Aiden and his partner were extremely reliable, friendly and professional. They did an immaculate job caring for our young pup and taking care of our spot will we were on vacation! We would love to host them again anytime!
Catherine has a lovely house, very comfortable, clean and tidy, a great location with Restaurants, Pubs and a Co-op all within walking distance. On arrival Catherine went through all we needed to know about Salem and our stay. Salem was a delight to look after and super easy to take care of. He always let’s you know when he wants to go outside or come back in. At night Salem especially likes company and enjoy’s all the attention and cuddles that you can give him. He is definitely great company to have around and was an absolute pleasure to look after. We would be very keen to come back and look after Salem in the future if the opportunity arises. Thanks once again for a wonderful stay. Teresa and Mike
David, Thank you both for an amazing time! This was an amazing sit filled with lovely pets! Their home is chic and neatly attended. What warm and caring pet parents they are. They are so hospitable with clear instructions and communication. They made me feel at home in every way! Cleo was a joy to watch, and I missed her company when I left so much. Paris and Jersey are such fun. They are quiet and affectionate once they feel comfortable with you, as they make the rarest of appearances from their daily naps. I would definitely recommend this sit to anyone. Nice quiet neighborhood as well.
Rose and Terry were very warm and welcoming and their home is super comfortable. Meg and Murphy are a delight and we thoroughly enjoyed caring for them. The area is lovely and the steam train to Minehead most entertaining. Thank you Rose and Terry for the tickets!
We really enjoyed our 10 days with Lucy, she’s a well behaved relaxed and happy lady. Our beach walks were the highlight of our stay, long walks along the beach with Lucy having fun seeking sticks and putting them in the water. Amanda & Gordon welcomed us into their beautiful home and made us feel at home. We hope to sit Lucy again sometime. Jan & Greg
Jason and I had a wonderful time at Chris and Merren's beautiful home and caring for Sally and Scout. Communication prior and during the sit was easy, friendly and prompt. Merren asked if we could extend our stay to the 4th October and gave us plenty of notice, which we were more than happy to do. Their home is very inviting. Its clean, tidy, light and cool, which was definitely a bonus since we had some 35°C days. There is air conditioning and ceiling fans but found they weren't necessary. The bed is extremely comfortable and the guest room is very spacious. The home is in a lovely leafy quiet area which is great for walks. It's close to supermarkets, cafes, pubs, clubs and restaurants an only 20mins by car to the city. Sally and Scout were an absolute pleasure to care for. They have a routine for meals which makes feeding time a breeze. Sally is the sweetest little girl and will be you shadow. She walks well on lead and is good with other dogs. We were very tempted to sneak her back home with us but I think Merren and Chris would notice 🤣 Scout is independent but cuddly when Sally isn't chasing her around the house. She enjoyed her quiet time with us after Sally had gone to bed. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would happily house sit for Merren and Chris in the future if the opportunity arose 🥰

We are so thankful for Desert WAGZ! Dawn is extremely reliable and trustworthy. You can tell she has a passion for taking care of animals. My pups are my babies and I don’t just leave them in the hands of anyone while we are away, but with Dawn I feel very comfortable and at ease knowing my pups are in great hands. She provides us with constant updates of the pups via text, videos and photos. My dogs love Desert WAGZ! She has been our go to for the past few years.
Dawn Is the best dog expert out there. Our little Pako loves to be with her when we leave town. She keeps us up-to-date with how our little guy is doing and sends us plenty of cute pictures. If you're looking for someone who is great with dogs Dawn is the best choice to watch your furry kids
I highly recommend Dawn and Desert Wagz for pet care and services she provides. I’ve used Desert Wagz for two years for dog walking, house visits, pet sitting and transportation to grooming and Vet appointments. Being physically challenged with frequent medical stays, I wanted a dependable and trustworthy pet service that met my needs. Also, at times, my pups faced illness and injuries that made traditional daycare and boarding impractical, and being large energetic dogs, didn’t always fit in easily. Dawn walked, fed, played, gave treats and visited my pets. She drove them to grooming, her boarding facility and even a vet visit when I was unable, exceeding my expectations. She offers a high level of professionalism and dog related know how and even offered positive training and feeding tips for my two rescued rambunctious Labradors- a true dog whisperer for sure. Using good judgement and experience, Dawn does whatever it takes to provide the best possible care for my pets, and they could not be happier when she does. They are always excited to see Dawn because they know good times are coming. Dawn is extremely conscientious of their welfare and my pups are healthy, happier and more relaxed to show for it. And, so am I.
You need a great Dog Boarding service? look no further than Desert WAGZ! Dawn, the owner, has been great for our Dog Dusty! He was very skittish when first introduced but now he gets extremely excited when he sees Dawn. She is great dog whisperer as she has a great connection with the dogs. I am so happy to have someone I can leave Dusty with when I'm out of town and feel very comfortable.
As soon as i opened door, owners personal dogs unleashed and barking at my dog. Just chaotic. Pay out was via Venmo. Lady took my dog and someone in back trimmed her nails. I normally like to see who’s doing my dogs nails. I had trouble with my phone, no reception, so paying via Venmo was super inconvenient. I asked if i could pay with card, they said no. I mean the visit could have been worse. I will not be going again tho. Not organized and I’d rather find another place.
Dog Whisperer ! We have been using Dawns services for well over year and Ace loves her and you can really see her passion for dogs. She knows just what to do-is reliable a, responsible and can understand his emotions and has great recommendations! WE trust her with our anxious pup and she makes him comfortable always!
