“Jackson continues to exceed our expectations! From the moment we dropped off our Dobies, we knew they were in great hands. He kept us updated with photos and messages throughout their stay, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was obvious they were having a great time, and they came home happy, relaxed, and well cared for.”
“Our 2 dogs stayed at Brandon’s overnight for the first time and it seemed to be such a great experience! He took them for walk, played with them and made them comfortable by letting them being themselves. He sent us detailed information about how things were going twice a day which made us feel that he was taking good care of our pups.”
“Helen was so loving and attentive to all Chewy's quirkiness. I felt so confident leaving him for an overnight stay. You can just sense the dog lover within her the first time you meet her. I will definitely call on her for both both short and longer stays.”
“Katie was really good. She took care of George for a week and sent daily updates. I could always reach her. You can see she loves dogs and was great with George who warmed up to her very quickly.”
“Our now 16 month old doggy jumps out of the car every time we drop him off, and runs to Sierra's front door, never looking back to say goodbye to us! He thinks he's going to summer camp each time! He can't wait to get into the back yard and and run and play. It is so comforting to us knowing he loves being with Sierra. She takes the best care of him and always sends pics of him and his "campers" play and running in that wonderful back yard. Thank you, Sierra for taking such good care of our sweet boy!”
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.
“Maggie took care of Frankie, our 1 year old AusieDoodle for a month. There were many trips to the dog park, and many playmates as well when Maggie took care of other dogs. Maggie even took her for a trim and bath at our request. Frankie came back to us healthy and happy. We are very pleased with the care Maggie gave Frankie and highly recommend Maggie to anyone who needs dog sitting services in the area.”
“Wow! What a great time Bee had with Brandon. He is obviously a big dog lover and gave our very young and energetic and, yes, mischievous pup full time attention. She came home so tired and calm. We got frequent communications so we never had to worry. We appreciate the flexibility and devotion shown by Brandon, and will definitely call on him next time we are in the Palm Springs area.”
“Amazing job looking after our Weimaraner while we were out on holiday for a week. So flexible and understanding when our flight got delayed, and kept us updated with pics. Thank you again Whitney and Justin you guys are the best!”
About: As a lifelong animal lover, I understand that every pet has a unique personality, routine, and needs. My goal is to provide safe, dependable, and loving care so you can have peace of mind while you're away. As a full-time educator, responsibility, patience, and clear communication are second nature to me. Whether it's daily walks, drop-in visits, overnight care, or simply giving your pet extra attention and affection, I'll treat them like they're my own. I'm comfortable following detailed care instructions, administering medications if needed, maintaining feeding schedules, providing regular exercise, and sending plenty of photo updates so you always know how your pet is doing. I believe pets thrive with consistency, kindness, and lots of love, and I look forward to getting to know both you and your furry family member! Pet care fits naturally into my schedule, and I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. At the moment, I have weekend availability and am accepting bookings, but if you needed some flexibility just communicate and we can work out scheduling. I will provide the same reliable, attentive care and will do my best to accommodate bookings whenever possible. I believe consistency, communication, and making your pet feel safe and loved are the most important parts of every visit. I am currently in apartment living, so regular walks and potty breaks are given. I have a small dog Arlo, so your animal will have a companion here to play with. Dogs are also allowed on the furniture for cuddles or dog beds if they prefer. I have two kennels, so if your pup is kennel trained I will use at your preference.
“Matt was absolutely incredible! He stayed with our dog Nipsey for 3 days. Communication was outstanding, we got daily updates with photos and videos, which gave us total peace of mind. Will definitely rebook again!”
“Cici is a great dog caretaker & dog lover. She is also a lifesaver!!! I was sick and could not drive she she came over to get Molly. It was a tremendous relief, and I knew that Molly was in good hands. I'm so grateful to Rover and especially Cici !”
“Chyna took fantastic care of our Corgi. She sent lots of pictures and videos of them playing, snuggling etc. She also is just a delightful person and we felt so comfortable leaving our dog with her. Will definitely call her again.”
“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.”
