“Viviana was amazing!!! When we went to go pick up our dog she didn’t even want to come home and would rather have stayed with them 🤣 that’s how much our dog loved Viviana and her husband! This was our first time having someone dog sit and it went absolutely prefect. I also received updates on how our dog was doing and that was the best! I will be re-booking with Viviana in the future! My husband and I were extremely pleased with the experience. Thank you all so much.”

“Ary has been the best sitter! Highly recommend! She is so sweet and takes the best care of our girl and our pup doesn’t love everyone but LOVES staying with Ary!! Thank you so much again.”

“Geri was the best! Don't be fooled by her stern-looking profile photo; she is anything but! Super stylish and kind, with a huge heart. Our Roxy was very happy with her stay with Geri, and her home is beautiful, and every detail was accounted for in making it super doggy friendly. Her lil pup is also very sweet and got along very well with our picky, not-usually-a-dog-person dog, Roxy, which says a lot. Anyway, look no further, we highly recommend choosing Geri for your doggy needs!!”

“Nuvea was amazing! She’s super nice and took such good care of my two dogs while I was away. They looked so happy and relaxed when I picked them up. She really treated them like her own, and that means so much to me. I’ll definitely be bringing them back next time — highly recommend her! 🐶💖”

“Judith was amazing. She was very good at communicating and sent me lots of pictures of my dog (even though my dog is camera shy). She was really flexible and worked with me when my schedule changed a bit. I will be picking to send Vexy to her house next time we need a Rover.”


“Lacey was so great with communication and getting our dog Tucker to feel comfortable at her home. He loved his stay and we will definitely be rebooking with Lacey in the future!”

About: I’ve grown up with both dogs and cats, and have been a huge animal lover my whole life. I’ve always been a sitter for friends and family in need and figured I might as well expand my services. I have a big home and yard, with plenty of grass and room to run. Our home is very pet friendly, and they pretty much are free to roam as they please. My husband and I keep the home clean, but cozy. We have kids, cats, and dogs and everyone gets along. We keep the upstairs blocked off so the cats have their own space to play and relax. There are tile floors for a cool place to nap, dog beds, cat trees, and plenty of toys. I’m a nurse and CPR certified, so your fur baby is safe with me. I only ask that your pet is friendly, and if you have a dog that they are a minimal barker as we like to keep our neighbors happy. I can help with potty training, bathing, and medicines too…whatever your pet needs. All you need to provide is your pets favorite food. I’ll take care of the rest. I work part time as a nurse, usually during the nights and my husband is a stay at home dad. I have plenty of time and energy to devote to your fur baby. I have a large home and yard with plenty of grass. There are also several dog parks within our community for your fur baby to play.
“Alan & Joe were great with our dogs. They sent photos and videos to keep us updated throughout the week. The boys got lots of love and many walks! The pups were happy and stress free during their stay.”

“This was the best experience I’ve had with someone watching Porkchop! Osamu and Darrel were so loving and kind, and very understanding of an almost-17-year old dog. They gave lots of updates and pictures and helped him get his medicine with ease. They took him on walks, helped noticed how he’s aging, and offered great suggestions. I could not recommend anyone more. I’m so glad they are caring for animals! Thank you both!”

“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!!!”

“Elaine was so kind and attentive to Mimi - She loved her stay even though it was for an extended time (15 days) -I was able to thoroughly enjoy my vacation without having to worry about my little girl .. I’m really sad that we’ll be moving next week to San Diego…. I would continue to use Elaine’s services if I was not … Thank you again !”

Thank you Katie for the care and the sharing of photos of them while we were traveling. Katie is highly recommend from us and our two pups.”

“She was great, she allowed me to meet her before the date. Made me feel comfortable leaving my baby girl with her. Sent me photos and feedback daily to let me know how she was doing. April was great!!”

“Taurawa is wonderful! She has turned her home into doggy sanctuary with plenty of space for them to run around and cozy spaces to curl up in. I booked with her very last minute and she made everything easy and was very attentive and communicative. I felt totally comfortable leaving my dog with her and she sent lots of pics showing him looking happy and relaxed, and he is a total velcro dog so being relaxed away from me is no small feat! Highly recommend booking with her--your pup will thank you!”

