Top rated Riverside house sitters
“Arantxa was absolutely amazing with my dog who can be standoff-ish. Communication with her was quick and easy, she sent frequent updates including lots of pictures and videos. My pup warmed up to her very quickly. She’s kind and caring and I would recommend her to any of my friends and family.”
“I can't speak highly enough of Christine! She was attentive, communicative, and overall just such an amazing sitter for our pets. She went above and beyond to make our pets feel at home, safe, and loved. We will also reach out to Christine to watch our babies and you should too!”
“Erica was an excellent house sitter for my cats! She made sure they each were administered their medications on time and were given lots of attention and playtime. She was responsive, sent photos and videos, and took great care of my house as well. I cannot recommend her enough, my kitty cats were in great hands!”
“Shanda is always so amazing with our dog Wilbur. She goes above and beyond to make sure he is happy and well cared for. I really appreciate how communicative she is. She asks great questions and shares regular updates with lots of photos/videos. We really can’t speak more highly of Shanda!”
“We love having Ana stay at our house and watch our cats and dogs. She is the first sitter who has been able to get our shy kitty to come out and let her pet him - she is a cat whisperer! She always treats out home with a lot of respect and we come home to find everything just as we left it. She also takes the cutest pics of our crew to share with us while we're away. We couldn't be happier!”
“Matt was so great to work with! He was incredibly nice and communicative, and I could tell our boy was in safe hands. He sent frequent pics and updates. Would definitely book again.”
“We found Elizabeth through our neighbors who have used her several times. We have now booked her twice for weekends away to come house sit and watch our two beloved golden retrievers. She checks in daily, sends pictures, and I can always tell the pups are well loved while we are away. She even washes the guest room sheets and remakes the bed before we get back in town - very thoughtful! Will definitely continue to book her for future visits.”
“Shawn was great with our pup! Our dog Stella takes two different medications and can be a handful, but Shawn seemed so prepared and we had no worries on our trip 😊. Thank you Shawn for being so great!!!”
“Victoria was amazing !! She left our house so clean and communicated so well with us. It was raining when Victoria was watching our pup and our pup gets really anxious with storms. And Victoria handled everything so well. We knew our pup was in good hands. Thanks Victoria!”
“Arturo was extremely caring with Remy and super communicative with me during my trip. Very happy I chose him to watch my baby while I was out of town.”
“Yulia does such a fantastic job with our baby (10 yr. old, corgi mix "Wally") and watching our home. Excellent care, excellent communication.”
“Misha was incredible! He communicated so well, took both my dogs on their daily separate walks, and sent a ton of pictures. My dogs normally seem anxious when I get home from being out of town but they seemed so chill & I could tell they got plenty of attention and activity while I was gone. I will definitely be requesting to book with him again next time I need a sitter or drop in visits!”
“Michael was great. Provided updates with pictures every few hours and answered right away any time I had a question. Would definitely rebook in the future.”
“Grace did an amazing job taking care of our pups and house! She was super communicative and went above and beyond with her care of the dogs and house. We felt super happy coming home and would definitely book again.”
“Ashna & Dwayne were very helpful, kind, and respectful to Kuiper and our house while they stayed there! They sent updates and communicated well!”
“Kimberly really gave us peace of mind leaving Gil with a sitter overnight for the first time. He is an anxious and reactive dog but seemed to be at ease for the visit. Would definitely re-book with Kimberly!”
About: After about a decade of animal care experience and working at kennels, I can take care of anyone's non-human family! I've had handling experience with pets of many temperaments and personalities, and I've worked with many furry friends requiring specialized care due to illness and age. I'm always studying up as we learn more about the incredible creatures we share this world with because I'm serious about giving animals the best care we can provide via understanding their behavior, biological needs, and individual personalities so even animals with unique challenges will get the top-shelf quality care they deserve. I also enjoy getting some exercise, I'd love a new walking buddy if your baby needs to move those legs! Saturday-Tuesday I'm available at 11AM-10PM. Wed-Fri I'm available from 9AM-10PM If I'm already house sitting, these times are not as important, of course. These times do apply to walks and drop-ins. You may contact me outside of these times. I may not respond until my available hours, but that doesn't mean it's not possible. My approach focuses on utilizing ethology to keep your best friend comfortable and build trust. As long as you provide me with a walk-through and detailed instructions on important specifications, I can get the job done. (ie, Luna needs x dose of epileptic medication at y time with swiss cheese, Bear resource guards food and his bed so don't do z while he's in his crate, etc.) I will also provide photos and updates, log feeding, and should something important come up or I need clarification, I will reach out. Trust is the foundation of all relationships, human and animal. I believe building trust with clients is as important as it is in working with their pets.
“My pups love Angie! She took great care of them, giving them lots of love and even ear meds.”
“Jewel was the perfect dog sitter and guess! She stayed at my house to take care of my senior dog during my trip for 4 to 5 days and she was respectful of the home and took good care of Jasper and was communicative. Will definitely recommend and hire her again!”
“Cori has been an awesome sitter for Luna Belle. She made me feel very comfortable being away, feeling my furbaby would be in good care. She provided timely communications, check ins and photos and feedback. Great experience, a huge Thank you from our paws & hearts :)”
