“Our pup Kevin stayed at Lacey’s for our wedding weekend in Joshua Tree— she was super awesome with getting us booked months in advance and the whole situation ended up perfect. Her place is spacious with a nice outdoor option and we felt Kev was well cared for— we appreciated flexible drop off/pick ups and photo updates. Would 100% want Kev to stay here again when we’re back:)”
“Juliann has a nice little boarding facility in her home. Juli took great care of my special needs dog (blind, neurological issues) while she was there. Juliann has the ability to keep her dogs separated from the boarding dogs or to integrate them depending on needs.”
“Elizabeth was very kind and accommodating to our medium sized dog for two nights while we visited Yucca Valley and Joshua Tree National Park. Her property has plenty of outdoor space and is well-fenced in and secure. She was a generous caretaker for our pup, and we will certainly keep her in mind for our future trips to the area. Thank you!”
“I can't thank you enough, Shawna! This was smudge's first boarding experience and it was clear that he felt safe, confident, and happy the whole time. I had a lot going on this trip and not worrying about him made a massive difference. I appreciate how accommodating, attentive, and thorough you are with pick-up and drop-off, care, and updates. Would definitely book again!”
“Larry took great care of our pet. This is my first time using a sitter instead of boarding and she was much happier and received his undivided attention. Lots of photos and great communication.”
“Monica was wonderful!! Our big guy George had a blast playing with her puppies. Monica sent tons of pictures and updates which I really appreciated. She loved George like we would which made going out of town so much easier! She even let him sleep on the bed with her which he doesn’t do at home haha! We will DEFINITELY use Monica again!!”
“Taura did wonderful with our dog! Taura was focused on making sure Honey was comfortable in her new surroundings and sent us lots of updates. We'll definitely use Taura in the future!”
“We absolutely loved Nina!! Her expertise and knowledge around dogs really showed, and made us feel so comfortable and confident leave our dog with her. Highly recommend!!”
“5 outta 5 barks! My little one has since stayed twice with Dana and what a wonderful fit! My girl comes back happy, healthy, tired and most importantly clean. So happy to have found her”
“Johna was amazing! She was flexible and understanding when we had to change our drop off time by a day. We got multiple photos everyday of our pup and she maintained communication throughout our pups stay. Would book again in a heartbeat.”
“We have boarded with Felice many times, always for many days in a row. I can’t find enough nice things to say about her and how much she loves our dog. She communicates well and loves our dog like he is her own! I highly recommend Felice!”
“Rocio received my high energy super anxious German Shepard husky with true patience! Received photos and videos of her napping and playing during her stay. Rocio was flexible, understanding and I received great communication. Very sweet and down to earth. Leia definitely enjoyed her time there. Will definitely be booking with Rocio again!”
“Grey was wonderful with Alfie. From the start she was super friendly and easy to communicate with, and she kept us updated with photos, which really put us at ease. Alfie looked so comfortable and happy with her. She seems like a genuinely kind person who loves animals, and we felt really lucky to have found her. We’d absolutely recommend Grey to anyone looking for someone caring and trustworthy looking after their fur babies : )”
“Dropped my dog off for the week for a Disney trip I was last minute but they were able to accommodate him still they were great with him and made sure he had plenty of time to play and hangout with the other dogs and kids and made sure to send pictures and keep me updated on the trip. I 1000% recommend them for any trips as they truly know how to take care of your pet like it’s there own.”
“Hugh and Mary were absolutely amazing with our girl, Olive! We boarded her with them from Friday through Monday while we were in Big Bear, and they made the entire experience so easy and stress-free. They sent us tons of photos and updates throughout the day of Olive playing with the other dogs, which we loved. You can tell they genuinely care about the pups they watch. They were also incredibly flexible and accommodating - they even told us we could pick Olive up anytime for walks or outings while we were around town, just with a quick 5-minute heads up. One thing that especially stood out was how seriously they take dog safety and temperament. During the initial introduction, they made sure Olive was not aggressive because they are very intentional about maintaining a safe, positive environment for all the dogs there. That immediately made us feel comfortable and at ease leaving her with them. Their home was basically Olive’s dream scenario - a 24/7 dog park with dogs playing, lounging on couches and beds, and getting tons of love and attention. She was truly living her best life. We would absolutely book with Hugh and Mary again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for caring, communicative, and trustworthy sitters!”
