“Alice was amazing. We left our 3 dogs in her care for a week while on a cross country trip. Her home is perfectly set up to keep animals safe and we felt completely comfortable with her.”
“Lacey is the absolute most wonderful, sweet, amazing human you will ever meet and she's a great dog sitter on top of that! Had to leave my lab with her while in Jtree for a climbing trip and she got him out on hikes right on her property. Her son is adorable and loves playing with the pups too. You and your pup will have a fantastic time with her and I'm definitely bringing my dog back the next time I'm making a trip.”
“Rocio received my high energy super anxious German Shepard husky with true patience! Received photos and videos of her napping and playing during her stay. Rocio was flexible, understanding and I received great communication. Very sweet and down to earth. Leia definitely enjoyed her time there. Will definitely be booking with Rocio again!”
“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.”
“Taurawa was INCREDIBLE! I cannot believe I found such a perfect caretaker for my dogs through rover. Her property is absolutely gorgeous and my dogs had the best time staying there. She’s so caring, knowledgeable, and thoughtful. I can’t wait to take my dogs to stay with her the next time I’m in Joshua tree.”
“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 :)”
“We miss Ashley! She took great care of our dogs whenever we needed to leave town. She truly spoiled them and treated them as her own. They also enjoyed playing with her dogs and running around her backyard. Highly recommend if you’re in the 29/JT area or even vacationing out there.”
“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!”
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.

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.

“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 : )”
“Nuvea was amazing! She’s super nice and took such good care of my two dogs while I was away. They looked so happy and relaxed when I picked them up. She really treated them like her own, and that means so much to me. I’ll definitely be bringing them back next time — highly recommend her! 🐶💖”
“Monica was an absolute godsend. Not only was she able to sit Kugel for our wedding weekend, but she made herself available to drive him to our wedding venue for some photos on Saturday. She also sent us tons of photos and updates throughout the weekend which helped keep our minds at ease during such a hectic time. We’ll definitely book with Monica again when we’re up in the high desert.”
“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! :)”
“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.”
“Nina was better than we expected. She is the first person we trusted enough to leave our dogs with. Outside of our regular sitter back in Santa Fe Springs. You can truly tell she has a heart for animals. Our Maltese mix is a love bug, Our chihuahua is another story. I was really impressed how quickly Tess warmed up to her. Dogs know Good people and I truly believe that Nina is one of those special people. Our 2 girls looked great when we picked them up. Nina gets 5 Star rating plus 5 Atta-Boys from us. God Bless you for what you do Nina.”
“She was very friendly and caring with our dog. She has a dog of her own and a few cats as well, obviously a very caring animal person. She sent us photo updates while our dog was with her and was always very responsive to our messages. Never left us in the dark about what was going on and forthcoming with her schedule to make sure our plans aligned with it. We're definitely using her services next time we're in Palm Springs with our dog!”
“We have boarded with Felice many times, always for many days in a row. I can’t find enough nice things to say about her and how much she loves our dog. She communicates well and loves our dog like he is her own! I highly recommend Felice!”
“Araceli was an excellent host for my guy OTIS. She provided plenty of pictures and comments that made me feel comfortable and assured that he was getting excellent care. He seemed to enjoy interacting with her pups and came home a happy camper.”

