“Kristina was great. Daily walks and various other activities for my pup, plus loads of updates and photos to give you peace of mind. Would 100% get her again to take care of my furbaby!”

“Emily and Sam, thank you so much. Having Snowball stay with your beautiful family was such a wonderful experience. If I could leave more than 5 stars I would! Thank you again Whenever we come back through your area we will definitely book again!”


“Martin and his son were excellent. Communication was consistent, and they kept us updated with pictures, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. It was clear our dogs were being cared for with the same level of attention and affection we would give them ourselves. Our dogs came back happy, relaxed, and clearly had a great time — especially being able to interact with their dogs as well. Martin and his son were responsive, reliable, and genuinely caring. We’re very grateful they were available on a weekend and would absolutely trust them again.”

“Rodney and Christine were so wonderful to work with, we appreciated how quick they were to respond, their updates and care with taking care of our dog, as well as their flexibility. They were so kind and easy to work with and really helped us out with a last minute reservation and some delayed travels. We highly recommend them as people who are kind, reliable and loves animals. We look forward to using them in the future!”

“Kathleen and Penny are always so welcomingwhen we arrive. My fur baby Lexi is happy and well taken care of when she stays. If Lexi went need boarding Kathleen will always be our first option.”

“Megan was great with my young dog. And she went over and above all expectations since mine was recently out of a shelter and therefore unpredictable. Thank you so much Megsn.”

“Winnie took excellent care of our Daisy. She went on daily walks and we were provided updates with pictures and videos daily. Definitely recommend Winnie if your pet needs a temporary home.”


“Juan was amazing and flexible… I really appreciated his service and that of Rover. It was my first time using the app and saved me in a pinch. I had to fly and found Juan who was available last minute and came through. My brother dipped off and picked up the dog and said nothing but good things about Juan. Thanks buddy… definitely recommend and will be using him and Rover in the future.”

“Alexandra was amazing! She was super flexible with a last minute request and very communicative during the day with photos and updates. We felt like our dog was very well cared for 😊”

“Nutan & Garrett were great! They were fast responders & easily accessible. I was sent pics & videos throughout my dog's 9 day stay & he always looked so happy in them. He also came home happy & looked well taken care of. He was even walked & given a bath even though I didn't ask them to do that, which was great! I'm always careful with who I leave my dog with because he's a big Doberman, but they did a great job with him.”

About: Pet care is not just a job for me but a full time career. I have completed pet care coursework; a history caring for those with special needs, internal connections with PetSmart Inc professionals, and daily care for my beloved 5 dogs & 5 cats. I’m currently available weekdays and weekends willing to accommodate client’s busy schedules. I have graduated from school and ready to work full time caring for domesticated animal breeds. I have a very clean and spacious suburban home with one small indoor cat and one small dog. No children. Smoke free. Outdoor security camera present. *** I am very comfortable working in all types of client environments.

“This was my first time using rover and I was very nervous using it. Dorcas was so sweet with Mookie and shared updates across the day and pictures. It was what my mommy heart needed. Mookie enjoyed the walks and dog park.”

“Jeanne took amazing care of my dog, Bruno, and I’m so grateful. She treated him like her own and made me feel completely at ease. I especially appreciated how she kept me updated, even when I was busy and couldn’t always respond. I would absolutely trust her again and highly recommend her!”

“Took great care of our pets going above and beyond with communicating and sending updates. We were worry-free right away knowing our pets were in good hands. Thank you very much to the whole family for helping take care of our babies!”

“Aiyency thank you so much for being available last minute and being flexible with the pick up drop off times. I appreciate all the pictures and communication along the way.”

“She’s the best pet sitter I’ve ever had!! Amazing personality and truly loves animals and puts her all into making them feel comfortable away from home. She updated me every chance she got and it made me feel peace of mind about where my cat was and what he’s up to. My cat is usually shy and afraid around new people but immediately warmed up to her on Day 2! Lynna is very flexible and punctual as well which was nice. Definitely recommend her as your pet sitter!!”