Desert Wagz, Dawn, was recommended to us for boarding. I am always apprehensive because my dogs seemed traumatized after an experience years ago and since then I've tried to find someone familiar to keep them when we go out of town. Of course, this isn't always possible. So when we found Dawn I was at first nervous but she scheduled a meet and greet. My 2 dogs loved her instantly. When she came to pick them up they went with her without hesitation. When we came back they were happy and seemed genuinely well adjusted. They have been difficult when it comes to feeding but Dawn said they ate every meal. They were not finicky when we returned. We have hired her several times now and my dogs do not even look back when she walks them to her car. She truly is a dog whisperer.
I’ve used Desert Wagz for several years and they have gained our trust with (Bubba). We use Dawn(desert wagz owner) every year to sit our dog for 3 weeks while we go out of the country. It’s been a mission to find a good place to sit our Bubba. I’ve used multiple places and I have to say most are not as they described. You would think local known Animal hospital would be the best option but no. Our Bubba is 11 yrs old now and we wouldn’t leave him anywhere else. Dawn show’s professionalism and great experience.
Dawn is amazing! She takes such good care of my dogs. I have no worries when she is watching them. She is reliable and flexible. Always there to walk them or board them when I need her to. My dogs truly enjoy spending time with her. I highly recommend.
I brought in my two doggies for grooming at Desert Wagz and the experience was great! I have one large GS/Doberman puppy and one small Chihuahua/terrier senior. My large puppy was timid considering it was his first-ever professional grooming experience. They accommodated him and made sure he was as comfortable as possible. They were also very knowledgeable about which nails to trim and which to leave alone. It's so nice to have more animal services in DHS. I highly recommend Desert Wagz!
If you are looking for somewhere to bring your fur baby STOP! Look no further! Kamp Kelly is a doggie paradise and Kelly is a dream! We were going out of town for a couple of days and were stressed about where to leave our little guy, Simba. My husband found Kamp Kelly on Google and the reviews truly speak for themselves. I called Kelly and we had a short chat about the itinerary of our trip and a little bit about Simba, then we made a date to do an in person meet up at Kamp. Simba did really well and I knew I was going to have zero issues leaving him with her. Kelly sent me pictures everyday of the little things Simba was doing throughout his stay. My kids really loved that! She has so many areas where the dogs can lay out in the sun or in the house. Little doggie pools to cool off in this desert heat. It’s truly their own little resort! Kelly has great communication and keeps in contact with you even before you drop off just to make sure you are still on for the dates you spoke of. Overall we had the best experience and when the next time comes that we need to go out of town, I will definitely be calling Kelly to watch over our boy! Thank you again for everything, Kelly! You’re a gem!
I recently left my dog, Coco, at Kamp Kelly while I traveled outside the US to meet my parents for a few weeks. Kelly, who runs the Kamp, was incredibly friendly, cordial, and professional. She sent me daily pictures of Coco, which kept me at ease, knowing my furry friend was happy and well cared for. Kamp Kelly has ample space, and it was a delight to see Coco posing in a new nook every day. Coco had a fantastic time, made some new friends, and made unforgettable memories. I will use Kamp Kelly again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a safe and beautiful place to leave their dog. Kelly’s attention to detail and genuine care for pets is truly commendable!
We have been leaving our dog (Roo) for stays at Kamp Kelly for the last 3 years and feel very fortunate to be able to do so. Kelly is a crazy dog-lover who has effectively given over and converted her home into a boutique dog hotel with multiple indoor and outdoor spaces that the dogs can explore and play freely, along with a bunch of comfy beds for when they’re exhausted from a long day chasing each other. She’s constantly updating and upgrading to maintain and improve the spaces. Kelly seems to be quite discriminating about the dogs she’ll accept - insisting that the pack comprise of compatible dogs - in terms of both size and temperament. When we arrive at KK, Roo jumps up to affectionately greet Kelly and then runs straight in to meet the other dogs without looking back. We get frequent texts with pix of the dogs playing and sleeping which is comforting (all the attached pix came from Kelly). The most gratifying thing to see is our little darling dog visibly torn between coming home again with us and staying with Kelly. If I was a dog - I’d insist on staying at KK’s boutique resort…..
We were thrilled with the care and treatment our dog, Winston, received during his visit to KampKelly. Kelly’s business was set up in her home and yard with several areas where the dogs could freely go. While we were gone, we received many photos to relieve our separation anxiety. He loved this space so much, that when we returned, he was in no rush leave! Thanks, Kelly! John and Peggy Semrad
My dogs get excited to go to Kamp Kelly! For them it’s like an extended stay at a dog park. They get to interact w other dogs of similar size and good temperament. And Kelly herself makes sure they have a great time… acting herself as the pack leader. The dogs love and respond well to that interaction. The facility is truly dog heaven! So much to do! So much fun for them. Kelly designed it from a dog’s perspective. That’s why they get excited to go here. No fear! Just excitement. They even get to pick their own cozy place to sleep at night. It’s given me my life back… the ability to travel a bit with peace of mind! I care so much for my two babies that it was otherwise hard to leave them anywhere. Thank you Kelly for that! And for taking such good care of my best friends. Kamp Kelly is dog paradise!
I just returned from an 8 day vacation out of the country and this is the 2nd time I have used Kamp Kelly. I highly recommend her if you are looking for a safe, non caged place for your fur baby. Her compound is all made for dogs, very clean, little paths, play areas, lots of dog beds and just a fun pet boarding facility. She sends pictures daily of your pet and I am a paranoid pet owner and can’t imagine leaving him in a cage at a kennel. I can tell my dog had a great time when I picked him up. Thank you Kelly for making me have piece of mind while on vacation and I will only use her in the future.
