Pet Sitting in Rutherford

About: From taking care of my family cats and dogs, to pet sitting for family friends and neighbors in high school, to volunteering at Saving Grace dog rescue and SPCA tampa bay, to working at Cats&Caffeine kitty cafe; I have experience with all kinds of animals. I’ve spent the night with the most energetic golden doodle and dalmatian puppies, helped geriatric senior doggies stand up and walk down the front door steps without falling over so we could go on a walk around the neighborhood. I have experience giving medicine in all forms to both cats and dogs, as i’ve volunteered in the vet clinic and have taken a wildlife rehabilitation course. I’m a senior at Eckerd college majoring in animal studies and it’s my dream to open a cat cafe one day. I’m taking time off from school currently to focus on my health, and i’ve found that caring for other animals helps me care for myself <3 Their sense of happiness and wellbeing will always be my number one priority when I am around. I have a fully fenced yard and three (one personal, two family) cats in my home who don’t like other cats, but are fine with dogs. I’m also willing to travel and stay in your home, as I know my fur baby is always more comfortable in his own space.

“Thank you Olivia!!!”

“Emma was fantastic! She checked in on our dog multiple times, keeping us updated and making sure he was well cared for. Her attention to detail and kindness gave us peace of mind while we were away.”

“Siarra was great. She checked on our two older cats over a weekend for us. Spent time with them, emptying litter boxes, feeding them and sending us some good pictures. I would definitely recommend her, and I’m sure we will use her again.”

About: Hello! I’ve been around dogs all my life. I’m kind, patient and am experienced with all sorts of dogs. Please note I do own a dog of my own that is here, she kind playful and friendly. I am currently working remotely and am home almost all day long. I take my pet on three walks a day. I also have an enclosed fenced in backyard with easy access.

About: I am a United States Marine Vet so I have base access if needed. I book up pretty quickly. I have a very open schedule until the end of this year for I’ll be attending college in January. I have a Service Dog, so I can assist in your training as well as keep up with the routines that you already have in place. I work from home which lets me have a pretty open schedule. I am available for holidays and weekends. I can also do last-minute bookings if needed. I have a huge dog park nearby that rarely any other dogs visit. Every animal has their separate place to eat/Sleep. Your pet will be treated as if they are my own.

About: I have trained my personal dogs with basic commands and helpful safety training so the dog and human are safe. Can assist with puppy training and leash walking as well. I adore all cats and the strong willed personalities. Birds including chickens are also in my wheel house. My flexible schedule gives me the opportunity to care for your pet through the day in a mellow and calm environment. Multiple neighborhood walks and fetch are on the daily itinerary. I am comfortable with crate training dogs, and or free roaming pups. If your dog pulls on walks, I am delighted to have the patience to work on stopping this trait to make walking a breeze for you in the future.

I am retired from the court system and available most any time. I can work with your schedule intertwined with any commitments I might have. I can accommodate whatever needs you have, be it walking, pet sitting, dropping in in order to check on your babies and also staying the night.

“Briana is intelligent, thoughtful and caring -- the pet care trifecta! She has experience with many different species and provided exceptional care for our diverse group of pets, some of whom have "special" needs. From the first visit, we knew by her great questions that she was going to provide high quality care for our pets. Throughout our time away, she was really wonderful at communicating and providing updates. Our animals were all SO comfortable around her. She has the experience and calm confidence that put them at ease. We returned to find all our pets happy, clean and content. We could not be more pleased with her care and hope she will be available to watch over our pets the next time we are planning a trip out of town. Briana is definitely an asset to our community.”

“Kathryn took great care of Shafer while we attended an event in Napa Valley. We came from out of town and we decided to book through Rover. Kathryn responded promptly and accommodated our request to have her stay with our dog at our hotel while we were at the event. Based on the pictures she shared of Shafer, he was extremely comfortable and relaxed while in Kathryn’s care. I would highly recommend Kathryn.”

