“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!!”
“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.”
“Awesome with my older Great Dane! He loves going here. Megan is so sweet to try and comfort him when he gets anxious being away from mom & dad. We’ve used her a few times already and have another trip planned next month. We feel Cooper’s in excellent hands with Megan!”
“Samantha was very responsive, sent pictures and a video of my dog, and was very kind and generous when I was late for dropping off and picking up my dog. The home and backyard was a great environment for my siberian husky and she was great to work with. I would absolutely recommend her help to anyone needing a dog sitter if you're in the area.”
“Excellent experience. Our 3+ yr old Maltese loves these guys. He returns in a calm happy manner. They are very easy to work with as well. Have used 3x’s and remain very pleased.”
“Osamu is an extremely caring, thoughtful, dependable, and responsive sitter. We couldn’t have asked for better care when we left our dog with him and his husband in their lovely home for two weeks. He provided multiple photos daily along with newsy updates. If I could leave a six star review, I would!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“Our 2 year old Basset, Odie, had the time of his life. He and Todd and his 2 Shih Tzu bonded instantly. Video updates showed how much Odie was enjoying his stay. Thank you Todd. Absolutely the best!”
“If you find yourself in need of a dog sitter in Palm Springs, then Vincent (Antonio) is your guy! He was so sweet to our pooch. We could not have found a better person to watch Beau. He even has a nice backyard space for the dogs to roam around. We would definitely use him again if we are in Palm Springs. His house is also very close to downtown which worked perfectly for us.”
“Nueva was a lovely sitter for Johnny. He really enjoyed his stay with her. She updated us throughout the week with texts and pictures, so we could enjoy our vacation knowing that our little dog was having a good time. Would highly recommend, and we will definitely use Nueva again if we travel without our dog.”
“Mike was the perfect host; our dog Libby can sometimes have a little separation anxiety, but she was happy and playing after less than an hour of being there. We received lots of pictures and videos during her stay, and she was always enjoying herself! Cannot recommend him more highly!”
“Viviana and her husband were the kindest and perfect dog watchers. Their home is very cute and you know from meeting them once that your dogs are in good hands. Good communication and ease throughout. 10/10 recommend.”
About: I love small dogs they have the biggest hearts! I’ve had pets since I was kid and have helped others with pet care needs 😀 I recently retired and have lots of extra time and thought what a better way to spend my time! Taking care of small dogs ! I have a fenced yard and plenty of room in the house for your fury baby to roam. I have no other pets at the moment so yours will have my full attention.
“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.”
“I m so glad i found larry and jason - they are so great with my cane corsos who are 14 months and have a lot of playful energy. Jason played with them a lot while they stayed and they came home very happy, well exercised and had a good night sleep - jason is calm and laid back and has a lot of experience with difference dog breeds/ personalities. so he handled my pups really well. Trust is important with dog sitters and i will definitely have them take care of my pups again when i m in the Palm Springs area because i believe my pups were in Good hands. I ll def recommend them to others!!”
“Shelly took great care of Moo from Saturday morning to Sunday morning. She was very attentive and kept me updated by sending photos, which I really appreciated. Moo was happy and well looked after — highly recommended! 🐾”
“Aprils been amazing taking care of my kitty gorgeous she’s worked and working with me during a very rough time in my life and has been super friendly the entire time even letting me come by to visit her if I wished”
“We greatly appreciated the fact that Jon was one of the only dog sitters who was willing to take our guy over the holidays. We did a "meet and greet" about six or seven weeks prior to our trip which gave us the assurance we needed that Jon was someone we could trust with our most prized possession. It was also nice to know that our dog would have the company of Jon's two wonderful greyhounds as well as a large yard to play in. It is safe to say that this was the best choice we could have made for our dog's care during our vacation. Bob R.”

“I appreciate James' daily visits to care for my cats and ensure they are well-fed and their litter box is clean. It's such a relief to have someone I can trust to look after my pets when I'm unable to, and James was a great help.”
“Katherine was great. She filled a last minute need for us over the holiday weekend. She asked a lot of questions - which was great - to make sure we were on the same page. I would definitely hire her again.”
“Rich is amazing! This is second time he helped with our two Burmeses cats. Rich feed them medications and food twice a day on time. Rich was attentive, easy going and responsive. We definitely ask him to help out again.”

