“Great host. She took wonderful care of our dog while we were away on vacation. She sent updates and was very easy to connect with. Will definitely use again, really great experience.”
“Joy was absolutely amazing with our dogs while we were away on vacation! From the moment we left, she kept us updated every single day with messages, photos, and details about how they were doing. Knowing our dogs were in such caring and attentive hands gave us complete peace of mind and allowed us to truly enjoy our trip. It’s clear that Joy genuinely loves animals and treats them like her own. Our dogs were happy, well cared for, and comfortable throughout their stay. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We are incredibly grateful for all of her care, communication, and professionalism. I highly recommend Joy to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving pet sitter. We will definitely be using her services again!”
“Thank you Erin & Alex for watching our boy over the weekend! You guys were so kind enough to put his daily ointment on without any problems! We can tell he had a great time & misses to guys already!”
“Sierra took great care of my dog! My dog is 10 years old and really prefers the company of humans to dogs. Having said that, my dog seemed to get along almost instantly with Sierra's dogs and she seemed to be relaxed and happy when I picked her up. Sierra has a great set up for dogs with a fantastic yard and a pool if your dog is a swimmer like mine. Dog heaven!”
“Gloria is amazing, and we feel so lucky to have found her! This was the second time she watched our dog, Pepper, while we were out of town, and once again she went above and beyond. Pepper had a little tummy trouble during our trip, and Gloria was right on it, she communicated promptly, kept a close eye on him, and handled everything with so much care. We will use her again and we highly recommend her! Thanks again Gloria for taking such good care of Pepper!”
About: I've been a dog sitter for almost five years , have experience in making your dog feel at home and not stressed out. Your dog will want to come back, and my home will be their second home. I telework , and and home most of the time. I live in the second largest city in the county with lots of dog parks. My home is perfect for dogs, I do not have carpet so if your dog has an accident I can clean it up very easily. Also your dog is welcomed to sit on any part of my home, unless instructed by owner otherwise.
“I have to say that Dijanna is the best! She took super good care of my dogs while I was away and sent me plenty of updates about them. I’m so very very grateful for her. I sincerely wish her a magnificent New Year of complete success in her every endeavor!!”
“Don is FANTASTIC! If I could give more than five stars, I absolutely would! Don communicates regularly, takes great care of my dog Dallas, make sure she gets walked and taken out regularly, and he is extremely skilled at dog training and boarding! He is willing to pick up and drop off your furry/fuzzy family member, he's flexible, and he sticks to any instructions that you might provide him about your animals diet, exercise regimen, etc! If you are looking to board or train your dog, send him or her to Don! Top notch service!!”

“Maggie was great with our dog and a life saver, during New Year’s Eve we’ve found out our pet could not stay alone in the hotel room, there was such a small window to book and she accepted to take care of our dog. Our dog felt so comfortable with her, she kept us posted of all his activities, meals, walks, etc. Maggie was truly awesome with our dog.”
“I feel so very lucky to know Brandon and Billy. They cared for Kepler like he is their own pup. They pet sit for the love of dogs. Kepler was so happy to see them and had a great time. Our fluffy guy was very safe at their fully fenced home and welcome to run around like a crazy man. 10/10 Stars!”
“I booked a two-week vacation and needed someone truly special to care for my dog, Ella. Most kennels in the area have no dog limits and don’t separate by size. Not the right fit for my sweet, slightly bougie girl! Matthew offered the perfect blend of comfort, safety, and home-style care. His house is pet-friendly and charming, with a doggy door to the front patio and another to the back, so Ella could choose where to lounge. He limits the number of dogs he watches, sent regular photos and updates, and was wonderfully flexible with drop-off and pick-up times. Ella looked so happy and relaxed in every picture. It gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. I couldn’t recommend Matthew more highly, and I’ll definitely be rebooking with him in the future!”
“Jackson and his family were great at taking care of my pup last minute. So thankful to have found him. Shelby was very happy and calm while I was out which is not always the case for her. But great care and communication for the short stay with them. Thank you!!!”

