Pet Sitting University

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.

“Communicative, reliable and considerate!”

About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life! I grew up on a farm surrounded by dogs and all kinds of animals, so caring for pets has always come naturally to me. I have my own small dog who I’ve raised since he was a puppy, and I love taking him on walks and to dog parks. I’m very patient, attentive, and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I also occasionally volunteer at local dog shelters, which has given me experience caring for dogs with different personalities and needs. Your pet will be treated with the same love, patience, and care I give my own. ❤️🐾 I’m a UCR student with a flexible class schedule, so I’m able to work around your pet’s needs and provide care at a variety of times. I’m happy to accommodate different schedules and make sure your pet gets the attention and care they need. 🐾 I’ll treat your home and pets with the same care and respect I give my own. I’ll always prioritize their safety, follow your instructions and routines, and make sure they feel comfortable, loved, and cared for in their own space. 🐾❤️

“Samantha took very good care of my 4 cats while I was away. They all were happy and healthy when I returned. Everything remained tidy and Samantha was even sweet enough to bring in a package! Thank you Samantha from Simon, Coco, Tsuki and Suly and I.”

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: Growing up with dogs has left me with some great experience from dog walking and playtime to feeding and administering medicine. Of course your pup will get the best treatment but that comes with a good eye. I believe that I am great at understanding their needs based off their behavior, age, and energy level. Accommodating to their needs won’t be an issue. When caring for your pup overnight, nothing will change when it comes to giving them my full attention and making sure their needs are met. When caring for my dog Max in his last years he developed a cough which required extra care such as giving medication at late hours or simply being in their presence with some scratches. This experience taught me the importance of caring for an aging dog, being patient, attentive and compassionate. I promise I will care for yours as if they were my own! Thank you 😊 I am currently working full time although I will be available for night walks after 6pm on weekdays (Monday-Thursday) and boarding on weekends (Friday-Sunday). I can offer your pups toys and attention, whether it be in or outdoors. Whatever special request you have I would do my best to achieve. I only wish to create a happy and safe environment for them 😄

“Katherine was so amazing! She is very kind and gentle with my senior cat Benny. Benny warmed up to her and went in for some pets. Katherine is very reliable, communicative and professional. I was able to relax on my vacation knowing that Katherine was watching Benny after our meet and greet. I would book Katherine again!”

About: I’ve taken care of cats since I was 12. I grew up with cats and love their personalities. I have one kitty now, his name is Ricky. I first provided dog/house-sitting services for my professor in college for about 5 days where I fed, played and walked her lovely Border Collie. I began to cat sitting/drop ins for my brother and sister-in-law two years ago while they were away on vacation in the summer and have been doing it since. I am happy to care for both cats and doggos alike. I work a full time job, but can provide drop in services in the evenings for your pets while you’re away or make arrangements to cat/dog sit in your home. I am also available weekends! My availability will reflect on the calendar. I abide by your house rules and preferences when house sitting your pet in your home. If your pet gets anxious with new people around, I think it’s always best to have me meet them with you before you leave. I am happy to provide daily updates and send you photos. If there is any doubt about your pets needs, I’ll be sure to communicate those with you directly.

“Casey did a great job! Cesar is an older dog and she kept a good eye on him, letting me know when he seemed off one day. She always sent me pics and reports of what he was up to, how he was eating, etc. I was thankful to have such a caring, experienced sitter! And she made awesome organic dog treats!! Would def use her again!”

I can do morning, afternoon, evenings and nights. Except Sunday morning, until noon. We can go on a hike, play tag or any other rewarding game.

“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.”
