I will 100% be booking dog sitting with Lacey again! She’s so great!!!! Thank you again!!”
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 cannot say enough good things about my experience with Alice! From the moment I dropped off Zoe, I knew she was in great hands. Alice went above and beyond to make sure she was comfortable and happy throughout the stay. The communication was excellent—Alice sent regular updates and photos, which really put my mind at ease. Not only did Alice provide a safe and clean environment, but she also took the time to give Zoe plenty of attention, exercise, and affection. Zoe came home relaxed, happy, and well taken care of—it’s clear that Alice genuinely loves animals and knows how to care for them. If you’re looking for a trustworthy, caring, and professional dog boarder, I highly recommend Alice. I will definitely be booking with her again in the future!”
“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!”
“We left our dog Jade with Taura, and honestly, we weren’t sure she’d want to come back home — she had that good of a time! From the start, it was clear how kind, attentive, and genuinely loving Taura is with all dogs. Jade is usually pretty reserved, but she warmed up right away and looked so happy in all the updates we got! We could tell she was in great hands — getting tons of attention, and a peaceful, caring environment. Taura was extremely accommodating with us and is a very caring person!”
“We loved Johna. She was so patient and caring dealing with our two very old dogs. I felt like they were getting the best care possible. She provided reports 3 times a day and let us know how our antique fur kids were doing. You can tell when someone truly loves animals and it's clear that Johna does.”
“5-Star Review from this dog lover! Nina and her daughter did it all: Treated my little guy like a prince, sent many adorable photos and videos each day. They trimmed his nails and massaged his paws with coconut oil— so sweet of them. I would highly recommend them and will utilize their pet caretaking expertise next time I need a doggie boarding services. Thanks ??”
“Our pup Hamilton loved staying at Hugh and Mary’s! Lots of playtime with the other dogs and a comfortable, safe place to leave our dog while hitting the slopes. Highly recommend Hugh and Mary!”
“Monica was wonderful!! Our big guy George had a blast playing with her puppies. Monica sent tons of pictures and updates which I really appreciated. She loved George like we would which made going out of town so much easier! She even let him sleep on the bed with her which he doesn’t do at home haha! We will DEFINITELY use Monica again!!”
“Alice was great and i could tell Harley had a good time playing with the other dogs there. She constantly provides updates with pictures & is quick to respond to all my messages. It definitely made me a lot better leaving harley for the weekend”
“Viviana was amazing!!! When we went to go pick up our dog she didn’t even want to come home and would rather have stayed with them 🤣 that’s how much our dog loved Viviana and her husband! This was our first time having someone dog sit and it went absolutely prefect. I also received updates on how our dog was doing and that was the best! I will be re-booking with Viviana in the future! My husband and I were extremely pleased with the experience. Thank you all so much.”
“Nuvea was amazing! She has a great place and a real understanding of and attention to the needs of pets! She was so nice to work with and was incredibly understanding and accommodating when I messed up the dates of my trip and we had to extend our puppy’s stay! We will definitely be using her again!”
“Second time leaving Saint with Jen and once again she was amazing and treated Saint with so much care and attention with photo updates. Absolutely love leaving Saint with Jen!”
“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!!”
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.
“I can't thank you enough, Shawna! This was smudge's first boarding experience and it was clear that he felt safe, confident, and happy the whole time. I had a lot going on this trip and not worrying about him made a massive difference. I appreciate how accommodating, attentive, and thorough you are with pick-up and drop-off, care, and updates. Would definitely book again!”

“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.

“Tom did an excellent job taking care of my cat and house while I was away. He sent me daily updates with pictures, which I really appreciated. I felt relaxed on my trip knowing he was there with my cat and giving her special attention. I returned home and my cat was her happy and sweet self. I highly recommend Tom for any of your pet sitting or house sitting needs.”
About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was 13. I’ve volunteered at no kill shelters and kennels for 5 years. I currently have two fur babies now (both rescues) and my mother always had about 8 in her home. I’ve taken care of dogs from tea cup to Great Danes. I also have cared for dogs with diabetes, who were blind, and have cerebral palsy. I work full time (Mon -Fri) in the lower dessert, live in JT. I’m home around 4/4:30pm each day. Of course your baby will be the first one that I see once I’m off of work and before I go into work. As a dedicated pet caregiver, I prioritize each animal's well-being and comfort while following your specific instructions. I ensure they receive regular feeding, fresh water, and ample exercise through walks or playtime. 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!
“Vanessa was very timely and communicated with us while she visited with our puppy Hazel! She was so nice and made me feel much more at ease about leaving my little one home for the day. She sent pictures too! Vanessa rocks! Highly recommend!!”
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.
“Megan was wonderful with our two cats. She watched them over the holidays as we travelled, sending us updates and photos with each visit. She was willing to do a meet and greet before we finalized our booking with her and we immediately knew she was the right person to take care of our boys. This was our first time ever leaving J&J with someone other than family and friends and Megan made us feel secure in doing so. We will absolutely ask her to watch our babies again in the future. Thank you SO much, Magen. J&J already miss you ?”

