“Megan was very attentive and provided daily updates and photos of our dog! Our dog loved her and Megan made our experience great. We definitely recommend her for any pet needs!”
“Lisa was great. She stayed at our house and took care of our pets and our home. She communicated with us before and during the stay. She came over to meet the dogs and learn about staying at the house. She sent pictures of the dogs during her stay. When we returned home the dogs were healthy and happy AND our house was tidy and clean. Would definitely recommend Lisa. She loves dogs!”
About: I have grown up with dogs all my life, but currently, am a mom to 3 of them, so I know a thing or two… from >5 lbs to 100… I got you! I’ve been dog sitting for others for almost 5 years now, and actually just spent the last few months volunteering at a local Vet’s office… so I know doggy CPR now if needed! Call/message me and I can be there ASAP! Monday, Tuesday, whenever, I got you ! I’m sure we can work something out !! 🩷 🐾 I don’t offer services in my home, since my dogs are veeeery jealous when another is around to steal all the back scratches and belly rubs, but I can guarantee that they don’t mind when i get out of the house for a few hours 🤣 In your home, I promise to provide a nurturing environment, with the same structure and routine you’d force if you were there. Whether it’s overnight or two weeks, I’ll love on your animals like they’re my own!
About: I’m the past two years I have dog sat and dog walked for a few different families. Let me know if you would like any additional information and I will be happy to provide it for you! I am currently taking a little girl to school a few days a week and am available after that around 8:30am, I am available on weekdays and do have some weekends that are completely free and have nothing going on When caring for pets in their home, I make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for. I follow the owner’s instructions and routine, provide fresh food and water, give plenty of attention and playtime, and make sure they get the exercise and bathroom breaks they need. I also keep their space clean and secure while they are away.
“Ana was very good with my dog. He was 5lbs over her comfortable weight limit but that didn’t deter her from taking my dog out to walks. She spent time with him at home and played with him. Fed him as instructed. Overall would book Ana again for overnight stay with my dog.”
“David took great care of Leo while I was away for the day. He was reliable, communicative, and made sure Leo got his walks and attention. I came home to a happy pup!”
About: I’ve always had a special love for animals and caring for them since I was a kid. From birds, to bunnies, and now cats and dogs, I now have a good knowledge on what each animal needs. I’ve also had experience in caring for kittens, puppies, and nursing pets back to health in the past. Patience and care is very important in this field, as well as staying in contact with pet parents at every hour is something I know and value. I am currently enrolled in college, so my availability varies from semester to semester, however I am sure to update it when necessary. I like being active and going to the gym so dog walking is something I love, as well as during the day being at home and sometimes cooking/baking. Reading and going to the beach is one of my favorite hobbies, so doing small and safe day trips is also something I am open to. For pet care at clients’ homes, pet parents can trust that I will pay good attention and care for their pets by paying attention to their habits, feeding/grooming them at times, and even bathing if necessary. I always make sure that if going out is necessary, their collars and leashes are safely secured as to not cause any mishaps. If pet parents have a routine they wish me to follow, I am very open to doing that as well. In my own home, I live with a younger sibling and my parents but they all love pets and care for them as well. Unfortunately pets aren’t allowed on my homes furniture or beds, so if they have a bed or any other furniture they wish to bring that is okay. I have a securely fenced yard, and pets are always supervised when going outside. My neighborhood is very pet friendly and safe, so I hope pet parents feel more comfort when dropping off pets at my home.

I am unable to care for pets within my own home but can care for your pet within your home. I have experience in crating and kenneling dogs, providing food and water, and safely handling dogs. I also have college-level and experience-gained knowledge of dog behavior to ensure that your animal is safe and happy!
“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Hailey did an amazing job caring for our home and pets while we were away for four days and three nights. From the start, she was professional, dependable, and easy to communicate with, which gave us great peace of mind during our trip. Our pets were clearly well cared for and received plenty of attention, affection, and exercise. Hailey kept us updated while we were away, and it was reassuring to know everything was going smoothly. When we returned home, our pets were happy and relaxed, and our house was clean, secure, and well maintained. Hailey went above and beyond our expectations and treated both our home and pets as if they were her own. Her rates were very fair, especially considering the outstanding level of care and service she provided. We highly recommend Hailey to anyone looking for a trustworthy, responsible, and caring house and pet sitter. We will absolutely be using her services again in the future. Thank you, Hailey!”

About: I bring a compassionate, detail-oriented approach to pet care, backed by my professional experience as a caregiver and my personal dedication as a dog owner. Whether I’m supporting a puppy with energetic play and consistent training, or providing the gentle, observant care required by senior pets—including help with mobility and medication—I prioritize your pet’s comfort and health above all else. I am equally comfortable caring for cats and dogs, and I pride myself on being reliable, attentive to specific routines, and dedicated to keeping your home clean and your companion happy. Hi there!

