“Alyssa was wonderful for our two dogs! They seemed very happy and comfortable. Really appreciate her and definitely eased my anxiety leaving them knowing they were in good hands. Will definitely use her again in the future!”


“Nicole was great with my dogs (and resident stray cat) and is clearly an animal person. They warmed up to her quickly and she was very attentive to their quirks and last-minute health needs as well. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter and would gladly have her back to watch my pets the next time I need someone!”

About: Hello! I am an animal lover who has multiple years of care experience. I have a puppy so I am aware of the special care needs they may have. I also specialize in cats. I am flexible when it comes to cancellations and care times. I work second shift so I am able to provide care in the mornings or late at night. Late night care does not bother me, as I am a night owl! I am able to board, however I would prefer cats or small dogs. In my spare time I love to exercise, so I would love to take your pup on a long walk! I love animals, so rest assured your friend will be in loving, caring hands when you are away! I work overnights, so I am able to provide care in the mornings, during the day, and in evenings. I am flexible when I need to be! I reside in an apartment and have a large, unfenced yard. Perfect for supervised playtime! I have 2 friendly cats that would love to keep your pet company.
“Kaylie is amazing and made sure to give lots of updates and photos. She was a fantastic sitter for my pup and I wouldn’t hesitate to book her again in the future!”

About: What sets me apart from other dog sitters is my professional experience as an animal keeper, where attention to detail, behavior observation, and quality care are essential every day. I’ve owned and cared for dogs throughout my life and genuinely enjoy being around them, whether at dog parks, beaches, or dog-friendly spaces. Even without a dog of my own currently, I stay actively connected to dogs and understand the exercise, enrichment, patience, and companionship they need to thrive. I currently work full time as a professional animal keeper, but I’m excited to spend my free time caring for even more animals. I’m available for pet sitting, drop-in visits, and walks outside of my work hours, and I bring the same level of attentiveness, reliability, and compassion to pets that I do in my professional animal care career. I understand the importance of trust, responsibility, and attention to detail when caring for animals in someone else’s home. I am reliable, respectful of clients’ spaces, and committed to providing attentive monitoring, consistent care, and peace of mind while pets are in my care. I currently care for two cats, a lizard, and a boa, which has given me firsthand experience with the unique needs, behaviors, and routines of a variety of animals. Caring for such different species has strengthened my understanding that every pet is an individual and deserves personalized, attentive care tailored to their specific personality and needs.
“This was Christabel’s second time sitting for my cats. I appreciate her meeting me ahead of the sit to receive the keys and discuss recent changes to my cats’ care. I will definitely check her calendar for any future trips!”


About: I am a life long animal lover. I grew up with horses, 4-H, and FFA, which definitely included dogs, cats, and occasionally goats, rabbits, chickens, and a few others. I graduated from Polaris with a degree in Animal Production & Care and followed those studies in Science at Tri-C & CSU. I have trained and showed both horses and dogs. I believe positive reinforcement and love are the best and most effective forms of encouragement (but I’m definitely not opposed to treats 😉). I have a very active lifestyle and would be grateful for the opportunity to hike/ take a walk/ explore the area with your pup while giving them some love and quality time as well. I am blessed to have an open schedule at this point in life and therefore am available for house sitting/ overnight care, and unexpected needs (such as your stuck at work and worried your puppy needs to get out). I can absolutely provide references and am more than happy to have a meet and greet. Im very pleased to say that my availability is 100% open. All days and times work great for me. I’m now an ‘empty- nester’ and have the most amazing wife who loves and cares for our pup when I’m away. I will care for your pet as you request and as they are used to. If you don’t have a fenced in yard, I’m happy to do multiple walks a day. I, myself, do not have a yard suitable for my pup so we go for many walks, to the dog park, hikes, to the beach,… whatever she needs. And I would do the same for your pup. I am comfortable and familiar with crate training; And do enjoy teaching silly tricks (i.e, crawl, spin, and even the simple of shake). I love laid back older pups and younger energetic pups (my current is not quite 2 if that says anything) and I also believe that basic manners can be taught at all ages.

“Jennifer was an amazing sitter for Lucy. I received daily updates with photos and knew she was in great hands. Leaving a younger puppy for a longer vacation was difficult, but knowing she was with a loving family made it so much easier. I highly recommend Jennifer!”

“Chloe did an excellent job during my 9 days away. She provided lots of updates, adorable photos, and had excellent communication! She had no issues navigating my dog’s medication schedule or need for multiple walks a day. I would highly recommend her for any pet sitting service!!”

“Molly was fantastic! She was very communicative, and Henry felt completely at ease with her—he even napped on her lap. She took great care of him and left our home in perfect condition. We’d definitely recommend her and would book with her again!”

