“Our dog, Frizzle, seemed to have a great stay! It was clear that Lacey cares very much about the dogs in her care. We would definitely have Frizzle stay with Lacey on our next trip out to Joshua Tree!”
About: I have lived all my life in the South Bay. I went to school in Rolling Hills, I went to College in Long Beach. I have worked in the Aerospace industry since the 1980's. In 2012 rescued a Pitbull from a abusive life. So I immersed myself in learning the Dog Whispers' training methods. I have had a dog ever since my third birthday. I have worked with Dachshunds, Schnauzer Terriers, Golden Retrievers, Pitbull's, Poodles, Shih Tzu, and Beagles. I believe all dogs have been given to mankind to show us how to live life. Unconditional love, live in the moment, don't worry and greet everyone with excitement and love. In conclusion, I will always treat you family member as my own and love taking care of them. I am retired so I am very flexible. I currently Walk dogs for elderly people at the Apache Mobile Home park. I am looking to expanding my services outside the park. I have fenced yard and my home is open to the dogs I care for and I have water and treats available. Your pets are welcomed to my couches and dog beds or pet cage.
“I cannot say enough good things about Alice. Truly. She went so far above and beyond with my dog. She sent me photos and videos every day and my dog. Ocho was so happy with her. I’m not sure he really wanted to come home to be honest. That said, she bathed him the day I picked him up, He came home a better dog than when I dropped him off. Don’t get me wrong, he was a fine dog at drop off. But being with Alice and her dogs helped him to grow up, and she even trained him with a few new commands. She has natural mesquite sticks for the dogs to chew on, got them extra toys, you name it she is a dream. If you want to not only not worry about your dog, but know that your dog is having a joyous and loving wonderful experience, Alice should be your choice. I drove away with my dog, wanting to travel more so that he could spend more time there. I don’t think there’s any higher praise than that.”
“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!”
“Johna is amazing! She is now our go-to sitter for Cosmo. We can tell he really enjoys himself there, especially when he's playing with the other doggies in her big fenced-in backyard. We love all the sweet photos and captions Johna sends us while she's watching him, also! :)”
“Dropped my dog off for the week for a Disney trip I was last minute but they were able to accommodate him still they were great with him and made sure he had plenty of time to play and hangout with the other dogs and kids and made sure to send pictures and keep me updated on the trip. I 1000% recommend them for any trips as they truly know how to take care of your pet like it’s there own.”
“Ari, Alice’s daughter, was great! Very communicative and worked with us to make sure our dog Possum took his meds. He came back happy and healthy!! Would definitely have them watch him again next time we come to town.”
“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.”
“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 absolutely loved Nina!! Her expertise and knowledge around dogs really showed, and made us feel so comfortable and confident leave our dog with her. Highly recommend!!”
“Mo is an absolutely wonderful dog sitter. I received frequent updates throughout the day and I always felt my pup Winslow was in caring patient hands! He is a pretty anxious dog and Mo helped me feel at ease with communication and so many adorable photos. Cannot recommend enough!”
“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.”
“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 :)”
About: I’ve grown up with both dogs and cats, and have been a huge animal lover my whole life. I’ve always been a sitter for friends and family in need and figured I might as well expand my services. I have a big home and yard, with plenty of grass and room to run. Our home is very pet friendly, and they pretty much are free to roam as they please. My husband and I keep the home clean, but cozy. We have kids, cats, and dogs and everyone gets along. We keep the upstairs blocked off so the cats have their own space to play and relax. There are tile floors for a cool place to nap, dog beds, cat trees, and plenty of toys. I’m a nurse and CPR certified, so your fur baby is safe with me. I only ask that your pet is friendly, and if you have a dog that they are a minimal barker as we like to keep our neighbors happy. I can help with potty training, bathing, and medicines too…whatever your pet needs. All you need to provide is your pets favorite food. I’ll take care of the rest. I work part time as a nurse, usually during the nights and my husband is a stay at home dad. I have plenty of time and energy to devote to your fur baby. I have a large home and yard with plenty of grass. There are also several dog parks within our community for your fur baby to play.

