“She took very good care of my senior dog Fiyero. She always update me and send me pictures of feeding times in the morning and afternoon and also during bedtime getting him ready to sleep. Highly recommended to take care of your fur babies.”
“Don was great with our dog Jack when we had to go out of town for a few nights! He sent photos to keep us updated and was very accommodating when traffic delays meant we were late for our arranged pick up time. Don clearly loves dogs and has a great approach with them. We'll be back in touch whenever we have to travel again.”
“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!!”
“I felt good about leaving Max with Erin. Her home is clean and free of potential hazards. There is plenty of space for my dog to roam in a fenced in environment and a cool place to potty in the back and sides of her home. She kept me thoroughly updated through out the day with pictures and messages. I would use her services again.”
About: I've been a dog sitter for almost five years , have experience in making your dog feel at home and not stressed out. Your dog will want to come back, and my home will be their second home. I telework , and and home most of the time. I live in the second largest city in the county with lots of dog parks. My home is perfect for dogs, I do not have carpet so if your dog has an accident I can clean it up very easily. Also your dog is welcomed to sit on any part of my home, unless instructed by owner otherwise.
“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.”
“Wow! What a great time Bee had with Brandon. He is obviously a big dog lover and gave our very young and energetic and, yes, mischievous pup full time attention. She came home so tired and calm. We got frequent communications so we never had to worry. We appreciate the flexibility and devotion shown by Brandon, and will definitely call on him next time we are in the Palm Springs area.”
“Joan and her husband Phil are wonderful. They took amazing care of Parker. Joan sent daily updates throughout his stay. It was his first time away from home and he had a great time. Highly recommend Joan”
“Gloria is truly amazing as always. My dog loves her so much whenever she gets to stay with her. I have a standard poodle so her care routine involves some maintenance specific to her breed, Gloria always provides above and beyond care! We ran into some trouble getting home at our original planned time, and Gloria was generous/flexible with extending our boarding time. The updates she send are informative and adorable! I will always return to my favorite sitter whenever my pup needs some love and care!”
About: I recently inherited my aunt‘s dog after she passed away. She wanted me to have Buddy that’s his name (he is the dog in my profile pic♥️)because I am so good with animals. He is a senior dog and I’ve rejuvenated him. We walk every day, I make him fresh, fresh, food I play with him. He’s super happy and it’s like he’s got a second lease on life a pep in his step. This is what I can provide to dogs that I watch or sit or walk. Caring loving attentive care until their mom or daddy returns.🐶 I wake up around 5:30 am and give my dog a walk. I make sure we are up bright and early so that we can get a walk in before the pavement is too hot for him. Then I come home and feed him his breakfast. Throughout the day we s play or if I leave and when I get back I will chase him around our couch. Buddy loves that! I am very gentle and follow the rules to a T. If there’s any instructions or preferences on treatment or care for the animal, always make sure that’s my number one priority.

“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!!!”
“Absolutely the best. I have a difficult dog, and Candace was extremely confident and loving with her. I have full peace of mind when she's watching my dog. Thank you Candace!”
“Katie took wonderful care of my special needs dog in a short notice situation. She was very easy to communicate and was flexible with me on pick up and drop off. She sent me lots of pictures during my dog's stay and checked in with me often. I can't recommend her enough! Most people would not open their home to a medical special needs dog but Katie did without a second thought. Thanks again for the wonderful experience. So grateful to have found you”
“Brandon was wonderful with my dog during an overnight stay. He provided great communication and regular updates, which gave me peace of mind. It’s clear he’s both knowledgeable and kind—my dog was in excellent hands.”
“This was the first time we've left our Labradoodle, Dexter, since getting him a year ago, so we were plenty apprehensive. Our worries were immediately calmed down as Maggie sent pictures and videos each day! She is also amazing at responding quickly to texts, so there were never any anxious moments on our part. Not only was there a fenced back yard for Dexter to run in, but Maggie took him on walks/jogs which he no doubt enjoyed. We hope she is available the next time we need to board him!”