“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!!”
“Very pleased with Nuvea. Did a great job communicating, including updates and photosduring the boarding. Explained how she would transition my dog into her home with her drugs and cat. Would definitely rebook.”

“LeeAnn is such an amazing pet sitter! She's very quick and responsive, and sends the cutest pictures of pets! I'm so thankful she lives in the area <3 Thank you so much, LeeAnn! <3 Mamba and Liv”
“Elizabeth is a wonderful pet sitter. She is very friendly and focused on taking care of your fur baby. She is patient and our kitty loved her. We did rebook and it is a huge relief to know we can rely on Elizabeth to take care of our pride and joy, especially because she requires two injections of insulin per day. I highly recommend Elizabeth!”
“Greg took such good care of our two fur babies and we are so grateful. He went above and beyond our expectations and spent time giving the two kitties with very different personalities their own unique attention. He sent photo updates and is a great communicator. He even checked in to make sure we got back safe and the kitties weren’t alone. Greg is exactly what we never knew we were missing and relieved any worries about going on vacation and leaving the kitties behind. Thank you for everything!”
“Excellent experience with Shawna! She came by my house for cat visits/feeding while I was on a short trip. I really appreciated Shawna took the time to stop by before I left town to meet the cats. She also sent good updates & pictures!”
“Emily was so helpful during the time I was gone. She was very efficient to being on time and getting everything done for my cat while I was gone on vacation. I didnt even have to reach out to remind her of anything she was on top of everything which made it comforting while gone. Thank you so much!”
“Larissa was very professional, consistent, and thorough. Not a moments hesitation would there be to hire her again. Her communication was superb, as was her overall pet care and attention to detail. And I could tell from all the photos of my Kitty… that she agreed wholeheartedly, as well. A very happy little girl!”
“Jenny is very reliable and my kitty, Squirrel loved her. Upon returning from a weekend away, Squirrel was very content and comfortable. Jenny shared lots of photos and updates and went above and beyond what was requested of her.”
“Juliann was great! She kept my house in perfect shape and took such thoughtful care of my little rascal of a cat as well as allthe outdoor critters I feed. I came home to a happy pet and everything just as I left it. I felt totally at ease knowing she was here. Highly recommend!”
“Another great visit from BReN! We’re so lucky to have her nearby to check on Xochitl when we go away. The photos and updates never disappoint. It’s obvious what a tender heart she has for animals.”
“My cats have been noticeably less stressed since having Nina drop in when I’m outa town. Nina stays sometimes longer than contracted and sends updates and tons of photos, makes my time away from home that much more easy. 100% would recommend giving Nina an opportunity to take care of your pet children!”

“I absolutely love Salina!!!! This is the second time we've booked her and she is a wonderful sitter. Our kitties love her and she is kind, caring, and even sent a video of one of our cats chirping at her! We will always try to book her if we can. We know our kitties are always taken care of if she's around. :)”
“Tom did an excellent job taking care of my cat and house while I was away. He sent me daily updates with pictures, which I really appreciated. I felt relaxed on my trip knowing he was there with my cat and giving her special attention. I returned home and my cat was her happy and sweet self. I highly recommend Tom for any of your pet sitting or house sitting needs.”
“Vanessa was very timely and communicated with us while she visited with our puppy Hazel! She was so nice and made me feel much more at ease about leaving my little one home for the day. She sent pictures too! Vanessa rocks! Highly recommend!!”
“Katie did a couple of drop ins for my dog and 2 cats. They were all very comfortable with her and she gave them tons of attention! We would definitely recommend her to others and will use her for future trips!”
“Megan was wonderful with our two cats. She watched them over the holidays as we travelled, sending us updates and photos with each visit. She was willing to do a meet and greet before we finalized our booking with her and we immediately knew she was the right person to take care of our boys. This was our first time ever leaving J&J with someone other than family and friends and Megan made us feel secure in doing so. We will absolutely ask her to watch our babies again in the future. Thank you SO much, Magen. J&J already miss you ?”

