“Maya is an awesome nanny for our kitty. While we were traveling to Yellowstone National Park, Maya kindly helped take care of our little girl—our beloved cat, Meme. She kept us updated with photos and stories of Meme’s daily activities. As a talented writer, Maya beautifully captured their moments together with vivid and heartwarming descriptions. Meme quickly warmed up to Maya and settled in with ease. She’s been eating well—so well, in fact, that she’s noticeably heavier than before! We’re truly grateful for the time and care that Maya and her husband devoted to looking after her. Thanks to their support, we were able to enjoy our trip with complete peace of mind.”

“Jeremy was a great sitter for our two girls. He followed our instructions and was so very, very easy to work around our schedule. He communicated daily and made us feel very comfortable. He loved on our puppers just like we do. Highly recommend Jeremy.”

“Amanda is AMAZING!! She takes all proper precautions to ensure safety of her clients and their fur babies. I met her prior to her keeping Nike but did not need her service at the time. I had an emergency come up and without hesitation she was willing to care for Nike. She sent picture updates and stayed in consistent communication. I thank her so much for alleviating my stress level while I was out of town. Highly recommend”

“Shelly was great with Kona! She sent pictures and Kona was very happy to snuggle with the family on the couch and play with her son! Very responsive and reliable. Happy to have found Shelly and will use again!”

“Easy to get ahold of. Responds quickly. Makes sure you know your fur babies are happy! A picture is worth a 1000 words. She sends often. Outdoes private kennels by far. My pups were able to interact with her pups and kids. So thankful for this service.”

“Ms. Chelsea demonstrated exceptional pet-sitting services during the three nights she cared for our dog, Koa. Her communication was commendable, as she consistently provided updates on Koa's well-being and shared numerous photographs. Furthermore, she exceeded our expectations by actively engaging in training sessions with Koa. We highly recommend her services and will undoubtedly entrust her with Koa's care in the future.”

“Lydia and her family were very welcoming to me and Bronco. The kids were great with him. I could tell my pup received a lot of attention from a wonderful family through the many updates, photos, and videos Lydia sent. While I was away, I felt like I had no worries. If anyone needs a sitter, Lydia is an excellent choice! She’s probably one of our favorite sitters from Rover TBH.”

“I don’t think I can thank Jonathan and Tessa enough! I honestly didn’t think Bertha would want to come home when I saw how happy she looked in the yard! I was worried because I have never left her overnight outside of my house, but the minute I dropped her off I knew she was in good hands! If you have a chance to book Tessa and Jonathan you should do it immediately!! Thanks for taking such good care of my girl!!”

About: I have always had pets . I grew up helping my mother groom and take care of dogs. I would do anything for an animal. I am available all 24/7 everyday. I am willing to work any day of the week. I am availability because this is my only job, and I am passionate. I have been lucky enough to be raised with dogs my entire life. My family were breeders for standard poodles at one point, which was amazing to watch and learn about. I am no stranger to special needs, administering meds, able to provide short term care until help arrives. I love all dog breeds equally and will treat your dog like my own. This is my passion. I have 2 guest rooms that can be turned into private doggo apartments. If your pets need exercise I can provide. If they need relaxation, I love cuddles on the couch. We have crates of all sizes, beds for any size dog, dog gates for stairs, enough rooms to spread out and separate if needed, and live minutes away from a fenced in dog park. We live 3 minutes from 2 vet clinics and we use them for our own dogs. We have security cameras in the house with 2 way speakers if we need to step out for any reason. Please let us know about your dogs temperament with other dogs ahead of time. If your dog has special needs or quirks around certain people. We are happy to share our dogs food but would prefer food is delivered with the dog for stays. We are used to dogs that have a tendency to run if given the chance but appreciate heads up so we can be extra attentive.
“Brooke C was very friendly. She has a fenced-in area outside for dogs she is boarding where they can run and play. My dog did well and even made some new friends at Brooke's. She kept me infor.ed of how Bentley was doing while he was staying with her.”

“Nicolle and her family were great with my little pup Myla. She had a quick response time and was able to book us right away. I am very pleased and will definitely take my girl back for a visit soon!”

Riverbend dog parents share their Rover experiences
We couldn’t be more grateful for the incredible care our dog received! From the very beginning, our sitter was accommodating and flexible with our ever changing schedule, which gave us such peace of mind. She was also completely upfront and honest about everything communication was clear, consistent, and so appreciated. We had daily picture and video updates thay put our mind at ease. It’s rare to find someone who genuinely cares, and it was obvious our dog was in loving, responsible hands the whole time. Highly recommend to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and kind to care for their furry family member! Would definitely rebook for future outings. Thank you Athena for going above and beyond.
