Top rated Riverside doggy day care sitters
“I appreciate how kind and understanding Yuliia is even with last minute changes. Haku is always so impatient to see his favorite sitter! She takes good care of him and was a big help in his recovery. I can’t recommend her enough!”
“Rhae was very responsive, kept me updated during my dogs' stay, my dogs seemed happy! She took the time to walk them a few times while they were there just for the day. Very easy to work with, definitely recommend.”
“Paulina and her family did a great job with our pug! This was the first time we used the app to find a dog sitter, but this was a great experience. Paulina sent me lots of photos and videos of my dog all day and I could tell my dog was having lots of fun. Lots of tail wags. She has a nice yard too for dogs. I would definitely have her watch my dog again.”
“Emily and her pup were the best! She shared many photos and videos of their time together, and Burger was so relaxed and enjoyed his time so much. He misses his new best friends already!”
“Marissa provides a really wonderful home for our dog, is flexible on timing, gave us peace of mind throughout the day, sent photos the whole time. Highly recommend!”
“Karen is the best! Haku is so happy to see her every time. I really appreciated how flexible and understanding she was even with unexpected changes to my work schedule. Wonderful person, we are so excited to see her again soon!”
“Very personable, inviting, and understanding. The house is clean, organized, and very dog-friendly! I appreciate Samuel taking care of Haku on such short notice as I was needed at work. He’s a great guy!”
“Dez and wife were great. I felt really good after the initial meet n greet. When I went to drop of Frankie, I felt at ease when Frankie immediately started to pull towards Dezmond's house and happily went with him when I handed him the leash. Frankie has severe separation anxiety, but when we got to Dezmond's Frankie could not care less that I was leaving! It felt good to see how happy and comfortable Frankie was to be there. Dezmond was very communicative and kept me updated throughout the day. Frankie had a great time during his stay, loved playing with Dezmond's dogs and didn't want to leave! He left a tired, happy boy. I would recommend Dezmond and his wife again and also look forward to having Frankie have future visits with them too!”
“Even though she was sick, Kayla took great care of my 9 week old puppy today. She was great about keeping me informed, sharing photos and videos. I was impressed how much knowledge she demonstrated and shared about puppy behavior, my dog’s breed characteristics and nutrition, I feel confident leaving my puppet with Kayla will help her socialization tremendously!”
About: I’ve been dog-sitting and house-sitting for clients locally for the past 15 years. I’m an avid animal advocate and treat others pets like my own. In my spare time as a health coach, I enjoy researching pet wellness and nutrition. My clients know when they go out of town that their pet is in good hands. My current schedule and availability for pet-sitting is open, as I complete additional training for health coaching. I also work remote but have flexibility on the weekdays and I’m open on weekends. I provide care for your pets based off the directions and specifications provided. All pets are completely unique and have different needs and levels of care. I enjoy providing extra attention and play to dogs/cats who have anxiety. This can get overlooked when families are busy in their routines, and is so important for pet wellness. I have many friends who have pets with “behavioral issues,” that end up being alleviated with some extra attention, love and play.
About: World reknown cat lady and dog lady in search of new furbaby friends! My specialty is senior and geriatric pets. Special needs are no problem so long as you can be honest and clear about how to care for them. Communication is key! Currently taking classes online so I'm able to stay home with your pets full time. I only book one client at a time so you can rest assured your pet(s) will get exclusive care and my full attention. Chicago is my hometown but I've also done Rover pet sitting in Spain and California. Grew up with pets all my life - dogs, cats, hamsters, guinea pigs, bunnies, reptiles, horses, birds, you name it. My childhood home in Palos Park was always full of animals. Cared for many senior and disabled pets as an adult both adopting and providing foster care via various rescue organizations including St Sofia's Forgotten Felines of Illinois. I only book one client at a time so I'm able to stay at home with your pet(s) full time. All I need is wifi for my classes in order to provide 24/7 care and supervision. Available for both short and long term bookings. You can count on me to shower your pets with plenty of nonstop love and attention! I'm also in the habit of keeping things tidy because a clean home is a happy home. Seeing how reviews from British clients don't appear on my US profile, just let me know if you would like to receive additional references.
