Pet Sitting Butterfield Lake Estates

About: I have taken care of cats since I was about 10 years old and dogs since I was about 13. Shortly after I moved out I adopted puppy then a kitten. It was definitely fun training my own puppy. I am currently a stay at home mom who also homeschools my kids. Our dogs are taken out for walks during the day and night. We love playing and cuddling with our cats and dogs throughout our school day. We crate our dogs when we are not home. If your pet is needed to be in a crate when you are not home, I can ensure that will happen.

“This was our first time using rover and it looks like my dogs were super happy!!! Brittney was great and we’re looking forward to using her again!!”

About: We know it can be nerve-racking to trust someone new with your pet. Jonathan and I care for pets together. Jonathan brings a calm presence, a second set of eyes, and dependable backup, while I bring more than 10 years of hands on professional animal care experience from shelters, dog daycare and boarding, zoos, and other animal care settings. I've worked with dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, personalities, and care needs, from puppies, kittens and seniors to pets needing medication or a little extra patience. My experience taught me how to read animal body language, notice subtle changes, handle pets safely, and follow detailed care instructions while keeping their normal routine as familiar as possible. We typically attend Meet & Greets and complete visits together, so your pet has a chance to get comfortable with both of us and you know exactly who will be caring for them. Whether your pet needs a walk, playtime, meals, medication, enrichment, or simply some company, we'll follow your preferences and get to know what makes them happiest. You'll get plenty of photos and a real update after every visit so you never have to wonder how they're doing. Our schedule is flexible, and we plan our bookings carefully, keep our Rover calendar current, and make sure we have enough time to give each pet our full attention. Unless we've agreed on a different arrangement with you beforehand, we typically complete our bookings together, which gives your pet two attentive caregivers and provides extra attention and safety during walks and visits. We also like to attend Meet & Greets together so you and your pet can get comfortable with both of us before the first visit. Before the first visit, we like to learn your pet’s routine, equipment, boundaries, preferences, and anything else that helps them feel comfortable and safe. Long instructions and little quirks are always welcome — you know your pet best. We double check doors, gates, collars, harnesses, and leashes, and make sure your home is secure before we leave. On walks, we stay aware of our surroundings, pay attention to your dog’s body language, and give unfamiliar people or animals plenty of space when needed. We never allow off leash time or interactions with other pets or people unless you’ve specifically approved it. We also understand that not every pet wants immediate attention from someone new. Shy or cautious pets are given the space and time they need to warm up at their own pace. Our goal is simple: follow your preferences, respect your pet’s comfort, and care for them as safely and thoughtfully as we would want someone to care for our own.

“This was my very first experience using Rover, and the process couldn’t have been easier thanks to Anthony. He walked me through every step of setting up the drop-in appointments and truly went above and beyond to ensure everything was taken care of. During our family trip, I felt completely at ease knowing my pets were in such good hands. Anthony’s care, attention to detail, and genuine passion for animals really stood out. I’ll absolutely feel confident reaching out to him again for future dog-sitting needs. Thank you so much, Anthony, for taking such amazing care of Echo and Mochi, your dedication truly shows!”

About: I fortunately was born into a household that loves all kinds of animals from fish to dogs to rodents. I have developed consistent routine skills just from the responsibility that is given when owning a pet. I have been a designated pet sitter for friends ensuring that their pets just as healthy and happy as they are with their owner! I’m patient and integral to instructions making sure each pet gets proper care. I’m especially good at training dogs, both puppies and adults. Pet care-taking has taught me fundamental values that I carry with me today! I’m currently a college student at Cal State University of San Marcos and commute back and forth. I am currently unemployed so my hours are very flexible and I am very available. My pets are primarily indoor pets and are usually hanging out on the furniture, however, I let them out my fenced backyard frequently for potty breaks or if they need to let out energy to play. During these times I make sure to an eye on them until they come back inside. I take them on walks every other day consistently in the morning. During feeding time, I ensure each pet is separated during and take any necessary precautions to prevent food aggression. I am attentive to any aggressive/bad behavior and know how to respond accordingly. On the other hand, I always make sure to reward good behavior with lots of love and treats. For cats, I am a clean freak and make sure the empty box is always empty. Overall, I provide protective but intentional care with all pets!

About: I have always lived in a house with dogs. I have experience in administering medication to dogs anywhere from birth to the senior years. I have experience leash training as well as house training. I currently work a part-time serving job with very flexible hours. I have reliable transportation and can take same day appointments! I am able to check in as many times as needed as well as stay overnight, I do live in a house with a lot of animals so I don’t believe it would be a good idea to take other pets into my home but, I can guarantee to treat your pets and home as if they are my own when in my care. As a teenager I often did house/child/pet care for people in my community. I understand that I am a guest in your space and I can promise to act with respect, kindness, and integrity as I care for what is yours.

