Cat Sitting in Claremont

About: Hi! My name is Valentina, I’ve been walking dogs for three years now in New York City with another app. I recently moved to California for Veterinary School and it will be my first time working with Rover! I’ve volunteered at dog shelters where I was in charge of walking and feeding them and also administered medications when needed. In New York I had the opportunity to walk over 150 dogs as a part time job while I was also working as a vet assistant in a clinic where we were fear free certified so I take it very seriously to establish a fear free and trusted bond with each animal. I’m really patient with animals and always make sure that they’re having a good time during their walks because it’s not just a walk for them. It’s their opportunity to explore and have some enrichment time! I speak English, Spanish and French so I do my best to establish a clear and transparent communication with every owner about their expectations and requirements of each pet! I currently don’t have any pets here in California so I’m always thrilled to get to spend some time with other pets through these job! I hope I can be a good fit for your furry friend! I’m currently in veterinary school so my availability is mostly during the weekends or afternoons after 5pm. But during the summer I’m open to any other day! I always make sure to communicate as much as possible with the owners. I like to provide a clear picture of how the walk/ sitting is going and to make sure they can feel as close as possible to their pets while they are not with them. I like to let owners know when we are about to leave and then during a pause send them a picture during the walk but I would usually put my phone away until we go back just to be fully present during the walk. I always make sure they have clean water before I leave and to leave them with a treat or toy while I’m leaving just for positive reinforcement!

“Steven was gentle and patient with my dog. I recommend him.”

About: I’ve loved animals my whole life and grew up around dogs in my neighborhood, which taught me how to care for pets with patience and attention. I’m dependable, active, and committed to making every dog feel safe, comfortable, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. I’m doing undergrad research at Pomona College and my hours are roughly 9-3. I’m free most weekends, early mornings and evenings to take care of your pets. I can be flexible and adjust to whatever works for you. When caring for pets in my client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine consistent so they feel comfortable and stress-free. I make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, fresh water, meals on schedule, and a safe, clean environment. I also respect each pet’s personality and needs, whether they’re energetic, shy, or older, and I keep owners updated so they feel confident their pet is in good hands.

About: What sets me apart is my dedication to truly understanding each pet inside and outside of their homes. I offer senior care, follow routines closely, send constant updates, and pride myself on being punctual and reliable. Outside of pet sitting, I am a full time college student. However this will not stop me from caring for your pet as I will set time aside. I hope to offer my love and care while in college in Pomona and at home in San Rafael. If you are hoping to book me at either location feel free to reach out and I will provide my availability. Also feel free to ask any further questions :) As a full-time college student, pet sitting fits naturally into my weekly routine. Spending time with pets helps me de-stress, stay motivated, and balance school with something I truly enjoy. Please Read: My availability is subject to change due to workload, finals, etc. I will be taking classes during the fall, spring, and summer. But do not worry as I will stay on top of keeping you informed. In my personal home, I have limited back porch but surrounded by lots of grass areas in my neighborhood. While away, I dorm on campus.

“Renae is wonderful with caring for my fur baby. Communicative, considerate, and easy to talk to you! Thank you for helping me out on short notice. :)”

“Diana took care of our elderly dog for 6 days, coming twice a day to cuddle, feed, and walk our dog. She gave us regular updates and sent us photos of our dog. When we got home, we could tell that our dog had been well cared for. Would definitely recommend Diana to care for your pet.”

About: I’ve grown up surrounded by dogs and animals they’ve always been a big part of my life. From the time I was 11 to 17 I helped my aunt with her animal care business, which gave me lots of walking, feeding, bathing, and spending quality time with dogs of all kinds. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to care for their pets too, and I always treat each one like they’re my own. I truly enjoy giving animals love, attention, and a safe, happy environment. This is my second job! As I am a young adult trying to save up for my future so my schedule is very tight around my other jobs schedule as of right now. When caring for pets in my home or my client’s home, I make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved. I stick to their normal routines for feeding, walks, and playtime so they feel secure. I give plenty of attention, exercise, and cuddles, and always keep their space clean and cozy. I also follow any special instructions carefully, whether that’s giving medications, handling specific diets, or keeping up with training. My goal is to make each pet feel like they’re part of my family while their owner is away.

“We were very happy with the care that Andrea gave our four cats. Two of our senior cats require medication and Andrea was comfortable with giving our babies their meds. Andrea was very conscious and paid close attention to detail. 😊🐈‍⬛”

About: I love dogs of all sizes! I have several years of experience administering medication and caring for anxiety-prone pups, so I am happy to accommodate your pet's unique needs. Bonus points if they love long walks! You can rest assured that your pet is in the best hands--I treat every one like they're my own. I currently have flexible, open availability. Weekdays, weekends, or overnights are great for me. I offer same-day booking and a one day cancellation polity. After years of petsitting for friends and family, I'm looking forward to building a consistent client base! I am happy to crate pets if needed, hang out with them in designated areas of your home, and provide any level of supervision they require. I am also happy to play and provide exercise as often as they like. I cannot currently offer my own home for sitting, but will always be respectful of yours.