“Briana was amazing with our 3 kitties! She was very quick in communicating with us. Her reports were always very detailed and the pictures were just what we needed. She went above and beyond with feeding and playing with everyone. You can tell she really cares about your animals.. We would rebook her in a heartbeat!”
“Ashurina helped me out of a jam, was needing to head out of town last min. She came by the same day I called her to meet with myself and my 2 girls (fur baby cats). She checked in and updated me, sent pictures and had my 2 cats engaged during her drop in. Thank you so much.”
“Basia was a great pet sitter and I really appreciated her trekking out so far into the desert to keep my kitties fed and watered! She was always on time and kept me apprised of how my babies were doing”
“Tony was prompt, communicative and took great care of Pickles. It’s clear he cared for her like she was her own, playing with her, snuggling and taking her on two walks to make sure she was taken care of after dinner.”

“Elaine was so wonderful with Malcolm! She would give us updates on how he was settling in, and then regular updates on how he was doing while we were away. The pictures she sent throughout Malcolm’s stay really gave us great peace of mind that he was comfortable, happy, and well-cared for. Would definitely recommend Elaine, and definitely would entrust her with Malcolm’s care in the future!”
“Cesar is amazing!! He took care of my three cats while we were out of town for our wedding, over the past 9 days our kitties were in great care with Cesar’s drop in visits! He went above and beyond our expectations. Truly kept the litter boxes clean and swept around them! He changed their food and water and made sure they were safe! Cesar is trust worthy and respectful! He kept us updated throughout the whole process, sending us lots of loving photos and even keeping us updated on the weather! He is soo kind and truly loves animals, we have gold fish here too, even thou we were feeding them pebbles with the automatic feeder he noticed the fish and added some bounce flacks when he visited (out of the kindness of his heart). SO NICE! If you are looking for someone to care for your pets, I HIGHLY recommend Cesar he is very knowledgeable and caring, he followed every step I gave him and went beyond that. He even offered to have a free meet and great so the animals could get to know him! SO THOUGHTFUL. unfortunately my tight schedule wouldn’t allow it but, it’s the thought he puts in that counts! Thank you so much Cesar you are a true blessing to us and our animals! Until next time! 💕”

“Just the kindest and supportive dog caregiver. My dogs loved her care and were happily jumping up to get into her car. Louise picked them up and dropped them off. I was so grateful for her service as I had to attend a board weekend retreat. Book her and your dogs will be grateful and well taken care of by Louise.”
“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.”
“We are happy to find Geraldine. She has a dog friendly home with secure outdoor space. Bliss was worn out by lots of running and playing with little Reese. We will be back!”
“Tony took excellent care of our dog! He played with him and was very attentive. He communicated with us throughout our dog’s stay to let us know how he was doing. We highly recommend Tony!”
“My dogs Finn (6mo) and Charley (2.5yo) had an extra-special day with Mike and his friendly dog pack. We needed a lot of flexibility to recover from a long few days of packing and travel, and Mike really went above and beyond to help. He made sure the dogs felt at ease and went out of his way to show me the safe, clean and cozy places they would spend the day. I would definitely recommend 100% and am happy to have Mike available as a resource when I need a helping hand. ???”
About: I grew up in a home that adopted cats & dogs and was the prime caregiver since animal's lives and happiness are close my heart. I believe in SPOILING them, not giving them all of the treats, but in giving them tons of attention and activity. Zonking them out at night so they have the best night's sleep. I love all dogs, tiny to giants and long-haired too. I laugh at zoomies. My animal voice disarms them quickly so even the most nervous cats or dogs warm up to me in time. I respect boundaries and listen/watch body language so that neither of us are uncomfortable. I love to go on walks with them, letting them smell every flower along the way. I love playing tug of war or chasing each other or throwing a ball for hours. They are such special little beings and deserve the best care. With me, they would be loved on, scratched, belly rubbed, or brushed to their delight! I work from home and set my schedule. So, I would be available to watch your furbabies during the times that you need, overnights, or just daily drop-bys. All I need is wifi and if it's the summer, AC. I am happy to bring any cat-friendly dogs into my home. Both of my cats LOVE dogs. But your furbabies would have to have up-to-date vaccinations to do so. I'm happy to have them here. If they like walks, I go on one daily for about an hour. If I need to, I can split that walk in two, no worries. Spending time with them at a dog park. Throwing the ball or playing outside with their favorite toy is also something that I would enjoy doing. I am happy to find what each furbaby needs and to meet it. I love getting to know animals and their specific qualities/likes/dislikes and meeting their needs and having fun. The whole idea to me is that if their humans are out of town. having fun, they should have an equal amount of fun too!
“Luz was the most wonderful, sweet and perfect sitter for our Lily. We really lucked out as she took us last minute. Lily enjoyed her stay and we got to see cute pictures of her exploring Luz’s beautiful garden. Thank you Luz without your wonderful care, we wouldn’t have been able to hike Joshua Tree 💗 highly recommend!! 100/10 😊”
“Jon was incredibly accommodating on a short notice request by us. We came to vacation in Palm Springs and were unaware we could not leave our dog in the hotel room unattended. I immediately messaged Jon and he quickly responded. He was flexible on drop off and pick up as well. I’m so thankful for him! He made our trip less stressful by taking care of our Togo for two days. Highly highly recommend!”

