House Sitting Riverside

“We highly recommend Jose as a dog / house sitter! We hadn’t been able to travel for a while after moving to the area because we no longer had a trusted dog sitter nearby. Boarding facilities never felt like the right fit for our three huskies, so we decided to try a house sitter through Rover. After interviewing several sitters, Jose stood out as the best fit and he absolutely proved us right. Caring for three huskies is no easy task (any husky owner knows about the pulling, high energy, strong personalities, and quirks), but Jose handled them wonderfully. He sent us lots of photo updates, and it was clear from the pictures that the pups were happy and excited. He was very communicative and always on time. If he was ever running behind, he let us know right away. He followed all of our rules and suggestions, made sure the dogs got their energy out, timed their walks around the summer heat, and kept them safe and cared for. On top of that, Jose went above and beyond by watering our plants, keeping the house clean and tidy, and being flexible when we asked if he could extend his stay by an extra day at the last minute. We came home to happy pups and a spotless house. We would absolutely love to have Jose watch our dogs again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy, responsible, and caring sitter for their furry family members.”

“Isabel is an absolute gem!! She sat with our spoiled pups all day and they loved her! She is a great communicator, reliable and most importantly, it’s obvious she loves dogs! I will definitely hire Isabel again and highly recommend her!”

About: I was raised in a home caring for many animals including dogs, rabbits, toads, and a tortoise. During college and the year after, part of my job was looking after farm animals: horses, donkeys, goats, sheep, alpacas, chickens, ducks, pigs, and a steer. I’ve worked and volunteered extensively with cats and dogs of all age ranges and sizes even administering treatments and medications when needed. In the past decade in addition to house sitting and dog walking I have worked at PetSmart as well as an animal shelter and currently volunteer my time on the dog behavior support team at Mary S. Roberts Pet Adoption Center. I do overnight emergency fostering for bottle baby puppies and kittens and take shelter dogs out on field trips for the day when I can too. I believe all creatures deserve the best care possible and am lucky to have met so many amazing animals over the years. Pets really are the best part of the family! I am currently between jobs so I have almost fully open availability to give all my time and attention to your beloved dogs and cats! My goal is to gain the trust of every pet so I can provide the necessary enrichment and comfort for each animal to meet their individual needs during my time with them. I will treat every pet with love as if they were my own while following any house rules and maintaining the current schedule and any boundaries as instructed by the pet parent.

About: I have grown up around animals and have a genuine love for them. I have experience fostering and owning animals, understanding their unique needs. I take the time to build trust with each pet as I not only want to provide basic care but a positive and productive experience for the owner and pet. I am currently a full time college student. I have plenty of free time on my hands to spend with your furbabies. I own 6 of my own cats and understand the responsibility and attentiveness that is involved in the care of pets. I understand each pet is different, hence I want to adhere to an environment that makes them as comfortable as possible. Any established routines with your pet will be continued, extending to their feeding schedule and playtime. Additionally, I will take note of any special circumstances your pet may have and will adapt my care to fit their needs.

“I’m so grateful Casey was available for a last minute booking when our sitter had an emergency. She took great care of our dogs and sent photos and updates on how they were doing. She paid attention to our instructions and left our home in perfect shape. We would definitely book Casey again.”

About: I’ve been a dog owner for the past 6 years, so I understand how important it is to make sure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Over the years, I’ve gained hands-on experience with feeding, walking, playing, and taking care of my dog’s everyday needs. I’m a responsible, outgoing, and active person who genuinely enjoys spending time with dogs. Whether it’s going on walks, playing outside, or just keeping them company, I always make sure they get plenty of attention and care. I understand that every dog has its own personality and routine, and I’m happy to adjust to their specific needs. My goal is to make sure your dog feels right at home while giving you peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands! I’m currently a student at UC Riverside, where I’m involved in clubs, intramural sports, and other campus activities. Although I stay involved with school, my classes are primarily in the mornings, which gives me plenty of flexibility throughout the rest of the day to care for pets. I’m able to work around my class schedule to provide dog walks, feeding, playtime, and house sitting. I can also go back and forth between campus and your home to make sure your dog is fed, checked on, and given the attention they need. I enjoy staying active and spending time with dogs, and I’m committed to making sure your pets are well cared for while you’re away! When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well taken care of. Having my own dog for the past 7 years has taught me how important it is to follow a pet’s daily routine, whether that’s feeding, walking, playing, or just giving them attention and company. I understand that every dog has different needs and personalities, so I’m happy to follow any specific instructions from their owner. I also make sure to keep the home clean and organized, respect the owner’s space, and provide updates so they know their pet is doing well. My goal is to make sure your dog feels loved and comfortable while you’re away!

“Elena was very polite a professional. The dogs seemed to warm up to her right away. From our brief conversation she proved to be very knowledgeable and patient. Would recommend and book again”

About: I’ve had animals my entire life, so I have gained quite a bit of experience taking care of them and picking up after them. I absolutely love animals with all my heart, and have cared for all sorts of them: cats, dogs, turtles, fish, birds, you name it! I am extremely responsible and have the patience and love to fulfill all of your pet’s needs! I feed my dog and cats every day. I pick up after them in the yard every couple weeks. I walk my dog occasionally, but play with him every day. I pet and play with my cats all the time! In my client’s home, I follow all instructions and timelines. I show love and care to each and every animal. I clean up after the animals when needed. Whatever you request, I will do! And more!

