About: “Experienced and caring pet caregiver with a strong background in feeding, walking, grooming, and administering basic medications for dogs, cats, and small animals. Skilled at recognizing animal behavior cues, maintaining clean and safe environments, and providing loving companionship to pets while owners are away.” “Experienced and caring pet caregiver with a strong background in feeding, walking, grooming, and administering basic medications for dogs, cats, and small animals. Skilled at recognizing animal behavior cues, maintaining clean and safe environments, and providing loving companionship to pets while owners are away or just need a little extra help .” “Pet care is an integral part of my daily routine. I plan my day around feeding, walking, and engaging with animals to ensure they receive consistent attention and exercise. This routine has strengthened my time-management skills, reliability, and ability to multitask—qualities I bring to every job working with pets.” I provide daily care for my own pets, ensuring they’re well-fed, exercised, groomed, and loved. In addition, I care for other people’s animals both in my home and in theirs, following each owner’s specific routines for feeding, walking, administering basic medications, and giving plenty of attention. Whether in my space or theirs, I create a safe, clean, and comfortable environment so every pet feels secure and well cared for.
“Laurie Beth was best friend with our fur-babies in no time! 10/10 would recommend Laurie Beth to anyone who is looking for some extra attention or a sleep over with their pet.”
About: I’ve grew up w/ 2 little chihuahuas Brownie & Cookie which i’ve taken care of since I was 14! As I grew older, i adopted another doggie, Nala, who is now living in Doggie heaven since 2022. I enjoy Cats & Dogs in my space they’re great companions and I love their different personalities. After taking animal behavior during my undergraduate I’ve been intrigued with the behavior of pets more and more! I would love to get to know you and your companion!! I’m pretty free and home majority of the time, I am an entrepreneur so this is what I do. I hope I can sit your furry friend. I have a small minimalistic 1 bedroom home. Honestly, there isn’t too much for your pets to get into AND i do have a few pet toys if your companion likes to play
“We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter! She stayed in our home for a week while we were on vacation and took amazing care of our French Bulldog, Tomas. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing he was in his own environment with someone who truly cared for him. She kept us updated with messages and photos, followed all of Tomas’s routine and instructions, and treated our home with respect. We came home to a happy, relaxed dog and a house that was just as clean as when we left. It’s clear she genuinely loves animals, and Tomas was comfortable and well cared for the entire time. We would absolutely trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and responsible pet sitter.”
“Britney is fantastic! Really went above and beyond to make sure my dogs were comfortable, happy and cared for. Also a great communicator - sending me pictures and updates so that I had peace of mind each day. Would definitely recommend and hopefully book again :)”
“We had a last minute event and she came through! We highly recommend. Great communication quick response, and punctual. We have a Great Dane Mastiff and an 14yo boxer who can be very needy in their own ways. She sent updates of potty breaks, meals and asked all the important questions. We will definitely request her again. Thank you for taking care of our babies!”
“Adriana was great! She listened perfectly to instructions and took wonderful care of my senior pup with special needs. She kept him comfortable and enriched the entire time she cared for him. Would definitely recommend!”
About: Hello :) and thank you for considering me to take care of your fur babies! I completely understand that your pets are more than just pets, they’re family! I have years of experience caring for my own pets and the pets of my friends and family. I also have many years of customer service experience so I’m accustomed to a highly active, problem-solving, get it done right kind of environment. If it’s sitting with your pet while your away or a fun walk around the neighborhood, I’m more than excited to do it. I may love walks more than some of the pups! My area of expertise is dogs & cats but I’m ready to make friends with any of your lovely pets! <3 I am currently available for dog walking and drop-in visits Monday - Friday. Dog walking spots are limited currently due to the weather and they tend to fill up quick, but please reach out! I’m happy to make reasonable arrangements whenever possible. For pet sitting, please message me for availability and we can work out what works best for you and your fur babies. Travel worry-free while your pets are safe at home with me! Whether you’re leaving on a trip or just away for the day, I’m happy to help - send me a message and I would be happy to accommodate your requests.
“Gabby did an excellent job house sitting for our two large dogs while we were away on vacation. She kept us updated every day with photos and videos playing with our dogs and taking them on walks. Our dogs took to her immediately and we came home to happy, well cared for fur babies. Knowing our pups were so well taken care of allowed us to relax and truly enjoy our vacation. We would rebook with Gabby in a heartbeat for our next time out of town!”
“Grace was so great with Harley, she took him out for walks and sent pictures. Her and him really hit it off Grace is very personable and was prompt and able to stay as long as we needed Definitely will be using grace again”
“My wife and I wanted to get away at the last minute, but our normal dog/house sitter was unavailable. In looking for someone to babysit our little dog and house sit, we chanced upon Rover. It’s always a scary prospect to allow a stranger not only watch your precious animals, but have them stay at your home. After checking out a number of prospects on Rover we decided to call Krista. What a wonderful decision we made. Krista came over to our house to meet our dog Chewy and give us a chance to “qualify” her. We’ll just say she was beyond qualified. Responsible, Joyful and Professional and Communicative during our trip. All that to say Krista is our new “Best Friend” house/dog sitter. Thank you, Krista!”
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!
“Nichole was absolutely perfect. She took great care of my dog Kaya and left our house in pristine condition, which is always appreciated. She was very communicative and I was definitely put at ease while on our camping trip about any concerns over Kaya. Highly recommended. I will be contacting Nichole in the future :)”
About: (Experience & Background) I have experience caring for dogs of all ages, from newborn puppies to senior dogs, and a wide range of breeds, from high-energy working dogs like Malinois to smaller companions like Chihuahuas. I have also experience with cats as I grew up with them. Grew up with a parent involved in specialised training (narcotics, ammo, obedience, etc) and search and rescue, I’ve developed a strong understanding of dog behavior, structure, and safety. This background allows me to confidently handle different temperaments, energy levels, and routines. I approach every pet with patience, attentiveness, and genuine care, treating them as if they were my own. I also live in a community with access to a dog park and walking areas, allowing for safe, structured exercise when appropriate.

“Joshua arrived when promised and took good care of our 2 dogs. They both liked him immediately, which was a feat as our larger 90 lb dog doesn't take to people quickly. House was left spotless and all was well!”

Edith has watched Ollie many times now and we always feel at ease when she is with him. He's a small senior dog, and she's always patient with him and sends updates so we never have to worry while we're away. Edith is always reliable and leaves our house just as we left it. Highly recommend!
Britney is fantastic! Really went above and beyond to make sure my dogs were comfortable, happy and cared for. Also a great communicator - sending me pictures and updates so that I had peace of mind each day. Would definitely recommend and hopefully book again :)
Felipe took wonderful care of my 2 dogs and 2 cats. The dogs got in a scuffle a day before we left and we were nervous to leave them with someone new. Felipe put us at ease and did a great job with them! He is a great communicator and sent us helpful updates and pictures/videos. He even walked the dogs separately just to be safe and spent a good chunk of time with them. Our shy cats even befriended him 😊

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Fontana walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Fontana maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
<b>Tip:</b> Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Fontana choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .

Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
