“Thank you so much Edgar & Denise for watching my Leo.It was Leo’s first time me leaving him behind Edgar and Denise made sure he felt home and treated him as family.They went above and beyond always keeping me updated with pictures and I loved it! I definitely recommend them to watch over your pets they do an amazing job . I will be coming back !! 💯”
“Judith was absolutely wonderful with our Golden Retriever girl, Sage! She was very communicative throughout the entire stay, providing us with regular updates that kept our minds completely at ease. It is clear that she is incredibly caring and attentive, treating Sage like one of her own. We couldn't have asked for a better sitter and highly recommend Judith to anyone looking for top-notch care!”
“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!!”
“Anna & Tyler are super friendly & caring with the dogs and sent daily photos of them outside playing plus a few of them indoors snuggling. Stay & play is much more fun in the cooler weather of the mountains, we will definitely be repeat customers!”
“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.”
“Most excellent. Cubsy enjoyed his stay with Matt and Steve. Cubsy is a very social boy and loved having 2 or 3 other dogs to play with while we were gone. He came home tired. A very good sign. Matt provided updates. I also like that they put a tracker on Cubsy during his stay in the unlikely event he got loose. Both Matt and Steve are at home most days so no lack of companionship or supervision.”
“Jackson was very accommodating with drop off and pick up Times during the holiday season. He is very responsive to communication through the app. Chewy came back super happy. We will definitely use Jackson again.”
“I had complete confidence in Trevor’s ability to care for my dog, Arthur! He sent me a note and a picture of my little man every day. It was extremely comforting to know he was in safe hands! Thank you, Trevor!”
“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 ❤️”
“Shelly was wonderful and our Sadie couldn’t have been more relaxed and comfortable. Did a great job of keeping us updated with messaging and photos to keep our minds at ease as we were away from our girl. Look forward to seeing her again. ?????”
“Edith was fantastic!! We left our 16 year old dog with her for a week and were super nervous because we were hundreds of miles away, but Edith gave us so much peace of mind and constantly sent us updates with pictures and videos! Our little dog looked so content and spoiled! I would highly recommend trusting your pets with Edith! Thank you so much!”
“Osamu and his partner Darrell took THE best care of our pet. From the beginning to end, his communication on the app made us comfortable. We knew he was in good hands with them. We got to see pictures throughout the 3 night stay and got updates consistently. This meant a great deal to us since our pet has some anxiety traits and has never been boarded with anyone outside family since we adopted him from a local shelter. Osamu and Darrell paid attention to everything our dog needed during his stay beyond just feeding and walking. They really catered to his special needs, making sure sure he did not have any negative encounters with other animals...even while our dog hung out at their shop they run in downtown Palm Springs. Next time we're in Palm Springs, we'll be booking a stay for our dog with Osamu!”
About: I’ve cared for dogs most of my life, especially small breeds. I know how hard it can be to leave your best friend behind when you travel, so I make it a priority to provide a safe, calm, loving place where they’ll get plenty of attention and care. I also know how reassuring good communication can be, so I’m happy to send regular updates and photos while you’re away. Friends and family have trusted me for years with feeding, walks, playtime, and overnight stays, and I’m especially comfortable with seniors and dogs who prefer a quieter environment. My schedule is flexible, so either my partner or I will always be home to give your dog plenty of attention throughout the day. I only host one household at a time, whether that’s one small dog or a pair from the same home. Your dog will have a comfortable home, a secure fenced yard to play in, and plenty of time to relax and hang out with us.
“We can't say enough good things about Louise! She took Raymond into her home and right from the first meeting, we knew he was going to be in the best care. He can be a bit pushy with other dogs but she let him play with her Lacey and they both had such a good time. Louise sent daily updates and photos and we didn't worry about him at all knowing he was in a great place. We highly recommend Louise if you're looking for the best in pet care!”
“Alan and Joe were fantastic, and my dogs loved being there. I was nervous, as they’ve never stayed away from home, but Joe and Alan made them feel right home and calmed my nerves. We may have found our go-to sitters.”
“We boarded our dog with Mary Kay for 6 days while we traveled out of state. Our dog seemed really happy while she was there, and was very calm when we brought her home. Mary Kay provided a peaceful environment along with lots of walks. I highly recommend her and will definitely use her again for our upcoming travel.”