“Crystal always goes above and beyond. She played with our cats and made sure they were exceptionally cared for while I was out-of-state. She left the house better than when I left. Highly recommend!”
About: I've always had a love for animals, and as a pet owner myself, I understand just how much our pets mean to us, they're family. Being a pet sitter has allowed me to turn that passion into something I truly enjoy. For over 10 years, I've had the privilege of caring for pets as if they were my own, and there's nothing more rewarding than building trust with both pets and their families. I know that leaving your furry family member in someone else's care can be stressful, so my goal is to provide a safe, loving, and reliable experience that gives you complete peace of mind. Every pet is unique, which is why I take the time to learn their routine, personality, and individual needs. Whether your pet is playful and energetic, shy and anxious, or enjoying their senior years, I provide patient, personalized care to help them feel comfortable and secure while you're away. I have experience caring for senior pets, puppies, and anxious pets who need a little extra patience and reassurance. I'm also comfortable administering oral medications and supplements to both dogs and cats, and I always make sure they receive them exactly as instructed. In addition to caring for your pets, I take pride in looking after your home as well. I'm happy to bring in mail and packages, water plants, and help with other basic household tasks so you can return home to everything just as you left it. I believe communication is one of the most important parts of pet sitting, so you can expect regular updates with photos and videos throughout your trip. My hope is that you can relax and enjoy your time away knowing your pets are happy, loved, and being cared for by someone who genuinely treats them like family. I strive to create an experience where both you and your pet feel comfortable from the very first meet and greet.

“I have three large dogs — which is no small feat — and finding someone I trust with them is everything. Our sitter was absolutely incredible. She didn’t just watch them; she was fully engaged, spending more time playing with them than I usually get to myself. My dogs can be a handful, and she handled them with so much energy and love. I came home to three happy, tired pups, which says it all. Highly recommend her to anyone, especially those with big or high-energy dogs!”

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.
“Don was excellent -- he accommodated our schedule at the last moment and looked after our friendly (but protective) German Shepherd pup as if it were his own. Thank you Don!!!”

“Natalie watched our Siberian Husky mix twice while we explored Joshua Tree Nat’l Park. She was awesome to work with and took great care of our older dog, who is on a few meds. We received several pictures each day and Blance was clearly happy when we picked her up and super excited when we dropped her off the second day, so we know she had a great experience.”
“I’m so happy to have tried Rover for the first time and Diane was wonderful! It was so nice to enjoy a full day out with friends and to not worry about Griffon. When we come back for a visit to La Quinta, I will definitely reach out to Diane again. Thank you so much!”

“Gloria was wonderful with my dog and took such great care of her during her stay! My pup can be anxious in new places, but she came home calm and clearly well-loved. Gloria was very kind and sent regular updates throughout my dog’s stay, which gave me peace of mind. Her husband was also kind enough to help when I dropped off and picked up my dog. I appreciated how attentive Gloria was to my senior dog’s needs, including her medication schedule. My dog means the world to me, and I would absolutely trust Gloria with her again! 🩷”
“Yesenia was wonderful. Very responsive and we really appreciated the updates with pictures throughout the stay. This was the first time our pup stayed with a sitter, and she made him and us feel comfortable 😊 I highly recommend Yesenia.”

About: I’ve taken care, treated recovered dogs and have found a home to multiple dogs . My last puppy was a 9 year old (they are puppies no matter their age) was in a badly state when found and vets said she wouldn’t last a year. She stayed with us healthy and running for 5 years until a little tumor took her. I’ve also dog sat , Labrador retrievers with diabetes (injections and cleansing of eyes), weenier dogs that suffer from seizures (give medication on a specific time) and other dogs. I am a part time worker and online college student. I am available from 7:00 am - 3:00pm although my work schedule varies therefore my availability may be more accessible based on the day. I ensure that they have water and food in their designated food trays, I ensure that all the dog’s entrances ( outside /pooping area- inside/rest designated area) are accessible for them throughout the time I leave and their owners get back to them. With that, I also ensure the safety doors so there is no way for dogs to escape. I make sure to inspect the house for any safety hazards and will ask or call before leaving. Better safe than sorry.