“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: I did start taking care of pets when I was in junior high! I grew up with beagles; I think I’m a fourth generation beagle owner, and my dog Lear is truly a wonderful host . He adores everybody, and they all seem to love him, too. My backyard is essentially for the pups , several lounging areas for the perfect noon time sunbath. We also love the dog park. I’m a senior who spends majority of my time at home with my pups. Lots of attention and interaction , and backyard breaks . Pup heaven! I have a lovely fenced in backyard, and my own pups love sunning themselves all times of the day.

Additionally, I cat-sat three cats in Costa Rica, ensuring they were well-fed, comfortable, and received plenty of attention. These experiences have helped me develop a strong sense of responsibility and a calm, caring approach to pet care. I have open availability for pet sitting and related responsibilities, with the exception of one college class. My schedule is flexible, and I'm able to accommodate most timeframes, including mornings, evenings, and weekends. I prioritize each pet’s safety and well-being at all times. I follow all instructions closely, keep a close eye on pets during walks, and make sure doors, gates, and any hazardous areas are properly secured. My goal is to provide a calm, safe, and attentive experience for every pet in my care.
“Chris is terrific! We are in Palm Springs for the film festival and were able to squeeze in another movie last minute and Chris is our hero or we should say Rosies hero. He came last minute and took her for a walk.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs for years. As a matter of fact that was my first job, a cat sitter. I currently have 2 rescue pups. One senior and one almost 2yr old. My soul dog crossed the rainbow bridge last year and since I’ve fostered puppies and cared for multiple dogs. I’ve trained my pups every time and would love to care for yours while you’re away. I don’t mind sending pics and communicating throughout to keep you comfortable that your pet is happy and taken care of. Right now I am taking time away from work and would love to make some extra money while watching your lovely fur babies and give you some peace of mind during your time away from home. I will gladly keep your pets company, play with them, feed them and make sure they don’t feel lonely while you’re away. Walks, belly rubs, or just company while they’re missing you so they know they are still taken care of. Will send you pictures or texts to give you peace of mind and if you’d like will give them a bath so they smell amazing once you get home (unless that’s not your preference).

“Kevin did another terrific job walking Hugo when I had to go out of town at the last minute. It’s always reassuring to know he’s always in good hands when I need to travel.”
“This was our first time using Rover, and therefore our first time having Jon walk our dog. We asked Jon to come by each day at 7, as it gets pretty hot here in the desert quite early in the morning. Sammi is used to hour long walks as well. We can say Jon did not disappoint! He was at our house every morning at 7 on the nose and gave our Sammi a full hour walk each day. They walked a mile plus on each journey and Sammi looked forward to seeing him every day. Could not have asked for a better experience!”

