Dog Sitting in Riverdale

About: I have had a pet by my side since the day I was born. Pets are family and they deserve to be treated as such. Specifically, I have cared for other pets the last 7 years; feeding and cleaning fish tanks, overnight stays combined with daily dog walks and changing cat litter and cleaning their coats. To care for other's pets is a privilege that I do not take lightly, there is trust and commitment needed. I want to allow individuals to feel comfortable that their pet is cared for in times when they are unable to do so themselves. Above all else if a pet needs care, I want to provide them with a friendly face, playful affect and calm presence to ensure successful care treatment. I am currently working a full-time job that requires me to work 8:30am-4:30pm Monday-Friday. I occasionally work 1 day of the weekend and will provide full schedule is a service is requested. I will provide open and honest communication with client and maintain a flexible schedule outside of work hours. Currently I am unable to board pets in my home. It is something I hope can happen later in life at a different residence. In the client's home, I will care for their pet as they would like me to, ultimately wanting the pet to maintain their normal schedule as best as possible.

About: I’m a long-time cat and dog owner with experience caring for friends’ and families’ pets as well. I have lots of free time and flexible availability. I currently work part-time where I choose my own hours! I’m looking forward to using my free time to care for your pets and give them my full attention. I will care for your pets in whichever way best works for you. I’ll keep them safe and away from other animals and humans on walks, give them the right amount of exercise for their breed or size, and give them all the pets and attention they could ever ask for.

About: I've been a happy pet parent for most of my life and have helped family and friends care for their pets when they were away. I've cared for dogs, cats, birds and even backyard chickens. I have also adopted many dogs who have brought much happiness to our household, and currently have a senior terrier mix rescue. As a pet owner, I have a personal understanding of how important they are, and ensuring they are safe and cared for when you aren't able to be there. I am currently working part time and have wanted to offer pet care services in addition. I can offer flexible times for care if needed. I will care for your pets based on the instructions you provide. Their well being and safety is of the utmost priority. In my own home, I have an enclosed outside area for my dog, but I still monitor her activities outside.

“Morgan was so responsive and flexible. We came home to a happy and tired dog. We'll definitely book her again!”

“Sevinc is absolute fantastic. She was extremely attentive and friendly to my cat Arthur. I definitely felt at ease, especially with this being my cat’s first time alone overnight. I’d highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable and trustworthy pet sitter.”

I genuinely love every pet I meet and take pride in learning their unique personalities and needs. I personally have grown up with and trained pets since I was in highschool. You can count on me to be reliable, attentive, and gentle. Whether it's daily care, walks, or extra cuddles, I’m here to make sure your pets feel safe, happy, and loved while you're away.

About: I’ve had dogs and cats my entire life, so I understand that pets are much more than animals—they’re family. I know how important it is to have someone you trust caring for them while you’re away. Whether your pet needs a long walk, a game of fetch, plenty of cuddles, fresh food and water, or all of the above, I’m happy to provide the care and attention they deserve. I’ll treat your pets like they’re my own and make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re gone. I currently work full time on a hybrid schedule (Mon- Fri, 9am to 5pm), but have the availability during lunch, after work, and during the weekends to help care for your pet(s). I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I take the time to follow your instructions closely, whether that’s feeding schedules, medication, exercise, crate routines, or any special preferences. I believe communication is important, so I’ll provide updates and photos to give you peace of mind while you’re gone. Whether I’m caring for your pet in your home or taking them on a walk, I’ll treat them with the same love, patience, and attention that I give my own pets.

“Jennifer was great! She provided us updates and pictures of our Iggy for each visit. Her visits included some outside time as well as some indoor fetch, which he definitely loved! She even spent some extra time with him, which was so nice. Thank you so much for taking care of our pup!! 😊”

About: [PSA 1st-2nd week of May - limited moderate and no high energy bookings due to medical] Hello! I have years of pet care experience under my belt. Throughout my childhood I was able to grow my love and knowledge of many animals. I had cats dogs and small mammals like hamsters and bunnies growing up I got to help care for and learn about. During my teen years I helped family friends and neighbors with their pets including cats, dogs and even goats and chickens. With a solid foundation in feeding, walking, grooming, medicating, and playing with animals, I look forward to meeting and helping out many more pets throughout my twenties and beyond. I’m currently looking to go back to school, growing my expertise as a pet walker and sitter, and taking care of my own pets. I’ll have the free time and consistent schedule to check in and provide care for local pets as well. Safety trust and environment are a must when it comes to pet care. Environmentally I have my eyes peeled for hazards that could harm or cause illness in an animal, and remove those things to where they can’t be a problem. In building trust, I start every interaction with pet psychology in mind. I let them approach me with all of their senses first. Once they become interested in getting to know me, I can continue to show them I’m a safe person through gentle and secure actions on my part like walking carefully and taking softly.

