“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.”
“Lacey and family were just great! This the first time in almost three years we’ve been away from our dog and she made it a smooth and positive experience for Moose and for us. Lacey is quick to respond, proactively sends great pics and updates, and rolls with changes in plans with finesse. Plus our chonk seems to have lost a few pounds from playing with the other dogs and came home tired and happy. Thank you, Lacey & fam!”
“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!!”
“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 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!”
“Ary watched my two dogs Ringo and Zero for the second time. She was super easy to work with, responsible and friendly. Highly recommended to anyone looking for someone reliable.”

“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.”
“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.”
“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.”

We will be bringing Conrad back next time we are in the palms springs area!”
“April and Rylan were amazing during my stress and responsibilities free weekend. Sending me pictures on how well my doggies did, with their loving care.

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.

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 love Louise and the care she provides for our dog, Sunny. She has cared for Sunny several times and always provides thoughtful updates and a warm, loving home while we’re away. We’re so grateful to have someone we trust so completely with our pup.”
“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!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“Alice has a nice oasis in Joshua Tree for my two dogs. They’ve never traveled away from home so her care was wonderful and comforting. Her two dogs made friends and welcomed my two boys with play and fun. I would ask Alice to care for my boys the next time I am in Joshua Tree!”

“James was really good. He let Biscuit take her time, and she finally came out and said hi to him. And he took care of all of the basics great, her food her water, her litter and went above and beyond with a few extra things I didn't even ask for. I will definitely ask James to help Biscuit and I again. He is very consistent, thorough, reliable and kind.”
“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.”
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.

Thank you I am a part of a community that has a dog park. My home pet friendly. I have a fur baby of my own and my sister has a fur baby of her own as well. Very other pet friendly.
“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 ❤️”
“Jenny was an amazing cat sitter, she provided plenty of care and support for Kitty and made sure to ask questions or provide any additional things she needed. Very pleased, thanks so much Jenny!”

About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was 13. I’ve volunteered at no kill shelters and kennels for 5 years. I currently have two fur babies now (both rescues) and my mother always had about 8 in her home. I’ve taken care of dogs from tea cup to Great Danes. I also have cared for dogs with diabetes, who were blind, and have cerebral palsy. I work full time (Mon -Fri) in the lower dessert, live in JT. I’m home around 4/4:30pm each day. Of course your baby will be the first one that I see once I’m off of work and before I go into work. As a dedicated pet caregiver, I prioritize each animal's well-being and comfort while following your specific instructions. I ensure they receive regular feeding, fresh water, and ample exercise through walks or playtime. I’m attentive to their unique needs, whether it’s administering medication, maintaining a routine, or simply providing companionship. I also keep their environment clean and safe, giving you peace of mind while you’re away. Your pets are not just animals; they’re family, and I’ll treat them with the love and care they deserve!

About: I grew up on a farm with all types of animals and I love taking care of them. Ive had dogs and cats all my life. I currently have two chihuahs, a German Shepard, and two cats.

They can also come inside the house since my pets are allowed anywhere in the house that I am. I have reliable transportation if housesitting is needed and I am available all the time.
“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! 💕”

About: I’ve have taken care of dogs ever since I was a teenager. I love taking care of dogs they bring me such a joy. I know that each dog has their own personality and I love seeing them shine in there own ways. I have taken care of dogs as young as 6 months old to dogs that are 9 years old. I know that senior dogs definitely need more attention when it comes to potty breaks. I also have changed dog diapers. I also grown up with large dog breeds such as Pitbulls, Rottweilers and Huskies. I have also taken care of small dogs such as toy poodles, schnauzer and pekingese. I currently work as a property manager for an Airbnb that runs within my home. Which gives me the flexibility to watch pets. I understand that each pet has their own needs and I want to do what’s best for them. I’m very fortunate to have a fully fence, home, and a separate backyard for my pets and yours. My dogs have their own space and your pet will be staying with me so I can watch them.
“It was a pleasure meeting with Carl, He got good care of my pup and have a lovely house. I will ask Carl for help again when I’m back here for mineral spirits water. Thank you Carl!”
“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.”

