“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!”
“Lacey and family were just great! This the first time in almost three years we’ve been away from our dog and she made it a smooth and positive experience for Moose and for us. Lacey is quick to respond, proactively sends great pics and updates, and rolls with changes in plans with finesse. Plus our chonk seems to have lost a few pounds from playing with the other dogs and came home tired and happy. Thank you, Lacey & fam!”
“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.”
“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.”
“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 : )”
“Shawna took great care of our dog Lady. Lady is a recent rescue and she can be fearful and sensitive in new settings. Shawna’s calm, caring energy was a perfect match, and she graciously accommodated us when our plans changed at the last minute. We feel very fortunate to have found her.”
“Larry took great care of our pet. This is my first time using a sitter instead of boarding and she was much happier and received his undivided attention. Lots of photos and great communication.”
“Louella is an absolute dream of a dog sitter. She is so kind, sweet, gentle and friendly. She’s also responsible and has excellent communication skills. Her house and yard are beautiful and dog friendly. She took pictures of Bek and gave me updates (he always looked super happy and relaxed) which was great. I also felt like I could relax and be completely present on my vacation, which is a rare feeling when you have someone else looking after your pup. Can’t speak highly enough!”
“Very happy with Alexandra, nothing was too much trouble, we picked up Roxy and it was clear she had had a good time. Everything was perfect, Roxy did not want to leave when we collected her!”
“Taurawa is absolutely amazing! She was very accommodating for our last minute trip and so so helpful. She made sure our babies were comfortable with her and her home. She constantly sent me photos and videos and you could tell they just loved their time with her. Would recommend Taurawa to anyone with fur babies! She’s the best!”
“Rejoice is awesome! She has watched our pup twice now and I can’t speak highly enough about her. She takes great care and is very communicative. She has been flexible and accommodating. We will definitely look to Rejoice the next time we need a sitter. Thank you Rejoice!”
“Nina was so wonderful with our shy dog! She was very sensitive with our sensitive girl, and that made all the difference. She shared pictures and videos of how she was doing. She worked to help socialize her and to monitor her progress. I can’t recommend Nina highly enough!”
“Samantha was so lovely and responsive, with much dog expertise! She made sure Oswald felt right at home and I would highly recommend her for anyone needing to board their dog! Thanks Samantha!”
“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! 🐶💖”
“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!”
About: My family has had dogs ever since I was a baby. I didn’t own my own dog until I met Buddy and we have since then been inseparable. We go to the dog park every single day to play with all the other loving dogs. I’m currently working from home and am very flexible. Can take your pets for a walk and play with them outside or inside. They will be loved. I am proactive and will encourage the pups to run around outside, play fetch, and wrestle each other. Buddy would love more friends to play with.
“Johna took great care of my little fur baby for 4 days. She sent photo updates throughout the day which made me feel so reassured. I will definitely use her services again!”
About: I’ve been caring for pets for over 12 years and genuinely love what I do.

“BReN saved me when I had to leave home last minute due to a family emergency and I needed someone to check on my baby girl Xochitl while I was away. I received several photos of kitty being very social and affectionate upon BReN’s arrival. She also made sure to leave extra food and water since the power had gone out in other parts of town due to high winds. I’m so grateful to have someone who cares so much about animals who can care for Xochitl.”
“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 ❤️”
“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”
“Larissa was wonderful! My cat warmed up to her right away and they clearly had a good time while I was gone :) she was responsive, helpful, and went out of her way to make sure my cat was cared for. Highly recommend her.”
“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!”
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.

“Thanks Beverly! She was able to accommodate us at the last minute, and even made time to come for a getting acquainted visit. I will definitely be calling her again whenever Neil needs a visitor”
“Chantelle was a lifesaver for watching our kitties while we traveled! We took a 6-day trip and she did 1-hour daily drop-ins. We truly appreciated all the pictures and updates she sent letting us know how they were doing. Our girls warmed up to her quickly and she gave them a lot of attention and care! We will use her again and highly recommend her!”
“Kristen is AMAZING with cats. She’s incredibly thoughtful and sweet and has a heart of gold. Great communication, very timely, and trustworthy. I’ll definitely be booking with her again.”
“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!”
“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.”
“We accidentally missed the window to submit a review last time, so this is for two bookings worth! Jenny was super communicative and messaged us to let us know how our kitties were doing after each visit. It was so nice hearing from her every day and helped put our mind at ease so we could enjoy our vacation. Would book Jenny again without hesitation!”
“Such an amazing stay! It was a last minute and LONG trip, Binx was very well taken care of and Rejoice was so nice and comforting throughout our stay. Will definitely be using her services again.”
“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.”
About: Both of us grew up with pets in our homes; some of our fondest memories include time spent with our animals. Tristan has had dogs ranging from a little Chihuahua to a Great Dane, while Adeline had a series of high-energy mixes, as well as a couple mellow cats. We watched many of our friends' animals prior to adopting our pup George about a year ago, and have loved creating a forever home for him! We both are self-employed, and frequently work from home throughout the week. This flexibility allows us to be attentive with breaks and walks, and ensures that our pup and yours won't be left alone for too long each day. We have a fenced-in yard and live in a very walkable area near a park. We love to take walks and play with our dog, and will treat yours with the same amount of attention and care!
“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!”
“Katie did a couple of drop ins for my dog and 2 cats. They were all very comfortable with her and she gave them tons of attention! We would definitely recommend her to others and will use her for future trips!”