“Absolutely the best. I have a difficult dog, and Candace was extremely confident and loving with her. I have full peace of mind when she's watching my dog. Thank you Candace!”
“I was over-the-top nervous about leaving my 13-year old pup with someone she didn't know while in town for a wedding, but from out first contact (me asking many questions; Stephen and Mike answering them all and allaying all of my fears) to when I picked her up (and learned that Trixie had been cuddling on the couch with Mike watching a movie, our first experience with a non-family dog sitter was blessedly uneventful. They understand and love dogs, and I can't recommend them highly enough (unless I just did).”
“We honestly couldn’t be happier with our experience! She is, without a doubt, the best pet sitter we’ve ever had. From the very beginning, she has been so caring, attentive, and thoughtful with our babies. It gives us such peace of mind knowing they are in such good hands while we’re away. She keeps us updated, follows their routine, and you can truly tell how much she cares about them. Seeing how comfortable and happy Lucas and Maui are with her means everything to us. We are so grateful for all the love and care she gives them. We couldn’t ask for a better pet sitter and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone they can truly trust with their pets. Thank you so much for taking such amazing care of our babies.”

“Jules was amazing with my kitties! She went above and beyond! We were out of town for a week and she checked in on our 2 cats, fed them, cleaned litter and most importantly spent time with them. She even brought over her own toys and sent us pictures! Highly recommend Jules to take care of your pets. You can tell she genuinely cares for them and she is a really great person!”
About: There have been so many cats in my care over the last 35 years. Recently, have specialized in felines needing specialty and medical attention. Cats are captivating and a joy to bond with.
About: I’ve been around cats since I was a teenager. I have a great deal of experience caring for cats, including rescues, since both my cats and my parents all came from shelters. I also have experience caring for an entire litter of kittens.
“Johana was wonderful! She kept me updated throughout my time away. Even got my 6 month old cat to come out and play. I'm extremely happy with her service and will absolutely try to book her again whenever i must be away from my fur baby.”
About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I have over 2 years of hands-on pet-sitting experience caring for dogs, cats, and reptiles. I am comfortable with pets of all sizes, including large breeds, puppies, and senior animals that may require extra patience or special care. My experience includes overnight stays of up to two weeks, daily walks, feeding, bathing, grooming, administering medication, and providing plenty of love and attention. Pet owners often describe me as patient, trustworthy, communicative, and attentive to their pets’ needs. With my own reliable transportation and a genuine passion for animal care, I strive to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their family is away. I have cared for approximately 10 pets and treat every animal as if they were my own. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine. I work Monday through Thursday from 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM, but I am fully available on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays for pet sitting, walks, drop-in visits, and overnight care. I am committed to giving pets the attention, exercise, and companionship they need while their owners are away. I have reliable transportation and always make sure pets are cared for safely, consistently, and with plenty of love. While I am unable to offer boarding in my own home, I take great pride in caring for pets in their familiar environment. When staying in a client’s home, I treat both the home and pets with the same respect and care I would want for my own. I always follow household rules, feeding schedules, walking routines, and any training or discipline methods already in place so your pet experiences consistency while you’re away. I am clean, responsible, and non-disruptive, and I make it a priority to leave your home just as I found it. I am happy to clean up after myself, wash dishes, take out the trash, bring in mail, and help keep things tidy during my stay. My goal is to provide a safe, stress-free experience for both pets and owners, giving you peace of mind knowing your pets are loved and your home is being cared for responsibly.
