Pet Sitting Riverside

About: I’ve taken care of cats and dogs my whole life. I have a husky of 6 years that is practically a cat in a dog’s body. I personally get very anxious when leaving my furry friends for trips, so I know how important it is to send pictures and updates of how your fur baby is doing. 9 times out of 10 I am the person in the corner playing with the dog at social events, so I will make sure your pets are well entertained and having a good time! I am a newly licensed Cosmetologist and am currently attending Mesa Community College to get my Associates degree in Beauty & Wellness. My classes are online, so I have a very flexible schedule. Right now I am only taking house sitting requests for long weekends for ex Fri-Mon. Besides that I am open for everything else. I have a husky that has severe separation anxiety, so I will make sure that your pets are calm, safe, & sound even if that means sitting on the floor with them for hours. When taking care of multiple pets at once, I am very aware of my surroundings and making sure that everyone is getting along and having fun.

About: I've been hosting dogs & cats through Rover.com for several years now, and it's been a tremendously rewarding experience. While I’ve had dogs and cats my entire life, I have only 2 cats right now. They both like dogs, especially my leash-trained therapy cat who likes everybody. The cats are never aggressive, but a very high-energy impolite dog could get a left-hook if they're not careful. Calmer dogs used to cats are a great fit. Take your next vacation with peace of mind; knowing your pooch is safe, happy, and getting plenty of attention and playtime! I have yet to have a guest that didn’t bond to me almost immediately…it’s like they can sense that I am an easy source of belly rubs and treats! While I have plenty of amateur training experience with dogs and cats, I am in the process of earning a "Good Pup" training certification through Rover, so for a limited time am offering some basic obedience training with boarding or daycare. Please don’t hesitate to contact me with any questions you might have about my home, experience, or schedule. I work from my home office during the week, and extra canine/feline company is always welcomed. I have a small fenced-in yard for potty breaks whenever the need arises. There's usually no problem accommodating specific daily feeding/walk schedules with some advance notice. Your furry children will be very comfortable in my North Tempe town-home, where I live alone in a conveniently located 'dog-friendly' neighborhood near Papago Park. Many of my guests drop off and pick up on the way to/from Sky Harbor Airport, which is about 15 minutes away (about 5.5 miles). I'm within walking distance of the local dog park, if that's something you & your dog are comfortable with.

“Thank you for taking excellent care of Rick - and for managing the details (food dispenser/water fountain level/litter box) - greatly appreciated - will book with you again soon”

About: I’ve had dogs and taken care of them since before I can remember! This includes watching my neighbors’ dogs, as well as my relatives. I’m currently a college student, which gives me a flexible schedule for pet care. I’m available most weekday evenings and am also available most weekends. I provide attentive, reliable care in your pet’s own home where they feel most comfortable. I follow your routine for feeding, walks, playtime, medication if needed, and lots of affection. I keep your home tidy, send regular updates, and make sure your pet feels safe, relaxed, and well cared for while you’re away.

About: I grew up with a brindle boxer who was truly part of my family, and losing her a couple years ago was one of the hardest things I’ve gone through. Since then, I’ve been fostering dogs through the Humane Society, everything from shy rescues to energetic puppies. Ive fostered dogs that had kennel cough to dogs that needed to gain weight after being rescued from horrible conditions. Fostering taught me how to handle different personalities, build trust with nervous dogs, and give each pet the patience and love they need. Caring for dogs has always been a big part of my life, and I bring that same level of attention and compassion to every pet I watch. Pet care fits perfectly into my weekly routine. I’m available most days and fully flexible, I'm pursuing a degree and have class Tuesday and Thursday from 9am–12pm, but I’m available the rest of the day and all other days of the week. This gives me a very flexible schedule for walks, drop‑ins, and house sitting. I plan my day around pet care, so your dog always gets consistent attention, timely visits, and plenty of love. Your pet’s safety is always my top priority. I follow all instructions exactly, keep doors and gates securely closed, and make sure your dog is never put in an unsafe situation. I’m calm, patient, and experienced with foster dogs, so I know how to handle different personalities and energy levels. I always double‑check leashes, harnesses, and feeding routines, and I keep a close eye on your pet during every visit. My goal is to make your dog feel safe, comfortable, and cared for at all times.

“Ava was great in stopping in to check on our dogs while we were away for extended hours. I appreciate her providing some pictures and comments on Cooper and Bailey. I would highly recommend”

“Adrienne is amazing! She goes above and beyond for my dog. My dog is always excited to see her! Adrienne is very responsive and reliable; she communicates well and gives a lot of detail. I definitely recommend her!”

“Ainsley stepped in last minute to take care of my cat/ kittens. She’s wonderful. She was on time, gave me updates and did everything that was asked of her. She’s super nice too!”

