Pet Sitting Rutherford

“Olivia is great with my four dogs- two super senior doodles and two bullies. The dynamic here can be challenging, but Olivia has been so good. She has awesome communication, she’s reliable, flexible, responsible and caring. Olivia is also an incredible artist and left us a beautiful hand-made card with our dog’s faces. We feel so lucky to have her help!”

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. I will treat your dog/s as if they were my own. I have much experience with aging / elderly dogs and dogs with special needs (dogs with leash aggression, anxiety, allergies, and prosthetic limbs/wheel chairs). My goal is to get to know you and your dog, and provide tailored service to meet your wants and your furry loved one's needs. I am happy to provide updates and pictures of our time together too! I work from home and have a flexible schedule. Please reach out if you have any additional questions for me! Thank you! I work from home, which allows for frequent walks, potty breaks and play time! Both the dogs and myself appreciate the breaks within the day! I have a fenced in yard and multiple ring cameras to ensure everyone's safety. Neighboring houses do not have dogs; it is a quiet and peaceful environment.

About: I am a big dog lover and a proud pet parent to two dogs (Dude, goofy but lovable chocolate lab and my princess Gracie, a King Charles Cavalier and a sweet senior cat Zuzu.), so caring for animals is already part of my everyday life. My pets are truly my babies so I know what it means to have someone you trust to treat them like family! I have adopted senior dogs in the past as well so I have experience with older / special needs dogs too. I work from home most days - for drop ins mornings and nights for drop ins are better for me but I can do lunchtime drop ins. I have a fenced in yard in both the back and front yard on a safe small private lane. I do not allow pets outside unsupervised!

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 Monday and Friday and I am able to adjust my own schedule to fit in dog walks, play time, feeding 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 :)

“Marion was very responsive and took great care of my pup! Would definitely recommend Her if you need pet sitting. So thankful to have met her and will definitely book again next time I am out of town or want to give my pup some activity when I am working long days.”

About: I am a responsible and reliable person. I am very gentle, and caring with animals. My whole life I’ve always wanted to be a vet. I want to help & take care for animals in any way I can. My family has always owned animals. We owned cats, dogs, rabbits, hamsters, guinea pigs, chickens, frogs, fish, turtles, a tortoise, an african grey parrot, parakeets and a bearded dragon. For some time I have been walking dogs, pet sitting and dog bathing for family and friends. I became a vet assistant for a few years and wanted to try a new trade so now i am currently working as a dog groomer ! I am currently taking a break from dog grooming so I’m available anytime of the day! Very flexible with anyone's schedule! Would love to keep working with animals :) I always take care of any pets that are in my care! If I’m walking them , I will take them on adventures . Or just drop in visits, will give all my attention to them and make sure they are good before I leave!

About: My first fur baby was Minnie (chi-weenie) gifted to me when I was 7 years old! Since then I grew up with her, my other fur baby Kobe who is a chihuahua mix, Lilly (Pitbull mix, and Chico (Pitbull mix.) My home was full of their love. I get to continue to share the love with all the doggy’s I have met so far. I am that friend everyone would come to for advice for their fur babies and to take care of. The last couple pictures are my precious babies that I would frequently care for in LA. I hope I am able to share these fun days with your fur baby! Whenever I get the chance to take a long walk I love including any doggy with me or just relaxing and watch bluey with my new fur pals. I’m very respectful of my surroundings and will always ask questions to know exactly of what you expect of me. Can’t wait to spend time with your pup!

About: I have had dogs since I was born, so growing up pets have always been impotent to me. I have learned the best ways to take care of them, and I am experienced in exactly what your pet will need! I am currently working part time, so I will have plenty of time to take care of your pups! I get off work at 3:00, and usually don’t work weekends. I always have time to walk and take care of my little guy at home. I am 100% willing to come to your home! I will stick to the schedule and rules you have for your pet, and make sure they are as comfortable as they are when you’re home!

“Logan's drop-in visits with our seniorly cat were just the ticket. We got a long weekend out of town and Mello was well cared for. He got his meds, food, clean up, plus play time and brushing. Adorable photos, too. This was preceded by a thoroughly enjoyable meet and greet. We'll certainly have Logan as our pet sitter again.”

“Gina was a gem! My cats enjoyed her presence and she made sure to engage and play with them. Followed all specifications and very communicative. Thank you Gina so much for taking care of my fur babies with the same love you’d show your own.”

“Mariah went above and beyond when taking care of my cat. It is so comforting being able to go on trip and know that your fur baby is in good hands. Thanks Mariah!”

