Dog Sitting Riverside

About: I grew up with dogs my entire life, including a German Shepherd, Golden Retriever, and Pitbull mix, so I’m very comfortable with both large and high-energy breeds. I also have experiences with extended stay puppy sitting where I managed feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and creating a calm, structured environment. I understand how important consistency, patience, and attentiveness are, especially with puppies. I’m currently preparing to welcome a Golden Retriever puppy of my own, so I’m very intentional about creating safe, positive experiences for dogs. I work Monday through Friday but my partner is currently home all day, so someone will always be there to care for your dog! We are open to boarding any night. Walks I am primarily available after work or sometimes the morning before. My partner is currently available most anytime! We are both reliable and detail oriented. We are prepping to bring in our very own golden retriever puppy, so will treat your dog as if they are our own! As mentioned above I work Mon-Friday roughy 8-4. My partner is currently home throughout the day so someone will always be there to care for your dog. We are open to boarding almost any day especially weekends where we are both home. Walks and drop ins work best for me before work hours or after but my partner has open availability so between us we can accommodate to you! Feel free to ask if you have any specific availability questions! :) Your dog’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I live in a clean, calm, and pet-friendly environment and am very attentive to routines, feeding schedules, and safety during walks and care. I always keep dogs securely leashed on walks, avoid unsafe situations, and closely monitor their behavior and well-being. I understand how important trust is when someone is caring for your dog, and I take that responsibility seriously. I’m reliable, respectful of your home, and committed to providing a safe and positive experience. I’m also happy to send regular photo and video updates so you always feel confident and connected while your dog is in my care.

About: I have always lived with dogs and love pet sitting for others! I aspire to be a veterinarian in the future because of my passion for animals. I interned at a vet clinic this past summer and gained valuable knowledge about pets and how to care for them. I have a very flexible schedule since I am currently home from college for the summer. I am available most days with a notice in advance. I have a fenced in yard and one dog at home. I will be able to walk and play with your dogs, as well as feed them if needed.

“Lexi is amazing! I was fortunate to find her in a last-minute situation, and she enthusiastically took on three drop-in visits with less than 24 hours’ notice. My timid rescue beagle warmed up to her immediately, she followed very specific instructions perfectly, and I will definitely be using her services again!”

“Tamara dropped in to check on our dog while we were out of town for a week. She came to our home twice a day and sometimes 3 to check on our dog. She was amazing and we felt our pet was well cared for while we were gone. Tamara sent us pictures and videos at every visit. We could tell how much she cared for our dog. I highly recommend her and would not hesitate to hire her again.”

“Justice took great care of my cat Opal. She was quick to learn her medication injection routine and made both Opal and I feel comfortable while I was away. She was very responsive and made sure to send me updates with every drop-in visit!”

“Great communication, friendly and professional! Has experience with pitties, which is was a determining factor in our booking. Karen was very understanding and supportive of Diesel's needs.”

About: Experienced, Thoughtful Care for Dogs of All Sizes With 15+ years of experience caring for dogs and two lovable and furry 85 pound dogs of my own, I’m very comfortable with all from active large breed to gentle senior companions. I’ve also spent years caring for small dogs (including pups around 10 pounds), so I’m used to adjusting walks, playtime, and care to fit each dog’s size, personality, and pace. Dogs have always been a huge part of my life, and I genuinely love getting to know each dog’s unique personality, whether they’re the adventurous “let’s walk forever” type, the neighborhood squirrel patrol officer, or the happy couch companion who prefers a slower stroll and extra belly rubs. I take pet care seriously and prioritize routine, safety, and consistency. I always double check collars and harnesses before walks, follow feeding schedules carefully, and make sure each dog feels comfortable and secure in their environment. My goal is to keep your dog’s day feeling as normal and stress-free as possible while you’re away. I also know how important peace of mind is for pet owners, so I’m happy to provide photo and message updates during walks or visits so you know your dog is happy and well cared for. Services I Offer • Dog walking • Drop-in visits • Overnight pet sitting • Feeding and medication administration if needed • Playtime, enrichment, and lots of affection I treat every dog I care for as if they were part of my own family. Trust is incredibly important when it comes to your pets, and I’d love the chance to meet you and your dog to make sure it’s the right fit. Pet care is already a part of my daily routine. I currently care for two large dogs of my own, so regular walks, feeding schedules, and outdoor time are built into my day. Because of that, adding walks or visits for other dogs fits seamlessly into my schedule. As a student, my schedule varies slightly week to week, but it also provides flexibility that allows me to accommodate morning, afternoon, or evening visits depending on what works best for each dog’s routine. I’m very intentional about planning my day so that pets receive consistent attention, exercise, and care. I understand how important routine and reliability are for both dogs and their owners, so I always make sure feeding schedules, walk times, and any special instructions are followed closely. My goal is to provide dependable care that keeps your dog comfortable and happy while you’re away. When caring for pets in a client’s home, my priority is to keep their routine as consistent and comfortable as possible. Dogs tend to feel most relaxed in their own environment, so I make sure to follow their normal schedule for walks, feeding, playtime, and rest. I pay close attention to each dog’s personality and energy level whether they prefer an active walk, playtime, or a slower pace with plenty of affection. I always make sure fresh water is available, feeding instructions are followed carefully, and collars or harnesses are secure before walks. I also understand how important trust is when someone is entering your home to care for your pet. I treat every home with the same respect and care that I would my own, and I’m happy to provide updates and photos so owners know their dog is happy and well cared for. My goal is always to make sure your dog feels safe, relaxed, and loved while you’re away.

