“Tanner is such a great sitter and we feel lucky to have found him. He is so reliable and capable, and we felt like he could handle whatever came up with his calm and sensible manner. Not to mention, he is an overall nice person and exactly the type of fellow we would trust with our home, plants, and beloved cat.”
“Jessica has been amazing - she’s very easy to work with, pays attention to details, and even goes above and beyond. Our dogs love her and we will look forward to having her watch our dogs again!”

“Ahñia was amazing with our 8 week old puppy. She came over for a meet and greet and stayed way longer than she needed to and asked a lot of questions and was also incredibly kind to our older dog who is unfriendly who barks at people coming in. Our puppy immediately loved her and she is incredibly reliable and caring.”

“Catherine was absolutely amazing! Communicated everything about our kitties super efficiently and sent pics every visit of them playing, eating, and cuddling. She was so kind and we would highly recommend her to anyone :)”

About: With years of hands-on experience caring for hundreds of pets, I bring a level of dedication and knowledge that truly sets me apart. From energetic puppies needing structure and training to senior dogs requiring extra patience, meds, and mobility support—I’ve done it all. I cared for my own beloved pup for 17 wonderful years, so I understand how much trust it takes to leave your furry family member in someone else’s hands. Whether it’s administering medication, reinforcing good behavior, or just offering lots of love and attention, your dog’s well-being is always my top priority. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine, and my flexible schedule means I’m available when you need me—whether that’s early morning walks, midday drop-ins, or overnight stays. I prioritize each pet’s unique needs and can easily adjust my day to fit their routine. Whether your dog thrives on a strict schedule or just needs some extra attention and playtime, I’m here to provide consistent, loving care whenever it’s needed. I welcome your pet into my home as part of the family—because they deserve nothing less! I’m located between two beautiful parks, perfect for daily walks and playtime. My schedule is flexible, and I always tailor care to match your pet’s usual routine, ensuring they feel safe, comfortable, and right at home.
“Sylvia was wonderful!! Provided great information and photos. The cats loved her, they don't usually come out for sitters but they adored her and it was clear she made an effort to cultivate a relationship with them. I definitely plan to book with her again.”


“Lindsay is a delight to work with. She's very sweet and clearly cares for animals like they are her own. Very responsive and communicates. Couldn't ask for someone better to stop by and take care of my cat.”

“Great sitter. It was the first time leaving our cat since we got him, and we felt very comfortable with James. Even our cat warmed up to him immediately.”

“Ella did an incredible job checking in on our cats and bearded dragons. A great communicator that took good care of our pets and even better pictures made being away easy. Thank you!”

“Holly and Robert did a great job dropping in on our pup Murphy during the day. They had great communication with us about how he was doing and we came home to a happy pup. Thanks Holly and Robert!”


About: I come from a beagle and lab family where we always had 2 or more dogs in the house! I am very comfortable with small or large dogs (we have a 110 pound big guy) and have experience walking/ pet sitting reactive dogs. I also have experience with dogs who have specials needs such as medication, specific food times, special food prep and doggy diaper changes. I am always my family, friends, colleagues and coaches on call sitter and would love to make some new furry friends and explore the city more! I currently work full time during the week from 8-4, but I am free after work everyday and all day durning the weekends! I have a pretty flexible work schedule so I am able to shift things around for different needs. I am always very mindful of my clients home and do my best to fulfill every need and wish while I’m there! The more information you can give me on house rules and your pets routine the better, I also love to send lots of pictures and updates so you don’t miss your furry child too much.
About: I have not lived a single day without animals in my house. I grew up with a German Shepherd, 3 Aussies, a cat, and even owned lizards! I also worked at PetsMart in the small animal department and helped medicate the sick animals. Although I am not a pet trainer I have plenty of experience training dogs how to walk properly and teaching them tricks, as well as attending a few sit means sit classes with my Mother’s dog. I am a nurse in the hospital setting and I work 3 days a week, meaning I would only accept jobs on days where I do not work (I would hate for your pet to be unattended for 12+ hours!). As far as pet care experience, I have cared for: large dogs, small dogs, cats, lizards, snakes, rodents, birds, and horses. I also have experience administering various kinds of medication as well as caring for senior animals. Because of this I would be able to provide care to special care or senior dogs that may need extra TLC or certain medications like insulin. I work overnight 3 nights a week, my schedule is pretty flexible but it does vary week by week. I recently moved out of my parents home and am currently pet free so I would love to be able to spend my free time helping out! I treat every pet like they are my own. I would walk the dogs at least 1-2 times a day depending on their own needs. As far as dogs go, I would also take them out for bathroom breaks every 2-4 hours. For cats, I would clean their litterbox as least once daily. For all pets I will provide them with all the love they could need while you are away and will play with them to their hearts content! I am very respectful of others’ spaces and will leave your home the same, if not better than you left it!
“Danie was so sweet & took great care of my cat while I was on vacation. Danie checked in with me when she would check in with Itty Bitty and sent me pictures and videos. It was comforting to know Itty Bitty was in good hands while I was away. I would definitely book her again! Thanks so much Danie!!”

Riverside pet parents share their Rover experiences
Absolutely amazing! Easy communication, friendly, and reliable. Went above and beyond doing things we didn’t even ask for like bringing in our mail. Most importantly my kitties were safe and happy under her care, loved the beautiful photo updates she sent us too!

Holly & Robert were great with our dog, Luna! Lu can be reactive and anxious but Holly and Robert handled her with kindness and patience, communicating thoroughly during their drop-in visit. This was also a last minute ask so I appreciate them being able to step-in when we needed them. Thank you both!

Sarah took excellent care of my four cats, even my shyest ones felt comfortable enough to come out and play with her! She sent lots of excellent pictures! I was able to relax and enjoy my weekend knowing she was looking after my babies. Will definitely book with her again!
