I appreciate James' daily visits to care for my cats and ensure they are well-fed and their litter box is clean. It's such a relief to have someone I can trust to look after my pets when I'm unable to, and James was a great help.

I highly recommend Jon. He's very responsive to communication and good with my pets. He's responsible and showed up when he said he would. I'm so glad he was available both times we've needed a dog watcher. We very much appreciate him!!

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 !

About: I have hands-on experience providing reliable, loving care for dogs and cats, including feeding, walking, administering basic care routines, and maintaining a safe, calm environment. I prioritize each pet’s comfort, routine, and emotional well-being, treating every animal as if they were my own. I’m attentive to behavior cues, patient with all temperaments, and committed to keeping pets happy, healthy, and stress-free while their owners are away. Pet care fits into my daily and weekly routine as a consistent responsibility that I plan around other commitments. On a daily basis, I incorporate feeding, walking, playtime, and check-ins into structured time blocks to ensure pets stay on their normal schedule. Weekly, I schedule pet sitting jobs in advance, allowing time for longer stays, exercise, and maintaining routines like grooming or medication if needed. I prioritize reliability and make sure each pet receives focused attention without rushing or overlap in care. I care for pets in their home by maintaining their normal routine in a familiar, low-stress environment. I follow the owner’s instructions closely for feeding, walks, playtime, medication, and bedtime routines. I make sure pets feel safe and comfortable by giving them consistent attention, affection, and supervision. I also keep their space clean, including litter boxes or outdoor areas, and ensure fresh water is always available. I respect the home by keeping it tidy and secure, and I provide updates so owners have peace of mind while they’re away.

About: I have had a Yorkie my whole life and he is now 16 and has many health issues and has gone from fun and playful to slowly moving, providing the best diet and movement is necessary to allow pets of all ages to live their best lives. I have also taken care of all of my family pets from horses to dogs to cats. I have done many side jobs dealing with small chihuahuas to big boxers with big personalities. I ultimately love animals and want to be around them. I currently work full time but only work 5 hours max a day. I like to workout but can incorporate daily walks into this. I have wednesdays and Thursdays off every week. I can easily crate the dog if needed and have the beautiful las Palmas in my backyard for walks, I also have room for toys and for them to roam.

Jay was fantastic!! We had a last minute trip and she was able to accommodate our schedule with no problems l, even with very short notice. She dropped in on Tucker, played with him, gave him a good run around the back yard and fed him dinner. And she gave a little love to the kitties :-) A true animal lover, highly recommend Jay! She won’t let you down!!

Maureen did an amazing job with my shy anti social cat Sonny. It was clear that she really engaged with him because he had none of the "annoyed cat" attitude when I got home. I would gladly book her again, in fact I am after I post this review. If you need a great pet sitter, Maureen is the person!

About: I provide attentive, private pet care tailored to desert living, with hands-on experience in daily dog walking, in-home sitting, puppy care, and senior support. I actively manage heat, hydration, pacing, and paw safety, adjusting each walk to the season and the individual dog. I guide puppies with structure and consistency, support senior dogs with patience and medication awareness, and maintain calm, controlled walks using positive reinforcement. I limit the number of dogs in my care, offer private walks only, and treat every home with discretion and respect—delivering reliable, thoughtful care that keeps dogs safe, enriched, and owners completely at ease. I’m available Monday through Sunday, with regular hours from as early as 6 a.m. to as late as 8 p.m., and I offer flexibility to accommodate special scheduling needs when required. I prioritize safety, trust, and calm structure in every setting, whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home. I follow each dog’s routine closely, maintain a clean and respectful environment, and remain mindful of boundaries, belongings, and privacy at all times. I communicate clearly and consistently with owners, providing updates and transparency so they feel confident and informed. I move intentionally, reinforce positive behavior, and create a calm, secure atmosphere that allows dogs to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in their own space.

Eric was awesome! We were a bit nervous about using a dog sitter because we don’t do it very often, but we are traveling so it made sense. He made us very comfortable, and more importantly or dog absolutely loved him. He’s like the Mary Poppins of dog sitters - practically perfect in every way! We’ve already scheduled additional bookings.

We first got a meet and greet so Charlie could socialize with Christopher. We had a great time and were very satisfied with him. Christopher knows a lot about dogs and Charlie’s anxiety seems to calm down with him. We had our first pet sitting appointment and everything went great, we will definitely hire Christopher again.

We booked Nina to watch our two Morkie girls while we were in Palm Springs for a family vacation. We had a day trip planned to Disneyland and needed someone to watch the dogs since we were going to be gone 18 hours. Maizy and Millie immediately loved Nina when she came to meet them and we felt confident in having her take care of them. We got numerous pictures throughout the day and evening she was with them, as well as many messages. Nina was fantastic and helped us have a memorable day without worrying about our girls. I would recommend her without any hesitation! She even checked with me the next day to make sure Maizy was ok because she didn’t want to eat her dinner while Nina was with her. Nina was kind, caring, a great communicator and we felt she really cared about our girls!

We had set up a 30 minute meet and greet. He arrived on time.we sat and chatted. Romeo got up On the couch and laid beside him. He liked Kevin’s arm. We took a stroll in our community dog park. I think he was surprised by the degree of Romeo’s fear aggression . There were three little dogs that showed up with their owner off leash and were not obeying commands. We simply held on and walk out of the park.

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!

This is the first time I have booked Jimmy to spend some time with my boys. In a word, he was FANTASTIC! My boys absolutely loved him when they first met during a meet and greet and it was obvious to me that Jimmy is a real animal lover. Jimmy was prompt, courteous and professional throughout the experience. He was clearly enamored with my boys and they clearly had a great time with him. I will ABSOLUTELY be using Jimmy in the future. I cannot recommend him highly enough. Book Jimmy and you can be rest assured that your dog(s) will be well taken care of! See you next time Jimmy….Woof!

Maya has watched Baxter a few times now, and it’s clear that he has truly fallen in love with her! Not only is she an exceptional house sitter, but she also cares for dogs with incredible attention and affection. During her time with us, she kept our home clean and tidy, making sure everything was in its place. She also took the initiative to wash our dishes, leaving the kitchen spotless. It’s such a relief to know that our home and furry friend are in capable hands. Each time she visits, Baxter becomes more comfortable and happy, eagerly awaiting her return. Overall, Maya goes above and beyond, making her the perfect choice for house sitting and dog watching.
