Cat Sitting Rubidoux

“I couldn't have asked for a better sitter than Quetzaly to take care of my cat, Mars. From the start, she was incredibly warm, professional, and attentive. She went above and beyond by sending me thoughtful updates, photos, and little notes that helped me feel completely at ease while I was away. It was clear that Mars felt comfortable and cared for! Thank you again, Quetzaly! 🐾”

About: I was raised in a home caring for many animals including dogs, rabbits, toads, and a tortoise. During college and the year after, part of my job was looking after farm animals: horses, donkeys, goats, sheep, alpacas, chickens, ducks, pigs, and a steer. I’ve worked and volunteered extensively with cats and dogs of all age ranges and sizes even administering treatments and medications when needed. In the past decade in addition to house sitting and dog walking I have worked at PetSmart as well as an animal shelter and currently volunteer my time on the dog behavior support team at Mary S. Roberts Pet Adoption Center. I do overnight emergency fostering for bottle baby puppies and kittens and take shelter dogs out on field trips for the day when I can too. I believe all creatures deserve the best care possible and am lucky to have met so many amazing animals over the years. Pets really are the best part of the family! I am currently between jobs so I have almost fully open availability to give all my time and attention to your beloved dogs and cats! My goal is to gain the trust of every pet so I can provide the necessary enrichment and comfort for each animal to meet their individual needs during my time with them. I will treat every pet with love as if they were my own while following any house rules and maintaining the current schedule and any boundaries as instructed by the pet parent.

“Marlena was a great cat sitter! She was very attentive and sent me great pictures of Nutmeg every day while she was cat-sitting! I highly recommend her, and will definitely hire her again the next time I go out of town!”

About: Hi, I’m Afton! I provide one-on-one care by accepting only one family’s pets at a time! I have a very quiet home, which is perfect for new guests. I have found that hosting one family’s pets at a time leaves me with more time to spoil and help your pets settle in. I love gaining new experience in pet care, I have watched newborn puppies, kittens, and even ducks! I have a senior pug, he has been with me since I started kindergarten. I absolutely adore senior dogs due to my experience with him, they hold a special place in my heart. My background also includes time at the Riverside Animal Shelter, where I trained dogs and made sure they were well-socialized, and ready to be adopted. Along with this, I have also volunteered at the Hidden Valley Nature Center! Mainly taking care of the animals and helping to maintain their habitats. I am a college student, working towards a masters degree. Working for Rover allows me to go to school and at the same time work from home. My neighborhood is very hilly if dogs need to let out energy. Regular bathroom breaks and additional walks are always part of our routine to keep them active and content. My goal is to make sure each dog feels loved, safe, and well cared for. I will provide a lot of enrichment activities to keep them occupied, puzzle toys are always a favorite.

“Elizabeth was so kind and took such good care of my baby. Will definitely use her services in the future!”

About: I'm taking care of my roommate‘s dog （Fey） for several yrs，feeding and playing with him is my everyday favourite thing. I have experience of feeding medicine. I am currently taking a gap year，so I can do pet sitter anytime （from 9 am to 7 pm every day，seven days a week，include holidays）. Pets in my home are all indoor pets，I prepare fresh water and food everyday，clean the bowls twice a day to make sure they can have clean food or water. And I take Fey （my roommate‘s dog）for walk three times a day. One of my Cat loves play with straws，I play with him everyday to make him happy. Another cat loves to stay alone，so I understand that and let her has a quiet place.

“Britney has been great! She is friendly, reliable, and a pleasure to have for our little guy! Our dog Nacho just loves her! She comes ready to play with him and give him the attention he needs. She comes midday when my husband and I are at work to give him a potty and play break from his kennel! We plan to continue to use her as needed!”

About: I have been taking care of pets since I was little and I currently have 2 cats that I have been caring for the past 8 years now and a puppy that belongs to my sister that I look after a lot to help her out sometimes when she’s working and so I think that I’m definitely a great person to rely on for these kinds of things. I’m currently working part time as I am a third year college student who’s major is fine and applied arts and goes to school currently but can take care of your pets anytime of the day all week including weekends and holidays. I care for them by having a feeding schedule for them, cleaning up after them, bathing them, taking them on walks and just playing with them through out the day.