Kelly is great! She took care of my dog, Finn for an entire week and he had a blast. Kamp Kelly’s is a little dog resort! Great rate too! Highly recommend!
Kelly and Kamp Kelly saved our trip! Family took a last minute trip from LA area to Palm Springs. On the 2.5 hour drive we were 20 minutes away from arriving at our hotel when we discovered we booked the one hotel option that didn’t allow pets. (We were only looking at hotels that allowed pets but somehow decided on JW Marriott, which wasn’t part of our list, last second and didn’t check the pet policy 😬) Started searching for pet boarding and Kamp Kelly came up first. 9pm on a Saturday night we gave her a call and she answered! Said we could bring DJ first thing in the morning. Brought DJ the next morning and he relaxed instantly. DJ is normally clingy and always has his defenses up. He never tried to come back to me or beg to be carried, which he always does when he is someplace unfamiliar. (We had to sneak him into our hotel room for the night and he kept trying to leave the whole night. He couldn’t get settled so leaving him alone there would never have worked.) I knew then he would be okay at Kamp Kelly which made the trip great for us knowing that he was in good hands. Kelly kept us updated the whole time via text message and Instagram photos. We were able to share Kamp Kelly’s Instagram page with some family members and they got to see what a great time DJ was having also. We will use Kamp Kelly from now on. Her love for dogs shines through. As much as we love DJ with us he clearly had a great getaway trip as well. Instead of being in a hotel room alone while we hung at the hotel pool, he got to lounge at Kamp Kelly’s pool with Kelly and his new canine friends. Thank you Kelly for taking such good care of DJ!
Our pup had a great staycation at Kamp Kelly. Kelly was easy to book with and sent pictures during his stay. You can tell she really cares for all her "guests". I will book with her again!
Our dog Ellie spent a long weekend here when we were in town for a wedding. Kelly took great care of her and made us feel comfortable sending us pictures throughout the weekend!
I absolutely love this place and would not take my Coco any other place! Last time my Coco was being difficult and that di not matter because they are Angels here with so much patience! To the lady that wrote the negative review stating that there was no water here well your just totally wrong. They have multiple watering station that get changed and cleaned multiple times during the day! Your just plain wrong! Look forward to the next visit with these outstanding Angels for our precious fur babies!
Mr.Leo loves coming here the staff is so nice and they always do such a great job with him went ahead and added a before and after personally we like to keep Mr.Leo with the minimum hair due to the heat since summer is right around the corner 🩵 …
Wow! Fantastic! Highly Recommend!! Great communication through the whole process! They take their time and only stop at perfection! Take a look at the photos and you’ll see the Amazing detail and natural-looking blends on Tater’s ears, legs, body, and face. It may take slightly longer to groom a dog depending on the dog’s age, patience, previous grooming experience, cut complexity, etc., but they will go as slow as they need to or stop and let the dog play for a little while so the dog doesn’t ever get overwhelmed or have a poor experience. Tater is still fairly young and can get overwhelmed at times in new situations, but not at Claws N Paws! This was Tater’s first visit and he was having fun playing with other puppies in between services, and loves the calm, loving, and gentle environment. Don’t miss out ( or confuse their name with other businesses ) you’ll be glad you gave them a call to schedule your dog’s next spa day!
This place is AMAZING!! I have a very difficult dog for nail trims. Its always been traumatic, until i found this place. All the women are so nice and it was a calm experience for the Tnt. Already had 2nd nail trim. So glad my dog is happier with this experience.
Continued excellence with this place! Michelle does a fantastic job with my girls! The whole team shows real passion and care each time that we come in. Thank you!
I love this place so much. They are so wonderful trimming my dog’s nails on short notice. The ladies are so good with my nervous dogs. Thank you so much!!
I love taking my babies here to get their nails done .Darlene is amazing and so is the rest of the staff well worth it
These ladies are the best! Darlene takes great care of my Birdie even though she is a bit difficult to be handled, Darlene takes the time to care for her needs and is patient beyond belief with her! The whole crew is great, Birdie prances around like a happy pup after getting her treatment from these ladies! Thank you all, see you again soon ♡
Great ladies who are always smiling and fit us in same day for an afternoon nail trimming. I’ve been here twice and definitely will be back! They do full on grooming too!
they are so sweet and do such a good job here. You can tell they care about and love your dogs. They gave us a certificate, a coupon, and a bag of treats when we picked them up. and special fall themed bandannas.
Christina was amazing with our little dog who tends to be very shy with people she doesn't know. Christina went the extra mile to make sure Kona felt safe and comfortable. By the end of the first day Kona felt like she was with family. We are very particular with our dog, but Christina has earned our absolute trust.
