Thanks again for making sure my animals were safe and sound while I was out of town. Cat Stevens even told me that he likes you. That’s impressive in itself. LOL Thanks!

Amanda did a great job taking care of my 7 month old bernadoodle. She also took care of my home and garden. I would highly recommend her services! I loved that she sent me pictures of my baby!

My husband and I were very nervous about having a stranger watch our babies. Hillary was very understanding and she kept us informed throughout her entire stay. We have 2 older dogs that required extra attention, she gave them their medications, monitored their eating and kept us up to date on their status. Hillary went above and beyond, she washed the dishes and the sheets in the room she stayed in. We would definitely hire her again.

This is the third time Casey has watched our 2 dogs and house for us and we couldn’t be happier. Casey is reliable and friendly and very communicative with us while we are away. We know we are in good hands when Casey watches our dogs.

About: I always take priority in trying to get tailored to any dog’s personality, 24/7 contact with the owner to make them more comfortable, and I make sure they have an accessible source of water. Even though I’m currently in college right now I am looking after my 2 cats and 2 dogs with not much to do all day. I usually take my two dogs on a walk in the early mornings after they have their breakfast and one in the afternoon I also do checks if they need to use the restroom by taking them out for about 10 minutes. With my cats I feed them in the morning, play with their favorite toys, and most of the time just hangout together either petting them and sometimes talking.

About: Hi, I am looking to expand my experience pet sitting. I myself have 4 cats and 3 dogs. But don’t worry I share custody of them. I have pet sat for a 2 families previously and could not be more of a pet lover if I tried. I'm currently working part-time, so I'll have plenty of time to play with your pups! I am available the weekends and during the week days I am available before 12 and after 6. I have a fenced back yard, and I have two friendly cats. I make it a point to play with them and depending on the pet take them for walks. But often times I would just cuddle with them.

We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter! From start to finish, the experience was seamless and stress-free. Edith was amazing, kept us updated with all the activities she did with our Lab Retriever Tyson. She sent daily photo updates and detailed messages about Tysons walks, meals. It gave us total peace of mind while we were away especially since with this was our first time ever using a dog/house sitter service. I highly recommend Edith for anyone who’s looking for a dog sitter for any length and time I would definitely make sure we utilizer if she is available for our next vacation to watch our Tyson.

About: Hello! My name is Ryan, and I’m a freshman at UCR. I have over five years of hands-on experience caring for dogs. I’ve grown up adopting and fostering rescue dogs and have happily adopted two of my own, Cooper and Trixie. My experience includes daily walks, feeding, playtime, administering basic medications, and providing companionship while pet parents are away As a college student, I plan my classes and study time so pet care fits easily into my routine. I’m reliable with walks, feeding, and playtime, and I enjoy spending time with animals as part of my day. I care for pets by following the owner’s instructions closely, including feeding, walking or exercise, and providing attention and basic care. I make sure pets are safe, comfortable, and well cared for, whether in my home or the client’s home.

Rachelle is always reliable and takes good care of our babies! We have a many pets and leaving them behind can be nerve-wracking, so it's been great to have someone who's so consistent. She has been able to sit for us last minute or for weeks at a time. Our pets seem to like her a lot too!

About: I own a neapolitan mastiff, Dachshund, and two cats so I know how to take care of and deal with all different sizes and shapes of dogs and cats. I’ve also owned many different types of fish and reptiles and cared for them so I would be open to any kind of sitting/walking or caring you might need. I’m currently in school but I’m available a majority of the time every day. Please contact me for information about booking or to check availability. I treat all dogs with kindness and like they are my own. Maintaining safety is one of my top priorities along with making sure that my care is as good as I can make it. Their are many good pet sitters out there but I try to give your animal what they need with flexibility and security in you knowing that your pets are safe.

Nathan is fantastic! I could tell at our first conversation how much he loves animals and he could be trusted to care for my dog. And I was not wrong. He gave Ike the best care and took great care of the house too. He gave regular updates and sent pictures. Ike is so happy to see him. Nathan is more than a sitter, he is part of the family now. I can't think of anyone better to care for my boy when I travel. Thank you Nathan!

It was my first time using Rover and Kristina took amazing care of my timid pup. By the end of the day he was so tired because he was having so much fun with her. 10/10 would recommend Kristina she’s amazing at what she does! She sent videos and pictures and stayed on schedule perfectly. I had an amazing experience!

Charolette was amazing with our dogs! One of them needs 3 different medications twice a day and she handled it with ease. The dogs loved spending time with her. She sent photos and updates multiple times which we always love. We felt comfortable with her staying in our house and confident in her ability to care for our dogs as attentively as we do. She even left the house cleaner than when she arrived and brought treats for the boys. We would love to book her again in the future and are happy we found her! Thanks again Charolette!
