We had such an amazing experience with Joy and her husband Luis! They took wonderful care of Bodhi over the weekend. They were incredibly sweet and attentive, making sure he felt comfortable and loved. I really appreciated the consistent updates, messages, and adorable pictures throughout the weekend—it gave me such peace of mind! We will definitely book with them again.

Jackson took excellent care of our little dog for overnight boarding. He was available on short notice on a holiday weekend, and always responded quickly to my questions and inquiries. He has a great home and our dog looked comfortable and well cared for. He sent photo updates as well. All of this put our minds at ease. I later learned that Jackson also does grooming. I highly recommend Jackson and will be utilizing his services again when we are in the area and also I will refer him to my family and friends.

Brandon and Billy took fantastic care of Spencer while we were away. They kept us updated throughout his stay with photos. They went above and beyond to make him feel right at home. While we hate to have to leave him while we travel, we are so grateful to know what good and caring people Brandon and Billy are to our pup.

About: Hi, I’m Gema! I have 10+ years of experience in veterinary care and 8+ years as a professional dog groomer, allowing me to provide attentive, knowledgeable, and compassionate care while your dog is in my home. Pet care is fully integrated into my daily routine. My schedule is structured around feeding, exercise, medication administration, grooming upkeep, and close health monitoring. I provide calm, attentive, boutique-style care and limit the number of dogs I accept so each pet receives individualized attention in a clean, peaceful home. My veterinary background helps me confidently monitor health, recognize changes in behavior, and administer medications as instructed, while my grooming experience means I’m comfortable handling dogs of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments and keeping them clean and comfortable. I focus on reducing stress and creating a calm, positive environment. I treat every dog like family and strive to provide a safe, clean, and loving home while you’re away.

About: I’ve been a dog lover my entire life, and dogs have always been a central part of my home and my heart. Over the years I’ve cared for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments, so I’m comfortable handling everything from daily routines to those moments when a pup isn’t feeling their best. I take pride in making sure every dog in my care gets plenty of walks, playtime, and the kind of attention that keeps their tail wagging. Whether your dog needs a calm companion or an enthusiastic play session, I’m here for all of it and will treat them like my own. I’m retired and home all day every day, so your dog will always have someone around. I’m around morning, afternoon, and evening love having a pup by my side throughout the day. I live in a condo with access to a fenced yard, so there’s a safe spot outside for fresh air and playtime whenever your pup needs it. I have a dog of my own at home, so your dog will have a buddy to hang out with as well.

She was so sweet and gave some extra TLC to our dog who was exhibiting separation anxiety. She gave us daily updates and our dog was very well cared for. We will definitely use her again in the future!

He had wonderful friends to play with and made some good buddies, which are her dogs so anytime he goes back those good buddies will be there. I think she did a great job I'm really pleased and yes, we'll go again! Trish and Keko

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.

About: With 25 years of animal care experience, a deep love for animals, a flexible schedule, and excellent references, I'll meet all of your pet care needs. Educated and empathetic, I 'get' people and their animals, and enjoy providing the same level of care that I give my own beloved dog. I'll always bend over backward to ensure that both you and your pet have a wonderful experience. Pet-sitting is a choice for me, and one that I'm making because I love to meet and care for animals. I look forward to making your day or week better by caring for your pet and/or your home while you are away. If there's anything I can do to make your day easier, just ask! I look forward to meeting you! I have a flexible work schedule, and I’m able to work at home whenever I like. I love to get out and run and walk, and can provide just about any breed as much exercise as they need. Unfortunately, my building has some breed restrictions including pit bulls and wolf breeds. I’m happy to look after all breeds for housesitting and walks. I only take one dog at a time into my home, unless it is a bonded pair. I do strongly prefer a meet and greet before hand so we can make sure it is a good fit, both for your pup and for my home. I am committed to making this a positive experience for all of us.I love dogs and will care for your dog as though it were my own.

