Pet Sitting Riverside

“Hannah was great. We booked her for a weekend to watch our cats, one of which has special needs. She took great care of them and made sure he got his medicine. Will definitely book her again.”

About: I’ve lived with dogs and cats my entire life. I currently have two perfect one eyed cats and I couldn’t be more obsessed with. I love dogs of all sizes and adore cats. I currently work from home, so my day to day is pretty flexible. We can workout whatever schedule you need that your pet is most used to! Whatever your pet needs, I will take care of! It’s as if you were never gone! I’m active, so long walks are not a problem

“Rebecca is an amazing cat sitter! She is so kind, attentive, and incredibly responsive. When my cat's automatic feeder stopped working, she handled it right away—making sure my cat got fed and fixing the machine herself. Knowing my cat was in such caring and capable hands made my trip stress-free. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for top-notch care!”

About: I have grown up with dogs my whole life and have tons of experience with high energy dogs because of this. I grew up with Australian Shepherds so I know the importance of making sure your furry friend has had enough exercise. Frisbee is my favorite thing to do with my family’s dog and it allows me to get outside and get active too! Additionally, I grew up in a big neighborhood and was trusted with watching my neighbors dogs that ranged from German Shepherds, to Terriers, and even a Lab with diabetes who needed medication in the form of shots. I am also always open to learning, so if you need someone for a very specific routine or dog, I am very happy to talk! I have experience with puppies to seniors. I work from home all day everyday! So I am very available to hangout with your pets during the weekdays :) I frequently have zoom meetings on Mondays at 10am and Wednesdays at 2pm but should usually never be more than an hour. Meeting times are subject to change but should not be an issue in how and when I take care of your pets :) I am here to support you. No one knows these pets like you - and I am here to listen and follow your routines as you have set them. I will provide updates frequently and should any emergencies arise, I will immediately inform you.

About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and have always loved caring for them. I grew up with two dogs: a 12 year old Golden Doodle and a 4 year old Cavapoo, so I’m very familiar with both senior dogs and younger, energetic pups. While they are my family dogs and not currently living with me, I’ve been involved in their care my entire life, handling walks and daily responsibilities, especially when my parents were at work and I took on most of their care. I’m comfortable with walks, feedings, playtime, and making sure dogs feel safe, happy, and well cared for. I treat every dog like my own and enjoy getting to know their personalities! I work in the office Monday through Wednesday from 9:00–4:30, so my availability is a bit more limited during those days. However, I’m available during evenings on those days for walks or drop-ins. I work from home on Thursdays and Fridays, which allows me to be much more flexible throughout the day for pet care. Weekends can vary for me—I tend to be busy Friday evenings and Saturdays, but Sundays are generally open and a good day for me to provide care. I follow the owner’s instructions closely to ensure pets are comfortable and following their normal routine. During walks, I focus on safe leash handling and choosing routes based on each dog’s needs. For drop-in visits, I provide feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, and lots of play time of course. I always respect clients’ homes and my goal is to keep pets happy, cared for, and at ease while their owners are away.

“Jessica has been amazing - she’s very easy to work with, pays attention to details, and even goes above and beyond. Our dogs love her and we will look forward to having her watch our dogs again!”

“Kal has been a dream come true—I cannot praise her highly enough. My cats are very shy and can be anxious when I’m not around. Kal went above and beyond to meet them at their comfort level and help them feel secure. For the first time in their five years of life, they actually came out to interact with a sitter. That’s the kind of energy Kal has. From booking through sitting, she has been extremely thorough, detail oriented, and easy to communicate with. I feel so much better knowing that my boys have her to hang out with while I’m away. Your pets new favorite spare human indeed! Thank you so much Kal ❤️🐾”

“Karla is amazing! Our dog liked her immediately and he was relaxed and happy when we returned home after his first night away ever. Looking forward to working with Karla again. She’s very conscientious and kind.”

