“Punctual! She sent lots of photos and took good care of my puppy.”

“Katie is the absolute best! She's patient with our gentle giant who is generally weary of strangers. She took several meet and greet sessions to make him feel comfortable and safe, despite his stubbornness and hesitancy. She's such a gem and won over the trust and love of both of our elderly dogs. They get so excited every time they see her. We're so lucky to have found her and wholeheartedly trust her with them!”

Pet care is a rewarding part of my daily routine. My flexible work schedule lets me reliably fit in drop-in visits and quality time with every pet I care for. When caring for pets in my clients’ homes, I focus on making them feel as comfortable as possible in their familiar environment. I provide fresh food and water, playtime, gentle attention, and clean up any messes. I always follow your specific instructions and send regular updates to keep you informed.

About: Hi, I'm Rylee! I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life, including dogs, cats, birds, and kittens. With over 10 years of experience caring for pets and more than 5 years of training and pet sitting for friends and neighbors. I’ve developed a deep understanding of animal care, especially when it comes to dogs. I specialize in dog behavior and body language, including recognizing signs of stress or overstimulation. I’ve trained puppies and have extensive experience with puppy sitting, helping them feel safe, stimulated, and supported as they grow. I’m passionate about giving pets the highest quality of care. I’ve completed multiple courses in dog training, body language, and nutrition to ensure I’m educated when it comes to caring for dogs. I prioritize dogs' well-being with mental and physical stimulation. In addition to dogs, I also have experience caring for cats and kittens. I have a 4-year-old cat and a 4-month-old kitten that I have raised since they were newborns. I provide a safe environment for your cat, and I understand that some cats need their space. Whether you need drop-in visits, overnight staying, or walking, you can be at ease that your pet will be in great, trustworthy hands. I am dedicated to making your pet feel safe, respected, and treated like family. I’m excited to meet your furry friend and provide the thoughtful, attentive care they deserve. My schedule is very flexible! I'm currently looking for a part-time job but in the meantime I have lots of time to care for your pets. In My Home: I will follow your pets same routine like walking and feeding but just in my own home. My house is fairly small so I won't be able to board more than one pet at a time. I have a deck that they can sit outside and sunbathe (with supervision). I will provide them with toys and puzzle games. I have a small dog named Rocky, at first he barks at other dogs but once he gets to know them he enjoys their company. I also have two cats that aren't fond of new visitors so I will keep them separated from your pets. In Your Home: I treat your space with the utmost respect and maintain your pet’s routine so they feel safe and at ease. I make sure doors and gates are securely closed, and I always clean up after feedings, potty breaks, and playtime. I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you feel confident while you’re away.

About: I offer patient, personalized care with experience in senior pet support, and shy or anxious animals. I treat every pet like family, with love, structure, and attention to detail. I am self-employed, and my schedule is open. I prefer to schedule walks from 7am. I live in Lake Arrowhead, and am open to Crestline to Running Springs. I treat them as members of my family. I believe that all animals should be treated with respect and recognized as individuals. Getting to know your dog is half of the fun for me!

“She did a great job matching Olive’s energy.”

About: Growing up in South Africa, going on safari was a significant part of my culture, and my love for animals has been ingrained in me from a young age. After the loss of my beloved 20-year-old cat, I found joy in walking and playing with a neighbor's Husky, helping to fill that void. Currently, I don't have any pets of my own, so your furry friend will be my top priority and cherished companion until you return. I moved to the mountains five years ago and work primarily from home, allowing me to provide plenty of attention and care. I am very hands-on, with a wealth of love to give, and I have a natural knack for connecting with animals. My cat used to snuggle with me every night, and I can't wait to welcome more little fur-balls into my life to cuddle. My standard nightly rate includes up to 2 pets. In addition to my passion for animals, I have completed a cat and dog CPR certification course through the Red Cross, ensuring that I am prepared for unexpected situations that may arise. I also hold my own liability insurance underwritten by Lloyds of London, separate from Rover's insurance, giving you peace of mind while your pet is in my care. Furthermore, I have successfully passed an enhanced background check by a third-party provider. Animals are my passion, and I feel incredibly grateful to live in the mountains, surrounded by all the beautiful wildlife. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family member/s! Pets need love, security and re-assurance when their human parents are on vacation. That is why I prefer to house sit. I can also just drop in for feedings and walks if you are more comfortable with that. I will treat your fur babies with love and respect and give them lots of play and cuddle time! Your wish is my command and I will follow any special instructions or routines you may have.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs for the past 7 years as well as fostering when I can. Your dogs will be treated like my own! Both neighbors & family members have offered me the chance to pet sit before anyone else because they knew their dogs were not only taken care of, but loved. There have been occasions when I could not pet sit & they moved around their vacation days just to have me over. They know my experience with dogs goes beyond my own & extends out to strays & for that reason, they trust in my ability to care & love for their animal friends. I’m very willing to bathe, give special care, run errands if necessary for the pet & tend to special instructions left to ensure the pets safety & well being. I take care of my three dogs on a daily basis from morning to night from feeding, timed medications, walks, backyard time & cuddles to their hearts content! It’s a must to understand all the rules & boundaries with pets & their owners. One of my own dogs has medications that cannot be missed & I have also watched after other dogs who have special dietary restrictions & have medications that need to be taken on time. In my experience, special care comes with frequent bathroom breaks, more love & attention, & a watchful eye. These are some of the things I’ve taken on while watching dogs/pets.

