“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”
“Matthew always takes such great care of our girls. Their home is perfect for pets and has a great outdoor space. I will always book with Matthew when our girls needs a sitter.”
“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.”
“I am absolutely and completely impressed by the kind, genuine care and attention that Edgar and his wife shared with my lil guy Zion. The communication was very clear and consistent, that was so good. We are very grateful for them and recommend them 💯! We hope to be able to have them watch Zion again soon. Truly felt like he was with family. Thank you.”
“Brandon was so good with my boys. I have two really quirky boxers, one pup thats 2 and a Sr. that is almost 12. He sent detailed updates with the cutest pictures and i could tell he was taking great care of them, which allowed me to enjoy my time away. He provides a safe environment and took them out for several walks to keep them exercised. They were both really happy boys when i picked them up which says it all. I will definitely have Brandon care for these two babies of mine again 🤍.”
“Excellent choice. Alan and Joe S were fantastic with our 3 y/ o Maltese. They sent several pics throughout and he looked quite happy and content as was on pickup 2 nights later. Very good experience. Will do with them 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!”
“Frank & Saleha are the best! They took care of my senior dog like he was their own and went above and beyond. I would highly recommend them. I was super comfortable leaving my baby in their care.”
“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!”
“Emily & Nesha have a lovely home. When we (Ralph & I) entered their place we immediately felt very comfortable. I was very nervous leaving Ralph with people he didn’t know. He was so comfortable that I was a little hurt (: he didn’t make a fuss when I left him. He makes more of a fuss when I leave for the grocery store, so he was definitely happy with Emily & Nesha. They sent lovely photos of him while I was gone. I was able to not worry about him at all while on my trip and that was a wonder feeling. I was able to really enjoy my friends in Chicago. If I need a sitter again I will definitely use them again.”
“I’m happy I made the choice of leaving my baby Georgie with Tasha. She was a great at communicating, and sending me pics and videos. I would definitely leave him with her again. Thank you Tasha.”
“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.”
“Shelly was a fantastic sitter for my little Abby. Shelly was very welcoming and sweet. Her home was clean and open for Abby to explore. Abby was allowed on the furniture/bed and was able to cruise the yard freely and lounge in the sun as she pleased. Abby was a happy girl staying with Shelly. I would highly recommend Shelly as a dog sitter!”
“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!”
“Louise was wonderful. I felt so at ease and knew Sunny was enjoying her time. Loved the photos of her adventures and the updates during her stay! I will definitely reach out again.”
“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!!”
“Edith was wonderful! The boarding request was last minute and she graciously accepted the booking. Lucy was well cared for during her stay. Edith even washed Lucy’s bed before I picked her up. Thank you!”
About: I’ve been a dog lover my entire life, and dogs have always been a central part of my home and my heart. Over the years I’ve cared for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments, so I’m comfortable handling everything from daily routines to those moments when a pup isn’t feeling their best. I take pride in making sure every dog in my care gets plenty of walks, playtime, and the kind of attention that keeps their tail wagging. Whether your dog needs a calm companion or an enthusiastic play session, I’m here for all of it and will treat them like my own. I’m retired and home all day every day, so your dog will always have someone around. I’m around morning, afternoon, and evening love having a pup by my side throughout the day. I live in a condo with access to a fenced yard, so there’s a safe spot outside for fresh air and playtime whenever your pup needs it. I have a dog of my own at home, so your dog will have a buddy to hang out with as well.