“Alfonso was such a fantastic Rover - if i could give him more stars, I would! He was super communicative and his dog Phife couldn't have been a better new dog friend. Super sweet, playful and gentle. I will absolutely be booking Alfonso again. 10/10 recommend!”

“Alice has a nice oasis in Joshua Tree for my two dogs. They’ve never traveled away from home so her care was wonderful and comforting. Her two dogs made friends and welcomed my two boys with play and fun. I would ask Alice to care for my boys the next time I am in Joshua Tree!”

“We were so fortunate to have Aricela watch our foster dog when we had to travel out of the area u expectedly. She accommodated a last minute meet & greet and patiently listened to everything we knew about the dog. She was kind in her interactions with our pup. When we took him back to board he was like a confident kindergartner…one look over his shoulder and away he went! She kept us apprised of how he was doing & send photos to validate it. Thank you so much Araceli.”

About: I’ve had cats since I was a teenager, starting with my very first pet. I’m familiar with caring for cats in multi-pet households and understand that cats thrive on routine, calm energy, and respect for their space.

About: I've fostered kittens from a young age. Not only that but my 2 cats of 8 years have physical disabilities. One is blind and I've helped her adapt so well to different environments. I've grown up around so many besides my own.

About: I have years of hands-on experience caring for cats of all ages and personalities, from playful kittens to senior cats. I understand feeding routines, litter box care, administering basic medications, grooming, and giving shy or nervous cats the patience they need to feel comfortable.

About: I grew up on a farm with all types of animals and I love taking care of them. Ive had dogs and cats all my life. I currently have two chihuahs, a German Shepard, and two cats. They are all friendly and used to other dogs and cats. I have experience taking care or kittens, cats, puppies, small dogs, and large dogs. I will walk them several times a day and play with them. I can house them overnight, watch them for the day, or just walk them. I have two separate gated yards where they can run around and play. They can also come inside the house since my pets are allowed anywhere in the house that I am. I have reliable transportation if housesitting is needed and I am available all the time.

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my genuine passion for cats and attention to their unique needs. With over 15 years of experience, I’m well-versed in caring for cats of all temperaments and understand that each cat requires a different approach. I’m comfortable administering medications, handling picky eaters, and even go the extra mile to ensure their space is clean, from fresh water and food bowls to cleaning litter boxes. I treat every cat like family, making sure they feel loved, safe, and as comfortable as they are with you. Your cat’s happiness and well-being are truly my top priorities!
“James is a fantastic, prompt and effective sitter! We have an 18 year old blind & deaf cat who requires a lot of affection and attention since he’s a little lost in space these days. James gave Tippy a routine every morning & evening and he was always on time & on top of everything we asked for which gave us so much peace of mind. We haven’t been able to travel since Tips needs more care but now that we found James we can and are so grateful. Thanks so much, James; we will be in touch about future trips. Tippy misses you already!! 😹”


About: Since I was a baby I’ve been around and cared for cats, a large amount at a time too! I’ve had stray cats and those I’ve adopted or gotten from friends to love. I’ve always loved taking care of cats and playing with them is my favorite past time. I’ve learned a lot about cats and their behaviors over the years and have also socialized the strays I had to be integrated with the cats I already had. It’s a long process but a much needed one. I care so deeply about them and never want a cat to be mistreated or misunderstood. I’d take the very best care of all your cats and know that I’ll be their new favorite human with a bit of cat bribery of course :)

“What a wonderful experience with Alfonso being there at the last minute to help with my dogs while at Joshua Tree. He was a great caretaker, very kind and great with my girls. I will definitely recommend Alfonso and request his help in the future! 5 stars.”

