“It's so great to be able to enjoy travel knowing your pets are getting the care they would get from us. Renee took such good care of them, and the photos were outstanding. How come I can't take photos that good? Communication was excellent. Updates were timely. Neighbors reporting meeting Renee on walkies and remarking about how personable she was, and how obviously she liked Peaches, the wonder dog. I will certainly use Renee again, and recommend her to anyone who wants a pet sitter who loves pets.”

“Kaylah stayed at my house and took care of my fur babies, all of them! She was on time arriving and followed each of my details regarding their park time (inside complex) and their feeding. Once I seen her taking them out at 6:00 AM each day, I was able to enjoy my time away. They warmed up to her and snuggled with her. I appreciate her care and I would use her again. Thanks Kaylah”

“I hired Kaylee to sit at my home with my Belgian Malinois with separation anxiety. I appreciate her quick responses thru the Rover App, and her willingness to arrive for an early morning appointment. We will definitely call Kaylee again in the near future.”

About: I am a full time resident of Idyllwild with a 1/4 acre fenced backyard and access through our property to the Ernie Maxwell Scenic Trail. Some visitors to Idyllwild don't bring their canine companions on vacation to the area because they are unfamiliar with the wildlife and rural mountain surroundings. I offer a safe alternative to leaving beloved pets at home, crated or alone in a motel or cabin while visiting the area. We have access to a fenced 2.5 acre private estate (a.k.a. doggie playground) in which we let our canine guests romp with my girl Beezie, and her pup Nella! Car rides, creek walks, walkabouts in town and on the Scenic Trail are options for daily activities. I will customize the visit to meet your requests. A prior Meet-n-Greet play date assures a positive doggie vacay for all of the pups. Only one canine family at a time is hosted. You are assured that your best friend is getting abundant attention and joyful exercise. We can't wait to welcome you to the mountain! I find 4 legged creatures to be the best company and enjoy interspecies relationships. Always honest and real... The more people I meet, the more I love all hounds and felines! Even the persnickety ones. At this time, due to my eldest hounds vulnerability, I am not hosting Rover guests in my home. However, I will be reinstating the boarding/daycare option in the future. I will care for your beloved animals with the same consideration. Thank you.

“Very informative. Goes above and beyond for your per!”

“Our older dog has become confused and anxious when we leave the house. Todd came to the rescue when we needed a night out. Will definitely be calling him again.”

“Ebonnie was great with our two pups! They are a bit rambunctious and she did well with them. She kept in touch while we were away and updated us when we asked. She is respectful and sweet. I already have her booked for a trip in September!”

Kristina C.

“Adam was able to accept a last minute overnight job which was a vacation-saver. He is the best dog sitter! He took Arnie on very long walks, followed all my instructions to a tee and was communicative with texts and pictures. He will be my go-to Rover sitter from now on!”

About: I've grown up caring for dogs in my own home and for my siblings, from strong, active breeds to smaller companion dogs. That experience has made me attentive, reliable, and genuinely passionate about dog care. As an online college student, my schedule is very flexible. I can adjust to meet pets' needs for walks, playtime, feeding, or overnight care, making sure they always get attention and consistency. My home is very pet friendly. I have a large, fully fenced yard where dogs can safely play and explore. I also have a crate available for dogs who are used to one, and plenty of space for them to sleep comfortably, they can sleep in my own room with me, or if they prefer privacy, I have two guest rooms just for them. For exercise, I can take them on walks around our quiet, spacious neighborhood to ensure they get plenty of activity and fresh air.

“Karaleah took care of our dogs on Thursday and Friday while we were busy with wedding events, and we couldn’t have asked for a better sitter! She was so loving, sweet, and gentle with both of them. Her calm and kind presence made such a difference, especially during a hectic time. She was patient, attentive, and made sure our pups were happy and well cared for. We’re so grateful for her help and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will treat your dogs like her own!”

“Michael has done a great job, watching my small pup who doesn't eat well and needs special care for 12 days! He sent me videos and pictures every day. And when I returned home Tiffany couldn't be more happy and excited, which means he took a really good care of her. If I ever need a Dogsitter I will definitely ask Michael.”

About: I've cared for dogs of all ages (horses too!) since I was a kid. My dogs are seniors so I understand their particular needs well. I'm currently freelancing from home part-time and will have plenty of time to care for and play with your pets. Walks are part of boarding, of course. I have a fenced yard and two friendly, calm dogs to keep your pets company. I give my dogs homemade organic treats and will adhere to all rules you have about play, treats, walks, etc.

“It was a real comfort to have Hayley house and dog sitting for us while we were all the way across the country. She sent pictures and answered messages very quickly. She also went the extra mile and even watered plants on hot days. Most importantly, we returned to two happy and healthy dogs. Will definitely call Hayley next time we're out of town.”

About: I have cared for large, medium, and small dogs for 15 years. I also have cat care experience. I studied animal science at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo, so I can also care for livestock and various species of animals more than cats and dogs as well. I have a BS degree in Animal Science and Agricultural Science, a master's in Agriculture and currently working on my doctoral degree. Currently, Fall 2026, for my day job I am a high school teacher who teaches classes in veterinarian sciences, livestock management, plant science and horticulture, floral design, and landscape design. I am enrolled in a doctoral program and beginning my dissertation work. I would like to help care for pets to help relieve stress and offer help to fellow pet owners. I care for pets across the Coachella Valley. I have a fenced backyard. One friendly dogs to keep your furry friend company. I can crate. Can crate and walk as well as play every 2 hours. Reach out if you have specific requests.

About: Ever since I can remember, myself as well as my family have loved and enjoyed dogs and they have always been a part of our family. I got my first puppy when I was 12 years old. She was a rescue and I had her until I was 26 years old. Her name was Molly. We had many other dogs during that time. My sister's and I were who cared for them all. Although this is my first time running a business caring for dogs, I have taken care of dogs most of my life. Some people call themselves a "people person". I call myself a "dog person". I have always had a natural ability to connect with dogs. Dogs have always loved being with me. I care for them as if they were a child of mine. As I always have said, the more I get to know people; the more I love dogs! I'm currently a student at home so, I am available to give your pet my undivided attention. I treat all animals as if they are my own, like family. I love to spend quality time with animals. I also have good hygiene. I believe this is important because we all know how dirty animals can be. I am gentle and loving.