“I am so grateful for how well Julie took care of Teddy. She sent pictures and videos and it really helps me not feel guilty for being gone when I see that he's having fun with someone he likes.”
“Karina was amazing. This booking was my first time using River.com and the experience has been incredible. Karina came in each day, sent pictures and updates of my two little cats. She spent time with them and although they are shy cats, they befriended her. I am grateful to have found a pet sitter that we love and trust. It will definitely make it easier when I do have to leave them.”
“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.”
“Erica was super great with home visits while I was out of town. Great communication, and a lot of reassuring videos made me feel confident my 4 dogs were happy and well cared for! Highly recommended!”
About: I've cared for dogs of all ages (horses too!) since I was a kid. My dogs are seniors so I understand their particular needs well. I'm currently freelancing from home part-time and will have plenty of time to care for and play with your pets. Walks are part of boarding, of course. I have a fenced yard and two friendly, calm dogs to keep your pets company. I give my dogs homemade organic treats and will adhere to all rules you have about play, treats, walks, etc.
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.
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 have a past of dog walking and sitting and I am ready to take care of your pups with a brisk to long walk dependent on their needs! I am equipped with water, poo bags, and lots of patience and love. I've been pet sitting long term for over 5 years now doing in home care for an aging but not quite elderly dog and I'm ready to take that care to you!

I am ready to keep your fur babies safe as per your instructions and always have my phone on me in case of emergency contact.
“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 been a proud cat parent for the past nine years, and during that time I’ve also cared for the cats of family and friends whenever they’ve been away. From playful kittens to quiet seniors, I’ve met all kinds including unique breeds like the Sphinx, and I love learning each cat’s personality and preferences. At home, my own cat is pampered and treated like family, with daily love, vitamins, and a fresh, clean litter box. I know how important the little details are; whether it’s giving extra cuddle time, respecting a shy kitty’s space, or keeping their environment spotless. Your cat will receive the same care and attention I give to my own, so you can enjoy peace of mind knowing they’re safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away.
About: Our little family and I will enjoy taking care of your fur baby, we accept same day appointments and are willing to do everything in our power to make the stay for both you and your fur baby enjoyable and stress free as possible.

“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.”
“We will be a repeat client for sure. They were great with my playful dog and awesome with communicating about updates with pictures, so we really appreciate that. Thank you 👍🏼”
“Alice and her daughter were so great and really took great care of my dog Lucia! I love that someone is always home with the dogs they care for since my pup gets nervous sometimes. Thank you for the wonderful experience”
“Shelly was amazing with our semi-anxious Roxy! If you are in the Palm Springs area, and want to do those things that dogs can’t do (Indian Canyon or the Tram) I would not hesitate to book Shelly:)”
“Dennis and Tom were very friendly and super helpful in taking care of our dogs during our visit to Palm Springs. They were responsive, responsible, and accommodating, enabling us to visit town while knowing that Milo and Frankie were well cared for. We can’t thank them enough!”
“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!”
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.
“Louise is very sweet and welcoming to myself and my dogs. Communication is great with photo updates throughout the stay, updates on behavior, and activities during stay. Highly recommended.”
“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!”
“Once again, we are absolutely thrilled with the exceptional care of our beloved pets, Wexley and Willow, received from our wonderful Kevin! We are alway confident that our furry friends are in great hands. The level of attention, love, and humor he provides is simply outstanding. Wexley and Willow were not just looked after; they were truly pampered! Kevin takes the time to engage with them, ensuring they were not only fed but also entertained. It was heartwarming to see them bond, and we loved the daily updates filled with adorable photos and amusing anecdotes. Knowing that our pets were happy and well-cared for allowed us to relax and enjoy our time away. We genuinely appreciate the kindness, patience, and dedication shown by fabulous Kevin. We are so thankful for his wonderful heart and can’t recommend them highly enough! If you’re looking for someone who treats your pets like family, this is definitely the person you need. Thank you for making our time away stress-free and enjoyable!”
“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.”
“Tashia was such a great caretaker for our beagle! Our beagle had such a fun time playing with the other dogs - Tashia sent photos and video! You can tell Tashia loves animals and cares about your pet…..we will book her again.”
“Our Benito had a blast with Eric! We loved all the updates, and based on how tired he’s been since he got home you can tell he got lots of attention & activity! Highly recommend!!”
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.
“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.”

“Julie is fantastic. She took great care of our gal Mesa for an afternoon while Mom and Dad were playing in the mountains. 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!!!”

