House Sitting in Belvedere Heights

“Melody was really great with my cats. They were all taken care of. I will definitely be rescheduling with her on my next trip if she's available.”

About: Hi there! I'm Jehan, a former tech professional who understands demanding schedules all too well. I now provide reliable, consistent care for busy dog owners in the Riverside area. I have experience with raising both cats and dogs, having trained my mini Australian Shepherd, Sadie, from puppyhood. This hands-on experience has given me a practical understanding of different pet personalities, energy levels, and training needs. Whether you need 30-minute walks, potty breaks, feeding, or structured training sessions, you can count on punctual, attentive service tailored to your routine. I promise to treat your pet(s) as I do my own, keeping them safe and loved. I work during the financial market hours, so mornings are not usually available, but afternoons and evenings are open during the week, with full availability on weekends. I am deeply committed to the safety, comfort, and well-being of every pet in my care. Having successfully raised my mini Australian Shepherd, Sadie, to four years old, I maintain a structured daily routine that includes fresh water three times a day, two scheduled feedings, a dedicated 30-minute walk, and one engaging play session—whether with a frisbee in the backyard, a ball at the park, or tug-of-war indoors. This consistent, stimulating environment keeps Sadie active, happy, and well-balanced. I’ll bring this same level of attentive, disciplined care to your pets as well. All services are conducted with full transparency, including real-time updates and photo reports upon request. Walks and visits occur in a calm, smoke-free, pet-friendly setting, and I carefully match activities to each dog’s temperament and energy level to ensure a safe and positive experience. References and background verification are available upon request. Your pet’s security, health, and happiness remain my highest priority.

“Elena did a wonderful job pet-sitting our spoiled fur babies. She communicated well, with lovely pictures. We will definitely have her come back!”

About: I prioritize clear, timely communication with owners and provide honest updates, photos, and notes after each visit. I have taken care of several different pets such as cats and dogs. I will always ensure the best care for the pets under my supervision. I can also keep up with high energy pets, but also provide calm energy for the pets who like to just hang around. I am currently working part time and will be attending medical school starting in the fall. My weekends are almost always free and can frequently provide overnight care during the week. I will ensure to provide clear and frequent communication with host when taking care of your pets in your home or when visiting. Trust is a priority to me when taking care of your pets so I will ensure it is earned from both your pets and from yourself.

“Lynna was a wonderful dog sitter and houseguest. She communicated clearly, followed all directions, and went above and beyond in the care for our pup. There was never any doubt in our mind that our dog was well taken care of! We 100% recommend her and will be calling her back again.”

“Mae did a great job taking care of our corgis. When I returned home they were happy and safe and feed. She is trust worthy and sent pictures of the puppies. She as booked with us last minute on new years which was amazing help to us. My house was also how I left it. Would definitely book again. Thank you Mae.”

“Larissa was outstanding! Very detail oriented, friendly, and a great new friend for our pups! I would highly recommend her and ask her to sit for us again! Thanks Larissa!”

About: I always take priority in trying to get tailored to any dog’s personality, 24/7 contact with the owner to make them more comfortable, and I make sure they have an accessible source of water. Even though I’m currently in college right now I am looking after my 2 cats and 2 dogs with not much to do all day. I usually take my two dogs on a walk in the early mornings after they have their breakfast and one in the afternoon I also do checks if they need to use the restroom by taking them out for about 10 minutes. With my cats I feed them in the morning, play with their favorite toys, and most of the time just hangout together either petting them and sometimes talking.

About: I have a deep love and respect for every pet I care for. I adopted a sick puppy, and through patience and nurturing, he has blossomed into a beloved member of my family. This experience has taught me the profound bond that can develop between a pet and their caregiver, highlighting the importance of kindness and understanding in every interaction. I’ve also gained experience by showing care and compassion to animals in need around me, making sure they feel safe and comfortable. Each animal has its own unique personality and needs, and I strive to create a warm and welcoming environment for them all. My commitment to treating every pet with compassion ensures they feel loved and secure while in my care. I work remotely as a freelancer, which gives me the flexibility to integrate pet care into my daily routine seamlessly. This allows me plenty of time to spend with furry friends, playing, cuddling, and ensuring they receive the love and attention they deserve. My schedule enables me to provide a nurturing and engaging environment, ensuring that every pet feels comfortable and cared for throughout the day. When caring for pets in my home or a client's home, I prioritize their safety and comfort above all else. I follow their food schedule diligently to ensure they maintain a healthy routine. Engaging with pets through playtime and interactive activities is essential, as it keeps them stimulated and happy. Since I do not have pets of my own, I can provide a safe and distraction-free environment for them. Living in an apartment allows me to easily take them for walks outside in green areas, where they can explore and enjoy some fresh air. If needed, I can safely crate pets to provide them with a secure space to relax. My home is a welcoming environment filled with love and attention, ensuring every pet feels safe and at ease. Building trust is key, and I take the time to understand each pet's unique personality and needs, creating a positive experience for both them and their owners.