I’m currently working from home so I have the flexibility to provide care to any fur babies. I like to wake up early so I can start my day off right and give pets the needed routine for an active and healthy day. Although it’s not very large, I have a fenced yard, which will allow for fur babies to play or simply soak up some fresh air. I also live minutes from the Station 86 dog park as well as have a grass area in my community, which is gated.
About: I’ve had both dogs and cats since I was 5 years old, giving me more than 40 years of hands-on experience caring for pets. 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.
About: I recently inherited my aunt‘s dog after she passed away. She wanted me to have Buddy that’s his name (he is the dog in my profile pic♥️)because I am so good with animals. He is a senior dog and I’ve rejuvenated him. We walk every day, I make him fresh, fresh, food I play with him. He’s super happy and it’s like he’s got a second lease on life a pep in his step. This is what I can provide to dogs that I watch or sit or walk. Caring loving attentive care until their mom or daddy returns.🐶 I wake up around 5:30 am and give my dog a walk. I make sure we are up bright and early so that we can get a walk in before the pavement is too hot for him. Then I come home and feed him his breakfast. Throughout the day we s play or if I leave and when I get back I will chase him around our couch. Buddy loves that! I am very gentle and follow the rules to a T. If there’s any instructions or preferences on treatment or care for the animal, always make sure that’s my number one priority.
About: I have experience administering medication to pets. I bond with the animals I care for. I’m diligent and trustworthy. I have dozens of references I can share. Please let me care for your pets! I’m currently available every day for pet sitting. I recently moved back to the desert from Napa. I can also water plants and bring in mail. I’m happy to send updates on how your pets are doing while you’re away. I will be sure your dogs get plenty of exercise. I’m very sensitive to the needs of pets and take my responsibilities very seriously. Your pets will be in good hands!
About: Hi, I’m Brianna! I’m new to professional pet sitting and dog walking but I’m an animal lover and have been caring for animals my whole life. I’ve always had pets of my own and have cared for lots of pets belonging to my family and friends such as dogs, cats, and birds. Because of this, I understand that every pet has different needs, routines, and personalities, but they all deserve the same love, patience, and care. I’m responsible, reliable, and truly love getting to know each pet and making them feel safe and comfortable. I’m currently a business college student and take all of my classes online, which gives me a very flexible schedule. This allows me to have plenty of time throughout the day to care for pets, whether that means going on walks, making drop-in visits, or spending quality time with them. I genuinely enjoy being around animals, so I’m excited to make pet care a meaningful part of my routine. I provide loving, attentive care based on each dog’s individual needs and routine. For doggy day care, I will provide plenty of playtime, attention, bathroom breaks, and a safe, comfortable environment. For dog walking, I make sure dogs get a safe and enjoyable walk suited to their energy level. During drop-in visits, I provide fresh food and water, bathroom breaks, playtime, and plenty of love and attention. I always follow the parent’s instructions and treat every dog like my own.
About: I have always had pets since I can remember from cats to dogs, bunnies, chickens, so I grew up caring for many animals. I would also pet sit for family members and friends. I currently have a dog and a bunny! I love exercise and nature, so I’m constantly outside playing sports or walking/running and hiking. I love to look for new spots for hikes or short walks and parks. I also have a part time job of only 12 hours a week so I have a lot of free time on my hands! I currently have a bunny who has her own little pen. My apartment in a gated community and near a park! I am very organized and can follow any specific routines needed for pets of any needs.
About: Ever since I was a kid I’ve always had a dog and my family friends have always asked me to take care of their dogs while away. I adapt to any special instructions you may have and am very attentive to them. I believe that dogs are such amazing animals and they deserve the best care!! I work part time right now and do online school at the same time so my schedule is quite flexible. I drive and have a mini suv so if need be I can transport your dog and even take them to vet visits! I am able to check on your dogs throughout the day whether it’s to take them outside, feed them, or take them on a walk.

I take the time to get to know each pet’s unique personality and needs. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your pet is in good hands. Pet care fits well into my routine as a college student. Monday–Thursday, I am in class from 2-3:10 in Indio. (Please account for travel time when booking around those hours.) Instructions on how to best care for your pet(s) are always appreciated as every pet is unique and has their own routine I can follow!
About: I am a cat mom to a bengal cat named Tango. Tango’s favorite activities include playing fetch, taking walks along the Seine (he’s just returned from 2 years in Paris) and play dates with his homies Hammy & Otie (dogs). 🫶🏼 Tango aspires to be a Royal Canin model. We live in a house in La Quinta with a fenced yard, great for playing and exercise while confined. Residential neighborhood near old town and the park. Great area for walks, safe and clean. I mostly work from home, unless I have to travel. Otherwise I am available all hours and can schedule according to your pets specific needs. I care for all pets the same way I would want my kitty cared for. My cat is like my child, he has a very unique personality and style that I have fostered since I got him. I approach each animal according to their unique personality and their owner’s caretaking style.
About: I love dogs as family, I am patient and caring, peace of mind guaranteed. I’ve have experience with puppies as well as senior dogs who require extra care. My husband and I work from home. He tends to his landscaping business and I work at Walter Clark. Being home allows us to spend time with the dogs and to give them the attention and care that they require. I have a big yard with grass which is great for dogs to run and play, as well as a spare room with toys and air conditioner.
About: I’ve had dogs and cats throughout my life, and I truly enjoy caring for them, playing with them, and giving them the attention they deserve. I currently have a five-year-old Pug whom I absolutely adore, and adopting him was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made! I believe every animal has a unique personality, just like people do. Our pets aren’t simply pets—they’re beloved members of the family. No matter how difficult our day has been, they’re always waiting at the door, happy to see us and ready to make everything better—sometimes with a favorite toy as a welcome-home present! I would be delighted to give your furry family member plenty of care, companionship, playtime, and affection while you’re away. I love both dogs and cats, and I’m often available on short notice. If you pick up an extra shift or something unexpected comes up, just let me know. I’ll be happy to swing by, check on your fur baby, or take your dog out for some exercise and fun!

