6. Nicholas B.

“Nicholas was great with our house full of animals. They're a high energy and can be a lot to handle but he was a natural with them all. We came home from our trip to find happy, cared for, and relaxed animals. One of our cats who is notoriously shy and cautious of new people took to him immediately!”


7. Samara M.


“Samara was fantastic!!! This was the first time using the River app and. basically having a stranger come stay at my house, so naturally I was a bit cautious but i couldn't have asked for a better pet sitter!! I felt very comfortable leaving her alone at my house and caring for my 2 best buddies 🐶🐱. My dog is big and intimidating and Samara had no issues with her at all, they quickly became best buds 💗. I will definetely use her again and would recommend Samara 100% 😊. Thank you Samara”


8. Stella W.

When our flight got delayed, she even stayed a little longer to make sure our dog got a later potty break Highly recommend!”

14. Gabriella S.

“Gabriella was a life saver helping us to fill a care gap for our pups while we were away for our honeymoon. She scheduled a meet and greet right away and was very communicative during her time with them despite us being out of the country no less. Our boys are a rather large handful but Gabriella was more than willing to be firm with them. It was clear they were well loved and cared for and we couldn't recommend her more for your own pups!”

18. Darrean J.
“You couldn't be leaving your pet in better hands! Darrean is one of the most responsible people I know. She has watched both of my cats, and I always come home to the happiest, healthiest kitties. She gave them constant attention and provided plenty of updates to help ease my anxiety. I've also watched Darrean raise both her own dog Apollo, and her cat Kona, and she does a fantastic job handling both high-energy and low-energy pets that may need different levels of care!”


19. Rave G.
About: My first family dog came into my life when I was 6 years old, and I have loved and lived with dogs ever since. I love all shapes and sizes, and have a special fondness for the big and fluffy types. In addition to caring for my own dogs over the years, I have dog-sit for friends any time I had an opportunity. I can offer walks, backyard playtime, and snuggles on the couch (with mom or dad's permission, of course!) I know many dogs and their families have a certain routine that they don't like to deviate from, and I always do my best to keep your dogs on the schedule they're used to. I get to make my own hours for my day job, so I have lots of flexibility! I'm available mornings, weekends, some evenings, and most holidays. I come to a pet owner's home with the awareness that I am a stranger encroaching on your pet's space, and will treat your home and your fur babies with the upmost respect. I am great at following detailed instructions to a T and will adapt depending on what helps your pets feel the most comfortable.


20. Ray T.

“Ray comes highly recommended after his stay with our cat and dog! He is an effective communicator, quick to respond and easy to plan with. He took excellent care of our pets and our home and sent us updates while we were gone. Both pets seemed happy and at ease when we returned. Would definitely recommend Ray to anyone in need of a sitter.”