About: I have taken care of senior dogs for over 4 years. Clients trust me to keep their pets needs in mind while I am watching them. I am currently an online student, so that means my schedule is wide open for taking care of and getting to know your precious pets! I maintain the pet's normal routine as closely as possible to minimize stress. I ensure their feeding, water, and exercise needs are met on schedule and take extra care to keep their environment clean and tidy. I respect the home by keeping it clean and secure and am happy to provide updates and photos so you can see how your pet is doing while you’re away.
“Mark the dog whisperer! Mark was AMAZING to my two beagles. They suffer from extreme anxiety around strangers, however somehow Mark was able to make them his buddy and happy companions. He stayed at our home for a week and sent us text updates about the dogs daily. I was able to relax and enjoy our vacation thanks to his expert dog knowledge and professionalism. I highly recommend him to anyone looking, especially if your dog has issues with trusting strangers as mine did.”
About: I grew up working at a dog kennel and have always owned dogs. Some of my best friends are trained professionals and I've learned a lot from them. I can do walks, playtimes and certain medications. I can do over nights just not at my house for the time being. I only work Saturday and Sunday but am Still available early Sundays and later after 9 as well as late (after 12am) on Saturday. My days are pretty open during normal pet care hours and outside of them. Dogs love me, and I understand dog body language. My dog was over 100 lbs and I can handle him just fine. I love dog play times and don't mind running with them to get energy out. I just love dogs and making money. Message me with any questions or concerns.
About: Dogs have always been a part of my life! Four of my siblings have pups that I regularly love on, & I often watch my best friend‘s Doberman, Kodak - so I’m comfortable with big energetic dogs too! As a professional photographer, I’ve worked with many dogs during family sessions. That experience has helped me become patient, calm & confident around dogs of all sizes & personalities. Whether they’re tiny & shy or big & playful, I love them all! Your dog will be treated like family while they’re in my care 🤍 PHOTOGRAPHY ADD-ON: 10+ professional portraits of your pet during my visit :) $45 paid through cash or Venmo! As a self employed photographer, I have a very flexible schedule! I’m able to accommodate daytime visits, drop-ins, extended stays, & overnight house sitting. I can adjust my day around your pet’s routine to make sure they get the attention, care, & consistency they’re used to 🐾 My goal is to keep everything as close to their normal routine as possible! Feeding schedules, walk routines, & making sure your pet feels safe & comfortable in their own environment. I’m respectful of your space & will send regular photo & text updates so you always feel connected & reassured while you’re away.
“Abbey & James sat for me at my home while on a week long trip out of the country. They took amazing care of my dog Zoey and home. They provided lots of updates and took Zoey on many adventures. She liked them so much she was looking for them in the guest room the day after I returned. I will happily have them sit again in the future.”
About: My family adopted our first dog when I was 7-years old! It was my responsibility to pick up after the dog and take her on long, long walks. As she got older and I moved out, I would often return home to take care of her while my father was traveling for work. I got used to late night potty outings and helping her up the steps. My goal is to make sure every dog feels loved and cared for. I currently work part-time, so I have time on my hands and I would love to spend more of the free time with animals. I have two wonderful cats (a senior lady and a young lady) that I come home to. Currently, I’m available in the mornings Saturday-Tuesday and Friday, and all day on Wednesdays and Thursdays to look after your fur babies. I can also do late evenings after 8:30 Tuesday, Friday-Saturday. I have two litter boxes that are cleaned daily in my home. A plethora of cat toys, several different cat beds that my cats love to rotate around. Our fence is unfortunately broken, but I’m always happy to walk to the park nearby for playtime with your pets as needed.
About: I’ve taken care of neighbors’ and friends’ dogs for several years and all throughout my childhood. I love spending time with animals and I’m comfortable with a wide range of pet personalities and needs, and I always treat every pet as if they were my own. I also grew up with cats, so I’m very familiar with daily pet routines:) I’m currently in graduate school with a flexible schedule. Because I don’t work 9-5, I have time to walk, play, and feed your pet throughout the day. When caring for pets in your home, I maintain a calm, clean, and safe environment with plenty of attention, playtime, and routine. I follow all instructions closely, stick to your pet’s usual schedule, and make sure they feel comfortable in their space. I’m reliable, respectful of your home, and committed to keeping your pet happy and stress-free.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Riverside
Kerrigan was absolutely amazing! We booked her last minute due to travels plans shifting and she was on time, responsive, and adaptable! She provided responsive check ins and if I did reach out to remind her of anything she responded very quickly. Roscoe really enjoyed his time with her and we felt he was in good hands! 🙂 We will definitely rebook with her in the future 🥰

Amber was amazing – truly amazing. I get a lot of anxiety about who I trust to take care of our dogs, and she made me feel completely at ease. She sent tons of pictures and updates, which I really appreciated, and somehow even managed to win over our territorial, anxious Aussie. By the end, they were basically besties. 😂 Amber is fabulous. Highly, highly recommend her, and we will absolutely be booking with her again!

Carrie was great with our Gilbert, she stayed over our place with him overnight while we were out of town! He still has puppy golden energy & can be hyper at times. She was very patient with him & updated us frequently with photos as well. I would highly recommend her to care for your fur babies!
