Club DSS Dog Sitting Services by Kat, owned and operated by the highly experienced Kat Todd, has been a trusted name in the pet care industry since 1999. With over two decades of dedicated service in California, Kat and her team are renowned for offering personalized, cage-free boarding and dog daycare in the La Quinta and Palm Springs area. As a certified dog training expert, Kat holds prestigious credentials such as the Best of 2020 Award, and certifications from the Animal Behavior Society and the American Kennel Club as a Canine Good Citizen Approved Evaluator. These accolades, along with certifications in pet behavior modification and dog obedience training, assure pet parents of the top-tier care and attention their furry friends will receive.

At Club DSS, the promise of exclusive care is fulfilled by limiting boarding to no more than four dogs at a time, ensuring a safe, stress-free atmosphere with private puppy suites and 24/7 supervision. This professional team, certified in pet CPR, specializes in creating a nurturing environment where dogs can socialize and play happily. However, to maintain this harmonious setting, Club DSS is unable to accommodate bully breeds or aggressive dogs. All dogs must be up-to-date on vaccinations and demonstrate a friendly, social temperament.

Convenience is also a priority at Club DSS, offering a pet taxi service that covers Palm Springs, Palm Desert, Indian Wells, and La Quinta. Whether you need dog daycare or boarding, Kat Todd and her qualified team are committed to making your pet's stay as enjoyable as possible.

Customer Reviews

We used Kat's pet sitting service for our 3 cats. She came into our garage with a special key that we left her and fed our cats, cleaned their bowls and even topped off our pool water while we were gone for 17 days. Kat was very responsive and texted us daily and even sent us photos of our cats during some of her visits. She's new to this business but you'd never know it. I highly recommend her for pet sitting. - San Diego, CA

Kat is a godsend!!!! We have a VERY excitable and impulse control-challenged dog. Before we got him, he lived the kennel life and had been trained to be a field dog...so he was bred to be extremely energetic, excited and focused for one thing. Until Kat came into our lives, the most we were able to get him to do was SIT and STAY. But that was about it. Play time was INSANE. He couldn't hear any commands being given to him, he would go absolutely bonkers trying to get the toy out of your hand; something just came over him and he was in a trance. A jumping, lunging, "get that toy at all costs" kind of trance. It was actually quite scary. We had him stay with Kat for 10 days for a training intensive. He came back a much calmer, more controlled dog. Play time has finally become something we are able to do with him, albeit with new commands and a fresh perspective and understanding on our end. He is now able to listen to commands and he even learned more! She taught us how to work with him and how to keep up training with him everyday. Throughout the whole time he was there, she would send us progress videos and show us the exercises she was doing with him and how to do them with him so we can keep refreshing with him on our own. It was so amazing and rewarding to see his progression. We now feel confident with our dog and our ability to work with him where he is at. Would NOT have gotten to this without Kat's help. Thank you!!! - Los Angeles, CA - March 2025
