Cat Sitting in Palm Desert

“McKenna was great with my kitty! Dropped in for 3 visits while out of town, always got great photos and updates. Will definitely book with her again for all future trips!”

About: Caring for animals comes naturally to me. I have lifelong experience with both dogs and cats, including pets with different personalities, energy levels, and needs. I’m dependable, patient, and always focused on making pets and their feel happy and secure. I know how it feels to be worried about your fur baby while you are away and I’m here to help! I work part-time, mainly mornings until around 3:30, leaving early mornings, afternoons, and evenings wide open. Outside of work, I’m fully committed to your pet’s care, offering flexible availability and devoted attention whenever you need. I treat every pet like they’re my own and always focus on making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I pay close attention to routines, behavior, feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special needs. I’m patient, responsible, and experienced with both calm pets and pets that may need extra care or attention.

About: With over 11 years of hands-on cat care experience, I bring a depth of understanding that goes far beyond basic sitting. My background includes working with animal shelters, caring for energetic kittens, supporting senior cats with special routines, and raising my own three cats, each with their own unique needs and personalities. This range has taught me how to read feline behavior, adapt quickly, and provide calm, confident care in any situation. I’m especially attentive to routine, cleanliness, and emotional comfort. Whether a cat needs gentle patience, playful engagement, or quiet companionship, I tailor my care to what helps them feel safest and most at ease. I treat every cat as an individual—not a checklist—and my goal is always for pet parents to feel complete peace of mind knowing their cat is in experienced, compassionate hands. I’m a full-time pet sitter, which means your cats receive my full attention—not rushed visits squeezed around another job. My flexible schedule allows me to spend quality time with your pets, closely monitor their needs, and adjust care as needed to keep them comfortable and stress-free. I strive to maintain a peaceful, secure environment in your home so your pets feel comfortable and stress-free. From following routines to keeping your space tidy and secure, safety and trust are always my top priorities.

“Carol is the Best of the Best! She took epic care of my three cats while I was away taking care of my beloved. Her twice daily videos and pics, notes, eased my mind so much because I could tell my babies were not only in great hands, but loved also. 10/10!”

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We can’t thank Holly enough for stepping in at the last minute to take care of our pets! She was incredibly understanding and accommodating with our sudden trip, and her communication was excellent from start to finish. We really appreciated how attentive she was to all of our pets’ needs and how she kept us updated with messages and photos—it gave us such peace of mind while we were away. Everything was perfectly handled, and our pets were clearly happy and well cared for. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and professional pet sitter!”

“We got to come home to a happy dog after Kristina’s drop by visit with Chunk for some outdoor play time, potty break, and meal time. Very satisfied with her service and great communication.”

“Ana was wonderful with our senior cat Lizzy. She was a great communicator providing comforting updates while we were away for the holidays. I trust her completely and would absolutely use her again. Thank you Ana.”

“If you have a complicated household that involves many instructions, Shayna can handle it! Shayna took care of my two dogs for 3 days. Now, these dogs are spoiled and old, so they have a routine – and on top of it all, need to go out frequently for breaks. Fortunately Shayna lives only a couple of miles away and was able to let these two little dogs keep their routine. She visited four times per day. And each time she gave me a little update with a photo of them. Their routine with food is a bit complicated too, with both kibble and chicken and pills. I wrote out the instructions and she followed through perfectly – my dogs were not traumatized when I got home. One, just about didn’t care if I was back….the other was so happy to see me, but she’s not a dog that likes other people. That’s another thing, she was able to deal with this one dog’s head problems. She was an abused dog and she really is only our family dog. After a couple of years, she doesn’t mind the groomer. But anyway Shayna took pictures of Prim too, and she was just fine. Bottom line, don’t worry….Shayna is smart, very kind and very responsible. I will not hesitate to ask her to help us again! She will put your mind at ease that you left your fur babies at home.”

“I had Lucy come and care for my dogs when I travelled to Palm Desert with my dogs for Coachella weekend. She visited during the long days away and gave them a potty break, some play time, and dinner. Lucy gave me thorough updates every day, sent multiple pictures, and was able to feed all the dogs. I am a professional dog trainer (CPDT-KA) and after meeting Lucy I knew she had natural dog skills and my three were in good hands! One of my dogs is pretty nervous so I was concerned about how it would go, and if she would eat or react to Lucy. They were in a new environment, without their owner, and having a new person come in. Lucy handled it perfectly and got the job done, she even won my nervous girl over :)”

“Kyla watched our dogs and kitty for two and a half days, and she did an excellent job! I’m so thankful that I met her. She was punctual, responsible, and very respectful of our home. She also spent lots of time with our pets. My dogs are extra shy, but in a short time they came to love her. She has a calm and sweet presence that just fit my dogs and cat perfectly. She sent me plenty of updates and pictures, and I really appreciated that. I’d hire her again in a second. She’s great!”

About: I got my first pet when I was six years old. Since then, I have been taking care of dogs, cats, rabbits, hamsters, and fish for over 15 years. My friends, family, and neighbors rely on me to feed their pets, take them on walks, bathe them and even trim their nails, if needed. I love all pets and enjoy taking care of them as if they were my own. I can fit your schedule anytime with a week’s notice. For walks, mornings are more favorable due to weather conditions. For emergency care, one day advance would be preferred. I have a fenced yard where your dogs can play outside on the grass or they can enjoy indoor play with cool A/C. They’ll have their own room or they can be crated if needed.

“We had Rhondee drop in our dog while we were away and we came home and all was well and great with our dog Cajun. Rhondee was able to accommodate the drop in times that we requested, which was much appreciated! Would certainly recommend to anyone else!”

About: I have taken care of pets for 20+ years. I am gentle, kind and reliable. I will always take great are of your furry friends I am self employed. I have a flexible work schedule.

“So happy to book Bailey! She has great communication, always kept me updated, and was very easy to work with. Everything felt smooth and stress-free, and I could tell my pet was in good hands. Highly recommend!”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs of all sizes since I was a young girl, and animals have always been a natural part of my life. I’ve rescued dogs throughout my adulthood and loved every breed, personality, and quirky soul that’s come my way. Even cats — despite my allergies — tend to walk right up to me, which always makes me smile. I’ll still care for them with love (and a little help from allergy meds). I’m an empath with a deep, intuitive connection to animals. Nervous, shy, senior, or sensitive pets usually relax around me quickly. I read their body language, respect their boundaries, and create a calm, predictable environment where they feel safe and understood. I also bring professional caregiving skills to my pet care. As a retired massage therapist and longtime caregiver, I can offer gentle pet massage, calming touch, and support for aging, compassionate end of life care and support or anxious dogs. I’m comfortable providing wound care, administering medications, and injections for diabetic animal when needed. What truly sets me apart is the combination of lifelong love of animals, my experience, intuition, and genuine compassion. Your pet will be cared for with patience, warmth, and the same steady presence I’ve brought to every animal I’ve loved. I create a calm, predictable environment where pets feel safe, understood, and cared for in my Home or Yours. I will respect your home, your space, your privacy and the trust you placed in me.

“Mara was very consistent and communicative with us. She showed great care for our baby boy Dip and we definitely will keep her in mind for the future!!”

“Katie is so amazing in caring for Dexter, my cat. She is loving and playful with him and the photo updates make me feel reassured that he is being taken care of so well! ❤️❤️❤️”

“We are so glad to have found Tyler! She took great care of our boy during a drop-in visit. She played with him and took him on a nice walk. She is very responsible, provides great communication and has been very reliable. We plan to reach out to her for more dog care and cannot recommend her enough!”
