“Lacey was fantastic! She took amazing care of our golden retriever and we look forward to using her services again. We received constant photo updates and she was communicative, reliable and made the entire process so easy. Thank you!”
“Elizabeth was very kind and accommodating to our medium sized dog for two nights while we visited Yucca Valley and Joshua Tree National Park. Her property has plenty of outdoor space and is well-fenced in and secure. She was a generous caretaker for our pup, and we will certainly keep her in mind for our future trips to the area. Thank you!”
“Very pleased with Nuvea. Did a great job communicating, including updates and photosduring the boarding. Explained how she would transition my dog into her home with her drugs and cat. Would definitely rebook.”
“Felice was so attentive and loving to our two dogs. She went above and beyond and even gave them baths and brushed them. She checked in daily and sent pictures. The dogs had a great fenced in yard to roam and play. We couldn’t be happier with Felice, she was top notch!! Would definitely recommend her to anyone need a pet sitter.”
“Juliann has a nice little boarding facility in her home. Juli took great care of my special needs dog (blind, neurological issues) while she was there. Juliann has the ability to keep her dogs separated from the boarding dogs or to integrate them depending on needs.”
“Hugh and Mary are the best! They took such good care of our dog while we were away. I appreciated the communication and photos I received from them, assuring us he was having a great time! I would definitely recommend them and plan on booking them for his next vacation (cuz that’s how it felt, like he was getting a vacation too) They are dog lovers and it showed in how they treated him🥰”
“Louella was an incredible dog sitter. I am so grateful I chose her to take care of my dog Merlin. I was gone for 3 nights and I’ve never been away fe him that long before. She was in consistent communication and sent some of the best pics of him I have ever seen. He was clearly a very happy boy! It was basically like he was on a vacation and I can’t help but feel he was a little disappointed when it was time to go. I can’t recommend Louella enough!”
“This was the best experience. Sam was caring and professional and my dog kept kissing him when she left. If your looking for a pet sitter in Palm Springs go no further. I received constant emails, photos and videos of my happy young dog.”
“Alan & Joe are great pet sitters. We did a meet & greet and then I left my dog with them over a long weekend. My dog was very happy with them and I appreciated the daily pictures. They communicated quickly and effectively as well. I highly recommend Alan & Joe and would definitely use them 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!!”
“My dogs loved hanging out at Shawna’s! We were in town visiting from the east coast for a friend’s wedding. Shawna helped me out by watching Maeby and Merle overnight while I was attending the wedding. It was their first ever sleepover without me, so I was a little nervous. Shawna made me feel at ease by discussing expectations before the trip. Once I dropped the dogs off at Shawna’s I knew they were in great hands! Her space is so dog friendly and spacious. She updated us with videos and photos and even gave us the cutest hand written doggy report card afterwards! I would definitely bring my dogs there again next time I am in town! Thanks again Shawna :)”
“Attentive, caring, and communicative. Kisses loved her stay and in fat for the first time she ate her food the entire stay. I cannot say enough about the treatment that she received with Elizabeth. You are a rockstar and we will be back.”
“Jazmyn took great care of our doggies. She kept us updated on how they were doing. The bonus part having them stay there with her is she has two beautiful friendly doggies. They all had a great time with their new friends. Definitely will have Jazmyn watch them again!!”
“Viviana and her husband were the kindest and perfect dog watchers. Their home is very cute and you know from meeting them once that your dogs are in good hands. Good communication and ease throughout. 10/10 recommend.”
“April took care of my dog Leo for almost two weeks. She sent updates of Leo playing and being so happy! When I picked Leo up, I could tell he didn’t want to leave. Thank you April for taking such good care of my pup when we were gone :)”
“5 outta 5 barks! My little one has since stayed twice with Dana and what a wonderful fit! My girl comes back happy, healthy, tired and most importantly clean. So happy to have found her”

“Diana looked after our kitties when we went out of town. She made sure they had food and water, cleaned their litter boxes, loved on them, and helped take care of the house when our mini ac unit was leaking. She did more than was required of a pet sitter ❤️”
“Larissa was amazing, caring and loving with our kitties and our house. She was very responsive, friendly and made sure to send photos and give a report every time she went. We’ll definitely ask her to come back when we need kitty sitting in the future!”
“Caroline has clearly made a new friend with Sonny the cat. I came home to a cat that was calm and well adjusted because he had company he obviously liked! Caroline has also taken wonderful care of all the other things that Sonny needs that include food and water that the cat just takes for granted because he is a cat after all!”