“Our little Bella is quite particular when it comes to new people but Joan and Phil went out of their way to make her comfortable and she had a great time with them. We would highly recommend Joan for your furry family! A warm and loving environment for sure!”
“Erin and Alex were amazing sitters for my pup, Phoebe. She can get a bit anxious but she immediately warmed up to both of them. Erin kept me updated throughout the stay with photos and texts. She was extremely professional, caring, and took extra special care of my girl. Phoebe was right at home when I arrived to pick her up and I could tell she had been well cared for.”
“Patti was a godsend to us when we had to leave our small pet for a weekend to attend a family event in Seattle. We had just arrived in Palm Desert for a month, and knew no one and no place that we trust to take good care of our little pet. Patti responded and gave Sydney lots of TLC and genuine care during the time we were away. We are very grateful to her.”

“Alexis was great! She was very careful with our diabetic cat (who requires 2 shots a day / 12 hours apart) and always let us know after each injection that the shot had gone well. She also stayed in touch and sent photos of our boys. We’d definitely book her again!”
“Julie is amazing! She offered a meet and greet which made me feel that much more comfortable. She sent me sweet photos and a detailed report and of all that happened during her drop in. Our cats warmed up to her during her quick stay! We would definitely book with her again!”
“McKenna cared for our 2 young cats when we were away from home for 4 days. She was always on time, followed all instructions and was great at communicating with us. She sent photos and updates every day. We would definitely use Mc Kenna again the next time we're out of town.”
“Hands down the best experience so far with Rover. Victoria was exceptional. She was recommended to me and let this be my recommendation to anyone desiring drop-in visits. Her updates were thorough and detailed. Even the pictures had captions added to make it fun and informative. The love and care she had for our dogs and respect for us and our home was evident.”
“Kimberly was such an angel helping with our 2 pampered cats!! We appreciated the photos and video and our girls seemed very relaxed when we got home. It's stressful leaving your pets and home with someone you don't know well although we felt really comfortable. So happy to have a reliable option in the Desert next time we go away. Thanks again Kimberly!! 🙏”
“Such a relief finding Jessica! My husband and I recently moved to the Valley and have been looking to find reliable options when we go out of town to babysit our 2 cute young cats. We don’t have human babies so these are truly our babies! I immediately felt comfortable with Jessica and I could tell our girls were comfortable too. Our home was left tidy and I’m sure Mavis and Margaux appreciated having a loving sitter while we were gone. Looking forward to booking again ?”
“Amazing experience! Melanie was able to accommodate my request at the last minute, which I really appreciated. She was reliable, communicative, and took great care of my pet during the drop-in. I also really appreciated that she was open to doing a trial visit first, since I’m looking for someone I can trust for longer-term house sitting in the future. Everything went smoothly, and I felt very comfortable with her care. I’d definitely recommend her and would happily book with her again!”

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We can’t thank Holly enough for stepping in at the last minute to take care of our pets! She was incredibly understanding and accommodating with our sudden trip, and her communication was excellent from start to finish. We really appreciated how attentive she was to all of our pets’ needs and how she kept us updated with messages and photos—it gave us such peace of mind while we were away. Everything was perfectly handled, and our pets were clearly happy and well cared for. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and professional pet sitter!”

About: With over 11 years of hands-on cat care experience, I bring a depth of understanding that goes far beyond basic sitting. My background includes working with animal shelters, caring for energetic kittens, supporting senior cats with special routines, and raising my own three cats, each with their own unique needs and personalities. This range has taught me how to read feline behavior, adapt quickly, and provide calm, confident care in any situation. I’m especially attentive to routine, cleanliness, and emotional comfort.

Whether they’re independent, anxious, senior, or affectionate, I adjust to their pace and personality. I’m comfortable with: • Administering medications • Basic wound care • Supporting senior or special‑needs cats • Creating a quiet, predictable environment for sensitive cats My goal is always to help your cat feel understood, respected, and completely at ease while you’re away.

“Our puppy Moby loves Katie and would run up to her when he sees her. Katie is always willing to care for Moby whenever we need her, even on short notice. She communicates with us during Moby’s stay with her, with pictures and comments about how he’s doing. We love Katie too because she is a caring lady who loves our puppy as much as we do.”