“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🐶🥰”
“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 :)”
“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”
“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!”
About: I have 30 years of experience caring for dogs and understand that every pet has a different personality, routine, and comfort level. I work from home, so the dogs in my care receive close supervision, frequent attention, play, and regular potty breaks. I am comfortable caring for senior dogs and dogs with special needs, and I can administer oral or injected medication when provided with clear instructions. Pet parents can expect thoughtful communication and photo updates while their dog is with me. My goal is simple: to help your dog feel safe, understood, and at home while you are away. I work from home and have a flexible schedule, which allows me to give pets consistent attention throughout the day. I can accommodate regular potty breaks, playtime, walks, feeding routines, medication schedules, and plenty of companionship. I provide attentive care in a non-smoking home with a fenced outdoor area and a gated dog park nearby. I supervise pets closely, follow each owner's feeding, medication, exercise, and household instructions, and take introductions at the dog's pace. My resident dog, Bart, is part of the home, so I want to understand how each guest is socialized before booking. I am also respectful and careful when providing care in a client's home. Please share any routines, triggers, medical needs, or safety concerns so I can create a calm, comfortable stay.
“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.”
“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!!”
“Johna made our trip to Joshua Tree so much fun!! It was awesome to be able to go hiking while knowing our two dogs were well taken care of. She is such a kind and caring person, and showed our dogs so much love. She figured out exactly what they liked, and ended up giving our puppy her favorite toy at the end of our trip. I can’t recommend her enough!!!”
“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.”
“Felice really goes all out for my dog who is hyper. She cares for her and walks her and does everything to make it a great experience for me and my dog. Highly recommend her.”

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.

“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.”

“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!”
“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!”
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover with over 10 years of hands-on experience working as a groomer’s assistant, where I helped with bathing, brushing, grooming prep, and nail trims for dogs of all sizes and temperaments. I’m comfortable handling nervous, energetic, senior, and special-needs pets, and I always focus on making them feel safe and cared for. I also have extensive experience fostering dogs for rescue organizations and helping animals in need, including rescuing pets off the streets and giving them loving homes. Caring for animals isn’t just work for me—it’s part of my everyday life. My home is full of happy pets, including three dogs, one cat, six birds, and a tortoise. I offer dependable and loving care including dog walking, drop-in visits, pet sitting, boarding, bathing, grooming support, and nail trims.

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: 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!
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: 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.
“Reliable and available whenever our usual dog Walker isn’t available. Very friendly and accommodating. Have booked several times and will continue to book in the future :)”
“Layla was amazing with our girl!! She sent me updates including photos and videos during their walk together and even went out of her way the night prior to meet Nova despite me booking last minute! So happy we found Layla, we already booked her 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: I have always had dogs in my home, up until a few months ago. I have worked at an animal shelter and have experience with shelter animals (dogs and cats) with walking, medicating, cleaning, grooming and socializing difficult animals. I have cared for older animals and younger animals and know what things to watch out for to ensure the safety of the animal is met. I am also currently volunteering at the Joshua Tree No Kill Shelter. I am completely available 7 days a week! The only priorities I have are my own dog so overnight stays are unlikely for me, but I am open to discussing. I am very practiced in animal care so if you hire me, I can bring some comfort to you so you can feel your pets will be looked after and cared for properly and lovingly.
About: My family has had dogs ever since I was a baby. I didn’t own my own dog until I met Buddy and we have since then been inseparable. We go to the dog park every single day to play with all the other loving dogs. I’m currently working from home and am very flexible. Can take your pets for a walk and play with them outside or inside. They will be loved. I am proactive and will encourage the pups to run around outside, play fetch, and wrestle each other. Buddy would love more friends to play with.
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: 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 or evening, unless stated. 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!
“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!”
“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 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 am currently a full time student at SUU and a part time employee. I’m willing to work with your schedule as long as your willing to work with mine! 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.
“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: Both of us grew up with pets in our homes; some of our fondest memories include time spent with our animals. Tristan has had dogs ranging from a little Chihuahua to a Great Dane, while Adeline had a series of high-energy mixes, as well as a couple mellow cats. We watched many of our friends' animals prior to adopting our pup George about a year ago, and have loved creating a forever home for him! We both are self-employed, and frequently work from home throughout the week. This flexibility allows us to be attentive with breaks and walks, and ensures that our pup and yours won't be left alone for too long each day. We have a fenced-in yard and live in a very walkable area near a park. We love to take walks and play with our dog, and will treat yours with the same amount of attention and care!
“Her own dog is very happy and friendly. My dog was comfortable with her even my dog is usually nervous when she meets new people and dogs. Rejoice is very good and trustworthy. She is friendly and happy too. I recommend her!!”