I have a flexible schedule that allows me plenty of time to give your pets the attention and care they deserve. I’m available throughout the week for drop-in visits, walks, and pet sitting. I can work with your pet’s normal feeding, potty, walking, and bedtime routine and will do my best to accommodate each family’s schedule. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my priority.

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.

About: I have cared for large, medium, and small dogs for 15 years. I also have cat care experience.

Currently, Fall 2026, for my day job I am a high school teacher who teaches classes in veterinarian sciences, livestock management, plant science and horticulture, floral design, and landscape design.

I work full-time but seasonally at a large local hotel and my hours vary. I have a very flexible schedule and can work around calendar based obstacles. I find that most animals actually like to stay in their own yard, but if need be, I do have decent sized back yard and it is secured by brick walls / concrete barriers.
About: I have two fur babies of my own; my tiny chihuahua and my sweet feline boy, so I truly understand how special and high‑maintenance pets can be.

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.
About: I am a person who enjoys taking care of fur babies and I will provide an attentive service as if each one of them is my own, I will provide any special care needed in order to make sure you and your fur baby are both happy with the service in which will keep you coming back. I am available for last minute appointments and will answer any concerns right away. My schedule is very flexible, my hubby and I are willing to work with your schedule. No need to look anywhere else your pets will not want to leave our home. I have a fenced yard, and an area in which I can walk them daily, i am close to shopping centers in case there’s any last minute things your pet might want or need.
About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life, and for the past 13 years I’ve been consistently caring for my own pups. Over the years I’ve worked with just about every breed you can imagine: Terriers, Huskies, Dobermans, Pitbulls, Boxers, Chihuahuas, Yorkies, Labs, Schnauzers, Poodles, Pomeranians, Border Collies, German Shepherds, Great Pyrenees, and more. No matter the size, age, or personality, I love getting to know each dog and what makes them happiest. At home, my wife and I share life with two Huskies and a cat, who we treat like our kids (yes birthdays and all!). Because I know how important our pets are to us, I extend the same level of love, patience, and care to every pet I look after. I come prepared with tandem leashes, a pet stroller, and standard leashes for walks of all kinds. I always pick up after your pup and make sure they’re safe, comfortable, and enjoying their time outside. For peace of mind, I’ve completed First Aid & CPR training (through both college and my career), and I stay up-to-date on general emergency response. While my certifications are human-focused, my training has given me the ability to quickly assess situations and take action; whether that means recognizing signs of overheating, making sure hydration is available, or adjusting for temperature and activity levels. I’m also OSHA certified, which means safety and awareness are second nature to me. Your pets will be in caring, capable hands, and I’ll treat them like my own from the moment we meet. I currently work a full-time government job. My wife is a teacher, so our lives are pretty busy. I am looking to do this as a part-time and enjoy combining a few things I enjoy: pets and exercise. Current Schedule: I get up around Noon, on the days I work (Wed, Thurs, Friday, Sat, Sun) I work from 6PM to 6AM. I will only accept care appointments between 1PM and 4:30PM. On Monday and Tuesday I will accept care appointments between 1PM and 6PM. Currently boarding is off the tables since my wife and I are busy. But I can make drop-in visits! In my home, pets are treated like family. I make sure they always have access to fresh water, healthy food on schedule, clean bedding, and plenty of love and attention. I keep playtime safe but fun, and I’m mindful of the temperature, hydration, and overall comfort of every pet in my care. My own pets get birthday celebrations, vitamins, and daily exercise, and I extend that same level of care to visiting pets. In a client’s home, I respect your routines and follow instructions closely so your pet feels secure in their familiar environment. That means sticking to feeding schedules, cleaning litter boxes or outdoor areas, refreshing water bowls, and making sure walks, playtime, and cuddle time happen as you prefer. I also handle clean-up (messes, accidents, fur, or litter) so your home is just as you left it. My goal in either setting is to keep pets happy, healthy, and comfortable while giving you peace of mind knowing they’re in capable and loving hands.