“Emily did a fantastic job taking care of Frank and Pancho while I was away. She kept everything very clean and the cats clearly loved her, judging by the photos and videos she sent daily. Will be using her services in the future!”
“Katie is an awesome caretaker! She set up a meet and greet right away, and was kind and attentive to our two older dogs, one of whom is blind and needs extra assistance and love. We were super grateful she was able to accept our emergency request for drop-in visits, and we will certainly invite her back again next time we need a sitter. Thank you so much!”
“Liz is the best, and our kitty is always in good hands! She always goes beyond the call of duty to ensure our kitty and home are in good hands! Can't recommend her enough.”
About: Hey there! I'd love the opportunity to care for your pets while you're away or take them out when you're too busy.

I love getting to know individual animals and catering to their personalities and needs. Medication, special needs, senior pets ok!
“Juliann was great! She kept my house in perfect shape and took such thoughtful care of my little rascal of a cat as well as allthe outdoor critters I feed. I came home to a happy pet and everything just as I left it. I felt totally at ease knowing she was here. Highly recommend!”
“Thank you Caroline for doing a great job taking care of our cats! It is obvious that you have a genuine love for these precious fur babies by how they warm up to you and trust you!”
“We were in Joshua Tree for a few days. LeeAnn was punctual, flexible with our changing schedule and, most importantly, was great with our shy dog. We appreciate her willingness to work with us!”
“Larissa was very professional, consistent, and thorough. Not a moments hesitation would there be to hire her again. Her communication was superb, as was her overall pet care and attention to detail. And I could tell from all the photos of my Kitty… that she agreed wholeheartedly, as well. A very happy little girl!”
“I absolutely loved Salina and would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone. Even when she had a hiccup in her schedule, she let me know right away, we worked it out, and she always made me feel like I had the best caretaker for my lil beebs. Heck yes and please book her!!”

I’m attentive to their unique needs, whether it’s administering medication, maintaining a routine, or simply providing companionship. I also keep their environment clean and safe, giving you peace of mind while you’re away. Your pets are not just animals; they’re family, and I’ll treat them with the love and care they deserve!
About: I understand a cat likes to decide what level of interest it likes. The cat gets to decide if it wishes for anything more than food and safety. But if the kitty purrs, we will be fast friends. My cat has taught me the way,😊

“Johna was super easy to contact, very responsive and a lovely person. she took the stress put of our trip allowing us to enjoy Joshua Tree. plenty of pictures were shared. Thank you Johna!!”
“Very thankful to Juliann for taking great care of our dog while we went into the park for the day. We would definitely return if we come back to the area! Thanks, Juliann!”
“We had a very nice experience with Lacey. She took care of our 1 year old dog for 2 days. Our dog seemed to have had a great time and was happy to go there the second day. Lacey also shared lot of pictures of him during his stay.”
“Elizabeth is awesome! She put up with my lack of schedule clarity with grace, and was super great with my mini dachshund who spent two days with her and her dogs when my group finally got organized. She was super communicative, clearly loves and understands dogs, has a great, safe and fenced yard, and was -in short- everything I hoped for and needed to pull off our Joshua Tree NP adventure. I recommend her unequivocally, and would ask her help again anytime I am in the area with my dog.”

“Salina and her family were amazing. They were available pretty last minute for us and we’re super grateful for that. They were so easygoing and friendly throughout the whole process and they took great care of our big energetic boy. They’re local for us and are going to be our go to when we’re looking for a sitter or overnight care in the future.”
About: Hey I’m Nat! I have 2 pups of my own, a poodle mix and a Dalmatian/Great Dane :) I’ve also taken care of my friends and families pets including puppies, a kitten and some aquatic turtles and fish while they traveled!! Im self employed so i work on my own schedule from home!! Gives me lots of free time to take your pups on walks and/or care for them in my home. I have a fenced yard and both my pups are socialized/ crate trained as well as having different parts of my home closed off so I’d be able to keep your pup safe depending on their needs whether they do best without other pups or are social and wanna play.
“I dropped my crazy 8 month old puppy off with Grey for the day while we explored non-friendly parts of Joshua Tree NP. It was so nice to let my puppy off leash and let her play with Billow! And I had Grey drop my pup off which was super helpful. I forgot to pack dinner for my pup and Grey fed her and sent her with extra food. You can tell that she really cares about the wellbeing of the dogs she cares for <3 Highly recommend! Your dog is in good hands with Grey and her dog crew! Highly recommend”

