“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.”

“We always appreciate how easy it is to communicate with Don regarding our dog's stay. And we appreciate the pictures and updates of our dog while he's there. Highly recommend.”

“We were so relieved to have found Joy. She was able to accommodate us last minute. Joy Took care of our five-month old puppy for a few hours while we were visiting the desert. Our puppy had just been attacked by a dog the week prior and still had stitches from where his eye was removed. She loved him and took photos of him the entire time for us. As very overprotective parents and nervous about his medical complications, we instantly were put at ease when we met her. Cannot say enough good things about Joy.”

“Katie is wonderful and treated our dogs Molly & Griffin awesome. I was thinking that the two of them were not going to want to come home with us when we picked them up. Thank you Katie for the care and the sharing of photos of them while we were traveling. Katie is highly recommend from us and our two pups.”

“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!”

“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.”

“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.”

“Jackson was straightforward to deal with. Responsive to phone or email contact. We had a pre-meet-up to get acquainted and then dropped Bentley off on the "leave off" day. He was anxious about our leaving, but Jackson was kind enough to send pictures of his stay for the couple of days he was there. All in all, it was a pleasant experience for Bentley, and we seemed to adjust perfectly. :-)”

“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”

“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.”

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.

“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!”

I understand that every pet has their own personality and routine, and I'm committed to providing the same level of care and attention I would give my own pets.

“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.

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.

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.
“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!”

“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 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.

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. I understand it can be difficult to finding the best match for the needs of your pups while you are away which is why I joined Rover as a sitter. My schedule for day drop in visits are by case to case, however, my evenings and nights are very flexible. For full day services, I am available Friday-Sunday. My goal is for pets to feel as comfortable as they are with their humans. I will follow any instructions provided and will ask questions as needed to ensure that the pets routine and environment are not disrupted.

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: Hello my name is Jenny, I've taken care of a few dogs through my high school years and cats. My family friends have relied on me to take care of their pets and their home. I have four dogs of my own who I love very much. I have experience with senior dogs who need more assistance than others. My dog walks with three legs, she is blind from one eye, and she cannot hear very well so she needs a lot of my attention especially because she is an older dog. I am able to bathe them, trim their nails (if they have clear nails), and I am very patient with puppies as well. I have a few loyal customers and they usually let me know ahead of time when they need me to pet sit so me schedule is mostly flexible. I am a college student and I have other priorities, but pet sitting will be my source of income so my schedule will be flexible through my daily and weekly routine. I have four dogs of my own, two male and two female dogs. Two of my dogs are very play full, they can get frustrate around other dogs because they are not used to new dogs around the house, but I could easily crate your pet. I do have access to a doggy door, so they come in and out as they please. I do not have a feeding schedule for my dogs because they have their bowl full throughout the day and night. My dogs are well behaved, but my two male dogs are not operated and most of my clients don't want their female dogs close to them which is understandable. One of my female dogs is old and can barely walk so she isn't around hypered dogs because I am afraid she will get hurt and she has been hurt in the past by pets I have cared for. Depending how your pet is around with other dogs it will be very rear for me to pet sit at my home.
About: Hi! So, here's a little about me and my experience with dogs. ~ I'm currently working at PetSmart as a professional certified Area Dog Trainer. ~Growing up I had a dog, a Bichon Frisè breed. I trained and competed in obedience and agility with my dog and other dogs. ~I discovered such a passion for animals that I decided to go to school and major in dog training (from dog sports to behavioural issues) , nutrition, animal behaviour, training, and health care for 3 years in Sweden. ~I've had multiple internships at doggie day cares/boardings and kennels all around Sweden and Ireland. I have worked with veterinarians where I've assisted during surgeries. ~I started my own business when I was 15 where I groomed dogs, trained agility/obedience, and taking dogs on adventurous day trips during my summer breaks. ~A special skill of mine is walking 9 dogs at once no matter what size, breed or age. ~For dogs that are nervous or shy - I have a lot of patience and I can easily go to their level and start to slowly build a connection with them. It's very important to me to build a connection with your furry companion to create a positive experience and to provide comfort for them. ~ My goal is to spread my knowledge throughout America to help dog owners to raise and teach their furry friends in a positive way. Animals have and will always be my biggest passion. My work hours at PetSmart as a full time dog trainer - the hours I will not be available are: Mon-Wed: 1PM - 8:30PM Sat: 9:30AM - 5:30PM Sun: 10:30AM - 6:30PM I have a one story single family home with a medium fenced yard. I live in a secure gated community with beautiful walking trails. All pets that I take care of receive a tremendous amount of attention, exercise, and care.

“We always appreciate how easy it is to communicate with Don regarding our dog's stay. And we appreciate the pictures and updates of our dog while he's there. Highly recommend.”

“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.”

“Jackson was straightforward to deal with. Responsive to phone or email contact. We had a pre-meet-up to get acquainted and then dropped Bentley off on the "leave off" day. He was anxious about our leaving, but Jackson was kind enough to send pictures of his stay for the couple of days he was there. All in all, it was a pleasant experience for Bentley, and we seemed to adjust perfectly. :-)”

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.
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. 😊”
“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!”

“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!”

“Ruby is absolutely phenomenal. She takes such good care of Max and he always goes on fun little adventures like rollerskating or long walks. He comes home happy and tired just how I like.”

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. 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.