“BReN once again was a great sitter for my cat Xochitl while I was away for a week. My cat is very independent and doesn’t cuddle much so BReN must be a cat whisperer because I received frequent pictures of Xochitl hanging out on her lap or next to her! The house was clean upon return and she even brought in a package that arrived while we were out. BReN is thoughtful and caring toward animals and their human guardians.”
“LeeAnn is such an amazing pet sitter! She's very quick and responsive, and sends the cutest pictures of pets! I'm so thankful she lives in the area <3 Thank you so much, LeeAnn! <3 Mamba and Liv”
“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!”
“She is communicative, on time, I know I can always trust my cat is in good hands. Also, my cat who dislikes most people, loved her from the jump, so you know Jenny is good people.”
“Beverly was an awesome cat sitter for our drop in visits. She cared exactly what we care about with our cats - them staying safe and comfy! She was thorough in locating them and providing photos and updates. We’ll definitely be partnering again!”
“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!”
“This was my first time using a pet sitter, and Elizabeth is fantastic! I am so grateful to have found her. She is reliable, communicative, and clearly cares. I really appreciated the updates and felt confident knowing my kitties were in good hands. I highly recommend Elizabeth to anyone looking for a caring and dependable petsitter.”
“Basia was a great pet sitter and I really appreciated her trekking out so far into the desert to keep my kitties fed and watered! She was always on time and kept me apprised of how my babies were doing”
“Byanka is amazing. Im so grateful that I found her. She is very professional and so sweet and attentive to our cat. I was worried to leave him for a few weeks but Byanka quickly put me at ease. I would not hesitate to hire her again. Im pretty sure our cat will miss her even once we're back home.”
“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!”
“Sierra was AMAZING!! Our kitties have quite the odd feeding routine but she handled it like a champ. She was super patient with our more skittish kitties who aren’t always the most sure of new people and gave our more social kitties LOTS of lovins when they’d accept it. Sierra is phenomenal with communication & gave us lots of photos of our kitties while taking care of them too. I would highly recommend her watching your babies, when you’re away it was worth every penny! She checked all the boxes and then some 💕”
“Rejoice was just the best with our little cat. Our cat doesn’t always adapt to new locations fast, but was already super comfortable within 5 mins of meeting Rejoice and her sweet pup Zara! Definitely will be returning again.”
About: I've been taking care of animals for my entire life. Outside of having my own fur babies (two cats, and one dog), I have frequently cat/dog sat for friends, family, and neighbors! I have a deep love, and understanding for animals. I am ready to get to know your pets, and learn about their own unique characteristics and needs. I am able to provide feeding, grooming, exercise, quality time and any medical accommodations they may need. I'm currently taking some time off from my regular employment, so I have an abundance of free time to care for and spend quality time with your pets! I will utilize any instructions given, as well as my own intuition when it comes to the safety and well being of your pet. Whether we are at your home or playing at a park, your pet will be in very safe hands. I am also prepared to have active communication with you in regards to your pets, and how they are doing.
“Chantelle was wonderful taking care of our diabetic cat. She made sure he had food, water, medication and love. This was a, must be our of town moment, and she was awesome. Thank you so much!!!!!!! Highly recommend.”
“Sarah was amazing!! Sarah went above and beyond for my pup. She was very helpful, patient, and helped reinforce training. She’s very knowledgeable about dogs and gave excellent advice. I couldn’t recommend her enough!”
About: I have always been around dogs since I was 6 and was always trusted to walk them, feed them, and care for them in any other way. I have also had 3 dogs myself, and one cat. I had an epileptic dog too that required a lot of care and extra love. I currently work on weekdays at the school district, and I also go to college online, but I am fully free on weekends and holidays. I have a fenced yard, a very friendly dog named Kai and a cat named Lilith that likes to spend her time sleeping or eating.
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.

“The dogs came home tired and happy! She also took precaution to separate our smaller dogs from the bigger ones at the start till they were more comfortable which I really appreciated :)”
About: I've taken care of dogs of many breeds since I was a teenager. Neighbors, family and friends have relied on me to walk, bathe and babysit their dogs I currently work from home.

I have a fenced yard and live in a quiet home to keep your dog feel safe and and attentive with care. I can easily crate or walk your dog if needed.
“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.”
“Ashley was so great with my 7 year old border collie, who loves fetch and cuddling, both of which she was given plenty of ❣️ She watched my dog two days in a row, while I was in joshua tree and she was so lovely! Thank you, Ashley, and thanks for taking such great care of aubi and for all the stellar recs around town!”
“Lacey was awesome with my dog. He left both days happy and tired. She gave me updates and pictures and was super easy to contact and communicate with. She’s super nice and you can tell she loves dogs and your pets in good care.”
“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 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!!”
“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!”
“Hannah was great. She was very communicative and it was easy to find her place. My puppy had a great time running around with her dogs, he was very tired when he got back in the car after. We spent the day at Lassen Volcanic National Park and then had some driving to do after so it was great that he was tired out for the rest of the drive. Highly recommend Hannah if you’re driving through the area.”

“We send our pup George to Monica for doggie day care and it has been a life saver!! She takes excellent care of him, gives him lots of love and he plays all day while we work- it’s the best!!”
“Felice was extremely friendly and welcoming. I am very thankful she was able to watch my fur baby while my friends and I were exploring Joshua Tree while waiting to check into our Airbnb. Highly recommend!”
“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: 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.
About: I’m a huge animal lover who believes every dog has their own personality. I take the time to understand each pup’s needs so they feel safe, happy, and cared for like family.

