“I cannot say enough good things about Alice. Truly. She went so far above and beyond with my dog. She sent me photos and videos every day and my dog. Ocho was so happy with her. I’m not sure he really wanted to come home to be honest. That said, she bathed him the day I picked him up, He came home a better dog than when I dropped him off. Don’t get me wrong, he was a fine dog at drop off. But being with Alice and her dogs helped him to grow up, and she even trained him with a few new commands. She has natural mesquite sticks for the dogs to chew on, got them extra toys, you name it she is a dream. If you want to not only not worry about your dog, but know that your dog is having a joyous and loving wonderful experience, Alice should be your choice. I drove away with my dog, wanting to travel more so that he could spend more time there. I don’t think there’s any higher praise than that.”
“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.”
“Very happy with Alexandra, nothing was too much trouble, we picked up Roxy and it was clear she had had a good time. Everything was perfect, Roxy did not want to leave when we collected her!”
“Mesa LOVED her stay with Ann and Buddy. They went on a walks and to the dog park, and they played in the yard. Ann has a great space—indoor and out—for dogs, and she was super communicative, making the whole process easy. Will book again! Thanks, Ann!”
“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.”
“Felice! Thank you so so much for taking care of our babies. We recommend Felice to anyone with anxious doggies. She does so well with them and made them both feel comfortable in seconds! Thankful to have found her 🙏🏼”
“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.”
“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 : )”
“Louella was an incredible dog sitter. I am so grateful I chose her to take care of my dog Merlin. I was gone for 3 nights and I’ve never been away fe him that long before. She was in consistent communication and sent some of the best pics of him I have ever seen. He was clearly a very happy boy! It was basically like he was on a vacation and I can’t help but feel he was a little disappointed when it was time to go. I can’t recommend Louella enough!”
“We miss Ashley! She took great care of our dogs whenever we needed to leave town. She truly spoiled them and treated them as her own. They also enjoyed playing with her dogs and running around her backyard. Highly recommend if you’re in the 29/JT area or even vacationing out there.”
“Alice was great and i could tell Harley had a good time playing with the other dogs there. She constantly provides updates with pictures & is quick to respond to all my messages. It definitely made me a lot better leaving harley for the weekend”
“Jen did a fantastic job watching my dog, Pancakes! It was super last minute but she kindly accommodated. She was attentive, caring, and kept me updated throughout. Pancakes came home happy and relaxed. Highly recommend!”
“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.”
“Taurawa was INCREDIBLE! I cannot believe I found such a perfect caretaker for my dogs through rover. Her property is absolutely gorgeous and my dogs had the best time staying there. She’s so caring, knowledgeable, and thoughtful. I can’t wait to take my dogs to stay with her the next time I’m in Joshua tree.”
“Great dog sitter. Very patient and friendly with our super skittish dog. She took her on a hikes and helped socialize her a bit more for a few days. Definitely will come back next visit.”
“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.”
“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!!”
“Salina was amazing! I needed a sitter last minute and she was totally accommodating. I could tell my pups were well loved and she sent over tons of photos. I would definitely recommend if you’re looking for someone in the area!”
“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.”

“Love Mary! She came and hung out with our kittens. Cleaned the litter, and even brought in a package that had been delivered while we were away. We will definitely be re booking. Thank you Mary!”
“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!”
“Beverly was an awesome cat sitter for our drop in visits. She cared exactly what we care about with our cats - them staying safe and comfy! She was thorough in locating them and providing photos and updates. We’ll definitely be partnering again!”
About: Both of us grew up with pets in our homes; some of our fondest memories include time spent with our animals. Tristan has had dogs ranging from a little Chihuahua to a Great Dane, while Adeline had a series of high-energy mixes, as well as a couple mellow cats. We watched many of our friends' animals prior to adopting our pup George about a year ago, and have loved creating a forever home for him! We both are self-employed, and frequently work from home throughout the week. This flexibility allows us to be attentive with breaks and walks, and ensures that our pup and yours won't be left alone for too long each day. We have a fenced-in yard and live in a very walkable area near a park. We love to take walks and play with our dog, and will treat yours with the same amount of attention and care!
“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!”
“Liz always goes that extra mile to make us feel good about leaving our kitty when we are away. Liz has clearly become our cat's favorite friend, and we highly recommend her to others!”
“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!”
“Diana looked after our kitties when we went out of town. She made sure they had food and water, cleaned their litter boxes, loved on them, and helped take care of the house when our mini ac unit was leaking. She did more than was required of a pet sitter ❤️”
“Another great petsit! Love be the pictures of my kitty and updates. BReN is also very thoughtful about bringing in our mail and even bringing the trash bins up from the street. I’m so grateful we found BRen.”
About: Hi I’m Serena! I’m currently in my master’s program at CSULB! I work hard and give so much love to every single one of my client’s fur babies depending on all their needs. I've grown up with 5+ dogs in my lifetime and taken care of dogs and cats of every kind and size since I was 10. Neighbors, friends, and family have trusted me with their pets while they were on vacation to walk, feed, and administering their medication (both orally and injections) to their pets. I've taken animal CPR and have lots of experience with senior care with three senior dogs. I’m current attending college at CSULB but I am available in the mornings and evenings for drop in visits. For overnight or extended stays I am available Sunday-Saturday. I will care for them in your home and follow the instructions given to feed and drop in visits. If they are allowed outside, I will go outside with them and keep an eye on them both day and night. I will never let them outside on their own due to safety reasons. If discussed and allowed to housesit, I will keep your pets company for hours doing my quiet hobbies (Reading, drawing, etc.) since my pets tend to dislike being alone in the house for long periods of time.
“Emily L. Cares for my senior female cat like NO OTHER professional I've ever had. Her communications during my recent 10 day trip showed me a happy,genuine loving pet Caregiver ,bringing out the best in my pet. My cat was talkative, playful during toy time, her coat was shiny from brushing sessions and she ate like a champ. All concerns I have when leaving my pet are no more. Look no further for the pet whisperer Emily is.”
“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!”
“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!”
About: I am new to being a cat mom myself, but I’d say my babies are pretty happy. I love to be around cats since they are so different to the big dogs I’ve grown up with. They are so chill most of the time which is something I love. I would love to care for your cat baby so I can further my experience with more than my two babies at home.
“I absolutely loved Salina and would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone. Even when she had a hiccup in her schedule, she let me know right away, we worked it out, and she always made me feel like I had the best caretaker for my lil beebs. Heck yes and please book her!!”
“I am so grateful to have come across Kristin through Rover. My baby Lyu absolutely adores her, and we are both grateful to have Kristin as a part of our weekly routine. Her training techniques, knowledge, and insight have been invaluable in strengthening the bond between my pup and me. Kristin is a strong and confident dog trainer and I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking to enrich their dog’s life.”

