Kathryn was amazing. She helped me figure plans out after another sitter dropped out at the last minute and saved the day! My cat and fish were well taken care of, and she was super communicative when my tank had a problem child moment. Would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, helpful, and caring sitter!!
Joi did a wonderful job caring for my two cats and two guinea pigs, as well as caring for my home! She is coming back in November for a long sit while I am out of the country and we all can’t wait. Joi had experience with rabbits and jumped right in with guinea pig care. She is so calm around them that they were sitting on her lap day one! She spent time preparing their vegetables and kept their enclosure and room clean, which requires daily effort. She even washed the floor mats in their room so it was fresh when I returned home. She went above and beyond sending me daily photos and videos so I could see that everyone was healthy and happy. It was apparent to me that she spent a lot of time with my pets, which is very important so they don’t become stressed and lonely when I am away. Joi also took excellent care of my two cats. They receive daily wet food with some medication and she ensured that they received it on time. My cats barely noticed when I returned because they got so much attention from Joi. She took excellent care of my front garden flowers and my tomato and herb hydroponic gardens. These take some daily attention and time in the summer, and I returned home to them looking great! Joi is a very caring, clean, and thoughtful sitter and I hope she comes back many more times!
Elisabeth was an excellent sitter for our cat. We were away for two weeks and received daily photos and notes from her about Catman's activities (i.e., sleeping and eating). She is definitely a cat lover and that was evident from our cat's calm behavior when we returned.
We literally cannot say enough positive things about Susan and Miranda! They are the best! From start to finish, they did an amazing job communicating with us, giving our 3 (somewhat needy) cats extremely high quality care and tons of attention, and keeping our house clean and plants watered. They took adorable pictures of the cats and sent them to us several times a day, played with them and gave them so much love and affection, and when we got home the house was even cleaner than when we left. We even asked them for some tips on how they were caring for the cats because our cats seemed happier and more relaxed than ever when we returned home to them! This was by far our best cat/house sitter experience to date. We hope Susan and Miranda are available again in the future to sit for us and would invite them back without hesitation.
Wow, what a find Justin is! I feel as though I won a lottery. As I was revelling in the communication we were having during his stay, I looked over his profile and realized either that he had updated it during his stay OR I never even read it. I was so impressed with his initial application that described multiple stays taking care of cats in Turkey that I knew he was going to be a great choice. So I'm not sure that I even read his profile or reviews. Turned out...he was more than I could have EVER hoped for. Justin is VERY organized and clear with his communication. Just as--or maybe more--important, he is a poster child for what zeewoi can be: more than just an economical way to get a pet sitter or a place to stay. Justin embraces the barter economy and the opportunity it presents to get to know people. Although we only met the day that I turned the house and my 2 cats over to his care, we had delightful communication throughout his stay. He wanted to be sure he was providing the right care to all living and non-living elements of my home as well as just chat beyond what we'd had an opportunity to cover when we were face to face on the handoff day. Bottom line: I'd have Justin back even if I wasn't going anywhere! I've met a friend. And my neighbors did as well! Oh yes, and my two cats were well looked after, the house was in ship shape, and Justin was able to brief the next sitter in person (I'd had to extend my time away and Justin already had another commitment). To say I felt confident leaving my pets and home in Justin's care is an understatement. Justin is a real adventurer and believer in the power of both human and animal connection. Without a doubt, I would recommend him as a sitter...and a friend! Thank you, Justin for a great example of how to wrestle so much more meaning out of zeewoi.
Jenny was an absolute delight, lovely to speak to and patient with last minute changes. I have had bad experiences with trusting people with my cats before so was really anxious as Jenny is the first house sitter I have used from zeewoi. But, I felt at ease as soon as I spoke to her, she has a lovely manner and she came round the day before the sit to male sure she had every detail right. But I think the thing that helped the most was her regular updates about my cats. I could see from the videos she sent they were given lots of love and attention. My cats don't usually play with people but my little girl seemed to love her! My flat was immaculate when I got back as well, I am so grateful to Jenny for all her help and really hope to have her sit for me again!
Anna was a wonderful sitter for our furry friends. My dog, Luke, bonded with her and was sad when she left. My cats would crawl under the covers and curl up with her at night. She is a true animal magnet and lover. I highly recommend Anna to anyone who wants their pets to recieve first class love while away.
Florence is everything you want in a cat sitter! We have two cats that need a lot of human attention. One takes multiple medications twice a day and they both are used to eating on their own schedule and having people around so it is always very important to us to find a pet sitter that will be spending a lot of time in the apartment and that doesn't mind being very attentive. We were able to meet Florence before our trip and felt 100% confident that she would take great care of our cats. Florence is comfortable giving medication, she sent us photos and updates and left our apartment spotless. We were so happy that we had her come back the following week when we went away again for a short trip! We will definitely contact Florence again whenever we travel and hope that she is available!
