Cat Sitting in Lake Arrowhead

About: Hello! As my headline suggests I am a mother of 5 kids, including triplets. We have had animals for the last thirty years, including: dogs, cats, horses, rabbits, geese, sheep, and goats! I currently have two dogs - a huge bernadoodle, and a small poodle - and a cat who is older than lots of my shoes! I absolutely adore animals and especially love to be outside in nature and fresh air. I work remotely in Glendora and I'm essentially available ANY time within a 5 mile radius. I also don't really sleep, haha... so, I'm available for evening care. I usually like to take dogs outside to run and play for about 20 minutes at a time. With cats, it's fun to use their favorite toys for interaction. But, my favorite part of pet sitting is the cuddles!

“Chad and Franchesca were amazing at looking after our two indoor house cats whilst we were away for over 2 weeks! They took care of everything from food, water, litter tray, and even playing with them each day. They also took our trash out to be collected each week, and navigated heavy snow to come to our home. They gave detailed daily reports and photos, which was great to receive every day to know the cats were doing well. They responded to messages very promptly. We 100% recommend them and would definitely use them again!”

“Chelsea was absolutely great! I was a bit nervous at first but once I met with her things changed. She updated me daily with pictures & videos. Onyx was so happy she didn’t even wanna come back home. Would recommend!!, professional, kind, knowledgeable & her response time was great. Thanks again!”

“Elizabeth is a great and caring pet sitter who thinks and anticipates needs for the pets. She really cares and it shows! I highly recommend her for any job in the future!”

“Erika took excellent care of our cat TeeterBob while we were away and we will definitely book her again for our next trip! We were so comforted knowing she was caring for our buddy which made our trip less stressful and more relaxing....”

“Rylee was fantastic. Our dog Matilda and our cat Kana slept in bed with her each night. She went above and beyond, taking Matilda for long walks every day and even taking her for a hike in a nearby mountain park. Since she lived nearby, she even brought Matilda to her home and let her play with her dogs. She texted some nice photos showing happy pets and Matilda on the hike with a great dog smile. Our home and our pets were in safe hands. We will definitely use Rylee again and recommend her to our friends.”

“Ivy was incredible! My cat needs medication twice a day, and she did such an amazing job. My cats usually get very stressed when I'm out of town, and one of them usually stops grooming himself, but I came home and he was completely fine. Ivy was so responsive, thorough, and wonderful to my cats. I will definitely be booking her again.”

About: This isn’t just a business, it’s also a big family! I am super excited to meet you guys hehehehe!!!! 🥺🥰💞 I plan to become a veterinary surgeon or cardiac surgeon and subsequently I have a huge passion for helping animals and people. I’ve taken care of cats, dogs, and other species for over 14 years. And thus far, everyone has described their experience with me as comfortable, convenient, reliable and fun! I’m looking forward to not only meeting you but also becoming very close. I absolutely love what I do which is why I am fully committed to pet sitting full time. Woohoo there’s nothing more liberating and fulfilling than doing what you love! My care depends on each clients preference. I think this is important because some people have strict pet rules in their home and I wouldn’t want to turn your pet into a troublemaker when they return home. I personally don’t have any strict rules at all, but I will do my best to follow any specific instructions that you give me!

About: Your pup will always be in my company, since I’m always at home. Lots of outside time and walks through my neighborhood’s local forest trail. Your dog(s) will have their own space in my kitchen, separate from my dog’s personal space. I am a responsible homeschooling mother of an easy-going, 6 year old daughter ( she loves animals). I am a ‘Stay at Home’ Mom, currently homeschooling my 6 year old daughter through a fantastic charter school. I make my own schedule and can easily accommodate your pet’s schedule into my own. My daughter is very well-behaved, with an easy going disposition, which makes animals love her. My husband also loves all animals, but will not be care-taking for your animals, as he is works full time. I will be the full-time caretaker of your beloved fur-friends. I have 2 portions to my property . One side is fenced on a hillside with a small astro-turfed area for potty breaks. The other side is open with a small water fall and full Astro turf. This gives dogs lots of time outside. I will also keep your dog in the kitchen, where I spend the majority of my time cooking and teaching my daughter kindergarten + computer work at the kitchen table. Your pup will also enjoy the walks around the neighborhood, which includes a lot of trees and nature.