About: I have over 5 years of direct pet care experience, starting with petsitting for friends and families in the community. I’ve gained most of my sitting experience with chickens, cats, and dogs, but am happy to venture out. Through my work at a dog daycare and boarding facility, I became skilled at overseeing dog activity, safety, and cleanliness in a busy setting. I moved on to a position working with dogs one-on-one in a small grooming salon where I handled dogs of all sizes and temperaments. I am able to comfortably handle, care for, walk, and bathe dogs of varying sizes, breeds, and behavior. I am open to taking on a challenge, and am not afraid to clean messes. I look forward to meeting you and your pets and finding ways to ensure you’re comfortable throughout the entire process. Although I work throughout the day, I have plenty of time in my schedule to put toward spending time with your pet. I’m active in the mornings and evenings, and can give my undivided attention as soon as I arrive to your home. My weekends are open for overnight stays or flexible drop-in visits, and I am always open to discussing options for pet care throughout the week. My goal is to meet the needs of you and your pets, and I am more than happy to make accommodations. I am happy to work with you to find what will make your pet most comfortable. Whether it’s keeping them crated, or finding ways to keep them stimulated when alone, I look forward to finding what works best for your pet. We can discuss feeding schedules, exercise and activity preferences, stress-relief, and other concerns you may have as we plan for your time away.
“Karaleah offered a meet and greet which made me feel that much more comfortable. We've been doing some short stays before my two weeks long trip this summer and I'm confident we'll do great. She has been patient with my scaredy cat who takes sometime to warm up to strangers. Karaleah is reliable and listens to requests and suggestions on how to tend to my cat needs.”
“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! 💕”
“I asked her to drop in every other day for my cat and frog when I was out of town. She was fantastic, very communicative, and great about taking care of some other things I'd also asked her to do, like watering my plants. 5/5, would totally request again next time I'm out of town!”

“Wow, such a great day for our dog Murphy. Anna (& Tyler) and their two dogs, Gus and Murphy were so welcoming!! Our Murphy had a fabulous day and it was a relief to know he was being well taken care of. Anna sent us pictures throughout the day of Murphy, Murphy and Gus' adventures. They had a large backyard and lots of places for our Murphy to relax inside. He had a fabulous time and we didn't worry about him at all! Anna was fabulous to deal with (we didn't get to meet Tyler). We will definitely use them again if we are staying in Idyllwild and need a pet sitter. Thank you!”
“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.”
About: For as long as I can remember we had dogs and cats in our household. I've had my own German Shepherd and pitbull now for quite some time, and I can say that truly are apart of the family As of now I have plenty of time to dedicate to this duty. I am full time student but currently in between semesters, and my reserve military requirements only takes up a bit of my schedule. Maintain a proper safe fence structure. Also a steel framed kennel that is 8x24 feet so my two dogs have plenty of space to roam about. I also allow my dogs inside at night time for a nice slumber.
“Mark looked after our dog, Penny, twice a week for daycare over several weeks and also cared for her overnight. As a new rescue, Penny can be quite anxious, particularly when getting used to new people and environments, but Mark has such a calm, gentle manner that she quickly felt comfortable with him. Before long, Penny absolutely loved going to his house. She would wag her tail and run straight to his door. We genuinely feel that Mark played a significant role in helping her gain confidence and continue progressing and feeling secure. Mark was always reliable, caring, and professional, and we knew Penny was in safe hands with him. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate dog sitter.”
“Katie took great care of our Golden Retriever Marvin She came highly recommended from friends that have used her several times. What a blessing to have found her. Our boy was completely worn out from doggy play yesterday. I thank you again Katie. Our minds were completely and ease knowing you were taking care of our special boy.”
“Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Todd was so understanding and accommodating when we were late due to bad weather and traffic. Sent pictures and dogs, and dogs came home happy and tired. Very communicative and kind.”
“Kevin was so great with our Frankie! He watched him for two days while we were in Palm Springs and he had a great time. Kevin was also super communicative before and during the stay which we appreciated. Frankie looks forward to coming back to see Kevin again”
“This was my first time to ever leave my pup in a daycare. I hesitated to do so but Dennis made me feel comfortable in trying it out. He’s great! I was updated about my pup all the time.”

“My pup has been so happy everytime she comes back from doggy day care with Ary!! Ary has been a dream and is always really communicative with me. Thank you for taking such great care of Lucia”
“Edgar and his wife took great care of our dog! They were very kind and considerate and sent a photo or two to show us how he was doing. When we picked him up he was calm and content!”
“Megan was a lifesaver for our weekend getaway! We were staying at a pet friendly resort but wanted a day where we didn’t have to worry about leaving Dot alone for too long, or bringing her out with us during the hottest time of the year. Even though it was just a single daycare session, Megan provided regular updates and kept our girl happy with plenty of playtime, potty and water breaks. Dot made friends with Megan’s dogs and another Rover stay, she came back to us happy and tired. Would definitely choose Megan again for future trips to the desert!”