“Juliann is fantastic. She watched our dog (Echo) twice while we were spending the day hiking in Joshua Tree NP. Echo was so excited to go back to Juliann’s house the second time, which is a testament to how comfortable and entertained Echo was there. We highly recommend Juliann.”
“We send our pup George to Monica for doggie day care and it has been a life saver!! She takes excellent care of him, gives him lots of love and he plays all day while we work- it’s the best!!”
“Lacey is incredible! She is communicative, kind, and truly a dog lover. Our first day, she balanced responsiveness and encouragement with ease for Gram to feel welcome in the very cute pack of new friends. She kept me in the loop and it was so fun to see his updates throughout the day! So happy to have found her and would feel no worries leaving Gram with her again!”
“Elizabeth is awesome! She put up with my lack of schedule clarity with grace, and was super great with my mini dachshund who spent two days with her and her dogs when my group finally got organized. She was super communicative, clearly loves and understands dogs, has a great, safe and fenced yard, and was -in short- everything I hoped for and needed to pull off our Joshua Tree NP adventure. I recommend her unequivocally, and would ask her help again anytime I am in the area with my dog.”
“Megan was very sweet and accommodating! Her home was the perfect set up for my big pup with lots of land to roam. Would leave my Riley with her again next time I’m in the Desert and need assistance!”
“I dropped my crazy 8 month old puppy off with Grey for the day while we explored non-friendly parts of Joshua Tree NP. It was so nice to let my puppy off leash and let her play with Billow! And I had Grey drop my pup off which was super helpful. I forgot to pack dinner for my pup and Grey fed her and sent her with extra food. You can tell that she really cares about the wellbeing of the dogs she cares for <3 Highly recommend! Your dog is in good hands with Grey and her dog crew! Highly recommend”
“Salina and her family were amazing. They were available pretty last minute for us and we’re super grateful for that. They were so easygoing and friendly throughout the whole process and they took great care of our big energetic boy. They’re local for us and are going to be our go to when we’re looking for a sitter or overnight care in the future.”
About: I’ve cared for dogs for the last 40 years—my own & others. I’m great with energetic dogs. Have also taken care of cats & birds & donkeys. I’m an author working on my second book, so my time is flexible. I have two dogs of my own but they don’t mind if I hang out with other animals. I have two dogs of my own—one from New York, the other a desert dog—so I understand the unique challenges of taking care of all types of dogs in this environment.
“I cannot say enough great things about Taura! My boys were with her two full days while I visited Joshua Tree and I had ZERO worries leaving them there. Laura was so welcoming and has such great space for dogs to run and play. This was great for them as we were on a cross-country road trip and they spent lots of time in the car. Taura was awesome at sending updates and videos, so I knew they were having fun the whole time. Taura is am amazing and interesting woman, and I think our paths will cross again. Taura- thank you from the bottom of my heart!!”
“Felice was extremely friendly and welcoming. I am very thankful she was able to watch my fur baby while my friends and I were exploring Joshua Tree while waiting to check into our Airbnb. Highly recommend!”
About: My name is Brittney, I am about to be 30 years young! I am very reliable, outgoing and steadfast. I have been caring for and house sitting for 12 years now! I get along easily with dogs, cats any animal really. Animals are very important to family's , children, seniors and I am always aware of my surroundings an can handle situations very well. I know animals are apart of most family's life so worrying is only our first instinct, but to know someone will be there to help, helps ease those worries. As I said before I am very reliable, and also have a daughter, she is 7, Being a single mom has made me more devoted to be better in every way possible! I work very early, am off bye noon, and have the weekends off! My mom is staying with me she also does Rover and helps in the mornings before she goes to work. I have a huge, fenced in yard very well gated. My house is clean, specially the floors for the fur babies to get around easily.
“Lauren was wonderful! She was our pup’s first Rover sitter. She was very friendly and put us all at ease. She communicated well with us. We would definitely call on her again for future dog sitting needs!”

