Cat and Dog sitter in Southern California with safety as my number one priority
Marla is a dream cat sitter. She asked all the pertinent questions about my cats care which made me feel comfortable that Lil was in good hands. Marla left my home spotless. She kept in touch regularly. A bonus - Marla watered my plants especially during the heat wave so I came home to a thriving patio. I would definitely ask Marla back again.

Barely Locals: Adventurous Family Embarks on Journey Through Housesitting
Jessica and Kelton are ideal pet and house sitters. They communicated promptly from the beginning of our interview process and throughout our vacation. Our two dogs were well cared for, and it absolutely ensured our peace of mind while we were away for three weeks. Upon returning home, the house was found exceptionally clean, probably cleaner than we had left it! They even offered to grocery shop us before our return. Their thoughtfulness stood out throughout the entire pet-sitting period. We are looking forward to having them back on our next adventure away!

Experienced, Loving & Responsible House and Pet Sitter
Akasia is a clear and effective communicator. She kept in touch and responded quickly to arrange the details of the sits and have any questions addressed. Our dog Gus liked her and was taken excellent care of. The house was clean and neat when we arrived home. I would be happy to work with her again!

Calm and serene pet sitter and very very trustworthy, just ask my references.
Pamela was wonderful. I would highly recommend her! She was easy and fun to communicate with and clearly loves animals. I hope she'll come here again to stay with my babies!

You guys go, relax and enjoy, we got this...
We had to cancel our trip on the day it was due to begin when my mother became seriously ill and was admitted to the hospital. Mark and Rola were more than gracious regarding the situation, and I truly appreciate their understanding and flexibility while we were dealing with our emergency situation. I have no doubt that had the sit proceeded as planned that Mark and Rola would have been the same excellent caretakers of our house and dog as they have been on their previous sits with us. Thank you so much for your understanding Mark and Rola and I hope you'll consider sitting for us once we're able to travel again.

Responsible animal caretaker, house sitter, plant lover.
We thoroughly enjoyed having Ima stay with Oliver while we were away. She sent regular updates with pictures, and did everything to leave our minds at ease while we were away. Our home was absolutely spotless upon our return, and Oliver had obviously been very well taken care of. She helped manage his anxiety during a storm and followed all of our care instructions to a tee. We would happily have Ima back to watch Oliver any time!

Professional property manager and pet "Auntie" for your home!
Darla and Marvin continue to request Lenore, so here we are leaving another fabulous review for her. Lenore is the perfect house/pet sitter for us. The dogs adore her, and they are able to maintain their routine while she is here. That is very important to them (and to us). Lenore is professional and caring in all that she does. Her communication before, during, and after the sits is always clear and thorough. She is meticulous in her care for the dogs and in her care for our home. We arrived back home after 5 days to find our home just as we had left it. We are so grateful and so pleased each time Lenore accepts an assignment with Darla and Marvin. She puts our minds at ease. We know the dogs and our home are in great hands! Lenore sent us photos of the dogs enjoying time around the pool and spending time with her and her mom. Everyone seemed to be having a grand time! We were thrilled! We have another confirmed sit with Lenore in the next few months, but if you have a sit that you want an experienced, caring, and professional sitter for, Lenore is certainly one to request. We are sure you will love her as much as we do! Kudos to Lenore! :)

