About: I’m a lifelong cat owner and crazy cat lady! I have two special needs cats so I understand how important it is to find someone you trust with your pet. I’ve cared for cats of all ages and I love getting to know the unique personalities of each and every one. I'm experienced in giving medications, including pills, liquids, inhalers, and injections. I’m well versed in cat body language and I enjoy taking the time to earn their trust, respect their boundaries, and make sure they're healthy and happy while their people are away. I don't mind staying a bit longer for visits if need be, especially for shy cats who need time adjusting to new people in their environment. I work full-time Monday through Friday, but I’m available for drop-in’s after I’m off work at 6pm. I don’t work on weekends and have flexible availability Saturdays and Sundays. I will follow your care instructions to a T. Whether it's something as routine as simply feeding and playing with your cats, or more complex, like providing care for special needs, I will always make sure your cat feels safe and comfortable in your home.
About: I can’t imagine living a life without being a dog mom. I’ve had dogs since my childhood and practically my entire adult life. I’ve had heartbreak from losing them because they were so loved. I’m retired and home mostly except for when I travel. I’m available to walk dogs and to play with them in fenced yard. I have a soft spot for all animals. My dog Holly is mostly an inside dog but always has access to fenced backyard through doggie door. The same would apply for any dogs I care for.
About: I don't just care for pets as a job, animals have been a core part of my life. I have personally owned both dogs and cats, giving me years of firsthand, real-world experience. I deeply understand the unique dynamics of both species, from reading a dog's body language on a long walk to respecting a cat’s independent boundaries.Because I have raised and cared for my own animals, I know the exact level of trust it takes to leave your furry family member with someone else. I treat every client's pet with the same patience, safety-first mindset, and individualized care that I gave my own. I am currently a college student and am not working a traditional job. This means my schedule is highly flexible and structured around my classes! Because I balance my time between my studies and my passion for animals, I can offer your pets consistent, reliable care. This setup allows me to easily accommodate midday walks, extended playtime sessions, and dedicated check-ins without the rush of a typical 9-to-5 workday. I'll be walking dogs but I'll be sure that they get adequate food and water before , during and after walks so that your pet stays happy and healthy
“Ria was wonderful! Communication was quick, booking was easy, and we could tell our doggo got some good exercise on his walk. Ria also left detailed notes and plenty of pics for us and we could tell he was getting plenty of attention. We felt completely comfortable leaving our furry family member in her care and highly recommend her.”

“Tara gave my dog an excellent walk! He came back well exercised and she sent plenty of pictures. I would definitely work with Tara again! She also made time for me on a very last minute appointment. Thank you Tara”

“Doobie has a great time with Lamar! She is getting older, and a bit slower, but she still looks forward to her walks with Lamar! After a couple years or more of walking with him, she loves him like family.”