“Don was great with our dog Jack when we had to go out of town for a few nights! He sent photos to keep us updated and was very accommodating when traffic delays meant we were late for our arranged pick up time. Don clearly loves dogs and has a great approach with them. We'll be back in touch whenever we have to travel again.”
“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.”
“Wow! What a great time Bee had with Brandon. He is obviously a big dog lover and gave our very young and energetic and, yes, mischievous pup full time attention. She came home so tired and calm. We got frequent communications so we never had to worry. We appreciate the flexibility and devotion shown by Brandon, and will definitely call on him next time we are in the Palm Springs area.”

“Absolutely the best. I have a difficult dog, and Candace was extremely confident and loving with her. I have full peace of mind when she's watching my dog. Thank you Candace!”
“Brandon was wonderful with my dog during an overnight stay. He provided great communication and regular updates, which gave me peace of mind. It’s clear he’s both knowledgeable and kind—my dog was in excellent hands.”
“This was the first time we've left our Labradoodle, Dexter, since getting him a year ago, so we were plenty apprehensive. Our worries were immediately calmed down as Maggie sent pictures and videos each day! She is also amazing at responding quickly to texts, so there were never any anxious moments on our part. Not only was there a fenced back yard for Dexter to run in, but Maggie took him on walks/jogs which he no doubt enjoyed. We hope she is available the next time we need to board him!”
“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.”
“I can’t even begin to describe how wonderful our experience was with Mark! He is exactly who you want to care for your dog. Mark is attentive, thoughtful, empathetic, and caring. And his dog training skills really help. We have a 5-year-old Akita who is a can be full of energy and can be a recipe for disaster. Mark was incredible with her! He goes above and beyond to make sure your dog has everything they need and has fun doing it. He was patient, loving, gave her so much attention, including taking her out for walks thru centennial trail and the river nearby all the while kept us updated with pics and texts. Unagi had an amazing time with Mark, and I could tell she had a great time when we returned to pick her up. Highly recommend him to others.”

“Diana was great with my baby Smokey. She wasn't bothered by him being anxious and nervous during drop off. I appreciated the picture she sent me of Smokey during his visit. I will book with her again!”
“Yesenia was great and so was her husband! They treated our two small dogs like their own! In fact, her two little Yorkies treated our Maltese & Morkie like family too! It was a great stay through Rover and we would use Yesenia again! THANKS Yesenia!!”
“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.”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs of all sizes since I was a young girl, and animals have always been a natural part of my life. I’ve rescued dogs throughout my adulthood and loved every breed, personality, and quirky soul that’s come my way. Even cats — despite my allergies — tend to walk right up to me, which always makes me smile. I’ll still care for them with love (and a little help from allergy meds). I’m an empath with a deep, intuitive connection to animals. Nervous, shy, senior, or sensitive pets usually relax around me quickly. I read their body language, respect their boundaries, and create a calm, predictable environment where they feel safe and understood. I also bring professional caregiving skills to my pet care. As a retired massage therapist and longtime caregiver, I can offer gentle pet massage, calming touch, and support for aging, compassionate end of life care and support or anxious dogs. I’m comfortable providing wound care, administering medications, and injections for diabetic animal when needed. What truly sets me apart is the combination of lifelong love of animals, my experience, intuition, and genuine compassion. Your pet will be cared for with patience, warmth, and the same steady presence I’ve brought to every animal I’ve loved. When I am caring for your loved one I commit to your Pet only. No other side jobs. No leaving to walk or feed another animal. I serve one family at a time whether that is 1 pet or 3 or more Your family is my priority always. I create a calm, predictable environment where pets feel safe, understood, and cared for in my Home or Yours. I will respect your home, your space, your privacy and the trust you placed in me.
