Pet Sitting Parkside

“Tara was a life-saver! My pup got sick while I was still out of town and she was available and incredibly responsive on short notice to help coordinate taking her to the vet, and quickly learned how to apply the prescription eye ointment. She was very attentive to detail and made sure Maddie was well-cared for during this very stressful time. I appreciate her help immensely!”

“Duygu did an excellent job caring for my cat. She’s very sweet and nice, my cat loved her. She’s very thoughtful and she did everything I asked for and more. She will be the first person I ask to watch my cat again.”

Roy V.

“Joseph did a great job with my cats and even got one of them to warm up to him a bit about halfway through (both of my cats are very skittish). He kept my place neat and tidy while I was away, too. I will continue to utilize his services as much as he is available!”

“Ronnie did a fantastic job with our cat, handling some problems with the house key smoothly and giving us daily updates. She’s very perceptive with the cat, understanding him and helping him be less anxious while we were away. We’re grateful for her help!”

About: As an active college student and animal lover, I am very well versed in taking care of all kinds of animals including senior dogs, blind and deaf dogs, dogs with seizures and arthritis, diabetic animals, senior cats, young pets and fish Im currently in school and have plenty of free time on weekends including all day Friday, most Saturdays, Sundays, and Mondays, I have had pets all my life and am ready to treat your pets like they are my own! I do not offer boarding but I can care for your pets in any way you please while you cannot watch over them and can accommodate special needs upon request

About: It is never easy leaving your pup in the care of others while away. I’ve been there many times with my own dogs. I strive to provide the best care I can to put my doggie guest and their human at ease. The key to a positive experience is to know my guest's daily routine and their needs well. For 7+ years, I opened my heart and home to foster dogs of various age, size, and breed. I learned lot of about caring for dogs and dog behavior. Dogs are a huge part of my life. Currently, I am not fostering dogs, and my own dogs have all passed. I work from home with flexible hours, so your pup will enjoy a lot of attention. Your pup's days will be filled with customized exercise, playtime, and attention to their dietary routines. With my knowledge in dog behavior and positive reinforcement, your pup will always feel safe, understood, and supported! I integrate pet care into my daily schedule with: *Constant companionship: I work from home with flexible hours, your pet is never left waiting for attention. *Basics: appropriate treats and regularly refreshed water bowls, and a flood of affection. *Tailored Fitness: guaranteed minimum of 2 daily walks, adjusted to your dog's needs (from long, athletic trail walks to short, gentle potty breaks). *Routine preservation: I honor your dog's specific home schedule to prevent any stress or disruption while you are away. I have a fence in yard. My doggie guests can use the doggie door anytime to access the yard. They can roam free in the house. I have several dog beds in the house and they can lounge in the sun in the spot of their choosing. I am very conscientious about not leaving food or trash out to keep my guests safe. Overall, life in the house is peaceful with many fun outings to engage them physically and mentally. I follow clients' specific instructions and routines to keep my guests comfortable and safe in my care. Their safety and well-being is my top priority.

“Wei was amazing and so thorough with instructions, and she sent such great photos of our kitties while we were traveling. We had no worries while away that our cats were well taken care of. Will definitely book again!”

About: I've had dogs in my life since I was 4 years old! I was raised in a chihuahua family, and am now a pitbull mom to an 8 year old pup. I've lived with and taken care of many dogs in between. I took care of my family dogs up until their end of life, and simultaneously raised a rescue pitbull/boxer puppy from 8 weeks old. Raising and training a rescue has taught me exponentially about how to care for dogs, especially large breeds. I feel confident about my ability to handle high-energy, sensitive and vocal dogs. I have experience in crate training, commanding with treats, administering medication, walking multiple dogs at the same time, walking dogs in busy urban areas, playing off leash at the park and playing off leash at the beach. I have cared for many friends dogs, ranging from puppies to senior dogs. I could not imagine a life without pups! I'm currently earning a master's degree, and I am free outside of classes and working on projects in my studio. I have some availability during the week and free on weekends to take care of your pups! I am very intentional and attentive to my dogs, who require a lot of love and care. I prioritize their exercise, food and comfort in my routine. It's important to me that the animals I am taking care of have all their basic needs met and are safe and comfortable. I am also respectful to owner's instructions and feedback, understanding that animals have specific needs and routines.

“Mikele was so gentle and kind to my sweet senior cat with medical needs. She was able to give him his medications and sent regular updates, we appreciated her care!”

Lizzie A.

“I always know that when Elle is staying, everything is going to be taken care of. She understands the personality differences between our cats and has earned their trust. I know I didn't have to worry and can enjoy my trip. 10/10 - would recommend!”

