House Sitting in Palm Desert

“Desiree loves animals and has owned cats since she was a little girl. She is so good whether they are snuggle bugs and velcro or. more independent or even sassy. Every cat is wonderful to her. She is very trustworthy and respectful of the home and is communicative giving updates and pictures to give us peace of mind while she watches our cat. We miss Callie when we are gone, but the pics help! We highly recommend Desiree for your petsitting needs.”

“It's so difficult when you have a new pup in the house: the dog is still getting used to new surroundings and can easily become fearful when the new "hooman" is away for longer than usual. Matthew stepped in for me and Buddy felt immediately comfortable with him. I returned to no separation issues at all. Matthew went above and beyond while I was away. He is very calm and that rubbed off on Buddy. My Buddy just LOVES Matthew!”

“Viviana was an amazing house/pup sitter! She updated us every day with photos and videos, and made sure our pup was spoiled and well taken care of while we were gone for 10 days. She's very communicative and responsible, and left the house clean/tidy. I would highly recommend booking her for house/pup sitting!”

“Mackenzie was amazing with my beagles. My Lily is t friendly with most people and she immediately warmed up to Mackenzie. My home was in perfect condition and my babies were obviously lives and well taken care of for the 3 days I was away. Definitely rebooking her!”

“Desiree did an amazing job looking after our little guy. She met with us prior to watching him in our home and eased his nerves. We look forward to working with Desiree again.”

“Our dogs loved Kimberly from the moment that they met here. She is truly the best sitter for two dogs with way different personalities. She kept in touch with darling photos, and the dogs were sorry to see her leave. Our house was spotless and the bed linens were changed. We are so grateful to be able to leave our four legged family with such a wonderful kind person. We can't thank her enough.”

“I have been a veterinarian for 40 years . Suzann has been a client, friend and business associate for over 20 years. She has owned a pet shop and was an excellent groomer and business woman. I also have traveled with her many times and she is a kind, loving, responsible person that is a joy to be with. She will take excellent care of any family member with whom she is entrusted.”

“I can't recommend Jon enough, He took exceptional care of my dog and home while I was away. Not only did he ensure that all of my pooch's needs were met, but he also went the extra mile to keep my home tidy and secure. It was such a relief to know that everything was in capable hands, allowing me to not worry during my time away. He's the first person I'll call the next time I need a pet sitter. Thank you, Jon, for your help!”

“After a number of bad experiences with other Rover sitters, we were grateful to come home to no issues after doing a one night overnight. Thank you, Caitlin!”

“Csilla is fabulous! Chelsea loves her and warmed up immediately. She is very attentive to the pickiest feeding and treat schedule and goes above and beyond. We are looking forward to the next trip so Chelsea can spend time with her new favorite sitter.”

“We had Rui booked for August 17-26 for a long time. As we’re packing for our trip, word comes that a hurricane is coming on the 20th! Rui took great care with our dog (as usual) but the care and effort he put into “battening down the hatches” was above and beyond. I can’t say enough about how he made sure our dog and house weathered the storm. This was the longest we had been away from our dog, who usually experiences some anxiety when we are away. But it was clear from the images Rui sent and, more importantly, our dog’s happy, carefree demeanor when we got home that he had a great, anxiety-free time with Rui. We are so grateful to have found Rui!”

“Samira was amazing with our 15 yr old cocker spaniel (who is on 5meds day and night) and cat. She stayed in our home for a week while we went on vacation. Came home to happy pets and a clean house! I’m OCD that that says a lot! Will definitely be using her in the future.”

“My husband and I are so happy to have found Susan! We recently moved to La Quinta from Northern Cal and have been looking for reliable, kind help for our 2 young cats - our babies! Susan is lovely and left our place spotless, we could tell our girls were well taken care of and it was comforting to go out of town and receive her updates and photos (and she was understanding that I’m an overly loving new pet parent lol). Hopefully she is available when we go out of town next time!”

“Crystal went above and beyond our expectations!!! She constantly gave us updates and plenty of photos of our dogs. I had never tried Rover and tried it in a pinch and would highly recommended how easy and safe it was to use the app BUT again I must say how great Crystal was and would use her again for sure!”

“This was the first time we were leaving our 2 French Bulldogs in someone’s care. Kat did everything to make us feel comfortable and secure with our decision. From supplying references to meeting with us twice prior to watching them to make sure our needs and expectations were going to be met. She ran our energetic one, and gently walked our slug. At night she snuggled and they all watched TV. We were able to enjoy our time away with peace of mind. She’s very caring and truly loved what she does. Will definitely use her again and highly recommend her.”

“Sarah is THE BEST! We hired her for the first time to stay with our pups for 3 days over the holidays. Our puppies love her! We will be booking Sarah for any future trips!”

“Ana Karen did a wonderful job taking care of our fur babies in our home. We have high expectations for the care given to our pups and Ana met all of them in a very caring manner. We would recommend her to anyone looking to find someone to watch a senior dog with specific needs….she was great and sent lots of pics. Thanks Ana!”

“Mikey was the best! My dog is scared of everything….and usually takes weeks to get used to anyone. Mikey was snuggled up with her within an hour. Thanks Mikey!”

“Shelby L. is my daughter. We have always had pets in our home and she has loved and cared for them with all her heart. As 12 year old, she and a girlfriend volunteered for the Pet Adoption at PetCo. near our home every weekend for two years; she loved it and wanted to bring home every cat or dog she met! And sometimes she did! Later, as a teenager, she worked for a couple who trained dogs and and had a kennel in their home; there she learned a lot about training them. From that job, she extrapolated their methods into her own kinder, firm handed, Alfa Mom methods. She is an incredibly patient, loving person who currently has two cats and a dog of her own.”

“Malia was very quick to respond to my recurring walk request and has been doing a great job with my very energetic golden retriever. She always takes pictures and provides updates after every walk. Malia is dependable and responsible and I would definitely recommend her for your dog walking needs!”
