Caring for Homes, One Guest at a Time

Since 2021, I’ve been a full-time resident and homeowner in Cathedral City, and I know firsthand what it takes to keep a desert property running smoothly.

I began by helping Palm Springs homeowners with their short-term rentals and seasonal homes—everything from preparing for guest arrivals, coordinating check-ins, and handling mid-stay needs, to securing and checking properties after guests or owners depart. Over time, that work showed me just how valuable it is for property owners to have a reliable, local presence they can count on.

My background has always centered on providing attentive, client-first service and calmly solving problems in high-pressure situations. I bring that same mindset to Desert Property Care—professional, responsive, and dedicated to treating every property with the same care I give my own home.

At Desert Property Care, we know you’re trusting us with more than a house—you’re trusting us with your peace of mind. That’s why we promise dependable service, clear communication, and the same care we’d give our own home.

"Greeters" are key components for short-term stays. Our Greeter, Matthew, was top drawer; we immediately found Matthew to be genuinely caring and attentive. Matthew is an absolute gem who quickly responded to our any or every question or concern, and we cannot offer enough praise for this VRBO owner's "above the crowd" VRBO representative.
