House Sitting in International, San Bernardino, CA

“Elena was amazing and will be our go-to sitter moving forward. We reached out to her last minute to housesit and to watch our two pups for 5 nights. She quickly responded to our request and was able to meet with our pups prior to us leaving to get them accommodated. The home was left clean and our pups seemed happy. It was a relief to have them stay at home instead of boarding since we just moved to the area so there’s been a lot of changes. Thank you, Elena! We appreciate you so much!”

About: Ive taken care of dogs since I was a young boy. I love dogs of all species and love to play and learn about dogs when I can. I currently have a blue heeler so high energy dogs are no problem. I would love to use my free time to do something productive and help people make sure their animals are cared for and give them the extra attention that I can. I live in an apartment, but I love taking my dog to the park to play to let out his energy. We also love to play in the house aswell.

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!

About: I’ve taken care of dogs for the past 7 years as well as fostering when I can. Your dogs will be treated like my own! Both neighbors & family members have offered me the chance to pet sit before anyone else because they knew their dogs were not only taken care of, but loved. There have been occasions when I could not pet sit & they moved around their vacation days just to have me over. They know my experience with dogs goes beyond my own & extends out to strays & for that reason, they trust in my ability to care & love for their animal friends. I’m very willing to bathe, give special care, run errands if necessary for the pet & tend to special instructions left to ensure the pets safety & well being. I take care of my three dogs on a daily basis from morning to night from feeding, timed medications, walks, backyard time & cuddles to their hearts content! It’s a must to understand all the rules & boundaries with pets & their owners. One of my own dogs has medications that cannot be missed & I have also watched after other dogs who have special dietary restrictions & have medications that need to be taken on time. In my experience, special care comes with frequent bathroom breaks, more love & attention, & a watchful eye. These are some of the things I’ve taken on while watching dogs/pets.

“WOW! What an amazing experience we had with Kendall! She sent us updates and pictures multiple times a day. Not to mention she’s a total sweetheart. She even set up elf on the shelf for our kids before we came home from our trip! Couldn’t recommend enough!”

About: I have extensive experience in pet care, including feeding and exercising dogs through regular walks. I possess knowledge in pet health and wellness, and I am empathetic towards animals, which helps me understand their behaviors. Additionally, I am skilled in administering medication when necessary, ensuring the pets are well cared for and healthy. Pet care can easily fit into my routine, especially when unemployed . It can provide a great sense of purpose and companionship. Taking care of pets can give me a structured daily schedule, ensuring i have tasks to do and responsibilities to fulfill. It's a rewarding way to spend your time and can bring joy and fulfillment to your day. When caring for my pets at home, I ensure they receive the best possible care. For my cat, I provide a balanced diet, fresh water, and a clean litter box. I also make sure to spend quality time with my cat, engaging in play and giving attention to meet their emotional needs. I don’t have dogs of my own but for dogs, I focus on regular feeding, daily exercise through walks, and maintaining their health by monitoring for any signs of illness. I also prioritize training and socialization to ensure they are well-behaved and happy.

About: I’ll take the time to learn your pet’s habit, routines and for a custom, 1on1, reliable care! :) As an independent sitter, you’re never just a time slot in my calendar. I take the time to get to know your pet’s personality, quirks, and routines so they feel safe, happy, and loved whether I’m there for an hour or overnight. I organize my schedule around your needs wether early mornings, middayor evening check-ins, i’m consistent and attentive and always punctual. I’m super flexible since i work from home so i can absolutely give pets the time and attention they need which means they wouldn’t be squeezed into a tight schedule. I have a large backyard yard, completely fenced. I do not have any animals of my own so your pet will be safe and sound!

“She was absolutely amazing 😍 will definitely be booking her again.”