“We were able to book Jackson last minute when our original fell through! Our guy seemed to have a ton of fun and had no problem going right into Jackson’s house! We would for sure use him again if needed!”
“We were referred toSierra by a friend who uses her a lot, for daycare and overnight boarding. We just used her for a day with our two dogs. She was great. Quick to reply about everything. She knelt down with the dogs and watched me go. She has a great set up - where you walk in a gated area to her front door. She was honest with us when she told us the puppy stuggled and whined. She texted photos and updates. We would use her again :)”
“This is the second time we've worked with Shayna (we missed the review window on the first time) and we couldn't be happier having met her! She's provided both in-home overnights (10 days!) and day care for our 2 dogs, one old with medication needs and one young puppy. She is calm, friendly and professional and she clearly cares for every pet she works with. And our dogs LOVE her! She goes above and beyond expectations, shuttling our pups to appointments and even running errands if we needed something extra while we were gone. She already feels like part of the family and we look forward to working with her again. We can't recommend her enough!”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs of all sizes since I was a young girl, and animals have always been a natural part of my life. I’ve rescued dogs throughout my adulthood and loved every breed, personality, and quirky soul that’s come my way. Even cats — despite my allergies — tend to walk right up to me, which always makes me smile. I’ll still care for them with love (and a little help from allergy meds). I’m an empath with a deep, intuitive connection to animals. Nervous, shy, senior, or sensitive pets usually relax around me quickly. I read their body language, respect their boundaries, and create a calm, predictable environment where they feel safe and understood. I also bring professional caregiving skills to my pet care. As a retired massage therapist and longtime caregiver, I can offer gentle pet massage, calming touch, and support for aging, compassionate end of life care and support or anxious dogs. I’m comfortable providing wound care, administering medications, and injections for diabetic animal when needed. What truly sets me apart is the combination of lifelong love of animals, my experience, intuition, and genuine compassion. Your pet will be cared for with patience, warmth, and the same steady presence I’ve brought to every animal I’ve loved. When I am caring for your loved one I commit to your Pet only. No other side jobs. No leaving to walk or feed another animal. I serve one family at a time whether that is 1 pet or 3 or more Your family is my priority always. I create a calm, predictable environment where pets feel safe, understood, and cared for in my Home or Yours. I will respect your home, your space, your privacy and the trust you placed in me.
About: Hi, my name is Lily! I’ve grown up around pets my entire life and have lots of experience with dogs as well as with fostering cats. As a recent grad, I have lots of free time that I would love to spend with your pets! I just completed my undergraduate degree with a background in Law, Justice, and Society. As a new grad, I am currently unemployed and have lots of free time. I am very active so I would be happy with long walks, playtime, and keeping up with high-energy dogs. At the same time, i’m attentive and patient with more relaxed or anxious pets. I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, so I prioritize clear communication, reliability, and making sure your pet feels safe and comfortable. I’m happy to follow any specific routines, feeding schedules, or care instructions that you provide. Whether your pet needs lots of exercise, companionship, or just someone dependable while you’re away, I’d love to help! In clients’ homes I am respectful of your space and maintain your pets normal routine to help them feel comfortable and secure. I am also happy to provide regular updates and photos.
“Brandon is an excellent caregiver for pets. He's responsive, reliable and most important. My dogs really liked him and felt comfortable and safe. Thank you so much we appreciate it.”
“Candace was very attentive to the specific needs of my dog. Her place was perfect for his needs. Sheis a very warm and loving person. My dog saw her as a member of the family.”
“We were looking for a day care to drop off our goldendoodle, Zeke for one day during our short trip to Palm Springs. Lauren accepted our request at a very short notice of just the previous night. The timings for the drop off and pick up were very flexible. Lauren took good care of Zeke throughout the 12 hours that he was with her. At the end of the day when we went over to pick him up, she also advised us a couple of things for our 10 month old puppy which we definitely appreciated. I wish I lived closer to Lauren and could drop off our puppy on a regular basis.”