“Bobby always has a blast with Matt and his pack. There are usually a couple dog pals for him to play with and he’s always beaming after his visits. Matt takes good care of our furry babies and is flexible when it comes to scheduling. Would definitely recommend!”

“Jon continues his great care of my Frenchie, Bruno. Sometimes challenging as Bruno is protective of me and exhibits separation anxiety. Jon has definitely cracked the code. I highly recommend Jon’s service and dedication. He is a dog whisperer.”
About: Hi and welcome to Idyllwild! Our names are Anna and Tyler and we are full time residents of this beautiful mountain town. 🏔️ We both have grown up with dogs and have two super friendly dogs named Gus and Murphy who spend their days running around in our fully fenced in back yard and going on walks about the scenic neighborhood. We love having furry friends over and giving them their own little mountain adventure! Guaranteed play time outside for most of the day and lots of cuddles and belly rubs. We’re a great resource for when you want to go on hikes in the area as most of the trails are not dog friendly! We both work from home full time so your dog will get lots of love and attention! For our furry friends doing drop in visits and walks, we can accommodate any schedule and frequency, as our work days are very flexible! You can expect your dog(s) to have plenty of fun, supervised, run around time in the backyard. Lots of different space for play or naps 🎉
About: Hello 👋🏻 My name is Kaylee and I’ve been a professional pet sitter for about 5 years now. Over the course of those 5 years I’ve cared for all of the following animals: dogs, cats, birds, fish, snakes, turtles, lizards, hamsters, rabbits and horses. I’m in college getting an animal science degree and I’ve worked with a wide age range of animals. From puppies all the way to senior dogs and kittens all the way to elderly cats. *please know that while my listed prices are accurate additional surcharges may apply. (All prices will be disclosed before booking) I have a lot of availability for pet care in my schedule, I do have college classes I must attend and the occasional appointment with these being non-negotiable blocks of time I must leave the clients home to attend (which will be discussed ahead of time). However aside from that I have a plethora of time available to dedicate solely to your pet(s). *jobs that are “constant care” and/or have strict rules regarding how long the pet(s) can be left alone WILL incur a surge charge. I haven’t had a pet escape or get lost on my watch yet, and I don’t plan to start now. My childhood dog escaped once as kid, and even thought he was quickly found, it made me realize the horror of potentially losing a pet. As a result, I take pet safety very seriously. I will not walk a dog without a leash. I always double and triple check that doors are closed/locked (when appropriate).

About: My wife and I have always had various pets in our homes from dogs to reptiles. My wife Amanda has over 5 years experience in the pet care industry from grooming to administering oral medications. I am a disabled Veteran and a stay at home dad so I have plenty of time to check-in, visit or care for your fur babies. My wife has a flexible schedule and spends her free time at home caring for all our animals. When caring for pets—whether in my own home or a client’s home—I prioritize safety, trust, and a comfortable environment above all else. I ensure each pet is in a secure space free from hazards and always follow their specific routines for feeding, exercise, and medication. Building trust is essential, so I take time to connect with each animal, learning their personality and comfort level to help them feel relaxed and happy.

She clearly loves dogs, both hers and others, and is a pleasure to meet and work with. We will certainly use her again when an all-day adventure comes calling next. Thanks Julie!!!”
