“We had such an amazing experience with Joy and her husband Luis! They took wonderful care of Bodhi over the weekend. They were incredibly sweet and attentive, making sure he felt comfortable and loved. I really appreciated the consistent updates, messages, and adorable pictures throughout the weekend—it gave me such peace of mind! We will definitely book with them again.”
“Don is FANTASTIC! If I could give more than five stars, I absolutely would! Don communicates regularly, takes great care of my dog Dallas, make sure she gets walked and taken out regularly, and he is extremely skilled at dog training and boarding! He is willing to pick up and drop off your furry/fuzzy family member, he's flexible, and he sticks to any instructions that you might provide him about your animals diet, exercise regimen, etc! If you are looking to board or train your dog, send him or her to Don! Top notch service!!”
“Erin and Alex were amazing sitters for my pup, Phoebe. She can get a bit anxious but she immediately warmed up to both of them. Erin kept me updated throughout the stay with photos and texts. She was extremely professional, caring, and took extra special care of my girl. Phoebe was right at home when I arrived to pick her up and I could tell she had been well cared for.”

About: Hi! My name is Melany, and I've been an animal lover my entire life. I currently have a dog named Bella 🐶 and a cat named Pumpkin 🎃, so I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pets. When you're away, my goal is to make sure your pets feel safe, comfortable, loved, and cared for in their own environment. I treat every pet as if they were my own and always follow your care instructions carefully. Services I offer include: • Drop-in visits and daily check-ins • Feeding and fresh water refills • Dog walking and exercise • Playtime, companionship, and enrichment activities • Litter box cleaning and waste pickup • Medication administration when needed • Bringing in mail and packages • Watering plants and basic home care • Light tidying around the home • Regular photo and video updates so you can stay connected with your pet I'm reliable, attentive, and committed to providing loving care while giving you peace of mind. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family! 🐾❤️ I work part-time so I have a lot of time on my hands so I can spend more time with your babies. Just let me know what works best for you and I can work with it! I prefer meet and greets as I always have questions and I want to make sure your baby is not overwhelmed! I am very responsive on the app so reach out to me at any time!
“Brandon is a total gem! He and Billy are both so kind and caring. My two pups took to them immediately and had a wonderful time. Brandon is a great communicator and provided timely updates. I had a little mix-up with my dates, and Brandon was so flexible and accommodating with the change. I can't recommend them enough and my two pups can't wait to stay with them again.”
“We felt so comfortable leaving Ruby with Joan knowing she was in great hands! Quick, seamless communication and lots of photos were sent, which we appreciated! We would definitely recommend Joan for dog sitting and will most likely use her again in the future. ☺️”
“Joy was great with our doggie and kept us updated with photos and videos. She has a very nice and fenced house for the doggies. She took our dog to the park and she was very well taken care of.”
“Gloria was absolutely wonderful with my sweet puppy! I am an experienced rover sitter myself, and I will say I am impressed! Gloria’s attention to detail was amazing, and her communication skills were some of the best I have had with a pet sitter. My puppy came home extremely happy, she clearly received top notch care and a lot of love during her stay with Gloria! Thank you so much! I will 100% be booking again when I need a sitter.”
“Katherine and her daughter were amazing with my two Frenchies. We were out of town for a week and the dogs came back so happy and healthy. Photos were sent every night, I would give her 10 stars if I could.”
“I have to say that Dijanna is the best! She took super good care of my dogs while I was away and sent me plenty of updates about them. I’m so very very grateful for her. I sincerely wish her a magnificent New Year of complete success in her every endeavor!!”
“Jackson and his home was a great and safe place for us to leave our puppy, Monty. Monty was tired and happy when we came to collect, which was the sign of a great time! Jackson and his family are well versed in all things dog care and both super responsive and accommodating to all timing needs. Would throughly recommend to anyone looking to leave their four legged children in good hands.”
“Katie was beyond amazing. She took great care of my furbaby while I was out of state for several days. I was so anxious to leave Brownie with a stranger, but Katie constantly provided me a peace of mind by sending me tons of pictures. I felt so bad when Brownie made a scene when Katie tried to leave him by himself for a very short amount of time to run the errand, so she eventually had to cancel and stay with him all the time during his stay. I felt so sorry, but she was so kind and told me that puppies can be like Brownie when in a strange place. She was very patient with Brownie, and I really appreciate it. She is the perfect person that you can rely on when you can't take care of your furbaby by yourself.”
“Edith and her daughter were awesome!!! They were very easy to talk to and was the most accommodating!!! I would ask them to take care of our dog again next time we are in the area! Thank you again!!!”
“Our dogs stayed while we were at Coachella and we were so at peace knowing they were in such good hands. They sent photos and kept us updated throughout the weekend. Would highly recommend! Thank you!”

