Pet Sitting Riverside

“Shelby is an amazing pet sitter! She is so kind and is a great communicator. She will take great care of your pet and makes you feel more comfortable about leaving your pet.”

“Alexandra was so incredible! My cat is very nervous around new people, but she warmed right up to Alexandra, allowing Alexandra to pet her and even take her outside on her leash. Above that, Alexandra was prompt to each visit and ensured my cat had all the necessities.”

“This was our first time having Alyssa as our house sitter and it was for quite a long stay. I’ve had some challenging experiences in the past, but Alyssa made me feel very secure in her ability to take care of all the animals. She was communicative, reliable and overall just had great energy about her. We feel really fortunate to have found her and we hope to use her in the future! Thank again Alyssa, we really appreciate you!”

About: I was raised in a dog and cat household and loved taking care of them. For the brief time in my adulthood that I did not have a pet, I would dog/cat sit for a various families often. I am fond of elderly dogs/cats and have taken care a few (including giving medications, shots, cooking specific diets, etc). I am also comfortable feeding farm animals such as horses and mules. I work full-time from my home allowing flexible time to play and care for animals. My outings are usually quick errands around town so my pets get a lot of dog mom time! I am available to do longer stays given that I work remote and love making pets feel safe and comfortable whilst their owners are away. I have a fenced-in yard and 2 friendly dogs (lab and border collie mix) to keep your furry loved one company! I also play music often for myself and for the dogs. I find it helps soothe some anxiety for them as well!

About: I have been trusted with pet and house care since I was around 10 years old, I truly treat every animal I watch as my own. I am comfortable with caring for multiple pets at a time and have experience caring for newborn kittens with health complications, senior animals, and special needs animals. I will typically build my days around pet care. My only time constraints at the time are two classes this upcoming fall term (starts around September 20th). I will have lots of time to dedicate to your fur babies. I am happy to follow the routines, instructions, and typical practices for your animal(s) in your home. I always make an effort to respect the space, communicate clearly and often, and provide care you can trust.

About: I grew up with 4 family dogs and now have a senior boxer/lab of my own. My baby and I have been together for 10 years and I also cared for a cat for about 5. I have reptile experience too! I’m a part-time student and am happy to communicate and work out a schedule that works for your pet. My classes are all in the morning and then I’m pretty open for the rest of the day! I cannot bring any animals to my place as my dog would not appreciate that, however I am happy to spend as much time needed on walks or at the pets home!

About: Taking a break from being a pet foster to pet sit again. I was a vet tech for 8 years and I have owned pets for 30 years. I can administer any medications needed. I will also watch dogs that have behavioral issues and I have no breed restrictions. My schedule provides the ability to watch puppies and provide them with the frequent play and bathroom breaks they need. I can also take your pet to any appointments they may have while you are out of town. I am unable to watch pets in my home. I will take your dog on hikes with me if you want or will take them on a stroll in your neighborhood. My work allows me to work from home so when I am pet sitting, I am able to spend a lot of time with your pet. When I am taking care of someone's pet, I treat them as if they were my own. I know that keeping their routine helps to minimize any stress of their owner being away.

About: Hi, my name is Josh. I have always had dogs growing up and love all their different personalities. I believe a dog needs time outside to be happy and healthy and I am excited for the opportunity to give that to some deserving puppers! I have engaged with dogs of all different sizes and breeds. I love going on walks and playing. I also love hiking and would be more than happy to take a dog to a trail if the owner permits. I also am available to house sit or do house calls if needed. I am confident that your dog will be in great hands with me. Thanks!

“Annie goes above and beyond with pictures, communications, and loving on our pets. Our cat and dog love having her and so do we!”

About: I have had pets my entire life. Some of the pets I have had included dogs, cats, bunnies, lizards, fish and more! I have had a lot of experience taking care of my family members and friends pets. I have also learned a lot of skills from a trained dog care professional. I am at home almost all of the time so I can spend plenty of time with any pets that I am watching, I can watch pets any day of the week and will take dogs on daily walks. I have a fenced back yard so dogs can spend plenty of time in the sun. I also will take dogs on daily walks and play with them plenty. I can also watch cats in clients homes and will be sure to give them lots of attention and play time to keep them company.