“Sarah did an amazing job looking after my ~9 month old cat while I was gone! She sent lots of photo updates to let me know that things were okay, and the my baby seemed very well taken care of. She cleaned the litter box and gave her lots of fresh water, just like I asked. I would definitely use her services again!”

Ash E.

“James was great with my cat! I knew Lollipop was in good hands when I had to leave for a week and all of the pictures made me feel so much better about leaving. He was also flexible with my changing schedule which was much appreciated!”

Ashley S.

“Grace was always on time to the visits. She went far and beyond and did everything I requested. I'm grateful I had her to take care of padme. Definitely will pick her again for a future. Thank you Grace!”

Cristina M.

“Taylor went above and beyond! So patient with our dog, will hire her again!”

Ben S.

“Sylvia was wonderful!! Provided great information and photos. The cats loved her, they don't usually come out for sitters but they adored her and it was clear she made an effort to cultivate a relationship with them. I definitely plan to book with her again.”

Lisa L.

“This was my first time having Lucy watch my cats for a long weekend. She came over the week before to meet my cats and get to know my set up. She was very sweet, and my two cats liked her right away! I was surprised, since one of my cats is very skittish around new people. My cats also have a very particular feeding regimen, and Lucy was able to follow my instructions so that both cats got what they needed. She sent me photos each time she visited. She was also very responsive to text messages if something arose (there was a mix up in the dates). Thank you for taking such good care of my cats and for being so flexible with the dates and times!”

Theresa C.

“Lauren was a great communicator and patient with Olive. She kept to the schedule we agreed on and gave good updates. I recommend her to anyone with a cat who needs a little extra TLC!”

Sidd S.

“Ahñia was amazing with our 8 week old puppy. She came over for a meet and greet and stayed way longer than she needed to and asked a lot of questions and was also incredibly kind to our older dog who is unfriendly who barks at people coming in. Our puppy immediately loved her and she is incredibly reliable and caring.”

Kira B.

“Ashley was absolutely wonderful with my two cats, Bonnie and Kiwi! She took such great care of them over the weekend and made me feel completely at ease while I was away. She gave me regular updates and photos, which I really appreciated, and I could tell my cats were comfortable and happy with her. I came home to two relaxed, content kitties and I would definitely recommend Ashley to anyone looking for a caring and reliable sitter 😊”

Shelby M.

“Danie was so sweet & took great care of my cat while I was on vacation. Danie checked in with me when she would check in with Itty Bitty and sent me pictures and videos. It was comforting to know Itty Bitty was in good hands while I was away. I would definitely book her again! Thanks so much Danie!!”

“Courtney was great with our 9 year old German Shepherd. Very responsible, professional and timely with drop-ins. Loved the notifications and pictures. Highly recommend and will derfinetly use Courtney as our dog sitter again!”

About: I’m an experienced pet sitter with a deep love for dogs of all sizes and temperaments. My wife and I sit as a team, giving your pet attentive, round-the-clock care! She works just 5 minutes from our home and can easily head home during the day for potty breaks and check-ins, while my flexible schedule on a college campus covers the rest. We've volunteered and fostered through BARCS, which has given us hands-on experience with reactive or nervous dogs with special needs. We also have our own rescue dog, Taz, who is very dog-social and loves helping us foster or sit other pups. Taz is a bit skeptical of new humans, so we completely understand the patience, quiet confidence, and space required for dogs with behavioral quirks or human/leash reactivity. Whether your dog needs oral medication, multi-dog management, or just a calm, structured routine, we treat every pet with the exact same love, safety, and individual care as our own! I work on UMD's campus, but I have a flexible schedule and I am happy to adjust my routine to fit the needs of your pet! My spouse works just 5 minutes from our house and can also come home to provide mid-day potty breaks. We prefer to sit dogs in our home, which is only about 3 blocks from Riverside Park. We have a fenced in back patio with a baby pool for the dogs to play in the shade and cool off in warm weather and we regularly drive our dog and his friends to bigger spaces through sniff-spot if they need fenced-in space to run!
