Pet Sitting Riverside Rancho

About: I’ve always had pets of my own and have been caring for animals for family, friends, and neighbors for as long as I can remember. I’m experienced with kittens, adult pets, and senior or medically complex animals, including providing around-the-clock hospice care for my own beloved cat after his ataxia diagnosis. I currently share my home with Leon, my one-year-old cat, and Chicken, my 26+ year-old African Grey parrot—both rescues (Chicken was found abandoned and taken in) and very loved. I love caring for pets—cats, dogs, and birds of all types and sizes—and I’m happy to welcome other small animals too, just let me know! I treat every pet with patience, attention, and affection, and I’m happy to provide updates and photos for peace of mind. I work from home and my schedule is flexible. My goal is always to schedule any services based on the needs of you and your pet(s). I will always follow any instructions on how you prefer your pet to be cared for. Otherwise, I will always care for them in the safest and healthiest way available. The same way I care for my own pets. Leon is an indoor kitty with unlimited access to fresh air and sunshine from his lounging cots attached to our large windows. He loves his wet food, and his meals are on a “flexible” schedule, and no all day grazing. He receives lots of playtime with his humans and more independently. Of course, he gets brushed, not always with a happy purr, but he gets as much as he will tolerate.

“Bertha did an amazing job taking care of my puppy, Ammi! She was reliable, kind, and kept me updated with photos and messages. Ammi looked so happy and well cared for when I got back. I highly recommend her and would definitely book again!”

“Katharine has been a great Rover w my dog. She got her to eat even tho my dog is very picky to eat when we are not home so that to me means a lot and tells me my dog felt safe and secure with her in their visits. I will definitely book her again.”

“Shay is absolutely wonderful. This was our first time having someone watch our cats while we were away and my mind was immediately put at ease when Shay arrived for the meet and greet. After we introduced ourselves she excitedly asked “where are the kitties?!” She demonstrated the same enthusiasm and care during her visits, and her report cards were thorough and informative. One of our cats has diabetes and requires two insulin shots per day, and Shay’s feline medical experience made her the perfect choice. I can’t say enough good things about her. Thank you, Shay!”

“Thank you Tasha for your thoughtful care of our sweet kitty boys. It's rare when I hear back from sitters that they were able to connect with them, given their wandering nature by heart.. your calm and sweet presence was definitely felt. We look forward to rebooking when needed. Thank you infinitely!!”

“Ginneh was amazing again with my 2 cats! They love her energy and they are very happy when she is around. We don’t have to worry about our babies while away because we know Ginneh is taking care of everything! She sends us detailed check-ins and tons of photos. She does a detailed cleaning in their litter and bowls. Thank you again Ginneh!!!”

“Jacquie was wonderful!! Very communicative, and such a big help. My cat immediately was comfortable with her and it seemed like they had a good time together! Will be rebooking and highly recommend her with any furry friend.”

About: When I was younger, I often looked after my neighbors’ dogs, and my grandmother also had dogs. I’ve always loved spending time with animals — walking, playing, or just keeping them company. I’m calm, patient, and truly enjoy caring for pets like they’re part of the family. If you need to go somewhere, I can take care of your pet at your home or at mine. I’m flexible — I can visit in the evenings or walk your pet when you’re busy. If you’re worried about your pet, I can send you photos and videos and stay in touch at all times. I speak a little English, and I’m fluent in Ukrainian, Russian, and Polish. I always do my best to create a calm, safe, and loving environment for your pet.

“Madeline is so lovely! She is kind, prompt, and responsible, and our dachshund absolutely loves her. She sends thoughtful notes and photographs, and it’s a joy to work with her. We will definitely be reaching out to her again and can’t wait to work with her in the future :)”

About: Hello, my name is Jacinta & I have loved animals my entire life. Yes, I know, everyone says that, but my dads favorite story to tell anyone willing to listen is that when I was about 4/5 years old, I would constantly bug him and ask if we could get a dog. So to get me to stop asking, he told me sure, we could get a dog when I turn 10. Sure enough, when I turned 10, the first thing I asked was where my dog was. Shocked I still remembered he quickly came up with something else to distract me😅 We finally got our first family dog when I was a freshman in high school, then another when I was a sophomore. A spunky little chihuahua terrier, and a loving husky malamute mix. Later on my sister got a dog of her own, an incredibly smart red heeler who I babysat whenever possible. So I am extremely well versed in dogs big, small, and medium! My very first part time job was working at Petsmart in the doggie day care where I spent all day taking care of dogs of all sizes, ages, and temperaments. Throughout college I would watch my roommates maltipoo while she went home for breaks. I would house/dog sit my friends pit-bull mix over the weekends whenever he was out of town. My senior year in college I even fostered a friend’s cat for almost a year! I am the first call when someone in my family is looking for someone to dog sit. I still occasionally house sit my cousins two American Eskimos or take them on walks whenever needed. My fiancé and I just got engaged and we are trying to save up some money for all the incoming expenses so what better way than to spend it with the things I love most! (Second to him😅) I work full time but am available week days after 4pm and most weekends! I am open to house sitting, drop ins, walks, or any of your babies needs! I would love to come play with your pets or come say hi, so please don’t hesitate to reach out! I am open to any and all suggestions and requests for care! I work full time but am available week days after 4pm and most weekends! I am open to house sitting, drop ins, walks, or any of your babies needs! I’ve had ample experience house sitting pets and will treat your home as if it were my own. My main objective is to make sure your fur baby feels safe and comfortable.

“Niki was absolutely wonderful with my pups! She gave me such peace of mind by sending photos and detailed updates throughout the visit. Both Ashford and Shiloh were well cared for—she made sure they got their potty breaks, playtime, and even sunbathing time. She took the extra step of crumbling treats into their food and giving them cuddles, which shows how attentive and thoughtful she is. I came home to two happy, relaxed dogs, and I could tell they were in great hands. Highly recommend Niki for anyone looking for a reliable, caring sitter!”

About: I was the go to pet sitter in my old neighborhood and loved every second! Now that I moved to the big city I want to get back into it. I have experience with dogs of all breeds and sizes. I also used to compete in dog agility competitions so I know a decent amount about training/ handling. I also have experience with Cats, horses, sheep, goats, rodents, and cows! I truly enjoy the opportunity to care for all types of animals and I'm very patient. I have a gentle approach but a tough will. I currently do gig work for film and part time teaching of after school arts programs so I'm very free most of the time :) I am very true to your care guide! However you like your pet cared for that's what I'll do. On top of that, I like to spend time with the animal as much as I can both for their benefit and mine. I give lots of affection and if allowed, treats!

“This was our second cat sitting booking with Mindy and we would definitely rebook again! Mindy was easy to communicate with and provide plenty of updates throughout the checkin. I felt very comfortable having my cat in Mindy’s care.”
