About: I absolutely love caring for dogs and cats! I started my first dog-walking business when I was 8, helping neighbors keep their pups happy and exercised, and since then friends and family have trusted me with their pets for walks, drop-ins, and overnight stays. I’m a proud cat owner too, so I love all kinds of pets! Every animal is unique, and I follow each owner’s instructions carefully to make sure your dog or cat feels happy, safe, and loved while you’re away. I’d love to meet your pet and show them the care and attention they deserve—let’s make sure they have a great time while you’re out! I work from my phone, so I am very flexible! I work mainly on social media, and I make my own schedule, so I can truly ensure to be present with the animals I am caring for. I won’t offer care in my home at this time, but for my cat I feed her in the morning and evening and clean her litter box daily For dogs that I walk or pet sit, I get very clear with the owner of what the expect of me. I walk them on schedule and feed them on schedule. I pick up their poop and throw it away accordingly! I love to go to parks and play fetch. I need to know emergency contact info. I love to play with the dogs with their favorite toys!

Novia informed me that she was available to cat-sit for another day as our flight would arrive late and we were more than happy to have our cats’ needs be addressed. Novia was also communicative throughout our interaction on the app. Our cats and everything in our place were well cared for.

About: I enjoy spending time with cats and dogs, here’s my pet sitting experience so far: - Taken care of a high energy 2 year old female Doberman on numerous occasions (even during heat and post spay surgery) - A Senior German Shepherd who also happens to be a service dog - Three lovely rescue kittens (I also helped their mother build them their beautiful cat tree) - A three year old playful labradoodle I’m currently pursuing my master’s at UC Irvine, and outside of classes and studying, I have plenty of time to care for your furry loved one! I’ll make sure they get the attention, playtime, and care they need while fitting seamlessly into your daily routine. Most pets prefer a set and predictable routing, so it is important to me that I am able to provide the same routine for your pet while you're away. I will walk/feed your loved one at the same time that you normally do.

About: I have a Ragdoll cat who was born blind, and I’ve been taking really good care of her. Over time, I’ve learned how to help her feel safe and confident by keeping her environment consistent and being extra gentle with her. I really love cats—they’ve always been a big part of my life, and I enjoy building trust with each one. I also help take care of my friend’s senior dog, so I’m familiar with the extra love, patience, and slower pace that older pups need. I’m a PhD student at UCI and have a pretty flexible schedule, so I can be around during the day to check in, give attention, and make sure your pet feels safe and cared for. I’m a PhD student at UCI and have a pretty flexible schedule—and I sometimes work from home, so I can be around during the day to check in, give attention, and make sure your pet feels safe and cared for. I take time to get to know each pet’s personality and routine so they can feel at ease with me. I keep their environment calm, quiet, and consistent—especially important for pets that are anxious, senior, or have special needs, like my own disabled Ragdoll cat.

About: I have been surrounded by pets—specifically dogs, but with a parrot and cats and a lizard or two thrown in for good measure—since I was nine years old. Now, I’m the proud owner of one very good girl (Staffordshire terrier) and I have worked with her to ensure that she’s extremely well trained, especially during our miles-long walks! I have also done pet care since the age of 22 for a few different clients to supplement my income, and have always fostered strong, trusting relationships with both dogs and humans. I am a mother of humans as well, so I know the importance of being reliable, responsible, and present for my clients. Right now, I am a full-time student, and a mother. My kids are in school as well, so my availability is extremely flexible. The weekends are when I am wide open, but during the week, and especially during the evenings and early mornings, I am available. Let’s connect and see if we can work out a schedule! When caring for pets in my clients’ homes, I think gaining the trust of the animal is most important. I am gentle, but firm (sort of how I mother my kids!), and I ensure that the pet is walked for the proper amount of time, fed, given water, and loved on/plates with! Of course, these practices will be specifically tailored to the individual needs the pet requires, and I understand and respect the important of adhering the those specifics.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 10. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, and bathe their pets. I’m patient, responsible, and genuinely love spending time with animals whether it’s energetic puppies or calm senior dogs, I make sure each one feels safe, loved, and happy. I’m a student, which gives me plenty of free time to take care of pets throughout the week. I’m available in the afternoons and evenings on both weekdays and weekends, so your pets will always get the time, care, and attention they deserve while you’re away. When caring for pets in your home, I always treat your space with respect and keep everything clean and organized. I follow your instructions carefully, ensure pets feel comfortable and safe, and keep you updated with photos or messages so you can relax knowing they’re in good hands.

About: Two years ago, I raised a border herd with my friend. A year ago, I helped another friend foster her with her golden retriever. I love walking dogs and communicating with puppies. Now there is a Maltis dog where I live. I'm currently working part-time, so I'll have plenty of time to play with your pups! I'm available for boarding on weekends, and weekdays after 4 pm When I care for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I always make sure their safety, comfort, and routine come first. I follow the owner’s instructions carefully regarding feeding times, portion sizes, and any medications. I provide fresh water at all times and make sure the pet has a clean, comfortable space to rest. I spend quality time with them through walks, play, or gentle interaction depending on their personality and energy level. I also keep the environment clean, monitor their behavior for any signs of stress or illness, and update the owner with photos and messages so they feel reassured.

About: Looking to help you take care of your pets! I have two high energy large dogs, and have had plenty of experience on Rover and other dog walking and sitting platforms, and I know first hand how to provide the best care needed. I am very active and love to take my own dogs on walks everyday, I work from home most days so I have a lot of available and flexibility for drop in visits and walks during the week! I am available for house sitting during the weekends (Friday-Sunday). I have had experience with both large and small dog breeds, cats, and I am comfortable around many other animals as well (I owned horses and worked on a farm for 10+ years). Currently working as an environmental geologist, I have plenty of free time in the afternoons and weekends. I work from home most Tuesdays-Fridays with some field work. Calendar updated weekly. I am more than comfortable coming to house sit, walk, and do drop in visits! I have reliable transportation and am willing to travel from my place in Irvine. I have plenty of experience house sitting, and have plenty of professional experience working through tough logistics and being responsible for the security, safety, and cleanliness of houses and job sites at my work! I am CPR and first aid certified, and have experience given medication (non injection) if needed.

Randi was amazing. I met her on a shorter notice but she was very willing to help. I have a few cats who are a little more nervous around strangers, but when she entered my house, they all warmed up to her immediately. Not a common occurrence. She sent wonderful photos and updates throughout the trip. Would 100% hire again!