About: Dogs have been a part of my life for over 10 years! My family and friends have entrusted me with the care of their pets whether that be a doggy beach day, a doggy pamper day or even just to hang out with their pup! I work from home and I am able to adjust my own schedule to fit in dog walks, dog play time, dog feed time, or whatever have you! My schedule revolves around my doggo! I have a super friendly dog, Shabba, who loves meeting other dogs and running around with them. I love taking dogs on walks or runs to the beach where they can get a lot of play time in :)

About: I know how important routine and comfort is for pups when their human(s) go away. Staying consistent with the day to day norm is so important. I am committed to treating your dog the way you would while you are gone. A little more about me: I was born & raised in farm country with cows, horses, geese, chickens, cats, dogs ... you name it. I've been an animal lover from a young age and i've had / cared for horses, dogs, cats, rabbits, fish, birds etc. I started dog / house sitting in my late teens for friends and family. What sets me apart? Dogs of all sizes have stollen my heart but none more than the big breeds people often shy away from. I love Canes, Danes, Rotties, Pitties, Mastiffs, Dogos, Presas ... the bigger the dog the bigger the heart! Having been a mom to a papered Rottweiler as well as a Rottweiler rescue I can say no one dog is easier than another, they are all so unique and individualistic just like us. After rehabilitating and training my rescue Rottie to be a service dog I began helping others train their dogs as well (by referral only). It's been 1.5 years since my last Rottie love transitioned to the rainbow bridge and though I am not ready for another one of my own I do have the time and love to give to the pups of others. If there is anything else you'd like to know feel free to message me! My schedule is my own. I'm a self employed business development consultant. I help female entrepreneurs go from idea to launch and provide social marketing strategy post launch. Most of my work is done on my laptop & cell phone. I am committed to treating your dog the way you would while you are gone. I know how important routine and comfort is for pups when their human(s) go away. Staying consistent with day to day norms is key!

About: Since childhood, animals have been a part of my life—dogs, cats, birds, bunnies, and even horses. I bring decades of hands-on experience with all breeds, temperaments, and ages, including puppies, kittens, and senior pets needing extra love and attention. My calm, nurturing energy, reliable communication, and deep understanding of each animal’s unique needs are what sets me apart. Whether it's a playful pup or a shy senior cat, I tailor my care with patience, compassion, and joy. Your pet’s comfort and happiness are always my top priority. My schedule is open, as I have just started and would like to do this full-time. I offer comprehensive pet and home-sitting services in beautiful Sonoma Valley. I am excited to include pet care in my daily and weekly routine, ensuring that every beloved pet receives the love and attention they deserve. Your pet’s safety and comfort come first to me. Whether in your home or mine, I provide loving, reliable, attentive care tailored to their needs. I maintain familiar routines, prioritize cleanliness, and ensure a calm, secure environment. With constant supervision and clear communication, you can trust that your beloved pet is in caring, capable hands.

About: I’ve always had a deep love for dogs, having grown up with them in the Champagne Region (France), and I finally moved to California three years ago after spending a decade living in Australia, South Africa, and China. Shortly after settling in, I adopted my little Charlie, who has brought endless joy into my life ever since. Charlie is my constant companion—we go everywhere together! He’s a big fan of the ocean, enjoys snacking on yogurt, loves playing with other dogs, and even enjoys chasing those pesky squirrels. Charlie also loves having friends over, and we often care for dogs belonging to friends. As we welcome the new year, we’re excited to make even more furry friends! Pet care is an integral part of my daily and weekly routine. Every day starts with morning walks in the vineyard and plenty of playtime with Charlie, ensuring he gets the exercise and mental stimulation he needs. Throughout the day and depending on work needs, I make time for meals, treats, and cuddles, incorporating his care seamlessly into my schedule. On weekends, I prioritize longer adventures like beach trips, hikes, or visits to dog parks, where Charlie can socialize and explore. I also enjoy caring for friends’ dogs, so having extra pups around is a natural extension of my routine. When pets stay with me, they become part of the family. They have plenty of space to relax, play, and explore. Daily walks, playtime, and cuddle sessions are part of the routine. My dog, Charlie, loves making new friends, so visiting pets always have a buddy to keep them company. I maintain a safe, clean, and pet-friendly environment where they feel at ease and cared for.

About: In my life, I have taken care of many types of animals but mostly cats and dogs. I have always been a reliable person for family or friends to call. I have taken care of 4-week-old kittens to deaf and blind dogs that need a little extra care. I love them all the same. My schedule is Monday thru Friday from 8 am to 5pm but can be flexible. I live in an apartment but do have med size backyard that is secure with a tall fence and gates that latch and usually keep a lock on them. I would say for me, it all depends on the animal that I am watching and fit them in however I can. My schedule aside from work is very flexible. I am currently not watching pets in my house but when I am petsitting at someone house. I like to have it as close to the animals normal routine.

“Very caring lady! Very prompt and communicated very well with dog and his owner. Definitely use her again”

About: I grew up with dogs and recently lost my best friend, a corgi, Teddy. As a long time dog-owner, I understand how much anxiety goes into leaving your dog with someone else.

Neighboring houses do not have dogs; it is a quiet and peaceful environment.
