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.
“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.”
“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!”
“Angellee was so great! Stayed in our home and took care of our 3 dogs. Was very communicative and updated us regularly with photos and how they were doing. Highly recommend.”
“Lynna was a wonderful dog sitter and houseguest. She communicated clearly, followed all directions, and went above and beyond in the care for our pup. There was never any doubt in our mind that our dog was well taken care of! We 100% recommend her and will be calling her back again.”
“andy stayed in our home and watched our 3 cats and 1 dog for a couple of days/nights and i would hire him again in an instant! he was so quick to respond, highly communicative, followed my detailed instructions, asked questions when needed, and sent so many photos, videos, and updates! we’ve tried a few different sitters (pros and friends) and he’s definitely one of the best. i highly recommend him for your pets!”
“Isabel is an absolute gem!! She sat with our spoiled pups all day and they loved her! She is a great communicator, reliable and most importantly, it’s obvious she loves dogs! I will definitely hire Isabel again and highly recommend her!”
“This was my second booking with Jose with this one being quite a bit longer at 6 nights. He did a wonderful job taking care of Riley and my place. I’ll definitely be booking him again!”
“Larissa took very good care of my pets. She sent me pictures and updates. My place was exactly as I left it. I have 2 fairly timid animals when it comes to new people, a cat and a dog. Larissa knew exactly how to deal with them and they took to her right away. I would definitely recommend Larissa to care for your pets! I have already booked her for my next get away.”
“Ellie was an exceptional sitter for my pup from beginning to end. Ellie is a confident and experienced dog sitter while still extremely gentle, accommodating, and sweet. I immediately knew my shy baby Zo would be in good hands with Ellie, and sure enough my Zo grew fond of her quite quickly! I’m so thankful to Ellie for being so sweet, respectful, and caring to my little girl. I was kept at ease knowing my pup felt comfortable with Ellie. I’ll definitely be booking Ellie in the future!”
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 are so happy we found Hillary to come and stay with our dogs. She is warm, kind, and very reliable. She followed our rather detailed instructions to the letter and sent us daily updates with pictures. We felt 100% at ease while we were gone, knowing that our dogs and our home were in very capable hands. We came home to a clean and tidy house and relaxed, happy dogs. We will definitely contact Hillary for all of our future pet sitting needs.”
“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!”
“We were so grateful to have Cambria house sit for us and watch our two dogs while we were on vacation. She was communicative throughout our trip, sending daily updates and photos of the dogs. We were able to fully enjoy our trip, knowing that our dogs were happy and well-cared for by Cambria. She took care of everything we needed while we were gone, watered our plants and went above and beyond, cleaning the floors before we arrived back home! We’ll definitely be reaching out to her again!”
About: I have a deep love and respect for every pet I care for. I adopted a sick puppy, and through patience and nurturing, he has blossomed into a beloved member of my family. This experience has taught me the profound bond that can develop between a pet and their caregiver, highlighting the importance of kindness and understanding in every interaction. I’ve also gained experience by showing care and compassion to animals in need around me, making sure they feel safe and comfortable. Each animal has its own unique personality and needs, and I strive to create a warm and welcoming environment for them all. My commitment to treating every pet with compassion ensures they feel loved and secure while in my care. I work remotely as a freelancer, which gives me the flexibility to integrate pet care into my daily routine seamlessly. This allows me plenty of time to spend with furry friends, playing, cuddling, and ensuring they receive the love and attention they deserve. My schedule enables me to provide a nurturing and engaging environment, ensuring that every pet feels comfortable and cared for throughout the day. When caring for pets in my home or a client's home, I prioritize their safety and comfort above all else. I follow their food schedule diligently to ensure they maintain a healthy routine. Engaging with pets through playtime and interactive activities is essential, as it keeps them stimulated and happy. Since I do not have pets of my own, I can provide a safe and distraction-free environment for them. Living in an apartment allows me to easily take them for walks outside in green areas, where they can explore and enjoy some fresh air. If needed, I can safely crate pets to provide them with a secure space to relax. My home is a welcoming environment filled with love and attention, ensuring every pet feels safe and at ease. Building trust is key, and I take the time to understand each pet's unique personality and needs, creating a positive experience for both them and their owners.

About: I have worked with over 100 dogs as a dog handler at a dog daycare. I have walked, fed and administered medicine to many pets. Pet care is a regular part of my weekly routine. I make time each day for feeding, walking, playing, and giving attention to all animals. I care for pets by feeding them, keeping them safe, and giving them plenty of love and attention. I’ll treat your pets like they’re my own—making sure they’re happy, healthy, and having fun while you’re away

Javi is awesome with my cats. He is also prompt and timely with responses. He manages the home details, cleaning trash, mail and overall safety for my kitties. He is very self sufficient and pays attention to small details about the cats and my home. Highly recommend Javi!
Jizelle did an amazing job watching my 3 dogs on New Year’s Eve. I have a senior dog with dementia that needs medication and she did a wonderful job administering the medication and watching over him throughout the night. She arrived early and was great at communicating with me throughout the night and sending me photos. Would definitely have Jizelle watch my dogs again!
Lynna was a wonderful dog sitter and houseguest. She communicated clearly, followed all directions, and went above and beyond in the care for our pup. There was never any doubt in our mind that our dog was well taken care of! We 100% recommend her and will be calling her back again.
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!
Mae did a great job taking care of our corgis. When I returned home they were happy and safe and feed. She is trust worthy and sent pictures of the puppies. She as booked with us last minute on new years which was amazing help to us. My house was also how I left it. Would definitely book again. Thank you Mae.
Chloe has given the most amazing sitting service ever! My dog Bubba already misses her! She came fully prepared and handled the job with ease! She’s a professional and has a passion for these animals! Bubba wanted to leave with her at the end of the day! Anyone would be blessed to have Chloe as their sitter! Thank you so much Chloe, you deserve way more stars than just 5!
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!
Sofia is a real gem! She sent pictures and videos every day and I could see my dogs were content and happy. When I got home my house was spotless. She had the sheets in the washer, blankets in the dryer, and clean dishes in the dishwasher. I know she loved on my dogs because they didn't want her to leave when I got home. Highly, highly recommend!