“Although my daughter's service dog goes with us everywhere, we decided it was best to leave him in capable hands while we enjoyed a tip to the Living Desert near Palm Springs, CA. Nuvea was available last minute to care for Huckleberry in her home. He enjoyed a play date with a few fellow canines and a cat. Nuvea was able to accommodate treat time and dinner for him and excursions in her backyard. When we returned Huckleberry was happy and ready to resume his care for his girl. We were pleased he had a safe and cool home to rest in while in our absence. I highly recommend Nuvea and her happy pup safe home for care.”
“Viviana and her family are amazing. They took such fantastic care of my boy. Since he is a special needs dog, it takes someone special to give him the care he needs. Viviana did a fantastic job. I think he wanted to stay with her more than coming back home with me lol! I will be coming back to Viviana whenever my boy needs boarding or other care. Thank you!”

About: Welcome! My name is Donna. Growing up, animals were always a big part of our family, so much so later in life I started a non-profit organization dedicated to helping animals in need. I’m passionate about animal health and safety and provide a safe, loving environment where your dog will feel safe, loved, and part of our family while you’re away. We live in secured community where your dog can enjoy playtime, relax indoors, and feel at home. We also have a sweet Cocker Spaniel named Chloe who is very social and loves dogs and people. I especially love caring for senior dogs and can accommodate administering medication, provided you leave clear written instructions. Your dog will receive plenty of love, attention, and personalized care during their stay. I look forward to hearing from you! Please note “no aggressive dogs.” Please provide vaccine paperwork. Please tell me all about your dog’s routine so I can accommodate what they use to. I enjoy engaging and socializing with the dogs in my care, so they are happy and at ease. If they prefer naptime instead of play or prefer to just chill, I can accommodate that as well. A typical day would start with potty outside and breakfast. Our yard is secure but for those who are comfortable walking on a leash, I take them on a walk around the neighborhood to start their day and provide activity.
“It was a pleasure meeting with Carl, He got good care of my pup and have a lovely house. I will ask Carl for help again when I’m back here for mineral spirits water. Thank you Carl!”

“Very kind couple that were super easy to work with and had a lovely home. They helped give me some much needed peace of mind by watching my dog over the span of a week as I worked on a project.”

“FANTASTIC!!!! I was a first time user of not only Rover but pet sitting. I have a hyper, large almost 1yr old puppy who is very goofy but also has extreme separation anxiety so needless to say I was very nervous Frankie loved April sooooo much, didn’t even notice we left 😳🤣 and when we got home was being loved on the sofa and didn’t even jump off to greet us and that says all there is to say 💕”

“I've never left my new rescue dog with anyone and I didn't think he'd do well with a lot of dogs at a normal day care because he can get overwhelmed and defensive. Judith is a dog person. She understands them and was a great sitter. Once Goedy and her dog got to know each other they played and wrestled all day! I felt very comfortable knowing he was in a safe place and also having fun. Would 1000% leave my pup with Judith again.”

“My husband works remote and had to travel for a conference pretty abruptly, so I was looking for doggy day care just a few days in advance and Katie was accommodating and easy to communicate with. Kugel had a great time and I know we’ll come back to Katie again!”

“BEST… and I mean the best dog sitters you will ever find. Mike is more a friend now than just my dog sitter. I cannot thank them enough for the special way they love my dog ocean. She always has a wonderful time and I appreciate the way Mike and stephen take care of their dogs! Thank you guys, ocean and I look forward to seeing you soon :)”

About: For many years I've taken care of animals. I have acquired an ability to adapt to the needs of specific pets. Whatever they need, I'm there. I'm detail oriented and very observant when it comes to animals. Rest assured, I will make sure your baby is taken care of to the best of my ability. Comfort and care are my priorities.

I always keep my pets comfortable and clean. From grooming, to cleaning bedding and washing out bowls. I'm very cautious to any contaminates that can compromise the safety of a pet. Bacteria is especially rampant in outdoor areas, so I make sure my dogs are clean in the area they sleep/eat.

I have extra time to help others with their fur babies. I love being around dogs. Im very aware of surroundings, especially with a fur baby. Once when taking my babies on a walk, they were attacked by another dog and it made me become even more protective than I was. I know how it feels to have people not respect the rules that we make for our babies, so I will always be so respectful of everything that is expected/ not expected.

About: I've grown up with dogs, taking care of them regularly. Living in the desert has equipped me with the skills to care for animals in a harsh climate such as constantly providing water, scheduling walks out of the heat, and watching out for wildlife.

