Pet Sitting & Drop Ins In Riverside

“Dena did a great job watching our pup while we had long days at work. She was timely and takes very good photos! Our doggie was happy and well cared for while we were away, and the extra love Harley got from Dena’s daughters was also nice.”

“This was my first time using Rover and Jo made it an excellent experience. Jo’s reports were thorough and comforting so I felt good about how my cats were doing during my trip - even my elderly and needy ones!”

“Erin was great. Timely, great photo updates, and no news to report. Will definitely be reaching out to her again! That was the first time using Rover, and first time leaving my dog for a full weekend without a family member, and all went well!”

“Christina has been awesome spending time to get to know my two dogs, even though one of them is people-phobic. I appreciated her suggestions on ways to try to ensure my little dog takes her medications. She is very caring and enjoyable to work with.”

About: What sets me apart from other dog sitters is my professional experience as an animal keeper, where attention to detail, behavior observation, and quality care are essential every day. I’ve owned and cared for dogs throughout my life and genuinely enjoy being around them, whether at dog parks, beaches, or dog-friendly spaces. Even without a dog of my own currently, I stay actively connected to dogs and understand the exercise, enrichment, patience, and companionship they need to thrive. I currently work full time as a professional animal keeper, but I’m excited to spend my free time caring for even more animals. I’m available for pet sitting, drop-in visits, and walks outside of my work hours, and I bring the same level of attentiveness, reliability, and compassion to pets that I do in my professional animal care career. I understand the importance of trust, responsibility, and attention to detail when caring for animals in someone else’s home. I am reliable, respectful of clients’ spaces, and committed to providing attentive monitoring, consistent care, and peace of mind while pets are in my care. I currently care for two cats, a lizard, and a boa, which has given me firsthand experience with the unique needs, behaviors, and routines of a variety of animals. Caring for such different species has strengthened my understanding that every pet is an individual and deserves personalized, attentive care tailored to their specific personality and needs.

“This was a great experience. Erica very reliable. Perfect for my timid cats. Erica did her best to put my cats at ease. The snuggle pictures showed her success!!”

About: I have had a dog my entire life. I helped provide senior care for my childhood lab who had issues walking and have self trained two puppies. I have had a cat for nearly 7 years and have cat sit for several friends and neighbors. I work remotely from home so I am am available when your pet needs me. I am a night owl while my partner is an earlier rise pets have someone awake at almost all hours. I have a fenced yard although I never leave my pets outside unattended, some sections of fence are less secure for smaller dogs or professional escape artists but can be temporarily altered when needed. I also provide walks and indoor playtime.

About: I have grown up with a dog in my house since I was born. I have taken care of neighbors and friends dogs while they have went on vacation or just out of town for work. Since moving away for college and now graduate school, I am looking for my dog fix since I cannot own one myself With the summer starting and vacations coming up I will do my best to be available for your dogs. I do have other responsibilities such as school and work but I am always 100% with my clients if I will be a good fit for the stay/drop or not. If you are looking to book with me but see my availability is different then what you’re looking for, please still send me a message and I will do my best to accommodate to make it work! Since I am not able to host dogs at my current place of residence, this will allow the dog to feel more comfortable with a stranger coming to take care of them while the owners are away for however long. I will adjust to their routine so they hardly notice the owners are gone. They will receive all the belly rubs and love they could ask for until their owner returns home

“Maureen is wonderful! Communicative and friendly, she took great care of our girls while we were out of town. Writes adorable updates for them too which was very appreciated.”

About: I have had dogs just about my entire adult life. I had a miniature pinscher named Trey for 15 years and he was awesome! I also had a terrier mix named Alice for 12 years whom I loved very much. I have not had a dog for a few years now and miss getting to play/walk with a four-legged friend and figured this would be a fun way to scratch that itch. I have a sunroom that overlooks acres of woods for your pup to stare/bark at and a big front window to guard and let the mailman know who's boss. I work from home and can hang out with your pup all day in my house. I have a big yard they can play in and can take them for frequent walks. I do not have any pets so your pup will get my full attention. I have had dogs for 20+ years of my life and am a huge animal lover!

About: I have taken care of kittens, cats, senior cats, dog and senior dogs. I am comfortable with administering medications and litter box care. I have raised 6 fur babies of my own as well as 3 puppies and a grand puppy! I have availability early mornings, evenings, and weekends. Working from home allows me to have a more flexible schedule and can plan for multiple daily visits. I respect your home, follow all instructions carefully, and prioritize your pet’s safety, routine, and well-being. Whether your dog or cat is social, shy, senior, or requires medication, I will provide patient and compassionate care tailored to their needs.

About: I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life - mostly well tempered labs we got as puppies. Now, my husband and I have a pitbull who we rescued a few years ago that has taught us so much about patience and unconditional love. She’s needed a lot of training and nurturing due to her abusive past and we accepted the challenge. Now, I am comfortable with all kinds of training tools such as prong and e-collars, I understand how to read behavior and body language and feel very confident caring for dogs that have different behavioral challenges. I work frequently with a trainer (with 30+ years experience) who has really changed our dog’s life for the better and has taught me how to be a more confident and responsible dog owner/caretaker. Rover is my secondary gig - I am a full time personal trainer. I work mostly afternoons and evening but am available during the day during the week and most weekends. I frequently update my calendar, so make sure to check out my availability prior to booking! I can not keep dogs in my home as our rescue dog is not friendly to other dogs, but I would be happy to care for your pet in your home/neighborhood, which I am sure is the most comfortable environment for them anyway. I love to get my steps in and was an athlete for many years so I can take dogs for short or long walks depending on the owners desired activity level for their pet! I'd be happy to walk around your neighborhood or head over to a local trail or park as well!

“I couldn't be happier with the care Anastasia provided for my pets while I was away. She went above and beyond during her drop-in visits, making sure they were well-fed, happy, and comfortable. I appreciated the updates and photos she sent, which gave me great peace of mind. My pets were clearly loved and well-cared for, and I will definitely be booking her again!”

About: I say the above because for many years, my long time dog buddy, Shelby (pictured in the photo I'm holding), loved to ride in my car, right by my side. Shelby passed away in 2018 and I miss her so much, every day. In 2019, I rescued a blue heeler/beagle mix, Nova; then in 2024, a shepherd mix, Holly. Dogs have been my companions for more than 40 years, and I have loved caring for, walking, playing, vacationing and just plain hanging with them. . I truly love dogs. They are one of humankind's most noble and steadfast animal friends. I would very much enjoy taking your best friend (or friends) for a walk. I have always enjoyed the company of my canines...and I'm sure I'd feel the same way about your four-legged pals. Plus, getting out with them is great exercise...for both dog and human! I am semi retired, so I have much flexibility in the hours that can be devoted to dog walking. I walk my own dogs in all kinds of weather, which is necessary given the variable climate here in NE Ohio! In my own home, my dogs get out for walks at least three times a day, we well as potty breaks where necessary. They have crates where they can freely go to when they wish to. Most important is that the dogs and I adhere to a stable, regular routine, including feeding and playtimes.