“Hannah was great. She was very communicative and it was easy to find her place. My puppy had a great time running around with her dogs, he was very tired when he got back in the car after. We spent the day at Lassen Volcanic National Park and then had some driving to do after so it was great that he was tired out for the rest of the drive. Highly recommend Hannah if you’re driving through the area.”

About: I'm a mom of precious rescued pups myself and I've cared for animals for more than half of my life including volunteering my time at shelters, fostering dogs/cats until they found wonderful homes, and working with them to help socialize them with other animals. I’ve been with Rover now for 8 years and have loved working with my clients and their furry loved ones! I love and appreciate when my pet parents write out simple instructions of what their pups feeding amounts and routines are as well as anything they think I should be aware of like food allergies or sensitivities. That way I can easily keep track and no treats are given that may upset tummy. Also where they normally like to sleep when they’re at home. Knowing their routine helps me get to know them better! 🥰 I have a fully enclosed yard with a 6 foot chain link fence all the way around and there are no places to escape from our yard. We have 4 sweet dogs that will keep your pup company during their stay. You are welcome to bring a blanket or bed for your pup (at your own risk) Please don’t bring an expensive one as there’s a risk of getting chewed, torn, or peed on etc by other dogs at daycare. We have beds so you don’t have to bring one unless you would like to. This is their little vacation and we do our best to make it a great one for them 🥰🐾
About: I had a wonderful Husky growing up, He was always bursting with energy and personality, eager to run, explore, and snuggle up next to me whenever the day ended. Having him around taught me responsibility, patience, and just how strong the bond between a person and a dog can be. After high school, I adopted a Rottweiler of my own. Raising him from a young age helped me understand training, structure, and daily care better. Soon after, my mom needed some help with her cat, so I welcomed him into my home. For a while, I had both a dog and a cat living together—learning to balance their different personalities, needs, and routines. Later, when my husband and I moved into our own place, we added another furry family member—a sweet Corgi who joined us about two years later. Each pet has brought something special into my life and has helped me grow as a caregiver. I’ve gained hands-on experience with both dogs and cats—from energetic working breeds to loyal guardians and independent, affectionate cats. Caring for them isn’t just about feeding and walks—it’s about building trust, comfort, and a little friendship along the way. Pet sitting fits naturally into my routine since I work part-time with very flexible hours. I’m able to plan my schedule around visits, walks, and check-ins, whether they’re early mornings, midday, or evenings. Because I manage my own time, I can give pets consistent attention, unrushed care, and plenty of love throughout the week. I care for pets in my home and yours with the same level of love, patience, and attention I give my own. In my home, I create a calm, safe, and cozy environment where they can relax, play, and feel like part of the family. I adhere strictly to their regular routines—feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and bedtime habits—to ensure their security and comfort. In your home, I respect their space and maintain their familiar routine to minimize stress. I move at their pace, especially with shy or anxious pets, building trust through gentle interactions, consistency, and positive reinforcement. Whether it’s energetic playtime or quiet cuddles, I prioritize making each pet feel safe, understood, and truly cared for.
About: I have a wide variety of experience. Fostering shelter animals, caring for day old baby kittens. I've had ferrets and most everything else. Except I'm not fond of snakes. Anything furry please. I'm currently working part-time. Generally in the evenings. I can come by for care anytime before 3pm and be back around if needed by 10pm most nights I have great respect for other people's area. I am considerate, clean and honor privacy. I will leave the area better then when I arrived.

About: As a mom and dog owner myself, I am sensitive to the needs and feelings of animals as they are just like kids. I have taken care of animals my entire life, from small dogs, big dogs, territorial dogs, horses, cats, and a bunch of other creatures. We even have our own animal CBD line on the market for dogs in pain or with ptsd. I’m active, love to walk, believe in positive reinforcement. We have a perfect yard for animals to safely play and a large home with a loving family to make your loved one feel safe when they are missing their people. My dog friends end up calling me Auntie Sal as we take them in as family. I’m currently flexible and have the ability for same day walks, last minute trips and pop ins. I can work with your schedule most days. My husband is my tag team back as well. I have two fences in yards one for running and the other for safe play. I never leave them unattended. We are happy to follow your lead on crate training if desired. We provide toys and treats if you approve. We love park walks and have 2.5 acres to explore. We have the ability to keep dogs separate from ours if needed.