About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life—especially large breeds. Growing up, our home was always full of wagging tails large and small. Caring for our family dogs came as naturally as anything else. That early bond with animals shaped my love for pet care, and today, I’m lucky enough to share my life with my own Golden Retriever. I’m also an active duty service member, which means I bring a strong sense of responsibility, reliability, and attention to detail into everything I do—including caring for your pet. Whether it’s a walk, a weekend stay, or just some extra playtime, I treat every dog like my own: with patience, affection, and respect. Pet care is a natural part of my daily life. As a dog owner myself, my wife and I have a consistent routine that includes morning and evening playtime in our yard. , feeding, playtime, and training sessions. Being in the military, I’m used to structure and time management, which makes it easy to plan and prioritize pet care throughout my week. Whether it’s making time for a long walk after work or adjusting my schedule for a pup who needs extra attention, I’m always ready to give pets the care and companionship they deserve. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, my approach is the same: create a safe, comfortable, and loving environment where pets feel at ease. In my home, I make sure dogs have plenty of space to relax, play, and feel like part of the family—including my own friendly Golden Retriever, who loves having a buddy around. I stick to your pet’s routine as closely as possible, from feeding schedules to preferred walking times and any special care instructions. When I’m in a client’s home, I treat it with the same respect and care as I do my own. I pay close attention to your pet’s behavior and comfort, keep everything clean, and make sure they get plenty of affection and activity. Whether it’s a drop-in visit or an overnight stay, I always prioritize communication so you feel informed and confident while you’re away.

Do you work nights and hate leaving your babies alone? Are you going to a fancy dinner and want to make sure your pets are okay when you're gone? I can come by and give you some peace of mind. I can also care for other pets, including lizards, fish, hamsters, rabbits, etc. I am a huge animal lover. I adopted a senior dog years ago and he was the best dog ever, up until his very last day in December, 2023. Our household has water snails, fish, three cats, a dog, and a pig! I have experience with rabbits and hamsters and other small pets, and I have experience with special needs animals. My longest boarding to date was 5 months for a senior cat with Cerebellar hypoplasia. My schedule recently changed, so I am available on most days for drop-ins and walks. I also offer boarding, house sitting, and daycare. We are a very animal friendly household. I have a fenced yard and a kiddie pool so your doggos can play and keep cool! My piggy will be there to keep your baby company and I have a 14 year old kid who loves to snuggle and play with all your pets! Cats will enjoy their own space so they can feel comfortable ☺️ !!!Important Notes!!!: I love watching and caring for your snuggle bug(s)! However, I have to sleep too. If you can't pick up your pet before 7pm, one additional day of boarding or doggy daycare will be added to your booking. An additional fee will be added for dogs over 40 pounds. Dogs under 1 year and/or "bully breeds" will be accepted on a case-by-case basis. By booking with me, you acknowledge that if your puppo damages property, you are responsible for any cost of repairs or replacement. When damage occurs, it is usually caused by pets that do not crate or have high anxiety when left alone for even short periods. My policy on dog breeds and sizes is in place because of two separate incidents. First, I lost a beloved pet to a boarded Rover doggo on Christmas morning, 2020. Having to put my little pig Minnie in the freezer after being attacked on Christmas morning was a horribly traumatic experience. In June 2023 I was attacked by a 110lb Rover dog at a meet and greet and had to go to the hospital. If the owner had not been present, I would have been killed. These are incidents that I will not risk repeating. Thank you so much for understanding!
About: I’ve taken care of pets all my life and have a husky of my own who is my world. I also go around town and feed homeless dogs as well. I’m currently working from home therefore, I’m able to care for your baby anytime. I’m up early and we go for daily walks and play. I have a huge fenced yard for your fur baby to play and I also have a 3 year old male Husky named Mikey who is very friendly and will keep your baby company as well. I also have a crate if needed.
About: I’ve been a pet owner since a very young age. Growing up and falling in love with pets, I’ve continued to own and care for my own animals and I will make sure yours are loved and taken care of too! 🐾 I work for myself, so I can do this no problem. It works for me and I know it’ll work for you and your pets. I have a fenced yard and can gladly come to your house if I need to. I’ve cared for both indoor and outdoor pets, so I can work with the preference of your pet and their individual needs.
“Kevin is unbelievably kind and wonderful -such a nice man and just helpful beyond belief. My dog is definitely having an adjustment period and does not want to leave her mama. He has been incredibly patient with her trying everything he can to get her to trust him and actually leave the house with him. We’ll get there and it’s all because of his patience and flexibility -again his senior dog expertise is beyond compare.”