About: Choosing a pet sitter is an act of trust, and I take that responsibility seriously. For years, I've been trusted to care for beloved pets and the homes they live in, and I would be honored to earn your trust as well. My goal is simple: to give you complete peace of mind, knowing your pet is safe, happy, and receiving the same thoughtful, attentive care you provide at home. I have decades of hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and personalities. Throughout my life, I've had the privilege of caring for my own pets as well as those of family and friends, including senior animals with special needs. I'm equally comfortable with small dogs, large breeds, energetic pets, and those who simply need a slower, gentler pace. Every pet is unique. I take the time to learn their routine, personality, and communication style so they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. I'm experienced with senior pets, shy or anxious animals, and multi-pet households. I'm also comfortable administering oral medications and injections when needed, while paying close attention to any changes in behavior or health. Whether I'm caring for your pet in your home or mine (when appropriate), you can expect dependable communication, regular photo updates, and patient, compassionate care. I'll treat your home with respect and your pet like a member of my own family. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! I have a highly flexible schedule and am available to provide attentive, reliable care for your pets. I can accommodate drop-in visits, walks, overnight stays, and in-home care (when appropriate). I enjoy having the flexibility to give pets the time, attention, and companionship they deserve. Please reach out so we can discuss your pet’s needs and create the best care plan for your schedule. I believe the best care starts with understanding each pet’s individual needs, routine, and personality. Whether I’m caring for your pet in your home or providing care in my own home (when appropriate), their safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities. In your home, I will maintain your pet’s normal routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medication needs, and the familiar environment they know and trust. I’ll provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is happy and well cared for while you’re away. For pets staying in my home, I provide a safe, calm, and comfortable environment. I have a completely fenced and secure yard, and pets are welcome to relax indoors in a climate-controlled home environment at all times. Living in a warm climate, I am very mindful of heat safety and make sure pets are comfortable and never exposed to excessive temperatures. I also enjoy providing enrichment and exercise appropriate for each pet’s personality and energy level. When it’s a good fit, I’m happy to include friendly, social dogs in outings such as walks or trips to the dog park with my own dog, who is fully vaccinated, neutered, and enjoys the company of other dogs. Every pet is different, and my goal is always to provide dependable, loving care that feels as close to home as possible.
About: What makes me different from other sitters is that I’ve always had dogs and I truly love being around them. I treat every dog like they’re my own and do everything I can to make them feel safe, loved, and happy. Over the years, many friends and neighbors have trusted me to watch their dogs because they know I’m caring and responsible. I’ve helped with both puppies and older dogs, and I always give them the attention they need. Pet care is a big part of my daily routine. Everyday i make time to walk my dogs in the morning and at night at the park. I enjoy spending time with animals, so I always make time to feed them, play with them, take them on walks, and make sure they’re happy and comfortable. Whether it’s just part of my day or something I plan for during the week, I always make sure the pets I care for are a top priority When I care for pets in my home or a client’s home, I always make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable. I follow any instructions given, like feeding schedules, walks, or any special needs. I spend time playing with them, giving them attention, and making sure they’re not feeling lonely or stressed. I will always try my best to keep their routine as close to normal as possible.

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.

About: Ever since I can remember, myself as well as my family have loved and enjoyed dogs and they have always been a part of our family. I got my first puppy when I was 12 years old. She was a rescue and I had her until I was 26 years old. Her name was Molly. We had many other dogs during that time. My sister's and I were who cared for them all. Although this is my first time running a business caring for dogs, I have taken care of dogs most of my life. Some people call themselves a "people person". I call myself a "dog person". I have always had a natural ability to connect with dogs. Dogs have always loved being with me. I care for them as if they were a child of mine. As I always have said, the more I get to know people; the more I love dogs! I'm currently a student at home so, I am available to give your pet my undivided attention. I treat all animals as if they are my own, like family. I love to spend quality time with animals. I also have good hygiene. I believe this is important because we all know how dirty animals can be. I am gentle and loving.

I definitely recommend them to watch over your pets they do an amazing job . I will be coming back !! 💯”
“Judith was absolutely wonderful with our Golden Retriever girl, Sage! She was very communicative throughout the entire stay, providing us with regular updates that kept our minds completely at ease. It is clear that she is incredibly caring and attentive, treating Sage like one of her own. We couldn't have asked for a better sitter and highly recommend Judith to anyone looking for top-notch care!”
“Anna & Tyler are super friendly & caring with the dogs and sent daily photos of them outside playing plus a few of them indoors snuggling. Stay & play is much more fun in the cooler weather of the mountains, we will definitely be repeat customers!”
“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.”
“Jackson was very accommodating with drop off and pick up Times during the holiday season. He is very responsive to communication through the app. Chewy came back super happy. We will definitely use Jackson again.”
