“Nikki is great to work with! She was quick to respond and took care of our three cats so thoughtfully while we were away. I’ll definitely recommend Nikki to anyone looking for trustworthy and reliable support with your four legged family members!”
“This was my first River experience and Camille made it an excellent one! I needed late night help over the weekend at the last second and Camille was quick to respond. I truly appreciated her taking time out of her weekend nights to come meet and care for our dog! I appreciated that she sent pictures and gave me updates on how the visits went (although I’m sure that’s part of the Rover process). We will definitely be using her down the road!”
About: I’ve been around animals my whole life—growing up with both cats and dogs in the house taught me how to care for pets with love, patience, and attention to their unique personalities. While I can’t have a pet in my home right now, I jump at any chance to care for my friends' animals, whether it’s daily walks, playtime, cuddles, or just being there to keep them company. I’m reliable, gentle, and genuinely enjoy building trust with every pet I meet. I work just a couple of days a week, so I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to care for your pets. I’m happy to work around your needs for walks or drop-ins. I treat your home as if it were my own—always with respect and attention to detail. I make sure to clean up after your pet, whether it’s litter boxes, food areas, or accidents, and I aim to leave your space even cleaner than I found it. You can relax knowing your pet and your home are in responsible hands.
About: I have a lot of experience with pets, specifically dogs, as I’ve had pets my whole life and really love them. I’ve had both puppies and older dogs so I have experience taking care of both. Besides my own dogs I have dog sat for neighbors multiple times and other family members and find spending time with these dogs to be very enjoyable! I also have a lot of experience dealing with multiple dogs at once as, for most of my life, I’ve had multiple dogs and have dog sat for people that have multiple dogs. I am very comfortable with all kinds of pets! I’m currently working part-time from about 9am-4pm but have plenty of time after this to take care of pets. My weekends are also often free! When caring for pets in clients homes I am sure to respect their home and the rules they have set. I understand that every house operates differently and want to honor that
“It was so nice to have Bella cat/house sit for us on our recent trip. So comforting to know our cats had a person to spend time with in the evenings and give them lots of attention. She also left our place super clean! Would definitely ask back. Thanks Bella!”
About: I am a very kind person to animals and people! I try to treat people and animals as I would like to be treated. I would love to care for your pet and will always try to do the best job that I can. Growing up my family always owned a dog and I love all dogs of all sizes. We owned chihuahuas and we owned boxers and pugs. I also own a cat that I love very much! I hope that you will consider me to care for your pets when you are not able to. I promise to treat them as though they were my own. I hope that you will consider me to care for your pet and will do my best. I work from home and have a very flexible schedule. This allows me to be fully present with my dogs and cat and any animals I may have the privilege of watching. I typically have a routine with my dogs and cat. They all get fed twice a day. I try to play with them a little every hour and we typically take walks twice a day as well. I do have an outdoor play area for them they go out supervised about 4 times a day
About: I have been a CVT for 15 years, actively working at an emergency/specialty clinic. I can care for all ages and sizes of dogs and cats. I have a part time job that is flexible, my main focus is pet care and services. I am available most days and hours. I am pet sitting or caring for pets on a daily basis. I will utilize your house to care for your pets so they are more comfortable and less stressed. I will follow your daily routines to keep them feeling secure.
About: I go beyond the basics to make sure every pet in my care feels safe, stimulated, and loved. I’m experienced with dogs of all sizes and energy levels—from gentle senior pups to high-energy breeds that thrive with agility exercises and interactive play. I love incorporating puzzle toys and movement into our time together to keep their minds and bodies active. I also offer nail trims for both cats and dogs, which saves you a trip to the groomer and helps keep your pet comfortable. Walks are tailored to your dog’s needs, and I’m lucky to have access to a large, green outdoor area for fresh air and fun. Whether it’s cuddles on the couch, a calm walk with a senior pup, or enrichment for a curious kitty, I bring patience, attentiveness, and a true love of animals to every visit. Pet care is already a central part of my everyday life. I work remotely, which gives me the flexibility to take frequent breaks throughout the day—and I use that time to walk, play, or check in on pets. I’m already out caring for my own dog, so adding in extra walks, playtime, or visits with other pets fits seamlessly into my schedule. I love staying active and being outdoors, and pet sitting is the perfect way to combine that with something I genuinely enjoy—spending time with animals and making sure they’re happy, healthy, and loved. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, their comfort and well-being always come first. I make sure fresh water is always available, and I keep a stash of healthy treats on hand (with your permission, of course!). Pets in my care get regular potty breaks outside and lots of love and attention throughout the day. I have extra leashes, cozy pet beds, and a clean, pet-safe environment. I’m also able to travel easily, so I can provide in-home care that keeps your pet in their familiar routine. Whether it's snuggles, structured walks, or playtime in a secure green space, I tailor my care to meet each pet’s individual needs and personality.
“DeeDee is great! Our cats loved her! She was very timely with her communication and her care. We will definitely schedule with her for our next trip. You get a message when the care check in starts and when it is done. She also adds a couple pictures of the animal(s) so you can see that they are happy and doing well. Great all around experience!”
“Elizabeth came to meet us on a Thursday and was able to care for our dog on Saturday. She was thorough, patient and detailed with our pup and her report with how things went. Our dog can be barky with new people but that didn't stop her. We will use her services again in the future! Definitely recommend to others.”
About: With years of hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats, I bring a well-rounded and deeply committed approach to pet care. I am the owner of Oh My Paws, a pet-sitting business I started during college, and have worked as a kennel technician, dog handler for Can Do Canines, and am currently completing an apprenticeship at a Humane Society. These roles have given me experience with a variety of temperaments, medical needs, and behavioral challenges. What truly sets me apart is my background in dog behavior and training. I am currently studying to earn my CPDT-KA (Certified Professional Dog Trainer – Knowledge Assessed) certification and have experience training service dogs through the Falcon Fetch program. This gives me a unique ability to understand body language, reduce stress in pets, and ensure a safe, enriching environment during their care. Pet care is a central part of my life and something I prioritize in my weekly routine. I have very open availability on weekends (Saturday–Sunday), and I’m also available on Mondays if needed. This flexibility allows me to provide consistent and dependable care, whether it’s for daily visits, overnights, or last-minute bookings. Because I run my own pet-sitting business and am actively involved in training and animal welfare work, I structure my schedule around the pets I care for. I take the time to provide each animal with individualized attention, exercise, enrichment, and a calm, safe environment. Whether caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, safety and trust are always my top priorities. I begin with a detailed intake to learn about each pet’s routine, medical needs, triggers, and preferences, and I tailor my care accordingly. I use positive reinforcement and clear communication to build trust with animals, helping them feel safe and comfortable. In a client’s home, I maintain their pet’s usual routines as closely as possible to reduce stress. I’m respectful of the home environment, leave things exactly as I found them, and provide regular updates with photos and notes for peace of mind.
“Charles was great! Very professional and responsive to any questions and any instructions we left. Sent lots of pictures and updates and our cat seemed very happy and well taken care of when we returned. We will definitely use him in the future and would recommend him to anyone!”
About: I’ve been a pet sitter for three years and have no problem following special instructions. I have watched dogs, cats, and guinea pigs most often. I have even worked with bred lab dogs and puppies helping to clean and exercise them. I am definitely an animal person! I will be working a job part time, but I am willing to spend as much time as needed with the animals I look after. I have an easy time building trust with the animals and will care for them in your home as you would. I will follow any instructions given to ensure your pets routines are disrupted as little as possible.
About: Worked at a doggy day care for 5 years, only left due to having my son. Typically watched 30-35 dogs at once at the day care. I LOVED it there. I was able to play with dogs all day!! Looking to care for dogs again but out of my own home. Must be kid friendly, as my son is 5 years old and my daughter is 1. If you need references I am more than happy to give that to you. I absolutely love dogs! We do not have a fenced yard but we do live on a river! Any questions or if you're interested, feel free to get a hold of me, I'd love to hear from you, thank you!! I am a stay at home mom! I have a flexible schedule and can be around your dog all day to tend to your dog! We have a 1 year old dog who loves other dogs! My family loves dogs, summer is our favorite so we can be outside and burn all that energy!
About: Previous employment I'm skilled with breaking up dog fights, grooming animals, walking animals, training animals, etc. It would be my absolute pleasure to give your pets some love while you're away. I like to stay busy, so if I have free time I prefer to fill it rather than not do anything. I have a heart for animals and if I can occupy myself by helping care for others pets, why not do just that? My pet has a lead that is within our homes perimeter so she cannot go into neighbors yards, I also have a kennel for her to be put into if need be. Depending on others houses, usually there is a fenced in yard for the pet to be let out in, I still prefer to watch when they get let out just to make sure they don't misbehave.

