Pet Sitting Riverside

“Sara stayed at our home to care for our 2 dogs and 2 cats. They all seemed happy and cared for when we returned. She sent photos each day to keep me updated.”

“Amanda was an amazing sitter for Sally! She was prompt, communicative, kind, and sent the best playtime photos. I felt completely comfortable trusting her with Sally, and her pricing was great. She is easily the best sitter I’ve found on Rover so far, and I’ll definitely be booking her again often!”

“She did such an amazing job taking care of my dog! Not only did she make sure my pup got a great walk, but she also spent plenty of time playing with her and giving her extra attention. Receiving the photo updates was the best part of my day. She’s super reliable, friendly, and truly loves animals. I’ll definitely be booking her again!”

About: Hi! I’m Alejandra, a lifelong animal lover and mom to Ford, my Catahoula/German Shorthaired Pointer mix. Growing up around ranch life, I’ve cared for many different animals, so being around them has always felt natural to me. Because Ford is a high-energy working breed, I’m very comfortable handling active dogs that need structure, exercise, and attention. i’ve also had a miniature yorkie so have experience with small dogs as well - and well Ford is obsessed with all dogs! I provide safe, attentive walks amd playtime and always prioritize your dog’s comfort, safety, and routine. I take daily walks with Ford who gets along with other dogs and cats. Whether your pup loves long walks, playtime, or a relaxed stroll, I’ll match their energy and make sure they get the care they need. I’m reliable, communicative, and always send photo updates so you can see your dog happy and having a great time. My goal is simple: make sure every dog returns home happy, relaxed, and well cared for. Im available all day on weekdays and sometimes during the weekends, which allows me to be flexible with exercise, pet care, making homemade dog treats, and making sure your pup has a play and nap schedule. I enjoy staying active and getting outside, and I’m reliable about making sure dogs get the attention, exercise, and care they need. Safety and awareness are always my top priorities when caring for pets. I’ve trained my own dog, Ford, to stay calm and non-reactive on trails and around other dogs, so I’m very comfortable managing different situations during walks. Through that experience, I’ve learned how to read dog behavior and handle a variety of personalities—from high-energy dogs to more cautious or sensitive ones. Whether in my client’s home or out on a walk, I make sure pets feel safe, respected, and well cared for while keeping owners updated with photos and communication.

“Literally do not use anyone else anymore. James is one of those pet sitters you can rely on to treat your pets like your own, send a ton of pics, and genuinely take great care of your pets.”

“Lillian is the best! So good with both our cats - even the shy one! We very much appreciate her great communication, photos, and friendliness with Lunchbox and Molé!”

Kate C.

“Alexa was great! She was prompt and made sure to send a thorough update for her drop in with my pup Louis. She even requested to meet him beforehand which made me even more comfortable! I could tell that Louis was happy and relaxed with her in the photos she shared. Would happily recommend Alexa to anyone looking for a sitter 😊”

About: Hi! I’m a dependable and attentive pet sitter with hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats. I’ve looked after pets with a variety of personalities and needs, from energetic pups who love long walks and playtime to more relaxed or independent cats who just want a calm, comfortable environment. I understand how important it is to keep your pet’s routine consistent while you’re away, and I always prioritize their safety, happiness, and comfort. Whether that means sticking to feeding schedules, getting in plenty of exercise, or giving extra cuddles and attention, I treat every pet like they’re my own. I’m also very communicative, so you can expect regular updates and photos for peace of mind. My goal is to make sure your pet feels secure and loved, and that you feel confident knowing they’re in good hands. Looking forward to meeting you and your furry best friend! I work 5 days a week in office, so I am available for drop ins in the mornings/ evenings M-F and all day on weekends! I make sure to respect your space and leave your home clean in tidy! Available to drop in during the week and stay overnight on weekends! Guaranteed walks/ exercise for your pet if needed including mental enrichment exercises and light training if needed!

“Leslie was amazing! She followed my instructions to the letter and took care of my wonderful kitty 🐈‍⬛ I was nervous to book with her as she doesn't have a lot of reviews but I always believe in giving people chances to prove themselves. I'm definitely booking with her in the future!”

“if you are first time user of Rover, this review is for you. We had to leave Michigan for a week and our dog does not tolerate kennels very well at all. All of our options for watching our dog in our home (family, friends) were unavailable. So we turned to Rover and to Taylor. We were so nervous! But aside from diligently dropping in to care for our dog three times a day, Taylor did something so extra special: at our meet and greet, Taylor expertly helped us navigate the Rover online process - precise, scheduling, etc. Taylor is the perfect advocate for Rover! Our dog got to spend the week in her own home, and Taylor was a superstar. We are already planning our next trip and Taylor will be our go-to choice to care for our doggo! if you are new to Rover or a frequent user, get in touch with Taylor! She way surpassed our expectations!”