Tonya was great and filled in after our other sitter had to cancel. She was very self sufficient and navigated acclimating herself to everything since she arrived after we left. She gave thoughtful updates on my cat and I could tell she really enjoyed her, so that means the world to me! She left the place immaculate and we will certainly have Tonya back!
Steven was a great sitter for our black lab Souris and cat Pinot. They were well looked after and really liked Steven. Our house was in good order when we got back and Steven was kind enough to give us a lift to and from the airport. He was very flexible, arriving day early so we could show him around.
Is it better to board cats or leave at home?
Veterinarians advising to leave cats at home with a pet sitter who will stay overnight in your home, boarding is not recommended for cats as they are stressed in a new environment, you can find a sitter who will care for your cats and home overnight at Sittsy.
How much should you pay someone to watch your cat?
At least 20$ per visit, $35/week per overnight watching in your home, otherwise you can find a free sitter at Sittsy.
What do people do with their cats when they go on vacation?
Inviting a cat sitter to your home, boarding the cat with a local business, asking a friend, family or neighbour to feed and check the well-being. The most efficient way to leave your cat during your vacation is with Sittsy cat sitters overnight, in this way, you will save cat sitting costs and make vacation not only for you but also for your cat sitter!
Thoughtful, pet loving, just great. Any time I leave town, I give these guys a call. I've used them twice now when I had to be gone for more than a week. I feel 100% comfortable with my girls in their care. Thanks for your great service, Elite Pet Care, Palm Springs.
The best pet sitting service I have ever used, bar none. Thank you, Elite Pet Care, your dog sitters are #1!
Reliable, honest & great reputation!
Never got back to me
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!
We typically take our baby with us everywhere. Unfortunately, there are times when we simply can't and when that happens while traveling in So. California, we choose Renaissance to care for our baby. They are great and even though he is not a seasoned kennel visitor, he loves everyone there and they treat him like their own. He is always happy and well cared for at pick up. Recommend 100%.
I love that the staff at Renaissance really tries to get to know my dogs’ personalities. My husband and I look forward to seeing the daily photo feed to see how Charlie and Lila are doing and how they’re interacting with other dogs and with the staff. I also like their petit suite. It looks comfortable and is kept so neat and clean. The staff is also so willing to work with our dogs’ different personalities and needs. That’s very important to us..
This was our first stay at Renaissance Pet Resort & Spa. I needed a caretaker for my working service dog. I found Renaissance through friends and an internet search. From my first visit to Renaissance and through all my dealings with them, the people were friendly, attentive to my needs and really cared about me and my dog. The cost was very reasonable and the staff was amazing. I loved the daily uploaded photos and videos so that I was able to see how my dog was doing. A great big thank you to all those who care for the animals at Renaissance! I will definitely use their services again.
Victoria did an awesome 1st time grooming on my puppy, Chloe. I am so pleased with the whole entire staff from the day and overnight staff to the groomers. Everyone is so nice and welcoming and they all love their jobs as it shows which makes me feel confident to bring my little Chloe back. Thank you Victoria and the entire staff.
Our fur baby is naturally nervous outside of our home, to the point of she won’t eat. The staff at Renaissance always above and beyond to make our Coco comfortable, and ease our minds knowing that she is being well cared for. Highly recommend!
I recently was hospitized after a fall off a ladder so I had a friend drop off my chocolate lab Smokie while I was recovering. Renaissance was so caring for my 14yr old boy who was also having health issues. The staff was great and so loving with him. I would HIGHLY recommend Renaissance for all your pets needs from hospital stays or vacations. Renaissance you guys are the BEST 👌❤️
This is by far the best place to bring your pets for grooming, boarding or daycare. My dogs love it here, they always look so happy when I pick them up and the staff is incredible. Thank you for always taking great care of my furbabies.
A beautifully run resort for dogs (or any other pet). I was so anxious about boarding my dog for 4 nights. Turns out I had nothing to worry about. My dog had a blast! And she was tended to do well. The managers, staff and pet caregivers gave 5- star luxury service to my baby! Highly recommended!
Wonderful place to leave our Skippy Kitty for the week. I love the open cattery concept where he can hide! He even received turkey on Thanksgiving! The employees know he won’t cause them any trouble!
Wonderful! Everyone was so attentive to detail especially Erin & Samantha who I communicated daily with while on vacation. They were so responsive and put us at ease with any concerns we had. We boarded 2 senior dogs both with health issues one having recent surgery. They received special attention and love every day. Their meds were administered properly even got nails clipped when staff asked if we would like them done! I brought both girls home happy healthy & frisky. We will definitely bring them back. So pleased they were so well taken care of. Thank you!
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!
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!!)
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!
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!
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.
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.
Very accommodating and friendly. Good thing to have up your sleeve if you're a pet owner.
The absolute best! Very responsible, loving and caring.
