Pet Sitting & Drop Ins in Downtown, Riverside, CA

“I needed someone in a pinch to help with my grandparents dogs while I am all the way in Oregon. Douglas responded to me almost immediately and literally bent over backwards to get to the house to check on the dogs. He was flexible and willing to spend extra time. We have the dogs situated now but should I need any pet care for any reason in the future, he’s the only one I’ll call!”

“Kimberly took such great care of our 3 cats. The girls loved her and I appreciated getting all of the picture updates of them, as it made me feel at ease while on vacation knowing they were in good hands. We are so glad we found her and look forward to booking her for our fur babies in the near future.”

“Kristina truly went above and beyond when watching my dog while I was away. She recorded videos of every check in and walk, she sent updates on how he was doing and any possible concerns at the house, and she went out of her way to make sure he was comfortable during this crazy heat wave. I really appreciate her diligence and will definitely book again!”

About: I have taken care of dogs and cats since I was smaller, taking care of family and friends pets. They relied on me to walk, feed, take care of and spend the night for sometimes weeks! I myself have had a puppy and a senior dog and am good with both! I am on summer vacation and work a part time job so that gives me a lot of free time to care for your pets! In my home my dogs are walked and feed daily, loved, and comfortable. In clients homes if they leave a routine that they have with their dog it is important for me to stick to it! I love how dogs have their own quirks and routines.

About: I’ve taken care of a variety of pets beginning with household pets as a child. About ten years ago, I adopted my first pet of my own and have had one ever since. I regularly take care of neighbors’, friends’, and referred (and repeat) clients’ pets of a variety of ages, temperament, and health condition with love and joy. I love caring for animals and am confident in my ability to handle any challenges pet care may throw at me. I have been pet/housesitting part time for several years and have recently shifted to a more full-time basis. This has enabled me to build my schedule around my clients’ needs. I do my very best to accommodate any feeding, walking, or medication routines that pets may be used to. I make myself available throughout the day for questions or updates, and if I cannot immediately respond, I do so as soon as I can.

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.

“Kristine is just awesome! She takes such good care of my girls and they are always happy to see her.”

“Casey was so detailed when caring for our dogs. She really went above and beyond. You can definitely tell she is a dog person. I’m really glad we found someone trustworthy and reliable to care for our 3 dogs and we’ll be using her when we go away again.”

About: I have two cats of my own and have helped care for both family dogs and friends’ cats over the years. I’m experienced with feeding, walking, litter box cleaning, and giving lots of love and attention! Pets tend to warm up to me quickly, and I always make sure they feel safe and cared for. I also have plenty of photos of the pets I’ve cared for to show the happy moments we’ve shared. I’m a college student currently studying biochemistry with a strong love for both cats and dogs. Pet care brings me joy, and with summer here, I’m only in school part-time. This gives me the flexibility to care for your pets Thursday through Sunday. I’m dedicated, dependable, and excited to give your pets the attention and affection they deserve. I prioritize creating a safe, calm, and loving environment for every pet I care for. In your home, I follow your pet’s routine closely and respect your space. I’m attentive to details like feeding schedules, medication, and preferred activities. While I don’t have dogs of my own, I have two friendly cats and a clean, pet-safe space. Whether in your home or mine, your pet will be treated like family.

About: I absolutely love dogs and caring for them comes naturally to me. I treat every pup with love, attention, and respect, just like they’re part of my family. I have experience walking, feeding, playing with, and giving lots of cuddles to dogs of different sizes and personalities. I’m very responsible, patient, and always make sure each pet feels safe and happy. Whether your dog needs calm companionship or playful energy, I will be fully present and caring. I’m available for pet care Monday through Friday after 5 PM, and I have full availability on Saturdays and Sundays. I’m excited to care for your dog during my free time and give them lots of love, playtime, and attention. Your pet’s happiness and well-being are my priority! I always make sure pets feel safe and loved. I can care for your dog at your place or mine depending on the service. I provide a clean, calm, and loving environment where your pet will receive constant attention and care. I treat every dog as if they were my own, with patience, gentleness, and responsibility.

“Ellen was great! Very prompt communication and flexible (we ended up needing her to add one more visit than planned). Our cat managed the adjustment to our leaving her for the longest time ever quite well, and it's all because of the great care that Ellen provided. Highly recommend!”

About: While I’m newer to professional pet sitting, I’ve cared for animals with genuine love and responsibility. I’ve walked, fed, and spent time with my neighbor’s dog on several occasions, making sure they felt safe and happy while their owner was away. I’m also a proud cat owner myself, so I understand the daily care, attention, and patience pets need to feel comfortable and loved. I treat every pet as if they were my own. I’m gentle, attentive, and always follow instructions carefully. Because I understand how important pets are to their owners, I take my role seriously—whether it’s keeping them active on walks or just giving them companionship and comfort while you’re away. You can trust that your pet will be in kind and caring hands with me. Pet care fits into my routine naturally and easily. I work part-time only 1–2 days a week, so I have plenty of availability—especially Monday through Friday. This gives me the time and flexibility to focus fully on your pet’s needs, whether that’s daily walks, playtime, or just being there to keep them company while you’re away. I care for pets in their own home where they feel most comfortable and secure. I always follow the owner’s instructions closely, making sure their pet’s routine stays consistent—whether that’s feeding, walks, playtime, or administering any needed care. I treat every home with respect, keeping things clean, quiet, and stress-free for both the pet and their owner.

“Nathaniel is an excellent communicator, provides very quick responses, and takes the best care of my animals! I have requested his services many times as I trust Nathaniel.”

About: I will treat your puppy with a lot of love and respect, I can your step by step instructions on how to care for your furries. I am loving, caring, fun and hygienic. I also offer my grooming service with relaxing pet messages. I'm sure that if you trust me with your furry, he'll want to come back and be a part of our home and daily activities. My experience in the care of furries is 10 years in which I have learned to love them because I know that the furries are guardians of the human heart. Their purpose is to give joy and love to those who receive them and make them a part of their family. My schedule is flexible from Monday to Sunday. At the moment I'm at home all week and willing to take care of and have fun with your furry. Plenty of places to go out for walks with our family and plenty of snuggles to receive from our kiddos. I have an apartment with an exclusive area for pets, where they can play and have exercise. I don't currently have pets so my attention will be on your furry.

“Sandra is very reliable and sooo sweet to our boys. Thank you so much!”

About: I was a dog groomer for 7 years in Argentina and If my clients asked me to take care of their pets I would do so with much pleasure. I also groomed cats. My whole life I have been passionate about animals. I’m currently working full time at a pet grooming salon in Pomona but I’ll be glad to accommodate myself to take good care or walk your pet. The most important thing to take care of your pet is to establish a nice bond between us by giving them cuddles and love, playing with them and granting trust, all while in the comfort of their home.

About: I’ve always loved animals and have been pet sitting for family and friends for years when needed. I’ve also had pets of all sorts since I was a kid and absolutely adore them. We have a very nice shaded neighborhood that’s perfect for walks which I do my self daily already. I’m currently working part time as a server, with a very flexible schedule. I work mornings only and am usually home by 2 on the 3 days I do work so I am very available. We don’t live on a super busy street so the large front yard is perfect for playing, on an extendable leash. Having had animals my whole life I know what to keep locked away and what is safe to play.
