Pet Sitting Grand Terrace

About: Pets are family, and I know that firsthand! I’ve been around dogs my entire life and couldn’t imagine it any other way. Growing up, we had two energetic and lovable miniature schnauzers, Shaggy and Betty, who brought so much joy to our home. After they passed, I adopted my sweet girl, Cali, two years ago. She’s my adventure buddy—we go on daily walks and runs, and she keeps me on my toes! I’m friendly, active, and caring, and I know how important it is to have someone trustworthy looking after your pets when you’re away. Whether it’s playtime, cuddles, or making sure they’re well taken care of, I’ll treat your fur babies as if they were my own. I can’t wait to meet you and your pets and give them all the love and attention they deserve! Since I work fully remote, I have the flexibility to incorporate pet care into my daily routine. My own dog, Cali, is a big part of my day—we go on morning and evening walks, and I take regular breaks to give her attention, play, or just check in. This setup allows me to provide consistent care, whether it’s feeding, walking, or just giving pets the love and attention they need. I can easily adjust my schedule to accommodate drop-ins, walks, or extended stays, ensuring your pets are well cared for while you’re away! Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or my client’s home, my priority is making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved. In my home, I provide a pet-friendly environment with plenty of playtime, walks, and cuddle sessions. I follow their usual routine as closely as possible to minimize stress. In a client’s home, I respect their space and their pet’s established routine. I make sure to follow all instructions regarding feeding, exercise, medications (if needed), and any special requests. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, or just providing companionship, I always ensure that pets receive the care and attention they deserve. My goal is to make them feel at ease while their owners are away!

About: I’ve sat for many different dogs since I was 13. Family and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, play with, and apply any needed medications to their dogs. I’ve looked after small Chihuahuas to big Rottweilers, from ages 13 and under. I’m currently taking online community college courses on Mondays and Wednesdays. I’m available all day on weekends and weekdays to look after your amazing dogs! I think it’s best that a dog stay in their own environment so they can feel more comfortable. I will follow the rules you give about your house and pets to make sure they feel safe and your house stays clean and secure.

About: I’ve worked professionally in pet boarding & daycare for 2 years, including at Holiday Pet Hotel & at Tale of the Dog. In addition, I’ve been pet sitting since I was young, caring for dogs, cats, lizards, birds, & other small animals. My kennel experience has given me a ton of knowledge of dog behavior, body language, & safe handling techniques. Whether it’s walking, feeding, bathing, or giving extra playtime, I make sure each pup/kitty feels safe, comfortable, & loved! My schedule during the summer is very flexible. I plan my schedule carefully around the pets I’m caring for to make sure they get consistent attention, exercise, & care. I’m reliable with routines & always make time for walks, feeding, & spending quality time with each pet I provide in-home care so your pets can stay comfortable in their own space. With kennel & pet sitting experience, I know how to handle different breeds & personalities. I’ll stick to their normal routine, give them lots of attention, & make sure they’re happy while you’re away

“Did a great job feeding and letting my three medium sized dogs out. Messaged me about finding a gutted toy and cleaned it up for me. She was on time each time for the sittings and even stayed a few minutes over an hour to make sure everything was completed!”

About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life! I grew up on a farm surrounded by dogs and all kinds of animals, so caring for pets has always come naturally to me. I have my own small dog who I’ve raised since he was a puppy, and I love taking him on walks and to dog parks. I’m very patient, attentive, and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I also occasionally volunteer at local dog shelters, which has given me experience caring for dogs with different personalities and needs. Your pet will be treated with the same love, patience, and care I give my own. ❤️🐾 I’m a UCR student with a flexible class schedule, so I’m able to work around your pet’s needs and provide care at a variety of times. I’m happy to accommodate different schedules and make sure your pet gets the attention and care they need. 🐾 I’ll treat your home and pets with the same care and respect I give my own. I’ll always prioritize their safety, follow your instructions and routines, and make sure they feel comfortable, loved, and cared for in their own space. 🐾❤️

About: I have over 15 years of hands on experience in caring for my dogs and my families dogs. My passion for animals is reflected in the compassionate, reliable, and personalized care I provide to each pet as if they were my own. Due to my current work schedule, I'll only be available Sunday, and Monday for overnight boarding. I can do drop ins and daily walks after 330pm. Leaving your pets while you have to be away is always hard but don't stress as I will help make that process easier. I will create a calm and familiar environment. I also suggest bringing a dog bed and toy. I will stick to regular routine, feeding, walking and sleeping. I will communicate with you, sending pics and videos. Regularly clean food bowls. I have a fenced yard and a park that connects to our house which is also fenced. During walks I will always be on alert and use a leash.

“Quetzaly is a WONDERFUL sitter. I prefaced my request by saying I have high expectations for sitters, and that I like a certain level of care for my 3 cats. She said she treats all her clients the same way she does her own pets (as her children) and follows instructions exactly - and she did not disappoint! She got to know each of our cats’ unique personalities and cared for them appropriately. I am extremely satisfied with her work. We will absolutely be hiring her again! She communicates extremely well and provides detailed notes and pictures. Our cats adored her!!”

