Pet Sitting in Riverdale

About: I’ve taken care of dogs all my life, all breeds and sizes. I currently have two miniature golden doodles who are full of energy and ready to play! I have a large fenced in yard and two friendly dogs who are looking for some new friends to play with. I will care for your dogs just as I do my own! I am now a stay at home mom so I am home full time! My toddlers are happy to welcome new pets in to play with and love on them all day! I have a large fenced in yard and two friendly dogs to keep your fur baby company. Your dog can run off energy in our yard along with going on walks with us.

“i'm very picky of which dogsitter i pick for roscoe, but rain made me feel incredibly confident and comfortable with having them in my home (not to mention the added bonus of rain being a volunteer at the shelter i adopted Roscoe from!) they follow instructions to a T, always checking in with me and leaving my home better than when i left. i get consistent updates and quick responses! anyone who books Rain is lucky to have their pets in such good hands thank you!!”

“Cher is amazing. We’ve booked her twice now. She goes above and beyond and provides updates. Our travel plans changed quite a bit due to weather and she was flexible and easy to work with. I never like leaving our cat when we travel, but it makes it easier knowing she is in good hands.”

About: Pet sitting was my first job ! I always watched other people’s dogs before I had dogs of my own ! I have 3 rescue dogs in my home now , who have all been through training and are great with other animals ! I work from home full-time . I barely ever have to leave the home , and if I do I have several kennels and comfort items for your dog to enjoy while I may have to step out I have a big fenced in yard ! Plenty of space for your dog to run and play with my dogs . I also have 4 large crates if the dog ever needs crated to have space away from the other dogs or simply just needs to decompress. Depending on the dogs needs , I will adjust accordingly.

“Very detailed with Hanks and let me know everything was going on and if anything seemed different so he wasn't afraid to call and double check everything with my pup. Highly recommended”

About: I am not your typical pet-sitter. I have spent my entire life caring for all types of animals. My first job was at a pet store learning the skills of working with animals and their people. After college I worked as a zookeeper where I cared for everything from mealworms all the way to rhinos. Specialized care was the name of the game there and I was able to recognize the smallest details on how to improve my work with exotics. Then I was led into the world of shelter work. Where I studied pet behavior and early signs of stress and how enrichment can help save lives. Many animals coming into the shelter would need some form of medication as well. I have a skillset of administering medications and making sure the animals actually receive their meds. Lastly, I was a dog training apprentice. I was able to form bonds with dogs that most people wouldn't come near. I can read body language well and know how to show dogs respect. I aim to be your go-to pet-sitter where you can actually enjoy your trip. I will make your pet my priority. I have an excellent ability to find balance in my schedule. You can trust that your pet is cared for how you want them to be. I have quite a few pets in my home and all are well cared for. I will offer the same care to the animals you care for. I will ask for detailed instructions and follow your schedule as closely as I can.

About: Ever since being a young little girl, I have cared for dogs and they have a special place in my heart. I grew up with a yellow lab and took great care of her. As an adult I am the go-to pet sitter for my family and friends. I have watched small family farm taking care of goats, horses, dogs, and outdoor cats too. I have more experience with mid to older dogs than puppies, but I have also helped take care of puppies too. I am currently searching for a full-time position; therefore, I have flexibility for during the day for potty breaks or walks, evening care, and overnight stay at your house. I am unfortunately renting currently and have a no pet policy so I cannot board at this time. Your pet is to be treated like my own. I follow the owners lead but I love playtime, indoor or outdoor, walks by leash and harness, and cuddles and loves. I only give treats if that is what the household wants. I wish to keep the routine as similar to what the animal is used to.

“We loved Lily! She was so personable and took very good care of our little Lucy. She sent cute pictures and was very communicative. We're very picky on who watches her just because she's 15 and very hard of hearing. But Lily did not make us worry one bit that Lucy was in good hands. I will not hesitate to contact her again!”