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 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!
“I would definitely recommend Renée as a dog walker! She takes my pup on nice long walks and has been a huge help as I adjust to my new work schedule. Kayenta took to her right away. She’s flexible, reliable, and friendly. Super pleasant/easy experience working with her and I am already a repeat client. Thanks Renée!”
“Milo thoroughly enjoyed his walks with Francis. After the 1st couple of meetings Milo began anticipating his time with him. Waited by the door and wagged his tail. Francis completely lived up to his highly recommended reputation.”
About: I have a farm and a lifelong love for all animals! Currently, I care for my three furry friends and livestock, ensuring they receive the best care possible. My hands-on experience with a variety of animals and a trusted reputation among friends and family set me apart. I specialize in drop-ins, walking, and occasional overnight pet care, providing attentive and personalized care for your pets. Whether it's a quick visit or a refreshing walk, your pets will be in good hands. Pet care is a big part of my daily routine! As of right now, I am free most days during the daytime, unless stated. (Usually from 12:30pm till 3pm, then anytime after 6pm) Additionally, I sometimes bring someone from my family to accompany me (approved by you ofc). This provides better engagement for your pets and ensures there’s someone to assist if anything were to happen. At a client’s house, I prioritize creating a comfortable environment for their pets by following their routine and preferences. I ensure they have plenty of exercise, companionship, and playtime, while also respecting the home’s guidelines. Communication is key, so I’ll provide regular updates and stay attentive to their pets' needs!
About: I have taken care of both domestic and exotic animals all my life. I have lived in mostly farm lands. I have experience with every situation you can think of from timid, hyper, aggressive, and disabled. I work from home so my schedule is extremely open! Whether you have an easy to handle pet or one that is a little more difficult. I have the experience and patience for it all. Currently, I work from home. I also clean houses. 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 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.
“We hired Boston to do bi weekly walks for our two pups, Koa and Jax. Koa has always been very wary of strangers and has a lot of "stranger danger" related anxiety. Boston has been great on working with her the last few walks despite her protests, and has been very patient and understanding. Jax, our younger pup, has warmed up pretty well to him already! Boston has always been on time and let us know in advance when he is coming over. He has been very friendly, professional, and kind toward our dogs. We highly recommend!”
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 live with my own little crew of three cats and one dog and have fostered and cared for other animals over the years. I'm located in Yucca Valley on the mesa and have experience working and volunteering with cat and dog rescue groups, including handling large breeds and recently rescued dogs. I can provide walking, pet-sitting in your home, and active play for any size dog. I'm highly responsible, attentive, and punctual, and sensitive to pets with special needs or quirks. I love getting to know individual animals and catering to their personalities and needs. Medication, special needs, senior pets ok!

“Elizabeth was awesome! She visited to walk and feed our 3 dogs and everything went smoothly. Each dog has their own quirks and Elizabeth took her time to make each dog feel comfortable. She left thorough notes in the app and was very communicative leading up to the visits. Would definitely 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.
“Sarah is basically our puppy’s favorite human (and yes, we’re a little jealous). She somehow manages to keep a 10-month-old ball of chaos exercised, happy, and still alive—which feels like a superpower. Our pup comes back from walks tired, content, and clearly convinced Sarah is the coolest person on earth. She’s dependable, great with updates, and handles puppy energy like a pro. If your dog enjoys walks, fun, and living their best life, Sarah is the one.”
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.
About: There’s just nothing like the happiness a dog (or cat) brings to our lives! They’re always there for us, and they ask so little of us in return. Our pets have an amazing, giving spirit, and it’s definitely their selflessness that inspired me to become a pet sitter! I believe that animals need just as much love as we do, so I want to put a smile on as many faces as I possibly can. Not to mention, I love that I can give back to my community at the same time by providing owners with peace of mind while they’re away. I can’t wait to meet your pet! When taking on a new client, I typically like to schedule a meet-and-greet. It’s a great way to make sure that we’re all a good fit for one another, which is so important to me. Likewise, it gives us the opportunity to chat face-to-face about your pet and care expectations. No one knows your pet better than you do, so it’s always great to chat with owners in person about what makes their pup tick! Finally, I just love meeting new clients! I like to get down on their level to show them that I’m a welcome presence here to make friends, and I’m sure we’ll be best buddies in no time at all. I know how difficult it can be to be away from your best friend, so I’m here to make that time as easy as possible! When your pet is in my care, I’ll always send tons of updates along so you can be in the loop on everything we’ve done during the day. I’m happy to send detailed information on anything that you need to know just how they’re doing—from behaviors to exercise times to meal prep. Likewise, those updates will always have accompanying pictures so you can see just how much fun your pet and I are having together! I’m also very easy to get in touch with, so I’ll always be on call in case you have any questions or concerns. I’m available for drop ins, walks and short overnights. I am in school finishing my masters degree but tend to be pretty flexible overall, if you have a question send a message! I do drop in visits to your home and follow all instructions left. Times and expectations are agreed upon before arrival. I can let pets outside to use the restroom, feed them, give medication etc just ask! I also had a diabetic cat so I can perform injections if needed.
About: I just love dogs! With my experience as a K9 Search and Rescue and Explosives Detection (bomb dog) Handler, you can be assured your dog (s) are in the very best hands. I am happy to take your dog for a hike or walk weather permitting otherwise playtime in the security of your home/property or on my property if in home boarding. I have years of in-home boarding experience with both large and small dogs. Big or small, I love them all. Experienced with larger, working breeds so bring on your Dutchies, Malinois and German Shepherds. I believe in balanced training using treats, toys and praise but will utilize whatever i am instructed for your dog if necessary. I understand the bond between humans and dogs and your dog will be cared for as my own. Safety is always my top priority. I very much look forward to meeting you and your dog (s). Thank you, woof! I am currently mostly home on my property just working on training my new bomb dog and free for boarding and drop ins/walks/feeding at your home. Woof I have 2 acres of fenced property for dogs to play and exercise. Most dogs will be crated at night and throughout the day going out every 3 hours and at bedtime.
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.