Flexible, dependable, and intuitive pet foster parent available
Alexandria was great, she was very communicative, updated us regularly, our cats loved her. Even Caesar who is the most skittish of all our cats was really friendly with her and seemed to really like her. Our cats didn’t even bother to say hi when we came home, that is how I know they were well taken care of and spoiled. The house was clean, everything went fine. Would love to have her house sit for us! Thank you Alexandria.
I am struggling with naming our top adjective to describe Michael and Jeanne. "Conscientious" will likely be it but then again, "personable," "reliable," "organised," and "animal-loving" are top contenders. If you are reading this review and contemplating inviting this couple to watch your pets, then look no further. We have had a number of excellent house sitters but this pair was next level in terms of the love they showed our cats, Maxx and Nala. When we came back, we could our animals already missed them. These cats, who have never slept with anyone other than us, were getting in bed with them each night -- and that meant climbing stairs! The day before our trip, Nala got an ear infection and had to be put on steroids for asthma. Michael and Jeanne did not sign up for that when the sit was booked but they took it in stride. In the last-minute rush, I relayed that Nala needed her oral steroids morning and night. Michael read the RX label, indicating one dose a day, and contacted the vet to clarify. So you can see why "conscientious" is right up there. They saved Nala from an overdose! We were gone three weeks and they sent us just the right amount of pictures and videos. They bought cat toys (I forgot to put ours out!) and actively engaged with them, including 20-minute massages for Maxx. I truly believed them when they said they fell in love with our fur babies. The house was spotless (which was not important to me but truly appreciated) but I smiled when all six water stations in our yard were filled. They took seriously my love for and the needs of the wildlife in our yard. Our plants were all in good condition as well. Sensing they were "next level" when I met them, I predicted they would want to leave a meal for us upon our return. I asked them not to but they found another way to bow out with class. They made a donation to a nonprofit I work with instead. This I learned from the lovely thank you note they left. I hope they will consider Charles and I friends because we certainly feel that way about them now. What special people. If you book them, treat them well because they are going to do that for you for sure.
Anna was an excellent sitter - she took great care to understand all of the intricacies of taking care of the house and cats, asked lots of questions, and arrived on time and ready for the sit. During the trip, she checked in with updates, and upon returning home, left the space tidy and clean. The cats were happy and healthy, and seemed to have had a great time during the sit. Thanks Anna!
We are thoroughly pleased with and impressed by Daniel's kind, generous, and careful care of our cat and our house. He is a committed and experienced sitter who completely understands his role and responsibilities and also how to gently win the confidence and affection of a pet. He is an excellent communicator, and he kept us regularly up to date on our cat's well being--sending us texts and photos at least once/week as we requested. Our cat who is a little afraid of new people, grew fond of him, and we have returned to a very calm, contented cat. We highly recommend Daniel, and we ourselves would be thrilled to engage him again when the need arises.
Kira was the best sitter we have ever had! I chose Kira because of her reviews, ability to sit during the dates I needed and willingness to communicate with my daughter/neighbor who co-parents Colby with us. I am always a bit anxious about having someone in my home and trusting them with our fluffy son. Kira put us at ease almost immediately. I received photos and videos everyday throughout the stay. I got updates on Colby’s activity and the fun they were having together. My heart felt full knowing that Colby was being well loved and cared for. Additionally, Kira was so kind to keep us posted on any deliveries that arrived at the house. Finally, when I arrived home, the house was tidy and clean! Again, I am so grateful that Kira was there keeping the house and my cat safe! I hope she will come back and sit again. I know Colby would love to see her again.
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!!
