“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.”

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.

“Justin was kind, professional, on time, and great with my mother’s dog, Abby. He was very accommodating with what she needed. We would definitely use him again.”

“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!”

“JoAnn is terrific! She is a 100% dog person. Thinks ahead several steps at all times. Phoebe crawled up her leg and into her arms the very first moment they met which JoAnn took with great humor. She is super punctual and incidentally is also a very fun person.”

About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life. We had three growing up as a child, all different breeds. Even though my mom had a cat allergy, I have still enjoyed being around my friend’s cats. I raised a Yorkie of my own, Ace, from a puppy. I recently lost him in January after 14 years. I promised him that I would continue to share my love of animals to those in need. I would love the opportunity to care for your pet(s) as if they were my own. I have a very flexible schedule which allows me a lot of freedom to accommodate your booking requests. Let me know what you need and I will do my best to fulfill your pet care needs. I’ve always wanted my pets to feel comfortable and safe and I understand how important and careful selecting a pet care provider can be. I am great at adapting to the environment in which you and your pet feel most at home. I will treat your pet and space with the upmost respect as I would hope one would do for me.

About: Hi there! 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. I am a full time nursing student at College of The Desert. I provide dog sitting services on a part time basis during the semester, which runs from 1/26/26-5/22/26. 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.

“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: My experience with dogs is Taking care of them involves much more than just feeding and walking; it’s about forging a deep, trusting bond with each individual form small to big.I previously worked at PetSmart, where I gained hands-on experience caring for a variety of animals including cats, dogs, reptiles, birds, and small pets. That role helped me develop strong skills in animal handling, feeding, cleaning, and monitoring health and behavior. Now, I work at an animal shelter where I primarily care for many cats and dogs. My responsibilities include ensuring they are fed, exercised, kept in a clean and safe environment, and shown compassion while they wait for adoption. This experience has strengthened my dedication to animal welfare and expanded my ability to provide care for animals in need. I’m currently in college working on becoming a vet one day, I love animals since I was kid so I always enjoy spending time with animals. I have 3 friendly dogs form small to big with so much space around to play and have fun they are always taken care of always feed and behaved well

About: I specialize in overnight care for pets whose families value consistency, companionship, and careful attention to their unique needs. Calm, experienced sitter offering overnight care, drop-ins, and dog walking throughout Palm Desert, Rancho Mirage, Indian Wells, and nearby areas - known for keeping pets happy, comfortable, and relaxed while you are away. I've been trusted by clients and friends to watch over their pets for years. I bring a quiet, calm energy to every home I enter, treating each pet with the love and care they deserve. What sets me apart: Overnight Specialist: Many sitters offer boarding, but I focus on keeping pets in their own home - where they are most comfortable and stress-free. Attentive and Gentle: I notice the little things - changes in mood, behavior, or comfort - and respond with patience and care. Clear Communication: Daily updates with notes and photos so you always feel connected Structure and Reliability: As a competitive figure skater and dance instructor, I balance a disciplined routine with the flexible care your pets deserve. I intentionally take on a limited number of bookings so that I can provide each pet with focused, attentive care, rather than rushing between homes. I balance pet care with part-time dance instruction and figure skating. On occasional mornings, I train during a 6 AM skating session. When this occurs, pets are fed, let out, and settled before I leave. I return by 7:30 AM to continue their routine, keeping them safe, happy, and at ease in their own home. Like most sitters, I may need to step out again later, but your pets will always have full overnight companionship and reliable daytime care. I'm reliable, gentle, and attentive. While you're away, I'll make sure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for right in their own home - especially through the night, when companionship matters the most. You'll receive regular updates and photos to ensure you have peace of mind. In the unlikely event of an emergency, I'll contact you right away. If I can't reach you, I'll get in touch with your emergency contact. Then I'll take your pet to your veterinarian or the emergency clinic. I'll stay calm, act quickly, and keep you informed every step of the way.

“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 ❤️”

About: Dogs have been part of my life for as long as I can remember—family dogs, my own dogs, always under the same roof. Since my dog Tesla passed, this is the longest stretch of my life I’ve gone without a dog in my home, and it’s reminded me just how important dogs are to me. Caring for them truly feels natural and grounding, not like “work.” I work from home, which means your dog will have plenty of attention throughout the day—not long stretches alone. I’m present, attentive, and happy to adjust to each dog’s personality, routine, and needs. I live in a safe, gated, and very pet-friendly community about 10 minutes from the airport, which many clients find convenient for travel days. While I don’t have a traditional yard, I do have two open-air patios that are fully fenced around the perimeter. There's plenty of secure outdoor space with grass areas, walking room, and plenty of space for dogs to relax and explore safely. I always encourage a meet-and-greet before a dog’s first overnight stay so everyone—both humans and canines—feels comfortable. That said, I trust pet parents’ judgment and don’t make it an absolute requirement if schedules don’t allow. I’m happy to send photos and updates during your pet’s stay if you’d like—some owners love frequent check-ins, while others prefer to fully enjoy their trip. I’m comfortable either way and will follow your preference. If any medical issues were to arise, the veterinarian Rover uses for emergencies (VCA) is about 1.5 miles from my home, which offers added peace of mind.
