Dog Walking in Rancho Mirage

“Kyla is great! Always on time, is terrific with the dogs and very caring with our older and ill whippet! She helps us out on a routine basis!”

About: I love dogs as family, I am patient and caring, peace of mind guaranteed. I’ve have experience with puppies as well as senior dogs who require extra care. My husband and I work from home. He tends to his landscaping business and I work at Walter Clark. Being home allows us to spend time with the dogs and to give them the attention and care that they require. I have a big yard with grass which is great for dogs to run and play, as well as a spare room with toys and air conditioner.

“Amanda helped me out when I needed a dog walker last minute. She was wonderful about communicating when she would arrive, etc. professional, punctual and I would definitely use her dog walking services again.”

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 32 years 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.

“This was our first time using Rover, and therefore our first time having Jon walk our dog. We asked Jon to come by each day at 7, as it gets pretty hot here in the desert quite early in the morning. Sammi is used to hour long walks as well. We can say Jon did not disappoint! He was at our house every morning at 7 on the nose and gave our Sammi a full hour walk each day. They walked a mile plus on each journey and Sammi looked forward to seeing him every day. Could not have asked for a better experience!”

About: I grew up on a ranch with several mixed breed family dogs and a few barn cats. I volunteered at small and large veterinary clinics during college break, as well as volunteered at local animal shelters over the years. We have a senior rescue in our home, Walter, and a couple younger pups we also adopted with loads of energy. Depending on your pets needs, I can throw the ball as much as your pup wants to play fetch, I can take your pup hiking, to the dog park, or around the neighborhood. If your fur baby just wants love and cuddles and indoor playtime, it all works. You tell me what is best for them and I will 100% follow your direction. I am retired (finance career) and have time on my hands to devote to your special family member. I run on time, follow directions, and ready to keep your pet happy and healthy. As a very active person, I am not the type to sit on the couch or the bench at the dog park; I would be very interactive with them. We have rescue dogs and I assure you, your dog will be in safe and reliable hands with me. At this point I'm not ready to have pets in our home, but I don't mind traveling within the Rancho Mirage/Palm Desert area with some exceptions if I need to travel a bit farther for a client. Whatever instructions you give me (ie play and food preferences the pup has) I will certainly follow. I have left my own detailed list of items when we've been away, so don't worry, I won't take any shortcuts and I am also a good communicator, not just with the owner, but I love talking with the pets as well.

About: My name is Elle and I have been around many different species of pets since before I can remember. I consider my self to be patient and skilled with being around rescue animals with all different temperaments and behaviors, as my dogs are rescues and I've had experience socializing both dogs and cats in local shelters. I've recently gotten into pet sitting for neighbors and family friends and would love the opportunity to expand my horizons using this site. I work a part time job and can be flexible with pet sitting and regular check ups on the dog or cat during the job. I can easily work you and your pets needs into my schedule as I consider myself flexible. I can spend as long as needed and take your pet for as many walks or outings as they need. Just let me know what I can do during the stay to accommodate you and your pets needs and consider it done!

“We all love Rhondee! She has a wonderful way with my dogs, who after the first walk with her sit by the door waiting for her! Highly recommend Rhondee!”

About: I’ve always loved animals since childhood, growing up with my parents always rescuing strays. Over the years, I’ve developed strong skills in dog care, focusing on comfort and trust. What sets me apart as a dog sitter is my ability to make pets feel at ease through a comforting touch, a unique scent I wear to ensure they recognize me, and creating a calming environment where they feel safe and cared for. I also always make sure to send pet owners picture updates of their pets to ensure they’re doing okay and to always ask questions if I am unsure about anything. Pet care is a big part of my daily routine! I’m always available because I’m passionate about making pet sitting my full-time career. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, or just hanging out with pets, I love spending time with them and making sure they’re happy and comfortable. Caring for pets feels natural to me, and I’m excited to make it a regular part of my life! In both my home and my clients’ homes, I make sure pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable. I stick to their usual routines, whether that’s feeding, walks, or playtime, and I provide plenty of attention and affection. I always stay with them every step of the way, showering them with pets and ensuring they’re comfortable with me and their surroundings. I create a calm, stress-free environment, and if needed, I bring familiar items like toys or blankets to help them feel at home. My goal is to make sure they feel completely relaxed, loved and cared for!

About: I’ve cared for dogs my whole life and truly adore them! I’ve fostered an energetic husky and lovingly raised newborn puppies—feeding, cleaning, cuddling, and nurturing them every step of the way. Providing patient, gentle care is second nature to me, and I treat every dog like they’re part of my family. I’m a substitute teacher with a very flexible schedule! I can easily make time for dog walks, drop-ins, or overnight care based on your pup’s needs. I don’t plan to host many pets, but if needed, they’re welcome inside with me. I live on a golf course, so walks are easy and peaceful!

“Lucy is great with the dogs and is so caring! She’s an important part of our doggie care team, especially with Josh being sick now! We just love her!”

About: I know leaving your pet with someone new can feel stressful, so my focus is to make it easier for both you and your fur baby. I handle situations calmly, respond strategically, and communicate clearly. Every day, as both a student and a sitter, I learn and improve. I’m very observant and caring with pets. I have a lot of experience in senior care. My own dog, who passed in 2024, lived to 15 years old and was blind and diabetic. Because of him, I’m comfortable with special care needs. You can call me the “dog nurse.” I am a Registered Nursing student at College of the Desert and classes are currently in session (9/2/25-12/19/25) so my availability is open on weekends only. Unfortunately my home does not allow pets so I can only sit in the pets/your home! I am excited to meet your fur baby and give them all my love, care and attention! I like to send a lot of photos and videos because your comfort is my comfort (Unless you ask me not to!) One thing that really helps things go smoothly is a detailed schedule & notes (written or typed) for your pet if they have any. Please let me know if there’s anything else I can do to keep your pup safe and happy.

“Jay was great! Our dog immediately like her and Jay was friendly to him in a very genuine way. I immediately completed trusted her. Jay gives hearty walks and Ned was very tired. Thank you, Jay.”

“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!”

About: Animals have always had a special place in my heart. Growing up on a farm, I was surrounded by creatures big and small—everything from conures to bison. From an early age, I learned not just how to care for animals, but how to truly respect them. That foundation deepened over the years into a lifelong appreciation for the bond we share with our animal companions. Adopting my dog Uschi was life-changing—she taught me about unconditional love, loyal companionship, and even nudged me toward a healthier lifestyle. That experience reinforced my commitment to providing pets with the same love and care I give my own. I understand how important it is to feel confident when leaving your pet in someone else’s care. That’s why I prioritize consistency, comfort, and safety. I’ll follow your pet’s routine closely, respect any dietary needs, and make sure they feel calm and cared for every step of the way. I can’t wait to run, play, and give your sweet baby the love they deserve! I currently work remote at my own pace, so I have full availability any time of day, morning or over night. Complete flexibility to your schedule. My overnight stays are flexible and can be tailored to your pet’s specific needs. I’m happy to take care of small home tasks like bringing in the mail or taking out the trash—just let me know what you'd like. We can also go over feeding schedules, walk routines, and note any areas that are off-limits to ensure everything runs smoothly. I understand that separation anxiety is common, and I approach each visit with patience, empathy, and a calming presence. Your pet’s comfort and emotional well-being are my top priority, and I’ll make sure they feel safe, seen, and cared for in your absence. I’m also very mindful of pet nutrition—no treats or dietary changes will be made without your clear consent. I’m available for a wide range of time frames and am happy to adapt to your pet’s rhythm and routine, providing consistency, comfort, and a little extra love while you're away.