“Viviana was amazing!!! When we went to go pick up our dog she didn’t even want to come home and would rather have stayed with them 🤣 that’s how much our dog loved Viviana and her husband! This was our first time having someone dog sit and it went absolutely prefect. I also received updates on how our dog was doing and that was the best! I will be re-booking with Viviana in the future! My husband and I were extremely pleased with the experience. Thank you all so much.”

“Ary has been the best sitter! Highly recommend! She is so sweet and takes the best care of our girl and our pup doesn’t love everyone but LOVES staying with Ary!! Thank you so much again.”

“Judith was amazing. She was very good at communicating and sent me lots of pictures of my dog (even though my dog is camera shy). She was really flexible and worked with me when my schedule changed a bit. I will be picking to send Vexy to her house next time we need a Rover.”


“Lacey was so great with communication and getting our dog Tucker to feel comfortable at her home. He loved his stay and we will definitely be rebooking with Lacey in the future!”

About: I’ve grown up with both dogs and cats, and have been a huge animal lover my whole life. I’ve always been a sitter for friends and family in need and figured I might as well expand my services. I have a big home and yard, with plenty of grass and room to run. Our home is very pet friendly, and they pretty much are free to roam as they please. My husband and I keep the home clean, but cozy. We have kids, cats, and dogs and everyone gets along. We keep the upstairs blocked off so the cats have their own space to play and relax. There are tile floors for a cool place to nap, dog beds, cat trees, and plenty of toys. I’m a nurse and CPR certified, so your fur baby is safe with me. I only ask that your pet is friendly, and if you have a dog that they are a minimal barker as we like to keep our neighbors happy. I can help with potty training, bathing, and medicines too…whatever your pet needs. All you need to provide is your pets favorite food. I’ll take care of the rest. I work part time as a nurse, usually during the nights and my husband is a stay at home dad. I have plenty of time and energy to devote to your fur baby. I have a large home and yard with plenty of grass. There are also several dog parks within our community for your fur baby to play.
“Alan & Joe were great with our dogs. They sent photos and videos to keep us updated throughout the week. The boys got lots of love and many walks! The pups were happy and stress free during their stay.”

About: I have lived all my life in the South Bay. I went to school in Rolling Hills, I went to College in Long Beach. I have worked in the Aerospace industry since the 1980's. In 2012 rescued a Pitbull from a abusive life. So I immersed myself in learning the Dog Whispers' training methods. I have had a dog ever since my third birthday. I have worked with Dachshunds, Schnauzer Terriers, Golden Retrievers, Pitbull's, Poodles, Shih Tzu, and Beagles. I believe all dogs have been given to mankind to show us how to live life. Unconditional love, live in the moment, don't worry and greet everyone with excitement and love. In conclusion, I will always treat you family member as my own and love taking care of them. I am retired so I am very flexible. I currently Walk dogs for elderly people at the Apache Mobile Home park. I am looking to expanding my services outside the park. I have fenced yard and my home is open to the dogs I care for and I have water and treats available. Your pets are welcomed to my couches and dog beds or pet cage.
“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!!!”

“Taurawa is wonderful! She has turned her home into doggy sanctuary with plenty of space for them to run around and cozy spaces to curl up in. I booked with her very last minute and she made everything easy and was very attentive and communicative. I felt totally comfortable leaving my dog with her and she sent lots of pics showing him looking happy and relaxed, and he is a total velcro dog so being relaxed away from me is no small feat! Highly recommend booking with her--your pup will thank you!”