Brian is a very professional sitter that does a good job, pays attention to details and is easy to work with. I have a lot of plants. A lot. He suggested me do a video for the plant care so he could be sure of which ones needed what. Brilliant! I’d never thought of that. They were in great shape when I returned. I explained that I needed some flexibility with travel dates, he agreed and rolled with the punches like a champ when my dates did indeed change. Unfortunately, he was a bit allergic to my cat but made it work anyway. He was really awesome about everything including a tree that fell next door in a storm and blocked the road for three days. I appreciate that he appreciated how funny and how much personality Boo has. They got along well and I received some great videos. I returned home to a happy cat and a house well taken care of 😊. I would definitely recommend Brian.
Raquel was simply terrific! She and her husband, Miguel, had to fill in at the last minute for another sitter who had a death in her family. This meant that the length of the stay and sitting they had originally signed up for doubled. Completely undaunted, they did a GREAT job for us. Our cat and dog got lots of love and affection, and plenty of exercise, food, and rest. Our house and yard were cared for with equal conscientiousness. It was wonderful for us to be able to rely so completely on these super zeewoi. We recommend them 100 percent!
If Cung ever applies to your post for a house or pet sit, I strongly encourage you to jump at the offer. You will not be disappointed. Cung is among the top (if not the top) sitter I’ve ever had and I’ve been on this site for years. Primarily, Cung is very organized. In the weeks and days leading up to the sit, Cung kept me abreast of his plans and status. I felt very comfortable in the days leading up to the sit because I knew the plan we made to exchange the keys and walk him through the instructions would work as planned. Second, Cung really cares. When he got to my apartment after what I assume was a long day of traveling, I explained the care instructions and he was very attentive and cared about the details - asking very specific questions on how to care for my cat and apartment. I had some pretty specific rules about how to feed my cat and take care of him and Cung followed those exactly. Third, Cung makes you feel comfortable while you are away. I got daily or twice daily updates about my cat. I got pictures which made me feel like my cat was having a good time. My cat came out within an hour of me being away - very fast for my cat as he is shy. Cung must have a calming energy towards animals. Cung was also very responsive when I reached out first - replying within 5 minutes. I really appreciated that. My cat threw up at one point and Cung answered all of my questions to assess whether my cat was sick or had just eaten too fast. Fourth, Cung will take good care of your apartment/house. I came back to a SPOTLESS apartment. The sheets were washed and folded on my bed. The towels were washed. The apartment had been vacuumed. The kitchen was clean. The dishwasher had been run. Everything was in its place when I returned. Honestly, cleaner than when I left it which is difficult since I am a very clean person. Cung also respects your property. I have an extensive computer setup that he used for work and he was very respectful of that equipment. He asked if he could use it beforehand, which was incredibly polite since he could have used it and I wouldn’t have known. In sum. You need to jump at the opportunity if Cung offers to sit for you. I came home to a very happy cat. Hope he will sit for me again sometime!
Kristine was wonderful again as our local sitter from just down the street. The boys take to her like she is their best friend whenever she comes to sit with them. She sent us photos of them playing, relaxing, drinking water and eating so we knew they were well taken care of. The house and the cats were in excellent shape and excellent hands while we were away. It is wonderful that she enjoys the house and the cats so much and tells us so. Kristine comes with our highest recommendation! Thank you Kristine!
I whole-heartedly recommend Carly and her partner Fanny to sit for you! They were fabulous and reliable house sitters from start to finish. Carly was timely and thoughtful in all of her communications and let us know the state of affairs in our apartment with our cat and plant babies while we were away. They followed our directions to a 'T.' We came home to find a happy cat, thriving plants, a spotless apartment and laundered linens. We would definitely consider contacting them again to house sit for us!

