About: Hello! I have a mixed poodle and have been taking care of my friend’s pets off and on while they’re away for almost 5 years now. I want to dedicate my time to looking over your pet full-time, so expect attention to detail with all care instructions. I look forward to meeting your fur baby. I’m currently on Rover full time. I am available Monday-Saturday starting at 7am to 11pm and on Sundays before noon. If these times don’t work please reach out and I can move my schedule. I have one elder fur baby she is kind to other dogs and has only barked five times in her lifetime. I live in an area where I am able to walk your pet in green grass for almost a mile. Plenty of space for walks and fun.

4. Tobia P.
About: Hello! I'm Tobi! I'm a former Vet Tech who loves your dog! I've had all sorts of dogs in the past (Lhasa Apso, mutts, and a Belgian Malinois)- but we are down to one 10 year old German Shepherd named Otto. I've trained all of the dogs I've been lucky to own with the basics- sit, come, etc. I've also done things like Barn Hunt and Dock Diving with Otto when he was younger. Working from home gives me a good amount of flexibility. I'd love to walk and get some exercise during the day, but our old dog isn't up to it anymore. After 10+ years of walking with a dog, I'm finding it lonely to walk by myself. Plus, I'd love a bit of company during my workday! I have a huge fenced yard, a dog run, dog crates- you name it, I've probably got it! Otto could use some company during the day as well. I do have a toddler who is respectful of dogs, but if you're unsure of how your dog is around kids, I'd be happy to watch your pup at your home! I want all parties to be safe and comfortable.
5. Christy W.
About: I had raised both of my dogs since I was 10. Just as I love and care for them, I look forward to caring for your dogs, cats, birds, and other species of pets as if they were my own. :) I’m a student and work part-time at an afterschool program, but my nights are free always! And with many of my classes being remote, it will be easy for me to integrate playtime with your pets in my daily routine. In your home, I could provide any service necessary (i.e.bathing, grooming, walking, playtime, etc), on top of renewing their food + water bowls and cleaning up their excrement of course. In my home, I would offer overnight pet sitting.
6. Aidyn U.
“Aidyn was on time and very friendly. She was confident in handling our high energy almost 100 lb Great Dane puppy. Lola was hesitant to go on her walk at first, but Aidyn calmly comforted her and got her to enjoy a nice long walk.”
7. Melis Y.
“Melis is an incredible dog sitter! She looked after our 17-year-old, sassy Morkie while we were away, and did a fantastic job. Our dog needs a lot of attention and takes regular medication, and Melis made sure she got all her meds on time. She even sent us regular pictures of Foxy, which we really appreciated! I also recommended her to a friend with a very energetic 4-year-old Australian Shepherd, and they were just as happy with her services. After using dog-sitting services for 15 years, I can confidently say Melis is the best in Riverside. Highly recommend her!”
8. Nicholas M.

11. Sandra M.
“Sandra M. is by far the most caring towards animals i have seen first hand owning and maintaining a couple dogs of her own as well as other animals she has owned. Currently working on her veterinarian career i think she meets all requirements as well as the love for dogs that is needed for this line of work.”

14. Marina G.
“Marina walked my dog weekly and was very reliable. She also helped out with last minute requests and has been accommodating. She gives great reports and i feel very safe with my dog in her care. I would/will book with her again.”
15. Jaden L.
About: I own a neapolitan mastiff, Dachshund, and two cats so I know how to take care of and deal with all different sizes and shapes of dogs and cats. I’ve also owned many different types of fish and reptiles and cared for them so I would be open to any kind of sitting/walking or caring you might need. I’m currently in school but I’m available a majority of the time every day. Please contact me for information about booking or to check availability. I treat all dogs with kindness and like they are my own. Maintaining safety is one of my top priorities along with making sure that my care is as good as I can make it. Their are many good pet sitters out there but I try to give your animal what they need with flexibility and security in you knowing that your pets are safe.

“My 2 pups are always excited to go walks with Elena. She is so loving and kind to my dogs. She’s dependable and I’m just so grateful to have her since I work long hours and they need these walks”
17. Mary M.
About: Hi, my name is Mary and I’m 25 years old. I’m a huge fan of all animals, I currently have 6 cats and in the past have owned goats, pigs, and cattle. I definitely have a lot of experience with animals. I recently graduated with my animal science degree and I’m now on the track to become be a veterinarian. I figured this would be a great opportunity for me to earn some money while working with animals. I have pet sit in the past for former teachers and friends which is why I figured I would give this a shot.Your animals will be in great hands and would give me an idea of what it would be like to work with animals everyday. I am currently not working so I will be able to give all the attention and love your furry baby will need. I will be home all day for the most part. I have an open yard where I can keep the dogs on a leash so they can go potty. Also have fenced dog park in my apartment complex that I can take them too to play I’m currently working part time so I have a lot of free time to take care of all types of fur babies. Your pet will be well taken care of. I have five cats that grew up with dogs and are very friendly. Your animal would be safe and welcomed in my home or yours.
18. Alyson G.
“Alyson is great with animals! She is a good friend of mine and has shown how much she loves animals not only through her own, but towards mine. I trust her with caring for my pets and would always choose her when it comes to pet sitting. Alyson works hard and will do her absolute best in caring for another one’s pet!”
19. Frances M.
“I had never felt comfortable leaving my fur babies with strangers before but unfortunately I was left in a situation in which I needed to trust my babies to a stranger. With due consideration I choose Frances and could not have been happier with my decision. Upon meeting her I instantly trusted her and throughout my time away from my dogs Frances gave me updates. In the end I was grateful to Frances for giving me a small vacation from all the dog hair. Thank you Frances!”
20. Fernando B.
“Thank you Fernando for walking with my energetic dog! She loves walk with you and sleeps well after the walk. Thank you again! :)”
