About: I love animals and have a dog of my own, so I understand how important it is to find someone who will treat your pet with care. I’ve also taken care of my friends’ furry companions! I’m patient, attentive, and happy to follow your pet’s routine so they feel comfortable. I’ll give them plenty of attention during our time together and keep you updated along the way. I’m currently a college student, and classes are my main commitment, so I can plan pet care around my class schedule. I already enjoy taking walks, and I’d love to have a furry companion join me! I’ll follow your care instructions and respect your home and your pet’s routine. On walks, I’ll keep your dog securely leashed, pay attention to their comfort and surroundings, and keep you updated on how they’re doing.

“I couldn't have asked for a better sitter than Quetzaly to take care of my cat, Mars. From the start, she was incredibly warm, professional, and attentive. She went above and beyond by sending me thoughtful updates, photos, and little notes that helped me feel completely at ease while I was away. It was clear that Mars felt comfortable and cared for! Thank you again, Quetzaly! 🐾”

About: I know that dogs are family, and I want you to feel comfortable knowing your pup is being cared for while you’re away! I’m happy to help with dog walking, drop-in visits, and house sitting in your home. Whether your dog loves getting outside for a walk, playing with their favorite toys, or simply having some company, I’ll do my best to make sure they feel happy, safe, and cared for. I understand that every dog has their own personality and routine, so I’ll take the time to learn what makes your dog most comfortable. I’m also happy to help with bathing and brushing when arranged in advance. I’ll follow your instructions carefully, respect your dog’s comfort level, and keep you updated with photos and messages throughout our time together. I’d love to meet your furry friend and learn all about their favorite activities, daily routine, and little quirks! As a UCR student, my availability is planned around my class schedule. I’ll communicate clearly with you about timing and make sure we agree on a schedule that works for both of us and meets your pet’s needs. I’m happy to discuss your pet’s usual routine, feeding times, walks, and other care requirements ahead of time so we can make the experience as smooth as possible! Your pet’s safety and comfort are always important to me. I’ll follow your care instructions carefully, respect your home, and take the time to understand your pet’s personality and needs. I believe in being patient, attentive, and gentle, especially when a pet is adjusting to someone new. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. Your furry family member deserves to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for!

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.

About: I’ve worked professionally in pet boarding & daycare for 2 years, including at Holiday Pet Hotel & at Tale of the Dog. In addition, I’ve been pet sitting since I was young, caring for dogs, cats, lizards, birds, & other small animals. My kennel experience has given me a ton of knowledge of dog behavior, body language, & safe handling techniques. Whether it’s walking, feeding, bathing, or giving extra playtime, I make sure each pup/kitty feels safe, comfortable, & loved! I am currently a student at UCR studying biology (pre-vet) but my schedule is very flexible. I plan my schedule carefully around the pets I’m caring for to make sure they get consistent attention, exercise, & care. I’m reliable with routines & always make time for walks, feeding, & spending quality time with each pet! I provide in-home care so your pets can stay comfortable in their own space. With kennel & pet sitting experience, I know how to handle different breeds & personalities. I’ll stick to their normal routine, give them lots of attention, & make sure they’re happy while you’re away :)

About: I’ve sat for many different dogs since I was 13. Family and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, play with, and apply any needed medications to their dogs. I’ve looked after small Chihuahuas to big Rottweilers, from ages 13 and under. I’m currently taking online community college courses on Mondays and Wednesdays. I’m available all day on weekends and weekdays to look after your amazing dogs! I think it’s best that a dog stay in their own environment so they can feel more comfortable. I will follow the rules you give about your house and pets to make sure they feel safe and your house stays clean and secure.

About: ​As a local PhD student, I bring an exceptional level of detail, structure, and reliability to pet care. I am a fellow dog owner with extensive experience that ranges from house sitting cats and dogs to managing high energy environments with up to four dogs at once. Because I understand firsthand the daily routines and unique personalities of animals, I treat your pets with the exact same patience and care I give my own. My organized schedule ensures your home is fully respected and your furry family members receive dedicated companionship while you are away. ​As a PhD student, my weekends are completely free for pet care. I love balancing fun, active time with animals alongside quiet study hours during their downtime. I’ve managed everything from single cats to a pack of four dogs. I’ll give your pets the structured, reliable companionship they need while keeping your home perfectly respected. ​When staying in your home, I treat your space and your pets with the utmost respect. I strictly abide by all house rules, seamlessly maintain your pet’s established routines, and am always happy to keep things tidy by doing quick chores like vacuuming up pet hair or cleaning up litter before you get back.

“Denae quickly made our cats feel comfortable in their home. Our cats are very timid with people they don’t know, but they bonded quickly with Denae. Golden Boy and Crowley even allowed Denae to pet them, and Crowley had his combed, which he loves. It takes a special person with great skill to accomplish this task in just a couple of days. We hope Denae will be available for our next vacation. Thank you Denae for making our cats feel happy and loved.”

Samantha looked after my dog Raven on short notice and was great! She was able to meet her beforehand to make sure she was a good fit. She took the interaction with my dog slow as she is shy with new people. After the drop in visit she left a great summary which let me know my dog was well taken care of. I will be using her in the future!

Danielle has been absolutely wonderful! We first met her for a meet & greet earlier this week before booking our first drop-in, and right away we felt comfortable with her. She’s so kind, and you can genuinely tell how much she loves and cares for animals. Today she came by for an hour to let Shane and Parker out for a potty break, and she went above and beyond by spending extra time with them. We really appreciated that and loved knowing our boys were getting some extra attention and company while we were away. We’re so thankful we found Danielle and feel completely comfortable having her care for our dogs. We’ll definitely be booking with her again! ❤️🐾

Sam and Emily were wonderful dog sitters for our two dogs, Rocco (Boston Terrier) and Chloe (Great Dane). They kept us updated with frequent messages and adorable pictures, which we really appreciated. They were attentive to important details and communicated everything clearly. We especially loved how patient they were with our Great Dane, who can be a big scaredy-cat. We felt completely at ease knowing our dogs were in their care and would highly recommend them!
