“Natalie stayed over for several days while I was away and took amazing care of my cat and home. She is so reliable, kind, and professional. I would highly recommend her!”

“Naya is a repeat house sitter for my big silly pit mix and my elderly cat. She does an incredible job of following all instructions and balancing the needs of my dog and senior cat. We trust Naya!”

“Sierra did a great job dogsitting my senior dog and housesitting while I was out of town for a long weekend! She sent updates and pictures, which was very reassuring!”
“Thank you Kathleen for a great stay with our two pups! We are always a bit uneasy leaving our dogs overnight but there wasn’t a time where we had to feel worried about anything over the past 3 nights! Kathleen sent cute pics and updates of our pups, didn’t mind the occasional behavioral issue and was overall such a great sitter who we’d recommend to anyone!”
“Brianna is an amazing Catsitter! Not only did my cats really love her but she was amazing at sending updates and being attentive towards them and their needs! Will definitely be booking her again for my future cat sitting needs!”

“Emily is great! She sent continual updates and pictures throughout her time house sitting. It was clear that besides regular walks she also spent lots of time hanging out and cuddling with my dog, who is very affectionate and needs the attention. Would definitely book again!”

“Kathleen took great care of our senior cat and our home. She navigated some technical challenges with our alarm system with professionalism and good humor. Highly recommend. Will definitely re-book.”


“Lisa was so good with Suki! We prepped with lots of walks to get used to each other which was helpful for my temperamental kid! Lisa was quick with responses and always able to accommodate us! Will definitely book again!”

“Jessica is a great dog sitter. We’ve used her a few times now and she’s great. She takes such good care of our dog, and gives him so fun walks everyday. Much appreciated.”

“James has dog sat for us multiple times now! He sends frequent updates about how the dogs are doing and makes sure our home is well taken care of. We are confident our dogs are happy and cared for when James is with them and will continue to work with him whenever possible!”

“Just wow. Emily stayed at our home for a little over a week and cared for dog like he was her own. Our dog is anxious and has leash reactivity as well as some long term health issues. She was knowledgeable in handling him and managed his daily med administrations. Emily also went above and beyond by doing two in-person meet ups to get acquainted with Bouldin, snuggled with him, and bathed him prior to our return. We will be a customer of Emily's for as long as she will have us. Light years better than any dog resort/boarding facility.”

“Taya did such an amazing job watching our new rescue Boh, who’s a lot to handle right now. And Rico our little elderly gentleman- two totally different dogs at once. THE BEST PART was she stayed overnight with them, neither dog has ever been left alone so I was so appreciative she did that for us. All instructions were followed meticulously and we have already rebooked her for a trip when we are out of the country in 30 days. 10/10 would recommend her all day as your go to pet guru.”

“Gavin is the absolute best! He cares so much and gives thorough updates on our pups, which allows for such peace of mind while we are away from them. Our girls would welcome him back anytime!”

“Sarah was incredible. She was so communicative and consistently sent photos and videos of Juni, which meant a lot to us. This was our first time leaving Juniper behind, and Sarah truly eased our anxiety from the start. It was clear Juni was well cared for, comfortable, and happy. We felt completely at ease knowing Juni was in such great hands and would absolutely book with Sarah again.”


“Amy was very professional & great with my puppy making me feel comfortable to leave her for the first time. She sent me numerous pictures each day as well ?If available I will continue to use her services.”

“Lanis took excellent care of my pup… updated me every day… sent pics and videos… he was very happy, which makes me happy… We live in an apartment and she walked him on his regular schedule, worked with the front desk people well -‘and all around did an excellent job taking care of him…”

Riverside pet parents share their Rover experiences
Kathleen stayed with our pets for a long weekend - a dog (often reactive to other dogs) and 2 indoor cats. Everything went very smoothly. We were kept informed with texts and pictures and none of the pets looked like they missed us AT ALL!! The dog even slept with Kathleen one night. When we got home, it was apparent Kathleen had cleaned up our house, leaving us very little to do which was a hugely welcome gift from her. We definitely will book with Kathleen again.

Jenna was fantastic and very communicative throughout the entire process. They stayed with our cat Zeppelin and we could tell that he had a great time and was very well cared for when we got back. Picture updates, even watered out garden, we couldn’t have asked for more. Thank you Jenna!!

We took a chance on Amy after we had a bad experience with a previous sitter, and we are so glad we did. Amy has such a cool and calm vibe and energy. I immediately felt comfortable with her, and so did Rani! She made sure she kept in touch regularly and asked questions to make sure everything went well. She even cleaned our house and washed our sheets before we came home! She also texted us after she left to make sure we arrived home okay and that our dog was not left alone. I cannot recommend Amy enough. She just moved to the area which is why she doesn't have any recent reviews but she's awesome!
