Cat Sitting in Calimesa

About: If you’re not covered in dog hair, your life is incomplete. Growing up, I have always had dogs and cats. Animals have always fallen in love with me because I show them compassion and trust. Sharing a bond with animals has always been something that comes easy to me in ways of showing them love, having a great time throwing frisbees and tennis balls around and having their tongue stick out cause of how much fun they had after a long day of playing around. I do take care of my neighbors dog who is a senior and has ongoing health issues. I have experience with diabetic, epilepsy dogs for the past 10 years.LGBTQ+ friendly Caring for pets is a natural part of my routine. I keep my schedule open so I can be flexible and adapt to each pet’s needs, whether that’s early morning walks, midday drop-ins, or extended care. I prioritize consistency, safety, and giving pets plenty of attention so owners can feel confident while they’re away. I care for pets by following their routine as closely as possible while maintaining a safe, calm, and clean environment. In my home or a client’s home, I start by reviewing feeding schedules, walk routines, medication needs, and any behavioral notes provided by the owner.

“Jayne was so thoughtful and attentive taking care of our two cats. She went above and beyond to communicate with us each day, and when we got home it was evident how much care she had put into ensuring their spaces were clean and their needs were met, including playtime and feeding. We came home to two very happy cats. We are so grateful to have found her and will definitely reach out to her the next time! Highly recommend!”

“Paula is great! She handled my foster dog with love, care and compassion. She arrived on time of not a little early which put me at ease so I didn’t have to worry about her being late. She went above and beyond, filling my dogs pool up with fresh water, hand fed my dog when she didn’t want to eat and took her for walks. My foster dog absolutely adored her! I will definitely be using Paula in the future!! Thank you Paula!”

“Marlo was amazing with our 2 pups, she’s very professional and the dogs loved her. Will definitely use her again if me and my family have to go out of town!”

“I am so happy we found Maureen! She lives just a couple of blocks away and was SO good with our kitties. She’s reliable, comes at the same time every day (important as we have one kitty on meds) and they were so much calmer when we got home. Our 15 yr. Old kitty didn’t even hide when she came over, that’s MAJOR! She goes above and beyond and we are very happy to have her.”

“Saige did such a great job watching our cat Church! She kept us in the loop the entire time and even sent picture updates of Church. We felt we were in good hands with Saige the entire time and will definitely use her services again.”

“Rachel and her daughter Ireland did an amazing job taking care of my cat, Meadow for 1 month at their home. They send me frequent videos and pictures showing how affectionate Meadow was towards them. They talked to her, brushed her, and petted her. Meadow appeared to be very comfortable and safe. Ireland also took the time out of her busy schedule to drive for over 45 minutes to bring Meadow back home as I was sick. They truly went above and beyond. I would highly recommend them to anybody needing compassionate care for their pet. Thank you, Lisbeth Smith”

“Brittney did a fantastic job & our 3 cats liked her a lot! She followed our instructions to a tee. She’s very reliable & friendly. We will definitely use her again for any future trips! Thanks Brittney!”

About: Could your dog benefit from more than just a standard walk? We go for hikes! Book the puppy walking rate and I’ll pick up your dog, transport them in a crash-rated crate, and take them for a 2-3 mile hike (60-75 mins), typically the Yucaipa Creek South Loop out of Gateway Ranch in Redlands), and then bring them home! Transportation is included within a 15 mile radius of Calimesa. I have been caring for pets (both mine and others’) since my early teens. Dogs are my hobby, primarily nose work sports and dock diving, but also obedience and trick training. I love getting to play with their different personalities and finding what they like to do. I also have two very dog-friendly dogs (and one who doesn’t make good choices so he doesn’t get to hang out with new friends), so if you’d like your pup to walk with a buddy just let me know! I work a fairly flexible schedule from home, with Friday being my part-time in-office day. My dogs go for walks in the mornings and evenings, and occasionally when I need a break from staring at a screen. Adding a drop-in visit or walk or swapping out my dogs for a customer’s dog(s) is easy peasy! Must have proof of vaccination for your dog (rabies, bordetella, and DA2PP) This is to keep your dog(s) and my dogs safe :) My dogs are also fully vaccinated and I’m happy to provide proof.