“Lacey was able to watch my pup and get her in for day care on VERY short notice. she did a great job at making sure Milly was comfortable and happy with all the other dogs that she met at the house. I’m from out of town, but would not hesitate to have Lacey watch her again.”
“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!”
“Monica is always AMAZING. We have had some personal things come up this past month taking us away from home more than we would like and Monica has stepped in and taken care of our boy and it’s been such a blessing! She is the easiest to work with and George loves her so much!”
“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.”
“I cannot say enough great things about Taura! My boys were with her two full days while I visited Joshua Tree and I had ZERO worries leaving them there. Laura was so welcoming and has such great space for dogs to run and play. This was great for them as we were on a cross-country road trip and they spent lots of time in the car. Taura was awesome at sending updates and videos, so I knew they were having fun the whole time. Taura is am amazing and interesting woman, and I think our paths will cross again. Taura- thank you from the bottom of my heart!!”
“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.”

“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.”
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!
“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!”
“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”

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.
“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: 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.”

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.

“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!”
“We left our dog Jade with Taura, and honestly, we weren’t sure she’d want to come back home — she had that good of a time! From the start, it was clear how kind, attentive, and genuinely loving Taura is with all dogs. Jade is usually pretty reserved, but she warmed up right away and looked so happy in all the updates we got! We could tell she was in great hands — getting tons of attention, and a peaceful, caring environment. Taura was extremely accommodating with us and is a very caring person!”
“5-Star Review from this dog lover! Nina and her daughter did it all: Treated my little guy like a prince, sent many adorable photos and videos each day. They trimmed his nails and massaged his paws with coconut oil— so sweet of them. I would highly recommend them and will utilize their pet caretaking expertise next time I need a doggie boarding services. Thanks ??”
“Our pup Hamilton loved staying at Hugh and Mary’s! Lots of playtime with the other dogs and a comfortable, safe place to leave our dog while hitting the slopes. Highly recommend Hugh and Mary!”
“Monica was wonderful!! Our big guy George had a blast playing with her puppies. Monica sent tons of pictures and updates which I really appreciated. She loved George like we would which made going out of town so much easier! She even let him sleep on the bed with her which he doesn’t do at home haha! We will DEFINITELY use Monica again!!”
“Alice was great and i could tell Harley had a good time playing with the other dogs there. She constantly provides updates with pictures & is quick to respond to all my messages. It definitely made me a lot better leaving harley for the weekend”
“Viviana was amazing!!! When we went to go pick up our dog she didn’t even want to come home and would rather have stayed with them 🤣 that’s how much our dog loved Viviana and her husband! This was our first time having someone dog sit and it went absolutely prefect. I also received updates on how our dog was doing and that was the best! I will be re-booking with Viviana in the future! My husband and I were extremely pleased with the experience. Thank you all so much.”
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.
“I can't thank you enough, Shawna! This was smudge's first boarding experience and it was clear that he felt safe, confident, and happy the whole time. I had a lot going on this trip and not worrying about him made a massive difference. I appreciate how accommodating, attentive, and thorough you are with pick-up and drop-off, care, and updates. Would definitely book again!”
“Loved having Dana watch over my baby Bala. She was properly communicative with me with lovely photos, followed all the food instructions, and provided ample cuddles to my doggie. A pro caretaker.”
“Felice! Thank you so so much for taking care of our babies. We recommend Felice to anyone with anxious doggies. She does so well with them and made them both feel comfortable in seconds! Thankful to have found her 🙏🏼”
“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 : )”
“Alan and Joe were fantastic, and my dogs loved being there. I was nervous, as they’ve never stayed away from home, but Joe and Alan made them feel right home and calmed my nerves. We may have found our go-to sitters.”