“Amazing sitter!! Sent me pictures everyday to keep me updated on my little one. He was well taken care of with her. Would definitely recommend and would trust to leave him with her again! 🥹”

“Destiny did a great job taking care of our kitties! One of my cats is a senior lady who needs medication and some special attention, and one is an anxious guy who needs emotional support, but I wasn’t worried about them at all! She also sent great pictures every day.”


“Casey was so detailed when caring for our dogs. She really went above and beyond. You can definitely tell she is a dog person. I’m really glad we found someone trustworthy and reliable to care for our 3 dogs and we’ll be using her when we go away again.”


About: I have had many cats over the years and have loved them all. I've also been a cat sitter for many years and have administered medications, groomed kitties, pretty much anything to do with cat care. Cats love a clean environment and I love making them comfy by keeping their litter boxes immaculate and their space clean and fresh. I have 3 cats at the moment, Preston, a beautiful red male Persian, which my husband and I adopted from a rescue in Mission Viejo. Rosie, a petite female Tabby with all white paws, she's sweet like sugar, rescued as a small kitten from a litter of kittens at Ralph's grocery. And Lucky, a large male gray and white shorthair that my husband and I rescued from the bushes in the parking lot at Moreno Valley mall when he was about 6 months old. They are all my loves and snuggly companions.

“Heather was great! I was super nervous because I rarely leave my cats behind when I travel. Heather did a meet and greet with us first which was really nice. She also sent lots of photos and even videos. Everything was in order when we got home and we will happily book with her again.”

“Alyson watched my cat when I was out of town for a long weekend and was great! Teddy was happy and well fed when I came home. The process was seamless and Alyson clearly knew what she was doing given she has cats of her own. She also sent great pics of Teddy which helped me missing him!”

“Kristina was amazing! She took great care of my dog coco for the day! She eased my anxiety and was super sweet! She sent me pictures and videos throughout the day to update me. Coco would love to come back in the future!”

“Winnie is incredibly kind and thoughtful. She took the time to learn about my dog, Zoe, before even meeting her, which I really appreciated. Zoe immediately felt comfortable with Winnie — she played with her and even laid next to her during their time together, which says a lot! Winnie provided regular updates, which gave me great peace of mind. I would absolutely love to have Winnie watch Zoe again whenever I’m not able to. Highly recommend!”

About: I genuinely love spending time with animals and making them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I have previous experience through Wag as well as years of personal pet care experience. I’m patient, attentive, and understand that every pet has different needs and personalities. I also make sure owners feel updated and reassured with photos and communication throughout the stay. I have a flexible schedule, so boarding naturally fits into my daily routine. When I’m caring for a pet in my home, I plan my day around their needs,feeding, walks, playtime, and attention, so they feel comfortable and cared for. I like keeping a calm and consistent environment so pets can settle in and feel at home. I provide a calm and safe home environment and follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding, potty breaks, walks, and playtime. I live near a trail, so if approved by the owner, I can take dogs on walks there for exercise and enrichment. I always tailor care to each pet’s needs and comfort level, and I make sure they feel supervised, cared for, and at ease while staying with me. I also provide regular photo and message updates so owners feel connected and reassured.
“My pup had the best time at Elizabeth’s place! Made some new buddies and got spoiled like a little prince 🤴✨ haha. Definitely coming back — Elizabeth is super reliable and treats your fur baby like her own!”


“I couldn't be happier with Juan's pet-sitting service! He not only took excellent care of Conchita but also went the extra mile by sending adorable photos throughout the day, providing peace of mind. Juan's professionalism and genuine love for animals make him the ideal pet sitter. Five stars without a doubt!”

About: I've been taking care of dogs for over 10 years, including walking, overnight sitting and checking in to give exercise and feeding. I have a soft spot for dogs! I am available most days, evenings, including weekends, so I have a lot of free time to play with your dogs and take care of your kitties! I have a very large, completely fenced in yard. It has a huge area to run and I don't even mind if your dog likes to dig! It is completely secure, has open space to run as well as plenty of shade if needed.

“Krystal is the best! She makes our dog Thomas feel right at home. He wouldn’t even get in the car at first when we picked him up. Thank you Krystal for giving us such a peace of mind!”

