About: I have taken care of my dogs, my parents' dogs, and friends' dogs for years! I love small dogs but am open to working with a variety of breeds. I'm an actor and educator looking to pick up more work by spending time with some furry friends! I have a pretty flexible schedule and would love to work together. I adore dogs, and the comfort and safety of your furry friend is my number one concern. Belly rubs are a close second! I will ensure that your pet has only the utmost care and treatment.

About: I’ve had dogs of my own since I was little, so caring for animals has always been a big part of my life! I have experience feeding, bathing, grooming, trimming hair, cleaning paws, and taking dogs on walks. I’ve also pet-sat for others and genuinely love spending time with animals. I’m patient, caring, and happy to give every pet the love and attention they deserve, just like my own! 🐾 I am a college student and work sometimes but I’m usually available by 5pm on Monday and Wednesday, Thursdays 8am-3pm, and Fridays after 12pm. So I can do drop ins or walks in between classes or after. I make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved in their environment. I follow their usual routines for feeding, walks, and playtime, and always make sure they have fresh water and a clean space. I’m mindful of their individual needs and personalities, and I treat every pet and home with care and respect. I want owners to feel at ease knowing their furry family members are in good hands! 🐾

About: I’ve sat for many different dogs since I was 13. Family and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, play with, and apply any needed medications to their dogs. I’ve looked after small Chihuahuas to big Rottweilers, from ages 13 and under. I’m currently taking online community college courses on Mondays and Wednesdays. I’m available all day on weekends and weekdays to look after your amazing dogs! I think it’s best that a dog stay in their own environment so they can feel more comfortable. I will follow the rules you give about your house and pets to make sure they feel safe and your house stays clean and secure.

About: I’ve had pets as part of my family my entire life. Currently own 2 dogs and 1 cat…. They are great, give lots of joy, and keep me busy. I work from home and have a flexible schedule. I’d love to go on more walks and care for more cats and dogs. I have experience with many breeds and sizes. I don’t expect to board pets right now as we have a full household but I can walk and provide visits to your pets while you are out of town.

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. Whether it’s going on walks, playing outside, or just keeping them company, I always make sure they get plenty of attention and care. 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. Having my own dog for the past 7 years has taught me how important it is to follow a pet’s daily routine, whether that’s feeding, walking, playing, or just giving them attention and company. 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!

About: Hi, I’m Afton! I provide one-on-one care by accepting only one family’s pets at a time! I have a very quiet home, which is perfect for new guests. I have found that hosting one family’s pets at a time leaves me with more time to spoil and help your pets settle in. I love gaining new experience in pet care, I have watched newborn puppies, kittens, and even ducks! I have a senior pug, he has been with me since I started kindergarten. I absolutely adore senior dogs due to my experience with him, they hold a special place in my heart. My background also includes time at the Riverside Animal Shelter, where I trained dogs and made sure they were well-socialized, and ready to be adopted. Along with this, I have also volunteered at the Hidden Valley Nature Center! Mainly taking care of the animals and helping to maintain their habitats. I am a college student, working towards a masters degree. Working for Rover allows me to go to school and at the same time work from home. My neighborhood is very hilly if dogs need to let out energy. Regular bathroom breaks and additional walks are always part of our routine to keep them active and content. My goal is to make sure each dog feels loved, safe, and well cared for. I will provide a lot of enrichment activities to keep them occupied, puzzle toys are always a favorite.

About: About Me Hi, I’m Marissa, owner of Shining Light’s K9 Services!

I specialize in creating a safe, structured, and comfortable environment for every dog I work with.

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.

About: I’ve grown up surrounded by animals my whole life, from dogs to lizards and fish!

About: growing up on a farm I've always been closer to my dogs and puppies. Not only do they learn from us but I've realized that we learn from them as well. How to be a better companion and a caring parent to them as well. Dogs need a lot of affection and attention as well as we do. They show us to go out more and enjoy life, literally spending more time with dogs and puppies enhances your ability to be less stressed. All in all dogs are the best! I live in a fenced house that is an acre long and a non busy street with trails right behind, so there is no excuses for our companions to get into any trouble. I’m ready to love your pet as much as you are!