About: I am absolutely a great pet caregiver and love to make visiting pets feel at home right away! I play with them, enjoy taking them for walks at a park, weather permitting, and will make them feel loved and happy. I have had cats, dogs and horses as my own pets throughout my life and I am an active animal advocate. I usually sit for 1 or 2 dogs at a time so they will get the very best attention. I will take your dog for several walks each day. Your dog will have a great time with me and be well taken care of. I work from home, part time, so they are rarely left without a human around. Photos/videos will be texted or emailed to you daily. Please no dogs over 20 lbs. I currently work from home, part time, so I can easily keep your pup happy and cared for. We will go for several walks throughout the day. I enjoy entertaining your pup with play time so they enjoy their time here. Also I have a large and interesting fenced yard for outdoor play.

About: I have experience for 30 years being a pet owner myself. I have two furry babies of my own who are friendly and would love the company. Chico is a 6yr old maltese who loves to play and Macho is a 3yr old yorkie who is full of energy and ready to get your pooch in shape if desired :) We will provide a loving and entertaining household for your pooch. Several dog parks available in my beautiful neighborhood. In addition to that I have a lovely nice size fenced up yard where your furry babies may run free. Also a very warm and cozy home with ample space for your furry baby to explore around . Flexible schedule currently. See you sooner than later. Thanks!

“Kristen was great, I was at ease leaving my fur baby’s with her and will definitely use her again. Thank you Kristen for doing an excellent job!”

About: I am a full-time pet sitter who is reliable, detail-oriented, and funny. I have been providing professional pet care services for dogs and cats for the past 12 years. I am available for both short-notice and regularly scheduled walks. Should you require overnight visits, I am also available to provide care for your pet in your home. Our pet care relationship begins with a phone call or e-mail to discuss your pet's needs. After that, we will have a consultation to meet and further discuss the particulars of your pet's needs and my visits with your pet. You can rest assured that your pet is well cared for because after each visit I will leave a note detailing how your pet was during the visit. For overnight visits, I will e-mail or text the details of the visit to you. I look forward to speaking with you and caring for your pet! I am a full time pet sitter so I am always available to give your pets the one on one love and attention they deserve. I have been providing overnight care for pets for twelve years. When pets are kept in their home environment they’re much more comfortable than in a boarding facility.

“Tanja took great care of our pets. She went above and beyond, and kept everything on order for us. We would definitely use her services again.”

Christine J.

“Samantha was so great with my cat, Oliver. He needs medication twice a day and she handled that with no issue. She also was very communicative with updates. Will definitely use her again in the future!”

Josephine H.

“Tucker arrived on time which was very appreciated. He greeted both dogs warmly and they were very excited to see him. I have 2 large breed dogs and Tucker handled them expertly. He praised them for obeying and was very affectionate with them. He took them for a jog as requested and both dogs came back tired in the best way. They now are both taking a nap. I would highly recommend Tucker!!!”

Debbie K.

“I had a wonderful experience with Ligiane! Her thoughtfulness and excellent communication skills put me at ease while I was away. They kept me updated regularly and went the extra mile to ensure I felt comfortable as a first time with a cat sitter and my cat was well taken care of. I highly recommend their services to anyone in need of a reliable and caring animal sitter.”

About: Hello friends, furry and small, hairless or tall! My name is Anthony, and I have been in love with animals of all kinds since childhood. I would always be the family member to watch others' households and pets while they were away.

I have experience in caring for all dogs of all kinds, conditions and sizes, and the same for cats! I tend to care for animals as best they should be, focusing on their mental, emotional and of course their physical health with diet, snacks, exercise, grooming and any other special need! I am often willing to share my thoughts, concerns or suggestions making sure you understand everything I am offering you and your pets and what ever other ways I can help. I am CPR certified for both pets & humans, and I have some veterinary assistance experience. I have a flexible schedule currently as I am not working a full time job, I can't wait to meet you & your pets! I'm currently working part time and I have a very flexible schedule I can move things around if need be to accommodate almost any need! I have years of experience going into the home while following any previous instructions if necessary. I can also feed, exercise, play or just sit with your pet or however to best suit yours & your pets' needs!

“First time I have used a pet sitter for my 2 pups, I had Lidia come over for 2 drop in visits while I was away for Thanksgiving day. She followed the instructions I left to the tee and kept me updated on how Dante and Preston were doing. I could not be happier with the job she did and will book her again when needed.”

Anthony C.

“Mark did an excellent job of taking care of Luna and my home and left very detailed updates regarding his drop in visits which gave me peace of mind while I was away!!”