About: Dogs have been a particularly big part of my life. I grew up with a Chihuahua who had multiple litters, and I helped care for approximately four litters of puppies, including feeding, monitoring, and caring for them as they grew. I’ve also puppy sat a German Shepherd, Pit Bull mix, and Doberman puppy, which gave me experience handling young, energetic dogs that require confidence, patience, and plenty of attention. I’ve also had the experience of caring for a dog through her senior years. As my dog grew older, I became more attentive to her changing needs and learned the importance of providing extra patience, comfort, supervision, and gentle care for an aging pet. I have some experience with cats as well. While dogs have been my primary experience, I’m comfortable caring for cats too and have experience handling and bathing them. I understand that cats have their own personalities and boundaries, and I’m happy to give them time to feel comfortable and safe around me. Whether I’m caring for a playful puppy, an energetic adult dog, or a senior pet who needs a little extra patience, I want every animal in my care to feel safe, loved, comfortable, and well cared for. I’m a full-time student, so I’m primarily available on weekends for pet care. I enjoy staying active and exercising, so going on walks and spending time outdoors with pets is something I genuinely look forward to. I also find being around animals relaxing and rewarding, and I love giving them attention, playtime, and companionship while their owners are away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I treat every pet with patience, kindness, and respect while following their normal routines as closely as possible. Before caring for a pet, I make sure I understand their feeding schedule, exercise needs, personality, medications if applicable, and any special instructions. In my client’s home, I’m attentive to potential hazards and make sure pets are supervised and kept in a safe environment. I also understand that every pet is different, so I take the time to build trust and let them become comfortable with me at their own pace. I’m happy to send regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. 🐾💕

About: Growing up with dogs has left me with some great experience from dog walking and playtime to feeding and administering medicine. Of course your pup will get the best treatment but that comes with a good eye. I believe that I am great at understanding their needs based off their behavior, age, and energy level. Accommodating to their needs won’t be an issue. When caring for your pup overnight, nothing will change when it comes to giving them my full attention and making sure their needs are met. When caring for my dog Max in his last years he developed a cough which required extra care such as giving medication at late hours or simply being in their presence with some scratches. This experience taught me the importance of caring for an aging dog, being patient, attentive and compassionate. I promise I will care for yours as if they were my own! Thank you 😊 I am currently working full time although I will be available for night walks after 6pm on weekdays (Monday-Thursday) and boarding on weekends (Friday-Sunday). I can offer your pups toys and attention, whether it be in or outdoors. Whatever special request you have I would do my best to achieve. I only wish to create a happy and safe environment for them 😄

“Casey did a wonderful job taking care of our 2 dogs while we were away for over a week. She sends us great pictures of our dogs and I can relax knowing our dogs are in such good hands.”

About: I have grown up with dogs, and have enjoyed taking care of friends and family members dogs of all ages.

I am happy to care for pets young and old, and will always do my best to review all of your pet’s specified needs! I’m currently working in a flexible job with often changing hours, so I am able to pick up opportunities for a consistent routine or something temporary. I will look after your pet by ensuring all gates are closed, and doors are opened very carefully! I have experience watching some “escape artist” dogs, so ensuring dogs are safely in their home and the backyard is secured is a big priority for me.

About: Hi, I’m Nachelle! Ever since I can remember, dogs have been a huge part of my life. I grow up with dog and live stock. So have have dogs most of my adult life and I am familiar with many breeds and stages of life. I truly believes that pets are family and to some like me our kids. My goal isn't just to watch your dog, but to make sure they feel safe, happy, and thoroughly loved while you are away. Because I know how stressful that can be on them. When your pup stays with me, hangs out with me, or goes out for a walk they get my full attention, plenty of belly rubs, and a routine tailored specifically to their personality. Whether they are an energetic ball of fire who loves long sniff-walks or a senior sweet-soul who prefers a cozy couch lounge. When pets are in my home there is no off limit space besides the kitchen. So your fur babies will feel at home. If you have any questions please let me know. So I can accommodate your needs. Pet care is the most important to me as I have a dog and he is like my son. So daily walks, scheduled feeds, meds, and play time is a most. Trust is earned with pets just like humans. So I don't expect your pet to be warm and cuddly at first cause we have to establish that bond. So for me knowing there environmently triggers, happy spots, and things that there fearful of is the most important to me. So we can all be safe.

I also have experience dog sitting for friends and family, including caring for dogs for up to two weeks at a time while their owners were away. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, keeping up with daily routines, and giving dogs plenty of attention and company. I’ll always follow your care instructions closely and treat your dog like I would my own! My schedule is flexible, and I’m happy to work with you to find times that fit your pet’s routine. I’m available for drop-in visits, walks, and pet sitting throughout the week and on weekends. I’ll always communicate clearly about my availability and make sure I have plenty of time to give your pet the attention and care they deserve. I know how important it is to trust someone with both your pet and your home. I’ll carefully follow any instructions you provide, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, and your pet’s usual routine. I’m attentive to each pet’s personality and comfort level and will make sure they feel safe and cared for while you’re away. I’m also happy to send regular photos and updates so you know how your pet is doing.

About: I've been surrounded by pets my whole life. I grew up with many cats (currently have 5) and a super loving golden retriever. Ever since I was 12, my neighbors and family friends have trusted me to watch their pets. Now that I'm away from home, I love any opportunity to spend time with animals. I can assure you your pets will be well taken care of and in loving hands with me!! I'm currently self-employed, so I'll have plenty of time to play with your pets! I can house-sit or stop in for as long as you need any days/times of the week! I have watched many pets over the years. If you have a specific routine with your pet, I will easily be able to adapt to it so that your pet can stay in routine!

“We are so grateful for Lisa. She did a great job with our dogs.”

About: I am a certified Veterinary Assistant and was Pre-Vet in college. I have volunteered at the animal shelter and fostered pets since I was in middle school. I have always had a passion for animals and even though I followed my love for children and education for my full-time career endeavor, I still enjoy volunteering and fostering via the shelter whenever I can. I adore pets and enjoy spending time with them. I have plenty of time after work, weekends, summers, and eve some holidays! I love taking my own dogs on long walks and to the dog park to meet new friends. I treat all pets like family, which is why I am one of the go-to foster parents to help socialize new animals brought into the shelter. I have a fenced in yard and a doggy door that stays in, so pets may enter and leave as they please. They are welcome in every room and can hop on the couch to cuddle and watch a movie.
