Brought our dog for a day while we were hiking. Communication both before and during was amazing. Our dog had a blast, pictured were awesome. He came back tired (in a good way) and loved on. We will definitely use their services again when in the area. read more

We took our puppy Leo here for daycare while we explored JTNP (pets are not allowed on most hiking trails). Leo had such a great time getting all that puppy energy out of his system and playing with the other dogs all day. Christina was great and I loved seeing all the videos she recorded of Leo having a blast that day. I could tell she loves dogs and they all love her too. We will definitely bring Leo here again next time we visit Joshua Tree! read more

We already posted a 5 star review on Google last October, we boarded our cats here for 3 weeks, and it was a great experience for our cats. We boarded our dog Nai Nai here for a week, and Christina was great in taking care of her, and she was responsive to my daily checking. Nai Nai had a great time and made new friends here too. Highly recommended. read more

Such a great find! We were in Joshua Tree for my daughter's 7th birthday when she begged us to get sushi for her special meal. Unable to bring our dog with us or leave her at the campsite, we called up Christina desperate to see if we could drop our dog off for the day. She was so friendly and accommodating with our last minute request! It was convenient that they were able to get our dog the vaccinations she needed while she was there. River (our dog) had a fantastic time and came back to us happy and healthy, while we were able to take a hike that we otherwise couldn't AND enjoy a happy birthday dinner. I highly recommend this place. Thanks Joshua Tree Pet Resort!! read more

Late review from Nov. 2023 Christina was very helpful and answered all my questions. We dropped off our pup for doggy day care and he responded well to Christina. Normally, he is hesitant towards strangers but he must've felt the good vibe and was comfortable to go with her. We picked him up and he was happy and looked like he had a good time. Thank you Christina!! Highly recommend JT Pet Resort. read more

Our dog had a great time at JT pet resort! We had a short trip to Joshua Tree and needed a place for our pitbull mix to stay while we explored some of the trails. Christina was very easy to work with, and our dog was comfortable with her right away. It was so nice to know that she was able to play with other dogs while we were away. :) read more

Took my two pups to JT Pet Resort when I traveled out of town for my daughter's wedding. I was apprehensive because I have never boarded them. They did great thanks to the caring and competent Christina Mills. My small dog is anxious but she did great as did my golden retriever. I cannot say enough good things about the way this professional business is run. Great communication and attention to detail. And they genuinely loved and cared for my fur babies. Highly recommend! read more

Christina is a very loving and compassionate caregiver for my sister in law's dog... she even gave her a complimentary bath! thank you Christina! we highly recommend JT Pet Resort read more

I recommend this pet resort 100%. The owner is so caring and wise with the dogs. She also helps re home dogs that have been abandoned in her area. She took care of my huge lab/Great Dane mix LEO who she rescued nursed back to health and made sure he went to an appropriate home which turned out to me me!!! This is how we got a new fur baby LEO. Thank you for giving LEO a safe space. read more

Traveling and needed a one day doggy daycare so we could take a tour of Joshua Tree National Park. Dogs are not allowed on the trails and we wanted to take the Creative Soul Scavenger Hunt. Christina runs a dog rescue and was the only doggy daycare willing to help out tourist traveling with their dog. We used the VIP dog service and our pup was so happy! Christina has a good schedule where the VIP dogs have playtime, then on the couch cuddle time. Hours later we collected our dog who had been cared for. Traveling with your dog? Call Christina! Christina kept me informed by text every step of the way. read more

Anyone with a dog knows that a dog is more than a dog--they're family. When looking for someone to take care of your family, you want the best of the best. Christina took the time to get to know Ellie, ask questions, and gauge what her comfort level was all before taking her in for the day. She was also super responsive texting throughout the day as I checked in on Ellie. It was our first time dropping her off at a day care so I was nervous, but Christina helped ease that so much! She even sent several cute photos of Ellie bonding with her and her mom that was visiting for the week. Will definitely come back the next time I'm in the area. read more

Twilly stayed here for (2) nights and she didn't want to leave!! When picking her up, she wanted to go back in the house many times and gave a bunch of goodbye kisses to Christina before she left. Christina took pictures and updated me on Twilly when I was hiking/away. Highly recommend this place. read more

We are Joshua Tree locals and we needed to board our. 8 month old Labrador overnight. We opted for the "in house" boarding and are very happy we did. Christina was very professional and thorough with Luna's vaccine records and even caught one that needed a booster which she was able to do in-house. This means a lot because it means our dog is protected as well as having peace of mind knowing the other dogs are current with their vaccines. Christina's communication was also excellent and responded quickly to our inquiries as to how Luna was getting on. Luna came home VERY tired after so much play with the other dogs and we we are happy to have such a conscientious and professional local option when we need to board our girl. read more

Joshua tree pet resort is THE place to drop off your dog for the day while you enjoy and get the most out of the park. It's conveniently located near the park entrance/exit. Christina was very easy to communicate with and seemed to genuinely care for all the dogs in her care. Wrigley was so excited to be at Joshua Tree Pet Resort, she didn't even want to leave when we came back to pick her up. Would definitely recommend bringing your dog here if they're joining you on a trip to Joshua tree. read more

