About: I absolutely adore animals, (I say I prefer them to people lol) and genuinely enjoy making new furry, feathered or scaly friends. - a little about me: I’ve had 18+ years of experience caring for a variety of animals of all ages including (but not limited to) dogs, cats, fish, chicken, tortoises, and even a bearded dragon! I’m a regular pet and house sitter for family, friends, neighbors and coworkers. I have experience bathing/grooming, dispensing oral medication, walking, and basic pet first aid. I take pride in my ability to quickly adapt to the unique personality and needs of your pet(s). I recently graduated with my bachelor's in psychology at the University of California, Riverside. I'm a small business owner, ex athlete (soccer and swim) and former nanny. My other hobbies include: painting, hiking, gardening, reading and baking. Over the years I've owned dogs, fish and a snake. I currently own a boxer/staffy mix who is my best friend and truly the biggest joy to be around. She’s a sassy little girl with lots of energy. - I accept same day and holiday bookings, overnight stays, and ask that you provide a 3 day notice (when possible) should you need to cancel for any reason. I have a remote job which gives me lots of free time to fill with exercising, playing, caring and bringing excitement and stimulation to your pet(s). Having a fur baby of my own I understand the anxieties of leaving your loved one(s) with someone new. I take the responsibility of caring for your home and pet(s) very seriously and am happy to answer any questions you may have. I don’t provide in home or boarding services at the moment, all services will have to be done from the pet owners home. *This is subject to change and will be updated accordingly*

I have a busy and sometimes unexpected schedule so last minute help is needed for me. She is always very sweet and accommodating and follows any instructions I give her to the T. Thank you Perrie!”

About: I will take great care of your dog. I understand how hard it is when wanting to travel and finding a trustworthy person to care for your fur baby. I’ve been looking for a side job and spending time with dogs is a plus for me. I am responsible and will treat your dogs like my own. The only downside is I have a full time job and my days off Saturday’s, Sunday’s and Mondays’s. I have no problem dog sitting on my workdays but depends on your dogs needs. I work Tuesday- Friday and off Saturday-Monday. I can take care of your fur baby on my work days but it depends on your baby’s needs. Since I have pets of my own, I will not be offering the option to take care of pups at my home. I am respectful of others homes and follow the rules. If needed I have friends that I pet sit at their homes who could write a review.

About: I'm an animal lover who has spent the last three years caring for all types of pets. Whether it's dogs, cats even fish, I'm extremely comfortable around all animals and willing to learn and adapt to best care for your furry friends!

About: What sets me apart from the other sitters is that I’ve been taking care of family dogs and my neighbors pets if needed since about the age of 10, so I am pretty familiar with dog behavior and im accustomed to knowing what they may want, need, like or dislike. And I also do have a genuine care for animals and I just want to help out and make not only the animals feel happy I want the owners to also feel that way and hope we can all have a harmonious atmosphere:) Pet care fits into my weekly routine because right now I do work part time, most of my shifts are scheduled towards weekends and the ends of the weekdays so I am available for help during those earlier days in the weeks and im not apposed to helping out even after I clock out if we are all available at appropriate times. Currently pet-less right now but I do pet sit for friends and family at times I can feed them, we can go for walks obviously, put them in crates, play with them, make them feel love and entertained but also making sure to keep the animals boundaries in check watching closely to the things they naturally seem to like a dislike for a copacetic environment.

About: My reliability, consistency, kindness, and trustworthiness are the qualities that set me apart as a pet provider. I believe in building a strong bond with both pets and owners, ensuring peace of mind with every interaction. Pet care fits into my weekly routine by giving me a meaningful break from my usual schedule. It’s something I look forward to, allowing me to unwind and connect with animals while balancing my other responsibilities. In my care, I focus on providing personalized attention to each pet, ensuring they feel safe and comfortable. Whether in my home or a client’s, I make sure to meet their needs with consistent feeding, exercise, and playtime.

About: I’ve taken care of many different types of dogs and cats growing up (both personal pets of my own and neighbors pets) and throughout my adulthood. Anyone who knows me knows I’m an animal whisperer at heart and can bond with your pet right away. I have nothing but love and care for our furry friends and want to give them the most exceptional love I can offer :) I currently work as a Cross Country Coach I. San Bernardino! My schedule is blocked 3pm-6pm usually for practice and have meets on Saturdays. I’m always home otherwise and always put my own and your pets first before making plans outside of work. I have a few kitties at home so it is best for me to tend to and spend time with your fur baby at your own home. I abide by all feeding procedures and bedtime/potty/crate time procedures. I love to play with your fur babies so they’ll have good company and have interactions with me other than quick check ins. I treat your pet as I would treat my own pet, nothing but love and care and what’s best for the fur baby!

About: Ive been caring for dogs since 2010. From Shih tzus to Weimaraners. I am very understanding of dogs’ needs at any ages, especially senior dogs. For the past 6 years I’ve been caring for cats as well, fully getting to know what goes into cat care. Caring for cats has been such a great experience. I’ve become close to an expert when anticipating a cats needs and wants. I’m comfortable with cats that are super friendly to cats that are super shy and keep to themselves. I currently have full availbility and can care for pets anytime during the day, afternoon, evening and overnight. I am very flexible with my schedule and can work with most schedules. I never leave my dogs unattended in the backyard because while it is completely fenced off they are curious and can sometimes find ways to go get into things. I also never let them off the leash in the front yard. I monitor eating time to make sure no one eats the others food. I also specially prepare their food based on needs (vitamins, mix-ins, microwaving food, etc). Also putting on coats or sweaters if it’s too cold. For my cat I never let her go outside so I’m very diligent when I let the dogs out to the backyard. I prepare her food as well similar methods to the dogs. I keep up with her nail trimming and brushing as well as keep her litter box clean and tidy. They all have had different medications at different times so im very use to keeping track of different medications needed per pet. When weve had chincillas, guinea pigs and fish, Im always very attentive to how they are. This entails monitoring them if they are getting time outside of their enclosure, cleaning up after them and making sure the other animals in home are respectful of their space :). Many times I have had to redirect my cat away from the fish tank with either a churu treat or toy lol :)

Wonderfully meeting Angelina and she's clearly a natural with dogs. My Malamute took an immediate like to her. My biggest concern when meeting a new walker or sitter is if they know how to handle big, strong dog like my Malamute and Angelina definitely does. Highly recommend for dogs big and small!

Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Rancho Cucamonga. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
