About: I've had animals all my life. Cats, dogs, horses. Not a professional trainer, I can do some obedience training, I've pet sat for several friends and family over my life. I'm hoping to get and give more experience to other families and animals by being here in Rover 💙 I vibe with animals better than people. Maximus, my pittie, is my life and working with animals is a peace I can't describe. Pets are family 💙 Currently just got laid off of work, I have all the freetime in the world until further notice 🙃 I used to be 40 hrs 5 days a week, right now though, open schedule Every animal is unique and care should be done by the individuals needs. I am an Empath and enjoy bonding with animals. They'll be treated like family.

About: I have worked with dogs of all ages from newborn to elderly. I have 15+ years of experience working specifically with Dachshunds, terriers of various breeds, and chihuahuas. I also have lots of experience working with many other breeds as well. Some examples include Germans Shepherd, Australian Shepherd, Great Piramese, Havanese, Pomeranian, Lasa Aspa, and Husky. I work part time as a courier for UberEats. So, I am able to make my own schedule whatever it needs to look like for me to give 110% of my time to the pets that I'll be sitting. I'm available all-day Monday-Sunday 24/7. :) I will only be sitting pets at the clients home. I will take instruction on caring for the pet(s) very close to heart and follow all direction as best as I can. For me, I am not just looking after a dog or cat. I am looking after a family member.

“Thanks Madeline, always helpful and responsive.”

About: I've had dogs in my family since I was born and one cat for a time. I've had multiple large dogs and many small dogs. At home we currently have three dogs, one of which is about 18 years old. Since I was about 8, I began helping to feed, groom, and especially bath my dogs. Whenever my older brothers who live outside of the house needed someone to babysit their dog, I was always given the job. I had to care for one of their dogs, Shelby, a pitbull, very carefully to give her antibiotics when she got spayed as well as to clean her ears with a medicinal wash twice daily because she had mange at the same time. I also have experience volunteering at a no-kill animal shelter for two years where my job was to socialize and groom the kittens, cats, puppies, and grown dogs. I am currently enrolled in online classes, so I don't have a set schedule except I'm busy Tuesdays before 12pm and Thursdays before 1pm. Unfortunately, I won't be able to provide home services as I am currently living in a dorm in my college which does not allow pets.

About: I'm from always head pets.I've cared for them alone since I was ten years old. I'm responsible. In love, playing with them and walking them and talking to them. Both cats and dogs my entire life as well as helping with family members pets. I'll be attending Rcc in the fall with only four units, so I'll have plenty of time to care for your pet. I look forward to meeting new animals. I have a loving multipoo and an older cat We have a fenced in yard and lots of space. I live with my parents. I'm studying to be animal behaviorist in college.

About: About Me Hi, I’m Marissa, owner of Shining Light’s K9 Services! I have extensive experience caring for dogs of all breeds, ages, and temperaments—including those with aggression, reactivity, or other behavioral challenges. Over the years, I’ve worked in multiple dog hotels/doggy daycares, in pet grooming, and as a freelance trainer, giving me a well-rounded understanding of canine care and behavior. I specialize in creating a safe, structured, and comfortable environment for every dog I work with. Whether your pet needs a calm walk, a high-energy run, targeted training, or simply loving companionship, I tailor my approach to their unique needs. Administering medications is never an issue, and I pride myself on excellent communication so you can feel at ease while you’re away. Your dog’s safety, happiness, and progress are always my top priorities. With me, your fur baby will be in experienced, loving, and capable hands. Pet care is my full-time job and passion. I run my own business, Shining Light’s K9 Services, from home, so caring for dogs is part of my daily routine from morning to night. I structure my day around feeding schedules, walks, playtime, training sessions, and any special care each pet needs. Because this is my full-time work, I have the flexibility to give your pet consistent attention, exercise, and companionship throughout the day. Your pet’s safety and comfort always come first. In my home, I offer multiple sleeping options so your dog feels at ease—whether that’s a cozy crate, a comfy dog bed in my living room, or even in my bedroom if that’s what they’re used to. I maintain a clean, secure environment, with constant supervision and safe spaces for rest or play. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow your instructions exactly to keep their routine consistent and stress-free. I make sure food, water, and medications are given on schedule, and I always take time for walks, play, and affection. Whether at my home or yours, my goal is to ensure your pet feels safe, happy, and loved while you’re away.

I currently have open availability. If my schedule changes, I will communicate as soon as possible and I will update it on the app as well. I’m responsible, dependable, and respectful of both pets and their homes. During walks and drop-in visits, I’ll always make sure your pet is safe, comfortable, and getting the attention they need.

We will have so much fun together! No matter what type of dog you have i promise we will have a great time 😁 I am a very active sitter, we will mostly spend the day playing with toys (until hes tired) then we’ll eat and watch a show, obviously taking potty breaks when needed.

About: I’ve been a dog owner for the past 6 years, so I understand how important it is to make sure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Over the years, I’ve gained hands-on experience with feeding, walking, playing, and taking care of my dog’s everyday needs. I’m a responsible, outgoing, and active person who genuinely enjoys spending time with dogs.

I understand that every dog has its own personality and routine, and I’m happy to adjust to their specific needs. My goal is to make sure your dog feels right at home while giving you peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands! I’m currently a student at UC Riverside, where I’m involved in clubs, intramural sports, and other campus activities. Although I stay involved with school, my classes are primarily in the mornings, which gives me plenty of flexibility throughout the rest of the day to care for pets. I’m able to work around my class schedule to provide dog walks, feeding, playtime, and house sitting. I can also go back and forth between campus and your home to make sure your dog is fed, checked on, and given the attention they need. I enjoy staying active and spending time with dogs, and I’m committed to making sure your pets are well cared for while you’re away! When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well taken care of.

I understand that every dog has different needs and personalities, so I’m happy to follow any specific instructions from their owner. I also make sure to keep the home clean and organized, respect the owner’s space, and provide updates so they know their pet is doing well. My goal is to make sure your dog feels loved and comfortable while you’re away!

Im here to give your pets the time they need whether that be through time, attention, exercise, or whatever care they need. Im committed to being a reliable and consistent care for each pet I look after! I try to focus on making your pets comfortable and as close to their routine as possible due to the change in caretaking, I understand the affects it can have on our animals when there is change in their routine.
