“Semran is wonderful with my three doggies, she takes her time and has even helped with my rescue dog that came from a hoarding situation. I highly recommend her.”
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.
“Kyla has been great with our two dogs for walks during the week while we are at work. She is friendly and the dogs love her. She always gives notice if she has to change the schedule and has been understanding when we have a change.”
“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.
“Sarah was so friendly and had great communication. We felt at ease all day knowing that she was taking care of Theo. Plus, when she came for a meet and greet with Theo the day before, Theo was so excited to meet her and couldnt stop kissing her. Pups know best ❤️”
“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 rescued senior pets for over a decade and have plenty of experience with puppies, cats, and pets with big personalities. I run my own business and mostly work from home, so your furry fam will get all the attention, love, and weird little chats they deserve. I’m all about keeping animals comfy, happy, and feeling like they’re right where they belong! Since I work from home and set my own hours, I can easily build my day around your pet’s routine. Whether it’s morning walks, midday play breaks, or cozy overnight hangs, I’m flexible—and fully present. Your pet gets consistent care, attention, and yes, a well-stocked snack stash. Whether I’m caring for your pet in your home or mine, their safety and comfort always come first. I maintain a clean, calm environment, stick closely to their routine, and pay attention to the little details—like favorite nap spots or treat preferences. I believe in clear communication, regular updates, and creating a space that feels safe, familiar, and full of love (plus the occasional squeaky toy).
“I think Dallas has found a new friend. He anxiously well not really, once he sees Robert walk up he cannot contain himself. Comes back and jumps in the pool and he naps for a spell. Thank you Robert for treating Dallas like was your own!”

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!