Over time, animals have became a passion and motivation of mine as I have three cats and a mini dachshund on my own. I got my puppy when he was 2 months old and raised him so I am absolutely open to caring for puppies! When it comes to any other accommodations, feel free to ask any questions! I am currently working from home remotely and have extra time in the morning and evening, that i am trying to discover a new hobby for myself. i care for my dog all day and visit the dog park twice a day. I have a closed backyard with a fenced gate. When it comes to caring for a fur baby in the parents home, I am very patient and understanding when it comes to any boundaries and rules.

I have 10+ years of experience in veterinary care and 8+ years as a professional dog groomer, allowing me to provide attentive, knowledgeable, and compassionate care while your dog is in my home. Pet care is fully integrated into my daily routine. My schedule is structured around feeding, exercise, medication administration, grooming upkeep, and close health monitoring.

I focus on reducing stress and creating a calm, positive environment. I treat every dog like family and strive to provide a safe, clean, and loving home while you’re away.

About: I work as a veterinary assistant and are currently in school to get my license. I love cats and take a special interest in feline emotional needs. I personally have 2 cats and 2 dogs. Pet care IS my daily routine as I work in the veterinary field and also have pets of my own. Pet care has always been a big part of my life. I currently have my own home where both cats are kept strictly indoors and have full range of the house at different times. My two cats don’t always get along so I take extra care to make sure litter boxes are cleaned daily and each cat has their own time to have the full house to themselves as to keep stress levels between them low. I was also able to completely fence my yard therefore both dogs are safe and confined.
“Super communicative. I was in need of last minute cat care during a heatwave and Iliani (Eileen) was ready to help! Was flexible as my schedule shifted and changed and went above and beyond to make sure I'd feel comfortable leaving Chilkat with her. I also appreciate how slow and thoughtful she introduced my cat to her own. I'm so grateful! Thank you”
About: I met my soul cat when I was five. I loved and cared for him for 16 years! I’m no stranger to administrating medicine, even at their feistiest. I understand the patience needed for cats when meeting new people and being introduced to new environments. I now own a Maine Coon cat who I love and adore. Truthfully, I care for him more than I care for myself ; his litter box is cleaned more often than my room!

About: Hello, my name is Brandon, and ever since I can remember I’ve been around pets (mostly dogs). I love all living things, especially animals. I started taking care of animals in the 8th grade taking care of my aunt’s cats and from there I’ve cared for all sorts of different animals. Being a pet owner myself I know how much it means that our companions get the best care and in my hands I promise to take care of them as my own, offering baths (if needed), time outside weather it’s just for a walk or playing at the park. For in house visits I can accommodate for whatever needs to be done for your four legged friend and any tidying up that might need to be taken care of. Very flexible person and accommodating to needs of the pet and/or individual. My primary goal is to help in any way I can and provide the best care I can. Please contact me if interested! Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine and something I genuinely enjoy. Whether it’s morning walks, midday drop-ins, or evening feedings, I structure my day to ensure each pet gets the time, attention, and care they need. I’m consistent, reliable, and always make sure pets feel safe, loved, and well-cared for—whether it’s a quick visit or an extended stay. I care for each pet as if they were my own, always prioritizing their comfort, safety, and routine. In a client’s home, I follow their specific instructions closely—whether that’s feeding schedules, walks, playtime, or administering medication. I make sure their environment stays clean, secure, and familiar to minimize stress while you're away. For drop-in visits, I give pets plenty of love and attention while making sure all their needs are met. Communication is key, so I provide regular updates and photos to keep you informed and reassured.

Don is super knowledgeable and mindful of your pet, which gives me so much peace of mind. Highly recommend!”
About: I have been watching over pups of all ages from a few weeks old to senior pup ages giving them all the cuddles, exercise, and snacking of fruits and vegetables to keep them on their toes. There's always time to relax and rest when I close up the curtains and change the lights to a nice dog cartoon or video for them to fall asleep to or cool down from the sun. I have been a foster parent for pups with my husband for about 2 years and never looked back, we have fostered over 12 pups of all ages to families all over the valley and continue to do so until we move to Oregon. I make home made food and treats depending on what I have available at the moment and provide them with different varieties of snacks that are healthy for them. I give them my attention and my fur babies get to play and socialize with everyone welcoming everyone and sharing all their toys🥰 I am currently staying home while my husband works and I do insta cart shopping depending on the day. And looking into getting my masters online so I have plenty of time to give them the attention they need. I have crates and gates depending on the pups needs. I have my home set up to section off pups if they need time to relax or go and play with others without bothering anyone else.
“Natalie and Michael were both so warm and loving to my very anxious pup. I know they look such great care of him and did everything to help him feel right at home. They sent pictures throughout the day and kept me updated about how he was doing. I highly recommend this family to take care of your pet!”

