Hi, I'm George
I've spent years looking after other people's animals. Earning and maintaining the trust of pets and their owners is the most important part of the job to me. When someone hands me the keys to their home, I want them to do so with confidence.
“If you have cameras in the house, you can hear me singing to them, playing, petting, and talking to them about what's happening on the podcast we're listening to. If they want to lay on the floor, we will lay on the floor. If they have endless energy, I'll bring coffee and match them.”
George Sits is just me. When you book, I'm the one who shows up: no rotating staff, no stranger in your house, no wondering who's on the schedule this week. I'm insured, certified in pet CPR and first aid, and currently studying dog obedience training at Animal Behavior College.
Let me meet your seniors, your pets with special needs or mobility issues, your reactive dogs, and the cats who run your house. I can also help out with reptiles, chickens, pigs, waterfowl, and I am comfortable administering medication.

Why people pick George
Booking through an app sends whoever's available. This is different.
-
You get one person
Not a marketplace, not a rotating roster. The same face every visit, which matters enormously to an anxious dog and a wary cat.
-
You have his number
No support ticket, no in-app messaging. If something comes up at 9pm, you text George and George answers.
-
He's minutes away
Based right here in Riverside. If a storm rolls in or a flight gets cancelled, he's nearby, not across the county.
Don't take his word for it

Questions people ask
Are you insured?
Yes. George Sits carries comprehensive business insurance tailored to the services provided.
Are you CPR and First Aid certified?
Yes, and currently attending Animal Behavior College to earn certification in Dog Obedience Training.
Would you board at your house, or come to ours?
Yours. Most pets are far more comfortable in their own space, so George comes to you.
Can I mix and match services?
Absolutely. Services come in 15- and 30-minute increments, so you can add a 15-minute visit onto your dog's 30-minute walk to extend it.
What does an overnight include?
Doing his best to keep your pet's routine exactly as it is: walking, feeding, medications, sleeping in the bed.
What do you actually do with our pets while you're there?
Whatever keeps them interested, comfortable and on routine. Playing, petting, singing to them, talking to them about the podcast. If they want space, they get space. If they have endless energy, George brings coffee and matches them. The whole job is minimizing stress for both of you.
Do you care for senior and special needs pets?
Yes. Medication, mobility help, and plenty of experience with reactive pets.
What about reptiles, birds and farm animals?
Yes. George grew up with snakes and chickens, has recently taken an interest in waterfowl, and is happy with pigs too. He's also comfortable administering medication.
Will you check mail, take the bins out, water plants?
Yes, no extra charge, within reason. Just share the schedule for each task. And if the mailbox is overflowing or the neighbors have their cans at the street, he'll just take care of it.
Is there a deposit to book?
Only for overnight stays. Single visits and walks need no deposit at all. For overnights it is 10%, due when you request the service. It holds your place in the calendar and is applied to your invoice. It's automatically refunded if the request isn't approved, but is otherwise nonrefundable.
What's the cancellation policy?
Cancelling within 48 hours of the booking means 50% of the invoice for that stay is charged automatically.
How will you update me?
Through Time To Pet, which handles scheduling and invoices. You'll get an email every time George visits, and one to three times a day during overnight stays. There's an app, but it's entirely optional.
Going away soon?
Send a text with your dates and who needs looking after. That's the whole process.
