House Sitting Rubidoux

“Rhys clearly loved Angelee. She took great care of him and sent us humorous pictures every day. Our older dog had died a few days before or trip, and Angellee helped Rhys with his mourning. We will definitely utilize her services again.”

“Tanja exceeded expectations from the beginning. She was thorough and professional during our first messages in the Rover App. And when we set up an introduction our pups immediately gravitated towards her as an obvious dog lover. She provided photo and text updates constantly showing strong commitment and love for our little fur babies. She is a great communicator and had very prompt responses. We will definitely be asking for Tanja again if she is available for our next trip!”

About: I’ve been a dog owner for the past 6 years, so I understand how important it is to make sure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Over the years, I’ve gained hands-on experience with feeding, walking, playing, and taking care of my dog’s everyday needs. I’m a responsible, outgoing, and active person who genuinely enjoys spending time with dogs. Whether it’s going on walks, playing outside, or just keeping them company, I always make sure they get plenty of attention and care. I understand that every dog has its own personality and routine, and I’m happy to adjust to their specific needs. My goal is to make sure your dog feels right at home while giving you peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands! I’m currently a student at UC Riverside, where I’m involved in clubs, intramural sports, and other campus activities. Although I stay involved with school, my classes are primarily in the mornings, which gives me plenty of flexibility throughout the rest of the day to care for pets. I’m able to work around my class schedule to provide dog walks, feeding, playtime, and house sitting. I can also go back and forth between campus and your home to make sure your dog is fed, checked on, and given the attention they need. I enjoy staying active and spending time with dogs, and I’m committed to making sure your pets are well cared for while you’re away! When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well taken care of. Having my own dog for the past 7 years has taught me how important it is to follow a pet’s daily routine, whether that’s feeding, walking, playing, or just giving them attention and company. I understand that every dog has different needs and personalities, so I’m happy to follow any specific instructions from their owner. I also make sure to keep the home clean and organized, respect the owner’s space, and provide updates so they know their pet is doing well. My goal is to make sure your dog feels loved and comfortable while you’re away!

“Marlena was an absolute treasure. Our Blue Heeler was a challenge but Marlena did a great job with her. If you’re looking at reviews to decide whether to hire Marlena, just do it. Consistent communication and pictures. A pleasure to work with Marlena!”

About: Hello 👋 I’m Brittany — a professional pet sitter and dog walker originally from New York with a huge love for animals. I have veterinary assistant training, dog training assistant experience, and I’ve volunteered at numerous animal shelters throughout my life. Beyond my professional experience, I’ve been around animals my entire life. I grew up spending time on my grandparents’ horse farm in upstate New York, helping care for the horses and other animals. Over the years, I’ve personally owned and cared for a wide variety of pets, from dogs and cats to small animals, birds, reptiles, and farm animals. Dogs and horses have always held a special place in my heart. As a mom to a teenager and 5 fur babies of my own, I know pets are family. I treat every animal like my own and make sure they feel safe, loved, and cared for. 🐾 I have a flexible schedule during the week. I’m only unavailable from 7:30–9:00 AM and 2:30–4:00 PM on weekdays for my daughter’s school drop-off and pick-up. I come prepared for every visit with my own utility belt stocked with all-natural treats and waste bags, plus my own leash, ice-cold water, and a travel water bowl. I also bring a tennis ball for playtime, a brush for pups who enjoy it, and paw balm when needed. 🐾 You’ll usually see me arrive for visits by e-bike 🚲, but I use my car if weather conditions call for it. I’m also comfortable caring for large, strong, and high-energy dogs.

About: As a registered veterinary technician (nurse) I have the background and education to give you the peace of mind that your fur babies are well cared for. I have experience caring for all animals from pocket pets to livestock and everything in between! I am also fear free certified so I know the signs of stress and how to help your pets feel the most comfortable. I just graduated from college so I am completely available for all your pets needs. If you need a one time visit or a regular schedule I am here. I will bring all my expertise into their own home, keeping their routine consistent. I love to play, cuddle, or sit on opposite sides of the house whatever they prefer.

