About: I grew up on a farm in England with working dogs, which gave me a love for animals and led me to a life working professionally with them. After 30 of running my own pet care business in Los Angeles, I relocated to the Coachella Valley where I continue to walk, exercise, and socialize dogs, while also working as a dog trainer. I'm available Monday thru Friday from 7am until 5pm, so we can work out walks and visits depending on your schedule and your dog's needs. Your dog will always be walked on leash, with the exception of fenced dog parks. Dogs can be crated during transport, if that makes them more comfortable. With my many years of experience, I know exactly how to work with dogs with a focus on the safety, calm, and happiness of the animal.

Sarah was so friendly and had great communication. We felt at ease all day knowing that she was taking care of Theo. Plus, when she came for a meet and greet with Theo the day before, Theo was so excited to meet her and couldnt stop kissing her. Pups know best ❤️

Michael was great to work with and grateful for his help all week because of my inability to walk our dog due to a foot injury. He responds right away and always punctual. A really nice guy, too, and our dog was excited to see him coming up the walkway. Thank you, Michael!

Hello my name is Michael Jennings and I would like to recommend Lydia S. as a pet sitter for your pet sitting service. Back in March 2024 Lydia took care of my cat Hana while my condo was being remodeled. She did an excellent job of caring for my cat, she even sent me frequent status updates and pictures on how she was doing. Lydia is a lovely young woman who has a passion for pets and I believe she would make an excellent addition to your team.

This was my first time booking with Julie and I’m so glad I did! We needed someone to come take Winnie for a quick walk and she responded immediately and was here to pickup Winnie in a heart beat! Will definitely be booking again when needed. You could tell Julie is an experienced walker and dog lover. Our Winnie is very high energy and she handled it no problem. Thank you!!!!!

To whom it might concern, My name is Terri and I’ve known McKenna her whole life, and I can verify that she is so, so smart! She’s dependable and a great worker! She’s an animal lover to her core. I’m afraid she would adopt every sad and lonely animal she could, if she could. She’s had dogs, cats, chickens, a lamb and a calf at one point. Your animals are in the BEST hands they could be in when you’re away. Guaranteed. Terri

Brigitte has always taken such good care of my cat Chloe when I’ve been out of town. I trust her to stop by when she says she’s going to and to take care of Chloe as if she were her own. She has also taken care of my Mother‘s poodle François both at her house and my mom‘s house. Brigitte is consistently reliable and I highly recommend her services. Our pets just adore her and knowing their care is in such good hands brings incredible peace of mind.

About: I have taken care of large dog breads 80+ lbs for over 11 years. I am diligent about keeping dogs comfortable, whether it is walking, play or meals. I worked with small breads such as poodles and terrier’s to standard poodle care for competition. I love their company and enjoy getting to know each pet’s personality. I work full time at the school district during the week, but I look forward to sitting on weekends/ holidays and overnight stays on weekdays/weekends. The backyard is fenced in providing safe secure space of play and exercise. There is a gated area for if a pet needs their space.

Lilly is an incredibly responsible pet sitter, and has been trusted by my family for the past four years. We have a particularly needy cat: a 40 lb Maine Coon with a rare disorder that causes painful lesions in and around his mouth. Because of the pain he experiences, he can be incredibly skittish and aggressive at times. Lilly has been the greatest and most reliable pet sitter we have had, and was instantly able to connect with our cat. Additionally, we have a small dog named Lucca who also has very specific needs (diet, exercise, bathing, etc.) and Lilly has always made us feel confident and secure in her ability to care for both of our animals any time we need her to. She has also watched our home several times, for up to 5 nights at a time. Each time, we've come back to our home cleaner than we left it. Lilly is fantastic, and we highly recommend her services.

Excellent! Mara is the real dog whisperer! And we’re so happy too with excellent communications, punctuality, and true interest in our pup’s welfare. Based on her observation, we made our subsequent appointments for Bearie’s walks to much earlier in the day due to harsh heat we’re having. We appreciate these concerns which speaks to “what’s best for Bearie” is Mara’s operative concern. Good job Miss Mara!