“I’m so happy I found BReN to watch my kitty and home for a few days while we were out of town. I received daily pictures of a happy kitty and came home to a house that looked just as clean or cleaner than I had left it. I feel so confortable with BReN that I’m about to book her for my next trip.”
“Elizabeth checked on our kitty Dottie, and though she is shy and hid the entire time, sent us updates and was very communicative. We will definitely have her over to check on her again...hopefully this time Dottie will peek her head out! Thanks Elizabeth!!”
“Carol was such a great communicator and sent us photos every day. She treated our shy cat with lots of respect and gave the outgoing one a ton of play time and attention. She was prompt every day and cleaned up the treat dishes and the litter boxes despite how messy my cats are. Absolutely will be booking Carol in the future to take care of my fur babies!”

“April is awesome!! I was very nervous to leave my pets as one cat is very shy. But not with her! She also managed around a difficult household member. Right away my kitties took to her and I had peace my entire time away. I will definitely be using her services again!!”
About: I had a wonderful Husky growing up, He was always bursting with energy and personality, eager to run, explore, and snuggle up next to me whenever the day ended. Having him around taught me responsibility, patience, and just how strong the bond between a person and a dog can be. After high school, I adopted a Rottweiler of my own. Raising him from a young age helped me understand training, structure, and daily care better. Soon after, my mom needed some help with her cat, so I welcomed him into my home. For a while, I had both a dog and a cat living together—learning to balance their different personalities, needs, and routines. Later, when my husband and I moved into our own place, we added another furry family member—a sweet Corgi who joined us about two years later. Each pet has brought something special into my life and has helped me grow as a caregiver. I’ve gained hands-on experience with both dogs and cats—from energetic working breeds to loyal guardians and independent, affectionate cats. Caring for them isn’t just about feeding and walks—it’s about building trust, comfort, and a little friendship along the way. Pet sitting fits naturally into my routine since I work part-time with very flexible hours. I’m able to plan my schedule around visits, walks, and check-ins, whether they’re early mornings, midday, or evenings. Because I manage my own time, I can give pets consistent attention, unrushed care, and plenty of love throughout the week. I care for pets in my home and yours with the same level of love, patience, and attention I give my own. In my home, I create a calm, safe, and cozy environment where they can relax, play, and feel like part of the family. I adhere strictly to their regular routines—feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and bedtime habits—to ensure their security and comfort. In your home, I respect their space and maintain their familiar routine to minimize stress. I move at their pace, especially with shy or anxious pets, building trust through gentle interactions, consistency, and positive reinforcement. Whether it’s energetic playtime or quiet cuddles, I prioritize making each pet feel safe, understood, and truly cared for.
About: Hello! I would love to welcome your pet into my home. I live in a very safe neighborhood right next to 49 Palms Oasis in 29. I have a very large yard with lots of open space to run and play. The fence is 6ft tall, so hard to jump over. I have a 15 year old fixed female lab mix, Bella. She gets along with other dogs but mostly keeps to herself and isn’t interested in playing. I also have a 7 year old beagle lab mix, male, also fixed, Winston. Winston LOVES to play but also recognizes when someone does not. I work locally and my day is flexible which allows for many potty breaks and time outside. My family lives local so I rarely go out of town. I am more than happy to meet with you and your pet ahead of time as well. Hello! I would love to welcome your pet into my home. I live in a very safe neighborhood right next to 49 Palms Oasis in 29.