We came into town for a couple of days and couldn't keep our dog Judy with us at our hotel, so this place really came in handy! She was short one of her shots as well and I almost panicked!! But they were able to give her the shot during her stay, literally a lifesaver and so convenient. Great service, you can tell they really love dogs! read more

Christina was beyond kind and accommodating! She took good care of my grumpy senior cat and was kind enough to let me take some pictures that are going to be used for a memorial. I tipped her because I was grateful and she said that extra money would go towards their pet rescue. Super sweet, highly recommend. read more

We trusted our 8 months old Australian Cattle puppy to Christina while we went to explore Joshua tree. It was our first time leaving her at doggy day care and we were a little nervous at first. Especially because there is no cell phone service in Joshua Tree national park. After we came to pick Poppy up, Christina gave us a very detailed overview of how Poppy did at the day care which was very usefull to better understand our dog's behavior and needs. I'm very pleased with the service and will definitelly trust my puppy under Christina's care next time I visit Joshua tree. read more

Highly recommended! Christina is a true dog whisperer. Our American Bulldog Duke had never been boarded before. He's friendly but kind of a loner when it comes to other dogs. We were worried he would be sad and lonely for the week he stayed at the resort. Also he was diagnosed with an ear infection a few days before we were scheduled to leave so Christina had to deal with his medicines. No problems whatsoever....everything went very smoothly... he became fast friends with Christina's son and was only slightly excited to come home. read more

If you have a doggie that's used to staying in your house, DO NOT take your dog here. My 9 year old dog messed on his bed,.... And that NEVER happens. I can only imagine that because the caretakers were "scared" of my 12 pound dog, that he is turn did what dogs do and didn't want to be touched by them. He is a well adjusted dog. One week here was almost $300. Ridiculous!! These are NOT dog people. Something was wrong that caused my dog to behave the way he did. He has been boarded NUMEROUS times and I've NEVER had the issues I had at this place. It also smells horrible. Edit: I was reading the response from the owner of this "kennel". I could not decline "VIP" services if I didn't know they existed ‍ so THAT is a bold face lie. This is BY FAR still the worst "boarding" facility I've ever seen and the owners have now proven themselves to be liars. read more

Christina is amazing with the dogs she took such a good care of my Dalmatian! I highly recommend JOSHUA TREE PET RESORT! Thanks again Christina. read more

We always are nervous when leaving our pup at a new place. Christina and the JTPR staff really get it - we received updates and photos, and Sammie got a great social and care stay. She was there 3 days and we received updates and photos - really put us at ease and we could see she was doing really well. We will definitely use JTPR whenever we are in the area. Highly recommended! Check out all the reviews - they speak for themselves!!!!! (Sammie was a VIP) read more

What a wonderful place for your furry friends to come hang while you can explore the National Park. We had a chance to book our mini aussie at the Joshua Tree Pet Resort for doggy daycare.

My family was visiting Joshua Tree and couldn't bring our dog on the trails with us, so had him stay at day care for the day. Christina made registration and drop-off super-easy, and shared some photos and tidbits about our dog's day with us. It's clear he had a great time playing in the big outdoor space with all the other dogs, and was taken care of very well. We would definitely use the JT Pet Resort again! read more

I recently took my two dogs for daycare at JTPR and I couldn't be happier with the experience. After the first day my dogs came back tired, happy and relaxed. And when I dropped them off the next morning, they voluntarily left my side to join Christina for daycare. I wish there was a JTPR in my city!! I highly recommend this place to anyone visiting the area!! read more

Thank you to Christina and staff for taking care of our pup Deebo! We were able to make a last minute reservation for him for the daycare service so the humans could go hike the national park. Christina answered all our questions as we were nervous leaving our 5 month old puppy somewhere else for the first time and she responded quickly too. Deebo was so pooped by the time we picked him which was nice for us because we were equally as tired lol. I could tell Deebo loved it there and loved Christina because when we were taking him back to the car he turned around and ran to Christina to say one last goodbye! I highly recommend it here for your fur babies! read more

This is one of the best doggy daycare we have been to. It's super spacious and the staff cannot be any friendlier. Our goldendoodle baby Waffles had a blast while we went for a hike at Joshua Tree. When we picked her up she was so happy and tired. Christina is amazing, so patient and helpful. Months later when we need to check Waffles into another daycare, they required a recommendation letter from other daycares she has been to. Christina answered my call on a Christmas day and immediately provided me the sweetest grade score for Waffles. 5 stars service! Highly recommend Joshua Tree Pet Resort! read more

Stop scrolling and look no further for your J Tree dog boarding needs. Christina is the best-- she's super responsive and personable.

My dog loves coming here. They take such good care of your pets and I would recommend anyone to come!

My pup, Enzo & I spent a month in Joshua Tree working remotely to escape the gray Portland rain and Enzo went to the JT Pet Resort Tuesdays & Thursdays the whole time. He was SO happy there! Christina was lovely; very professional, checked vaccines, easy to communicate with and Enzo adored her. He never wanted to come home! Highly recommend for doggy daycare. I've passed along my recommendation to the vacation rental as well. Thank you again Christina. We'll see you next time! read more

What an amazing place! Christina took such great care of my fur baby while I was at a conference.