“I cannot find the words to express how grateful we are for Lydia’s presence while we were out of town! Our initial caregiver fell through and Lydia jumped through so many hoops to get our cat the care she needed on such short notice with minimal help from us. She’s very attentive to pets’ behavior and eating habits, and you can rest easy knowing your pet will be well cared for. I am so glad our Scout had Lydia to care for her and keep her company while we were away. She truly saved us all this week! We’ll definitely look to Lydia when we need care for our cat going forward. Thanks, Lydia!”

About: I'm a lifelong dog lover with hands-on experience caring for my own two dogs, which has taught me the importance of patience, consistency, and understanding each dog's unique personality. With my second dog especially, I took an active role in training and behavior development, learning how to use positive reinforcement and establish routines that help dogs feel secure and happy. I regularly help friends by providing midday potty breaks and companionship for their dogs when they're at work or traveling. This has given me experience with different breeds, temperaments, and household routines. I understand how important it is to follow each pet's specific schedule, respect house rules, and provide the attention and exercise they're used to. I know that every dog is different - some need lots of playtime and stimulation, while others prefer quiet companionship. I'm comfortable with basic commands, can recognize signs of stress or discomfort, and always prioritize the pet's safety and well-being above all else. I currently work part-time, which gives me excellent flexibility for pet care services. I'm available every weekday after 3pm and have full availability on weekends. This schedule works perfectly for dog walks, evening pet visits, and weekend pet sitting when families are traveling. My part-time work arrangement means I can be consistent and reliable with your pet's routine. Whether you need daily walks, midday check-ins, or weekend care, I can accommodate regular schedules and provide the consistency that pets thrive on. I'm also available for last-minute requests when my schedule allows. I understand that pets need care even when their families are working full days, and my afternoon and weekend availability is ideal for busy pet parents who want to ensure their furry family members get attention and exercise while they're away. During pet check-ins, I focus on making sure each animal gets the individual attention and care they need. I always let dogs spend as much time outside as they want - whether that's a quick potty break or a longer play session in the yard. I pay attention to their energy level and preferences that day. I believe quality time is just as important as meeting basic needs, so I make sure to engage with each pet through play, cuddles, or simply keeping them company. For more active dogs, I'm happy to take them on short walks during my visit to give them extra exercise and mental stimulation. I follow the specific instructions and routines that pet parents provide, but I also adapt to what the pet seems to need in the moment. Some days they might want to play fetch, other days they just want someone to sit with them. I always make sure they have fresh water, food if needed, and that they seem comfortable and content before I leave. I provide updates to pet parents so they know how their furry family member is doing, including any highlights from our time together.

“Vanessa has been amazing for my pup! He is very wary of strangers and they have formed a great relationship quickly due to Vanessa’s patience with him and respecting his boundaries. He loves when she stops by to play with him and let him out! I would highly recommend Vanessa for your Rover needs!”

About: I am a student at OSU. I am majoring in animal science. I am a pre-vet student with a focus in animal behavior. I also volunteer at the animal shelter frequently and have received training in animal handling and dog-walking. I am a student with a flexible schedule and am free weekends and weekdays depending on the time. I am always free in the evenings. Just let me know! I am a detail oriented person. I understand that meeting a stranger is stressful for pets. I always make sure to give the pet their own space and follow the pet care instructions.

About: I have had dogs of my own and have about 4 years of pet sitting experience. I have cared for dogs of all sizes, from small dogs to larger breeds, and I love getting to know each pet’s personality. I have experience with puppies, senior pets, anxious pets, bathing, long walks, feeding, playtime, and daily care routines. I also love cats and have a lot of personal experience with them, including caring for my 3 cats at home and 1 cat back home with my parents. What sets me apart is that I have a calm and patient energy, but I also know how to keep pets engaged, active, and happy.

Pet care fits into my routine depending on the type of service you are looking for, so feel free to message me and we can chat about what works best. I am very flexible this summer, I offer drop in visits and dog walks, and I am happy to talk through your pet’s routine, personality, and care needs before booking. I try to be flexible when I can, and I will always communicate clearly about my availability. My goal is to make sure your pet gets reliable care, attention, and plenty of love while you are away. I provide care in the client’s home or neighborhood, which helps pets stay comfortable in their normal space and routine. I carefully follow each pet parent’s instructions for feeding, walks, playtime, bathing, and general care. I pay close attention to each pet’s behavior, body language, and comfort level so I can adjust my care to what they need. I want every pet to feel safe, respected, and loved, and I want pet parents to feel confident knowing their pet is being cared for with patience, attention, and kindness.