About: I have taken care of my family members’ and friends’ dogs. I take them out for walks and follow their schedule, if they have one. I am a part time student and can look after and or check in with your pets whenever needed depending on my own personal schedule. I provide a safe, comfortable environment for pets in my home. My backyard is fully fenced, and I have a friendly dog who is well-socialized with other animals. I always supervise interactions and closely monitor pets for any unusual behaviors or signs of stress. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special care instructions, to help your pet(s) feel secure and comfortable.

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.

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: I currently volunteer at Animal Samaritans, an animal shelter located in Thousand Palms. I've been volunteering for 1 year now and I specialize in the need and care of cats and dogs. My skills can vary from providing companionship to all pets, to special maintenance and cleaning services! Apart from volunteering at a shelter, it is my ultimate goal to work alongside pets all-day, providing not only intensive care but love and compassion to your Fur Babies! My schedule is very flexible as I can fit extensive time for pet care and extracurricular activities such as dog walking. I am currently taking full online courses. I spend most of my days in the comfort of my home alongside my outdoor hobbies. I am available Monday- Sunday and on Holidays. I live in a pet-friendly large home with a friendly kitten and a spacious backyard. Many treats and playtime are always a necessity! There is a community pet-friendly park within a 5-minute walking distance. A 6ft wide fence is provided!

About: With a lifetime of hands-on experience caring for animals, I bring both knowledge and genuine compassion to every pet I look after. I’ve raised a wide variety of animals over the years, and from a young age I’ve always had a heart for helping—often taking in and caring for strays in need. Today, I continue that passion on my small ranch, where I care for animals daily and understand their unique needs, behaviors, and personalities. My experience includes feeding routines, basic health awareness, administering simple care, and creating a safe, calm environment for animals of all kinds. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, or needs a little extra attention, I’m patient and attentive to what makes them feel secure and happy. I also offer faith-based care, treating every animal with kindness, respect, and a sense of purpose. I believe in providing a peaceful, loving environment where your pet will feel at home and well cared for while you’re away. As a stay-at-home mom, I’m home throughout the day and able to give animals consistent care and attention. I check on them in the morning, midday, and evening to make sure they’re fed, comfortable, and getting the care they need. My daily routine allows me to provide a steady, safe, and attentive environment for every pet. I provide safe, reliable care by respecting each pet’s unique needs. I follow owner instructions closely, maintain a secure environment, and make sure every fur baby feels comfortable and cared for. You can have peace of mind knowing your animal is in trustworthy, compassionate hands.

Joan is very kind and caring and did a great job looking after our dog, Maple. She took the time to meet Maple before looking after her, took her on a walk and sent us frequent updates. Maple seemed very happy while staying with Joan. We will definitely be reaching out to Joan for pet sitting next time we are in the area.

About: I own my own home in a beautiful community in Indio.My backyard is fully enclosed. I have had dogs all my life...every breed, from small terriers to greyhounds! I work from home, therefore am able to give my full attention and presence to my "guests". I live with Callie, my little mini Labradoodle...no small children, no cats...just us! I'm well versed in giving medication , both orally and via injection. I would love to care for your pet. About this sitter: I am a total dog lover, well-educated, own my own home and am very athletic and fit. Your pet will enjoy not only a comfortable home while you are away, but also have the fun of walks, hikes (if desired!) and tons of affection! If you would prefer to have your dog stay in his/her own environment, I would be happy to discuss a stay at your home. I have great references and you would enjoy the peace of mind of having your pup in their own environment with a well-qualified, reliable "surrogate mom"! Why I love dog sitting I've been a dog lover all my life and have owned dogs..large and small...throughout the years. I now own my little Labradoodle, Callie.

My whole day is devoted to animal care. I have three horses and three well behaved dogs. Additional pets are not a problem and if your pet doesn't like the hustle and bustle, there will be a quiet and safe place for them to rest. I have horses and well behaved dogs that are my life (also very expensive) and I have knowledge of how to keep everyone safe and happy.

Katie was extremely caring and calming for my dog. My dog has pretty severe separation anxiety and is quite particular about who she will stay with - I am also a “helicopter dog mom”. Katie was able to quickly calm her, show her love and cuddle her. Katie was kind and sent me frequent updates and pictures. I plan on having Katie watch my dog whenever I need a sitter and implicitly trust her!