About: I have had dogs my whole 23 years of life and I have farm animals for the past 13 years consistent of cows and chickens. I’m currently in graduate school for physical therapy during the weekdays but have the weekends off and all nights off to care for your furry friends! I can do the basic care like feeding, walking, letting them outside, keeping them company as well as other specific request for your animals. I have always had dogs and farm animals that I’ve had to take care of in these ways so I have plenty of experience and confidence in caring for your fury friends.

About: Retired teacher and lifelong dog lover. I regularly care for dogs of all sizes including an 80lb Golden! Experience with a range of breeds and temperaments. Comfortable and experienced with medication and senior dog care. I am retired so I am available all the time to give some love to your beautiful babies! I am an early rise and very prompt, so comfortable with morning walks. I am very detail oriented and will ensure your loved animals will feel like they are being taken care of by their own parent. If your dog stays with me they will get miles of beautiful walks along the lake and lots of dog park time!

About: Growing up my favorite summer job was always taking care of pets for my family and neighbors. Now that I’m in college and not surrounded by my usual animal community I miss it! I have special experience with senior and disabled pets from blindness and hearing issues. I have also lots of experiences in getting along with rowdy and energetic dog breeds as well. All it takes is a little extra love! I have a light class schedule this semester and am available every day except Tuesday and Thursday. I am super flexible thought the day and am an early bird. I can feed, walk, or just keep company to any pet depending on their needs. I am flexible to any temperament and understand that pets just need a little extra help when their owners aren’t there

“Kristi was great with our 2 cats, who can be shy or difficult. She was very kind and attentive with them and I wouldn’t hesitate to book her again. She also took great photos of the pets, which made them seem less far away.”

About: Hi there! I'm Selina, a young professional who has 20 years of experience in caring for pets. Be it dogs, cats, birds, bunnies, hamsters - my family always made sure to keep me busy. :) I'm an artist and have a professional camera, so if you give me your okay, I might send your pet home with some cute new pictures or a painting of them (for free of course!!) if I have the time! I have experience handling dogs of all sizes. I love and can handle any size your furbaby comes in, be it a Cane Corso or a Chihuahua. 🐾 My family also has extensive history caring for cats for years and years. I've cared for them all - the feisty introverts who prefer to be left alone, as well as the snuggly lovebugs who need cuddles every few minutes. Let me know about their personalities so I can best meet their needs! 🐈‍⬛️ Your family members will be loved on and treated as family members of my own while they're in my care. I live in an apartment, but have a private huge gated dog park within my complex, as well as access to really pretty walk areas nearby. Right down the street we have a pretty pond where my own dog and I like to go watch the fish and turtles while having a picnic. :) If your pet requires any additional care such as medicine or has special needs, that is no problem at all. I have experience handling reactive dogs as well. Just let me know what they need and I'll be able to provide! :) I work a hybrid schedule, meaning I typically work from home Monday and Friday. 💻 I can take boarding requests from Tuesday-Thursday if your pet is okay with being left alone for a few hours. I have a fenced dog park in my complex so your pup and I can have safe play time! I have a dog of my own who LOVES other dogs. If you need me to separate your dog from mine for your comfort, that is entirely possible as I have a spare room to use. My dog is currently in a training program though, so she's not home at the moment.

“Estefany was great! We have a shy boy cat and after a few days he warmed up to her! She left great updates and pictures and I would 100% book with her again”

“Danielle did a great job with Fiona. When I returned home it was like I never left! She was happy and well cared for and it showed. Highly recommend. Marion”

“Desiree clearly cares very deeply for her clients. Layla adores her and I feel secure knowing Desiree has everything under control and Layla will be safe and happy in her care. Thank you so very much!”

“Kaylie was the perfect last minute help for my kitties. I lost my regular pet sitter and had to find someone last minute for the holidays. She was prompt and responsive, more than any other sitter I contacted! She is professional and thorough with all the instructions I gave her, as disorganized as I was! She took all the worry out of leaving town with a stranger caring for my babies and my home. She took tons of photos and left detailed notes on her visits. She will be on my Rolodex of pet sitters.”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was 5 years old, and animals have been a huge part of my life ever since. I grew up with two German Shepherds that I walked and cared for daily, and I’ve continued pet sitting for family friends’ dogs and cats over the years. I’ve also fostered several dogs until they found their forever homes. Right now, I have four dogs of my own, so I’m very comfortable with all personalities, sizes, and energy levels. Your pet will be treated like family with me! I am currently a student at ASU and my schedule is completely open and can watch your pet or take it on walks whenever! Im on summer break so my schedules free! I can play with your pet and give them all the attention and care they need! I love animals and will bring water / bags if we go on walks, and if I pet sit and I will take good care of your animals!

“Avery goes above and beyond and the cats LOVE her. She’s super understanding and competent, if you need someone to watch your fur babies I would pick her!”

“Melvina is wonderful! She is warm and friendly with my 2 dogs, handles their special senior-dog needs well, and offered to come back over when I got home late. The dogs and I love having her here!”