“I loved working with Whitney! She had a dog that my dog could play with… She gave me regular photo updates and video updates, which was awesome! She was quick to respond, and really easy to work with! I highly recommend her!”
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 has been great with our dog. She is on time, keeps us updated with photos and texts. She is also very flexible if our schedule changes. I highly recommend her as a dog walker/sitter and will continue to use her for our pup.”
“Cici was great and extremely friendly. She checked in throughout the day and updated me on how things were going with my pup. I could tell she took great care of him as he was relaxed after picking him up.”
“We are vacationing for 2 months in the Palm Desert area and needed to find a good dog sitter for our Labrador for a few days and a couple overnights. We found Tanya!! She is great with our dog (more on that) and even greater with us and our sporadic schedule. It has been so easy to schedule with Tanya. She has been very accommodating as we don’t always know what time we will get back to pick up our girl and Tanya has been very flexible. As for our dog’s experience, it’s clear she loves “getting to go” to Tanya’s. When we get out of the car, she runs to the door and wags her tail until Tanya opens the door. Then the fun begins!! Tanya has truly enhanced our vacation and our dog’s as well!!”
“Our big girl Bee had a fabulous vacation at the Brandon and Billy “resort!” This is the second time they have cared for Bee while we enjoy the tennis tournament and it hopefully won’t be the last. They are wonderful with her.”
“Amy and Juan took such great care of Winston, accommodating us for a last minute stay. They took the time to understand him and his needs and really got to know him so well in such a short time.the communication and care was perfect. We would love to have Winston stay with Amy and Juan again soon!”

About: Hello You Loving Pet Owner, You! My name is Samantha B., and I grew up loving to care for animals. In fact, I used to want to be a veterinarian, so in a way I've always been interested in Pet-Care. This has led me to later pet-sitting for my family, my friends, and some past neighbors. Now I simply enjoy pet-sitting for when I need to earn a little extra cash to help pay off bills and expenses. The current services that I can offer are Dog Walking, making Drop-In Visits, and House Sitting. ● I can handle walking two to three small-medium sized dogs at once. For big dogs, I prefer to walk them 1-to-1. On walks I will ALWAYS clean after your pet, and keep them safe from other dogs. ● For drop-in visits, I can provide 2-3 visits per day. While visiting, I will also clean up any pet related messes. *I can help with light housekeeping as well, but this would be a seperate service. Please inquire if you are interested*. ●House Sitting service is not a service that I always offer, but since it is Summer, I will be opening this service up. Please message me for scheduling. While house sitting, I will care for your pet(s) within the comfort of their own home. There, I can focus on keeping you pet healthy and happy; with frequent update picture and scheduled update messages; light housekeeping is included with this service. With frequent updates, you can start to feel more at ease while thinking of your pet(s) while on vacation, caring for family matters, or as you focus on buisness. I'm trying to save up for a new apartment. I want to move to a pet-friendly one, so this is for that saving fund. This also helps pay off some of my bills. I keep an eye on how much my pets are eating and when. Keeping a well planned schedule for feeding is my preference. As someone who enjoys being outside more than indoors, I make sure my own pets get enough fresh air and plenty of exercise.

About: I can address the unique requirements of large and small breed dogs. I provide specialized care for senior and advanced senior dogs, ensuring their golden years are comfortable and healthy. 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.
“Marc is excellent. He’s prompt, well prepared and has a great attitude. My active dog had a strong workout and can’t wait for her next walk with him. I highly recommend Marc as a responsible, conscientious and motivated walker.”
“Excellent! Mara is the real dog whisperer! And we’re so happy too with excellent communications, punctuality, and true interest in our pup’s welfare. Based on her observation, we made our subsequent appointments for Bearie’s walks to much earlier in the day due to harsh heat we’re having. We appreciate these concerns which speaks to “what’s best for Bearie” is Mara’s operative concern. Good job Miss Mara!”