“very easy to communicate, sent pics and was super sweet! would def use sarah again!”

About: I deal with cats, but I love dogs too. Check out my rescue page to see my rescue work! Insta/tiktok: grillstnr I’m mostly active on Insta. I want to take your furbabies on hikes, so I have a companion and your baby gets winded out by the end of it. It’s a win-win! I also have a personal TikTok where you can see my solo-quests and feel more secure with me taking your child out for a longer period of time. I tend to go hiking on the weekends and I go solo. I also like taking long walks to get my steps in. Every day of my cats before I start my day and make they are fed before me. have 19 cats I’m caring for. I would love to have my own dog (I had 2 that passed away 8 years ago) but unfortunately, I don’t have the environment for them to be in with all my cats. When I used to have dogs I would carry a portable water bowl, doggy bags, and treats.

About: I have a very deep love and passion for all creatures! I genuinely treat everyone's pets as though they were my very own. As an animal lover, I have had many types of pets throughout my lifetime including my beloved goldfish, parakeets, rabbits, and cats. As a highly sensitive, caring, and attuned individual, I am very in touch with an animal's needs, comfort, and emotions. My passion and genuine desire to love and care for all animals are why I believe I make for the perfect pet sitter :) I am also very detail-oriented, patient, and responsible. I understand just how stressful it can be for both the owner and and the pet to be apart for extended periods of time, and it brings me great joy to be able to care for animals when their favorite person is away. In addition to caring for my own pets for decades, I have also cared for the cats and dogs of friends and acquaintances. Please rest assured that your pet will be left in the hands of someone who will treat your pet as though it is my own. I am happy to answer any questions you may have to ease any of your anxieties or concerns. I have a very open schedule at this time and can accommodate most requests. I am available from 10am-9pm 7 days/week. I am generally pretty flexible. I can care for your pet in your own home and will do so according to your preferences. All pet care will be at the client's home :)

About: From larger dogs to lizards, guinea pigs, and cats, every animal best friend deserves to be treated like family. I have spent many years volunteering at shelters and animal rescues, dog walking, and pet sitting for family and friends. I understand firsthand what it takes to care for animals with specialized diets and daily medication needs. My own cats require a bit more as they enter their senior years, so i understand how much patience it can take. That said, I know how important it is to maintain a routine, especially when your animal best friend misses you. I work a full-time remote job for a wildlife conservation nonprofit, which gives me the flexibility to stay with your best friend all day if you're interested. I'm happy to go above and beyond for your best friend, whether you're taking on family responsibilities, taking that much-needed vacation, or just need someone to stop by while you're away for a long day. I can't wait to connect with you and meet your pet best friend. I work a full-time remote job with a wildlife conservation non-profit. That said, my daily schedule is fairly flexible and can even include staying with your pet during the workday to keep them company. Weekends are also fairly flexible, although I try to make the most of my time with family and friends. So, I likely won't be able to spend the entire day with your pet as I would be during the weekdays, but I will still spend quality time with them when requested, especially if requested far enough in advance that I can schedule it into my weekends and around family. I make environmental safety a priority. I follow all precautions and safety guidelines you requested and avoid anything that could create a hazard or unsafe situation for your pet. I am familiar with cat CPR and the steps to take if you find a cat choking. These precautions also include saving your vet's contact information and finding the nearest emergency vet to remain prepared for any situation. If you request outside time, I will do so only in a secure location to minimize the risk of your furry friend getting lost or injured. My youngest cat (7 years old), has a few hours of supervised time in our fenced yard every morning. She also wears an AirTag collar whenever we aren't home or if she's in our yard, in addition to supervision. I have extra AirTags I can attach to your best friend's collar (or I can bring an extra collar) for additional monitoring while you're away, if you are interested.

“Nicole was great with my cat! She was very communicative ahead of the visit and took extra time to ask about feeding habits and playtime. She sent many pictures each visit and a through description. I will definitely be rebooking with her!”
