I have been a happy customer for over a year now with my two rescue dogs, Sheba and Angel. Harold is the most loving person to my celebrity dogs. I would not consider using anyone else. read more

When owners couldn't accommodate us as a new client, they had Ruthie of A Round of a Paws reach out to me directly stating Purrfurred referred us through her (and vice versa). She already knew my requested petsitting dates and stated they could accommodate us, should we be interested. One phone call later in less than 24 hrs and we are all taken care of. We really appreciated the referral and expeditious response! read more

Was referred to a great Cat sitter, Ed. He took great care of my Booger, was kind and I felt completely safe, leaving him the code to my home read more

The sitter was great, but charging $100 per day for someone who just spent the night, and another $30 per day to come back and walk them during the day was over the top pricey. read more

Andrew watched our dogs in our hotel room at the Ace while we were at our wedding. Super friendly, reliable and great with the dogs. Will definitely use them during our next visit to Palm Springs! read more

We needed someone to look after our three small dogs, one of which has pretty bad dementia in his old age and Andy did an amazing job. We felt more than comfortable having him sit our pups and house and he went above and beyond to make sure their routine wasn't changed too much while we were out of town at a wedding for the weekend. Thoroughly recommended! Very fair pricing! Great communication! Will most certainly be using them again next time our fur babies need looking after! Thank you soo much!! read more

We realized we made the right decision to hire Purrfurred Pet Sitters almost immediately. From the short videos and photos, it was obvious our 18 year old tabby enjoyed Ed's visits. As a result, we weren't concerned about Jinks and our time away was worry free. We'll be calling PPS for future pet sitting services. We truly thank you, Ed! read more

This service is very well organized. My regular pet sitter was not coming through and I needed someone to look after my kitty in the next few days. Ruthie got back to me in less than an hour. We arranged to meet the next day. She was charming smart and responsive and clearly my kitty liked her. While I was away I always knew that she was there. She texted pics of kitty eating. Always reassuring. Though we've just begun I feel confident that my cat is being well cared for. read more

I highly recommend Purrfurred Pet Sitters! Ed has cared for my sweet Tabby cat anytime I go on a trip, and always takes the best care. I appreciate getting pictures of her throughout the stay so I know she's okay and he even went and bought her, her favorite food that I wasn't able to find due to stocking issues from pandemic. They respond quick and the care is always the best! read more

Was in Palm Springs last week to spend time with my hubby during his bday week (he is currently in PS for work) and I brought my puppy with me for the week. For his bday dinner, we were originally thinking about bringing our dog with us, but figured that would likely be annoying since she does not know how to act right quite yet. So I asked my hotel, Kimpton Rowan, if they had any recommendations on pet sitters and they suggested Purrfurred Pet Sitters. I called the number they gave me and the owner immediately answered. He advised that I register online and then would be able to see if any of his pet sitters were available. Once I registered, I got a call back immediately advising that he had a pet sitter available for me. He was also very nice regarding the price. Our pet sitter, Miller Lee, arrived promptly, was very nice and playful and my puppy seemed to really like him. I would use PPS in the future. Thanks again!! read more

Had a great experience. Ruthie took lovely care of my 2 cats over a long weekend. Sent cute pics each day; it was so nice to see they were getting attention. Cats were happy when I got back, always a good indication of great care. read more

Thank you to Harold (owner) and Alex (Pet Sitter Extraordinaire) for helping me out at the last-minute taking such good care of dog. I ended up having to bring my dog with me to Palm Springs, but was attending an event and dinner, with no place to leave my dog. While my hotel was gracious enough to let me bring her, she could not be left alone in the room. I called Harold at 11 and he assured me he would take care of things. At 4:30, both Harold and Alex arrived for a meet & greet with Pippa (who is a rescue and very shy around strangers initially). Within a half an hour, Pippa was sitting next to Alex and I knew I had nothing to worry about. I highly recommend Purrfurred Pet Sitters whether you are just visiting the Palm Springs area, or you live there. I will definitely be calling again! read more

