindness, professionalism, dependability, and genuine love for animals shine through in everything she does. She doesn't simply provide a service, she gives pet parents the priceless gift of complete peace of mind. I happily left her a well-deserved tip because exceptional people deserve to be recognized. In all honesty, no tip could truly reflect how grateful I am for the care she gave Yoshi. If you're searching for someone to trust with your beloved pet, stop scrolling, you've already found the best. CJ is the kind of person who reminds you that there are still incredibly compassionate people in the world. I would book her again without a second thought, and I hope she knows just how much her care meant to both Yoshi and me. CJ, thank you for loving my best friend as if he were your own. On my next trip, I can't imagine leaving Yoshi with anyone else.