About: I have been a life long dog lover. I grew up on a ranch with many animals which is where my love if animals started. I have always been the go-to person for friends and families who need help dog sitting while they are away. I have experience and background clearance through Riverside County Sheriffs Animal Services as a volunteer and dog foster. When your pet is in my care, they will be treated as my own with love and structure. I am a full time teleworker. I am home with my own dog daily. I am able to tend to the dog’s needs anytime and regularly take short lunch walks to manage energy. I have a fenced yard and multiple kennels in the home, if needed. I prefer to have dogs that can be comfortable in the space without being in a kennel, but it is available if the pup prefers a kennel. If I am caring for the pet in another home, regular check-ins in a scheduled basis.
About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was 7 years old, and I’m a true lifelong dog lover. My own precious pup passed away last year, and with my home now a little too quiet, I’m here to give your dog all the love, attention, and companionship they deserve. I speak fluent “dog,” give elite-level belly rubs, and I will absolutely tell your pup they’re a good boy or girl at least 200 times a day. Your dog will be cared for, talked to, spoiled with affection, and treated like family. I’m a retired PE teacher who’s home daily, which means your dog gets my full attention and care all day long. Every now and then, my grandkids come over so I can spoil them just as much as I spoil the dogs—but don’t worry, they’re gentle, respectful, and love animals too. Your dog will be treated like family here. ❤️ I have a large, fully fenced backyard with plenty of room to explore, plus a pool area that stays secure at all times. My grandkids visit occasionally, and they’re gentle, respectful, and absolutely love animals—so your pup will always be in a friendly, caring environment. I treat every dog like part of the family and make sure they get all the love, attention, and spoiling they deserve. ❤️
About: My passion for animals began when I was a young child. Being able to turn my love for animals into something tangible has been a dream come true. I was able to start my pet sitting experience 25 years ago and hoping to continue to add many more years! My range with experience includes rodents to dogs. If your pet has special food requirements, I can be of service . I’ve stayed over at clients homes to offer pet care. I’ve had fur babies stay overnight at my home. I’ve also housed day camps at my home. I enjoy taking fur babies on walks, and to local parks. I don’t mind taking fur babies in the car. Feel free to ask for more details on services I may have forgotten to mention! I am available Monday-Sunday all day. During the regular school year, I would need to be available to drop my kids off for school and pick them up. I am a doting pet mommy of 8 indoor kitties and 1 doggie. They all have access to whatever tickles their fancy. There is always ample water available at all times. Cats graze all day so food bowls are placed around for them to get to but high enough the dog cannot get to it. My pets and the pets of my clients have been able to sleep where ever the want (couch, cat trees, chairs, beds, etc). We are a super loving family and really love having fur babies around. We hope to welcome yours! One final note, I don’t allow my dog or the fur babies of my clients to stay outside overnight . Everyone is tucked inside for the night. When I need to step away from my home, I will typically ask the echo dot to play music for background noise.

“Im so happy with Megan ! She sent me updates on my dog My dog bear is a bit uncertain when meeting new people but at the end he allowed himself to be pet! And my husband said he looked very happy and satisfied! I will be using Megan services again!!! Thank you so much”

“Naydamar was super friendly and very patient with my dog. He is super shy around new people and she took her time with him. She sent photos and a video of his time with her and he looked like he was having fun. Her dog Milo is super friendly and probably made it an easier transition for my dog. Cooper can’t wait for another play date.”