I love this place so much. We’ve been customers for years and they take the best care of my pup. My dog is so happy when we pull up!
I 💕 this pet kennel. I have used this kennel for 2 1/2 years. My Stella is now three. I can count on this kennel to take excellent care of my Stella. I can go on my vacation without having to worry if she will be okay. I love the entire check in process it's the same process for checking into a regular motel. This kennel is a real gem!
A hidden gem right off of highway 62. We were skeptical due to the lack of pictures but, this truly was an amazing experience for us and our dog. The cleanliness of the property its self and the dog kennels was superb. The owner truly cares for the animals in her possession. Affordable, professional, and prompt answers of the phone when we called. Overall 10/10 We would definitely recommend to anyone who is in search of a pet boarding service in the surrounding area.
The best option for a doggy hotel in Hi Desert for sure. Debbie is the nicest lady and always very accommodating. You can tell she really likes and cares for the dogs when you talk to her - she always works gives me an update on my dog when I called to extend or book a new reservation. When I pick up my dog, she is always happy as clam.
Great prices and amazing people! The kennels are nice and cool even during the hottest point in the day. They will have plenty of water and you can bring anything your pup needs from home, such as food, snacks, bedding and toys.
my dog is safe here..has access to the inside and outside. .with no fear of another dog being able to hurt him or vice versa..also love that it's always air conditioned or heated for them too. Walked in on a 100 degree day..cool as ice for my canine best friend. owners are super nice and helpful..will allow you to bring treats etc
No better place to leave your fur babies. Cold AC inside plus access to outside and your choice if you want your fur babies isolated from other dogs or not. Even though my little buddy didn't like it I know it wasn't because of the people there. I would give 10 Stars if I could.
I have been using this business for more then 28 year. Friendly staff, that loves dogs and cats. And the kennels are ALWAYS spotless.
Great rates very friendly staff, clean cages, and very convenient
Always clean, great price, overall best place to leave your pups, worry free!
Nicki was great when dog-sitting! My dog was supposed to stay at her farm, but last minute was informed of contracting a parasite. Nicki was flexible and opted to do in house visits instead! Due to her flexibility and patience, I was still able to go on my trip and my dog was well taken care of! Beforehand, we met with Nicki for an hour so she could get to know my dog and her needs. She's super attentive and knowledgable! I would recommend her to any family or friends in the area. As a first time dog owner, she put me at ease form the start and gave me updates throughout the trip. 10/10
I’d love to share my experience with Nicki, she has been absolutely wonderful in so many ways! From the very beginning we met her, she was so helpful in training our now forever fur baby, Zoey! Nicki has trained Zoey for months and has absolutely transformed her and because of her hard work and dedication, we have a sweet doggy to love and care for. Nicki has taken the time to teach Zoey how to walk on a leach without pulling, crate trained her, she has gotten her on a well balanced dog food that we use as well, Nicki has also potty trained her and truly shown what a sweet and obedient dog Zoey truly is. Because of the dedication and love Zoey has received, we decided to adopt Zoey from Nicki and it was one of the best possible decisions we ever made. We have had Zoey boarded with Nicki, knowing that she is in the best hands we could have possibly left her with and came back to a happy and playful dog who clearly had nothing short of a wonderful time, social time with other dogs, and lots of care. We trust and know Nicki to take each and every dog and love it as if it were her own. Seeing Nicki in action with Zoey is incredible, with how patient, professional, and knowledgeable she is with dogs, it truly shows her love and compassion for these sweet fur babies. I truly recommend Nicki to any and everyone, your fur baby will be in professional and loving hands each and every time!!!
Nicki watched my well behaved and trained Belgian Malinois, Hope, for almost a week. Hope was sad to see her go. Nicki gave her plenty of exercise, and had done some behavior modification that really helped. Super high praises for Nicki!
Niki watched/ trained our 10 week old Doberman puppy for a week, she is absolutely amazing! She taught her how to sit & crate trained her! She is so patient with the dogs. Highly highly recommend her!
Wonderful experience. I truly felt my baby was in good hands the entire time. He is a year old and has never spent a night with out me so this was hard on both of us and Nicki made it so much easier for both of us.
Fantastic care provided for my labradoodle. Pepper loved Nicki.
KC is my German shepherd that I rescued when he was 3. He was not properly socialized when he was a puppy and is fearful of people. Since he is 10 now he is a complete snuggle puppy when he trusts you but it is hard for him to trust...so when I needed to leave town for my daughters wedding (along with everyone that he trusts) there was only one place I knew I could turn to Blue Barn. Everyone there is amazing and Kathi was able to understand and help KC so that he was able to settle in and stay while the family was away. Thank you Kathi and everyone at Blue Barn for everything that you do! The loving caring way you help with boarding is amazing!!!
My dog Timber was reactive to strangers and I struggled taking him to vet appointments and in most public places. He had training in the past which helped but he began to fall into bad habits again. With a few sessions working with Kathi Timber showed a lot of improvement in his bad behavior. I have been able to talk to strangers on walks with less outbursts and he has been much better at home. Kathi is a great teacher and I would recommend her to anyone with a reactive dog. It is also important to mention Timber is 11 so it is never too late to improve your dogs behavior and improve your own quality of life. I look forward to continue working on the strategies I learned at Blue Barn Ranch.
