Top rated Riga house sitters
“Deja was an excellent sitter for my dog! I was very nervous to leave my reactive dog with someone for a week while I was across the country and she did a great job! Very thorough and gave daily summaries and pics, came back to a spotless home and a happy dog”
“Marty was so kind and took wonderful care of my precious pup and house!! Everything was meticulously well kept while we were away for our wedding. Thank you so much Marty!!!!”
“I can’t begin to share how reliable and helpful Alicia was. This was a last minute house sitting for our pup and she was so helpful and kind. She’s walked her often and sent us pictures and even helped us take our trash out while we were out even though she didn’t have to. She’s a true gem and we cannot recommend her enough!”
“Nikole was amazing!!!!! She took care of our favorite child, our mini- schnauzer, watched our cats and fed all 90 of our fish in our fish tanks while house sitting for a week. She updated us multiple times a day, sent videos, photos, and was clear with communication. She took great care of our house shoveled our driveway without being asked and left it in tip top shape. We walked in to a clean home with soft music playing on the tv with videos of dogs playing to keep our pop occupied. She travels with our highest recommendation and we plan on using her all the time moving forward!”
“Moriah was professional and made certain my two dogs were properly cared for. One of my babies is 16+, blind, and needy. Moriah was able to address his needs and asked questions for clarification when necessary. I am hoping Moriah will accept future requests!”
“Linden has been amazing with our German Shepherd! He is very flexible and knowledgeable as it was my first time using Rover and made the experience easier to understand. Lol. I will definitely be using him again! Thanks Linden!!”
“Bethany is an amazing sitter. She sat for my dog that was recovering from an injury and wearing a cone. She had to give her medicine and keep her comfortable. My dog is picky about who she feels comfortable with but she liked Bethany! She is also very conscientious, punctual, and just really nice! I highly recommend her and will use her again.”
“Jack and Emily took very good care of Riley. They spoiled her and made her comfortable as it took her a day or two to adjust to her new surroundings. Jack was good about sending pictures and updates. He even sent her home with a special treat. Thank you for watching her for us!”
About: I am a full time teacher who is also an experienced pet owner. Looking to spend my summer taking care of your fur baby! Please feel free to reach out to me with any questions. Looking forward to connecting! I am available weekends and full day during the summer weeks. I am able to work around your schedule for what is best for you and what you need for your pet. I have multiple fenced in areas at my complex where they can play. I can also walk your pet as needed. I will make a plan with you ahead of time.
“I searched for quite a while to find a pet sitter that my fur babies would be comfortable with. Also someone who would put my mind at ease while I’m away from them and from home. Someone patient, trusting, responsible, kind and has all around good vibes. When my fearful dog (who does not like anyone except her family circle, especially did not like the last pet sitter) was not afraid of Sydney, I knew my babies were in good hands. Sydney took care of my 3 dogs (age 7, 4, and 7 month old puppy) & 2 cats ( age 11 & 12) as if they were her own. By day 2 of house sitting, they were relaxed and cuddling up with Sydney and in their usual routine. From the start of the day, Sydney made sure to communicate with me throughout the day and send pics. I highly recommend her!”
“This was our first time using Rover.com and we were skeptical however Kayligh was amazing. Our dog and cat loved her and when we got back we couldn’t even tell she had been there. The house was how we left it. We will definitely be booking again. She also stayed an extra hour which was really nice, walked the dog, cuddled and played with our dog and sent us pictures. She also got back to us really quickly when we had questions which made us feel like she cared.”
“I believe we were Tanner’s first dog/ house sitter. He was very attentive to Timber and Timber loved spending time with him. He was a great communicator and texted us if he had any questions. He left the house probably cleaner than we left it and watered our flowers so we didn’t come back to dead flower pots. He was flexible and spent time getting to know us and Timbers routine.”
About: I have been pet sitting since I was a teenager. I have experience providing care for older dogs with specific medical needs, and experience training puppies. I work remotely and have a flexible schedule that allows me to spend undivided quality time with your pets. I have found this helps to reduce the separation anxiety that exists when an owner is absent. It’s important that your pet(s) feel as comfortable as possible in your absence. To me, getting to know your pet’s schedule, habits, favorite and least favorite things, allergies or medical conditions, mannerisms, reactivities, etc. can help them feel cared for while you’re away.
“She did a great job with my senior dog Muffintop. She saved us short notice and was so accommodating to our needs. I received picture updates regularly and felt like she was really there to take care of Muffin so she wouldn’t be alone while we were away. Great communication, so friendly.”
“Sarah was fantastic! Hands down the best sitter we have ever had. One of our dogs has separation anxiety and Sarah was great at keeping him calm and happy! Sarah is punctual, reliable and great with communication. She made it so easy for us to feel comfortable and confident going out of town. Thank you so much Sarah, we appreciate you!”
“Jasmine was a fantastic pet and house sitter; I highly recommend her! Five stars! Jasmine's attention to detail and level of care is outstanding. She took care of my two cats and bunny while I was away. One of my cats had dental surgery just two days before I had to leave and on our meet and greet Jasmine asked the best questions about it, pointed out I had forgotten to mention medication, and was so attentive. She sent pictires and checked in with me regularly. She also watered my plants and got the mail in! I plan to hire her again!”
About: I have been in the vet field since 2016. I have been helping other people with their animals for as long as I can remember. I am currently available whenever I am needed. I have a very open schedule. I am willing to stay at owners home if necessary. If you have any questions don’t hesitate to ask! I worked in an emergency vet hospital for 1.5 years so I am comfortable with pretty much anything such as geriatric and special needs animals.

She is a pet owner herself and realizes the time and energy it takes to be a responsible owner.”