I had such an amazing experience with Joshua Tree Pet Resort. From beginning to end, I cannot explain how seamless and convenient the process was! First of all, let’s talk about Christina! She is the sweetest, kindest person. You can tell she truly enjoys her job/life. It’s always so nice to come across good people like that, especially when you are trusting them with your pets. I have two shihpoos, Keto and Kylo. We take them with us everywhere. We plan vacations around them. However, we wanted to take a Hummer Tour around Joshua Tree - this meant our doggies couldn’t go with us. Only a week before our trip, I had to figure out a daycare thing for the dogs. I came across Joshua Tree Pet Resort and gave them a ring! Christina answered. She patiently explained the pricing and process to me and answered all my questions. She also gave impeccable directions - very detailed. I was confident in getting to her place because of how she explained everything so well and because of the overall experience I had with her over the phone and in simply viewing her website! Once we arrived to her place, another couple was picking up their dog and we were there to drop off. She has designated times for human interaction so that she can focus on our pets during the other times. We dropped them off and all was well. We came back that same day and there were no issues. Again, everything was so easy, convenient, and smooth! I can’t wait to use her services again!!! We loved visiting Joshua Tree so we know we will definitely come back. Next time, our goal is to have the dogs stay overnight at Christina’s! We definitely trust her. I can’t say enough about this place. Experiences matter nowadays and this was definitely top-notch!
I have a 4 month old corgi that I dropped off to stay with Christina for one night/ 2 full days and my goodness my puppy had a great time. Christina was quick to respond and sent us updates with pictures/videos every few hours. She was extremely kind and you could tell her and her family are huge dog lovers. She made us feel very comfortable leaving our fur friend for the night while we enjoyed the park for the weekend. He was definitely in good hands.
Christina and JT pet resort are amazing. She always goes above and beyond to ensure your pup is well taken care of while away. She will be sure to send pictures of your dogs stay and update you regularly with how they are doing. Our dog absolutely loves going to JT pet resort is eager to see Christina. She really does treat your dog as if it was her own.
Joshua Tree Resort is awesome! They took our puppy for two days so we could enjoy the National Park. Daisy was happy - and exhausted - from her fun day playing with the other dogs. We appreciated the kind care they provided and for keeping Daisy safe in the hot weather! Best decision we made!
I can't say enough positive things about this place!! I have a pup who can be a bit nervous in new places. Christina completely understood and offered to do a meet and greet before the official stay -- it went great! My dog was so excited to go back there for a 3 night stay where she made lots of friends! Christina was considerate with making sure to maintain our dogs schedule/daily habits and included her in all activities throughout the day. I appreciate the VIP package offered as it allowed my dog to get the feeling of being in a home away from home. Christina is great at communicating and was open to me reaching out to check in, sharing pictures and videos when she had time. It is very clear that being with animals is Christina's passion. We will ABSOLUTELY be using her services again! A quick pic that was sent to us during her stay there, having the time of her life!
We were in need of a last minute dog sitter during our short visit to Joshua Tree National Park. I came across their info, not sure if they would be able to accommodate us on such short notice and to our delight, Christina was able to take my senior dachshund. She and her family treated my dog like their own, giving her extra attention due to her senior needs. I felt so comfortable dropping her off, which is conveniently located on the same road to one of the park entrances. I am so glad I stumbled across their info and took a chance on giving them a call less than a day before I needed their services. We were able to enjoy more of the park, which has very limited dog friendly access. And, my dog was given lots of TLC!
This place and the owner (Christina) are awesome!! We needed a place to bring our lil pup a few times a week so that he could play with other dogs and get some of that energy out. After LOTS of research, I found the perfect environment - it was EXACTLY what I was looking for. I wanted a home away from home for my lil guy and they were able to provide this. I LOVE this place SO SO much and I'm so thankful that we have this amazing pet resort in Joshua Tree!!
A very good place for daycare and boarding! It was really easy to book the day with Christina. She took great care of our dog Moka while we were hiking in the park. They have a great place with a big yard for dogs. She sent us pictures of the day. We recommend!
My cockatiel Piper had a wonderful stay. Christina was extremely kind and responsive. She is obviously a true animal lover. My pet was relaxed in her care. This is truly a wonderful service.
Barkingham Pet Hotel is the best place for grooming my Yorkie Terrier Charlie Terrones loves it here, Jacqueline Fields is a top notch groomer Charlie and I highly recommend. All the employees are cheerful and gentle with my little dog he fills safe and treated with care when here. I drive 15 miles and worth every mile. Thank you, for so kind to my pet.
I boarded my German Shepherd for 2 nights. I checked on him several times via phone during his stay. They said he was fine just being a little picky about eating. When I picked him up he was so sick I had to take him to the vet that day. Vomiting continuously, diarrhea, very low energy. I will NEVER take or recommend Barkingham "luxury" pet hotel nor use their services again. It took him over 2 weeks to recover.
Our Min Pin/Chihuahua mix loves Barkingham Pet Hotel! And we love it too. Our Autumn gets the best care and lots of time to run around and play time with other dogs her size. I also am very impressed with the security of facility. I don't have to worry about Autumn getting loose and running away.
I was so nervous about leaving my little boy for boarding. Being that he’s never stayed overnight anywhere because he suffers form separation anxiety. But I have to say he had a wonderful time, he played and got lots of love and cuddles. Sabrina sent me updates with cute photos of how he was doing. I so appreciate that she did that, it made me feel so much better about leaving him in their care. I would 100% recommend them for boarding. Thank you everyone for taking such excellent care of Hershey and a special thanks to Sabrina who has always been so kind and sending updates.
Brian and Bella have always done very well boarding with Barkingham Palace… Brian’s tenure started when he was rescued by a local organization and was being socialized in preparation for being adopted. Kudos to Barkingham for the service they provide to numerous animals here in the Coachella Valley! 💖🐩🐕 …
We used to love this place, but had a bad experience where a groomer actually clipped the end of our Yorkie’s ear off then tried to arrange the fur so it wouldn’t show. She said she “nicked” it. This was 2 years ago and we’ve never been back. Had another bad experience where their groomer was late for work and they rescheduled us, then when we showed up at the new time they tried to say we were late. Sorry. Bad consumer service and care.
