We were able to book Jackson last minute when our original fell through! Our guy seemed to have a ton of fun and had no problem going right into Jackson’s house! We would for sure use him again if needed!

About: I am a lifelong animal lover with hands-on experience. I grew up on a ranch with dogs, horses, and an entire 'ark' of farm animals. I offer pet sitting in my own home. I can take more than one dog if they are from the same owner. I currently do not have pets so my time is entirely devoted to your pet. I also offer care for your home should you need someone to drop in to water plants, view property, and gather mail. Happy to meet you and your pup for introductory welcome. "I currently enjoy a fully flexible schedule, making me available whenever you need me most — including last minute requests, weekends, and holidays. Whether you need recurring visits or spontaneous coverage, I am ready and happy to help." "Your pet receives attentive, loving care in my home with regular walks and potty breaks. I follow your exact routines, schedules, and habits while adding an extra layer of love."

Jennifer was an amazing dog sitter for Coco. Jennifer’s dog, Stella, was playful, and the two dogs got along wonderfully. It was great knowing Coco had a fun companion to play with. I can tell Jennifer was very attentive and made the whole experience easy and stress-free. I could tell Coco was well loved and cared for. I highly recommend Jennifer to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter!

The pups were happy to see Sierra and family when we arrived and just as happy at the end of the day! We are practicing for a longer stay and I’m completely comfortable with leaving the 3 pups with her. I’m so grateful to have found Sierra!

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.

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.

About: I've been caring for pets for over 10 years, and it's genuinely one of my favorite things to do. In that time, I've looked after just about every kind of animal you can think of — dogs and cats of all ages, puppies, seniors, small mammals, birds, reptiles, and more. The only ones I haven't worked with are horses! I'm comfortable with medication administration (pills, liquids, eye drops, injections), special needs care, and adapting routines for pets who need a little extra patience. I've cared for rescue dogs still learning to trust people, helped a senior dog through a UTI by spotting the symptoms early and coordinating with the owner, and stayed calm when a dog in my care was unexpectedly attacked by another dog on a walk — I got him to the vet quickly and he made a full recovery. I don't have pets of my own right now, but on most days I'm out walking, feeding, or hanging out with someone else's. Your pet will get attentive care, plenty of affection, and an honest set of eyes on how they're doing day to day. If you need your dogs walked Monday through Friday, I will gladly try to accommodate my schedule for you. Happy to help on the weekends if I can! I do my best to make your pets feel comfortable with me and treat them with kindness. I believe in being patient with the pets I look after.

We are vacationing for 2 months in the Palm Desert area and needed to find a good dog sitter for our Labrador for a few days and a couple overnights. We found Tanya!! She is great with our dog (more on that) and even greater with us and our sporadic schedule. It has been so easy to schedule with Tanya. She has been very accommodating as we don’t always know what time we will get back to pick up our girl and Tanya has been very flexible. As for our dog’s experience, it’s clear she loves “getting to go” to Tanya’s. When we get out of the car, she runs to the door and wags her tail until Tanya opens the door. Then the fun begins!! Tanya has truly enhanced our vacation and our dog’s as well!!

I felt really comfortable leaving Aya with Jackson. He is clearly a very experienced dog sitter and I couldn’t have been happier with his service. He also kept me updated throughout my dog’s stay which was great. I will 100% contact Jackson the next time I am in the area.