“We stayed in Yucca for spring break and we had a few days planned with activities that required doggy day care (zoo and JT national park). I am so glad that we found Juliann. Pickles was so excited every morning when we dropped her off. she got a lot of play time and attention. Juliann checked in with us during the day to update how she was doing and sent pictures. We would definitely recommend her for pet care and will use her again the next time we visit. 😊”
“This is our second year having our pup stay with Hugh and Mary. She loves coming to visit them and doesn’t even look back at me when I leave because she’s so excited to hang out with them and play with the other dogs. Hugh and Mary always send pictures and updates which is really appreciated. Wish we had them here in LA!”
“Thank you for watching Nala! It’s tough leaving our old pup with strangers but she seemed very comfortable with Geraldine for the time being. Her place was a fun little getaway for our pup as well as it had big open yards and turf.”
“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!”
“Amazing! She was very flexible with our time schedule requests and loved on our pupper. I would definitely use again and would recommend to others in the area. She lives in an easy proximity to J Tree as well.”
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I highly recommend Savannah! She took great care of my Yorkie and treated him like he was her own. She was reliable, caring, and made sure he was comfortable and happy while I was away. It gave me peace of mind knowing my dog was in good hands. I would definitely use her services again!”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities for over 6 years. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to feed, walk, play with, and check in on their pets while they’re away. I’m patient, responsible, and love making pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I also have experience with energetic dogs and keeping pets on their regular routines. I have a flexible schedule and make pet care a priority in my daily routine. I’m available for check-ins, walks, feeding, playtime, and overnight care depending on your pet’s needs. I always make sure pets get plenty of attention, exercise, and care while their owners are away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I carefully follow feeding schedules, medication instructions, and any routines your pet is used to. I make sure pets feel safe, loved, and stress-free in their own environment while keeping owners updated with messages and photos.
“This was our first trip to Marinee & family..what a find!! Lovely people, kind and caring!! Do to a funeral we needed someone fast to take care of our Lola, boy did we luck out!! Her husband even carried Lola to the car d/t a little rain on the ground! Definitely will return!!”
“What a wonderful experience with Alfonso being there at the last minute to help with my dogs while at Joshua Tree. He was a great caretaker, very kind and great with my girls. I will definitely recommend Alfonso and request his help in the future! 5 stars.”
“Although my daughter's service dog goes with us everywhere, we decided it was best to leave him in capable hands while we enjoyed a tip to the Living Desert near Palm Springs, CA. Nuvea was available last minute to care for Huckleberry in her home. He enjoyed a play date with a few fellow canines and a cat. Nuvea was able to accommodate treat time and dinner for him and excursions in her backyard. When we returned Huckleberry was happy and ready to resume his care for his girl. We were pleased he had a safe and cool home to rest in while in our absence. I highly recommend Nuvea and her happy pup safe home for care.”
“Luz was very accommodating and very good with communication. Her property was very lovely and my dog. Bodie was very happy. I could tell with a big smile on his face! The pictures that she sent me during his stay were very thoughtful.”
“We used Carter’s services for doggy daycare and we couldn’t be more pleased. We came to the desert for our anniversary and needed care for our 3 year old Penny and 5 month old Jack. Carter was quick to respond to my inquiry, he had availability on short notice, his place was super clean and most important Penny and Jack had a blast! He sent several videos of our pups playing which put me at ease seeing them have fun while we were away on our all day hiking Mt. San Jacinto. I would definitely recommend Carter to anyone looking for doggy day care, boarding or any other doggy service. We will use him again when we are in the area. He has lots of experience and understands how to care for all breeds with different personalities and needs. Thanks for everything, 5 stars all the way!”
“My dog honey had the best time with Osamu and Darrell! I felt at ease from the minute I dropped him off until I picked him up. I could just tell how loving and caring they both were with him. Thank you both so much!”
“It was a pleasure meeting with Carl, He got good care of my pup and have a lovely house. I will ask Carl for help again when I’m back here for mineral spirits water. Thank you Carl!”
“Thnks again Alex for taking such great care of my lil Hershey girl. She appeared to be very happy when I picked her up. Looking forward to another meet soon. BTW, I did receive her treats🐶🥰”
“Viviana and her family are amazing. They took such fantastic care of my boy. Since he is a special needs dog, it takes someone special to give him the care he needs. Viviana did a fantastic job. I think he wanted to stay with her more than coming back home with me lol! I will be coming back to Viviana whenever my boy needs boarding or other care. Thank you!”
“Jon with Doggie Zen Resort was fantastic with my dog, Jade. He truly understands dog behavior and keeps all his doggie boarders safe and manages their needs based on their personalities. His home is best suited for trained, well-balanced dogs.”
“Caesar is very knowledgeable about dogs and is even a dog trainer. He gave me great tips for my pup and I know she was in great hands in his care. I'm sure I'll be back in Big Bear and I'll know who to contact!”

