About: I already love your furbabies, we just haven't met yet! ❤️❤️❤️ Many people call me a "Dog Whisperer," and while I don’t claim the title, animals respond to my calm, intuitive presence. I bring emotional attunement, patience, and loving structure to every visit. Whether your baby is playful, shy, or needs extra TLC, I honor their unique personality. Pet sitting is more than a side gig; it’s a healing, heart-centered exchange. I offer sacred companion care that gives your pet peace and you peace of mind. I'm a Certified Self-Love Coach with a flexible schedule, which allows me to prioritize your pet’s care with presence and ease. I structure my day around the needs of the animals in my care. Whether it’s early mornings, midday walks, or calm overnight stays, I make space for them to feel safe, seen, and loved. While sitting, I read, reflect, or study, but their comfort always comes first. I care for pets in the comfort of their own home, where their routines, scents, and surroundings bring them calm. I ask detailed questions ahead of time (walk schedule, feeding preferences, medication, etc.) and follow your instructions to the letter. My care style is clean, respectful, and rooted in trust. I adapt to each animal's rhythm and always check in if something feels off. Your home is your sanctuary, and I treat it with the same care I give to your pet.

About: I’ve had pets as part of my family my entire life. Currently own 2 dogs and 1 cat…. They are great, give lots of joy, and keep me busy. I work from home and have a flexible schedule. I’d love to go on more walks and care for more cats and dogs. I have experience with many breeds and sizes. I don’t expect to board pets right now as we have a full household but I can walk and provide visits to your pets while you are out of town.

About: I’ve been around dogs and cats my entire life and I’ve taken care of different breeds and sizes of dogs/cats. I’m very patient, attentive, and I like to make sure every pet feels safe and comfortable. Whether it’s energetic puppies who love to play or older dogs who need a slower pace, I adjust my care to each pets needs and personality. I am a student still and I work part time in my families business but I enjoy going on hikes or walks in the park pretty often so I am able to bring dogs along with me. I also have a flexible schedule. I care for my pets by following their routines closely and keeping their environment clean and comfortable. I make sure they’re fed on time and exercised regularly. I respect the clients home, provide updates and prioritize each pets comfort and wellbeing.

About: I love many animals, especially dogs. Growing up I raised many litters of puppies and have always been around dogs. A several years ago my senior dogs passed away. And it took until recently for me to get another dog. Since I’ve taken care of family dogs and realized that this is something I would really like to do with my spare time, and I’d appreciate it if you would let me watch your fur family member. While taking care of your dog I will treat them like them they were my own and make sure they are well-tended. I like to go on runs and hikes so if you have dogs that need that extra exercise I can provide all the exercise they need. Your buddy is my buddy. I am fully insured as a pet sitter and certified in dog and cat CPR and First Aid. *Tuesday-Saturday I cannot provide overnight stays until the end of the year.* Although I work full time my weekends and late afternoons tend to be very free, so I have spare time if you work weekends or get off of work late. As I cannot pet sit at my home, I will be sure to secure all doors and fences at your residence. Please let me know of any specifics for your pet.

About: I have taken care of dogs and cats since I was smaller, taking care of family and friends pets. They relied on me to walk, feed, take care of and spend the night for sometimes weeks! I myself have had a puppy and a senior dog and am good with both! I am on summer vacation and work a part time job so that gives me a lot of free time to care for your pets! In my home my dogs are walked and feed daily, loved, and comfortable. In clients homes if they leave a routine that they have with their dog it is important for me to stick to it! I love how dogs have their own quirks and routines.

About: I will care for your puppy with a lot of love and respect, and I can follow your step-by-step instructions on how to care for your furry family member. I am loving, caring, fun, and very hygienic. I also offer grooming services with relaxing pet massages. I am confident that if you trust me with your furry, they will want to come back and be part of our home and daily activities. I have 10 years of experience caring for pets, during which I have learned to truly love them. I believe that pets are guardians of the human heart. Their purpose is to bring joy and love to those who welcome them and make them part of their family. My schedule is flexible from Monday to Sunday. At the moment I'm at home all week and willing to take care of and have fun with your furry. Plenty of places to go out for walks with our family and plenty of snuggles to receive from our kiddos. I live in a lovely home with a small but beautiful garden where pets can relax and enjoy fresh air. I’m located right in the heart of Riverside, a great area for daily walks and neighborhood strolls, and I love taking cute photos along the way. I don’t currently have pets of my own, so your furry friend will receive my full attention, care, and love at all times.