About: Hello! Don't let my profile location deter you from reaching out, I have a very wide service area. I am available to care for all of your pets while you're away! Please contact me for a quote if you have a pet you'd like me to care for other than a dog or cat (submit it as a dog/cat request) ☺️ New to Rover? I have a discount code for you if you book your first service with me! I am available for night and evening drop-ins to feed and play with your pets. Do you work nights and hate leaving your babies alone? Are you going to a fancy dinner and want to make sure your pets are okay when you're gone? I can come by and give you some peace of mind. I can also care for other pets, including lizards, fish, hamsters, rabbits, etc. I am a huge animal lover. I adopted a senior dog years ago and he was the best dog ever, up until his very last day in December, 2023. Our household has water snails, fish, three cats, a dog, and a pig! I have experience with rabbits and hamsters and other small pets, and I have experience with special needs animals. My longest boarding to date was 5 months for a senior cat with Cerebellar hypoplasia. My schedule recently changed, so I am available on most days for drop-ins and walks. I also offer boarding, house sitting, and daycare. We are a very animal friendly household. I have a fenced yard and a kiddie pool so your doggos can play and keep cool! My piggy will be there to keep your baby company and I have a 14 year old kid who loves to snuggle and play with all your pets! Cats will enjoy their own space so they can feel comfortable ☺️ !!!Important Notes!!!: I love watching and caring for your snuggle bug(s)! However, I have to sleep too. If you can't pick up your pet before 7pm, one additional day of boarding or doggy daycare will be added to your booking. An additional fee will be added for dogs over 40 pounds. Dogs under 1 year and/or "bully breeds" will be accepted on a case-by-case basis. By booking with me, you acknowledge that if your puppo damages property, you are responsible for any cost of repairs or replacement. When damage occurs, it is usually caused by pets that do not crate or have high anxiety when left alone for even short periods. My policy on dog breeds and sizes is in place because of two separate incidents. First, I lost a beloved pet to a boarded Rover doggo on Christmas morning, 2020. Having to put my little pig Minnie in the freezer after being attacked on Christmas morning was a horribly traumatic experience. In June 2023 I was attacked by a 110lb Rover dog at a meet and greet and had to go to the hospital. If the owner had not been present, I would have been killed. These are incidents that I will not risk repeating. Thank you so much for understanding!

“I highly recommend having Karen take care of your pups for house sitting. She asked all the right questions to get to know the pups before our meet and greet. She was able to handle our zoo (Rottweiler, Doberman and Spaniel pups) with so much love! She was very patient with our nervous foster pup and gave our needy boy all the endless cuddles!”

“Tony was excellent. We were out of town for 11 days, he sent us updates and photos. He is an amazing communicator. Our flight canceled coming home and I had my sister go pick up the dogs, she said that the dogs were so calm and happy. He also left my house spotless. I couldn't be more happy with Tony's services. We will be going out of town a few more times this year, Tony will be our FIRST choice, nd hopefully only choice. We couldn't be more happy with the respect and love he gave to our home and our dogs. Thanks Again Tony.”

“I am so happy we had Cadence dog sit for us! She is so professional and sent us updates and pictures. I felt completely comfortable and safe leaving her with our dog. I wouldn't hesitate for a second to ask Cadence to sit for us again; she was fantastic. Our dog was clearly a happy gal!”

About: I’ve been around dogs for as long as I can remember, from newborn to senior I have cared for them all. Caring for animals is truly fulfilling. I work full time but I am available from Friday 5pm to Monday night. My dog is crate trained and she’s a tiny little lady so she won’t be a problem. I wouldn’t leave either my dog nor yours alone until I have verified they can play amicably. I live in a nice area where dog walking is common and there’s plenty of grass for long walks if needed

“Eliana took great care of our babies and our home! We felt confident leaving them in her care based on her calm, kind demeanor and the insightful questions she asked during the meet and greet, which showed her knowledge and intuition for animal behavior. She kept in great contact and was even a great sport about some circuit breaker issues that popped up while we were away. Reliable, responsive, and very sweet with our precious pets!”

About: I’ve taken care of litters of puppies since I was in middle school, grew up owning plenty of dogs/cats/animals and I have my own adventure cat! I have Always had pets! I would pick up opportunities to meet and care for your babies on my free time. Walks, drop ins, and house sitting preferably:) looking forward to meeting you and your fur babies! To care for fur babies I make sure they are comfortable with me and get playtime. I make sure to keep up with food schedules and I love giving walks/exercise.

About: "I have over 8 years of hands-on experience caring for a variety of pets including chickens, guinea pigs, cats, and dogs. Additionally, I have provided dog sitting services for close family friends during their vacations. My involvement in protection and basic obedience training has equipped me with skills to assist in training dogs, including puppies." I am currently a full-time student, with plenty of time for drop-in visits and walks. I tend to have classes either in the morning(8am usually ) to noon but my schedule varies each day so feel free to contact me and I’ll try my best to fit your pet in! 🫶 For drop-in visits, I offer comprehensive care for your dogs, including crating if necessary, ensuring they have ample water and adhering to their feeding schedule as required. I prioritize providing regular potty breaks and maintaining cleanliness before departure. During visits, I will also engage them in play to expend excess energy. During walks, I am vigilant about the environment to prevent your pup from picking up random items. I am also capable of adjusting the activity level to include running, depending on your dog's exercise needs. Additionally, I am attentive to any specific triggers your pup may have, such as shyness around people or aggression towards other dogs, and I am committed to accommodating these sensitivities accordingly.

“Makeda was very accommodating when I requested an orientation visit a week or so before the scheduled dogsitting, and impressed me not only by the details she had requested about my dog in advance but also with her recall of what I had told her. She sent several photos of my dog to me while I was away, and apart from a scattering of treats she left for my pet, she otherwise left no trace--very clean and respectful.”