And can, of course, provide you with some great photos to put your mind at ease while you're away from your fur babies! I am very active and love a good walk or hike.

About: I have had larger dogs my entire life and have pet sat for family for about 4 years. I love animals and am willing to work with dogs who may need extra help!

My schedule is never really set in stone so I’m very flexible . I am also able to do same day sometimes depending on what I have going on that day! I will not just be checking in on your pet ! If I come in and happen to see your pet had an accident. I will let you know and I will also clean it up for you! I will follow every request that you have whether you have a fenced in yard or you prefer the dog to be walked with the leash! As far as cats, I am very aware that they do like to run out so I always make sure to squeeze in and out of the door very carefully to make sure none of your pets escape! I take a detailed note of how you like things being done and the time as well to not change your pets schedule too much from the norm. I will take picture documentation if needed and make sure they get fed the correct amount and the way they like it as we know some pets like their food prepped a certain way! This is your baby. I will make sure that they feel loved and safe with me.
About: I am a Spanish speaker and communicate in English using a translator app to ensure clear and accurate communication. I genuinely love caring for pets, enjoy spending time playing and relaxing with them, and carefully follow all written instructions to keep pets safe, comfortable, and happy. Pet care fits very naturally into my routine. For now, I am dedicating my time exclusively to Rover, so I’m available throughout the week except on Sundays. When I provide overnight care, it is not a full 24-hour stay; my hours are from 8 AM to 8 PM. I make sure each pet receives plenty of attention, comfort, and consistency during the time they are with me. When caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I always focus on safety, comfort, and consistency. I play with them indoors and in the yard if there is one available. I make sure they receive their food on schedule, and if they need any medication, I administer it exactly according to the owner’s instructions. I also take them for walks around the neighborhood and keep them engaged with the games or activities they already know and enjoy. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, entertained, and well cared for at all times.
About: I understand that your pet is family, and I care for every dog with the same attention, responsibility, and respect I would my own. I’m dependable, trustworthy, and mindful of every detail to ensure your pet is safe, comfortable, and well cared for. My goal is to give you complete peace of mind while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to be reliable, punctual, and give each pet the time and attention they deserve. I genuinely enjoy being outdoors and spending time with dogs, so making sure they’re safe, comfortable, and well cared for is something I prioritize every day.