“Brittney was great! I really appreciated her being available on short notice to stop by and check on my babies, and she did everything we asked! She had great communication and gave me updates as well!”

“I had to search for a last minute companion for my daughter's dog and Yani just happened to be available. I cannot express how blessed I feel that I chose Yani. She definitely is beyond a blessing to my daughter's dog Bowser and we both feel so grateful for the love and care that she has shown him. I will continue to use Yani for any services, and I even booked her for my own dog. Incredible is an understatement, she is by far one of the best dog lovers I have met on here ❤”

About: I have three pets and one of them is a two year old mini Aussie. I regularly support a neighbor with their 11 year old pup and would like the opportunity to support your family in: * Teeth brushing * Crate Training * Baths & Grooming, at your request. * Walks around or in your neighborhood. * Administering medication. * Basic clicker training: I can support you and your pet(s) in reinforcing, sit, wait, spin, drop, high five, recall. * Exposure training for the anxious pups * All the cuddles, playing, and mental stimulation with safety in mind. A therapist by trade but an avid pet lover in general :) Right now my availability is flexible after 10am and before 3:30pm. Late evening are open as well for walks. Message me, maybe we can figure something out! I will treat your pet as you do. I’m interested in what their day to day schedule looks like, their likes and dislikes, favorite toys, and how to best earn their trust.

“Alonso was great and friendly! He came and met our pups before the drop-in to get acquainted with them and their routine. He was on the and sent photos to give us happy updates. We plan on continuing to have him help take care of our pups.”

About: I’ve had experience with dogs since I was eight years old! From owning a dog to working at a dog-grooming shop at 14, I have experience with both small and big dogs. Especially being in college, I get withdrawal being away from my dog, so this is free therapy for me! I am home for the summer from college, so I am available most of the day! I am very flexible with time and location! I’m in Brookfield until September. Unfortunately, I cannot offer pet sitting services in my own home because my dog doesn’t do well with other dogs, but I am more than comfortable pet sitting in your home!

About: I’m a lifelong animal lover and the proud parent of Rudy, my Husky (so yes... I am fluent in 'sass,' expert-level at managing zoomies, and I don't fear a little fur!). For years, I’ve been the 'go-to' pet person for my friends and family. Whether it’s long-term house sitting, popping in for midday care, or offering a safe environment to leave their pets while they travel my inner circle has trusted me with their homes and their best friends for as long as I can remember. In fact, it was their constant encouragement and recommendations that finally led me to join Rover! Because I work from home, I offer a level of flexibility and reliability that's hard to find. I treat every drop-in and walk as the highlight of your pet’s day. I’m not just a visitor; I’m a dedicated caregiver who treats your pet with the same attention to detail and love that you do. I work from home, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to easily fit pet care into my daily routine. I will be punctual for drop-ins/walks, spend quality time with each pet, and adjust based on your instructions. Trust is the most important part of this relationship. I know it’s a big deal to invite someone into your home, which is why clear communication is my priority. I am a stickler for following instructions—from making sure the door is double-locked to ensuring your pet gets their exact medication dosage. I’m punctual, respectful of your space, and I’m a firm believer that there’s no such thing as 'too many' photo updates! You’ll get detailed check-ins so you can see exactly how happy and safe your best friend is while you're away.

“NaBeela took care of my 2 senior cats in my home while I was out of the country. She was kind, an awesome communicator, and easy to work with. Thank you for taking such great care of things and giving me peace of mind while I was away!”

About: I have always been an animal lover and grew up with horses, dogs and cats. I’m comfortable with all kinds of animals and their needs. I have 1 small dog named Ben that I’ve had for 10 years so I understand the care that’s needed every day from walks to attention. I work a full time but flexible job that allows me to take breaks throughout the day for walks/care as needed and am predominately home but do leave for a few hours on some weekdays. I own my own house in Riverside with a big fenced in backyard. We keep everything put away and organized so there are no worries of curious noses getting in to anything

About: I have 18 years of animal care experience, including my beloved dog Belle, who was part of the family for 11 years before she went to doggy heaven. I worked at a veterinary center for 2 years and a doggy daycare, so I know exactly how to care for every type of dog. I also have experience with dog walking and doing house visits - just my first time using Rover! As far as training experience, I interned at the Shedd Aquarium working alongside dolphin, otter, and penguin trainers so I even have a stash of knowledge about animal training. I have a Bachelor of Science in animal sciences, so I understand your pets inside and out. I have a lot more experience with animal care that I would love to share, just send me a message! Sundays and Mondays are usually open. During the week, I'm mostly available for evening drop-in visits and walks after 5pm or so, but I may have some flexibility so feel free to ask! I always treat my clients' homes with respect. Locking the door back while I walk your dog, cleaning up any messes, and sticking to task are all part of my routine. Because of my years of animal care experience, I am trained to look for abnormal behaviors in pets and follow-up. I provide photos and messages with updates so you never have to worry if everything is alright. Currently, I do not own any pets of any kind so you don't have to worry about your pet interacting with any other animals.