About: I’ve always loved animals since childhood, growing up with my parents always rescuing strays. Over the years, I’ve developed strong skills in dog care, focusing on comfort and trust. What sets me apart as a dog sitter is my ability to make pets feel at ease through a comforting touch, a unique scent I wear to ensure they recognize me, and creating a calming environment where they feel safe and cared for. I also always make sure to send pet owners picture updates of their pets to ensure they’re doing okay and to always ask questions if I am unsure about anything. Pet care is a big part of my daily routine! I’m always available because I’m passionate about making pet sitting my full-time career. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, or just hanging out with pets, I love spending time with them and making sure they’re happy and comfortable. Caring for pets feels natural to me, and I’m excited to make it a regular part of my life! In both my home and my clients’ homes, I make sure pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable. I stick to their usual routines, whether that’s feeding, walks, or playtime, and I provide plenty of attention and affection. I always stay with them every step of the way, showering them with pets and ensuring they’re comfortable with me and their surroundings. I create a calm, stress-free environment, and if needed, I bring familiar items like toys or blankets to help them feel at home. My goal is to make sure they feel completely relaxed, loved and cared for!

About: I’ve had both dogs and cats since I was 5 years old, giving me more than 40 years of hands-on experience caring for pets. I understand that every animal has its own unique personality and needs, and I take the time to provide the individualized care, patience, and attention each pet deserves. Pet care has always been a part of my daily routine. I structure my schedule to ensure pets receive the attention, exercise, feeding, medication (if needed), and companionship they deserve. Whether it’s morning walks, playtime, maintaining their regular routines, or simply providing comfort and affection, I enjoy making pets a priority and treating them like family. When caring for pets in my clients’ homes, I make it a priority to maintain their normal routines and keep them comfortable in their familiar environment. I follow all instructions regarding feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications, and any special care needs. I understand that every pet is unique, so I take the time to learn their personalities, preferences, and routines. My goal is to provide dependable, loving care while giving pet owners peace of mind knowing their pets are safe, happy, and well cared for while they’re away.

About: I have had my own dogs since I was a new born. The first were big dogs. A golden retriever and a brittney spaniel. As of currently my family consists of 3 little doggies and a hognose snake. Rags is my wired haired Doxie, Archie is my Chihuahua terrier mix, and Tessa is relatively unknown but we think she’s a corgi mixed with a chihuahua. My hognose is named morty. I rescued that love bug from his very forgetful (previous) owner. I’m working part time and I also door dash, Uber, instacart. I strive for my ability to be independent. I usually work my butt off for three days and stay home with the animals for the rest of the week. I figure spending more time with my animals I’d be happier. I am happier. Animals are like a zen zone for me. They’re easier to talk to and be playful self with. I keep my dogs food and water replenished. For my neighbors dogs that I occasionally watch from time and time again dude to her surgeries, I make sure they go out every 3 hours and I don’t feed them till 8am and 6 pm every day.

About: I love dogs and grew up having all types of breeds but I am any pet friendly. I have had snakes, tortoises, a bunny and now I have a cat! My dog knowledge comes mostly from personal experience that I have optained from my lifetime of being a pet owner. At the moment I don't have a doggy in my life but I need one. I would love to practice my trading, playing and dog walking until I can add a dog to my life but in the meantime I'll enjoy the company of any doggy that will let me. My schedule is very free and flexible. I work part time and do some volunteer work so even though I'm available 90 percent of the time knowing ahead of time what pet might need some attention would be very helpful. Now I have a fenced yard. It's small but there is a park just down the street. To keep the pet in my home, it would need to be crate trained since I have a cat indoors (at least I can know that both pets are safe. And if it's at a clients home then whatever works for the pet and owner. That may be preferable but it all depends