Sadie S.
“Sadie is a phenomenal pet caregiver. She has taken care of my dog, Gizzy, on multiple occasions. The most recent being for a week long. She would take her on car rides, walks, made sure to spend time with her and tend to her needs. Gizzy is an elderly dog, and Sadie did very well at acknowledging her age and adjusting what she needed to do different because of this. One example is giving her a joint supplement everyday and assuring that she was using her stairs and not jumping onto beds. I would recommend Sadie to any pet owners in a heartbeat.”
Joselyn B.

I have the utmost trust and faith in her to love and care for my pet as I would. I would strongly recommend Joselyn as a pet sitter because she has the experience and the right demeanor for the job. I appreciate the fact I don't worry when my dog is in her care. I hope you consider her for this role. You won't be disappointed!”

I know she would be responsible in providing that your dog is safe and properly taken care without worry from the owners.”

Jacqueline L.
“Jacqueline has been caring for pets for over a decade. She has a calm energy that relaxes even the most anxious pups. Under her care, dogs are walked, played with, mentally engaged, and loved, which ensures her clients go home balanced. And her dog Sam is the perfect intro dog. He's just interested enough in other dogs to make them feel welcome. Talk to Jacqueline about your dog's needs, and I'm sure she'll be able to accommodate them. And ask about nail trims. She's amazing!”

“Teaghan was very good when she watched my dogs for me. I have 2 fur babies (German shepherd and Great Pyrenees) and she sent me picture updates of them everyday along with a check in update when she let them potty and fed them. 10/10 will have her watch my animals again.”