About: I’m new to Rover but I, like so many others on here love animals! I have 2 dogs, an 8 year old tiny yet mighty Chihuahua and a 3 year old energetic and loving Border Collie. These two crazy boys have helped me learn that no two dogs are the same but a few things that they do have in common is their need for patient, loving, and understanding care takers. Dogs are the main animals that I’ve had the opportunity to care for, from chihuahuas to German shepherds but I’ve also had some clients with fish and turtles that needed boarding as well. I currently work at my administrative job 3 times a week and I’m looking for a fun way to spend my off days! My schedule is very flexible and I’m open to working around your pets routine! Most of my pet-sitting services take place in your home, where your pets can stay comfortable in the environment they know and love. My goal is to keep their routine as consistent as possible while providing them with plenty of love, attention, and personalized care. I also provide regular walks and engaging outdoor activities to keep them physically active and mentally stimulated. Every pet is treated as if they were my own, ensuring they feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you're away.

“Lisa was punctual, extremely pleasant and accommodating. Dogs loved her. Highly recommended!”

“Rusty did a terrific job with a drop-in visit I recently booked. Rusty took the time to get to know the dogs and the lay of the land with a meet and greet several days prior to the actual drop-in, which I appreciated. One of my dogs is an incredibly energetic dachshund puppy and the other is a senior dachshund with some trust issues. Rusty was incredibly knowledgable with how to handle both and I felt at ease with Rusty as my choice. I especially appreciate how communicative Rusty was throughout the process and they even sent me some cute pictures of my dogs during the visit. Thanks, Rusty!”

About: I’ve walked, cared for and raised more animals than I can count, I’d love to help with any pet needs! From Pointers to Pit Bulls, to Yorkies! Always willing to run, walk and play with your pets! I like to go on walks and/or runs for Cardio and like to have the company. Mornings of Evenings could work depending on the day usually Weeks I am the most free! I always make sure follow written/ my noted directions to make sure feeding times, walk times and any other matter isn’t an issue with my/your property or your pet.

“Kyrin was great! Very responsive and took good care of my two cats.”

“Kate did a great job! She was reliable, and provided an update to me every day! Trippy is very shy, but Kate managed to win Trippy's trust right away (honestly, I was very surprised!!!). When I returned home, Trippy was calm and happy to see me- clearly not stressed about being left alone while I was away. Kate made her feel that way, and I am grateful!! Thank you Kate!”

“Cora has been consistently showing up for over three months and has managed to build a trusting relationship with our very shy cat. She is attentive and I highly recommend her.”

About: 🐾Why I love pet sitting I love that pet sitting allows me to combine companionship, responsibility, and a slower, more present way of living. Every animal has their own routine and personality, and I enjoy learning what makes each one feel comfortable and happy. Whether that means going for a walk, spending quiet time together, playing, or simply keeping them company, I want the animals in my care to feel at home and well loved. I also understand how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your pets with someone else. My goal is to provide dependable care while respecting the routines and instructions that each pet parent has established. ✨About me I have worked for myself off and on since 2015, with a background in fashion design and printmaking. My creative work has always given me an appreciation for detail, patience, and working independently. In my 20s, I lived in a meditation community, where I practiced daily yoga and developed a deeper appreciation for mindfulness, simplicity, and being present. I eventually found my way into pet sitting in 2022 while living in Phoenix. Since then, caring for animals has become a very meaningful part of my life. I have since moved back to California and now dedicate most of my time to caring for animals. I genuinely enjoy getting to know each animal’s personality and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their people are away. My pet care & house-sitting routine When I house sit, I like to keep your pets’ normal routine as consistent as possible. My days typically include: * 🐾 Morning: Feedings, fresh water, potty break, and a morning walk or outdoor time. * 🐾 Throughout the day: Potty breaks, playtime, enrichment, cuddles, and plenty of companionship. * 🐾 Evening: Dinner, another walk or outdoor time, and settling into their usual nighttime routine. * 🐾 House care: Bring in the mail and packages, water plants as needed, take out trash, and keep the home clean and tidy. * 🐾 Updates: I’m happy to send photos and updates so you know how everyone is doing while you’re away. I’m flexible and always happy to follow your pets’ specific routines, needs, and preferences. When I stay in a client’s home, I treat it with the same care and respect I would my own. My priority is keeping your pets comfortable and maintaining their normal routine as closely as possible. I make sure they receive their meals on schedule, fresh water, regular potty breaks, walks, play and enrichment, and plenty of affection and companionship. I pay attention to their individual personalities and needs, whether they want lots of activity and attention or prefer a quieter, more relaxed day. I do leave the house periodically for my own errands, walks, or activities, but I make sure your pets receive dedicated one-on-one time throughout the day and aren’t simply left alone for long periods. While I’m there, I also keep the home tidy, bring in mail and packages, take out trash, and take care of any agreed-upon household tasks. I’m respectful of your space and routines, and I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you can feel confident that your pets—and your home—are being well cared for.

About: My first actual job was at Pet clinic where i learned most of my experience with all types of pets and I worked at a doggy day care where i learned more about dogs behaviors a little more. I do have 3 cats of my own so I’m usually with them most of the time but would love to make time to get to know more pets and walk them and give them the best care. I would prefer to do check ins and could stay the night if needed, I currently can’t have pets over at my place but there are alternatives that we can sort out that you are comfortable with.