About: I’ve been a pet owner for most of my life, so caring for animals comes naturally to me. I understand that every pet has a unique personality, routine, and way of feeling secure. I take time to get to know each pet so they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their family is away. Whether they enjoy gentle walks, playtime, quiet companionship, or extra cuddles, I will provide the dependable and attentive care they need. After recently saying goodbye to my beloved dog of 12 years, I am not quite ready to welcome another puppy of my own. Caring for other people’s pets has become an especially meaningful way for me to continue sharing my love for animals. I understand how deeply pets are cherished, and I will care for yours with the same tenderness and attention I would want for my own. Since I work from home, I’m available any day of the week and have plenty of time to give your pet the attention, companionship, and affection they deserve. I believe every pet is unique, so I take the time to earn their trust, follow their routine, and make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I care for every pet as if they were my own. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I follow your care instructions carefully, pay attention to each pet’s unique personality, and provide lots of love, patience, and companionship. I’ll also keep your home tidy and send regular updates so you always know how your furry family member is doing.
About: I’m a reliable, patient, and caring sitter who treats every pet like family. I’m comfortable with puppies, including potty training and basic routines, as well as senior pets who may need extra patience and care. I’m attentive to each pet’s personality, schedule, exercise needs, and comfort, and I always make sure they receive plenty of love, playtime, and attention while you’re away. work from home as a caregiver I'm home pretty most of the time which gives me lots of free time to take the dogs to the doggie park I live by one, go on walks, take them to the potty, give them baths, meals and lots of love and undivided attention and also treat if i allowed to provide loving, reliable care based on each pet’s routine and individual needs. I make sure they have fresh food and water, exercise, playtime, attention, and a safe, comfortable environment. I also keep owners updated with photos and messages so they can feel confident their pets are happy and well cared for.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs for at least 10 years, mostly with having my own. I know they are a big part of our families and how much we love and care for them. I am great with playing and cuddling and walking and absolutely love it. I currently work from home and so I have plenty of time to schedule dog walks, care and dog sits according to what is needed. I have a large green belt, that is very private. It is not fenced, but I have the ability to take the dogs out as much as needed. I also live in a very nice area where I have many trails and beautiful areas to walk.
About: I grew up on a farm in England with working dogs, which gave me a love for animals and led me to a life working professionally with them. After 32 years of running my own pet care business in Los Angeles, I relocated to the Coachella Valley where I continue to walk, exercise, and socialize dogs, while also working as a dog trainer. I'm available Monday thru Friday from 7am until 5pm, so we can work out walks and visits depending on your schedule and your dog's needs. Your dog will always be walked on leash, with the exception of fenced dog parks. Dogs can be crated during transport, if that makes them more comfortable. With my many years of experience, I know exactly how to work with dogs with a focus on the safety, calm, and happiness of the animal.
About: I absolutely love dogs and find each one unique with their own personality and quirks. I would be happy to walk your fur baby! I’ve learned a lot working at shelters and rescue missions. My schedule is open for anyone needing a dog walker or a simple drop in. I give you my best “YOU”when your away. I give finishing touches of fresh cold water, cool downs, water on our walks with a few high quality treats along our date! Your fur baby is my number one priority and attention while in my hands. I’ve earned my 5 stars and very thankful of them. My goal is wagging tails and happy pet parents! I’m open and never take on too many dogs to assure attention to your dog! It’s my full time job! Communication w/ pet parents is my number one requirement. Safety is equally important so with great communication very little can go wrong. I make sure your dog is as comfortable as my dog. If they don’t get along, there’s gates up and private suites. I put great effort to make sure everyone is safe and comfortable.

“Jackson continues to exceed our expectations! From the moment we dropped off our Dobies, we knew they were in great hands. He kept us updated with photos and messages throughout their stay, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was obvious they were having a great time, and they came home happy, relaxed, and well cared for.”
“Our 2 dogs stayed at Brandon’s overnight for the first time and it seemed to be such a great experience! He took them for walk, played with them and made them comfortable by letting them being themselves. He sent us detailed information about how things were going twice a day which made us feel that he was taking good care of our pups.”
“Helen was so loving and attentive to all Chewy's quirkiness. I felt so confident leaving him for an overnight stay. You can just sense the dog lover within her the first time you meet her. I will definitely call on her for both both short and longer stays.”