About: Consider me a house sitter as well!! I have taken on additional responsibilities such as collecting mail, dusting, sweeping,watering plants, yard, moving vehicles. Your wish is my command. I currently work from home. I work for the County of San Bernardino so I went thru background and fingerprint for my current role. That also helps you feel comfortable watching your pet. I also know how stressful it can be to leave your pup while on vacation. I will send photos throughout your vacation. I’m comfortable administering medication and caring for animals with special needs.

“Wonderful!!! Kids were happy and not stressed when I got home. Can't give enough stars for having someone reliable watching my pets. It's peace of mind!”

“Nicholas was absolutely incredible and took amazing care of our dogs and cats. Would highly recommend him and will be using his services again!”

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is that, I have an infinite amount of patience with pets, I often come off overly professional as far as training within the skills I have, lastly, why dog, puppy, cat, or kitten doesn’t need more love in their life? I don’t have any schedule restrictions. I have an entirely open schedule so feel free to book whenever you need. Home most of the time. How I care for pets in my clients home is making sure some type of physical activity occurs to ensure excellent physical health, as well as proper meal times (meal preps). Letting the clients pet do at least something that they find joy in (of course, something safe and harmless).

“Thank you again!!”

About: I’ve fostered dogs, senior dogs, cats, and kittens, and I have a dog of my own who means the world to me. 🐾 I treat every pet like my own with lots of love, patience, attention, and care. I’m comfortable with different personalities and needs, and my goal is always to make your pet feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away ⭐ I recently graduated from college and am taking a gap year, so I have lots of free time and a pretty flexible schedule. I love having pets as part of my day and genuinely enjoy spending time with them, whether that’s going for walks, playing, or simply keeping them company. I have a fenced yard where pets can safely enjoy some fresh air and playtime, and I live close to a dog park for extra walks and adventures. I also have a friendly dog who loves having furry friends around. I always make sure each pet’s personality, routine, and comfort level come first, so they feel safe, happy, and cared for while they’re with me.

“Brooke took great care of Zumi I’m grateful for her coming to sit with him while I was out. She sent photo updates throughout the day. I will book again.”

About: I grew up with having dogs in my house. At one point we had two at once! I was expected to take care of them so I learned the foundations from my family. I am use to bigger dogs such as golden retrievers but I also enjoy more medium sized dogs as well. I have experience being trusted with caring for pets of my family, my friends, and strangers. I feel confident in my ability to watch dogs of any breed, and I am also confident of my ability to be a patient and caring cat caretaker. While I did not grow up with cats, I have had multiple experiences taking care and providing a loving environment for them. I am pretty go with the flow, flexible, and eager to hang out with your pets! I am a graduate student that will have classes during the evening, but I would love to fill my day with animals! I am willing to be flexible in providing care and I am looking forward to helping out! With my experience I understand that being a caring and attentive caregiver is important for pets. They are almost always unconditionally loving and I mirror that in my care. I am not afraid to ask questions on how to provide your pet the best care. I understand that every pet is unique and I want to ensure their comfort and safety. I am very communicative as well! I love to send updates and pics over text!

About: I’ve had animals my entire life, so I have gained quite a bit of experience taking care of them and picking up after them. I absolutely love animals with all my heart, and have cared for all sorts of them: cats, dogs, turtles, fish, birds, you name it! I am extremely responsible and have the patience and love to fulfill all of your pet’s needs! I feed my dog and cats every day. I pick up after them in the yard every couple weeks. I walk my dog occasionally, but play with him every day. I pet and play with my cats all the time! In my client’s home, I follow all instructions and timelines. I show love and care to each and every animal. I clean up after the animals when needed. Whatever you request, I will do! And more!

“Stella was so wonderful. Communicative, remembered all the tiny things I told her about my pup, and so nice. Appreciate her taking such great care of Como. I can now travel and not worry! Thank you Stella!”