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'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.”
“Luz was very accommodating and very good with communication. Her property was very lovely and my dog. Bodie was very happy. I could tell with a big smile on his face! The pictures that she sent me during his stay were very thoughtful.”
“We used Carter’s services for doggy daycare and we couldn’t be more pleased. We came to the desert for our anniversary and needed care for our 3 year old Penny and 5 month old Jack. Carter was quick to respond to my inquiry, he had availability on short notice, his place was super clean and most important Penny and Jack had a blast! He sent several videos of our pups playing which put me at ease seeing them have fun while we were away on our all day hiking Mt. San Jacinto. I would definitely recommend Carter to anyone looking for doggy day care, boarding or any other doggy service. We will use him again when we are in the area. He has lots of experience and understands how to care for all breeds with different personalities and needs. Thanks for everything, 5 stars all the way!”
“Elaine was fabulous! She was the perfect fit for Monte. They bonded right away. Elaine was flexible and easy to communicate with. Her home was clean and dog friendly. I would highly recommend Elaine and will surely use her services in the future.”
“My husband works remote and had to travel for a conference pretty abruptly, so I was looking for doggy day care just a few days in advance and Katie was accommodating and easy to communicate with. Kugel had a great time and I know we’ll come back to Katie again!”
“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!”
“We loved Louise! She took Lizzie at the last minute so we could ride the Tramway and it went well so we brought her back again to go to Joshua Tree NP. When we arrived that second day Lizzie couldn't wait to get out the Van. She was fussing because it was taking me too long to put on her leash. She ran into the yard with Louise full of joy. Louise has a wonderful back yard with grass and shade. She sent photos of Lizzie throughout the day and we felt 100% at ease leaving her. We will use her again when we're back in town.”
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover with over 10 years of hands-on experience working as a groomer’s assistant, where I helped with bathing, brushing, grooming prep, and nail trims for dogs of all sizes and temperaments. I’m comfortable handling nervous, energetic, senior, and special-needs pets, and I always focus on making them feel safe and cared for. I also have extensive experience fostering dogs for rescue organizations and helping animals in need, including rescuing pets off the streets and giving them loving homes. Caring for animals isn’t just work for me—it’s part of my everyday life. My home is full of happy pets, including three dogs, one cat, six birds, and a tortoise. I offer dependable and loving care including dog walking, drop-in visits, pet sitting, boarding, bathing, grooming support, and nail trims. I treat every pet like family and understand how important it is to know your pets are in good hands. I’d love the chance to care for your furry family members. I currently have a very open and flexible schedule, which allows me to give pets plenty of attention and care throughout the day. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, pet sitting, boarding, and last-minute bookings when needed. I can accommodate weekdays, weekends, mornings, afternoons, and evenings to fit your pet’s routine. I’m dedicated to keeping your pet safe and happy. I make sure their space is peaceful, loving, and spotless, so they can feel secure and at ease. I pay close attention to their feeding times, medicine, exercise, and any special needs they might have. I also make sure to earn their trust and treat them as if they were part of my family, whether I’m taking care of them at my place or yours.
“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!”
“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.”

About: Hello! Don't let my profile location deter you from reaching out, I have a very wide service area. I am available to care for all of your pets while you're away! Please contact me for a quote if you have a pet you'd like me to care for other than a dog or cat (submit it as a dog/cat request) ☺️ New to Rover? I have a discount code for you if you book your first service with me! I am available for night and evening drop-ins to feed and play with your pets. Do you work nights and hate leaving your babies alone? Are you going to a fancy dinner and want to make sure your pets are okay when you're gone? I can come by and give you some peace of mind. I can also care for other pets, including lizards, fish, hamsters, rabbits, etc. I am a huge animal lover. I adopted a senior dog years ago and he was the best dog ever, up until his very last day in December, 2023. Our household has water snails, fish, three cats, a dog, and a pig! I have experience with rabbits and hamsters and other small pets, and I have experience with special needs animals. My longest boarding to date was 5 months for a senior cat with Cerebellar hypoplasia. I am available on most evenings and some mornings/afternoons for drop-ins and walks. I also offer boarding, house sitting, and daycare. We are a very animal friendly household. I have a fenced yard and a kiddie pool so your doggos can play and keep cool! My piggy will be there to keep your baby company and I have a 15 year old kid who loves to snuggle and play with all your pets! Cats will enjoy their own space so they can feel comfortable ☺️ !!!Important Notes!!!: I love watching and caring for your snuggle bug(s)! However, I have to sleep too. If you can't pick up your pet before 7pm, one additional day of boarding or doggy daycare will be added to your booking. An additional fee will be added for dogs over 40 pounds. Dogs under 1 year and/or "bully breeds" will be accepted on a case-by-case basis. By booking with me, you acknowledge that if your puppo damages property, you are responsible for any cost of repairs or replacement. When damage occurs, it is usually caused by pets that do not crate or have high anxiety when left alone for even short periods. My policy on dog breeds and sizes is in place because of two separate incidents. First, I lost a beloved pet to a boarded Rover doggo on Christmas morning, 2020. Having to put my little pig Minnie in the freezer after being attacked on Christmas morning was a horribly traumatic experience. In June 2023 I was attacked by a 110lb Rover dog at a meet and greet and had to go to the hospital. If the owner had not been present, I would have been killed. These are incidents that I will not risk repeating. Thank you so much for understanding!
About: As a vegan and former PETA staffer, I love and respect all animals. I also have veterinary technician, veterinary clinic, and animal shelter experience. I've rescued and cared for dogs (both large and small), cats, birds, rodents, reptiles, fish, horses and rabbits. I am completely dedicated to the safety, equality, and well-being of all animals. I work part-time as a photographer so have ample time to take care of your animal friends. And can, of course, provide you with some great photos to put your mind at ease while you're away from your fur babies! I am very active and love a good walk or hike. While I strive to always provide a fun, attention-filled experience, safety is my primary concern, so you can rest assured your animal friends will be in good hands for those times you can't be with them.

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.

About: I've grown up with dogs, raised my 3 adult children around dogs. Just welcomed a dachshund into our home. He's sleep / crate trained and fully potty trained. His current schedule is sleeping through the night 7pm to 6am and is in his crate for 3 90min to 2 hour naps a day. When he's awake he's home with us. I'm hoping to offer overnight and Wknd per care for 1 other small / medium dog where my dachshund can accompany me. This gives me time away from my busy household to earn extra money for my family. I will cater to unique walking, sleeping, feeding and care schedules. I'm very active and looking forward to having a walking buddy for myself and my pup.

“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.”
“Lacey and family were just great! This the first time in almost three years we’ve been away from our dog and she made it a smooth and positive experience for Moose and for us. Lacey is quick to respond, proactively sends great pics and updates, and rolls with changes in plans with finesse. Plus our chonk seems to have lost a few pounds from playing with the other dogs and came home tired and happy. Thank you, Lacey & fam!”

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 ❤️”