Casey is amazing with my 6 month old Maltipoo. He has so much energy but she is so patient with him and is very respectful of my home. I’ve been booking walks with Casey for the last couple of weeks and she is always on time. She answers my phone calls and always takes lots of pictures during their walks.

About: I have been training dogs since I was a little girl, teaching our family pet new tricks. I've since trained 4 puppies into good citizens and co-trained 2 large breed dogs, one of whom is a reactive rescue. I am very confident with dogs and know how to work through difficulties. Since I have one reactive dog in my home, I am cautious and take safety very seriously. I have professional experience caring for dogs and cats in a kennel environment. I worked at a veterinary clinic as an assistant and kennel attendant for 3 years. I am CPR and first aid certified. I also have extensive experience with horses which keeps my first aid skills sharp! I love all animals and will treat your friend as if they were my own. I am very detail oriented so I love to have lists and detailed instructions that I will follow to the letter while you're away. In my spare time, I volunteer at a cat shelter and foster difficult cases. I'm extremely attentive to animals well-being. For in-home boarding, I have space for 1 additional dog at a time. We have 2 separate yards, but one is reserved for my reactive dog to keep her and our other animals safe and happy. Our other 3 dogs are friendly but high energy. They are able to take turns with your dog being outside or play together if your dog likes to do so. Please feel free to ask me any questions and voice any concerns! I am currently trying my hand at freelance graphic design and content creation, so I work from home and have a very flexible schedule. The only commitment I have is barn cleaning Monday-Wednesday for 3 hours each day. In your home, I will follow all instructions to the letter and ensure your animals and home are kept safe, happy, and in order. At my home, I have 2 separate yards and multiple kennels available if needed. My own dogs sleep and take breaks from the elements in their kennels, but are otherwise outside barking at squirrels! Depending on your dogs temperament and play style, they can either take turns with my dogs in one of the yards or rough house along with them. While my dogs are large, they have proven themselves to know their own strength. They played very well with a Chihuahua we were fostering for a few weeks.

About: Good walks should be fun and intentional. I combine exercise, enrichment, and gentle structure to help dogs burn off the zoomies in both mind and body. With accredited R+ training and vet clinic experience, your pup's leash is in good hands. I'm available for dog walks on weekday mornings. I can arrive at a designated time, or drop by any time within my availability to pick up your pup. I will always check for any health conditions ahead of time (allergies, arthritis, heart problems, etc.) as well as any behavioral struggles or neighborhood "frenemies". I carry a portable water dish for all dog walks, especially for hot days (dish is washed between each client).

Magnolia Center, Riverside, CA, 92504

About: I’ve owned 2 dogs for the better part of 10 years. In that time I’ve trained one as a service dog, walked, fed, bathed and cuddled them 1000 times. I’ve also babysat a blind and def 16 year old dog including feeding and walking her. I’ve also lived with cats, rats, guinea pigs and rabbits all while having dogs and know how to balance small animals with all types of dogs. Pet care is a regular part of my daily life. I start each morning by walking my dog and feeding my two guinea pigs. Then it’s off to work, but I always make time during breaks or after work for another walk and to let the piggies free roam and explore safely. I spend a lot of my downtime hanging out with my pets—cuddling, relaxing, and just enjoying their company. Taking care of animals isn’t just something I do—it’s something that naturally fits into my routine. I’m used to being attentive, consistent, and making space in my day for the little things that help pets feel safe and happy. I follow any routines and instructions closely—whether it’s feeding schedules, medications, walk times, or favorite toys. I give pets space to settle in, especially if they’re shy or new to me, and then offer attention, play, and calm companionship once they’re ready. I’m always keeping an eye on behavior and body language to make sure they’re doing okay. For in-home visits, I respect the client’s space, clean up after myself (and the pets), and make sure everything’s locked up and secure before I leave. In my own home, pets are supervised and have access to safe spaces, and I keep my dog and guinea pigs separated from guest pets unless everyone is comfortable and it’s okay with the owner. My goal is to make each pet feel like they’re right where they belong.