“Lacey and family were just great! This the first time in almost three years we’ve been away from our dog and she made it a smooth and positive experience for Moose and for us. Lacey is quick to respond, proactively sends great pics and updates, and rolls with changes in plans with finesse. Plus our chonk seems to have lost a few pounds from playing with the other dogs and came home tired and happy. Thank you, Lacey & fam!”
“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.”
“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.”
“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 : )”
“Shawna took great care of our dog Lady. Lady is a recent rescue and she can be fearful and sensitive in new settings. Shawna’s calm, caring energy was a perfect match, and she graciously accommodated us when our plans changed at the last minute. We feel very fortunate to have found her.”
“Larry took great care of our pet. This is my first time using a sitter instead of boarding and she was much happier and received his undivided attention. Lots of photos and great communication.”
“Very happy with Alexandra, nothing was too much trouble, we picked up Roxy and it was clear she had had a good time. Everything was perfect, Roxy did not want to leave when we collected her!”
“Taurawa is absolutely amazing! She was very accommodating for our last minute trip and so so helpful. She made sure our babies were comfortable with her and her home. She constantly sent me photos and videos and you could tell they just loved their time with her. Would recommend Taurawa to anyone with fur babies! She’s the best!”
“Nina was so wonderful with our shy dog! She was very sensitive with our sensitive girl, and that made all the difference. She shared pictures and videos of how she was doing. She worked to help socialize her and to monitor her progress. I can’t recommend Nina highly enough!”
“Samantha was so lovely and responsive, with much dog expertise! She made sure Oswald felt right at home and I would highly recommend her for anyone needing to board their dog! Thanks Samantha!”
“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! 🐶💖”

About: I’ve been caring for pets for over 12 years and genuinely love what I do. I’m dependable, patient, and attentive with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and ages—from energetic puppies to senior pets who need extra care. I have experience with feeding, walking, bathing, administering medication, and reinforcing basic training. I treat every pet like they’re my own, making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I understand how important routines are and always follow your instructions carefully to keep your pet happy and stress-free. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your furry family member is in caring, reliable hands. 🐾 I currently specialize in boarding pets in my home and prefer this over house sitting. Boarding allows me to provide consistent, attentive care in a safe, comfortable environment where I can closely monitor your pet throughout the day. I’m flexible with drop-off and pick-up times and am available most weekdays and weekends. My goal is to give your pet a fun, stress-free stay while giving you peace of mind. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my highest priorities. I provide a clean, safe, and supervised home where your pet will receive plenty of attention, exercise, and affection. I carefully follow your feeding schedule, medication instructions, and any special care requests to keep your pet’s routine as consistent as possible. I’ll also send regular photo and video updates so you can relax knowing your pet is in loving, dependable hands. I treat every pet like a member of my own family. 🐾
“My family rented a house in yucca valley and my dog was too big to stay there. Salina was the perfect solution! Her house is centrally located and pick up and drop off was super easy. Salina was very understanding of Millie’s curiosity and she took great care of her. I got pictures and updates and Millie even got introduced to her new favorite toy. Would recommend and would use again”
“Felice is the best pet sitter. That's why as you can see I've used her multiple times. She always goes above and beyond to care for my dog. My dog loves being with her. Highly recommend her.”
“Alice did an excellent job with our dogs. It was our second time using her. We were gone for ten days for our wedding and felt very comfortable knowing they were in her hands. When our flight was delayed last night she was kind enough to drop them home at no charge so that our babies would be there on arrival. We will definitely use her again!”
“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.”
“We used Dana for the first time this week for 3 nights. She send photos of our girl out in her yard, and in her crate, and updated us on how she was doing. We will definitely be using her again.”