About: I have a deep love and respect for every pet I care for. I adopted a sick puppy, and through patience and nurturing, he has blossomed into a beloved member of my family. This experience has taught me the profound bond that can develop between a pet and their caregiver, highlighting the importance of kindness and understanding in every interaction. I’ve also gained experience by showing care and compassion to animals in need around me, making sure they feel safe and comfortable. Each animal has its own unique personality and needs, and I strive to create a warm and welcoming environment for them all. My commitment to treating every pet with compassion ensures they feel loved and secure while in my care. I work remotely as a freelancer, which gives me the flexibility to integrate pet care into my daily routine seamlessly. This allows me plenty of time to spend with furry friends, playing, cuddling, and ensuring they receive the love and attention they deserve. My schedule enables me to provide a nurturing and engaging environment, ensuring that every pet feels comfortable and cared for throughout the day. When caring for pets in my home or a client's home, I prioritize their safety and comfort above all else. I follow their food schedule diligently to ensure they maintain a healthy routine. Engaging with pets through playtime and interactive activities is essential, as it keeps them stimulated and happy. Since I do not have pets of my own, I can provide a safe and distraction-free environment for them. Living in an apartment allows me to easily take them for walks outside in green areas, where they can explore and enjoy some fresh air. If needed, I can safely crate pets to provide them with a secure space to relax. My home is a welcoming environment filled with love and attention, ensuring every pet feels safe and at ease. Building trust is key, and I take the time to understand each pet's unique personality and needs, creating a positive experience for both them and their owners.
“Casey is amazing with my 6 month old Maltipoo. He has so much energy but she is so patient with him and is very respectful of my home. I’ve been booking walks with Casey for the last couple of weeks and she is always on time. She answers my phone calls and always takes lots of pictures during their walks.”

Caring for my dogs has given me valuable experience in understanding different temperaments and energy levels, making it natural for me to extend that same level of dedication and attention to other pets I care for.

About: I’ve cared for animals ranging from baby bunnies to horses, so I understand that every pet has different needs, personalities, and routines. While in college, I helped care for a stranger’s baby bunny for multiple nights on many occasions, making sure it stayed healthy, comfortable, and properly cared for. I also have experience around horses, which taught me patience, responsibility, and how important it is to stay calm and attentive with animals. Because of that background, caring for dogs and cats feels very natural to me. I’m comfortable handling feeding schedules, walks, playtime, cleaning up, and giving pets lots of attention so they feel safe while you’re away. I’ve also been dog-sitting for relatives since I was a child, so being around pets and helping care for them has always been a normal part of my life. I genuinely enjoy bonding with animals and making sure they’re not just watched, but actually cared for. Pet care fits well into my routine as a college student because I currently have a flexible schedule and a good amount of free time outside of classes and studying. I’m able to consistently make time for feeding, walks or playtime, cleaning, and giving attention to pets throughout the day. Having open availability also allows me to adapt to unexpected needs and stay dependable with daily care responsibilities. When I pet sit, I make sure pets are cared for in a safe, clean, and comfortable environment. I follow the owner’s instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any specific routines the pet is used to. I pay attention to the pet’s behavior and comfort level to help them feel relaxed while their owner is away. I also make sure the home stays clean and secure by keeping doors and gates closed, removing anything unsafe, and maintaining a calm environment for the pet.
About: I have been around pets all my life and have two spoiled and well trained cats. I am inspired by Jackson Galaxy the cat expert. Hello! I am currently working part time in the morning so plenty of time on the weekends and weekday afternoons to accommodate your pet’s needs. I like to brush my own pets daily, feed them after play time to satisfy primal instincts, and observe and respect their boundaries to increase feelings of security in my pets.

Our Labrador has past 14 years of age and looks very healthy and happy. I love having dogs and taking care of them. Pet care will fit in my daily routine perfectly because I love dogs. I love hanging out with them it gives me peace and comfort. Taking breaks and looking after them is inbuilt in me since I was little so anything related to dogs will always make me happy. I will take care of the clients pers in their home by their own rules. If they have set ground rules for their pets I will follow them strictly. I understand that every pet owner has special ground rules for their pets so it is my duty to respect them and follow them as per their request.

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.

About: It's time to put some steps on your pet's Fitbit. I'm a college student home for the summer and need an excuse to spend some time outside of the stacks and with something cuter than my term papers. I have a fenced in backyard that is moderately large and ready to run in, an air-conditioned house that we can sit and watch the news together (everyone likes an informed doggo), and I'm ready to let your dogs walk me (I could use the fresh air). I have cared for fluffy faces most of my life, and am an active volunteer with the Nevada Humane Society for those doggos without a good home. Animals have always been something of a passion of mine, which is why I'm majoring in Ecology to become a Wildlife Biologist. While your doggo might have lost its call to the wild, your animals needs and welfare are very important to me.
About: I have had a dog previously and would like to offer my services in pet care. Home is occupied by only me, and am willing to offer as much attention as your pet may need. I work a 9-5 Monday-Friday. I am able to provide services and boarding around those hours. Quiet, clean home with enough room for pet to have space. I have a large patio space for additional outside time as needed. I'm in downtown Riverside and live on the 6th floor. I have a large attached patio which is good.forany additional outdoor time. Thanks!