This Review is so long overdue. Purrfurred Pet Sitters is my Savior & always my 100% go to when I leave out of town. Harold, Brian and Tommy are Feline Whisperers. I know they take care of Dogs too but for some reason no one mentions Cat sitting on any such review. I have used them 4 times to be exact now, ranging from 3 days-8 days away. I love my 2 Cats like kiddo's, so leaving them always leaves me in a panic, but not with Purrfurred. I never worry or never have fretted over anything when I'm on my trip. They do the extra's also. They water plants, bring mail in, tidy up, give the Cats extra's like play time, Cat nip, treats, toys & lots of TLC(oh & the litter box is sparkling) They also send you texts updating your curiosities and will take pics if you want. I came home to a tidy, happy, great energy filled apartment many times & I could tell Roger & Rose were always well taken care of. They are very reasonable & responsible and believe me, I did my research and these guys are Stand up Men and very Qualified. They are also insured and know their animal taking care of qualities. It's natural to them. They Rock! You will love this company and all your pet needs will be taken care of so you can enjoy yourself. I know they walk dogs too as they are in love with their own animals. They are heaven sent & very special people. I will continue to use them Forever! I even want to hang out with them as friends they are that COOL!! Thanks again and Roger & Rose thank you too and can't wait till my next trip so they get to hang out with the Boys!! You will not regret leaving your beloved furry babies with Purrfurred Pet Sitters I promise, so go on a Vacation... read more

I have been a cat owner for over 20 years and I have never been satisfied with any pet-sitting service (I am picky) - that is, until I found Purrfurred Pet Sitters! We had a 6-week trip planned and had recently moved to Palm Springs so I didn't know anyone to call. I took a chance after finding them on Yelp and Harold came over for a consultation. I could tell right away he was a real animal lover and that our precious cat Otis would be in good hands. We were not only trusting him with our cat but with our home - and he was fantastic! He kept me updated with texts every few days, he took in our mail and he kept everything clean and tidy, including the litterbox. When we returned recently, I was so relieved that Otis was relaxed and aok. For the first time ever, I feel like I can travel without worrying about our home and our cat's well being. HIGHLY recommended! read more

I reached out last minute for some help during the holidays and the owner was incredibly helpful and responsive. He assured me they would make something work and he came through. Within an hour or so he had secured a sitter for the day I needed help. The sitter Jerid was extremely sweet and communicated lots leading up to the visit and then during the visit as well. My anxious dog was actually relaxed when we came home. It was such a huge relief. We will be definitely using this company again when we visit the Palm Springs area in the future! read more

Harold has been taking care of our beloved pets for several years. We have had two dogs and a cat and he's always provided such great care and love to them which we've always been so grateful for. Recently we were over 2500 miles away and one of our dogs who is 15 years old seemed to be sick. Upon further evaluation, since Harold knew her so well, it was clear something was very wrong. He transported her to after hours emergency care and it was found that she was suffering from internal bleeding and although it was crushing, we had to do what was best for her and say goodbye. Harold held the phone to her so we could tell her how much we loved her and what a good girl she was. He stayed with her until the very end until after midnight. We are so immensely grateful that he was there for our sweet girl when we could not be. She knew she was loved by him and at least he could provide her some comfort during her final moments. Thanks so much Harold! We are forever grateful for your loving care of our precious girl. read more

I have been a client of Purrfurred Petsitters for several years now and would not have anyone else. The owner, Harold Allen, is totally responsible, conscientious, and vets (pun intended) his employees thoroughly. I have 3 indoor cats. Tom, who cares for them when we're gone, is extremely diligent and hard-working, and (something very important to me) he keeps in frequent contact with me throughout my time away. Recently, one of my cats was ill, but I thought she was getting better. During my time away, however, she took a turn for the worse, and Tom made additional visits by the house to make sure she was all right (she is). I am deeply grateful to Tom, and also to Harold, for the excellent care they have been providing my pets. They consistently go beyond the call of duty to make sure your animal is faring well. Purrfurred Petsitters has my highest recommendation. read more

