“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.”

“Unfortunately, we had to pick up our dog early. However, ARY was very accommodating and helpful with transitioning our furry baby to a friend for his continued stay. She was very communicative and shared plenty of photos of Casper enjoying his stay with her.”

“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!”

“Matt was able to take George with short notice and provided him with a beautiful home and yard in my absence. I particularly liked that George had opportunities to meet other dogs and build his social + play skills!”

“Jackson was great! Super on top of communication and I felt very comfortable leaving my two dogs with him overnight. I was grateful for the updates with pictures. The pups were as happy as could be when I picked them up. I definitely recommend Jackson and will use him again!”

“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!”

“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!”

“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!!”

“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.”

“Our little Harriet had the best time with Shelly! Thank you for taking such good care of her while we were away. We will certainly call upon you again the next time we go away.”

“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!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“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.”


“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!”

“Alan & Joe were amazing with Sammie. She’s a bit timid when meeting new people. Yet they had her feeling comfortable, and getting belly rubs within minutes of leaving her! Also, they take great pictures and send as many updates as you’d like. Definitely will be using them for future stays!”

“Maverique is young and very large. She loves people and other dogs, but is also excitable when entering a new situation. Breanna handled her very well and I am very pleased with her services.”

“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.”

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.

“Karina was fabulous! Very professional and my kitties were well taken care of … this was my first time using Rover . I’ll definitely be requesting Karina for my next trip away ! Everything perfect upon return ! Five stars ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

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.

“April makes it possible for me to leave my sweet boys to visit people I love. There is nothing more valuable than peace, and that is what April gives me. No one else will do. Thank you!”

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: 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.

“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.”

“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!”

“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.”

“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 👍🏼”

“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.”

“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.”

“Kevin was incredible with Romeo on his first daycare sit! It was so fun for Romeo our dog and Kevin because they played in the oool. Romeo loves to be toweled off and from the looks of it he really got dry because there were 6 pool towels all nearly hung in our outdoor drying rack which Kevin tikkbapon himself to find in our laundry area. The house was all tidy because Kevin knew we had house guests arriving. He is very calm and engaged well with his clients and their pets. Highly recommend.”

“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”

“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!”

“Tony took care of my sweet girl during our stair at Palmer Springs it was so good to find him as Tala sitter as he treated with care and love towards my pup. I recommend him to everyone. Thank you, Tony!”


“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!”

“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: 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).

“My dogs have greatly improved in their stamina, and calmed their energy level! Erica has been a great help with my high energy dogs while I manage my older dog that just can't quite keep up. Super helpful!”

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: 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.

“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!!!”

About: I’ve been a dog lover, owner and house sitter for 12 years. Your home and pets will always have my full attention, love and respect! I consider myself very fortunate to run my own small business and have the flexibility to work from my laptop. Furry friends and warm homes are an ideal environment for me to lightly work, and making sure your pets and home are loved, and safe while you are away. I treat pets and clients homes as if they were my own. Being a bit OCD, I pride myself in my ability to give animals the attention they need, and leaving clients homes in better conditions than I found them in!
About: I’ve worked with all types of pets, small and big, I 'm compassionate about animals and the unconditional love they bring to our lives. Whether it was a shi tzu to a german shepard to a lab, to a horse, I'm a true animal lover. Additionally, I took care of a friend until the end, he got Long-Term Covid in 2019 and died in Feb 2024. I also helped in my mother's care who had muscular dystrophy and my father, who had dementia. I'm a semi-retired entertainment publicist who spent the last 18 years in Los Angeles. After being a part-time resident in PALM SPRINGS since 2008, I'm now a full-time resident that truly loves the desert and no remorse from leaving LA. When I do work, I work from my home office so I'm always around. Also, if you are looking for an extended stays, please reach out to me for discount on mid-long term stays. Mainly by preference, I have my own personal preferences but whatever the Pet Parents want something specific, like no pets on the furniture or bed. Preference for using their own dog bed. I'm here to provide a service tailored to their needs.
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.

About: I have cared for large, medium, and small dogs for 15 years. I also have cat care experience. I studied animal science at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo, so I can also care for livestock and various species of animals more than cats and dogs as well. I have a BS degree in Animal Science and Agricultural Science, a master's in Agriculture and currently working on my doctoral degree. 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 am enrolled in a doctoral program and beginning my dissertation work. I would like to help care for pets to help relieve stress and offer help to fellow pet owners. I care for pets across the Coachella Valley. I have a fenced backyard. One friendly dogs to keep your furry friend company. I can crate. Can crate and walk as well as play every 2 hours. Reach out if you have specific requests.

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.

“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.”

“Unfortunately, we had to pick up our dog early. However, ARY was very accommodating and helpful with transitioning our furry baby to a friend for his continued stay. She was very communicative and shared plenty of photos of Casper enjoying his stay with her.”

“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!”

“Jackson was great! Super on top of communication and I felt very comfortable leaving my two dogs with him overnight. I was grateful for the updates with pictures. The pups were as happy as could be when I picked them up. I definitely recommend Jackson and will use him again!”

“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!”

“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!”

“Alan & Joe were amazing with Sammie. She’s a bit timid when meeting new people. Yet they had her feeling comfortable, and getting belly rubs within minutes of leaving her! Also, they take great pictures and send as many updates as you’d like. Definitely will be using them for future stays!”

“Maverique is young and very large. She loves people and other dogs, but is also excitable when entering a new situation. Breanna handled her very well and I am very pleased with her services.”

“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.”

“Stephanie took amazing care of our dog, Beau, during his third stay with her! From the moment we dropped him off, we knew he was in great hands. She provided updates, made sure he was comfortable, and treated him like her own. Beau came home happy and well cared for, and we truly appreciate the love and attention she gives him. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again. Highly recommend!”


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.
“We are beyond grateful for Malissa! She took care of our two dogs for two nights, and from the moment we met her, it felt like she was already part of our family. Her energy and fun, positive vibes stood out right away—she’s incredibly warm, sweet, and clearly passionate about caring for dogs. She kept us updated with videos and messages, which gave us so much peace of mind, especially since it was our first time leaving them. We hadn’t had the chance to take even a short weekend away as a family in a long time, and thanks to her, we finally could—without worrying for a second. She was so accommodating and made the whole experience feel easy and stress-free. We truly can’t thank her enough and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for someone they can trust with their pups!”

“I felt very comfortable leaving my pit bull with Tony. She is a senior dog, so I appreciated the updates on how she was eating and pooping. Tony sent lots of pictures and communicated promptly. Cici had a nice relaxed time and I could tell that Tony was very caring.”

“Nueva was a lovely sitter for Johnny. He really enjoyed his stay with her. She updated us throughout the week with texts and pictures, so we could enjoy our vacation knowing that our little dog was having a good time. Would highly recommend, and we will definitely use Nueva again if we travel without our dog.”
