About: I’ve been a dog owner for the past 6 years, so I understand how important it is to make sure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Over the years, I’ve gained hands-on experience with feeding, walking, playing, and taking care of my dog’s everyday needs. I’m a responsible, outgoing, and active person who genuinely enjoys spending time with dogs. Whether it’s going on walks, playing outside, or just keeping them company, I always make sure they get plenty of attention and care. I understand that every dog has its own personality and routine, and I’m happy to adjust to their specific needs. My goal is to make sure your dog feels right at home while giving you peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands! I’m currently a student at UC Riverside, where I’m involved in clubs, intramural sports, and other campus activities. Although I stay involved with school, my classes are primarily in the mornings, which gives me plenty of flexibility throughout the rest of the day to care for pets. I’m able to work around my class schedule to provide dog walks, feeding, playtime, and house sitting. I can also go back and forth between campus and your home to make sure your dog is fed, checked on, and given the attention they need. I enjoy staying active and spending time with dogs, and I’m committed to making sure your pets are well cared for while you’re away! When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well taken care of. Having my own dog for the past 7 years has taught me how important it is to follow a pet’s daily routine, whether that’s feeding, walking, playing, or just giving them attention and company. I understand that every dog has different needs and personalities, so I’m happy to follow any specific instructions from their owner. I also make sure to keep the home clean and organized, respect the owner’s space, and provide updates so they know their pet is doing well. My goal is to make sure your dog feels loved and comfortable while you’re away!

About: I have worked in a pet food and supply store for two years where I learned a lot about how to properly take care of dogs, and how to train puppies. I have also had two dogs for about ten years now. I do part time work, but my hours there are short and flexible. I am available all other times including evenings and weekends for walks, and to check in on dogs. For houses sitting services I am available all week. I live by many parks for the dogs to play in, and I would be happy to take them to dog beaches or dog parks. I am unable to bring dogs inside my home right now as I’m living with someone who is extremely allergic, but still want to fill my heart with the joys of dogs.

About: I’ve taken care of family’s pets for almost 3 years! I’m currently also a vet tech student and I have worked in vet clinics and volunteered at the animal shelter so have tons of experience with animals and pet care! I have a very flexible work schedule that also allows me to be available on weekends so I’ll have plenty of time to spend with pets! I will ensure feeding, play time, and lots of love when caring for pets. I will care for them based on their routine and how they feel most comfortable!

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: About Me Hi, I’m Marissa, owner of Shining Light’s K9 Services! I have extensive experience caring for dogs of all breeds, ages, and temperaments—including those with aggression, reactivity, or other behavioral challenges. Over the years, I’ve worked in multiple dog hotels/doggy daycares, in pet grooming, and as a freelance trainer, giving me a well-rounded understanding of canine care and behavior. I specialize in creating a safe, structured, and comfortable environment for every dog I work with. Whether your pet needs a calm walk, a high-energy run, targeted training, or simply loving companionship, I tailor my approach to their unique needs. Administering medications is never an issue, and I pride myself on excellent communication so you can feel at ease while you’re away. Your dog’s safety, happiness, and progress are always my top priorities. With me, your fur baby will be in experienced, loving, and capable hands. Pet care is my full-time job and passion. I run my own business, Shining Light’s K9 Services, from home, so caring for dogs is part of my daily routine from morning to night. I structure my day around feeding schedules, walks, playtime, training sessions, and any special care each pet needs. Because this is my full-time work, I have the flexibility to give your pet consistent attention, exercise, and companionship throughout the day. Your pet’s safety and comfort always come first. In my home, I offer multiple sleeping options so your dog feels at ease—whether that’s a cozy crate, a comfy dog bed in my living room, or even in my bedroom if that’s what they’re used to. I maintain a clean, secure environment, with constant supervision and safe spaces for rest or play. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow your instructions exactly to keep their routine consistent and stress-free. I make sure food, water, and medications are given on schedule, and I always take time for walks, play, and affection. Whether at my home or yours, my goal is to ensure your pet feels safe, happy, and loved while you’re away.