About: I have an overwhelming amount of experience when it comes to care for dogs. I was adamant, at a very young age, about volunteering at as many local shelters as possible. I also have never not had a dog in my care. I grew up in a home made extra warm by 5 schnauzers and even into my adult years I've owned my own dog, all rescues. A few I rehabilitated after they were neglected or abused. Dogs truly are a huge part of my life and I don't believe I'd be the same individual without them. Let me put it this way, I am the female Tom Hardy of Dogs haha! I work from home and so I am accessible to my pets and yours at all times! I’m also a very active individual. I like to hit the park or anywhere near a pond to take a jog or a walk(dependent on the weather of course). I have a fenced in dog run area for my pets and yours! Water is always accessible indoors and outdoors! Pets are also able to roam the house freely, and are worked with regularly with treats and praise!
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.
“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.”
“Lauren was wonderful! She was our pup’s first Rover sitter. She was very friendly and put us all at ease. She communicated well with us. We would definitely call on her again for future dog sitting needs!”
About: I’ve cared for dogs for the last 40 years—my own & others. I’m great with energetic dogs. Have also taken care of cats & birds & donkeys. I’m an author working on my second book, so my time is flexible. I have two dogs of my own but they don’t mind if I hang out with other animals. I have two dogs of my own—one from New York, the other a desert dog—so I understand the unique challenges of taking care of all types of dogs in this environment.
“Megan was very sweet and accommodating! Her home was the perfect set up for my big pup with lots of land to roam. Would leave my Riley with her again next time I’m in the Desert and need assistance!”
“Awesome day sitter for my high energy baby! Leighton clearly loves animals and takes good care of them. She updated me throughout the day so I felt at ease with a new sitter. Pip was definitely pooped when she got home!”

About: As a mom and dog owner myself, I am sensitive to the needs and feelings of animals as they are just like kids. I have taken care of animals my entire life, from small dogs, big dogs, territorial dogs, horses, cats, and a bunch of other creatures. We even have our own animal CBD line on the market for dogs in pain or with ptsd. I’m active, love to walk, believe in positive reinforcement. We have a perfect yard for animals to safely play and a large home with a loving family to make your loved one feel safe when they are missing their people. My dog friends end up calling me Auntie Sal as we take them in as family. I’m currently flexible and have the ability for same day walks, last minute trips and pop ins. I can work with your schedule most days. My husband is my tag team back as well. I have two fences in yards one for running and the other for safe play. I never leave them unattended. We are happy to follow your lead on crate training if desired. We provide toys and treats if you approve. We love park walks and have 2.5 acres to explore. We have the ability to keep dogs separate from ours if needed.
“We are obsessed with Katie and so are our pups! One of our dogs has barked at every single person who has ever stepped foot in our house, everyone except Katie! And we tend to have a ton of guests, our minds were blown. We’ve met with Katie twice now, and each time she has been very intuitive, attentive, knowledgeable and”

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.
About: I have helped professionals in the veterinary field groom and train animals. I have also been pet sitting for family and have had many pets throughout my life! I am currently a part-time student at Copper Mountain College, and work weekends at Hi-Desert Tails. I have a bit of free time as I have online classes! I will have to schedule pet care around my work, but I’m very flexible outside of that! I will be able to play with and take care of any dogs or cats, no matter the size or energy level! I can also easily crate if needed. Please let me know if there are cameras inside the home, and give written instructions so I don’t forget any details!

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!

I respect the clients home, boundaries, and rules with their pets. Everybody has their own beliefs about how to care for their pet and I believe as a sitter my biggest responsibility after the pets safety is to respect those beliefs.
About: I’m a reliable, caring pet sitter who keeps routines consistent, provides personalized attention, ensures pets feel safe and comfortable, and gives plenty of love, playtime, and companionship. Pet care is part of my daily routine. I have two cats myself, so I prioritize consistent visits, feeding, walks, and attention to keep pets comfortable and safe. While I am not offering boarding or day care at my own home at this time, I am quite responsible in my treatment of other people's property while caring for their pets. I can follow directions, keep gates closed, and follow safety protocols.