We brought our reactive pit bull / Belgian Malinois to Kathi for help with basic obedience and safe dog socialization. Kathi was absolutely amazing in helping us get our smart pup comfortable with the commands and techniques we needed to engage him, help him understand and follow our commands, and learn to be around and play with other dogs. We loved the training sessions and so did our pup. He graduated and is now a super happy and well socialized pup. On a recent walk, we met two strangers on the trail who complimented Theo's manners and ask, "Are you taking him to Blue Barn?" Yes we are! We're planning to continue working with Kathi to get Theo to an intermediate and, one day, advanced level of obedience training. We'll also be boarding Theo with Kathi for an upcoming trip. We couldn't recommend Blue Barn more!
Blue Barn is the absolute best for boarding dogs. We routinely board one or both of our dogs and couldn't be happier with the care provided to them. Top notch service.
I came to Kathi with my fearfully aggressive dog who couldn’t be within 100 feet of someone new without barking/growling, let alone let anyone near her or touch her. After only 3 training sessions she was manageable and started to let people near her and even give her pets. After our full 8 sessions she is a completely different dog- walking and playing at the park and even playing with other dogs. We still have work to do but I couldn’t be happier with how far we’ve come. I couldn’t recommend blue barn ranch enough, Kathi is an amazing trainer and motivator!
Blue Barn Ranch and Kathi are amazing! My pup, Nep, is a 75 lb white shepherd husky mix. He is a complicated fella. Dog parks and play dates were tough - he is big, he kept fighting and riling other dogs up. I had anxiety taking him out, always worried he was going to start some bar fight. Kathi gave us structure and rules, and helped me be a confident pet parent. When we first came to BBR, we took a scheduled walk through of the facility. Nep did an evaluation with another dog and he was accepted (relief!). BBR pick up and drop off times are set and strict for our dogs protection. This is a mom/pop shop after all and they give our pups 1 on 1 attention. For the last five years, we have gone to daycare there, long term and short term boarding, and training classes. Nep completed his canine good citizen certification (his ribbon is next to my 3rd grade math bee trophy), he did rally training, basic obedience and 1:1 training with Kathi. And of course my pups favorite thing to do aid swim in that beautiful dog pool (he gets so tired on swimming days I love it). Bottom line: If you invest and partner with Kathi on your pet care - Kathi will invest and partner with you. When my flights are delayed over the holidays or on work trips - she would extend Nep’s stay. When my pup had stomach issues or hot spots - I text her for advice. I appreciate how she takes time to fill me in on his day during pick up. BBR/Kathi’s structure is exactly what this Libra girl and Leo 🐶 needed.
Great place for all your 4 legged family. Completed the Basic Obedience class with my puppy. Kathi and family is awesome at what they do. Training grounds are clean and easy to access. Prices are very reasonable. I drove from San Bernardino to train here
I have had dogs for years. Mainly rescues. Some not. I’ve used all kinds of trainers, when I moved up to Yucca Valey 15 years ago, I didn’t have access to the caliber of training that I had been accustomed to. A friend of mine about a year ago started posting pictures of her pup on Facebook and giving credit to Blue Barn. I reached out to Blue Barn and asked Kathy if she had any availability for me and my French bulldog. Fable and I are now officially intermediate training. We have gone through basic training private, basic group training, right now we are halfway through our intermediate private training, and this fall we plan to do group intermediate training. And then next December we will continue with advanced training. I really like the set up here at Blue Barn! Kathy is extremely smart, educated about dogs, and willing to work with Ignorant human beings, I’m specifically talking about myself. She can train any human and any dog if they are willing to be open minded. I would give more than five stars but they only have five stars for me to give. Kathy is extraordinary. – Melissa
All my Boys love Blue Barn. Run totally by family, each animal gets plenty of exercise and supervised play! We are frequent, repeat clients of over 4 years. And we come home tired!....Update....2018...Well, the family has grown!!!! We have welcomed Trouble, full brother to Thunder and Lightning (canine), into our home in January!!! And Montana, their equine brother, joined us in November, 2017 . My big boys spend 4 full days and 3 nights a week with Kathi and John. Montana, despite having his own lovely palace at my house, now resides at Blue Barn full time. Why? Because I need a dependable, safe place for them to be while I am working locally and my husband serves overseas. John keeps the ranch SPOTLESS. Kathi and her soon to be daughter-in- law Rachel exercise and love my big boys (woof). Kathi and John's daughter, Lisa, is Lightning's special girl, when she is home working on college break. After 4 days with them, they come home clean, happy and exercised! When my days exceed regular hours, my little boys also stay. I never worry, knowing Kathi makes sure Thebes gets his insulin, and trust me, he can be a challenge. The new kennel building is awesome, heated, cooled and able to run in a power outage with the generator....back to Montana....I had my other horse at Blue Barn (in the barn) for a few years, he just loved it, and John, but I brought him to my home for his last year. Now, Montana occupies his former barn stall at Blue Barn. Relief because, wow, having a horse home is a lot of work. He gets 3 feedings a day, 2 clean outs and I have plenty of space to exercise him. My little animal family has been around....not only locally, but nationally! And Blue Barn is the safest, best run place we have boarded. Very reasonably priced and we all feel just like family. If I did not have them, I could not function in my professional life as I do. Kathi, John, Lisa and Rachel. You guys make my life manageable. 😍😍
Sounds of Silent Spirits animal rescue gives Kathy a-resounding FIVE star rating. Kathy was able to to an assessment on a very agitated rescue pup for us. This dog was terrified of men. The dog reacted aggressively! Kathy, worked with us to learn the dogs limits. Kathy was also willing to board the dog as well! Kathy and John run a immaculate kennel too! We are grateful to have such a professional and experienced trainer in our world of rescue- Sounds of Silent Spirts volunteers
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!

Never got back to me