About: I have more than 10 years of experience caring for dogs and cats, including senior pets, special-needs animals, and medically complex pets. Most recently, I worked at a no-kill animal shelter in Southern California, where I worked with animals of different ages, personalities, and energy levels. I gained experience with recently surrendered pets, shy animals, senior pets, and animals adjusting to new environments. I also cared for my own diabetic dog, Tater, for three years, including twice-daily insulin injections and careful monitoring of his health and routine. That experience taught me how important consistency, observation, and patience are when caring for animals. I am comfortable administering medications, following detailed care instructions, and maintaining established routines. I work especially well with senior pets, anxious animals, and pets that need a calm, patient approach. As both a longtime pet owner and homeowner, I understand the trust people place in someone caring for their animals and home. My goal is simple: to keep your pets safe, comfortable, and happy while you're away. I work remotely as a technical writer, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to spend significant time at home with the pets in my care. This flexibility makes it easy for me to maintain feeding schedules, provide walks, administer medications if needed, and give pets the companionship and attention they are accustomed to receiving. I enjoy having animals around while I work and appreciate the comfort that a consistent, calm routine provides for them. I care for pets in their own homes whenever possible because familiar surroundings, routines, and schedules help reduce stress while their owners are away. Before each booking, I take time to learn about your pet's normal routine, feeding schedule, exercise needs, medications, favorite activities, and any behavioral or medical concerns. I follow care instructions carefully and provide regular updates so owners know their pets are safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I pay close attention to changes in behavior, appetite, energy level, or overall well-being and will communicate any concerns promptly. My goal is to maintain your pet's normal routine as closely as possible while providing a calm, safe, and dependable presence in your home.

“Hugh and Mary are the best! They took such good care of our dog while we were away. I appreciated the communication and photos I received from them, assuring us he was having a great time! I would definitely recommend them and plan on booking them for his next vacation (cuz that’s how it felt, like he was getting a vacation too) They are dog lovers and it showed in how they treated him🥰”
“Alan & Joe are great pet sitters. We did a meet & greet and then I left my dog with them over a long weekend. My dog was very happy with them and I appreciated the daily pictures. They communicated quickly and effectively as well. I highly recommend Alan & Joe and would definitely use them again!”
“My dogs loved hanging out at Shawna’s! We were in town visiting from the east coast for a friend’s wedding. Shawna helped me out by watching Maeby and Merle overnight while I was attending the wedding. It was their first ever sleepover without me, so I was a little nervous. Shawna made me feel at ease by discussing expectations before the trip. Once I dropped the dogs off at Shawna’s I knew they were in great hands! Her space is so dog friendly and spacious. She updated us with videos and photos and even gave us the cutest hand written doggy report card afterwards! I would definitely bring my dogs there again next time I am in town! Thanks again Shawna :)”
“Attentive, caring, and communicative. Kisses loved her stay and in fat for the first time she ate her food the entire stay. I cannot say enough about the treatment that she received with Elizabeth. You are a rockstar and we will be back.”
“Jazmyn took great care of our doggies. She kept us updated on how they were doing. The bonus part having them stay there with her is she has two beautiful friendly doggies. They all had a great time with their new friends. Definitely will have Jazmyn watch them again!!”
“Viviana and her husband were the kindest and perfect dog watchers. Their home is very cute and you know from meeting them once that your dogs are in good hands. Good communication and ease throughout. 10/10 recommend.”
“5 outta 5 barks! My little one has since stayed twice with Dana and what a wonderful fit! My girl comes back happy, healthy, tired and most importantly clean. So happy to have found her”
“We are incredibly grateful for the wonderful care Tony provided for our crazy puppy. From the moment we met him, we felt at ease and we knew our dog would be in great hands. He provided frequent updates, ensured our dog got plenty of exercise and affection, and even went the extra mile to accommodate any special needs. We felt at ease knowing our puppy was in such capable and loving hands. We highly recommend Tony to anyone seeking top-notch care for their pet and will definitely use him again if we’re in the area!!!”
“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!”
“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.”
“Alfonso was such a fantastic Rover - if i could give him more stars, I would! He was super communicative and his dog Phife couldn't have been a better new dog friend. Super sweet, playful and gentle. I will absolutely be booking Alfonso again. 10/10 recommend!”
“I couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter for my Doberman puppy! Marinee has so much experience with Dobermans, and it really shows. It was comforting to know my Ruby was in the hands of someone who understands the breed’s unique energy and needs. Marinee treated my Ruby like one of their own, providing plenty of exercise, playtime, and care. The updates and photos they sent were a bonus and showed just how happy and well cared for my pup was. I highly recommend Marinee to anyone looking for a reliable and knowledgeable sitter, especially for Doberman owners. I’ll definitely be booking again!”
