“When my girl became ill Aimee jumped in her car and got the meds needed from the vet. She administered them for a week and my puppy was full of pep when I got home. I would trust Aimee in any situation. Thank goodness she was there just when I needed her. 😇”


“Elaine was phenomenal with our boys for the week!! She spent the week in our home with our boys, was very tuned in to their personalities, sent lots of updates and pictures which we so appreciated! We highly recommend and thank you, Elaine!!”


“Desiree did an amazing job looking after our little guy. She met with us prior to watching him in our home and eased his nerves. We look forward to working with Desiree again.”


“Marcos was fabulous! He sent us photos of walks and meal times so we knew the dogs were taken care of. When we returned home the house was clean and the dogs were happy. It was such a relief to find Marcos!! He is kind and attentive to the dogs and our needs.”


“Chris is amazing! He communicates regularly with photos of our dogs and keeps us in the loop of their activities. It really makes going out of town easier. We are so grateful we found him and would absolutely recommend him to our friends.”


“Mona was an absolute AMAZING dog sitter for our 2 dogs. She was very attentive to her needs and gave us a lot of updates through the day. I felt so at ease knowing our dogs were taken care of by her. She’s absolutely wonderful and we’ll definitely book her again!😊”


“Ashurina was communicative, flexible, sent lots of pics of our doggies and, most importantly, took excellent care of our two schnauzers. We would highly recommend her services.”


“My gosh what a wonderful young lady she took the most beautiful care of my animals and my home. Erika is a wonderful selection as a house sitter. I will absolutely hire her again.”


“Julie is amazing and I would hire her in a heartbeat! She was sweet, caring and thoughtful with my girls and their many quirks. She managed to take of them both to the park which is no small feat considering one needs to be carried and the other likes to speed walk. She is the first sitter that attempted to take them out together! She was responsive and quick to send photos each day and I was able to enjoy my time away knowing that they were getting the same level of care I give them. She left our house pristine and I would happily hire her again!”


“This was the second time we asked Renee to watch our Aussie shepherd, Oliver, while we were on vacation outside the country. He loves her and Renee really takes care of Oliver as we would. Before we even book a vacation, we check Renee's schedule and make sure she is available. We were really confident during our vacation that Oliver was receiving spa treatment at home and loving every second of it. We have known Renee for the last couple of years and we consider her a good friend. We trust her with our home and Oliver. Renee takes lots of photos and videos, so we get plenty of updates and feedback on the hour to hour activities of Oliver. We highly recommend Renee. She is the best.”


“Dola was great. She went above and beyond taking care of our house and dog. Rafa seemed to really like her when we did a meet and greet. And Dola kept up with good communications and photos. Will repeat!”


“Donna was great. She was on-time, friendly, and perfect for our dog, Belle. She took many photos of her to let us know how well she was doing with us away. Belle clearly was comfortable with Donna from the get-go and we will definitely book her again for Belle in the future.”


“Farrah is amazing! She took such great care of Percy while we were away—super responsible, kind, and clearly loves animals. She kept us updated with cute pics and made sure everything ran smoothly. We came home to happy Percy and a tidy house. Couldn’t ask for a better sitter. Highly recommend! 🐾💛”


About: Hi! I am new to the desert as well as to Rover. However, I am not new to caring for fur babies, from birth to their senior years. I just recently (in May) lost my sweet, senior Pomeranian, Princess and am unable to have pets in my new home. It will make my heart very happy spending time with and loving on yours! I am a very kind, easy going, patient and responsible woman. I was raised around a number of dogs of all sizes and breeds. As an adult, I have been a fur mom to small breeds (Poodles, Maltese and Pomeranians) as well as to large breeds (Boxers and German Shepherds). Over the course of the past 10 years I have had the pleasure of babysitting several grandpups, all rescues, big and small as well as the pets of friends. A few of the dogs I’ve cared for have had severe health issues and required a lot of special attention. My arms are feeling very empty these days without any fur babies to hold. Hoping to remedy that! I am very good at adapting to the personality of the dog. Whether they are high energy and want to play and need lots of exercise, just want me to hold them on my lap, or something in between. With what you, their parent, share with me about their personalities and what they “tell” me, I am happy to oblige! I promise to take care of and love them as my own. Think of me as a doting grandmother. 😊 I live in Palm Desert and work Thursday through Saturday in Palm Springs 11 to 4. I hope that I can start this new chapter of my life spending a lot of time as a pet sitter with a few very special regular clients. I’m available to walk them morning and evening the days that I’m working and spend the night. Or stay with them full time on my days off. I am able to take care of your home as well as your pet(s) and I will make sure that I keep them on their routine. I will not give them any pet or human food other than what you have approved. I am happy to provide pics, videos and updates throughout the day.

“We just worked with Susan for the first time, and we won't use anyone else whenever she is available. She did a great job with our two cats during an overnight stay on short notice. The cats can be a challenge because one is a diabetic needing insulin injections, and the other is a very picky eater. Both cats were calm and happy when we came home, and the house was in perfect order. All of our instructions were followed perfectly, except Susan stayed later than we had asked because she wanted to be sure the cats were safe and we got home on time despite bad weather. We recommend Susan very, very highly.”


About: With 5 years of hands-on experience caring for both senior dogs and puppies, I provide patient, reliable, and compassionate care. I pride myself on treating every pet as if they were my own, while bringing calm and kindness to both animals and their owners. Currently working full-time with some extra time on my hands on Friday, Saturday and Sundays, which I’m opening my heart to take some pets on walks for those who don’t have time. I provide attentive dog sitting, walking, playing, in your home, following all care instructions to ensure your pet stays happy, safe, and comfortable. I respect your space, keep things tidy, and treat your dog with patience and love while they’re in my hands.

“Samira was amazing with our 15 yr old cocker spaniel (who is on 5meds day and night) and cat. She stayed in our home for a week while we went on vacation. Came home to happy pets and a clean house! I’m OCD that that says a lot! Will definitely be using her in the future.”

Randi E.
“We have utilized Randi for care with our dog with special needs multiple times. Our dog is very picky and doesn’t like just anyone. She has a gentle and patient nature that allowed our dog to feel safe with her. We have trusted her with over-nights and have never had any issues. She is always our first call when we need pet care!”

Emily O.
“Emily has been my friend for 3 years now and I can vouch that she would be an amazing pet caregiver. Emily would be a wonderful dog sitter because she is trustworthy and kind, always making sure others feel comfortable and cared for. She is very accommodating and patient, which is especially important when working with animals who may need extra time and attention. Her genuine love for animals shines through in everything she does, and because she has pets of her own, she understands their needs and how to care for them responsibly.”
