Introduction: I have been caring for animals for about twenty five years. I find it to be very rewarding and it’s been an honor and privilege to not only share my life, my home, with my beautiful animals, but also with the many others I have met and spent time with over the past two and a half decades. Before I go on, I want to get the “business” side of my services out of the way, so you can decide whether you want to choose me, prior to reading more about me. My Rates: My Pet Care rate is $30 per every half hour visit with a dog or cat. My House Sitting rate starts at $100 a day/night. I would stay at your home for most of the day and all of the night. I live in Palm Springs, and only do local Dog walking and Cat visits. I will drive no more than 15 minutes to get to your location. If you are looking for someone to take care of your own animal in your own home, I am also available, starting at $150 a day/night. If you are interested in my services, feel free to contact me with any questions. My rates are non-negotiable. Cash only. No Pay Pal, Venmo or any other cash app. When it is Summer here in Palm Springs, I will not keep any animal outside for more than 15-20 minutes and I will gladly play inside with your pup for the rest of the time About Me: I have been lucky enough to have been able to spend my life with four beautiful animals; Shiva the Black Labrador, Antonio the Chihuahua, Inky the Cat and Elvis the Green Iguana. They all lived long lives. Through them, I was able to meet other people, and care for their pets. Most of my “clients” were people who lived in my neighborhood, whose dogs played with mine, and who have known me for decades in many cases. Many people have asked over the years, if I could take care of their pet, at their own home, but I was unable to do so, as I had my own animals, and had others staying with me during the day time. Unfortunately, my twenty-one year old cat, passed away recently, after a long illness, she was the last of my four animals. This leaves me with the opportunity to venture into house sitting. Please reach out if you have any questions.

Corey is fabulous; prompt, responsible, loving and totally dependable. We are very particular with our dog "Cash", who can be a handful. We trust him with Corey without reservation; and the dog adores Corey. Nothing but a positive experience now over the last 6 months. Can recommend him without reservation.

Hi everyone. Finding somebody to come into your house and let your dog out while you’re not there is one of the most difficult services to find. I 100% trust Corey with my golden retriever puppy who is five months old. Corey communicates with me he is always on time and he is super attentive and playful with my puppy. Not only is he trustworthy but he will send me his suggestions and expertise on different things that I can do for my dog and make sure that he has the best care when I am not there. If you are looking for someone to let your dog out then look no further. Corey is the one. He is absolutely amazing.

Details: 1 dog • 0 - 1 years old • Medium (26 - 40 lbs) • 30 minutes (standard) • Prefer a private walk for my dog(s) alone • My home, venue, etc.

Corey is awesome. My cats love spending time with him and hunt for the greenies he hides for them around the living room. He’s also been great to take care of some small things at the condo. Totally recommend him. Peter

Corey has watched my little kitty several times on many occasions, and he never fails to do a phenomenal job! He has a true passion for animals, and I know my furry friend is always in good hands when I’m away. He has an incredible response time, and always makes sure to give you updates. If you are looking for someone friendly, reliable, and a great bang for your buck, this is definitely your guy!!

Corey is terrific! He is so sweet to my dog, and she clearly loves him. He shows up on time, and Maisie is always thrilled to see him. I cannot recommend him more highly!

FAQs

  • How did you get started doing this type of work?

    I got a puppy in 1997 and when walking her out and about I met many neighbors. I had just left a job and was not working. People who saw me interact with my pup and other people’s pups, could see how much I truly enjoyed just spending time with them. Neighbors quickly started asking me if I could walk their dogs. I was enjoying my self so much, it became my “job” then my profession. I spent many hours at the local dog park and over the years I realized, it was and has always been more than a job. I grew to really care for every dog I spent time with. Some dogs and cats, I cared for from their puppy-hood until they passed on. I’ve always been a sole walker, which allows me to pick and choose which dogs and cats I care for. Almost thirty years, and I’m a better person for animals allowing me into their lives!