I can’t say enough about Barkingham. I’ve been using them for about 10 years. And always have had a great experience. My dogs can’t wait to get to go inside. And they are always greeted with kisses. And all the incredible people that work there.
My two dogs loved this place. It was so beautiful and clean. The background of the mountains behind them. It’s like dogs playing in paradise! My dogs were running in and When I pick them up they were very happy. The staff was so nice there, i highly recommended Barkingham pet hotel in Palm Springs! When we go back we will definitely bring them every day there. A plus!
I don’t live in the area but I will make the drive to drop off my precious Nyla cause she can’t just go anywhere and she has to feel comfortable with the place. I love that her room had a camera so I can watch her.
We boarded our Maltese here in the past and no issues. He is 12 years old now and they informed us that they will not board him any longer as he is a "senior dog"'. This is an amazingly myopic and mean spirited policy that does not take into account the varying aging process for different breeds, not to mention large versus small breeds and the health of the dog itself. Given what they charge, this is kind of obnoxious and arrogant.
We had a last-minute trip to Palm Springs and our condo didn't accept pets, so Debra came to our rescue. From beginning to end, she was easy to communicate with, made pick-up/drop-off very easy, and provided frequent updates throughout out pup's stay. You could tell how much she loved taking care of her guests and making sure they felt comfortable in every way. We would highly recommend Doggie Heaven B&B to anyone in the Palm Springs area!
Debra is the kindest and most compassionate floofer caretaker. If you're looking for day care or boarding more akin to leaving your dog with a friend or family member as opposed to a high volume overstimulating kennel, look no further. Our guy runs on the anxious and shy side yet, after a few days of boarding came back happy and well rested which I can confirm is only possible with exceptional care from a true dog lover and great environment. Thanks Debra!
I give this place a 5 star because Debra is really caring for all the dogs. I really appreciate the updates and pictures that she sends. My dog gets pretty anxious sometimes but he doesn't hesitate when I bring him to Debra. I like that they are not in the kennel and free to move about and my dog is used to doing that at home. He always looked like he's having a great time. I brought my dog to her twice already on different occasions and the first time I contacted her it was a last minute and late at night but she was really flexible and she agreed to care for my dog for a couple of nights. We're not from Palm Springs but will definitely keep coming back to Doggie Heaven whenever we're in town. I definitely recommend her to anybody that wants a real loving person to care for their fur babies.
I lost my pet sitter last minute before a 3 night trip to the Palm Springs area. I found Debra off of Yelp and she instantly got back to me. Her texting process for booking a reservation was fantastic. Text threads are the way to go! I am a very nervous pet parent and am always worried about my miniature schnauzer. I have boarded her at larger boarding facilities and she always came back disoriented and not herself. I could tell that is was way too much of a stressful process for her. I went specifically with Debra because it’s a home environment and she only takes smaller dogs. Her place ended up being a GEM! She was very responsive, friendly, and communicative. She gave me an update after my dog’s first night. She posts tons of pictures on Instagram which was so great. It gave me peace of mind. From the second my dog met her to when we were picking her up, you tell she adored Debra. She is my mini’s friend for life now lol. I will absolutely be using her again and 110% recommend her to anyone looking for pet boarding. Thank you, Debra!!
My little doggy had a blast staying here. It was my first time being away from my dog overnight since she came to my life few years ago. It made a world of difference and provided me with peace of mind by how she posts videos of each dog on her Instagram story. I’ve never seen my girl so happy and calm around other dogs at the same time. Debra took great care of her and I cannot recommend this place highly enough. 🙏🏼
It has always been difficult for me to trust anyone with my dog but Debbie is an exception. I have developed strong trust in Debbie and her care-taking and my dog’s happiness at her care has proven it as well. Debbie has a big heart, loves dogs and understands every need and affection dogs require. Debbie and her dog, Sage are superior host and provide all the love, care and attention you can ask for with your dog. I can always count on Debbie to take good care of my dog and will continue leaving my dog with her when needed. I can assure you that you and your pup will be in good hands with Debbie and her adorable dog, Sage. Thank you Debbie and Sage for being so wonderful!
I was so nervous to leave my dog, who can be very shy and afraid, with someone new. But Debra was AMAZING. She has an uncanny way of connecting with the dogs and making even the shyest of dogs feel right at home right away. She kept me updated via Instagram and I could tell that my sweet Rovie was relaxed and having a great time. It put my mind totally at ease. I can’t recommend her services enough. Thank you SO much Debra!!!!!
Debbie is nothing but amazing when it comes to dog sitting and taking care of our fur babies! We have been using her for 4 years now and every time our dogs stay with her, they are always so happy during AND after their stay! Debbie is quick in communicating and sends us tons of pictures throughout the day for updates on our dogs. She is also so kind & sweet! Our dogs have become BFF’s with her sweet dog Sage! If you need a loving and compassionate person to watch your dogs while you’re in Palm Springs or the Coachella Valley, Debbie is the one!
I had to go out of town for a wedding and my sweet baby gucci could not go. I was nervous to leave her anywhere. I found Debbie on yelp and it was the best find!! She truly loves your fur babies while you are gone. She loves them like her own. She sends multiple pictures throughout the day so you know they are having a great time!! I will always use her when we need to go out of town! She is the absolute best!! Thank you so much Debbie!!
This is my first experience leaving Dover at a daycare and at the moment he met Debra I can see he was thrilled by the way he ran up to her. I appreciated the photos she sent all day and when I picked him up he was still wanting to go back and give her kisses. I know he had a great day and was cared for and loved, which is what I want in a day care. Would definitely use her again.