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my patience, reliability, and genuine love for animals. I have experience caring for pets of different ages and temperaments, and I’m comfortable handling both energetic puppies and gentle senior dogs. With a background in volunteering and strong attention to detail, I make sure pets feel safe, cared for, and loved while their owners are away. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I work nights, which leaves my days free for walks, playtime, and plenty of attention. Even while I’m at work, there’s always someone home to check on the dogs, make sure they eat, go potty, and feel comfortable. I also use a camera at home for extra peace of mind, so I can always keep an eye on them. In my home, pets have a safe, fenced backyard to play in and a crate available if needed. I have a small, friendly dog for companionship, so pets always have a buddy around. In my home I provide an average of 2–3 walks per day, regular potty breaks, and three meals a day, making sure every pet feels comfortable, cared for, and part of the family.

“Kasia is great. Olive our Rottweiler was a big fan. She was responsive in app and early/on time in person. You are in good hands, we will book her again.”

About: I’ve had animals since I was 6 years old and volunteered at the shelter a few times. I’ve cared for dogs and cats of all different kinds throughout the years I work a flexible self employed job so I can adjust my hours to your schedule. I can take animals in overnight or keep them all day if needed I have a friendly little dog and cat. The litter box is always kept clean and it’s hooded so no dogs can get into it. If needed, there are other rooms in the house if animals need to be separated. All pet food is locked away and they are given 24/7 access to water. The back yard is fenced so they can roam outside.

About: Hii! My name is ileanna, and I have been taking care of dogs for about 6 years now. Growing up, my neighbors would trust me to feed, clean, walk, cuddle, and give medications to their dogs. I have experience taking care of elderly dogs that required me to physically pick them up in order for them to move due to their mobility issues. I don't shy away from difficult tasks such as those. I have experience training puppies of all breeds, from little Poodles to German Shepherds. I am currently a student at a community college, but I am taking all of my classes online. Therefore, I am free Monday, Wednesday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. I am very flexible regarding my hours. I am very attentive and will not take my eyes off the dogs I care for unless they are in a protected safe space like the inside of their home. Depending on how much the pet drinks, I will refill the water at least 3 times a day. If I am provided with a list of instructions, I will follow it to a tee, and of course, I never get tired of playing with them, or turn away a good cuddle!

About: I have had dogs and cats my entire life, i currently have 1 dog who is my heart and live with 3 cats. I am no stranger to diet restrictions, temperments play styles, and everything in between. Animals are my heart, give me a call and you will see what i mean. I will always provide the comfort and care and love to your pets as you would. Cats are special and unique and im no stranger to sitting cats. I would to make sure you cats get the care they want while your gone. I will follow your routine and wishes to ensure their comfort and safety are always my number one priority. I am flexible and would love to met your pets and provide them with the care they deserve while your away, giving you as much comfort knowing they are loved.

About: Hi there! My name is Kenzie and I'm a dog mom of 2 boys (Barney, 12 & Blue 6 mo.) I have been an animal lover since before I could talk. Being around pets truly makes my heart happy and if your pet is in my care I’ll make sure to provide lots of toys, playtime, and treats (if allowed)! I am open to drop-in visits for potty breaks & cuddles, playtime, & walks around the neighborhood. I have a genuine love and appreciation for all pets and understand the responsibility of caring for your fur babies. I can promise you that I will love on them as if they were my own! Currently, I work part-time from home and set my own hours, so I am hopeful & excited to fit some pet care into my routine! Because I have my own babies at home, I will not be providing pet care in my home at this time. However, at client's homes I typically will let your pet out to go potty, play with them & give cuddles and treats (if allowed).