About: I’m an experienced, intuitive dog caregiver who blends calm confidence with playful, genuine affection. I’ve worked with pups of all ages, sizes, and temperaments, and I’m especially skilled at reading body language, easing anxiety, and building trust with shy or energetic dogs. My hospitality background shows up in the way I communicate clearly, stay organized, and anticipate both the dog’s needs and the owner’s peace of mind. Whether it’s maintaining routines, handling medication, managing multi‑dog households, or keeping high‑energy pups happily engaged, I bring steady reliability and a warm, joyful presence that dogs connect with right away. Pet care fits easily into my routine since I work part‑time on weekends and I’m on summer break from school. I have plenty of open time during the week for walks, drop‑ins, and longer visits, and I balance my weekend job with consistent pet‑care hours. This flexibility lets me give each pet focused, reliable attention and maintain steady routines for kittens, senior cats, pregnant cats, and dogs alike. I provide a calm, stress‑free environment for every pet I care for. In my home, I offer a quiet space with no children, a fenced backyard for safe outdoor time, and a relaxed atmosphere where pets can settle in comfortably. When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their routines closely, keep their space tidy, and make sure they feel secure and comfortable in their familiar environment. Whether I’m hosting or visiting, I focus on safety, consistency, and creating a peaceful experience for each pet.
About: I’ve taken care of all types of pets! From fish to birds to dogs, I love them all. I have experience taking care of puppies and also senior dogs, like my pup of 14 years. I’d love to make sure your pal is well taken care of! I’m currently working part time so I’ll have plenty of time for your furry friends! I’m available most days and am fully willing to work with your schedules! My home is fully fenced in front and back yard so no worries about unwanted friends. I’m comfortable with adapting to what makes your pet comfortable, may that be more quality time, enrichment, outside time, or whatever they may need.
About: Hi! I’m Analise, a college student finishing up my last semester, which means I have plenty of flexibility and time to give your pets the attention and care they deserve! I’ve been caring for dogs my entire life, from energetic puppies to sweet senior pups. I especially love working with high energy dogs, anxious dogs, and pets who need medication or extra care. I’m patient, attentive, and comfortable adjusting my care to each pet’s individual needs and personality. As a full-time student with college classes three days a week and a part-time job, I’ve learned how to manage my time effectively. I carefully plan my schedule to make sure I can fit pet care in between my other responsibilities. On my days off from college or work, I’m fully available for longer visits, walks, or extended care. On busier days, I still have time between classes or shifts for quick check-ins, feeding, or short walks. Pet care is something I genuinely enjoy, so I always make sure it fits smoothly into my weekly routine I’m very careful and always pay close attention to each dog’s individual needs. Whether I’m in my home or the client’s, I make sure the pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for. I follow any specific instructions and routines closely, making sure the animal gets the right food, exercise, and attention. I’m also loving and playful, so pets not only feel looked after, they have fun too! I treat every dog like they’re my own.
About: I’ve grown up around animals my whole life, including dogs, cats, rodents, and reptiles. Family and friends have always trusted me to walk, feed, and care for their pets, and I truly enjoy giving them the love and attention they deserve. Hey there! My name is Mariah. I’m currently a junior at California State University, San Bernardino (CSUSB), studying Cybersecurity. My schedule is generally open unless I have a booked sitting or walking, or my calendar shows that I’m unavailable. Please be sure to send me a message or request a couple of weeks in advance for bookings or meet-and-greets, as some months can get quite busy. Make sure to get your request in early! Thank you so much for your interest in me—I truly appreciate it! When caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I always focus on providing a safe, loving, and stress-free environment. I follow all instructions given by the owner closely, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, exercise needs, medications, and any special routines. I make sure pets get plenty of attention, playtime, and affection, while also respecting their comfort levels and personalities. During drop-in visits and house sitting, I ensure pets are fed on time, walked or let out for bathroom breaks, and given enrichment through play, mental stimulation, and companionship. I keep their living area clean by refreshing water, cleaning litter boxes or picking up waste, and maintaining a tidy space. I also provide regular updates with photos and messages so owners feel confident and at ease while they’re away. For walks, I prioritize safety by using secure leashes and harnesses, paying close attention to the environment, and adjusting the walk based on the pet’s energy level, age, and weather conditions. Above all, I treat every pet as if they were my own and aim to make their time with me feel fun, comfortable, and full of care.
About: Hi there! I work remotely for my career so essentially I can housesit anywhere and any time as long as there is Wi-Fi. I am offering my services to house/dog/cat/fur baby sit to homes in the area. I am also willing to travel for the right situation. I have great references, if needed.

As I mentioned, I do work remotely for my main job, so if you book M-F, I will work from your home but I will still have plenty of time for adhering to your pets schedule, cuddles, and walks. I am open to long time sits for the right price/people/pets. Please message me on the side if you are interested and we can talk about your fur loved ones, price, location and dates. I am open 24/7 for sitting at this time. Please see the pics for some of my happy fur buddies and check out my recent reviews. I will send pictures of your fur babies to you daily, if you so desire, so that you know they are happy and healthy while you are away. I will treat your home like my home, and your pets like my pets, you might even come home to things better off then when you left. :) I have open availability for pet care as long as I don’t already have a pre arranged pet sit booked. Please check my rover calendar for my availability. And just in case send me a message to make sure I am still available. I will love your pets as if they were my own babies. I take this seriously as a job and your pets safety and care is my highest priority, rest assured that your pets are in good hands and you won’t have to worry about anything while you are gone.