Great place to have to drop off your dog for the day. You have to drop off by 11 am or you cannot which it sometimes cumbersome. Half day is $28 for under 6 hours. My dog is not the happiest here due to the room is full of dogs and she is not comfortable like that. My dog just walks around with the staff. They have an awesome set up of a Pup can that you can open the app and see your pup. What a blessing;) to see your dog even if you know she’s a little stressed but safe. But sometimes I need to do things like doctors appointments and need a place for her to be safe. The staff are great and seem to love the doggies.
WOW! I have nothing but positive things to say about this company. Staff, so nice friendly and informative. Pricing is very affordable. They provide the perfect solution for my puppy when I need to take my special needs kids on trips. AND most important my dog loves it there!
A friend of mine suggested I bring my rescue here to help socialize him. He was scared or wary of everyone. It took time and while there is no official training they took special care to help meet his needs. The staff are all wonderful with the animals. Going in to see my boy love on Mandy and the other staff members makes me so happy that he can socialize now with both animals and humans. The staff are so great and so caring your dog is in the best hands possible. Tammy runs a wonderful business and I feel that their attention to me is as wonderful as their caring for the animals. I honestly could not say enough about everyone. I should also mention that the environment is impeccably clean. They have an indoor and outdoor area but are weather conscious so when temps are to high they shut that part down and bring them all into the air conditioning. They do not cage the dogs who are boarding but let them sleep where they want to in their sleep room and staff is there with them all night. Even the grooming is good and they pay special attention to the dog and owners needs. I forgot to mention that they plan fun seasonal events for the dogs and you can peak in on them during the day online with their pup cams. Now my boy has a girlfriend and best play pal. Never thought I would ever see that happen but because of village pup my boy is a happy normal pup.
Best doggy daycare/boarding facility ever!! This is my first time away from my puppy for a long period of time and I just received a check in text with pictures about how my dog is doing! Brought me tears of joy to know that he is being loved and taken care of! Best place ever!! Highly recommend! Thank you Auntie Ashley for taking care of my baby!
Excellent Daycare and boarding for dogs. Great owners. Terrific caring staff. Reliable every time.
My two girls, Bella and Annie love daycare and boarding at the Village Pup in Palm Desert. Great caring staff and lots of furry friends.
Our dog loves it there. It's one of the few places she's been and didn't try to follow us out of the door when we leave. It's nice to look at the pup cam and see her playing with other dogs and people. I highly recommend The Village Pup.
My dog loves going to Village Pup. It is clean, the staff is caring and my dog is safe. In summer they have cooling areas. Been taking my dog there for 2 years
Wouldn’t trust anyone else with my fur babies! Great staff that obviously adore our pups!! It’s hard enough to leave them but I get a lot of comfort that they are with “family”.
Great in every aspect from accommodations to the people who all love dogs. Our golden retriever is very social and absolutely enjoys her stays here. I can’t say enough about the entire staff as they have been so helpful, provide fantastic communication, and genuinely take an interest in your pup to get to know all about them and what they enjoy.
Our experience with CV Pets was truly exceptional, thanks to Dianne, who provided outstanding care for our four dogs, including two seniors that required extra attention and love. Her dedication and compassion made our vacation so much more enjoyable, as we could relax knowing our beloved pups were in such capable hands. Upon returning home, we were greeted by happy, healthy dogs, a testament to the wonderful job Dianne did in looking after them.
We have relied on Jennifer, Caren, and the entire team at CV Pets to take care of our two little guys for almost two years now. Whether we are away for a weekend or a long vacation, we always have peace of mind knowing they check in on them. They are reliable, trustworthy, and experienced. And I appreciate the updates after each visit and photos so I know how they are doing.
Janine took wonderful care of my fur baby while i couldn't walk her, training her and coming early in the day to avoid the heat. She was a great friend to my dog and I.
I was very anxious to find someone reliable to take care of my cat Leo while I was out of town, and I am so grateful I found CV Pets! Jennifer and her team were so communicative from day 1, making me feel like they cared about Leo just as much as I did. The daily visit updates with photos just made my day! I am so thankful to have found them, and I truly find myself at ease now when thinking about taking another vacation because I know they will be there help. I highly recommend them to all pet parents in the desert! :)
We have a 17, 7, and 1 year old. And over the years we have had the opportunity to use various teams in support of our pups when we are not at home or traveling. None of them compare to CV Pets through Jennifer and her team. We have been using them for over a year now. They are so attentive and loving to our dogs, but also so very respectful of our home. I believe anyone will be as pleased as we have been. Thank you CV Pets !!!!!
Jen is an amazing person and animal lover. She is not only a wonderful caretaker but also a highly knowledgeable trainer. She goes above and beyond!!! Words that come to mind to describe Jen: devotion, reliability, efficiency, trustworthy. Call her, you won’t regret it.
