About: Hello! I’m a home-based sitter in Lakeside offering loving, attentive care! I’ve been a cat and dog mom my entire life and a foster parent for dogs of all ages and sizes for over 5 years—from gentle giants to tiny pups. I’m passionate about daily walks, potty breaks, and providing love and care. If your dog needs medications, I’m experienced and comfortable administering them safely! Happy to do a meet & greet to make sure it’s a great fit for everyone! Best, Angelina Darling I’m a student learning from home so I have an extremely flexible schedule that allows me to give your pets consistent care, walks, and attention throughout the day! Whether I’m caring for pets at my home or yours, I will always provide walks, playtime, meals (and medication as needed) making sure your furry friends feel safe and loved!

I can't leave a review fast enough! Mariela just completed a round of drop in visits for our cat Dragonfly, and she was so professional and thorough. Mariela dedicated her visits making sure Dragonfly took her medicine, was fed, loved, kept cool with the ac turned on during the daytime high heat, and her litterbox clean. Mariela's check ins and pictures were comforting, and it was excellent to know that there was someone responsible taking care of our precious family member while we were away.

Kaitlyn saved the day! I reached out with 2 hours notice for a drop in for our foster pup that has severe separation anxiety. Kaitlyn responded promptly and arrived on time, putting my mind at ease. Thank you sooo much!

Amber was absolutely awesome. My 2 Dobermans felt so comfortable with her, she gave me updates every time she was there feeding/walking them, also sent updated pictures of them. We are so grateful and happy to finally found someone to care for our pups while we are away. 10 ⭐️

About: I have taken care of a wide veriaty of animals since I was very young! I personally have two dogs and a cat that I love, and I love taking care of my friends and family’s pets because I think every animal deserves the love and the care that they deserve. I’m a full time student but have the available days to take care of the pet’s daily needs and making sure they are doing good. Making sure the pet’s are safe whether they are inside or outside is a big priority to me, because when you put your trust in me you also put your trust in my care for your animal. Feeding and playing with them will definitely also be my highest priority next to their safety.

About: I’ve had about 13 dogs of different breeds in my lifetime. Every dog that I’ve had in my life still carry on in my heart. I was responsible for all of my dogs and made sure to attend to their needs in a safe manner. I’m able to work any day of the week as long as it’s 8-3pm. I’m just not available around 4-6, but I am able to care for them in my home if necessary. We have a screen door and our parking lot is gated, so there is no way for them to get through. There is also a park nearby that is great for walking.

About: I grew up with many pets and learned how to care for them exceptionally well. I understand giving them boundaries and having fun playing with them are both keys to great care. I enjoy walking and playing with dogs as I am a very active person who loves exploring as much as your dog does! When I started pet sitting about 15 years ago I found I had a gift for helping dogs and cats who have a hard time adjusting when their owners are away. I also specialize in senior care as I’m willing to do anything needed to help your dog or cat be comfortable, eat well, and feel loved. I interact with each one as the unique individual they are. Let me know all about your pet’s personality and special needs so I can be the closest thing to having you at home as possible. I’m currently in school a couple days a week and have flexible work which gives me plenty of time to play with your pups during the week and on weekends. I only care for pets at your home. I have reliable transportation and a flexible schedule to be there when needed. I can also do overnight house and pet sitting if needed.

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is not just my lifelong love for animals, but also my extensive experience in caring for them. Having grown up surrounded by pets, I have nurtured a deep understanding of their needs and behaviors. Neighbors, friends, and family have entrusted me with the responsibility of walking, feeding, and providing attentive care to their furry companions whenever they were away. With me, you can be confident that your furry friends will receive exceptional care and affection, ensuring their happiness and well-being while you're away. Pet care seamlessly integrates into my daily and weekly routine, offering flexible availability to cater to your furry companion's needs. Working from home provides me with the advantage of being able to attend to your dog's bathroom breaks and take them for short walks around the neighborhood. I'm also dedicated to providing quality interaction and entertainment for your pet during the day. For boarding services, I am typically available on weekends and on weekdays after 5 pm, ensuring that your pet receives exceptional care even during your busy schedule. When caring for pets in their own home, I focus on maintaining a safe, comfortable, and stress-free environment. I follow the pet’s established routines closely, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, and playtime, to ensure consistency and security. I provide plenty of attention, affection, and supervision while keeping their space clean, organized, and comfortable. Any special instructions from the owner, such as dietary needs, medication, or behavioral preferences, are followed carefully to give personalized and reliable care. My goal is to make both pets and owners feel confident that their furry family members are happy, safe, and well-cared for while they’re away.

About: I have been taking care of animals from small critters all the way to larger animals like horses for over 20 years. I am reliable and highly responsive. I will send photo updates, and make sure your pets are happy and well taken care of. I work part time outside of pet sitting and have a flexible schedule. This allows me to make sure your animals have the attention they need. I am able to care for your fur babies at your place, so they feel comfortable. This also minimizes stress instead of staying in a new environment

About: I am an animal lover of all kinds but dogs hold a special place in my heart. I am a mom of 3 boys and 2 fur babies. Goose is a Australian Heeler mix who is very smart, playful and always keeps me on my toes. Sadie is a Yellow Lab Mix who is the most gentle,sweet,and playful girl.Both of my pups were adopted from the shelter and if I could adopt more I would. Since I am limited to two caring for your animals helps to love all the animals without creating a small farm at home. I love walking, hiking, and being outdoors in our beautiful city. One fun fact about me is I have found and reunited at minimum 9 dogs in the past couple years. I seem to be a canine magnet. I hope to get a chance to meet your pet and see what kind of adventures we can have. I am have been a stay at home mom for 13 years and during that time I have volunteered at my children's schools. Now that they are older it has opened my schedule up during the week and some weekends. I have a fenced yard in a nice calm neighborhood that is built for safety. The dogs are welcome to hang out with the family but I am also comfortable kenneling.

Amber took excellent care of our senior cat. Rusty needs daily injections and Amber was able to give him this medication without any stress to him. I would recommend Amber without hesitation and will rebook in future.

This is the first time I used Rover. We were very last moment and Sabrina was awesome. I have 3 cats with one needing insulin twice daily. Everything went perfectly. She worked with us to time the medication and feeding schedule. She was able to get my 2 skittish kitties to play with her and not run and hide as they usually do. I would definitely recommend her and will try to rebook her in the future.
