“Chelsey was the best sitter we could ask for. She was very sweet and responsive, sent us tons of pictures while we were gone and made sure we had all of the updates for our babies. We will definitely be using her in the future for all of our pet sitting needs! Thank you again Chelsey for being such a kind soul and taking great care of our babies!”

About: Hey y'all, I’m Erica, and I have loved animals my whole life. As a kid, I had pets and would rescue any broken thing in my path, and as an adult, I have fostered, trained, and rehomed many kitties and puppies. I started working for Rover a few years ago and really enjoy being that safe, relaxing place where your pets can feel like they're home. Boarding is my specialty, offering a peaceful country retreat where pets can enjoy plenty of love, attention, and room to unwind. I also offer day-care, drop-in visits and walks for pets who prefer to stay in their own space but still need care, company, and exercise. I’ve spent lots of time with professional trainers and am always learning new ways to keep pets happy, well-behaved, and thriving. Whether your pet needs a relaxing getaway, a midday walk, or a check-in while you’re away, they’ll be in great hands. I welcome friendly pets who enjoy a relaxed and loving space. Let’s make their stay a great one! I work remotely as a writer and have a flexible schedule. At home, I have two cats, Gremlin and Salem, and two friendly dogs, Bambi and Buddy. This setup allows me to provide plenty of attention and care to the pets I board or visit. I love getting to know each pet’s unique personality—whether they’re laid-back loungers or always on the move! I’m happy to care for pets of all ages and activity levels, whether in their own home or mine, depending on what suits them best. My home provides a safe and comfortable environment with a fenced-in yard and ample space to run, play, or simply relax by the lake.

“Kylie was great, I booked her for my mom’s two dogs on short notice while our family had to be gone for a funeral. She came over before we left and met the dogs and sent lots of pictures while we were gone.”

“We really loved Elizabeth! The dogs, as well! One of my dogs, who is not affectionate with his kisses gave her a few licks! I am pretty sure she is the first person to get licks on the first visit. I know my dogs are in good hands with her!”

“Cheryle was so sweet and kind and our babies absolutely adored her! Our Satie smothered her with sweet doggy kisses!!! I highly recommend her!!!”

“Tristan was awesome! We have a 16 year old large dog Gigi who can be skittish with new people and Tristan was patient and kind and won Gigi over. I highly recommend Tristan!”

Dayna M.

“Michael did a great job! My dog’s love him! When I’m away, Duke only eats for him. He gives them baths also. Sometimes I’m gone working 3-4 days a week. I know that they are in good hands. That’s always a relief for me. My 3 dogs are so happy to see him. He has been watching them for 4 years now!! Thank you!”

“Chealsea did a great job walking our two dogs this weekend. One dog is high energy and the other is blind. Chealsea had no problem with them. In addition, she was flexible when we needed to add another check in last minute as well as make a time change for the walk. I would recommend her and plan on using her again.”

Susan S.

“Kristen did such an amazing job caring for our dogs while we were away. Our plans changed slightly and she was very accommodating and responsive to help however needed, which we appreciated so much. Will use her anytime we can and highly recommend, thank you!”

About: I have personally had pets since the day I was born, mostly dogs and cats, but also a snake and hamster, I started pet sitting when I was 14 and have experience with caring for dogs, cats, reptiles, and horses. I know that your pet is a part of the family with a routine, personality, and individual needs so I am very conscientious about owner advice and instructions when it comes to their fur (or not so furry) baby. I love spending time with animals and where I live I can not unfortunately have dogs (I do have two cats though) so I feel the Oppertunity to walk dogs and do check ins on animals would be a fantastic way to get to spend time around them again. I currently work part-time, so I have plenty of availability throughout the day and week to give your pets the time, care, and attention they deserve. Depending on the energy and type of animal as well as owner instructions I adjust my care schedule to thier needs. I either do drop in visits to a clients home or house sit in their home.

About: Have had pets since I was a child. Always dogs, sometimes cats, reptiles, rodents, or fish... often combinations of more than one of the above I have a flexible work schedule that allows me to give your pets as much attention as they want. Can also take entire days of from work to focus on pets as needed. I have a fenced yard in a quiet neighborhood with a laid-back pug and an aloof cat who likes to hide in the bedroom (she has a lock that lets her in while keeping dogs out) when strangers are about.

“Sherri was absolutely fantastic! Our Poppy is still so small and requires a great deal of care and attention, and Sherri was exceptional in providing us updates, the best pics, and most importantly loving our Poppy in our absence. And dog owner would be so fortunate to have Sherri care for their fur babies! She is the best!”

About: I've been an animal lover my entire life and have experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages and personalities. In addition to caring for my own pets and those of friends and family, I worked as a veterinary receptionist, where I learned how to recognize signs of illness, communicate with pet owners, and help support pets with a variety of medical needs. I'm comfortable following detailed care instructions, administering many common medications, and providing updates so you can feel confident your pet is in good hands while you're away. I understand that every pet is different, and I strive to provide patient, dependable care tailored to their individual needs. Whether your pet loves playtime, quiet companionship, or simply sticking to their normal routine, my goal is to help them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. Caring for animals is something I genuinely enjoy and make time for every day. My flexible schedule allows me to provide reliable care, whether that's walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, medication administration, or simply spending quality time with your pet. I work to keep pets on their normal routine and provide regular updates so owners can have peace of mind while they're away. When caring for pets in a client's home, I strive to keep their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding, medications, exercise, and household preferences. I take time to get to know each pet's personality and comfort level so they feel safe and cared for while their family is away. Safety is always my top priority. I double-check doors, gates, leashes, and feeding instructions, and I monitor pets for any signs of illness, injury, or unusual behavior. With my background working in a veterinary office, I understand the importance of attention to detail and prompt communication if concerns arise. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners can have peace of mind knowing their pets are happy, comfortable, and receiving the care they deserve.

About: I’ve always taken care of pets since I was about 7 years old! My family has had dogs, cats, birds, all types of lizards, snakes, geckos, tortoises, hamsters, fish, and even farm animals. I love to spend time and make sure everything is well taken care of, so you don’t have to! Feel free to reach out to me at anytime and I will respond as fast as possible!! I can care for your pets at any time of the week! I am a full time student, but i do my work online! So any time of the day is perfect:) I currently live in an apartment, but there is a dog park and plenty of room to walk them by my house! I have plenty of extra leashes, toys, and collars/harnesses, so if one breaks or anything, I can replace it!

“This is my second time booking Kayla to watch my dog, and she’s truly amazing! The first time I was out for vacation and booked Kayla to watch my dog overnight for a few days. She was the first River sitter I used, and I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter! She is incredibly attentive to my dog’s needs and gave him the right amount of love and cuddles. She cleaned my apartment and sent several updates on my puppy while I was away which made me feel so much better about being away from my dog. I booked her again for a drop in visit and will be booking again as needed! Can’t recommend enough!”
