“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 gave excellent care for my dog Bailey! I am so happy to have someone that can give my dog some extra attention. She was the only dog and I could tell she wasn't stressed out when I left her. He took some pictures as well and sent them to me while I was out. He was awesome!”

“Brandon and Billy took fantastic care of Spencer while we were away. They kept us updated throughout his stay with photos. They went above and beyond to make him feel right at home. While we hate to have to leave him while we travel, we are so grateful to know what good and caring people Brandon and Billy are to our pup.”

“I recently entrusted Joy with the care of my dog, Cali, and I couldn’t be more impressed with her dedication and attention to detail. Throughout Cali’s stay, Joy consistently provided me with photos and videos, showing me how well my dog was being cared for. It was clear that Cali was happy, well-fed, and had plenty of playtime. Joy went above and beyond to ensure Cali felt at home, and her updates gave me complete peace of mind. I highly recommend Joy to anyone looking for a caring and reliable pet sitter.”

“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.”

“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.”

“Jackson took excellent care of our little dog for overnight boarding. He was available on short notice on a holiday weekend, and always responded quickly to my questions and inquiries. He has a great home and our dog looked comfortable and well cared for. He sent photo updates as well. All of this put our minds at ease. I later learned that Jackson also does grooming. I highly recommend Jackson and will be utilizing his services again when we are in the area and also I will refer him to my family and friends.”

“Maria was amazing! I booked last minute and she gladly took Winston for the night. She sent multiple photos of him and gave me updates. Maria was also flexible with drop-off/pick-up. I highly recommend Maria if your in the La Quinta area!”

“Brandon was very nice & so accommodating in receiving Khaleesi & Khaldrogo; After last minute arrangement with him. They were there for less than a day & Brandon was a life saver as I cant have fur babies in the resort. He was the most reasonable rate as well for 2 of my pets. He shared that he provided beds & toys for my pets. He even added chicken to the doggie food when my picky doggies won’t eat. I would use Brandon again as my pet sitter. Thank you Brandon.”

“Gloria was WONDERFUL!! She provided excellent care for our dog. Gloria was always responsive to every inquiry and gave daily summaries. The whole experience was perfect. We are hoping to always using her pet care services.”

“We left our puppy Harry with Katie for over a week. This was his first time away from us while we were away for a vacation. She took great care of him. Harry is naughty and also has some joints issues which is a scary combo to keep him controlled while letting him have fun. Latie did tgat well. Harry did get sick for a day for some reasons and katie took him promptly to the vet and managed it just how we would have. She was constantly communicating with us about the progress and how he was doing which helped us feel a little at ease. I trust katie with harry and love her work ethic.”

“Ary has been the best sitter! Highly recommend! She is so sweet and takes the best care of our girl and our pup doesn’t love everyone but LOVES staying with Ary!! Thank you so much 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!”

About: I absolutely adore cats. My bestfriend has had cats all our lives and I’m always the one to take care of them while her family is gone. Unfortunately my mom is allergic to cats so I can’t have my own yet but I love them and hope to be able to help others with taking care of your cats!
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.

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!

“Crystal did a 4 night cat and-house sitting job for us She did a wonderful job looking after our cat Winston and sent photos everyday. It was nice to have the peace of mind that our home and fur baby were well cared for while we were out of town. We will be booking Crystal again. Thank you for a positive first experience using the Rover app”

About: I’ve had my first cat in 2023 but do to lack of my care on my end he sadly ran away bc he would go outside a lot and he just one day didn’t come back..

“Thank you for your willingness to do a meet and greet the day before the booking. I am grateful Millie had someone like you checking in on her and taking care of her box. Look forward to booking with you again.”


About: All cats are different, I understand they need time to warm up or never do. I will live around them until they trust me enough to be close. Litter and special feeding techniques are never an issue, I change litter every 2 hours to keep accidents from occurring.

About: With seven years of hands-on pet care, I bring more than just love for animals. I bring experience you can trust. Your pet gets one-on-one attention, daily updates, and a calm, consistent routine that keeps stress low while you're away. I’m currently employed Sunday through Thursday as a Sales Consultant at WDC. I work 9am-6pm. I would be happy to check on your pets before and after my work day. I keep routines consistent so your pet feels secure while you're away. That means feeding, walks, playtime, and meds on their normal schedule, plus plenty of companionship. I send daily photo/text updates, bring in mail, water plants, and keep things tidy if needed.
“Emma is my first choice to take care of my feline gruesome twosome on my frequent business trips. I highly recommend her in any scenario. She gives me peace of mind when I travel to know that both of my cats will be well taken care of, played with, and as relaxed as possible.”

About: I'm a lifelong animal lover whose instinct has always been to care for pets in need—I used to bring home every stray I found! As a devoted dog owner, my own pup is my constant companion. When he can't join me, I hire a trusted sitter, so I understand firsthand the peace of mind that comes from reliable, attentive care. I will treat your pet with the same patience, respect, and detailed attention I expect for my own. You can count on consistent updates and my full focus to ensure your furry family member is safe, happy, and well-cared-for. I work a consistent full-time job with an 8-hour shift, which means I’m available for drop-ins and walks before 7-8 AM and after 6 PM most days. My top priority is providing a safe, trustworthy experience in your home. I follow strict protocols: securing your home (locking doors/gates precisely as found), focusing solely on your pet with no distractions, and adhering meticulously to your instructions for their safety and routine. You’ll receive prompt updates and photos after every visit, so you’re always informed.
About: What sets me apart is my hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities. I have cared for and nursed four French Bulldogs, which has taught me how to be patient, attentive, and responsive to each dog's individual needs. Through that experience, I've become comfortable monitoring health concerns, maintaining routines, and making sure pets feel safe and cared for. I've also been around many different dog breeds throughout my life, so I'm confident handling a variety of temperaments and energy levels. My goal is to treat every pet like family and provide owners with peace of mind through reliable care and regular updates. Pet care fits well into my weekly routine because I've always been around dogs and enjoy spending time with them. While I am usually unavailable on Thursdays and Sundays, I do my best to be flexible and accommodate pet owners' needs whenever possible. As long as we stay in contact and communicate clearly, I can work with schedules to provide reliable care. I am committed to making sure every pet gets the attention, exercise, and care they need while their owners are away. When caring for pets in a client's home, I make it a priority to follow their normal routine as closely as possible. This includes feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medication if needed, and giving them plenty of attention and companionship. I understand that pets are most comfortable when their routine stays consistent. I also keep owners updated with messages and photos so they can have peace of mind while they're away. Having cared for and nursed four French Bulldogs and been around many different dog breeds, I'm comfortable adapting to each pet's individual needs and personality.

“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 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.

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.

About: Human to Shadow, a 6 year old male. After adopting him as a 6 week old puppy, I became fully invested in learning more about how I can provide my pups with the best care while enjoying life together.

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.