“Karina is amazing! She’s so detailed and kind with the kitties, and leaves awesome notes about what happened while we were away. I’d use her again any day :)”

About: Caring for animals is my calling in life! I earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Zoology from Humboldt State University. As a dedicated veterinary technician and docent for the Big Bear Zoo, I have the privilege of providing exceptional care to a wide range of animals and pets. My commitment to the wellbeing of all animals goes beyond just a job; it's a lifelong passion! I'm currently working full time at an emergency animal hospital off the mountain. However, I work double shifts to allow myself some days off during the week and look forward to making some new furry friends! Caring for pets in a client's home is a responsibility I take very seriously, ensuring their comfort, safety, and happiness while their owners are away. My approach to in-home pet care includes: Meet and Greet: I begin by meeting with the client and their pet(s) to establish a rapport and understand their specific needs and routines. Feeding and Hydration: I adhere to the provided feeding schedule, ensuring that pets receive the right amount of food and fresh water. Special dietary requirements are noted and followed diligently. Exercise and Play: Regular exercise and playtime are essential for a pet's physical and mental well-being. I engage in activities tailored to the pet's age and energy level, whether it's a spirited game of fetch or a leisurely walk. Medication and Health Monitoring: If the pet requires medication or has specific health needs, I administer treatments as prescribed by the veterinarian. I also monitor their overall health and report any concerns to the owner promptly. Grooming and Cleanliness: Maintaining the pet's cleanliness is a priority. I provide necessary grooming, including brushing, bathing, and litter box cleaning, to ensure they are comfortable and hygienic. Affection and Companionship: Pets often thrive on companionship and affection. I spend quality time with them, offering cuddles, petting, and positive reinforcement to alleviate any separation anxiety. Security and Home Care: I maintain the security of the client's home by ensuring all doors and windows are locked, and I handle any mail or packages. This gives clients peace of mind while they're away. Daily Updates: Regular communication with the client is crucial. I provide daily updates through texts, photos, or videos to keep them informed about their pet's well-being and activities. Emergency Preparedness: I am trained, experienced and prepared for unexpected situations, including medical emergencies. I have contact information for the client's preferred veterinarian and am beyond qualified for basic pet first aid. Respect for Property: I treat the client's home with the utmost respect, leaving it as clean and tidy as I found it. Overall, my goal is to create a stress-free and nurturing environment for pets in the client's home, allowing them to thrive in their familiar surroundings while their owners are away.

About: I am comfortable around most animals and have spent most of my life with all kinds of pets. In the past I have volunteered at Animal Haven Shelter in NYC and have volunteered at Humane Society in Delray Beach, FL. Most recently, in my volunteer position at animal haven I was responsible for walking dogs of all ages and sizes as well as feeding and socializing them. I have done homestays for friends as well as family and clients here on Rover. I’m used to being in new environments frequently and will adapt to whatever routine you have set for your fur babies. I have a flexible schedule and can work with whatever restrictions or requests you may have. I am always happy to accommodate where I can. I have a fully fenced yard with one exterior entry/exit that is secured at all times. My Vehicle is equipped with a safety partition between the front and rear seats for safe and easy transport as needed.

“Great communication and super responsive.”

“I cannot begin to express my gratitude to Sahula (Rebecca) for the outstanding job she did for watching my kitties. She kept me posted with messages, pictures & videos throughout the day. I didn’t worry about them once while we were away. She even stayed later than originally scheduled due to our flight being delayed. When we returned, we found the house more organized and cleaner than when we left! I am praying she’s still available next year because after this experience, I don’t want anyone else watching them! Thank you Rebecca! I honestly can’t thank you enough!”

Megan M.

“Marla was great! She communicated often and clearly and did everything we asked. She did so much to try to get our shy cat to feel comfortable!”

“Sarah is amazing! I would refer her to anyone who needs a fur baby sitter. Loves my animals and even takes care of my house plants. Thank you Sarah for everything.”