About: What sets me apart is my deep, lifelong connection with animals. I’ve raised cats and dogs in my home for over 15 years, giving me real-world experience that goes beyond basic pet care. I understand their needs, personalities, and how to make them feel safe and loved. I treat every pet like family, offering reliable, personalized care that gives pet parents true peace of mind. Pet care fits naturally into my daily life—I’m home often, with a flexible schedule that allows me to give pets consistent attention, care, and companionship. I’ve raised animals in my home for over 15 years, so caring for pets is part of my routine. Whether it’s feeding, walking, playing, or just quiet company, I truly enjoy every moment spent with animals. Pet care isn’t a chore for me—it’s something I love and make time for every day. I care for animals in my home as if they were my own—providing a safe, calm, and loving environment where they feel comfortable and secure. Whether it’s my home or the client’s, I focus on creating a routine that meets each pet’s unique needs—feeding, playtime, walks, or just companionship. With years of hands-on experience, I know how to make pets feel at ease, even in new surroundings. Their happiness and well-being are always my top priority.

“I couldn’t have asked for a better sit for my dog. She took out the time to include photos, hang out with her and even gave me some advice. Michelle is excellent at what she does, I highly recommend using her!”

Also have done walking at the daycare and also with my own dogs. I have took care of seniors also that have needed medicine I'm a stay at home mom with my baby daughter, 2 dogs Toby and Koda, and my fluffy playful kitten Snooze.

About: My name is Sammie, I have been involved in animal welfare for 5 years (shelter jobs/rescue) and have worked with all kinds of temperaments and have done some training/fostering and dog bathing/medical care! I love all animals and don't mind excited dogs jumping all over me. I have 3 medium/large dogs of my own, and a cat. I have experience with all kinds of species though! I am currently unemployed so my schedule is very flexible! Willing to negotiate prices. Feel free to ask any questions! I look forward to meeting your fur babies! Thanks! Working in shelters and fostering animals made animal care something that I am very serious and passionate about so spending the majority of my day caring for animals is something I am very comfortable and confident doing. It usually varies on the specific pet. I make sure to have owners leave me a feeding instructions and a list of their expectations for their pets care along with rules I’m expected to follow.

“William did a terrific job taking care of my Dicksie D when I was away for many hours yesterday. She was happy and comfortable with him. Plan to call upon him when I need someone again to care for her. Happy they enjoyed my Irish music together.”

About: I have worked in a kennel for two years. It has given me valuable skills on how to work with dogs and understand them better. I am a student athlete and a double major so I am a little busy! However I’ll always be able to make time for pets. I will most likely be available middle of the day. It will most likely range from each pet. Each animal needs a different type of love. I would ask about your dog and want to know what they like and don’t like, so I can make sure they are happy.

About: I am very capable of handling any breed or age of dog. I prefer large breed dogs but love them all. I've been handling dogs for 31 years now. I've even had experience with hybrid dogs. Capable of taking care or healthily or sick dogs, young or old. And your dog will undoubtably love me! My own dogs suffers from seizures and I am his support animal, he is very friendly young Great Dane mix. I also live on 11 acres in the woods on a river. So we can run all day long or go for a swim. Also it doesnt matter if your dog is the best trained dog or not trained at all! I like a challenge if it's a "problem" dog, not completely house trained or has anxiety. I will love them anyways! I work part time. So I am able to love your animals most of the day/week. I love going for walks in any type of weather, rain, snow or sun. I am very adaptable. Let me know any specific needs you may have and I will do my best to fulfill those needs. I love all animals and will treat them and your space with respect.

About: Hello! My name is Bri! I love working with dogs and cats, and I have enjoyed my experience working with animals if all shapes and sizes here on Rover. I have experience volunteering at the Wood County Humane Society in Ohio, I grew up with two dogs (Havanese), and I have experience with dog sitting and dog walking. I also have experience administering medication to both dogs and cats. I currently own two cats, so I love cat sitting, as well! One of my most frequent clients is a Labrador Retriever (and a very good girl), so I am most comfortable with dogs of that size and smaller, but I am happy to discuss working with any breed. Our furry friends deserve the absolute best care and attention, and that is what I provide! I look to meeting you! I work full time (M-F, 9-5) in Alma, and I am free to care for your animals before and after work, from 12-1 on my lunch break, and over the weekend! I am happy to provide whatever services you need in your home. Because I have cats, I am unfortunately not able to bring dogs into my home, but I can be otherwise flexible regarding your needs!

About: I have always had dogs and cats in my life, from training my own dogs to dog/cat sitting for family and friends, I have more experience with big dog breeds rather than little but I am comfortable in my ability to care for all types of dogs and cats.