Update: whenever I travel to the area now I have moved I bring one of my four dogs with me. Since I am traveling for work Jen and her team always are where my beagle daisy goes. Jen is responsible, on time and provide excellent service! Jen has walked my dogs many time’s and has even house sat for them. She is a wonderful reliable and responsible pet caregiver. The dogs are her life and cats as well. It can get hot out here in the desert one day it was 120 degrees she wouldn’t take them out. Instead she used wee wee pads abs gave them extra ice water. And made sure they were cool. I appreciate the extra effort. Recently my fiancé and I travelled from Pennsylvania to visit friends in Coachella Valley. Our dogs Lucy and blackjack stayed with Jen and they were great
Jen & her associates are my go-to folks, we are so lucky to have them taking care of our furry family. We use them for pet sitting services. They come by twice a day promptly, stay for a while, and take great care of our big Mastiff - who can sometimes be a challenge. But her gang has a handle on even our complicated circumstances! We have also used her housesitting services, they left the house immaculately clean. Jen is organized and efficient knowledgeable and on top of it! I’m a veterinarian so I’m pretty picky about who interacts with our dogs, they are awesome!
Jennifer always let me know exactly when she would arrive, took excellent care of my dogs, was very reliable. It was apparent that she truly loves dogs. And the dogs loved here. Got to the point they’d recognize her car pulling up and be ready to run to her. I’d recommend CV Pets anytime!
Jennifer walks our miniature schnauzer three to four times a week. Our dog loves her and Jennifer clearly loves him. She is very trustworthy and she does a great job of letting us know how the walk went. Our dog is 14 and she does a great job of being sensitive to his capabilities. I would highly recommend CV Pets.
Mini had her 1st boarding experience in her 13 years. She was treated like the princess she is with her own room, plenty of other small dogs to visit with the windowed roo off the lobby. She was groomed ($60) and a very happy girl when
Biggie loves The Grand Paw. He comes weekly for daycare and most recently was boarded for over 2 weeks. The staff know him by name and always greet him with excitement. He comes home exhausted from playing with his friends and always looks forward to returning. Thank you to all the staff for all you do.
Our Sasha loves it here and I feel comfortable sending her. They make sure every dog’s vaccines are up to date, even if coming in for grooming only. They also do a temperament test with the new dogs to test how they behave with others. We have been so happy with the level of detail and care.
Pandemic Up Date-The Grand Paw is doing a pretty good job as they work through the issues associated with the COVID Pandemic. They now pick up you dog from the car, you do not go inside at all. They bring your pet out to you in the evening, so it is more-or-less touchless. They also have both masks and sanitizer out in the parking area so that you can sanitize if you like. Good job. But I miss the little shop and talking to the folks while waiting for our dog, Bailey to drag out the poor lad that has to tear him away from his play date. This is the doggy daycare and boarding place in the East Coachella Valley. It has nice facilities and reasonably good hours. They are not real flexible on times and policies. Not a deal as far as pricing goes but seem to take reasonable care of the pets. They have a little pet gift shop, mostly dog oriented full of overpriced things you can’t live without. The grooming function is not the best or least expensive. Ask about purchasing multiple use packages. Tuesday and Thursday they have pool time for Fido if your dog is so inclined. Separate small and large dog areas. They charge $25 bucks to qualify your dog’s behavior before you can bring him. Have all your shot information ready.
What a wonderful staff. I feel so comfortable and trust them to babysit my four legged family member. When leaving pets behind when circumstances require a helping hand - This is the place!
Our dog spent 5 days a this facility and he was bitten, wounds open when we picked him up. We were not told, until we contacted the facility, and replied with a typical template to respond to a complaint. Until today not a curtesy response. Disappointed, and furious, above all the rate charged, you will think your pet will be taken care of.
Brian, Ricky, and the rest of the staff are amazing. My wife and I have a 20 year relationship with this business and Brian and Ricky. We can’t say enough good things about the customer service and how they treat our pups. I wish I could give them 10 stars
Great Facility! We went in a week prior to our pup staying there for a tour and a temperament test, the staff was very friendly and welcoming. When we dropped our pup off for her stay she was excited to be there again. She was happy when we picked her up and quickly fell asleep when we got home. The grand paw is reasonably priced and I highly recommend! Thank you Grand paw for taking care of Cocoa!
I was so happy with The Grand Paw and so were my two kittys. They had a comfy room with plenty of time to play and lounge in. Also they posted pictures of my babies for me to see so I could know 5hey were doing well as I missed them. I will definitely board with them again when I need to in the future.
If you have large dogs this is THE place. Our dogs are bigger and they absolutely love it here. There is plenty of space for them to run around. Any staff we’ve ever encountered is always so friendly and seems to truly love being around dogs! It definitely seems like our dogs’ happy place. Our dogs have never been sick after a boarding and they always come home clean and EXHAUSTED! It is worth every penny. We also love just dropping them off for a play day. Swim days are also awesome. They have an in the ground pool and one of our dogs absolutely loves it!
Montgomery Pet Sitters has done a wonderful job taking care of our cat, Shadow. Stephan texts pictures and updates when he visits which helps us feel comfortable our family member is happy.
I had to travel out of state. Stephen maintained peace of mind for me when he stayed at my house as he provided frequent updates, including photos. My dogs were happy when I returned and the house was in great shape. I will certainly use their house sitting services again!
Montgomery Pet Sitters took good care of my pets while I was gone. I received daily updates including pictures. When an emergency occurred at my house in form of a water main rupture, this was also addressed in a professional manner that gave me peace of mind thousands of miles away.
Montgomery Pet sitters is amazing. He loves his furry little friends. He has done so much to help my little little girl. She has been going through a lot health wise and he is always there if I need him. Thank you Montgomery Pet Sitters and thank you Stephan for helping me keep my baby healthy.
Montgomery Pet Sitters ' professionalism and attention to detail mean no surprises for the client. Plus, Stephan has an amazing gift for understanding each pet's personality and making sure they are secure and happy...spoiled in the healthiest way! I have used their dogwalking and daycare services and will certainly do so again. Edna 🐕 has made me promise!