About: I've taken care of several types of dogs since I was a kid. Neighbors and relatives have relied on me to take care of their fur babies. I have experience taking care of dogs of all sizes I'm so excited to meet your pet! I'm currently a college student so I have free time before and in between classes to drop by. I am free in the mornings before 10 a.m. and in the afternoons after 4 p.m. I also have a lot of availability on the weekends. I can help take care of your dog by taking them on walks throughout the day and by dropping in to check on them and let them outside. I have a lot of experience taking care of pets and can help in whatever way you need.

About: Hi, I'm Scott! I grew up with a big lab-retriever at home. I've been helping take care of my friend's pets for as long as I can remember but I have no pets of my own. There are no other dogs in my home. I'm comfortable with dogs of all sizes and temperaments. I'm a marathon runner and I love to exercise; I'm looking forward to staying fit along with your furry friend! I will treat your furry friend with love and respect and will make sure that your Rover experience goes smoothly. I do not have any dogs at home. I just left my job in strategy consulting and have abundant free time. I can’t think of a better way to spend my sabbatical than spending time with your pet. I own a quiet, well cared for, and clean home. I have a fenced in yard and friendly neighbors in a safe part of town.

“I’m so glad we went with Lizeth! She dropped in and checked on our two cats while we were away for a weekend trip. It was a last minute ask, and she pulled through! Even coming the day before to meet our littles. She has 4 cats of her own and I could tell she was comfortable with ours. Would recommend working with her and would hire again. ☺️”

Vanessa R.

“Mia was able to stop by for a meet and greet with our dog today after accepting a very last-minute request as another Rover sitter canceled on us. She was super communicative on her ETA, very friendly, and took our dog for a walk to get to know him! We are very much looking forward to having her stay with our beloved dog.”

Kylie J.

“Lauren took great care of my dogs. One of my dogs is in congestive heart failure and has to be kept calm and needed medication. She did great with her.”

Hailey K.

“Jacob was great! He took my dog for a walk very last minute and was super detailed in his report back to me!”

About: I’ve taken care of pets since I was a teenager and love any animal I meet. I can’t wait to meet your fur baby and spoil them as if they were my own! I have evenings available and can work from home one day a week so I have a lot of flexibility on those days. I can be flexible to what works for you. I live in an apartment with a small dog park. My apartment is conveniently right by it. I have hard wood floors and am on the first floor for convenience.

About: I’ve spent pretty much my entire life surrounded by animals. Growing up in Greece, my parents and I regularly took in stray dogs and cats and gave them permanent homes. At our peak, we had four dogs and six cats at the same time, most of whom simply walked into our backyard one day and apparently thought, “Yep, this will do!” They never left. Since moving to Austin five years ago, I’ve been pet sitting for friends and, thanks to word of mouth, friends of friends (and eventually people I had never met, which I take as a good sign). I’ve cared for dogs and cats of different breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities, and have been trusted with walks, check-ins, feeding, playtime, and overnight stays. I’m very comfortable around animals and fully accept that while you’re away, your pet is the boss and I’m merely the staff. And yes, that’s Anna, our Westie, in my profile picture. She still lives with my parents in Greece, and whenever I FaceTime them, she is required to appear on screen first. My parents have accepted their place in the hierarchy. I’m a graduate student at UT, which gives me a pretty flexible schedule. Even on days when I need to be on campus, I often come home during my lunch break.
 My days usually start around 6 a.m. with a workout and wind down around 10 p.m. with a book in bed, so I’m happy to accommodate both early risers and pets who take their beauty sleep very seriously. Walks, playtime, meals, check-ins, and plenty of attention can easily fit into my daily routine. If your pet loves a routine, I’m your person. I know how much animals rely on familiarity, especially when their humans are away, so I’ll follow their normal feeding, walking, medication, and bedtime routines as closely as possible. I’m active and always happy to go for a long neighborhood walk—or, if you live downtown, your dog and I may become regulars on the trail. But I’m equally committed to the important work of doing absolutely nothing. If your pet prefers couch time, they’re welcome to join me while I read. I’ll handle the book; they can handle the naps. Above all, I’ll treat your home and your pet with the same care and respect I’d want someone to show mine, and I’m happy to send plenty of updates and photos while you’re away.