About: All my life I grew up with family pets that always ended up being just mine, young or old I can do it all . I currently quit my corporate job to pursue real estate, as of now I am open all day everyday for some good ole pup care Whatever you need for your fur baby I will do. If spending the night at my house, I live in a 2 bedroom apartment and also have a friendly frenchie. I’m next to a small man made lake (no alligators) that I usually walk my dog around daily.
“Tommy took great care of our golden while we were away. Such a nice guy - Received a photo and update each day. Our pup was happy and could tell he was well cared for while in his home. Definitely recommend and will be using again when out of town.”
About: I’ve been caring for animals my entire life. I grew up fostering dogs and living in a home full of pets of all types, so reading animal behavior and meeting individual needs comes naturally to me. I currently have two dogs of my own—one senior dog who’s in excellent shape and another with diabetes—so I’m extremely comfortable with special care routines, medications, feeding schedules, and detailed instructions. I’m very attentive, organized, and consistent when it comes to pet care. I understand how important routine, patience, and calm energy are—especially for senior pets, anxious pets, or those with medical needs. I treat every pet like my own, making sure they feel safe, loved, and well-cared-for at all times. Whether your pet needs structured exercise to burn off energy, gentle walks, playtime, or extra cuddles and reassurance, I tailor care to what helps them feel happiest and most comfortable. You can trust that your pet will receive the same level of care, attention, and love that I expect for my own I’m currently home full-time, which allows me to provide a very hands-on level of care throughout the day. Pets are never left alone for long periods and I’m able to accommodate regular walks, playtime, feedings, medications, and individualized routines. Starting toward the end of March, I expect to return to the office a few days per week. Even then, pet care will remain a priority, with mornings, evenings, and consistent routines fully maintained. I’m careful to only accept bookings that fit my schedule so every pet receives the attention, supervision, and care they deserve. I have a fully fenced yard and a calm, structured home environment. I also have two friendly, well-socialized dogs, and all interactions are always supervised. I’m experienced with introducing pets slowly and can easily keep dogs and cats separated or crate them if needed to ensure everyone’s comfort and safety. I’m very attentive to routines, boundaries, and individual needs—especially for senior pets, pets with medical needs, or those who prefer a quieter setting. I’m happy to follow any specific care instructions, including feeding schedules, medication routines, crate use, or solo time. I’m flexible and can care for pets either in my home or in the client’s home, depending on what works best for your pet and your comfort level.
About: I’ve been pet sitting for many years. I’ve been doing it regularly for going on two years. I use word of mouth, testimonials and social media to connect with clients I work 7:30am-3:30pm M-F so most of my care would take place before work, after work and on weekends. I can only stay in your home. I love to walk dogs but okay if you just want them in yard. 🙂 I like having dogs in bed but only if owner is comfortable with it. Never have guests. Don’t drink or smoke. Bring own food but love fizzy water and protein drinks if you’d be so kind to provide.

I also learned how to do dog massage from Linda Tellington, author of TTouch Training. I've also cared for chickens, pigs and rabbits. I prefer small dogs, as they are easier to care for in many ways, and I enjoy having them sit on my lap and sleep with me. I am very sensitive to the needs of animals and am able to understand the body language of them. I will care and love your pet like it's my own. Try me! I'm retired and can care for your pet anytime at your house. I don't do boarding as I have a roommate that has a pet and would involve her approval. I spend time playing, walking and chilling with your pet. I like to give treats and have them sleep with me if you permit it.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - River Park
Ashley was absolutely wonderful during my 8-night house-sitting stay! She stayed in my home and took amazing care of my two Great Danes and my cat while I was away. She was reliable, respectful of my home, and gave me complete peace of mind throughout my trip. She sent regular updates and photos, which I truly appreciated, and it was obvious from every message that she genuinely cared for my pets. They received so much love, attention, and excellent care, and I came home to three happy, relaxed animals and a well-cared-for house. I couldn't have asked for a better experience and will absolutely book Ashley again. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, compassionate, and dependable house sitter!
Kimberly was amazing, and I highly recommend her! She was responsible, friendly, and provided excellent communication throughout the entire stay. She kept me updated with messages and photos, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. Most importantly, my pets were happy, well cared for, and comfortable when I returned home. I would absolutely book with Kimberly again and would recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and reliable pet sitter.
My 3 dogs were taken care of for 2 weeks at my home and they were all fine and no issues with escaping. One of them realized she could jump my fence right before I left but there was no escaping when I was gone because she kept the doors locked. My dog checks! She handled them and I had peace of mind.
Amanda house sit with Fabio for a week while I was on vacation. She was great with my shy little guy. She visited with him before the sitting and he was relaxed and comfortable with her. Amanda is kind and caring and Fabio sensed this right away. While I was away she kept in contact with me with messages and pictures which I appreciated. I returned home to a happy little guy. I definitely recommend her if you want to have piece of mind that your babies will be well taken care of while your away.
Adriana was great with Bailey. He liked her from the beginning. When she came over to meet us, she spent a lot of her time interacting with Bailey. Then, when we were talking, Bailey went over and lay down with his head on Adriana's feet. So we felt very comfortable leaving him with her as a first time sitter. She kept in touch with texts and let us know every day how Bailey was doing. She left the house in better shape than when we left. We will definitely use her again.

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred River Park walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in River Park maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
<b>Tip:</b> Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in River Park choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