“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”
“Great couple! Super nice with a very clean and open environment. Their other two dogs are just awesome as well. Make good playmates with any playful dog. Highly recommended.”
“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.”
“Caddy was LOVED and so well taken care of. Malissa was amazing! Great communicator, cuddled and loved on my dog and walked her and gave her all the attention in the world. My dog is spoiled! And she did not want to come home when we picked her up. I was hesitant booking with multiple dogs and was happy to find that Malissa took 1-2 dogs at a time. It was only caddy this time and she had a little puppy. Good to know my dog behaved and I will book her over and over in the future. Malissa offers multiple services so anything you need, she can do!”
“I am absolutely and completely impressed by the kind, genuine care and attention that Edgar and his wife shared with my lil guy Zion. The communication was very clear and consistent, that was so good. We are very grateful for them and recommend them 💯! We hope to be able to have them watch Zion again soon. Truly felt like he was with family. Thank you.”
“Brandon was so good with my boys. I have two really quirky boxers, one pup thats 2 and a Sr. that is almost 12. He sent detailed updates with the cutest pictures and i could tell he was taking great care of them, which allowed me to enjoy my time away. He provides a safe environment and took them out for several walks to keep them exercised. They were both really happy boys when i picked them up which says it all. I will definitely have Brandon care for these two babies of mine again 🤍.”
“Excellent choice. Alan and Joe S were fantastic with our 3 y/ o Maltese. They sent several pics throughout and he looked quite happy and content as was on pickup 2 nights later. Very good experience. Will do with them 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!”
“Frank & Saleha are the best! They took care of my senior dog like he was their own and went above and beyond. I would highly recommend them. I was super comfortable leaving my baby in their care.”
“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.”
“We had such a great experience with Mike watching Mazie! It honestly felt like Mazie had her own little vacation while we were away. She got to swim, play with another dog, and came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well taken care of. Mike kept us updated with messages and photos, which made it so easy to relax knowing she was having such a fun time. It’s clear he really cares about the dogs he watches. We’d absolutely trust Mike with Mazie again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a great dog sitter. 🐶🌴”
“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!”
“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!”
“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!”
“Louise was wonderful. I felt so at ease and knew Sunny was enjoying her time. Loved the photos of her adventures and the updates during her stay! I will definitely reach out again.”
About: I’m a caring, dependable animal lover with years of personal experience caring for dogs. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, potty breaks, giving lots of attention, and keeping pets comfortable while their families are away. I’m patient and attentive, and I’ll treat your pet with the same love and care I give my own. I’m also comfortable following detailed instructions and caring for pets who may need a little extra patience or attention. I have a flexible schedule that allows me plenty of time to give your pets the attention and care they deserve. I’m available throughout the week for drop-in visits, walks, and pet sitting. I can work with your pet’s normal feeding, potty, walking, and bedtime routine and will do my best to accommodate each family’s schedule. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my priority. I carefully follow all instructions provided by pet parents, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, and house rules. I keep pets supervised, make sure doors and gates are secure, and provide a calm, loving environment. I’m also happy to send photos and updates so you can feel comfortable knowing your pet is safe and well cared for.
“Rachel was absolutely amazing with my two pugs, Roxy and Kobe! This was my first time leaving them with a dog sitter, so I was naturally a little nervous, but she made the entire experience completely stress-free. Her communication was outstanding from start to finish. She always responded quickly to my messages, kept me updated on how my dogs were doing, and sent me plenty of pictures, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. Anytime I had a question, she answered right away and made sure I knew how Roxy and Kobe were doing. Before their stay, we met in person, and I also got to meet her adorable Golden Retriever, Chubbs. He is such a sweet and friendly dog, and Roxy and Kobe got along so well with him. It was comforting to know they were in such a welcoming environment. Rachel is kind, caring, professional, and truly loves the dogs she watches. I felt completely comfortable leaving Roxy and Kobe with her, and I wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again. I highly recommend Rachel to anyone looking for a trustworthy, reliable, and attentive dog sitter. Thank you, Rachel, for taking such wonderful care of Roxy and Kobe!”
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.