About: For the past four years, I’ve been dedicated to walking and sitting dogs of all ages and temperaments. Friends and family trust me because of my experience in behavioral therapy, allowing me to work with anxious or high-energy dogs effectively. I have boundless energy and patience, ensuring your pet gets the care and attention they deserve. Whether your dog needs a long, adventurous walk or gentle care, I’m here to provide a fun, safe, and enriching experience. I am currently working full time as a dog-walker/ sitter so I am very flexible. We can discuss what time and day you need me and I will plan ahead. I typically dog sit or dog walk at my clients' homes, and I make sure to follow their rules and guidelines when it comes to taking care of their pets.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and other pets ever since I was 12. I’ve also had experience with puppies and elderly dogs. Family and friends always rely on me to take care of their dogs while on vacation and I’d say I do a pretty good job! I am currently home for college and would love to pet sit for anyone in need of a sitter. Anytime works for me. I’d be happy to help! I usually like to give dogs a walk if they’re up for it. I give them food and make sure they’re well fed. I also give them baths on occasion!

“If I could give her 10+ starts I totally would. Jassiel was nothing but amazing since the day I messaged her. Within an hour she texted me back and schedule a meeting with my pups THE SAME DAY! How great is that? The meeting went great and my pups loved her! Me and my wife also were super pleased with Jassiel personality. She was friendly, respectful and even took notes of the things we were saying. We schedule two check ins for my 2 month old while we were gone and she went above an beyond. She kept me updated for both of the check ins and even send me great pictures of baby Nova. I am so grateful for having Jassiel as our pet sitter and I will definitely recommend her to anyone who is looking for a friendly, loving, and responsible pet sitter.”

About: From larger dogs to lizards, guinea pigs, and cats, every animal best friend deserves to be treated like family. I have spent many years volunteering at shelters and animal rescues, dog walking, and pet sitting for family and friends. I understand firsthand what it takes to care for animals with specialized diets and daily medication needs. My own cats require a bit more as they enter their senior years, so i understand how much patience it can take. That said, I know how important it is to maintain a routine, especially when your animal best friend misses you. I work a full-time remote job for a wildlife conservation nonprofit, which gives me the flexibility to stay with your best friend all day if you're interested. I'm happy to go above and beyond for your best friend, whether you're taking on family responsibilities, taking that much-needed vacation, or just need someone to stop by while you're away for a long day. I can't wait to connect with you and meet your pet best friend. I work a full-time remote job with a wildlife conservation non-profit. That said, my daily schedule is fairly flexible and can even include staying with your pet during the workday to keep them company. Weekends are also fairly flexible, although I try to make the most of my time with family and friends. So, I likely won't be able to spend the entire day with your pet as I would be during the weekdays, but I will still spend quality time with them when requested, especially if requested far enough in advance that I can schedule it into my weekends and around family. I make environmental safety a priority. I follow all precautions and safety guidelines you requested and avoid anything that could create a hazard or unsafe situation for your pet. I am familiar with cat CPR and the steps to take if you find a cat choking. These precautions also include saving your vet's contact information and finding the nearest emergency vet to remain prepared for any situation. If you request outside time, I will do so only in a secure location to minimize the risk of your furry friend getting lost or injured. My youngest cat (7 years old), has a few hours of supervised time in our fenced yard every morning. She also wears an AirTag collar whenever we aren't home or if she's in our yard, in addition to supervision. I have extra AirTags I can attach to your best friend's collar (or I can bring an extra collar) for additional monitoring while you're away, if you are interested.

About: I worked at a private kennel facility and handled up to 10 large breed dogs at any given time. The breeds I'm most familiar with are Bullmastiffs, German Shepherds, Akitas, Huskeys, Terriers, and Chihuahuas. There's not a dog I've met that I can't handle! I've helped raise and train a dozen puppies to be confident and obedient dogs. I've also taken care of dogs with health conditions, dietary restrictions, and specific care needs. I have experience with reactive and aggressive dogs with extensive knowledge of dog body language. I'm the main caregiver to my aging parents and I make their lives easy enough to still remain semi-independent. My schedule is mostly open save for doctor's appointments, so I have ample time to care for other's pets! I have a crate trained dog that has free roam of the house when I'm home. I try to incorporate enrichment activities and mental stimulation if I cannot take my dog on a walk or if the weather won't allow extended yard time.