About: I have a farm and a lifelong love for all animals! Currently, I care for my three furry friends and livestock, ensuring they receive the best care possible. My hands on experience with a variety of animals and a trusted reputation among friends and family set me apart. I specialize in drop ins, walking, and occasional overnight pet care, providing attentive and personalized care for your pets. Whether it's a quick visit or a refreshing walk, your pets will be in good hands. Pet care is a big part of my daily routine! As of right now, I am free most days during the daytime or evening, unless stated. At a client’s house, I prioritize creating a comfortable environment for their pets by following their routine and preferences. I ensure they have plenty of exercise, companionship, and playtime, while also respecting the home’s guidelines. Communication is key, so I’ll provide regular updates and stay attentive to their pets' needs!
About: When you book with me, you are booking someone who has her own pets and knows what it's like to need someone else to take care of them when you're away. I am a pet parent with 4 dogs! Not only that, but I have numerous experience taking care of other's pets. I've taken care of family's, friend's, and neighbor's pets. I am also a caregiver on another pet app called Wag!

I also have my own car (am willing to do a good amount of driving), and am currently taking a break from school! I have a fenced front yard and backyard at my home! I do have 4 dogs, but they're all friendly! It would also be easy to separate your dog from my dogs, as well as keep yours or my dog in a crate (I have two extra in my home).
“Excellent walker. We used Vanessa as a quick substitute, and she did a great job. Very responsive, 30+ minute walks, and was very friendly to our beagle. I definitely recommend.”
“Elizabeth was awesome! She visited to walk and feed our 3 dogs and everything went smoothly. Each dog has their own quirks and Elizabeth took her time to make each dog feel comfortable. She left thorough notes in the app and was very communicative leading up to the visits. Would definitely recommend!”
“Shawna always arrived on time and took good care of my spotted babies! I love the rover report card and how it shows exactly where they walked! I recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable walker who is also very knowledgeable!”
“We are obsessed with Katie and so are our pups! One of our dogs has barked at every single person who has ever stepped foot in our house, everyone except Katie! And we tend to have a ton of guests, our minds were blown. We’ve met with Katie twice now, and each time she has been very intuitive, attentive, knowledgeable and”

About: Hi to all the dog mamas and papas out there! My name is Megan, I live in Flamingo Heights area of Yucca Valley, CA (near Joshua Tree) with my sweet Deedee, the dog. I am available for sitting services in the low desert and everything in the high desert! I have been handling, sitting, walking dogs for about 10+ years. I am a true lover of animals and really enjoy spending time with them and learning from them. I am very active but can adjust activities for whatever your pup needs: hiking, long walks, shorts walks, dog park socializing, one-on-one play dates with my 13 lb Chihuahua mix. I have spent time with dogs who have behavior issues, anxieties, mild aggressiveness and I am aware of what steps to take when dealing with them. I will provide your dog with undivided attention and with whatever comforts he/she needs. We've lived out here for 2+ years and are familiar with the extremities and how they could impact your pet, and will take extra precaution. We have a fully fenced 2 arces and a smaller fenced porch area so the pups can run or just soak up some rays. (I never leave dogs unattended in the yard!) I am also available to care for other pets, upon request. I am available for pick-up and drop-offs for a small additional fee. I can't wait to meet you special fur ball! I currently work from home most of the week, we walk in the morning and in the evenings. I will follow any guidelines you set out for your dogs needs. I generally keep an eye on my dog at all times or she’s inside. I will follow any guidelines you set out for your dogs needs.

“Our pup Kevin stayed at Lacey’s for our wedding weekend in Joshua Tree— she was super awesome with getting us booked months in advance and the whole situation ended up perfect. Her place is spacious with a nice outdoor option and we felt Kev was well cared for— we appreciated flexible drop off/pick ups and photo updates. Would 100% want Kev to stay here again when we’re back:)”
“Juliann has a nice little boarding facility in her home. Juli took great care of my special needs dog (blind, neurological issues) while she was there. Juliann has the ability to keep her dogs separated from the boarding dogs or to integrate them depending on needs.”
