“Ru is absolutely one of the best sitters I’ve ever met. She watched Nila for three days and was so patient and really cared and loved her like Nila was her own. She always kept me updated and sent me pictures throughout the days Nila stayed with her which was amazing. Really good vibes from her and her place! Would recommend to anyone needing a sitter for their pup!”
“Lauren was AWESOME! She provided pics and videos which was great since it was our first time with her. My fur baby was well taken care of and spoiled - even more than I spoil her. LOL! I loved my experience with Lauren and will definitely be back.”
“Dan was great! Super nice guy, he sent us updates with photos throughout our trip. He has a nice big home with the perfect open yard. His dog was so sweet and friendly, our dog made friends with her immediately and was a great companion. We would definitely hire Dan again.”
“I went out of town for a few days and left my dog Spark with Timothy. 10/10, I received pictures everyday and updates! Clean environment very professional and patient!! Spark definitely had a good time!!”
“Linda was amazing. She sent daily updates with pictures of the dogs. The updates made us feel comfortable knowing the dogs were doing so well. We will definately use Linda again in the future for our dog sitting needs!”
“Samantha and her bf were great with Luanne! Upon meeting, they and Lu got along right away. Samantha was very kind to keep us updated on their activities and how Lu was doing. I highly recommend and will be booking with her in the future. Thank you Samantha!”
“Leslie was fantastic and is Taco’s new best friend. She was responsive and provided frequent, fun updates. She was also flexible on pickup and drop off times and worked to accommodate our schedule. We highly recommend her!”
“My Mimi had a great time staying with Brittany. Great communication, she sent updates & pictures every day, followed instructions to make her feel as comfortable as possible. I can tell Mimi was in good hands. Will definitely be using her services again!”
“Katherine was excellent with our black lab! Even with a fairly short notice, she and her family welcomed her and took great care of her over the weekend. Would book again!”
“Tatyana helped us when we were in a pinch, selling our house so we needed the dogs to go elsewhere while it showed and we went on vacation. She clearly loves the dogs very much, and sends lots of photos to let you know how they are. She takes them for walks every couple of hours. The girls seem very relaxed there and when they come home. I trust that she will take really good care of them. The last time they went to her house it was a last minute request on my part for her to do doggy daycare while our movers were in the house. She offered to wash them for me so they would be clean for the long car ride we were about to embark on. She goes above and beyond!”
“Marina did a wonderful job caring for our dog. I feel like extra steps were taken to ensure she was comfortable, eating and sleeping well. Additionally, we received daily updates on the status, activity levels and pictures. We simply could not ask for a better caretaker while we travel.”
“We had a great first Rover experience with Molly and her dog Izzi. It was our first time leaving our dog for the weekend and Molly was perfect with our nervous dog, and with communication and sending pics. I know our dog felt much more at ease with the help of having Izzi around. We’ll definitely rebook with Molly & Izzi - highly recommend!”
“Susan was a wonderful caregiver to our Darla. She sent us messages with updates letting us know our girl was settling in nicely. She also made us aware of the extra TLC she gave Darla the first few hours as she acclimated to her home. This was our first time leaving Darla with someone outside of family and we are so grateful Susan was available and so sweet to our girl. We highly recommend her. She’s an excellent caregiver and comforter!”
About: Welcome to Riverside Park! My husband, Nick, and I have both been caring for animals since we were children. As educators, we have the flexibility to meet your pet's needs on your schedule. Whether your pet needs daily check it's, walks, or a place to stay while you're away, we are ready to accommodate! At our home, we have a small yard perfect for potty breaks and tug-o-war. We are also minutes away from the stunning Riverside Park, where our 2-year-old collie/shepherd mix, Fela (female, spayed), loves to get tuckered out on our daily walks. We can't wait to meet you and your pet! Let's find a time to see if it would be a good fit :) We are off for the summer, so we are able to work around your schedule! We are available for daily walks, feeding, check-ins, and boarding. Pick up and drop off available for a small fee. Please let us know ahead of time a little bit about your pet, including any special needs, so we can be prepared to care for them. We want both you and your pet to feel safe and comfortable! We want to respect your space and your pet's needs. For check-ins and walks, if your dog prefers not to have company, our dog Fela does not need to accompany us. However, it is still a good idea to arrange an initial meeting between us, you, and your pet to make sure everyone is comfortable. For boarding, please arrange a time for us and our dogs get introduce to one another to ensure our house is a good fit. You are welcome to come see our home to make sure it is safe for your furry friend, and/or we are happy to meet at the park first if that is more comfortable.

“Thank you for taking such great care of Lily. She was very happy!”
“Abby exceeded all expectations with taking care of my dog, Lambo. She provided daily updates with pictures of their walks and whatever they were up to each day. Lambo had the best time with Abby and I will definitely have her take care of him again.”
“Excellent care of our three pups and stellar communication. Updates and photos each day. Highly recommend. Looking forward to future stays for our dogs.”
“Dan is great! He watched our 3 year old golden retriever, Jerry, in his home for 3 nights, and we couldn’t have asked for a better environment for our pup. Jerry was able to play with another doggo, run around a fenced in backyard, and hang out with both Dan and his son. Dan was also an excellent communicator, and he took on our booking after a last second change in our travel plans. We will not hesitate to book with Dan again in the future. A+++”