About: Hello my name is Jenny, I've taken care of a few dogs through my high school years and cats. My family friends have relied on me to take care of their pets and their home. I have four dogs of my own who I love very much. I have experience with senior dogs who need more assistance than others. My dog walks with three legs, she is blind from one eye, and she cannot hear very well so she needs a lot of my attention especially because she is an older dog. I am able to bathe them, trim their nails (if they have clear nails), and I am very patient with puppies as well. I have a few loyal customers and they usually let me know ahead of time when they need me to pet sit so me schedule is mostly flexible. I am a college student and I have other priorities, but pet sitting will be my source of income so my schedule will be flexible through my daily and weekly routine. I have four dogs of my own, two male and two female dogs. Two of my dogs are very play full, they can get frustrate around other dogs because they are not used to new dogs around the house, but I could easily crate your pet. I do have access to a doggy door, so they come in and out as they please. I do not have a feeding schedule for my dogs because they have their bowl full throughout the day and night. My dogs are well behaved, but my two male dogs are not operated and most of my clients don't want their female dogs close to them which is understandable. One of my female dogs is old and can barely walk so she isn't around hypered dogs because I am afraid she will get hurt and she has been hurt in the past by pets I have cared for. Depending how your pet is around with other dogs it will be very rear for me to pet sit at my home.

Jackson took excellent care of our little dog for overnight boarding. He was available on short notice on a holiday weekend, and always responded quickly to my questions and inquiries. He has a great home and our dog looked comfortable and well cared for. He sent photo updates as well. All of this put our minds at ease. I later learned that Jackson also does grooming. I highly recommend Jackson and will be utilizing his services again when we are in the area and also I will refer him to my family and friends.

Brandon and Billy took fantastic care of Spencer while we were away. They kept us updated throughout his stay with photos. They went above and beyond to make him feel right at home. While we hate to have to leave him while we travel, we are so grateful to know what good and caring people Brandon and Billy are to our pup.

Elizabeth was wonderful with our dog. We were out of town for 13 days and it’s the longest we’ve ever been away. She was so sweet and gave some extra TLC to our dog who was exhibiting separation anxiety. She gave us daily updates and our dog was very well cared for. We will definitely use her again in the future!

I'm not used to leaving my dog with other people. I have a wonderful German Shepherd, but he's moma's boy. I think his day was as good as it could be. He had wonderful friends to play with and made some good buddies, which are her dogs so anytime he goes back those good buddies will be there. I think she did a great job I'm really pleased and yes, we'll go again! Trish and Keko

About: With a lifetime of hands-on experience caring for animals, I bring both knowledge and genuine compassion to every pet I look after. I’ve raised a wide variety of animals over the years, and from a young age I’ve always had a heart for helping—often taking in and caring for strays in need. Today, I continue that passion on my small ranch, where I care for animals daily and understand their unique needs, behaviors, and personalities. My experience includes feeding routines, basic health awareness, administering simple care, and creating a safe, calm environment for animals of all kinds. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, or needs a little extra attention, I’m patient and attentive to what makes them feel secure and happy. I also offer faith-based care, treating every animal with kindness, respect, and a sense of purpose. I believe in providing a peaceful, loving environment where your pet will feel at home and well cared for while you’re away. As a stay-at-home mom, I’m home throughout the day and able to give animals consistent care and attention. I check on them in the morning, midday, and evening to make sure they’re fed, comfortable, and getting the care they need. My daily routine allows me to provide a steady, safe, and attentive environment for every pet. I provide safe, reliable care by respecting each pet’s unique needs. I follow owner instructions closely, maintain a secure environment, and make sure every fur baby feels comfortable and cared for. You can have peace of mind knowing your animal is in trustworthy, compassionate hands.

Diana (and her son) were perfect. They loved the boy and offered money for him if I ever wanted to sell him (just kidding). Couldn't have gone better.

Caroline and Patrick were just fantastic with our Lucy girl!! During our meet & greet, I could tell right away Lucy felt comfortable around them which made our trip away so much more relaxing. They were great communicators with sending pictures and updates throughout her stay, took her on plenty of walks, played ball and had lots of cuddle time! What a relief to have found someone in the area that is so reliable. They will definitely be our first call next trip. 😊

Tanya was an excellent choice for our 2 pups. They boarded at her home for 11 nights. She sent awesome pictures frequently. They settled in quickly and were super calm when we picked them up. We highly recommend Tanya and will use her services again when we return to the area next year.
