House Sitting West Riverside

About: Hi! I’ve spent the last 11 years as a Paramedic and, while I love helping people…I love helping animals too! I’m a lifelong animal lover with a deep passion for caring for pets of all kinds. Ever since I was a child, animals have been a central part of my life. My family often took in dogs and cats in need, and I even bottle-fed orphaned puppies and kittens many times, helping them grow strong and healthy. Those early experiences shaped my calm, patient, and nurturing approach to animal care. Being a Paramedic has taught me how to remain calm under pressure. Also, that no one person is the same and will respond the same. Every person is unique. I believe animals are the exact same way! I believe every pet deserves to feel safe, loved, and understood—especially while their family is away. Whether your pet(s) are energetic and playful, shy and reserved, or somewhere in between, I take the time to understand their unique personality and adjust my care to meet their needs. From walks and playtime to quiet companionship and cuddles, I’m here to make sure they feel comfortable and cared for. I’m dependable, attentive, and highly communicative. I understand how important it is to trust someone with a beloved family member, so I always prioritize reliability, punctuality, and clear updates. I’m happy to send photos/videos, and messages so you can feel confident and at ease while you’re away. We can even FaceTime! Although I’m currently unable to have pets of my own where I live, that has only deepened my appreciation for every opportunity I get to spend time with animals. Caring for pets is something I truly love, and I treat every one as if they were my own. I would be honored to care for your pet and provide the same love, attention, and respect I would want for my own. 🐶😽 What I Offer: - Dog & cat walking (structured or relaxed walks based on your pet’s needs) - Drop-in visits for feeding, playtime, and companionship - Pet sitting with attentive, in-home care - Care for dogs & cats of all temperaments 💛 My Care Style: - Patient and gentle approach for all personalities - Focus on safety, comfort, and routine - Calm presence for anxious or shy pets - Active engagement for energetic pets - Always respectful of your home and instructions 📸 Communication Promise You’ll always receive: - Regular photo updates - Clear check-ins after visits - Fast responses to messages - Honest communication about your pet’s well-being 🌟 Why Pet Parents Choose Me: I don’t just “watch” pets—I genuinely care for them. My goal is to make your time away stress-free by ensuring your pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for at all times. That way, you can feel stress-free too!

I understand that many pets feel most secure in their own space, and I’m committed to providing attentive, reliable care while also treating your home with the utmost respect. My goal is to keep your pet(s) happy, comfortable, and well cared for until you return. Your pets safety, comfort, and well-being are always my highest priorities.

I will carefully follow your pets normal routine, including feeding schedules, fresh water, litter box maintenance, proper poop scoop and disposal, playtime, medication (if needed), and any special care instructions you provide. I know that pets thrive on consistency, so I do my best to keep their daily routine as normal and stress-free as possible while you’re away. I also treat every client’s home with the same care and respect that I would my own. I’ll keep your home clean, secure, and well cared for during my stay, while providing your pet(s) with companionship, affection, and plenty of attention based on their individual personality and comfort level. My goal is for you to enjoy your time away with confidence, knowing your pet(s) are safe, loved, and receiving dependable, compassionate care every single day & with every visit.

“Daphne took great care of our dog, who can be slow to warm up to new people. She was very flexible when we had a flight cancellation and made sure he got an extra walk since we were coming home later than planned. We arrived home to a happy dog (he got lots of exercise!) and a clean house.”

“Caitlin did great! I left her quite the challenge, a 5 and a half month old terrier mix pup rescue that loves to nibble:). She managed to take good care of my fur baby (updates every day with pictures to boot!) AND looked after my house while I was away in Alaska for over 2 weeks! She has a big heart and is extremely trustworthy. If you need someone to go above and beyond with your pet look no further!”

Adam R.

“Melissa took great care of our dog Luna while we were out of the country. Luna took to Melissa right away during our first meeting with her and we felt very comfortable leaving Luna in her care. Will definitely use Melissa’s help again in the future!”

Riyaz S.

“This was my first time ever using Rover so I was a little hesitant in having someone stay overnight at my house and watch my three dogs but Caroline did an amazing job. Caroline sent pictures of the dogs multiple times a day with updates of how they were doing which made me feel very comfortable. She also left my house extremely clean when I got back from my trip. I would definitely rebook Caroline to watch my house and dogs and definitely recommend her!”

Norman S.

“This was the first time leaving my pup alone, but Cheryl eased my mind every step of the way. Not only were my babies clearly well cared for, but she left our apartment in better shape than we’d left it. Highly recommended!! She definitely went above and beyond!!”

Liz D.

“This was our first time using Rover for our new dog. Everything was very professional and the app was easy to use. Chloe was great and gave us daily updates and photos during our time away. We will definitely use her again!”

Vicki B.

“What amazed me about Ryan was how organized, knowledgeable and self-sufficient he was. He even took notes at the meet and greet! We quickly concluded that we and our pups were in very good hands!(”

Susan G.

“Macie watches my Lulu regularly, and is always wonderful with her. She keeps her company, gives her meds, and sends me photos. I will always rebook with Macie!”

Dalma B.

“We love Carly! She is a great communicator. Is extra attentive and loving with our pets. She sent sweet photos and messages while we were gone. She is responsible and thoughtful and our pets love her!”

About: I’ve been taking care of animals for as long as I can remember! Dogs, cats, guinea pigs, turtles, you name it, I’ve had at least one! I’ve worked as a professional dog walker when I lived in Boston, dog walked and house sat while living in Austin, and currently care for pets of neighbors, friends and family. I’m an uber driver with open availability to come swing by whenever needed! I am up early in the morning, and go to bed late at night! I’m centrally located, so I can be to your pet in minutes! I take caring for pets very seriously. I love to provide a loving and caring demeanor while being quiet and patient. Animals need to trust their caregiver, and I find it very important for the pet to know they can rely on me to care for them. Having a dog that requires a lot of care and extra watching, I like to treat all pets as if they are my own

“Jessica continues to be our favorite go-to and is there for us even when travel plans go awry. After getting stranded in Houston for an extra night, Jessica was able to keep caring for Evangeline and Junebug, and made it so they were safe and comfortable until I got home. Jessica is the best!”

Lea D.

“Cody went above and beyond caring for my rabbit. She sent many pictures twice a day during the drop in visits and it helped me feel at ease while being away on a 10 day trip. I sent her long instructions and she followed them perfectly. There are not many sitters I have trusted with my pets, but she genuinely cares for animals and is 100% reliable, safe, and respectful.”

Margarida D.

“Ian did an absolutely wonderful job looking after my dog and cat. He sent pics and updates everyday! It really put my mind at ease to have updates like that. I will definitely be rebooking him again!”

Meagan T.

“Karen was so great !! She has great communication and I could tell in the pictures she sent that my pups were loved . She truly allowed us to enjoy our trip .”

I’ll care for your pets as if they were my own and will keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you’re away!

“Olivia was absolutely fantastic with Tully and Jasper while I was in Mexico this week! She kept me updated so well starting with the very first day, she sent pictures and videos and that peace of mind really allowed me to be able to enjoy my trip without constantly worrying about the dogs. I would 10/10 recommend and I certainly will be booking with her again!”