“Chloe did a great job taking care of my furbabies! I am a super helicopter pet parent who hates leaving her pets, so I have very high standards. Since we work from home, our pets are used to having someone with them 24/7 and are very socialized, so I didn't want them feeling lonely. Chloe completely understood and stayed in our house for over 2 weeks to take care of the little ones. She sent regular photo updates that showed her playing with the cats and providing enrichment for them. The regular check-ins were so comforting to me! She also left the house clean and tidy for us to come home to. She responded promptly any time I texted her, and was extremely courteous. All in all, it was a great experience and we will definitely book Chloe again.”

About: Hello, my name is Brandon, and ever since I can remember I’ve been around pets (mostly dogs). I love all living things, especially animals. I started taking care of animals in the 8th grade taking care of my aunt’s cats and from there I’ve cared for all sorts of different animals. Being a pet owner myself I know how much it means that our companions get the best care and in my hands I promise to take care of them as my own, offering baths (if needed), time outside weather it’s just for a walk or playing at the park. For in house visits I can accommodate for whatever needs to be done for your four legged friend and any tidying up that might need to be taken care of. Very flexible person and accommodating to needs of the pet and/or individual. My primary goal is to help in any way I can and provide the best care I can. Please contact me if interested! Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine and something I genuinely enjoy. Whether it’s morning walks, midday drop-ins, or evening feedings, I structure my day to ensure each pet gets the time, attention, and care they need. I’m consistent, reliable, and always make sure pets feel safe, loved, and well-cared for—whether it’s a quick visit or an extended stay. I care for each pet as if they were my own, always prioritizing their comfort, safety, and routine. In a client’s home, I follow their specific instructions closely—whether that’s feeding schedules, walks, playtime, or administering medication. I make sure their environment stays clean, secure, and familiar to minimize stress while you're away. For drop-in visits, I give pets plenty of love and attention while making sure all their needs are met. Communication is key, so I provide regular updates and photos to keep you informed and reassured.
“Karaleah offered a meet and greet which made me feel that much more comfortable. We've been doing some short stays before my two weeks long trip this summer and I'm confident we'll do great. She has been patient with my scaredy cat who takes sometime to warm up to strangers. Karaleah is reliable and listens to requests and suggestions on how to tend to my cat needs.”

“My husband took Rocky over to Joan's house to see how he would do prior to an upcoming trip. This was the first time we left him with someone other than family and I can't thank Joan enough for the pictures. It relieved a lot of stress for me and I know he will be in great hands when we are out of town for several days. Thanks again Joan, see you next week!! Colleen”

About: I recently inherited my aunt‘s dog after she passed away. She wanted me to have Buddy that’s his name (he is the dog in my profile pic♥️)because I am so good with animals. He is a senior dog and I’ve rejuvenated him. We walk every day, I make him fresh, fresh, food I play with him. He’s super happy and it’s like he’s got a second lease on life a pep in his step. This is what I can provide to dogs that I watch or sit or walk. Caring loving attentive care until their mom or daddy returns.🐶 I wake up around 5:30 am and give my dog a walk. I make sure we are up bright and early so that we can get a walk in before the pavement is too hot for him. Then I come home and feed him his breakfast. Throughout the day we s play or if I leave and when I get back I will chase him around our couch. Buddy loves that! I am very gentle and follow the rules to a T. If there’s any instructions or preferences on treatment or care for the animal, always make sure that’s my number one priority.
About: I have been watching over pups of all ages from a few weeks old to senior pup ages giving them all the cuddles, exercise, and snacking of fruits and vegetables to keep them on their toes. There's always time to relax and rest when I close up the curtains and change the lights to a nice dog cartoon or video for them to fall asleep to or cool down from the sun. I have been a foster parent for pups with my husband for about 2 years and never looked back, we have fostered over 12 pups of all ages to families all over the valley and continue to do so until we move to Oregon. I make home made food and treats depending on what I have available at the moment and provide them with different varieties of snacks that are healthy for them. I give them my attention and my fur babies get to play and socialize with everyone welcoming everyone and sharing all their toys🥰 I am currently staying home while my husband works and I do insta cart shopping depending on the day. And looking into getting my masters online so I have plenty of time to give them the attention they need. I have crates and gates depending on the pups needs. I have my home set up to section off pups if they need time to relax or go and play with others without bothering anyone else.
“We rarely leave our precious pup but we do travel a lot and have taken advantage of Rover in various parts of the country. We are so happy to have found Don to leave Georgie with for a couple of days while we explored the Indio area. Don frequently provided photos and updates and we knew she was in the best of hands. We will definitely use Don again when we come back to this areas.”

