Doggy Day Care Taylor

“Katie was absolutely incredible with Jamal! I needed a last minute sitter as I was visiting the area for a wedding and he seemed sad with me leaving him in the hotel...Katie responded right away and was able to take him for a few hours. As soon as Jamal walked into Katie's house I could tell he felt happy and comfortable with her sweet and warm energy. They got lots of snuggles in and he was so happy and content when I picked him up later that evening. I'm so grateful he got to have fun and was happy and safe with Katie!!”

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.

“Joan is so awesome with my dog Bailey! Bailey is excited when we get to her house and I love that she sends me pictures! Joan lives in a great gated neighborhood and last time she took Bailey for walk. I am so happy to have found such a sweet, reliable, trustworthy sitter for my dog!”

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. When I am caring for your loved one I commit to your Pet only. No other side jobs. No leaving to walk or feed another animal. I serve one family at a time whether that is 1 pet or 3 or more Your family is my priority always. 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.

“Francis was very communicative and accommodating during Mochi’s stay. I was running late and she was very understanding. I will definitely book again!”

“This is the second time we've worked with Shayna (we missed the review window on the first time) and we couldn't be happier having met her! She's provided both in-home overnights (10 days!) and day care for our 2 dogs, one old with medication needs and one young puppy. She is calm, friendly and professional and she clearly cares for every pet she works with. And our dogs LOVE her! She goes above and beyond expectations, shuttling our pups to appointments and even running errands if we needed something extra while we were gone. She already feels like part of the family and we look forward to working with her again. We can't recommend her enough!”

About: Hi, my name is Lily! I’ve grown up around pets my entire life and have lots of experience with dogs as well as with fostering cats. As a recent grad, I have lots of free time that I would love to spend with your pets! I just completed my undergraduate degree with a background in Law, Justice, and Society. As a new grad, I am currently unemployed and have lots of free time. I am very active so I would be happy with long walks, playtime, and keeping up with high-energy dogs. At the same time, i’m attentive and patient with more relaxed or anxious pets. I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, so I prioritize clear communication, reliability, and making sure your pet feels safe and comfortable. I’m happy to follow any specific routines, feeding schedules, or care instructions that you provide. Whether your pet needs lots of exercise, companionship, or just someone dependable while you’re away, I’d love to help! In clients’ homes I am respectful of your space and maintain your pets normal routine to help them feel comfortable and secure. I am also happy to provide regular updates and photos.

“Julie has been great with our dog. She is on time, keeps us updated with photos and texts. She is also very flexible if our schedule changes. I highly recommend her as a dog walker/sitter and will continue to use her for our pup.”

“Cici was great and extremely friendly. She checked in throughout the day and updated me on how things were going with my pup. I could tell she took great care of him as he was relaxed after picking him up.”

About: I’m Valiantsina. I work online from home, so your pet will have company and supervision all day long. I know how much it means to have someone actually there for your furry friend, so they’ll never feel lonely. I’m very attentive to instructions and will make sure your pet sticks to their usual routine. Since I’m not tied to an office, I’m flexible with walks and can take your dog out as much as they need in the beautiful parks nearby. Our home is a calm, pet-free space where your dog or cat can truly relax. My son is great with animals and is very gentle, so your pet will be in a loving environment. I’ll be sure to send you regular photo and video updates so you can see how they’re settling in. Looking forward to meeting your pet! I am at home all day. I can devote all my time to your pets. Also near my house there are beautiful parks where we can go for walks, if you want I don't have any pets at the moment, so your pet will be in a calm and friendly environment. I have a child in the house. He is very careful and loving towards pets. He will happily play with them if they like it :)

“Kona was very happy spending time with Sheldon. Sheldon is so pleasant and Kona didn’t want to leave her when I picked him up. I would recommend Sheldon over and over again.”