“We’re so glad we found Juliann to take care of our pup during a few long days in the park. Her place was super clean, she’s communicative and friendly, and our girl warmed up to her right away. Thanks Juliann!”
“Lacey was great. I left the dogs with her for one day and they settled in with her quickly. She had them for an entire day and they were happy and healthy when I picked them up in the evening. My dogs got along well with her two small dogs and she was able to report that my special needs dog didn't have any seizures while he was there. I would definitely bring the dogs back if the opportunity arose.”
About: My family has had dogs ever since I was a baby. I didn’t own my own dog until I met Buddy and we have since then been inseparable. We go to the dog park every single day to play with all the other loving dogs. I’m currently working from home and am very flexible. Can take your pets for a walk and play with them outside or inside. They will be loved. I am proactive and will encourage the pups to run around outside, play fetch, and wrestle each other. Buddy would love more friends to play with.
“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”
“Amazing! She was very flexible with our time schedule requests and loved on our pupper. I would definitely use again and would recommend to others in the area. She lives in an easy proximity to J Tree as well.”
“Ashley was so great with my 7 year old border collie, who loves fetch and cuddling, both of which she was given plenty of ❣️ She watched my dog two days in a row, while I was in joshua tree and she was so lovely! Thank you, Ashley, and thanks for taking such great care of aubi and for all the stellar recs around town!”
“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.”
“Although my daughter's service dog goes with us everywhere, we decided it was best to leave him in capable hands while we enjoyed a tip to the Living Desert near Palm Springs, CA. Nuvea was available last minute to care for Huckleberry in her home. He enjoyed a play date with a few fellow canines and a cat. Nuvea was able to accommodate treat time and dinner for him and excursions in her backyard. When we returned Huckleberry was happy and ready to resume his care for his girl. We were pleased he had a safe and cool home to rest in while in our absence. I highly recommend Nuvea and her happy pup safe home for care.”
“Sitter was great! My dog really liked her and she sent update photos on how she was doing throughout the day. Over all we are very pleased with her care and attention to Nahla. Thank you so much!”
“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 😊”

About: I've had dogs my entire adult life. My last dog was a special girl and didn't get along with other dogs so when I went to work I hired someone to visit and hang out with her and I called that person her "friend for hire". I'd love to be your pets friend for hire. In addition to having my own dogs I have been a volunteer with a local shelter for the past year. I have experience with dog handling, walking, training, medical recovery, some medication administration, and general playing/loving/cuddling. I have experience with special needs dogs, untrained dogs, unsocialized dogs, senior dogs, puppies, and even some mess dogs. I also grew up with cats and started my volunteer work "socializing" with cats and kittens. I love all the furry little friends! I currently make my own schedule as a personal trainer so I am flexible and available to meet your dog's needs. Weekdays or weekends are available. Want to go for a hike or rock climbing? I've got your furry friend covered. As someone who had an aggressive dog I understand that it can be challenging trusting someone new with your pet. You know your animal best and I will listen and adhere to any/all boundaries you have for their health and enjoyment.

“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.”
“Taurawa was INCREDIBLE! I cannot believe I found such a perfect caretaker for my dogs through rover. Her property is absolutely gorgeous and my dogs had the best time staying there. She’s so caring, knowledgeable, and thoughtful. I can’t wait to take my dogs to stay with her the next time I’m in Joshua tree.”
“Great dog sitter. Very patient and friendly with our super skittish dog. She took her on a hikes and helped socialize her a bit more for a few days. Definitely will come back next visit.”
“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.”
“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.”
“Salina was amazing! I needed a sitter last minute and she was totally accommodating. I could tell my pups were well loved and she sent over tons of photos. I would definitely recommend if you’re looking for someone in the area!”
“Carl was the best Rover!!!!! Our dog Phoebe instantly bonded with him and his pups. Very clean house. Beautiful back yard for playing. He took great care of Phoebe and she adjusted great, which isn’t always the case. He send daily updates and even let Phoebe snuggle with him while sleeping, which she is used to at home. So nice she was welcomed as part of the family! We will definitely be using Carl in the future! 5/5 stars!”
“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.”