“Thank you for taking care of Zoey! She is a tough cat but you were able to deal and get through. Lucas showed on time and followed instructions thoroughly. Was a easy process and he is very trusting. Was a pleasure meeting you Lucas!”

About: I don’t have issues with watching/walking more than one dog at a time. I’ve been pet sitting/house sitting for my friends/neighbor’s two dogs for the past 3 years. I have an 11 year old Shiba Inu who I love to death. Even though he can be a brat at time. My dog lives with my mom, so house sitting for you will not be an issue.

About: Growing up, my environment was filled with dogs, which gave me hands-on experience with different breeds early on. I have cared for everything from small, high-energy breeds like Chihuahuas and Yorkies to larger and stronger breeds like Rottweilers and Pit Bulls. This exposure taught me how to adapt to the unique needs of each dog, including their routines, feeding habits, personality quirks, and behaviors. My ability to connect with dogs of all sizes and temperaments ensures they feel secure and cared for under my supervision. Overall, I have six years of experience caring for dogs of different breeds, sizes, and temperaments, making knowledge, communication, and observation key skills of mine!

“Bobby was fantastic! He completed a drop-in visit for our dog and went above and beyond our expectations. Even though we only booked a 30 minute visit, he spent extra time playing with her to make sure she got plenty of attention and exercise. He also made sure she was fed and that her water bowl was full before leaving. It gave us great peace of mind knowing she was so well cared for while we were away. Bobby was reliable, caring, and clearly loves animals. We will absolutely book him again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter!”

About: I've taken care and raised Dogs and cats since I was a little kid. All different breeds and ages and I love them all equally ❤️ I'm available for pets all the time. I make myself available so you can rest assured that your beloved pets are in loving hands ❤️ I play with them, feed them, walk them and give them the attention that they need. Pets need the same love that we do ❤️

About: I have had a love and respect for all animals for as long as I can remember. I grew up on a small farm with chickens, goats, peacocks, ducks, one pig, and family dogs and cats. I remember waking up early before school to go feed all the animals with my grandma every morning(she lived with me and my parents). We’d take in every stray cat that wondered on our property. My grandma and i would catch the stray cats in a cage and take them to the vet. The baby goats would occasionally be rejected by their mothers which resulted in me and my grandma having to bottle feed the rejected baby. I truly had a blessed childhood to be surrounded by animals. Our first family dog was named Pepper and she is a Flat Coated Retriever. My baby passed over the rainbow bridge this past May and i was destroyed but she gave us the most amazing 16 years of her life being the most perfect angel well behaved dog. When i turned 14 i asked for a puppy and my parents said yes as long as i understood the puppy would be my responsibly since they both work and at this point in my time my grandma had passed 2 years prior. I said i understood and they got me an Alaskan Malamute puppy. I love him dearly but geese he was a stubborn trouble maker. I worked with him every day to potty train him and cate train him until we were comfortable with him free roaming the house. I also taught him tricks and how to walk by my side when we went on walks and hikes. He grew to the 120 pound gentle giant he his now. He lives in norcal with my parents while i’m here in socal for college. I currently do mainly remote social media marketing work. However i do have to go in person to my work randomly throughout the month but not super often. I live in a house with a fenced yard and six other female roommates. I love animals and believe attention and enrichment is very important when it comes to pet care and so I will do my very best to make sure your pet feels cared for and comfortable whether that’s in my home or yours or simply on a walk!

About: Hello! I currently have 1 English bulldog. I used to have a Rottweiler, a Yorkshire terrier, and 2 pugs who recently passed (RIP). Recently, I’ve dog-sat an English bulldog (who had a laundry list of health issues and daily medications and needed to be walked at least three times a day) for about three weeks. I’ve also recently cat-sat for about a week! I also have experience dog-sitting a little French bulldog puppy. That being said, I’ve taken care of dogs my whole life. Additionally, I’m looking to gain more experience taking care of cats. I love all animals, and I love taking care of them. When your dogs come over, I’ll be taking care of them but so will the rest of my family. We’re obviously a dog family, so we will give them so much love and attention! We also have a big backyard and other friendly dogs for them to play with. I can’t wait to walk with your dogs! I just moved back home from New York City, and I miss all the walking so much. I’m not sure who’ll be more excited for walks—your dog or myself. I hope you choose me! Thanks anyway (: I’m currently a part-time intern at an environmental non-profit, so I’ll have plenty of time to care for and play with your pet! I’m also a morning person, so I can be up early if that’s what your pet prefers. I love being outdoors, so I’ll take your dog for as many walks as their little heart desires. I like to give your pets as much attention as possible, and play with and walk them as much as they’d like. I want them to feel comfortable with me, and I want to make sure I’m getting their activity and potty needs met!