“Alfonso was such a fantastic Rover - if i could give him more stars, I would! He was super communicative and his dog Phife couldn't have been a better new dog friend. Super sweet, playful and gentle. I will absolutely be booking Alfonso again. 10/10 recommend!”

“Carl was the best Rover!!!!! Our dog Phoebe instantly bonded with him and his pups. Very clean house. Beautiful back yard for playing. He took great care of Phoebe and she adjusted great, which isn’t always the case. He send daily updates and even let Phoebe snuggle with him while sleeping, which she is used to at home. So nice she was welcomed as part of the family! We will definitely be using Carl in the future! 5/5 stars!”

“Todd was exceptional! I have a rescue that hasn’t been left alone since I got her 2.5 years ago. Todd agreed to meet even before committing to a longer stay and it was great. He is a dog lover! He made my Maggie feel so loved and communicated with me throughout her stay. When we picked her up after her 3 day stay she was happy and showed zero signs of any changes whatsoever. It was clear that she was well cared like we would! Will definitely use Todd again. Very kind ❤️”

“I felt very comfortable leaving my pit bull with Tony. She is a senior dog, so I appreciated the updates on how she was eating and pooping. Tony sent lots of pictures and communicated promptly. Cici had a nice relaxed time and I could tell that Tony was very caring.”

About: GROWING UP, MY MOM ONLY ALLOWED US TO HAVE CATS AS PETS. WHEN I WAS 20-YEARS OLD, I ADOPTED MY FIRST PUPPY FROM THE LONG ISLAND, NEW YORK ANIMAL SHELTER. HE WAS AN AKITA/GERMAN SHEPPARD MIX & WE HAD HIM FOR 17-YEARS UNTIL WE HAD TO PUT HIM TO SLEEP 😞. I ADOPTED 4 OTHER PUPPIES AFTER THAT. I EMJOY THE COMPANY OF PETS MORE THEN I ENJOY THE COMPANY OF PEOPLE LOL 😂. PETS ARE MORE LOYAL. I KNOW THAT WE ALL TREAT OUR PETS LIKE OUR CHILDREN, SO WE SHOULD SPARE NO EXPENSE WHEN IT COMES TO PET SITTING/BOARDING. I AM CURRENTLY UNEMPLOYED, SO MY SCHEDULE IS COMPLETELY OPEN. ALSO, MY PROFESSION IS WORKING AS EXECUTIVE ASSISTANT, SO I GET TO WORK REMOTELY. I CAN PROVIDE THE BEST CARE & ATTENTION ACCORDING TO MY SCHEDULE. OUR PROPERTY HAS AN EAST & WEST LAWN AREA THAT IS FENCED IN & SAFE. WE HAVE 3 VERY FRIENDLY & LOVABLE DOGS (6-YEAR OLD WHITE GERMAN SHEPPARD, 13-YEAR OLD COTTON DETULIA & 6-MONTH OLD BOXER). SAFETY & TRUST IS ALWAYS THE MOST IMPORTANT ASPECT OF PET SITTING/BOARDING. MAKING SURE THAT BOTH HUMAN & PET ARE HAPPY & GET ALONG.
“Brandon is a total gem! He and Billy are both so kind and caring. My two pups took to them immediately and had a wonderful time. Brandon is a great communicator and provided timely updates. I had a little mix-up with my dates, and Brandon was so flexible and accommodating with the change. I can't recommend them enough and my two pups can't wait to stay with them again.”

“Bo was awesome. My pups were well taken care of. Bo was responsive and helpful and I appreciate how understanding he was with this last minute booking. I will definitely use him again.”

“kevin was very attentive and wanted to make sure he kept our pups’ routine the same. he was patient with our nervous pup. his pups were excellent with our dogs too. he is very responsive. would book with kevin again!”

“We had such a great experience with Mike watching Mazie! It honestly felt like Mazie had her own little vacation while we were away. She got to swim, play with another dog, and came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well taken care of. Mike kept us updated with messages and photos, which made it so easy to relax knowing she was having such a fun time. It’s clear he really cares about the dogs he watches. We’d absolutely trust Mike with Mazie again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a great dog sitter. 🐶🌴”