“Douglas has been excellent in calming this puppy mom! I have a busy schedule, and he has been flexible, and open to discussing short notice requests. My puppy doesn’t get as nervous in his crate when I tell him “uncle Doug” is coming for a visit :). He has excellent communication skills, and provides updates while my boy is in Douglas’s care.”

About: I do not have professional experience with pets but I have my own dog so I personally know the love and care that they need. I was in charge of training her and making sure she was potty trained as well as socialized I can work mostly any time from Monday -Thursday and during the day on Friday and Saturday ! I do have a job on the weekend but it is in the evening In my home I have a front and back yard with grass so the babies can run around as well there is a park a 3 minute drive away from the home to make sure they are able to play and run out their energy. Since I have my dog with me they would have a companion to be with. With my clients home I would make sure to run everything by them and their boundaries

About: I’m a PhD student with long periods of studying/working from home that allows me to use to spend this extra time caring for cats meanwhile caring for my own cat as well! I am available for drop in visits and house-sitting. I live close to my school which allows me more time at home and the nature of my job allows me the flexibility to be at home more often than a traditional 9-5. I’ll make sure to take care of basic necessities like food/water and playtime as well as any messes that spring up each day. I’ll be sure to take note of any special requests as well within reason!

“Angellee recently house & cat sat for us and everything went super smoothly! Great communication and lots of pics and updates provided. I felt like both my home and cat were in good hands. Hope to have her watch our kitty again!”

“We highly recommend Jose as a dog / house sitter! We hadn’t been able to travel for a while after moving to the area because we no longer had a trusted dog sitter nearby. Boarding facilities never felt like the right fit for our three huskies, so we decided to try a house sitter through Rover. After interviewing several sitters, Jose stood out as the best fit and he absolutely proved us right. Caring for three huskies is no easy task (any husky owner knows about the pulling, high energy, strong personalities, and quirks), but Jose handled them wonderfully. He sent us lots of photo updates, and it was clear from the pictures that the pups were happy and excited. He was very communicative and always on time. If he was ever running behind, he let us know right away. He followed all of our rules and suggestions, made sure the dogs got their energy out, timed their walks around the summer heat, and kept them safe and cared for. On top of that, Jose went above and beyond by watering our plants, keeping the house clean and tidy, and being flexible when we asked if he could extend his stay by an extra day at the last minute. We came home to happy pups and a spotless house. We would absolutely love to have Jose watch our dogs again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy, responsible, and caring sitter for their furry family members.”

About: Hi, I am looking to expand my experience pet sitting. I myself have 4 cats and 3 dogs. But don’t worry I share custody of them. I have pet sat for a 2 families previously and could not be more of a pet lover if I tried. I'm currently working part-time, so I'll have plenty of time to play with your pups! I am available the weekends and during the week days I am available before 12 and after 6. I have a fenced back yard, and I have two friendly cats. I make it a point to play with them and depending on the pet take them for walks. But often times I would just cuddle with them.

“I recently moved to the area and needed a pet sitter for a vacation I was taking. Upon meeting Melissa I was immediately put at ease with her demeanor and veterinary knowledge, since one of my dogs is a senior with some medical conditions. She texted me everyday that I was away and sent pictures of the pups, to assure me they were doing well. I will definitely be using g her services again!”

“Denae was so helpful and considerate. She took great care of my cat and the house. I came home to a clean litter box and emptied trash cans. My cat adores her, especially that she dedicated time every day to sit on the floor and play with her. Highly recommended!”

Mary J.

“Rachelle is always reliable and takes good care of our babies! We have a many pets and leaving them behind can be nerve-wracking, so it's been great to have someone who's so consistent. She has been able to sit for us last minute or for weeks at a time. Our pets seem to like her a lot too!”