“Elaine was awesome and very willing to learn a complex medication for my special needs Kitty. She took the time to get to know my fur baby, jumped into care mode, then right back to play time. I feel confident that families and pets will love the attentive care she can provide. Thank you!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was young, Helping and playing with my family’s two big dogs. Along with owning two smalls dogs as well. I was known for walking the neighborhood dogs when I was younger. I currently have my own dog. I’m currently working 4 days a week so I do have 3 days available to spend time extra time loving and caring for any animals. I am paying attention to my surroundings, as well as the placement of the dog itself to keep the dog safe from any possible harm or conflict.

About: Hello, my name is a Lynette and I’m 25 years old. I’m a part time esthetician and a full time fan of animals :) I have grown up around animals my whole life. I love animals and I’m very patient and kind to all furry friends as well as reptiles, birds, and even farm friends 🥰. I was an owner of 2 disabled animals and all of my pets were rescued. I started house sitting/ animal care when I was a teenager for family and that turned into friends of family requesting me and now I would like to try a site like Rover to help out more people and their fur babies to have a peaceful and loving experience with a caretaker like myself. If you have any questions, feel free to ask me. I work part time as an esthetician, but can work around most schedules and I am flexible with my time. I can do check in visits, play time, baths, or extended stays if needed. I have 10+ years experience of care and love for all pets. I will listen carefully to all instructions and take care of your pet and all their needs.

“Excellent!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Beyond belief happy and overjoyed to have Krystina!!!!! She is my forever cat sitter. VERY grateful for all she does!”

About: What sets me apart is the level of care and attention I give to every pet. I’m reliable, patient, and genuinely love building trust with animals — especially those that are shy, anxious, or high-energy. I follow routines closely, communicate clearly with pet parents, and treat every home and pet with respect. Your pet’s comfort and safety always come first. Caring for pets is already part of my everyday life, so it fits seamlessly into my routine. I build my days around consistent walk times, feeding schedules, and check-ins, allowing me to be fully present and responsive to each pet’s needs without feeling rushed. I focus on creating a calm, low-stress environment where pets feel safe and at ease. I move at their pace, avoid overstimulation, and pay close attention to body language to ensure they’re comfortable at all times.

“Great job!”

“So incredibly nice, responsive, and communicative! It can be stressful to leave pets for an extended period of time and she was so nice about everything, even sent pics of the pets!”

About: What sets me apart as a pet sitter is my deep love for animals, combined with a unique blend of hands-on experience and psychology education. With a four-month dedicated dog sitting gig and years of caring for friends’ and family’s dogs, cats, and other pets, I’ve honed my ability to connect with animals of all ages and temperaments! My adoration for pets drives me to go beyond basic care, ensuring each furry friend feels loved, secure, and engaged. My understanding of animal behavior allows me to tailor my approach to each pet’s unique needs. For puppies, I bring patience and expertise in early training techniques, such as teaching basic commands like "sit" and "stay" or supporting housebreaking efforts, to help them grow into confident, well-mannered dogs. For senior pets, I provide gentle care, managing their comfort, mobility, and medication needs. I'm available everyday, but Sundays a little less so. I'm very flexible as I am working remotely and get to create my own schedule daily. As a dedicated pet caregiver, I treat every pet and home with the utmost respect, care, and compassion. My approach is rooted in understanding each pet’s unique needs, personality, and routine to ensure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while their owners are away. I follow all client instructions meticulously, maintaining a disciplined schedule for feeding, walks, playtime, and any medications to keep your pet’s routine consistent. Whether it’s a leisurely stroll, an energetic play session, or a cozy cuddle, I engage with your pet intentionally, fostering a nurturing environment filled with kindness and love. I’m attentive to their emotional and physical well-being, offering gentle reassurance to anxious pets or extra playtime for those bursting with energy. Your home is treated with the same respect as my own—keeping it tidy, secure, and just as you left it. I provide regular updates with photos and messages so you can feel connected and confident that your furry friend is in caring hands. My goal is to create a stress-free, joyful experience for your pet, ensuring they feel cherished and secure until you return