About: I have taken care of dogs and cats my entire life. I have been around German shepards, pitbulls, and all of the more "intimidating" breeds. So you can trust that I will get the job done and make sure your pet has an awesome time while doing it. I have bathed and walked more dogs than I can count and have owned several dogs in the past. My schedule is completely clear ever since I finished up my summer community college classes. Whatever your pet needs whenever they need it they will get. Please note that my yard is not fenced. Whenever I take your pet outside it will be on a leash or harness. My home is spacious and has 3 cat friends. When I am in your home I will follow all guidelines set as I have a lot of experience with house sitting as well.

About: I was raised in a home caring for many animals including dogs, rabbits, toads, and a tortoise. During college and the year after, part of my job was looking after farm animals: horses, donkeys, goats, sheep, alpacas, chickens, ducks, pigs, and a steer. I’ve worked and volunteered extensively with cats and dogs of all age ranges and sizes even administering treatments and medications when needed. In the past decade in addition to house sitting and dog walking I have worked at PetSmart as well as an animal shelter and currently volunteer my time on the dog behavior support team at Mary S. Roberts Pet Adoption Center. I do overnight emergency fostering for bottle baby puppies and kittens and take shelter dogs out on field trips for the day when I can too. I believe all creatures deserve the best care possible and am lucky to have met so many amazing animals over the years. Pets really are the best part of the family! I am currently between jobs so I have almost fully open availability to give all my time and attention to your beloved dogs and cats! My goal is to gain the trust of every pet so I can provide the necessary enrichment and comfort for each animal to meet their individual needs during my time with them. I will treat every pet with love as if they were my own while following any house rules and maintaining the current schedule and any boundaries as instructed by the pet parent.

About: I know that dogs are family, and I want you to feel comfortable knowing your pup is being cared for while you’re away! I’m happy to help with dog walking, drop-in visits, and house sitting in your home. Whether your dog loves getting outside for a walk, playing with their favorite toys, or simply having some company, I’ll do my best to make sure they feel happy, safe, and cared for. I understand that every dog has their own personality and routine, so I’ll take the time to learn what makes your dog most comfortable. I’m also happy to help with bathing and brushing when arranged in advance. I’ll follow your instructions carefully, respect your dog’s comfort level, and keep you updated with photos and messages throughout our time together. I’d love to meet your furry friend and learn all about their favorite activities, daily routine, and little quirks! As a UCR student, my availability is planned around my class schedule. I’ll communicate clearly with you about timing and make sure we agree on a schedule that works for both of us and meets your pet’s needs. I’m happy to discuss your pet’s usual routine, feeding times, walks, and other care requirements ahead of time so we can make the experience as smooth as possible! Your pet’s safety and comfort are always important to me. I’ll follow your care instructions carefully, respect your home, and take the time to understand your pet’s personality and needs. I believe in being patient, attentive, and gentle, especially when a pet is adjusting to someone new. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. Your furry family member deserves to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for!

“Marian was great. She showed up on time took the time to learn a bit about my pups and my pups were excited to meet her. My family felt comfortable with her and would highly recommend her (my pups were tired after).”

About: I’ve taken care of my pets, friends and family pets since I was a teenager…I love them and care for them as if they are my own. I currently work full-time, but am very close so I often go home for lunch, and spend time there. This allows me to fit in pet care on my schedule during those days. I have weekends off, so I’m fully available. I have a portable gate that I use for the front yard if you need overnight stays. It’s not your home then I would follow your instructions. Spend a time with them whatever it is that you’re loving pet might need I can help accommodate.

“Britney is just phenomenal! I requested her extremely last minute and she still agreed to run with Akira! So far she seems pooped and I love it lol. Thank you for socializing her and giving me feed back. Britney made sure to briefly get to know Akira before agreeing to the walk as well. For sure will be scheduling again very soon!!”

About: I've taken care of puppies, older dogs, and everything in between! Love running, walking, and live in a great area to do so! Your pet's happiness is my top priority. I am a therapist who is remote most days and in the office on Tuesday and Thursdays, but not for the whole day. I can also bring your pet into the office depending on temperament and comfortability! Very flexible schedule with lots of time to give to your sweet pup! In your home I will follow your instructions and preference for your pet and do the same in my home as well. Can crate train your dog if you prefer, they can also have free range of the house as well.
