About
Pet Care: $30, one pet, 30 minutes (Non-negotiable. Cash only. No Pay Pal, Venmo or any other Cash App). - I am not a trainer. - I do not give medication. - Dogs only under 50 pounds. - I do not offer House Sitting or Pet Sitting at this time. - Cat Care; feeding, litter change, play with them. - When it is hot outside, I will not keep any animal out for more than 15-20 minutes and I will gladly play inside with your pup for the rest of the time. - Location Covered: Palm Springs, 92262, 92264 (10-15 minutes from central Palm Springs Only). - Please see my all Five Star reviews. - About Me: My name is Corey Mondello. I am originally from Boston Massachusetts and moved to Palm Springs in the summer of 2021. I have been caring for animals for almost thirty 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. I have been lucky enough to have been able to spend my adult life with four beautiful animals; Shiva the Black Labrador, Antonio the Chihuahua, Inky the Cat and Elvis the Green Iguana. I now share my home with my Axanthic Green Iguana named Kali Durga. Through them, I was able to meet other people, and care for their animals. 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.

Cory is fantastic. Our 20-month-old rambunctious Rottweiler -- who has some leash aggression issues -- loves him and behaves well for him on walks. We've even referred Cory to one of our neighbors, who also really like him. He's been a great find!

Details: 1 dog • 1 - 2 years old • Extra large (70+ lbs) • 30 minutes (standard) • Prefer a private walk for my dog(s) alone • My home, venue, etc.

Cory is awesome. Our rambunctious Rottie pup loves him. She looks forward to her weekend walks with him. I’ve referred Cory to our neighbors, who also really like working with him.

Cory is fantastic. He has been walking my two dogs three or four times a week for almost 4 months. Our first meeting he came to my condo and met my pets and I was immediately taken with how good he is with animals. He has never been late, he is completely trustworthy, has never not shown up, and only one time had a slight conflict which was able to be worked out easily. He takes the time to send a text after each and every walk letting me know how the dogs did and whether they peed or pooped, and if there was anything unusual he noticed. He’samazing. I would recommend Cory to anyone. He is absolutely the best. My dogs adore him!!!

Corey has been a huge life saver with my crazy work schedule traveling in random late night. He has come through to really help me out with Santana. Santana loves their walks and visits. He sometimes will show up on short notice due to my crazy schedule and I appreciate that I definitely recommend him if your dog is spoiled like Santana needs his walks in his bonding. Corey is the one! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

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.

FAQs

  • What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?

    I only accept cash, no exceptions.

  • 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!