“Our now 16 month old doggy jumps out of the car every time we drop him off, and runs to Sierra's front door, never looking back to say goodbye to us! He thinks he's going to summer camp each time! He can't wait to get into the back yard and and run and play. It is so comforting to us knowing he loves being with Sierra. She takes the best care of him and always sends pics of him and his "campers" play and running in that wonderful back yard. Thank you, Sierra for taking such good care of our sweet boy!”
“Maggie took care of Frankie, our 1 year old AusieDoodle for a month. There were many trips to the dog park, and many playmates as well when Maggie took care of other dogs. Maggie even took her for a trim and bath at our request. Frankie came back to us healthy and happy. We are very pleased with the care Maggie gave Frankie and highly recommend Maggie to anyone who needs dog sitting services in the area.”
“Wow! What a great time Bee had with Brandon. He is obviously a big dog lover and gave our very young and energetic and, yes, mischievous pup full time attention. She came home so tired and calm. We got frequent communications so we never had to worry. We appreciate the flexibility and devotion shown by Brandon, and will definitely call on him next time we are in the Palm Springs area.”
“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.”

“My boys had a great time at Lauren's house! I have. Blind dog that often has GI problems when I pick him up.... Not while or after staying with Lauren! She's very accommodating and resourceful. If you are hesitant about leaving your pooch with strangers, give Lauren a try, you will not be disappointed!!! ”
“Jennifer took great care of my baby girl 🐶 (PomChi) while I was away for a few days for work. I got regular pictures and updates that let me know my baby was doing well. Will definitely be rebooking as my dog clearly enjoyed herself during her stay— Jennifer has a clean safe home and lovely dog Stella and I think my little girl made a friend! She was exhausted when we got home so I know she had a good time!”
“The day before drop off our dog seemed to be limping a bit so playtimes needed to be more gentle , we got pics and or videos daily , she was flexible with the times for drop off pick up and willing to meet in person before picking her. Our dog was not limping when we got him 4 days later and was doing much better, was clean and happy and would definately book again if we need help. Plus the price was affordable and reasonable”
About: Hi, I'm Sam, I have been a dogwalker/ pet sitter for more than 12 years. I'm a graduate of Dog Tech Academy and I'm also Pet CPR certified. I also volunteered. at SF Animal Control Center where I take care of all breeds of dogs. At the SF Animal Center I took classes in animal behavior, training and walking. I offer daytime walks around your neighborhood parks and in-house visits for your furry friends. I am also available for dog boarding or sittings at your place.. I live in Cathedral City and I have transportation so location can be flexible. References provided upon request. Thanks! Sam I currently have an open schedule so dogs that I take care of get my full attention. I also take one dog at a time, unless they are dogs that come from the same household. I have a large fenced yard and a gated front area so dogs are safe when they stay at my house. They are also welcome in every area of my home. I follow instructions provided by the pet owner when sitting at the dog's home.
“Mary is truly a godsend. My doggy boarding place shut down and I had never used to Rover app before. It took a minute from meeting Mary to know that I found the perfect person to watch and care for my fur-baby Gigi. She is great about updating with notes and photos of your dogs stay and I know after one stay that Mary is the best!”
“Just a wonderful experience from start to finish. Deena helped me out on ridiculously short notice and treated my dog as her own. A lovely home away from home for your pet!”
“Shayna was the best thing to happen to us while we were staying in Palm Desert. We're not from the area so didn't know anyone and needed someone to look after our little girl, Luna. We hadn't left her before at a stranger's house so this was especially nerve-racking for us. However our experience with Shayna couldn't have been more different to our fears. She is kind, listens and went out of her way to fit her life around Luna. She kept us updated, sent photos and is a great communicator, replying throughout the day, whenever we messaged. She put our minds at ease so we could enjoy our trip. She is a really good person and even better company for Luna. We could tell Luna had a great time and felt comfortable and at home when we picked her up. She definitely missed Shayna after we left and really hope she can see her again. If you have reservations or are nervous about trusting someone with your fur baby, please book Shayna.”