“Emily and Sam, thank you so much. Having Snowball stay with your beautiful family was such a wonderful experience. If I could leave more than 5 stars I would! Thank you again Whenever we come back through your area we will definitely book again!”


“Martin and his son were excellent. Communication was consistent, and they kept us updated with pictures, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. It was clear our dogs were being cared for with the same level of attention and affection we would give them ourselves. Our dogs came back happy, relaxed, and clearly had a great time — especially being able to interact with their dogs as well. Martin and his son were responsive, reliable, and genuinely caring. We’re very grateful they were available on a weekend and would absolutely trust them again.”

“Kathleen and Penny are always so welcomingwhen we arrive. My fur baby Lexi is happy and well taken care of when she stays. If Lexi went need boarding Kathleen will always be our first option.”

“Megan was great with my young dog. And she went over and above all expectations since mine was recently out of a shelter and therefore unpredictable. Thank you so much Megsn.”


“Juan was amazing and flexible… I really appreciated his service and that of Rover. It was my first time using the app and saved me in a pinch. I had to fly and found Juan who was available last minute and came through. My brother dipped off and picked up the dog and said nothing but good things about Juan. Thanks buddy… definitely recommend and will be using him and Rover in the future.”

“Alexandra was amazing! She was super flexible with a last minute request and very communicative during the day with photos and updates. We felt like our dog was very well cared for 😊”

“Nutan & Garrett were great! They were fast responders & easily accessible. I was sent pics & videos throughout my dog's 9 day stay & he always looked so happy in them. He also came home happy & looked well taken care of. He was even walked & given a bath even though I didn't ask them to do that, which was great! I'm always careful with who I leave my dog with because he's a big Doberman, but they did a great job with him.”

About: Pet care is not just a job for me but a full time career. I have completed pet care coursework; a history caring for those with special needs, internal connections with PetSmart Inc professionals, and daily care for my beloved 5 dogs & 5 cats. I’m currently available weekdays and weekends willing to accommodate client’s busy schedules. I have graduated from school and ready to work full time caring for domesticated animal breeds. I have a very clean and spacious suburban home with one small indoor cat and one small dog. No children. Smoke free. Outdoor security camera present. *** I am very comfortable working in all types of client environments.

“This was my first time using rover and I was very nervous using it. Dorcas was so sweet with Mookie and shared updates across the day and pictures. It was what my mommy heart needed. Mookie enjoyed the walks and dog park.”

“Jeanne took amazing care of my dog, Bruno, and I’m so grateful. She treated him like her own and made me feel completely at ease. I especially appreciated how she kept me updated, even when I was busy and couldn’t always respond. I would absolutely trust her again and highly recommend her!”

“April is an outstanding choice we found her last minute passed on the meet & greet prior to dropping off pets and happy to report she came through ❤️ we will definitely return and we definitely recommend her one thousand percent!”

“Very helpful! Especially when you underestimate how much dog food to bring. Very friendly! My Belle didn’t want to leave. I highly recommend her as I was.very satisfied with her service!”

“Absolutely ideal. I think my dogs enjoyed their night away from home as much as we enjoyed our get-away. Parnian sent so many pictures of our dogs lounging, eating and playing. I feel like she loved them like her own dogs. I hope they get the chance to stay with her again. Highly recommend!”

“I had a great experience, especially as a first time user of the app. She was very communicative throughout the process and check-ins. My little pup seemed to be enjoying his time . I would definitely cook again”

“Jeffrey was great. While I was on vacation, He kept me updated every single day with pictures and videos, which gave me a peace of mind knowing my pup was happy and safe. It truly felt like my dog was in the best hands possible. I’ll definitely be reaching out to him again in the future!”

“My dog has stayed with Susan before and was happy to see her again. She is so great with him - he always gets walked and feels loved. We got a picture or video every day and appreciated it so much. Thank you Susan!”