“Elizabeth was very kind and accommodating to our medium sized dog for two nights while we visited Yucca Valley and Joshua Tree National Park. Her property has plenty of outdoor space and is well-fenced in and secure. She was a generous caretaker for our pup, and we will certainly keep her in mind for our future trips to the area. Thank you!”
“I can't thank you enough, Shawna! This was smudge's first boarding experience and it was clear that he felt safe, confident, and happy the whole time. I had a lot going on this trip and not worrying about him made a massive difference. I appreciate how accommodating, attentive, and thorough you are with pick-up and drop-off, care, and updates. Would definitely book again!”
“Larry took great care of our pet. This is my first time using a sitter instead of boarding and she was much happier and received his undivided attention. Lots of photos and great communication.”
“Monica was wonderful!! Our big guy George had a blast playing with her puppies. Monica sent tons of pictures and updates which I really appreciated. She loved George like we would which made going out of town so much easier! She even let him sleep on the bed with her which he doesn’t do at home haha! We will DEFINITELY use Monica again!!”
“Taura did wonderful with our dog! Taura was focused on making sure Honey was comfortable in her new surroundings and sent us lots of updates. We'll definitely use Taura in the future!”
“We absolutely loved Nina!! Her expertise and knowledge around dogs really showed, and made us feel so comfortable and confident leave our dog with her. Highly recommend!!”
“5 outta 5 barks! My little one has since stayed twice with Dana and what a wonderful fit! My girl comes back happy, healthy, tired and most importantly clean. So happy to have found her”
“We have boarded with Felice many times, always for many days in a row. I can’t find enough nice things to say about her and how much she loves our dog. She communicates well and loves our dog like he is her own! I highly recommend Felice!”
“Grey was wonderful with Alfie. From the start she was super friendly and easy to communicate with, and she kept us updated with photos, which really put us at ease. Alfie looked so comfortable and happy with her. She seems like a genuinely kind person who loves animals, and we felt really lucky to have found her. We’d absolutely recommend Grey to anyone looking for someone caring and trustworthy looking after their fur babies : )”
“Dropped my dog off for the week for a Disney trip I was last minute but they were able to accommodate him still they were great with him and made sure he had plenty of time to play and hangout with the other dogs and kids and made sure to send pictures and keep me updated on the trip. I 1000% recommend them for any trips as they truly know how to take care of your pet like it’s there own.”
“Hugh and Mary were absolutely amazing with our girl, Olive! We boarded her with them from Friday through Monday while we were in Big Bear, and they made the entire experience so easy and stress-free. They sent us tons of photos and updates throughout the day of Olive playing with the other dogs, which we loved. You can tell they genuinely care about the pups they watch. They were also incredibly flexible and accommodating - they even told us we could pick Olive up anytime for walks or outings while we were around town, just with a quick 5-minute heads up. One thing that especially stood out was how seriously they take dog safety and temperament. During the initial introduction, they made sure Olive was not aggressive because they are very intentional about maintaining a safe, positive environment for all the dogs there. That immediately made us feel comfortable and at ease leaving her with them. Their home was basically Olive’s dream scenario - a 24/7 dog park with dogs playing, lounging on couches and beds, and getting tons of love and attention. She was truly living her best life. We would absolutely book with Hugh and Mary again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for caring, communicative, and trustworthy sitters!”
About: I can’t imagine living a life without being a dog mom. I’ve had dogs since my childhood and practically my entire adult life. I’ve had heartbreak from losing them because they were so loved. I’m retired and home mostly except for when I travel. I’m available to walk dogs and to play with them in fenced yard. I have a soft spot for all animals. My dog Holly is mostly an inside dog but always has access to fenced backyard through doggie door. The same would apply for any dogs I care for.
“Carl took amazing care of my pup!! He was very professional and had a lovely home. My dog got along well with his pups, and he played with her as if she was one of his own. I fully intend to use Carl again in the future!”
“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.”
“Samantha was so lovely and responsive, with much dog expertise! She made sure Oswald felt right at home and I would highly recommend her for anyone needing to board their dog! Thanks Samantha!”
