3. Burgandy M.
“Burgandy is an amazing pet sitter. She has watched my 5 dogs and 2 birds on a few occasions, and they are always happy, loved, and well-cared for. It is great to be able to leave town and have total confidence that your dogs are being cared for by someone who loves them as if they were her own pets.”

About: Since I’ve been alive we have never not had a dog in the house. I’ve grown up loving them and even spending my days as a young child volunteering at animal shelters to spend more time with them. As a college student I currently can not keep my own dog, but I enjoy spending time with them when ever I can! I will respect you, your property, and your pets and give them the best care I can! I currently work a 6-2 schedule, but I live at home with my parents and a little sister so there is always some one around to care for your dog and give them love if needed. I’m out of work early and typically home for the rest of the night. I currently live at home with my mother and father and a little sister who all love dogs. We have 4 of our own who love to socialize, are very friendly, and spend time with people and other dogs. We have a large side yard and back yard for them to play and run around along with a dog park lest then 2 miles away.
5. Carter G.
About: I've had many dogs growing up. I watch my brother's dog's when they go on vacation and it's always fun to have a dog around. I'm a small business owner so I make my own schedule. I live in Midland and work in Bay City so I can do anywhere in-between the two. Doing this on the side for fun because I love dogs and to stay active during the winter. Your dog will get a lot of exercise and will never be left alone. Will update you with pictures of the fun me and your pet are having.
6. Alexis H.
“Alexis was great to work with. She was thorough and prompt. Her communication was top-notch. She made a last-minute trip out of town much easier for my family.”
7. Alisa N.
“I’m thankful Alisa was able to accommodate a last minute meet & greet and visit. Mr. Big cat and Anna dog took to her immediately. The drop-in visit for dinner and potty went well. It was on-time with an update and photo. I’ll definitely ask Alisa to care for the furkids in the future.”
8. Crymson T.
“Crymson took care of our elderly cat this weekend, which included dropping in twice a day to give her oral medication. I'm quite pleased that all was well when we returned home and our cat was very well taken care of. We've already sent a request for our next booking! It's a relief to be able to leave town and know that our kitty is in good hands.”
9. Megan B.
“Process was super easy. Megan responded very quickly right from the start and throughout the stay. We worked out an arrangement I think we were both happy with. She is very friendly and has such an honest and reliable demeanor that I immediately felt comfortable leaving my pooches in her care. Megan sent pictures and little update messages with almost every visit so I could see that my pups were safe and happy. GREAT experience and I would definitely book with Megan again in the future.”
10. Rachael B.
“Rachael was perfect for our needs. Will definitely use River.com again when needed.”
11. Claire H.
“Claire is a wonderful animal caregiver! In addition to their own array of animals, they have cared for my cat Patrick since he was a kitten, and he is absolutely obsessed with them, if that tells you anything about their demeanor. They have also loved my family's senior puppies with such gentle care, as well as my friend's young deaf dog, who is crazy and difficult to control, if you don't know how to connect with him. They care so much, not getting upset at something like an accident on the floor, or an angry yip because you touched a sensitive spot, they still speak calmly and interact with empathy, like you would caring for any other member of the family! No special need or personality quirk is too big. They just want the best for your furry family member, and it shows! Let them love on your pets for you, when you can't be there!”
12. Kayti C.
“Kayti is amazing! She is supper attentive, knowledgeable, dependable and dedicated. She really does go the extra mile and puts her heart into it. I feel so good knowing my baby is in great hands! I couldn’t of asked for a better sitter!”
13. Lilli J.
About: I’ve taken care of animals my whole life. I got my start young at five when I met my first pet, a pit-bull puppy named Ammo. I taught him basic commands, like sit, speak, and shake. I taught him how to walk with me, not against me. While watching him make progress, I learned to adore caring and training for pets. Over the course of the last 12 years, I have been caring for family and friends’ pets. They have given me experience in caring for senior pets, as well as, pets who are nearing the end of their journeys. Along with experience with older pets, I got the opportunity to care for sick animals. Through this opportunity, I’ve learned how to spot signs of sickness, and more importantly, spot signs of immediate or soon medical attention. I am a dedicated pet caregiver, available any day of the week. I like to walk often on my free time, so walking with your furry friend wouldn’t be much of a change than what I do regularly. I prefer to be in my home by dark so an overnight wouldn’t take me away from anything:)! I have a spacious, one bedroom apartment with a lawn surrounding the home. I do potty breaks every 1-2 hours, depending on the dog. I have a spare litter box in home and I deep clean it in between every client. When in my home, if you tell me there’s a nail clipping that needs to be done or a bath, it shall be done with plenty of encouragement throughout. I like to play and cuddle with them too:). While in your home, I will look out for any messes or accidents made by your pet, and promptly clean them. I‘ll come by every 2 hours for potty breaks and to refill water. After potty breaks and/or refills, I will stay with your pet for 10 minutes to assess their emotional well being as to let you know how they’re doing through your absence.

17. Kelsey B.
“I cannot recommend Kelsey enough! She took care of my two cats and dog multiple times over the last year, and her service exceeded all my expectations. From the beginning, Kelsey was professional, communicative, and friendly. She made sure to get all the details about my pets’ routines, dietary needs, and quirks, which gave me peace of mind. During my trips, I received regular updates, including photos and videos, showing how happy and well-cared-for my pets were. Kelsey even went the extra mile by tidying up the litter area and bringing in my mail! It was such a relief knowing my pets were in loving and capable hands. I came back to find them relaxed and happy.”
18. Lola P.
“Lola is very dependable, a great communicator and always on time. I trust Lola with our dog. 100%! She cares for our dog as if he were her own.”
19. Allison R.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs my whole life, including 2 of my own. Experience pet sitting a wide variety of breeds - from chihuahuas to pit bulls & everything in between. I’m currently available 7 days a week (pretty much 24/7) for dog walking, pet sitting, and/or boarding while in transition from college to my research career. I care for pets by ensuring they get plenty of attention as well as a good walk or ample playtime to get their energy out.
