“I felt good about leaving Max with Erin. Her home is clean and free of potential hazards. There is plenty of space for my dog to roam in a fenced in environment and a cool place to potty in the back and sides of her home. She kept me thoroughly updated through out the day with pictures and messages. I would use her services again.”
“I had more pictures of Socks starting 5 minutes after I dropped him off. He was so happy and loved for the weekend. There were walks and hikes, just so much fun stuff! I also needed to add another night, and Ella was so very gracious to keep him. I will definitely book again.”
“I contacted Matthew at the very last minute to see if he could board my dog starting that very same day - 3 hours notice. My husband and I were at a pet friendly vrbo with our two dogs and found out that they would only allow one. He got back to me right away and was able to accommodate me. He and his partner took in our rambunctious rescue Dachshund Hans and took excellent care of him all weekend. Hans has high energy and separation anxiety and they were undaunted by that. They have a lovely home with a big back yard and two adorable dogs of their own who were great playmates. Photos they sent showed fun times and some good cuddling with the humans. I can't recommend these gents enough and will always get in touch with them when we come to the Palm Springs area with our pooches.”
“Brandon is a total gem! He and Billy are both so kind and caring. My two pups took to them immediately and had a wonderful time. Brandon is a great communicator and provided timely updates. I had a little mix-up with my dates, and Brandon was so flexible and accommodating with the change. I can't recommend them enough and my two pups can't wait to stay with them again.”
“Jenna was wonderful with Grace. Grace was a little nervous at first but warmed up. Jenna even gave her a bath! She looks beautiful. Thank you Jenna. We will definitely call you again.”
“Lynn provided a welcoming place to stay for my dog. My dog is a rescue dog who has very little social time and can be defensive. Lynn was very proactive and Lynne’s dog Lucy was too. My dog, Isla, was able to stay with Lynne for two days. Isla was a very happy camper. I will say that Lynne receives 5 stars from me. I will recommend her to anyone looking for a person knowledgeable about pets who has the skills to make it a really great experience for your pet.”
“Brandon was very informative and always kept me updated about my dog canelo . He provided a lot of pictures during his stay. I would definitely book Brandon again ! Highly recommend”
“Sierra took great care of my dog! My dog is 10 years old and really prefers the company of humans to dogs. Having said that, my dog seemed to get along almost instantly with Sierra's dogs and she seemed to be relaxed and happy when I picked her up. Sierra has a great set up for dogs with a fantastic yard and a pool if your dog is a swimmer like mine. Dog heaven!”
“Julie was excellent! Charlotte had a great time came home exhausted from having so much fun! Great communication and easy going it was a wonderful experience! We would definitely recommend Julie and happily rebook with her if it works out again in the future!”
“We love Andranise and so does our dog, Elvis! Our senior boy stayed with her for the first time and she took great care of him. I would not hesitate to have him stay with her again.”
“Chyna gave Bentley a wonderful overnight! He got to play with some cool toys, had plenty of cuddles and belly rubs, and went walking! Chyna sent videos and pictures which we very munch enjoyed! I would highly recommend Chyna except if I did she wouldn't be available for us!❤️”
“Terry is the absolute best sitter. He is so caring and attentive, we couldn't have asked for a better human to care for our dog. Looking forward to having our pup stay with Terry again!”
“Jane was amazing. We felt that our dog was in good hands. We met her beforehand before we booked and again to introduce our dog before the actual sitting dates. She sent pics and constantly kept us updated on how our dog was doing with her. Excellent pet sitting experience.”
“Lindsay kept our Maltipoo for ten days. She was well fed, safe, and happy. Lindsay took her for a morning walk each morning. That is one of our puppies favorite things to do. We really appreciated receiving the photos and videos of our little love.”
About: I have taken care of dogs, cats, horses, and all sorts of animals since the age of 8. I have no children and my pets are my family. I would love to be there for your fur baby when you cannot and love on them as much as possible. I am a registered nurse with almost 10 years of experience and I can administer medications and take care of seniors. My current dog, Ace, is 11 years old and I’ve had him since 8 weeks old. He loves meeting new friends and loves both cats and dogs. I am a travel nurse and I’m currently taking some time off so I have plenty of time and flexibility to care for your pet. I am honest and reliable. My schedule is flexible. I have a huge heart and compassion for animals of any age and size. I am well versed in caring for small and large animals of all ages.
“Lauren was great! This was Tuckers first time with her and she quickly made us both feel very comfortable. She is very experienced with dogs and it shows. She has a great setup for the pups to play. Loved getting updates and Tucker was an exhausted sleepy boy after spending the weekend with Lauren!”

Angela is always such a pleasure to work with. Our dog Major has spent many boarding sessions each one week long. Our dog is always happy to go to her house and he has a great time. Angela sends pics and videos throughout the week and we feel very comfortable recommending her services.
We highly recommend Maggie. She provided photos frequently and kept us in the loop on daily activities during our time away from our dog. She (and her son) clearly both care a lot for the dogs they watch and are great people. We look forward to booking with Maggie again in the future.
Chyna gave Bentley a wonderful overnight! He got to play with some cool toys, had plenty of cuddles and belly rubs, and went walking! Chyna sent videos and pictures which we very munch enjoyed! I would highly recommend Chyna except if I did she wouldn't be available for us!❤️
Both my Boston terrier and golden retriever had an amazing time at Brent’s house! He kept me updated and sent lots of cute photos of the dogs swimming, playing fetch, etc. I’m so thankful he accommodated us very last minute! I would definitely trust Brent to watch them again! :)
Danielle is an amazing caretaker. Juniper was so happy and comfortable. The level of care exceeded all expectations! Just like Juniper, I was very happy and comfortable knowing that Juniper was well taken care of while I was traveling. I cannot recommend Danielle enough.