About: Hello! My name is Sam. I love dogs of all breeds and sizes. I have watched and taken care of dogs for many years. My husband and I have a Australian Red healer named Arturo and he also loves other dogs but if yours doesn't that totally ok! I would love to come walk them around the neighborhood, watch them for the night or weekend or just check up and feed them if needed. I am available and in Yucca Valley but able to travel to other nearby cities. I am a student and working freelance right now so I have a lot of time to be flexible right now. I can do weekdays or weekends. I would take special care when someones home and to leave it as I found it if not better. If at my place, I am a very neat and clean person and my dog has a good sized yard to have plenty of space if it was to be shared.
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: I have a wide variety of experience. Fostering shelter animals, caring for day old baby kittens. I've had ferrets and most everything else. Except I'm not fond of snakes. Anything furry please. I'm currently working part-time. Generally in the evenings. I can come by for care anytime before 3pm and be back around if needed by 10pm most nights I have great respect for other people's area. I am considerate, clean and honor privacy. I will leave the area better then when I arrived.

“Our dog, Frizzle, seemed to have a great stay! It was clear that Lacey cares very much about the dogs in her care. We would definitely have Frizzle stay with Lacey on our next trip out to Joshua Tree!”
About: I have lived all my life in the South Bay. I went to school in Rolling Hills, I went to College in Long Beach. I have worked in the Aerospace industry since the 1980's. In 2012 rescued a Pitbull from a abusive life. So I immersed myself in learning the Dog Whispers' training methods. I have had a dog ever since my third birthday. I have worked with Dachshunds, Schnauzer Terriers, Golden Retrievers, Pitbull's, Poodles, Shih Tzu, and Beagles. I believe all dogs have been given to mankind to show us how to live life. Unconditional love, live in the moment, don't worry and greet everyone with excitement and love. In conclusion, I will always treat you family member as my own and love taking care of them. I am retired so I am very flexible. I currently Walk dogs for elderly people at the Apache Mobile Home park. I am looking to expanding my services outside the park. I have fenced yard and my home is open to the dogs I care for and I have water and treats available. Your pets are welcomed to my couches and dog beds or pet cage.
“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!”
“Dropped my dog off for the week for a Disney trip I was last minute but they were able to accommodate him still they were great with him and made sure he had plenty of time to play and hangout with the other dogs and kids and made sure to send pictures and keep me updated on the trip. I 1000% recommend them for any trips as they truly know how to take care of your pet like it’s there own.”
“Ari, Alice’s daughter, was great! Very communicative and worked with us to make sure our dog Possum took his meds. He came back happy and healthy!! Would definitely have them watch him again next time we come to town.”
“We absolutely loved Nina!! Her expertise and knowledge around dogs really showed, and made us feel so comfortable and confident leave our dog with her. Highly recommend!!”
“Mo is an absolutely wonderful dog sitter. I received frequent updates throughout the day and I always felt my pup Winslow was in caring patient hands! He is a pretty anxious dog and Mo helped me feel at ease with communication and so many adorable photos. Cannot recommend enough!”
“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.”
“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 :)”
About: I’ve grown up with both dogs and cats, and have been a huge animal lover my whole life. I’ve always been a sitter for friends and family in need and figured I might as well expand my services. I have a big home and yard, with plenty of grass and room to run. Our home is very pet friendly, and they pretty much are free to roam as they please. My husband and I keep the home clean, but cozy. We have kids, cats, and dogs and everyone gets along. We keep the upstairs blocked off so the cats have their own space to play and relax. There are tile floors for a cool place to nap, dog beds, cat trees, and plenty of toys. I’m a nurse and CPR certified, so your fur baby is safe with me. I only ask that your pet is friendly, and if you have a dog that they are a minimal barker as we like to keep our neighbors happy. I can help with potty training, bathing, and medicines too…whatever your pet needs. All you need to provide is your pets favorite food. I’ll take care of the rest. I work part time as a nurse, usually during the nights and my husband is a stay at home dad. I have plenty of time and energy to devote to your fur baby. I have a large home and yard with plenty of grass. There are also several dog parks within our community for your fur baby to play.
“Grey was wonderful with Alfie. From the start she was super friendly and easy to communicate with, and she kept us updated with photos, which really put us at ease. Alfie looked so comfortable and happy with her. She seems like a genuinely kind person who loves animals, and we felt really lucky to have found her. We’d absolutely recommend Grey to anyone looking for someone caring and trustworthy looking after their fur babies : )”
“Mary and Hugh treat all dogs like they are family members. I know my Koda is loved when he stays with them. Koda and I are blessed to have Hugh and Mary in our lives.”