I work at home so have plenty of time and attention to play with your fur babies, I am available for boarding seven days a week. I have a high brick walled yard. My environment is very safe and secure and over 15 years have never had a pet escape. I can always crate your dog if needed.
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. When I do work, I work from my home office so I'm always around. Also, if you are looking for an extended stays, please reach out to me for discount on mid-long term stays. 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.
“Gabe is amazing!! We have a Great Dane and she absolutely adores him! He comes every day, twice a day and he is always on time, so kind and friendly and the dog lets out a howl of joy every time he approaches the door. I’m so grateful that we connected and can’t imagine daily life without his care for our pup! Highly highly highly recommend his services !”
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.
About: I was working at an animal hospital and have a degree in veterinary science so I have plenty of experience with animals. I now work from home and have a house with a doggy door and two side yards that are all accessible and fully enclosed with a brick wall. I do have an older dog who is friendly with others and keeps to herself. I am fully capable of administering any medications and/or injecting insulin as needed. I am very attentive and passionate with the animals and have professional references to attest to that. I now work full time from home so I have ample time to keep your four legged friends company while I’m working. There won’t be a dull moment! My yard is completely fenced and accessible with a doggy door to ensure the pets have plenty of space to run and use the bathroom when needed. I do have a pool.

“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.”
“Awesome with my older Great Dane! He loves going here. Megan is so sweet to try and comfort him when he gets anxious being away from mom & dad. We’ve used her a few times already and have another trip planned next month. We feel Cooper’s in excellent hands with Megan!”
“Samantha was very responsive, sent pictures and a video of my dog, and was very kind and generous when I was late for dropping off and picking up my dog. The home and backyard was a great environment for my siberian husky and she was great to work with. I would absolutely recommend her help to anyone needing a dog sitter if you're in the area.”
“Excellent experience. Our 3+ yr old Maltese loves these guys. He returns in a calm happy manner. They are very easy to work with as well. Have used 3x’s and remain very pleased.”
“Our 2 year old Basset, Odie, had the time of his life. He and Todd and his 2 Shih Tzu bonded instantly. Video updates showed how much Odie was enjoying his stay. Thank you Todd. Absolutely the best!”
“If you find yourself in need of a dog sitter in Palm Springs, then Vincent (Antonio) is your guy! He was so sweet to our pooch. We could not have found a better person to watch Beau. He even has a nice backyard space for the dogs to roam around. We would definitely use him again if we are in Palm Springs. His house is also very close to downtown which worked perfectly for us.”
“Mike was the perfect host; our dog Libby can sometimes have a little separation anxiety, but she was happy and playing after less than an hour of being there. We received lots of pictures and videos during her stay, and she was always enjoying herself! Cannot recommend him more highly!”
“Viviana and her husband were the kindest and perfect dog watchers. Their home is very cute and you know from meeting them once that your dogs are in good hands. Good communication and ease throughout. 10/10 recommend.”
“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.”
“I m so glad i found larry and jason - they are so great with my cane corsos who are 14 months and have a lot of playful energy. Jason played with them a lot while they stayed and they came home very happy, well exercised and had a good night sleep - jason is calm and laid back and has a lot of experience with difference dog breeds/ personalities. so he handled my pups really well. Trust is important with dog sitters and i will definitely have them take care of my pups again when i m in the Palm Springs area because i believe my pups were in Good hands. I ll def recommend them to others!!”
“We greatly appreciated the fact that Jon was one of the only dog sitters who was willing to take our guy over the holidays. We did a "meet and greet" about six or seven weeks prior to our trip which gave us the assurance we needed that Jon was someone we could trust with our most prized possession. It was also nice to know that our dog would have the company of Jon's two wonderful greyhounds as well as a large yard to play in. It is safe to say that this was the best choice we could have made for our dog's care during our vacation. Bob R.”
“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.”
“Lacey was amazing. She went all out for my dog. She sent updates and pictures. My dog enjoyed every minute. You couldn't get a better pet sitter. I would highly recommend her. I will definitely have her pet sit my dog again.”
“I’ve been looking for a good pet sitter that we can trust to take care of our two dogs and I’m so thankful that I’ve found Dennis. He is nice, flexible and has excellent communication. He is very attentive and loving to our two pups. I highly recommend him to anyone living or vacationing in the desert.looking for a reliable and trustworthy person to walk or care of their fur babies,”

“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!”
“Cloud had a wonderful time!! Anna and Tyler were so sweet and communicative. I felt very good vibes from the start and im so happy I chose them to care for Cloud.