I work around routines all the time, and adding pet sitting around my daily or weekly life is like adding and extra activity to my routine. Im not a big fan of keeping animals cages, especially if the environment is new to them, I like to leave them hang around the house, so that way they are stress free and feel comfortable around me. I trust them, they trust me. 😁
“My husband took Rocky over to Joan's house to see how he would do prior to an upcoming trip. This was the first time we left him with someone other than family and I can't thank Joan enough for the pictures. It relieved a lot of stress for me and I know he will be in great hands when we are out of town for several days. Thanks again Joan, see you next week!! Colleen”

I understand that every animal has its own unique personality and needs, and I take the time to provide the individualized care, patience, and attention each pet deserves. Pet care has always been a part of my daily routine. I structure my schedule to ensure pets receive the attention, exercise, feeding, medication (if needed), and companionship they deserve. Whether it’s morning walks, playtime, maintaining their regular routines, or simply providing comfort and affection, I enjoy making pets a priority and treating them like family. When caring for pets in my clients’ homes, I make it a priority to maintain their normal routines and keep them comfortable in their familiar environment. I follow all instructions regarding feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications, and any special care needs. I understand that every pet is unique, so I take the time to learn their personalities, preferences, and routines. My goal is to provide dependable, loving care while giving pet owners peace of mind knowing their pets are safe, happy, and well cared for while they’re away.
“Raul is truly a gem in the Palm Springs/Indian Wells area! I was here for a work retreat and brought my pup with me. We had sessions all day the first two days and I wanted him to get out of the hotel & do doggie stuff & Raul provided just that! I booked him for a walk & he volunteered to take Loui$ to a dog park which was soo cool. His communication was great the entire time & I could tell King Loui$ enjoyed his time with Raul! I come to this area 2-3 times a year so definitely looking forward to using Raul’s services again in the future.”
About: I love dogs and grew up having all types of breeds but I am any pet friendly. I have had snakes, tortoises, a bunny and now I have a cat! My dog knowledge comes mostly from personal experience that I have optained from my lifetime of being a pet owner. At the moment I don't have a doggy in my life but I need one. I would love to practice my trading, playing and dog walking until I can add a dog to my life but in the meantime I'll enjoy the company of any doggy that will let me. My schedule is very free and flexible. I work part time and do some volunteer work so even though I'm available 90 percent of the time knowing ahead of time what pet might need some attention would be very helpful. Now I have a fenced yard. It's small but there is a park just down the street. To keep the pet in my home, it would need to be crate trained since I have a cat indoors (at least I can know that both pets are safe. And if it's at a clients home then whatever works for the pet and owner. That may be preferable but it all depends

About: With a lifetime of hands-on experience caring for animals, I bring both knowledge and genuine compassion to every pet I look after. I’ve raised a wide variety of animals over the years, and from a young age I’ve always had a heart for helping—often taking in and caring for strays in need. Today, I continue that passion on my small ranch, where I care for animals daily and understand their unique needs, behaviors, and personalities. My experience includes feeding routines, basic health awareness, administering simple care, and creating a safe, calm environment for animals of all kinds. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, or needs a little extra attention, I’m patient and attentive to what makes them feel secure and happy. I also offer faith-based care, treating every animal with kindness, respect, and a sense of purpose. I believe in providing a peaceful, loving environment where your pet will feel at home and well cared for while you’re away. As a stay-at-home mom, I’m home throughout the day and able to give animals consistent care and attention. I check on them in the morning, midday, and evening to make sure they’re fed, comfortable, and getting the care they need. My daily routine allows me to provide a steady, safe, and attentive environment for every pet. I provide safe, reliable care by respecting each pet’s unique needs. I follow owner instructions closely, maintain a secure environment, and make sure every fur baby feels comfortable and cared for. You can have peace of mind knowing your animal is in trustworthy, compassionate hands.
“I was so glad that Maggie was available to take care of my doggy again on my recent visit to Palm Desert. I think Chalie remembered what a nice time he had the last time he stayed there because he wagged his tail and did not even look back as Maggie walked him to her home. Indeed, he got lots of love and attention from Maggie’s son and seemed very happy on all the pictures she sent. I hope to use her services again next time I am in Palm Desert. I highly recommend her.”
“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.”
“Sierra was a great caretaker of our 10-year-old Golden Retriever, Shiloh. She sent photos every day showing him playing with the other dogs in her big backyard. We really appreciated that, and knowing he was having a good time. We'll definitely book with her again!”

“Christine took very good care of my dog, Mika. She sent regular updates with photos, and was quick to respond to my check-ins as well. Overall, very positive experience. Thank you!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs for at least 10 years, mostly with having my own. I know they are a big part of our families and how much we love and care for them. I am great with playing and cuddling and walking and absolutely love it. I currently work from home and so I have plenty of time to schedule dog walks, care and dog sits according to what is needed. I have a large green belt, that is very private. It is not fenced, but I have the ability to take the dogs out as much as needed. I also live in a very nice area where I have many trails and beautiful areas to walk.
“Caroline and Patrick were just fantastic with our Lucy girl!! During our meet & greet, I could tell right away Lucy felt comfortable around them which made our trip away so much more relaxing. They were great communicators with sending pictures and updates throughout her stay, took her on plenty of walks, played ball and had lots of cuddle time! What a relief to have found someone in the area that is so reliable. They will definitely be our first call next trip. 😊”