“We plan to leave our pups when we go on vacation, and Sierra is a new sitter to us. My 3 mini-schnauzers were here today to get them familiar with this new environment. They were happy and eager to join the others and happy and relaxed when I picked them up. Sierra sent some photos of them during the day. Highly recommend!!❤️”
“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! 🩷”
“I couldn’t have asked for a better experience with Ruby! She took such great care of Luther and kept me updated with adorable photos. It was clear that they truly love animals and treated my pet like their own. Lu came back happy, well-exercised, and stress-free. I felt completely at ease knowing they were in such good hands.

“Natalie watched our Siberian Husky mix twice while we explored Joshua Tree Nat’l Park. She was awesome to work with and took great care of our older dog, who is on a few meds. We received several pictures each day and Blance was clearly happy when we picked her up and super excited when we dropped her off the second day, so we know she had a great experience.”

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.

I work full-time but seasonally at a large local hotel and my hours vary. I have a very flexible schedule and can work around calendar based obstacles.

About: I’ve worked with all types of pets, small and big, I 'm compassionate about animals and the unconditional love they bring to our lives. Whether it was a shi tzu to a german shepard to a lab, to a horse, I'm a true animal lover. Additionally, I took care of a friend until the end, he got Long-Term Covid in 2019 and died in Feb 2024. I also helped in my mother's care who had muscular dystrophy and my father, who had dementia. I'm a semi-retired entertainment publicist who spent the last 18 years in Los Angeles. After being a part-time resident in PALM SPRINGS since 2008, I'm now a full-time resident that truly loves the desert and no remorse from leaving LA.

Mainly by preference, I have my own personal preferences but whatever the Pet Parents want something specific, like no pets on the furniture or bed. Preference for using their own dog bed. I'm here to provide a service tailored to their needs.

“Sierra took great care of my dog! My dog is 10 years old and really prefers the company of humans to dogs. Having said that, my dog seemed to get along almost instantly with Sierra's dogs and she seemed to be relaxed and happy when I picked her up. Sierra has a great set up for dogs with a fantastic yard and a pool if your dog is a swimmer like mine. Dog heaven!”
“I feel so very lucky to know Brandon and Billy. They cared for Kepler like he is their own pup. They pet sit for the love of dogs. Kepler was so happy to see them and had a great time. Our fluffy guy was very safe at their fully fenced home and welcome to run around like a crazy man. 10/10 Stars!”
“Jackson and his family were great at taking care of my pup last minute. So thankful to have found him. Shelby was very happy and calm while I was out which is not always the case for her. But great care and communication for the short stay with them. Thank you!!!”

“Maggie was great with our dog and a life saver, during New Year’s Eve we’ve found out our pet could not stay alone in the hotel room, there was such a small window to book and she accepted to take care of our dog. Our dog felt so comfortable with her, she kept us posted of all his activities, meals, walks, etc. Maggie was truly awesome with our dog.”

“The day before drop off our dog seemed to be limping a bit so playtimes needed to be more gentle , we got pics and or videos daily , she was flexible with the times for drop off pick up and willing to meet in person before picking her. Our dog was not limping when we got him 4 days later and was doing much better, was clean and happy and would definately book again if we need help. Plus the price was affordable and reasonable”
“We booked Yesenia less than 24 hours before our trip, and she was incredibly responsive and professional. She immediately connected with our big puppy and gave him the care and attention we were hoping for. She made sure he got his walks, playtime, and companionship while we were away. It gave us peace of mind knowing he was in such great hands. Thank you again, Yesenia—we’re so grateful!”