About: Choosing a pet sitter is an act of trust, and I take that responsibility seriously. For years, I've been trusted to care for beloved pets and the homes they live in, and I would be honored to earn your trust as well. My goal is simple: to give you complete peace of mind, knowing your pet is safe, happy, and receiving the same thoughtful, attentive care you provide at home. I have decades of hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and personalities. Throughout my life, I've had the privilege of caring for my own pets as well as those of family and friends, including senior animals with special needs. I'm equally comfortable with small dogs, large breeds, energetic pets, and those who simply need a slower, gentler pace. Every pet is unique. I take the time to learn their routine, personality, and communication style so they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. I'm experienced with senior pets, shy or anxious animals, and multi-pet households. I'm also comfortable administering oral medications and injections when needed, while paying close attention to any changes in behavior or health. Whether I'm caring for your pet in your home or mine (when appropriate), you can expect dependable communication, regular photo updates, and patient, compassionate care. I'll treat your home with respect and your pet like a member of my own family. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! I have a highly flexible schedule and am available to provide attentive, reliable care for your pets. I can accommodate drop-in visits, walks, overnight stays, and in-home care (when appropriate). I enjoy having the flexibility to give pets the time, attention, and companionship they deserve. Please reach out so we can discuss your pet’s needs and create the best care plan for your schedule. I believe the best care starts with understanding each pet’s individual needs, routine, and personality. Whether I’m caring for your pet in your home or providing care in my own home (when appropriate), their safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities. In your home, I will maintain your pet’s normal routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medication needs, and the familiar environment they know and trust. I’ll provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is happy and well cared for while you’re away. For pets staying in my home, I provide a safe, calm, and comfortable environment. I have a completely fenced and secure yard, and pets are welcome to relax indoors in a climate-controlled home environment at all times. Living in a warm climate, I am very mindful of heat safety and make sure pets are comfortable and never exposed to excessive temperatures. I also enjoy providing enrichment and exercise appropriate for each pet’s personality and energy level. When it’s a good fit, I’m happy to include friendly, social dogs in outings such as walks or trips to the dog park with my own dog, who is fully vaccinated, neutered, and enjoys the company of other dogs. Every pet is different, and my goal is always to provide dependable, loving care that feels as close to home as possible.

“Gloria was wonderful with my dog and took such great care of her during her stay! My pup can be anxious in new places, but she came home calm and clearly well-loved. Gloria was very kind and sent regular updates throughout my dog’s stay, which gave me peace of mind. Her husband was also kind enough to help when I dropped off and picked up my dog. I appreciated how attentive Gloria was to my senior dog’s needs, including her medication schedule. My dog means the world to me, and I would absolutely trust Gloria with her again! 🩷”

About: I’ve had pets and taken care of pets since I was 15 years old! Every time my friends and family would go on vacation, I was always the person who took care of them. They always knew how much I loved going on walks with my pets and caring for them, so they knew I would do a good job with their pets. This is part of my every day routine! I am a very organized person so I always organize my day for my pets and I. It is very important for me that they are happy because I want them to feel comfortable and happy while their humans are gone. I have a fenced back yard and a very clean house where dogs can be around safely. There is a very nice garden as well with safe plants that I know will be a fun place for all pets. Also, have a door that I can just open for pets when they are ready to go to the backyard . As a college student taking care of pets is perfect because it allows me to work on my homework while also having some good pet company. Pet sitting has given me the opportunity to help pay college expenses while also enjoying my time with your beautiful pets! I take care of pets by first asking a lot of questions to their owners! I make sure to follow the clients instructions and also add my own experience to each booking. For example, it is very important to schedule meet & greets that way the pets get the opportunity to know me before the actual booking starts. As soon as I begin with my pet sits, I make sure to give them lost of love so they can learn to trust me. This is very important because they will be with me while their humans are gone and I want them to feel as comfortable as they can with me.

“Kendra was amazing! She is very kind and loving with pets. I received pictures of Princess throughout the day and Princess looked so happy! If you live in the Palm Springs area, or are visiting (like I was), and need someone to look after your fur babies, I would 100% recommend her. ❤️ Thank you, Kendra!”

Esther C.

“Eric was amazing with our dog! Took him on walks and sent a bunch of updates throughout the day. Provided supplies and had a very nice yard. Will definitely use Eric again as a sitter!”

Rachel S.

“Dennis and Tom were very friendly and super helpful in taking care of our dogs during our visit to Palm Springs. They were responsive, responsible, and accommodating, enabling us to visit town while knowing that Milo and Frankie were well cared for. We can’t thank them enough!”

Carolyne A.

“Shelly was amazing with our semi-anxious Roxy! If you are in the Palm Springs area, and want to do those things that dogs can’t do (Indian Canyon or the Tram) I would not hesitate to book Shelly:)”

About: I currently volunteer at Animal Samaritans, an animal shelter located in Thousand Palms. I've been volunteering for 1 year now and I specialize in the need and care of cats and dogs. My skills can vary from providing companionship to all pets, to special maintenance and cleaning services! Apart from volunteering at a shelter, it is my ultimate goal to work alongside pets all-day, providing not only intensive care but love and compassion to your Fur Babies! My schedule is very flexible as I can fit extensive time for pet care and extracurricular activities such as dog walking. I am currently taking full online courses. I spend most of my days in the comfort of my home alongside my outdoor hobbies. I am available Monday- Sunday and on Holidays. I live in a pet-friendly large home with a friendly kitten and a spacious backyard. Many treats and playtime are always a necessity! There is a community pet-friendly park within a 5-minute walking distance. A 6ft wide fence is provided!