Stephan goes above and beyond for his little furry clients. Pickle is in Love with him and we know that she is in safe and caring hands when we entrust her to him. All I can say is Thank You. And Pickle says thank you too!
We were so relieved to find Montgomery Pet Sitters in Palm Springs! We had a day trip event which didn't allow pets and were in a bind- but Stephan took our little pup in for the day and was wonderful. Safe spot and a great location! Thank you!
What a wonderful experience! We needed a half day sitter for our little 12lb pup for a day trip to the area. We were able to get a spot last minute (day before) with ease. Our girl was happy and calm when we returned. He walked her and sent beautiful pictures with updates. I would 10/10 recommend this sitter and plan to use him again on my next trip. ❤️
My fiancé and I couldn’t be happier with Stephan’s service. His professionalism is unrivaled by any other pet sitter in the Palm Springs area and his genuine love of animals will assuage any worries one has when leaving their pets. Each day that we were gone Stephan provided us w/humorous yet detailed summaries of his visit, and accompanied the updates with playful photos of our little critters. Can’t recommend highly enough and will definitely be using his services again in the future!
We were in the area for a week and brought our puppy. Juliette came to our house each day to play with him and let him out and look after him. She was extremely responsive and easy to communicate with. I cannot recommend her enough. Our puppy loved her and she was so sweet with him. (Spoiler: she takes unbelievable photos of their time together!!)
The owner Lori is exceptionally caring with all of her fur babies! When we went on our 7 day vacation we received humorous and heartfelt video and photo updates every single day. In each photo our dachshund was smiling so big all of his teeth were showing! She is organized, professional and wonderful to work with. We are so relieved that there is a local boarder/day care program that only takes in dogs 20lbs and under! Thank you Lori for being a trustworthy person to leave our family members with! I would recommend to anyone!
Lori is AMAZING! She takes care of all dogs like if they were hers, thats how much she cares and loves them. I'm so happy we found Bonzais Bark because my Lucas loves to go on play date and boarding.
LOVE LOVE LOVE Bonzai's doggy daycare!!! Rosie has found lifelong friends and learned how to get along with all kinds of dogs. Lori is amazing and has set up such a well organized place for fun. Rosie has also stayed with her long term and thoroughly enjoyed herself. So glad I found her when we moved to town.
ABSOLUTELY THE BEST DOG SITTING EXPERIENCE I HAVE EVER HAD! Seriously... I can't give one complaint. Laurie would message me pictures throughout the day- not a bunch but enough. My dog seemed happy and clean. When I picked him up he was not overheating or thirsty. He didn't rush to me like he needed to he saved. Laurie was responsive to messages, she seems to love dogs and happy with taking them! Her house was clean and smelled great. I mean it's like everything I looked for was done exceptionally well. I will for sure be taking Indy back there!
Lori was absolutely the best person we could have dreamed of to leave our 16 year old miniature Labradoodle Dee Dee with!!! We were in Palm Desert for 12 days and knew we were going to be playing many rounds of golf along with a day trip to Disneyland. We really didn't want to leave Dee Dee in the house we were staying at all alone for 8+ hours a day so my husband did some research ahead of time and found Bonzai's Bark. After reviewing Lori's website, everything LOOKED great, so we arranged for a meet and greet the day before we actually wanted to start leaving Dee Dee with Lori. LOVED her, her backyard and indoors for the pups and her "dog sense" ... she has a total understanding of what they really did need while they were away from their owners ... we felt very comfortable leaving Dee Dee the next day while we played golf. Lori texted us several times, throughout the day, to say Dee Dee was doing fine and even sent pictures! The rest of the trip we continued to use Lori and even had Dee Dee spend the night on the day we drove to Disneyland and back. She was at Lori's a total of 6 times over 12 days ... She did great! Lori is awesome ... we wish we could find someone like her back home here in Federal Way, WA .... thanks again, Lori, for being our dog's best friend!
Lori does an amazing job when watching our furry children. On extended stays, my wife and I can enjoy our time together without having to worry about our boy’s safety or well being. I highly recommend using BonZai’s Bark for a day stay or longer.
Thank you so much Lori, for caring for my precious fur baby. Lori is very professional, kind, loving and my dog was well cared for. She even sent pictures throughout the week letting me know how much fun they were having. BonZai’s Bark should be everyone’s go to place for dog boarding, and or doggy daycare. Thanks again.
I have been bringing my dog to Lori for over a year and can’t say enough great things about her! I travel often and leave my little love with her for quick weekend trips or weeklong stays. He loves it there! Lori is so loving and fun with my dog, and is great at communicating. I get updates on his day and awesome pictures that let me know he is safe and happy. She is so kind, easy going and very flexible. I am always at ease when I leave my boy with her, and I know he loves going to see her. She’s the best! I highly recommend her services.
Lori is amazing! I have been utilizing her service for almost a year and have been super pleased!! I always have peace of mind knowing that my pup is receiving the best care and having fun too! Lori is very good at sending pics which I always look forward to! I highly recommend using her service. You won’t be disappointed!!
Lori is amazing!! I had serious anxiety about leaving my 8 month old puppy, but she took all that away. Tbone spent a week with her while we vacationed. Thanks to Lori's loving care we all had a great time, especially Tbone. He came home one happy healthy pup! She taught him how to interact with other dogs, an invaluable lesson. He will be spending time at Miss Lori's on a regular basis! I dropped him off today for the afternoon and he ran right to her, he couldn't wait to give her kisses!