“Just wonderful! Great communication, great with my dogs, even with my senior super skittish dog. Caring of my dogs and my house. Thank you so much Aiden, it was a pleasure working with you.”

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is that, I have an infinite amount of patience with pets, I often come off overly professional as far as training within the skills I have, lastly, why dog, puppy, cat, or kitten doesn’t need more love in their life? I don’t have any schedule restrictions. I have an entirely open schedule so feel free to book whenever you need. Home most of the time. How I care for pets in my clients home is making sure some type of physical activity occurs to ensure excellent physical health, as well as proper meal times (meal preps). Letting the clients pet do at least something that they find joy in (of course, something safe and harmless).

About: As a registered veterinary technician (nurse) I have the background and education to give you the peace of mind that your fur babies are well cared for. I have experience caring for all animals from pocket pets to livestock and everything in between! I am also fear free certified so I know the signs of stress and how to help your pets feel the most comfortable. I just graduated from college so I am completely available for all your pets needs. If you need a one time visit or a regular schedule I am here. I will bring all my expertise into their own home, keeping their routine consistent. I love to play, cuddle, or sit on opposite sides of the house whatever they prefer.

About: I have been taking care and training my dogs since a young age. I have also watched many types of dogs for a couple of years now I take my dog to exercise and work with him twice a day and i take him for pee breaks also when it is warmer so he doesn’t have such a long break. I do a lot of mental work due to his breed and make sure i feed him the correct food and treats to keep him healthy. I make sure they are comfortable with me and make sure i can care and take care of them as much as possible. I will and have never stepped over an animals boundary and due to the way my dog is i am very careful with dogs and understanding of what owners and my self needs with dogs

“Yu Jie was absolutely awesome, especially being available for me on such short notice. She pampered my bundle of joy, Spirit, by taking him on multiple walks, playing with him, and keeping him entertained. With all his energy, she made sure he stayed active and happy. She also made sure he ate at his appropriate time, which gave me peace of mind knowing he was well cared for. Yu Jie went above and beyond, by not just meeting his needs, but making him feel loved. She is welcoming, kind, and clearly has a natural connection with animals. I will definitely continue to trust her with my Spirit and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone reliable, caring, and attentive to take care of their furry babies.”

“Air was so great!! Bubba can be aggressive, depending on how you approach him, and he immediately ran up to her and gave her a kiss 🥹 He won’t do a lot of things while I’m gone, but she got him to go outside, potty, fetch, and eat cheese - things he wouldn’t even do for my family off the bat. I appreciated the updates throughout the day, as well as the pictures. This was my first time using Rover, and I’m so glad that I chose Air to watch Bubba while I was visiting for a wedding 🩷 I would ABSOLUTELY rebook if I lived there!!”

About: I have owned 7 pets in my life: dogs, cats, rabbits, Guinea pigs, etc. My love for animals has always been abundant so no temperament or special needs will stray me away from your pet! Rest assured they will be loved and cared for in my hands. I am currently working part-time at a horse farm in the morning and evening and have school on Tuesdays and Thursdays. With my flexible schedule, I am looking more ways to spend time with animals. I can discipline your pet if needed. On the opposite side, I can be the best friend to your pet! Any special instructions you give me as I enter your home will be done thoroughly.

“Sammantha was able to help me at the last minute which is almost never possible for me! She followed everything I asked and my sweet dog was very calm with her. She made sure to send updates and photos. We felt very calm leaving him with her, would recommend!”

I live in a safe, quiet neighborhood with a fully fenced yard (front and back), and I share my home with three friendly, older dogs two small poodles.

I have years of experience with senior pets and those with special needs including dogs who are shy, anxious, or have separation anxiety. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priority. When caring for your pets whether in my own home or in a client’s home safety, trust, and comfort are my top priorities.

About: As a college student and lifelong animal lover, I know pets are not just animals but are family. Whether that be a high-energy dog who just wants to play or a pet who just needs some extra patience and attention, I want to make them feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you're away. Expect plenty of belly rubs, lots of affection and photo updates! Every pet is treated like my own little guy at home ☺️ I am currently a college student who is also working part-time, im used to managing my schedule in order to fit around all my responsibilities. I love to spend time with animals, I have my own at home so I understand what it's like to needing that extra care for our animals especially when we have our own responsibilities outside of them. Im here to give your pets the time they need whether that be through time, attention, exercise, or whatever care they need. Im committed to being a reliable and consistent care for each pet I look after! I try to focus on making your pets comfortable and as close to their routine as possible due to the change in caretaking, I understand the affects it can have on our animals when there is change in their routine. I will make sure they have food on schedule, fresh water, playtime, as well as attention. Any specific instructions given by the owner will be tended to, I will also make sure photos and updates are sent in order to keep a peace of mind with leaving your pets in my care :)
