Pet Sitting & Drop Ins in Canyon Springs, Riverside, CA

“Arica has been extremely helpful and caring for all of our animals. When she checks in on our two cats she is easy to communicate with, always sends great photos, and shows them lots of love. When we first started working with her caring for our elderly dog, she was extra attentive and took extra steps to make sure he received the help he needed. We really appreciate her kindness towards our animals and the kindness she showed us when our dog crossed the rainbow bridge. If you're looking for a new sitter, we highly recommend working with Arica.”

About: I am detail-oriented and will quickly pick up any differences in your pet's behavior over time. I have two (now senior) pet bunnies so I've learned how to pick up on subtle cues for pain or discomfort, even in animals who try to hide it. I'm great with shy and senior pets. BUT I also have the energy for dogs who love long walks or going on runs! I only work part-time, so I have lots of flexibility for scheduling! I am currently available Mon, Tues, Fri, Sat, and Sun anytime. Wednesdays and Thursdays I am busy in the afternoons and evenings. I cannot personally offer dogsitting within my own apartment, but I am available for drop-ins for those who would like to book potty breaks, feeding, walks, and/or playtime for when you are out of the house for several hours or in semi-emergencies.

“Casey did a great job! Cesar is an older dog and she kept a good eye on him, letting me know when he seemed off one day. She always sent me pics and reports of what he was up to, how he was eating, etc. I was thankful to have such a caring, experienced sitter! And she made awesome organic dog treats!! Would def use her again!”

“The meet and greet with Douglas was a great start to what would be a less worrisome trip out of town. This was my first time using a pet sitting service, and there were the initial jitters of providing access to my home, but after talking with Douglas and learning more about his experiences with pet sitting I felt at ease. The process of acquiring a sitter through Rover.com and the communication platform provided gave me a new source for planning future care for my cats.”

About: 15 years of animal experience, grew up with 2 labs, a pomeranian and most recently a cat. Experience giving animals medicine orally, walking, and playing. Currently unemployed to deal with some health issues, so I can be available whenever needed. Right now I assist with my sister's two anxious cats I understand that trust is essential when it comes to caring for pets, I promise to respect their boundaries and take things slowly if needed.

About: With a lifetime of experience caring for cats of all temperaments and the daily companionship of my own playful 2-year-old orange cat, I have developed a deep understanding of feline behavior, needs, and care. From providing medication and enrichment to ensuring comfort and security, I am dedicated to treating every cat as if they were my own. My patience, attentiveness, and love for animals make me an excellent choice for a dependable and compassionate pet sitter. As a part-time project management consultant, I have the flexibility to dedicate ample time to pet care during weekdays. I structure my schedule to ensure your cats receive consistent attention and care, whether it’s for feeding, playtime, or companionship. My experience with time management allows me to balance responsibilities effectively, so your furry friends are always my top priority when they’re in my care. When caring for pets in my client’s home, I prioritize creating a comfortable and familiar environment for them. I follow their established routines for feeding, playtime, and litter box maintenance, ensuring minimal disruption to their daily lives. I take time to bond with each cat, respecting their unique temperament, and provide plenty of affection or space as needed. Safety is always my top priority, and I keep the home secure while maintaining a clean and tidy space. If I were to care for pets in my own home, I would ensure they have a safe, clean, and enriching space with access to toys, cozy napping spots, and plenty of attention. I always maintain open communication with pet owners, providing updates and photos to keep them connected to their furry companions.

Pet care fits perfectly into my daily routine because I only work part-time, which gives me plenty of flexibility and availability to focus on your pet’s needs. I love starting and ending my days with walks, playtime, and quality one-on-one attention. I’m able to plan my schedule around feeding times, potty breaks, or longer visits, and I’m always happy to adjust to what works best for your pet. Their comfort and happiness are a top priority for me. In my home, pets are treated like family. I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved from the moment they arrive.

About: I’ve always loved dogs and their presence but I also miss my dogs back home and wanted some dog love because I see dogs around all the time which makes me miss my own. Im currently a college student and an athlete. Im good on working around your schedule and mine. I can always try to make time to walk your dog. Just need to be on the same page. I’m currently away from home but I do care for my own dogs very well. I make sure they have everything they need. Just let me know what needs to be done in your dogs interest.

About: I have cared for pets specifically Pit bulls since I was 8. Over the span of 12 years I have cared for seven Pit bulls; Also known as American terriers. I specifically highlight I have cared for pit bulls because I know people and society tend to shy away from this breed and attach a negative perception. I am more than willing to care for your pit and can handle just about everything. I have cared for super active, young pups to the senior dog who sleeps all day. I have also learned how to train and teach them how to sit, stay, hand commands and potty train. My dogs have since passed away and I no longer own any dogs. I learned so much about Pit bulls and of course dog needs that hav helped me in other areas of my life both professionally and personally. I absolutely adore them and all breeds and will be super enthused to care for your pet and their needs! I am mostly available to care for your pet during the weekends but I am also available early in the morning, evening and night. I attend university so I am mostly home if I am not at school. I live in a gated community and around several fenced parks so that I may play and walk with your dog. Also, if your dog were to stay at my home there is plenty of room for play and rest.

About: Hi fellow pet moms and dads! I grew up in a household full of pets. Any pet you can think of, I’ve raised it. I own two sweet kitties that I rescued and love more than anything! I’m always tempted to rescue a dog! I spend my free time helping out pet owners like you who need someone to give extra care and extra love to their sweet doggies. Anyone who knows me would say I’m reliable, honest, and compassionate. I firmly believe pets are like family and should be cared for as such. For Boarding Inquiries, please note I live in a 2bed apartment. While not as big as a normal house, I have plenty of room for a doggy and a big yard outside for him to explore while on a leash. In addition, all pets are kept separate and I never board multiple dogs at the same time. ☺️ Pet care is naturally part of my daily routine as I have 2 kitties. After, work, I have free time after I care for my kitties to help others with their pets. Every care changes depending on what the owner prefers. Of course the love and attention stays the same for every pet. I want your pets to feel safe and comfortable and happy.
