“Kyla was wonderful with my dog Storm! Storm took a liking to her right away. Kyla was able to make sure Storm got a potty break and lots of loves, cuddles, and some treats while I was at work. Definitely recommend Kyla and would book with her again!”


“Jon has been so helpful with my two French Bulldogs—checking in on them while I’m at work. He is trustworthy, very dog-friendly, kind, and professional. Whatever your specific needs are with your pets, Jon is just the type of person that is up to the task. He genuinely seems to care and will give your pets plenty of love and attention!”


“Ashurina did a wonderful job watching our pups, allowing us to get out and play some golf. We have a high-energy puppy, who is shy with people and a 15 year-old dog who is slowing down a bit. Ashurina played with our kids and made sure they got their potty breaks and treats. We rebooked her last minute for an additional drop-in visit. Highly recommended.”



“Ana was wonderful with our senior cat Lizzy. She was a great communicator providing comforting updates while we were away for the holidays. I trust her completely and would absolutely use her again. Thank you Ana.”


About: I've live and raised all ages in dogs. My oldest dog is almost 12 and the youngest dog at the moment is 3 years old. I'm comfortable with big and small dogs and have dealt with different temperaments as well. So this would be a part time job for me so I would be able to do drop ins week days after 6 pm. Depending on my job schedule I can sometimes drop in during the weekdays to check in on your pups. I'm very good at providing updates and following strict schedules if need be. I'm also comfortable on teaching your pets basic training as well. I will treat very pet as how I would love someone to look after mine.

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.

“Faith was amazing and very communicative! This was my first time using Rover and I was going to be gone for 12 days. She always kept me informed how my two kitties were doing and sent pics. She even stopped by for an extra visit when one of my cats was hiding for a few days and we were worried she trapped herself in somewhere. I would definitely use her again in the future 😉”


“Maggie is the best! We are from out of town and had a family emergency. Maggie was so attentive to our needs and our dog, who had surgery a week ago. I highly recommend Maggie who has a heart of gold.”


“Aimee is absolutely fantastic with our cats! We once had a cat sitter for 4 years who never saw Denny, our boy cat. He was all over Aimee from the start! The girls love her too! So glad we found her!”


“My dogs loooove you!!Thank you so much for loving and caring for them like I do!! It's such peace of mind knowing you adore them and treat them like your own!!! Until next time! 🤗 XO”


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.

About: Since I was 10, I have been walking and pet sitting all kinds of animals. I love animals and have plenty of experience. I have worked with pets of all ages from puppies and kittens to senior pets. Additionally, I have been a volunteer at a local animal shelter for 2+ years. I am currently only doing walks and drop in visits and I have open availability to walk your pet whenever you need me. I prefer to do walks around noon or in the afternoon. I have my own pets who I take great care of and you can trust me to care for your own pet as well. My open availability allows me to spend time with your pet whenever needed.

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

Cecilia D.
“I can confidently say that Cecilia would make a fantastic Rover caregiver. She has been a dedicated dog owner for many years, raising her current pup with love, patience, and consistency. From making sure he gets his daily walks to keeping him on a regular feeding schedule, she’s always attentive to his needs. What really stands out is her attention to detail. Whether it’s monitoring his health, keeping up with training, or simply ensuring he feels cared for and happy, she goes above and beyond. I’ve seen firsthand how much joy and security her dog feels because of the care she provides, and I know she’ll bring that same level of commitment and kindness to any dog/pet she looks after.”


Maile N.
“I have known Maile for over 10 years. She is an absolute animal advocate and animal lover! She goes out of her way to make sure her dogs (all 4 of them, all rescued!) are properly fed, happy, content, exercised, and LOVED!! She is absolutely DEVOTED to her dogs and their well being. She is completely trustworthy and reliable. When she says she’ll be there, she’s there and on time! I have never had a problem with her entering my house and checking on my cats, or my property. I have no hesitation on recommending her to be your next reliable dog walker/sitter.”

Bubbly, caring, loving, and responsible are some words that describe her. Being a sitter myself, I know Kaz's work ethic is impeccable! My pup's say she's fun to have around, so if you're looking for a friendly and reliable sitter, she's your girl! 100% recommend! ♡ :)”