About: What sets me apart is how much I genuinely care about making pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I’m attentive to each pet’s individual personality and routine, whether they’re a playful puppy who needs extra patience and structure, an energetic dog who loves long walks, or a senior pet who needs gentle care and extra attention. I’m also big on communication and will keep you updated with photos, videos, and regular check-ins so you never feel out of the loop. My goal is for your pet to feel like they’re getting a second home—not just a sitter. I work a 9-5 during the week but work from home Mondays and Thursdays with plenty of flexibility. I’m home most of the time from Friday night through Sunday night as well. I typically don’t stay out all day and will be home about every 4 hours or so at most. The days that I work in the office I leave the house at 8:15 and get home by 6pm. I have a fenced yard and also live just a few blocks away from the beach. In my past experience, the dogs I’ve cared for have always enjoyed walks and jogs by ocean beach. Pets are allowed on my furniture and are allowed to explored the bedrooms, kitchen, den and back yard. I provide a safe, calm, and pet-friendly environment where pets can feel comfortable and cared for. I carefully follow each pet’s routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, medication, and any special instructions. I always supervise pets, keep doors and gates secure, and make sure they have a clean, comfortable space to relax. I also communicate with pet parents throughout the stay with regular updates, photos, and videos so they can feel confident their pet is safe and happy.

“Jade watched our senior kitty while we were away for a long weekend. She kept in touch and gave us thorough reports. I was able to relax because I knew Jade was taking excellent care of Leila.”

About: Hellooo I’m Merci! 🌻 As a previous dog and cat owner (amongst other animals), I have significant experience with caring for them and would love to assist your family with your pet care needs! Open to regular schedules and occasional drop ins. I’m a full time student studying Hospitality Management, I have to be on campus in the morning from 0930-12 and I work for about 4-5 hours overnight/early morning per day outside of Rover. If this works for you, let’s meet! I look forward to assisting you!! 🌻 I’m currently in school and working part time. I like to go in walks throughout the day to help clear my mind, so walking dogs is no problem. For pet sitting, I’m open to the needs of the owners and pets. I follow routines already put in place or I can help to develop one to best serve the owners and pets. I’m ok with cleaning up after pets as long as I’m aware of where the cleaning materials are. I will use caution and ask for assistance if any special fabric, carpeting, or furniture has been affected.

“Deirdre is wonderful. Right off the bat when I first met her I got an excellent first impression. She is warm, friendly and was great with Stella. She communicated and provided great pictures of her visit. I’m so happy to have found her and can’t wait to use her again.”

About: I’ve always been the person to train and take care of the dogs in my family, all my friends leave their dogs with me when they go out of town because they know I love their dog almost more than them 😂. I also do film photography and I love shooting photos of dogs. I can match your dogs energy so there’s never a dull moment. Honestly dogs are just the best and I could be around them all day. I’ll treat your dog like they are family because to me they are. I make my own schedule for work for the most part. . I can always walk dogs early in the mornings and in the evenings. I never really go out on the weekends so I can have a lot of time to spend with pets. Sometimes I’ll go on a trip for work and I won’t be available but I’m free a lot of the time. Pet sitting walking would fit perfectly into my schedule. I make sure the pet is fed, hydrated, and comfortable. Keep them company, have fun, take pictures, if crating is needed, I can do that. Showers, toys, treats. They can get on my couch, bed if that’s okay with the owner. I love cuddling with animals so I’m all for it.

About: I take caring for your fur babies seriously—whether it’s a daily walk or an overnight stay. I’ve been trusted by close friends and even my boss to provide reliable, loving overnight care for their pets, knowing I’ll treat them like family. I also have experience fostering rescue dogs with special needs. One was visually impaired, and another was recovering from a fractured hip after a hit-and-run. I nursed both back to health with patience and compassion, and today they’re thriving in their forever homes. Whether I’m stopping by for a walk or staying overnight, I bring a calm, attentive presence and a genuine love for animals. Currently, working from home! So I'd be happy to have a furry co-worker with me during the day. Weekends I can be available for overnights. At my home, dogs can enjoy a fenced backyard or my neighborhood has lots of grassy areas for stress-free potty breaks and peaceful strolls. I also have a crate available for small to medium-sized dogs who feel more secure with their own cozy space. When I walk dogs, I go at their pace—stopping for sniffs, water, or just a break when needed. I believe walks should be enjoyable and tailored to each dog’s personality and energy level. In your home, I maintain your pet’s routine as closely as possible so they feel secure in a familiar space. I’m tidy, respectful, and always alert to your pet’s needs, whether it’s playtime, medication, or simply companionship.
