Rich is amazing! This is second time he helped with our two Burmeses cats. Rich feed them medications and food twice a day on time. Rich was attentive, easy going and responsive. We definitely ask him to help out again.

About: As the former Education Director at a local Animal Shelter, I met with pets and animal lovers all over the Coachella Valley, providing training in loving, compassionate pet care. From wild animals to newborn litters, dogs and cats, I have worked with all types of animals, and I love and respect them all. I specialize in special needs pets, including elderly pets and pets with fear issues. I am mature, responsible and am singularly focused on giving your pet the time and attention it deserves. Let’s arrange for me to meet with your pet today. I’m available when you need someone. I’m retired so I’m never in a rush to get back to work. I have the time and patience to give your pet the attention that it deserves. I treat your home like it’s sacred - I don’t touch anything that’s not directly related to properly caring for your pet. I’m also very neat so expect me to thoroughly clean up after myself and your pet.

About: Hi, I’m Jodi! I’ve been a animal lover ever since I was a child. I always had a passion for them. I'm a veterinary assistant with almost 5 years of experience with handling fur babies. I offer daily walks, drop-in visits, and over night stays. I'm comfortable with all sizes, big or small, dogs and cats. I treat every pet I care for like one of my own—with patience, love, and lots of attention. Let me know how I can help you and your furry family feel at ease while you're away!

Kevin watched my cat for a week and did a superb job! The communication was constant, and he went above and beyond to ensure my cat was safe in the house on these hot summer days. He's a sitter I will definitely call again when I need services. Thanks Kevin !

Briana is just wonderful! It’s always nerve racking looking for a new sitter. The cats clearly connected with her. Briana is thorough and very reliable. I especially enjoyed her detailed summary of each visit. Briana is now my go-to for Theo and Maggie.

Scott did a great job caring for my cat Smokey while I was away. Smokey can be slow to warm up to people, but he opened up to Scott quickly and was playful and talkative. Smokey had a little digestive upset the day before I was leaving on my trip, so Scott took care to send me details on his eating & litter box findings so I could stay updated which helped me relax! Scott is kind, caring and paid attention to the details. Things were tidy when I got home and Smokey was relaxed and happy. Will definitely book Scott again in the future!

About: Hi Pet Owners! I have a plethora of experience caring for dogs (and cats) of all ages and sizes, from the tiny toy breed, to the Great Dane. I grew up with dogs, worked in a veterinary clinic, and own my own fur babies. Through these experiences, I bring years of knowledge caring for pups. Most recently, I have been a pet sitter on the Rover app, caring for pets throughout the Palm Springs area. This has included boarding at my house, house sits, and lots of dog walks! Through my experience on Rover, I have learned how to manage all sorts of personalities, dietary restrictions, medication administrations, and every other special pet need imaginable! I'd be thrilled to help you and your pet out in the future. I work from home, so I'm here during the day to care for the animals. I'm available 7 days a week to care for pets. I have a fenced-in yard. I have 2 golden doodles of my own who are friendly and have experience meeting new friends and sharing their mom! I have crates and can separate pets if needed.

About: I have owned 6 dogs through my lifetime, two boxers (Chica and Bella), one fox terrier (Jack), a black mouth cur (Kimber), A pit bull mix (Charlie) and a one eyed Chihuahua (Zoe). I also owned a couple of fish (Cheeto and Elvis) as well as a ferret (also named Jack). I worked as a kennel technician, groomer (I bathed, blow dried and clipped nails only, I did not cut hair) and a doggy daycare counselor as well! I know how to feed, water, walk, bathe, dry and give medications. My love for animals has always gone above and beyond, they deserve nothing less🩷 I have a lot of free time and a goal of starting dental school once I can afford it! If I can reach that goal by meeting and caring for your fur babies, it will be a blessing. I’m available anytime from 8:30 am to 10 pm any day of the week or weekend. I do ask for a 3-4 notice in advance for appointments (scheduling or canceling) please and thank you! For coming to a clients home, I always ask questions and for detailed instructions of pet care. I will follow the schedule, measurements and rules made by the owner to a T. I make sure dogs are being well supervised as well as lots of pets and play time! I am able to take them on walks, give them baths, play, crate and respect the dog (or cat) and owners boundaries. Side note: I cannot do boarding in my own home due to roommates and their pets.

I knew our cats were in good hands with Molly all week long! We were away for a trip and she was reliable and communicative the whole time, I didn't need to worry about a thing. Plus our normally reserved cat walked right up to her for a nose boop when they initially met--a terrific match!
