Pet Sitting Rubidoux

“Quetzaly has been wonderful with our pets. She first sat for our cat, Gemini, and we felt like she took such great care of her that we never had to worry while we were away. Because of that great experience, we thought she would be a great sitter for our 5-month-old puppy, Sesame. My partner was out of town for the weekend and I was working nights that week, so we needed someone to watch Sesame, and Quetzaly was available on short notice. We’re so happy we booked with her—Sesame clearly had a great time! Quetzaly followed all of our instructions carefully and took great care of our girl. She kept us updated with pictures and the Rover card, which gave us a lot of peace of mind. We never had to worry about Sesame while we were away. We would absolutely love to have her sit for us again and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone to take great care of their fur babies.”

About: About Me Hi, I’m Marissa, owner of Shining Light’s K9 Services! I have extensive experience caring for dogs of all breeds, ages, and temperaments—including those with aggression, reactivity, or other behavioral challenges. Over the years, I’ve worked in multiple dog hotels/doggy daycares, in pet grooming, and as a freelance trainer, giving me a well-rounded understanding of canine care and behavior. I specialize in creating a safe, structured, and comfortable environment for every dog I work with. Whether your pet needs a calm walk, a high-energy run, targeted training, or simply loving companionship, I tailor my approach to their unique needs. Administering medications is never an issue, and I pride myself on excellent communication so you can feel at ease while you’re away. Your dog’s safety, happiness, and progress are always my top priorities. With me, your fur baby will be in experienced, loving, and capable hands. Pet care is my full-time job and passion. I run my own business, Shining Light’s K9 Services, from home, so caring for dogs is part of my daily routine from morning to night. I structure my day around feeding schedules, walks, playtime, training sessions, and any special care each pet needs. Because this is my full-time work, I have the flexibility to give your pet consistent attention, exercise, and companionship throughout the day. Your pet’s safety and comfort always come first. In my home, I offer multiple sleeping options so your dog feels at ease—whether that’s a cozy crate, a comfy dog bed in my living room, or even in my bedroom if that’s what they’re used to. I maintain a clean, secure environment, with constant supervision and safe spaces for rest or play. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow your instructions exactly to keep their routine consistent and stress-free. I make sure food, water, and medications are given on schedule, and I always take time for walks, play, and affection. Whether at my home or yours, my goal is to ensure your pet feels safe, happy, and loved while you’re away.

About: I already love your furbabies, we just haven't met yet! ❤️❤️❤️ Many people call me a "Dog Whisperer," and while I don’t claim the title, animals respond to my calm, intuitive presence. I bring emotional attunement, patience, and loving structure to every visit. Whether your baby is playful, shy, or needs extra TLC, I honor their unique personality. Pet sitting is more than a side gig; it’s a healing, heart-centered exchange. I offer sacred companion care that gives your pet peace and you peace of mind. I'm a Certified Self-Love Coach with a flexible schedule, which allows me to prioritize your pet’s care with presence and ease. I structure my day around the needs of the animals in my care. Whether it’s early mornings, midday walks, or calm overnight stays, I make space for them to feel safe, seen, and loved. While sitting, I read, reflect, or study, but their comfort always comes first. I care for pets in the comfort of their own home, where their routines, scents, and surroundings bring them calm. I ask detailed questions ahead of time (walk schedule, feeding preferences, medication, etc.) and follow your instructions to the letter. My care style is clean, respectful, and rooted in trust. I adapt to each animal's rhythm and always check in if something feels off. Your home is your sanctuary, and I treat it with the same care I give to your pet.

About: Pets are family, and I know that firsthand! I’ve been around dogs my entire life and couldn’t imagine it any other way. Growing up, we had two energetic and lovable miniature schnauzers, Shaggy and Betty, who brought so much joy to our home. After they passed, I adopted my sweet girl, Cali, two years ago. She’s my adventure buddy—we go on daily walks and runs, and she keeps me on my toes! I’m friendly, active, and caring, and I know how important it is to have someone trustworthy looking after your pets when you’re away. Whether it’s playtime, cuddles, or making sure they’re well taken care of, I’ll treat your fur babies as if they were my own. I can’t wait to meet you and your pets and give them all the love and attention they deserve! Since I work fully remote, I have the flexibility to incorporate pet care into my daily routine. My own dog, Cali, is a big part of my day—we go on morning and evening walks, and I take regular breaks to give her attention, play, or just check in. This setup allows me to provide consistent care, whether it’s feeding, walking, or just giving pets the love and attention they need. I can easily adjust my schedule to accommodate drop-ins, walks, or extended stays, ensuring your pets are well cared for while you’re away! Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or my client’s home, my priority is making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved. In my home, I provide a pet-friendly environment with plenty of playtime, walks, and cuddle sessions. I follow their usual routine as closely as possible to minimize stress. In a client’s home, I respect their space and their pet’s established routine. I make sure to follow all instructions regarding feeding, exercise, medications (if needed), and any special requests. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, or just providing companionship, I always ensure that pets receive the care and attention they deserve. My goal is to make them feel at ease while their owners are away!

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, 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 also work from home! I always enjoy having a pet by my side, as I like to stay busy throughout the day. I take walks in the mornings and evenings, I would love for your pet to come with me! 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.

With no kids to care for I’m able to give all my time and energy to providing the best care, playtime, and cuddles your pet deserves. I like to schedule a meet and greet before caring for your pets. This allows us to get to know each other, and it helps me understand your pet routine and preferences. Once we’re all set, I’ll come to your home to provide personalized care, whether it’s feeding, play time, or cuddles, ensuring your pet feels safe and loved while you’re away.

About: I have grown up with dogs, and have enjoyed taking care of friends and family members dogs of all ages. During college, I worked at a pet store that taught me the importance of daily exercise and mental stimulation for our furry friends’ well being! I am happy to care for pets young and old, and will always do my best to review all of your pet’s specified needs! I’m currently working in a flexible job with often changing hours, so I am able to pick up opportunities for a consistent routine or something temporary. I will look after your pet by ensuring all gates are closed, and doors are opened very carefully! I have experience watching some “escape artist” dogs, so ensuring dogs are safely in their home and the backyard is secured is a big priority for me.

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!

“Brooke was absolutely amazing–exactly what my family needed while we were away for a few hours horseback riding on our vacation (our dog River had to stay at our campsite unfortunately). Brooke came to our campsite and gave our nervous doodle good love and comfort. I can hardly say enough; we highly recommend Brooke. Thank you Brooke!”