Like most people, we love our pets. We are very protective and consider them to be part of the family. And like most people we can't always be home and it's often not practical to take them with us. Having pet care is absolutely essential. Finding someone to trust with our pets as well as our home, giving us freedom with peace of mind, was a real challenge. We are so thankful for Harold and Team (Bart, Tommy and All) at Purrfurred Pet Sitters! They have been taking care of our pets for 5 years now. During this time we have relied on them, literally, dozens of times for everything from being gone for the night to being away on extended vacation. They have always come through and proven, that while in their care, our pets and our house are in responsible hands: - Offered free, initial in-home consultation and getting started was easy - Both the Website and Mobile App are user friendly; offers full range of services; booking system makes scheduling days/times and choice of services a breeze and it's easy to make changes, when necessary. - Welcome packets and templates help to make going away easier and to ensure nothing is forgotten. - Very reliable and accommodating; have always been available, for future needs planned ahead or on short notice; even been there for us at last minute in an emergency situation. - Always helpful and communicative; provide a daily report card with detailed notes for each visit and keep you informed while you are away (even send photos). - Affordable; rates are very reasonable and we've never had a problem with billing or payment. - Reliable and helpful when it comes to looking after the house: check mail, alter lights, garbage, watering plants, etc. We recommended Purrfurred Pet Sitters to several friends. All have been satisfied with their experience and are now loyal customers. Overall exceeds expectations! read more

Bill & Harold "babysat" my little pup. I can't speak highly enough of these 2 lovely Gentlemen. They took superb care of my pup. They took him for walks, socialized with him! Took him to a restaurant. They made sure my pup drank, ate, walked etc. They were so kind, gentle and caring. I will most definitely be using PPS again. read more

My mom was admitted to the hospital unexpectedly this past weekend, so I needed someone to go to the hospital in Palm Springs to pick up keys to her apartment, go to her apartment in Desert Hot Springs and give her cats water and food, and then go back to the hospital to drop off the keys. Purrfurred Pet Sitters was the fourth pet sitter I called and the only one that was willing to do this - all for $21!!! They sent someone to my mom's apartment within a few hours after my initial call. I spoke to Harold and he was very friendly and thorough. They even sent me a photo of one of the cats happily drinking fresh water. I am very pleased with Purrfurred Pet Sitters and I highly recommend them to anyone who is looking for in-home pet visits or pet sitters in the Palm Springs area. read more

I lost my long-time cat sitter and needed to find someone willing to drop in on my herd of 4 cats for feedings and litter box cleanup for 4 days while I was out of town. I found Harold and Purrfurred Pet Sitters through recommendations on Yelp. I couldn't be happier. From the preliminary visit I felt very comfortable. He asked all of the questions you would expect him to ask and explained to me how he would conduct each visit while I was gone. Even though we had gone over everything, I left a letter describing how I wanted my cats to be fed and where everything was. I knew that my cats would be in good hands. While I was gone, I received texts and photos showing that everything was fine. The desert winds kicked up blowing leaves and debris into the screened patio. Harold swept the patio and when I got home, I couldn't even tell there had been even the slightest breeze! The prices are reasonable, the service outstanding and the trust I have in Harold and his crew is priceless. read more

I have a 4 yr. old Boston Terrier. A while back we boarded him in a local kennel while we took a 3 day vacation. We found the kennel nice and clean, and the help friendly and welcoming. Unfortunately he was not well looked-after in the playroom and he played and played until he got sick. He arrived home quite ill. He hadn't eaten, was vomiting and extremely dehydrated to the point we thought we would lose him. In a panic we took him to the emergency vet which cost over a thousand dollars to learn that he was hungry and dry. We thought that vacations without dogs were a thing of past. Enter Purrfurred Pet Sitters. What a breath of fresh air this company is! Harold, the owner, runs a great program and know the strength of his business is his people. Thomas is the pet sitter that has been sent to us for a few vacations now. This kind and concerned young man has impressed us to the point that we practically schedule around him. He is very empathetic and is always quite concerned for the welfare of our pet. Thomas is simply awesome. Really! The care provided by him is wonderful. Thomas is conscientious, reliable, personable, caring and delightful. His daily visits include feeding and quality play-time with our dog. We prefer that our dog spend at least some time in day care during our vacations and Thomas provides the transportation. Over-the-top, he sends us text messages, sometimes with photos about what our little guy is doing. Upon our return, we are provided written notes and ancecdotes about Thomas' visits. He also provides an after-the-fact visit just to put closure in visit. We thoroughly recommend this company and, in particular, Thomas. read more