“Lacey is the absolute most wonderful, sweet, amazing human you will ever meet and she's a great dog sitter on top of that! Had to leave my lab with her while in Jtree for a climbing trip and she got him out on hikes right on her property. Her son is adorable and loves playing with the pups too. You and your pup will have a fantastic time with her and I'm definitely bringing my dog back the next time I'm making a trip.”
“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.”
“Taurawa was INCREDIBLE! I cannot believe I found such a perfect caretaker for my dogs through rover. Her property is absolutely gorgeous and my dogs had the best time staying there. She’s so caring, knowledgeable, and thoughtful. I can’t wait to take my dogs to stay with her the next time I’m in Joshua tree.”
“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 :)”
“We miss Ashley! She took great care of our dogs whenever we needed to leave town. She truly spoiled them and treated them as her own. They also enjoyed playing with her dogs and running around her backyard. Highly recommend if you’re in the 29/JT area or even vacationing out there.”
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.

“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 : )”
“Monica was an absolute godsend. Not only was she able to sit Kugel for our wedding weekend, but she made herself available to drive him to our wedding venue for some photos on Saturday. She also sent us tons of photos and updates throughout the weekend which helped keep our minds at ease during such a hectic time. We’ll definitely book with Monica again when we’re up in the high desert.”
“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.”
“Nina was better than we expected. She is the first person we trusted enough to leave our dogs with. Outside of our regular sitter back in Santa Fe Springs. You can truly tell she has a heart for animals. Our Maltese mix is a love bug, Our chihuahua is another story. I was really impressed how quickly Tess warmed up to her. Dogs know Good people and I truly believe that Nina is one of those special people. Our 2 girls looked great when we picked them up. Nina gets 5 Star rating plus 5 Atta-Boys from us. God Bless you for what you do Nina.”
“She was very friendly and caring with our dog. She has a dog of her own and a few cats as well, obviously a very caring animal person. She sent us photo updates while our dog was with her and was always very responsive to our messages. Never left us in the dark about what was going on and forthcoming with her schedule to make sure our plans aligned with it. We're definitely using her services next time we're in Palm Springs with our dog!”
“We have boarded with Felice many times, always for many days in a row. I can’t find enough nice things to say about her and how much she loves our dog. She communicates well and loves our dog like he is her own! I highly recommend Felice!”
“Excellent experience. Our 3+ yr old Maltese loves these guys. He returns in a calm happy manner. They are very easy to work with as well. Have used 3x’s and remain very pleased.”
“Kevin was great. His communication was fabulous keeping us posted on our little boy. He even sent pictures, which we really appreciated. I would definitely recommend him to anyone who wants to know their pet is in good hands.”
About: I did start taking care of pets when I was in junior high! I grew up with beagles; I think I’m a fourth generation beagle owner, and my dog Lear is truly a wonderful host . He adores everybody, and they all seem to love him, too. My backyard is essentially for the pups , several lounging areas for the perfect noon time sunbath. We also love the dog park. I’m a senior who spends majority of my time at home with my pups. Lots of attention and interaction , and backyard breaks . Pup heaven! I have a lovely fenced in backyard, and my own pups love sunning themselves all times of the day. I’m normally always home except for quick trips to the grocery store or an occasional lunch out ; otherwise I’m here , hands-on!