“I had complete confidence in Trevor’s ability to care for my dog, Arthur! He sent me a note and a picture of my little man every day. It was extremely comforting to know he was in safe hands! Thank you, Trevor!”
“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 ❤️”
“We can't say enough good things about Louise! She took Raymond into her home and right from the first meeting, we knew he was going to be in the best care. He can be a bit pushy with other dogs but she let him play with her Lacey and they both had such a good time. Louise sent daily updates and photos and we didn't worry about him at all knowing he was in a great place. We highly recommend Louise if you're looking for the best in pet care!”
“Alan and Joe were fantastic, and my dogs loved being there. I was nervous, as they’ve never stayed away from home, but Joe and Alan made them feel right home and calmed my nerves. We may have found our go-to sitters.”
“We boarded our dog with Mary Kay for 6 days while we traveled out of state. Our dog seemed really happy while she was there, and was very calm when we brought her home. Mary Kay provided a peaceful environment along with lots of walks. I highly recommend her and will definitely use her again for our upcoming travel.”
“Absolutely the best. I have a difficult dog, and Candace was extremely confident and loving with her. I have full peace of mind when she's watching my dog. Thank you Candace!”
“I was over-the-top nervous about leaving my 13-year old pup with someone she didn't know while in town for a wedding, but from out first contact (me asking many questions; Stephen and Mike answering them all and allaying all of my fears) to when I picked her up (and learned that Trixie had been cuddling on the couch with Mike watching a movie, our first experience with a non-family dog sitter was blessedly uneventful. They understand and love dogs, and I can't recommend them highly enough (unless I just did).”
“I could not have asked for a better sitter than Emma for my little guy. He can be sassy and from the moment he met Emma he was so stoked to hang out with her. She sent me pictures and updates throughout my whole trip and it was clear she was his new best friend! He was definitely a bit bummed out that I was picking him up from his week of fun with her. I will absolutely be asking Emma to watch him again any time I’m in the area and would recommend her 10/10!”
About: Dogs have always found their way to me. I've been around them most of my life, and there's something about calm, consistent energy that they seem to respond to. A friend would tell you I'm the person dogs gravitate toward at a party, and I'd say that's probably the most honest qualification I can offer. My most meaningful experience came with my own rescue, a shepherd mix I adopted at 7 months, trained from scratch, and cared for through 15 years of life, including her final year as a senior dog with mobility needs. I became practiced at daily medication administration, wound care, and the kind of patient, attentive routine that older dogs need. Senior dogs are a specialty I genuinely enjoy and take seriously. I work from home full-time, which means your dog won't spend the day alone. I'm here, present, and engaged — great for dogs with separation anxiety or those who simply do better with a steady human nearby. I take one dog (or one bonded pair) at a time, so your pet gets real individual attention. My home in Palm Springs is clean, quiet, and comfortable with direct access to a large greenway for on-leash walks right from my back patio. I know the desert schedule well, so in warmer months walks happen early morning or evening when it's safe and comfortable. I have a car and am happy to help with pickup or dropoff when needed. I'm comfortable with oral medications, mobility assistance, and dogs with special routines. My home is single-level — no stairs. I prefer dogs to sleep on their own bed or the floor (I'll have a comfortable spot ready), and I take one guest at a time to keep things calm and personal. Meet-and-greets are always welcome before a booking.
“Brandon was wonderful with my dog during an overnight stay. He provided great communication and regular updates, which gave me peace of mind. It’s clear he’s both knowledgeable and kind—my dog was in excellent hands.”
“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! 🐶💖”
“Luz sent me pictures of my senior dog sleeping, walking on a brick path, smelling grass, and roaming in a wooded area. I could tell that Cici was happy and that she was in good hands boarding at Luz's property! I appreciated that I didn't have to worry about her.”
“Colton was the perfect sitter. There was never a delay in communication, he sent videos and photos, and made sure my girl was very well taken care of. I would totally book with Colton again and recommend him 10/10.”
“Dennis and Tom are a dream to work with for dog boarding. They took such wonderful care of our pup while away and she came back happy and energetic. They communicate well through the whole process from meet-up, drop-off, pick-up and everything in between. They are fun, too, and exuude positivity - clearly dog lovers. I am very grateful for them and you will be too.”
