About: My love of dogs led me to start a dog walking business when I was only 10 yrs old. Once I finally convinced my parents to get a dog, I was 15 and we ended up with two bichon-malteses who were the loves of my life. As an adult, my career has me traveling frequently so I haven’t become a pet owner, but I continue to dogsit for friends and neighbors because I love the companionship when I’m home. I am committed to providing your dog a comfortable home away from home where they will be well cared for and loved. I work from home Mondays and Fridays so can be available for care for a long weekend (Fri-Sat-Sun-Mon). My availability may be limited based on work travel. I live in a dog friendly building, where there is greenery and walking paths around the building for daily walks and enjoy going for longer walks in nearby parks.
“Nicole is incredible! She takes her time with our shy dog to make her feel comfortable, and we feel so grateful for that. She also sends pictures without us even having to ask! 10/10 recommend!”

Our dog goes on a daily walk. Other client care I do whatever the pet parent needs and wants to ensure the safety of their pet and whatever they are comfortable with.
“Anna took exceptional care of my two babies, and followed all of my instructions! She was polite and checked in with me on any questions about the babies and gave me a heads-up if she might be stopping by early. I came home to a perfect and clean apartment, and two very happy and well-fed babies. Highly recommend!”

“Emily took great care of our cats while we were away. She was prompt, attentive and followed all of my directions perfectly. She kept me updated with photos and messages, giving us peace of mind that the cats were well taken care of. I will definitely request Emily again for drop in care for our cats for another trip.”

About: I’ve taken care of numerous kinds of dogs of all ages and sizes. I have been relied on for serval years for many neighbors and friends to feed, walk and dog sit.

“Cassidy was amazing!! I needed someone to check on my cat while I was out of the country. It was such a relief knowing that Cassidy was keeping an eye on everything and giving Katniss plenty of attention while I was away. She kept me updated everyday and was super accessible for communicating about a few questions that came up while I was gone. I would not hesitate to ask Cassidy to watch my cat again, or any other pets for that matter! Highly recommend!”

“Katie was amazing all around. She did everything I asked and took great care of my cats. I was anxious about leaving them for 6 days but she made me comfortable and allowed me not to worry during my vacation.”

About: I’ve walked dogs and pet-sat for neighbors, friends, and family. I’ve cared for two dogs and a cat of my own. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, and playtime, and I genuinely love spending time with animals. I’m happy to follow any special instructions or routines to keep pets safe and happy. I’m pretty much free most days since I only work part-time some afternoons. That means I have lots of time to hang out with pets, whether it’s for walks, playtime, or just sitting with them while you’re away. I’m flexible and can usually work around your schedule, so if you need help last-minute or regularly, just let me know. I have a big house with plenty of space for pets to relax and feel comfortable. There’s a fenced yard where they can safely play and explore without any worries. My home is on a quiet dead-end street, which makes for peaceful, low-stress walks nearby, and I’m also really close to a park for longer walks and fresh air. I already keep dog food on hand for my own dog, so feeding is easy to manage. I have a friendly dog who’s used to other animals, and if your dog needs some quiet time, I can crate them safely as well. I always follow each pet’s routine and make sure they get lots of attention.
“Shawn is great with Max, my cat. Max has diabetes and has to eat before he can have his insulin. Max can be fussy sometimes with his food, and Shawn has made it a point to make sure he eats his food. He has gone so far as to spoon feed Max! He really does take good care of Max!”

About: I have been caring for my clients dogs for over 10 years. I love walking and playing with all animals. I also have my own dog who can be a companion if your dog needs a playmate. I am a fulltime dog walker, have a very flexible schedule and can generally be available on short notice for drop-ins and walks or even on hikes! I am also available for overnight dog/house sitting! All services will be at my clients houses or in their neighborhoods for walks. This allows dogs to be in environments that they are already comfortable with while meeting somebody new.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since having our first family dog when I was little. I trained our family dog to not only have discipline, but also do tricks! I recently trained my friend’s dog to do some fun tricks too. I love to give the pups all the attention and patience they deserve. I shared a cat all through college with my roommate and am familiar with cats needs. I currently have Friday-Sunday off so I’d love to board or do walks on the weekend. I’m also available in the mornings and evenings if walks are needed then. I live close to lots of walking paths and dog parks. It’s a great area to go on long walks or to the dog parks!
About: Ever since I was a kid, I’ve had a soft spot for animals and a dream of having every furry friend in the world! Now, I’m turning that childhood passion into reality by pet sitting.

About: I’ve had animals my whole life, including dogs, cats, birds, and reptiles. I’ve trained multiple puppies, cared for senior dogs, and have years of experience looking after cats. I’m patient, detail-oriented, and always make sure each pet feels safe and loved. I currently work from home, so I have a flexible schedule for walks and drop-in visits throughout the day. At the moment, I’m not able to offer boarding, as my own pets may not adjust well to new animals in the home. My approach is calm and understanding. I like to respect each pet’s unique personality and habits. I don’t believe in being overly strict, but I always make sure they are safe, comfortable, and well cared for.

About: I had a dog of my own growing up and was incredibly lucky to be highly involved in all stages of her life. I have also been blessed to watch many other dogs consistently over the years and was able to be with them as they grew old. From crazy energy and intense training, to medication and helping ones who aren't as able. I have experience with young pups and the senior dogs. I am fit and able to walk large dogs, also nurturing and able to soothe those shy ones out there. I appreciate your consideration and hope to meet you and your fur family soon! I am an early bird and willing to come early, typically 6-8am. My days can be flexible but typically on shorter notice. My evenings are usually open! Weekends vary. I am willing to make anything and everything work in advance and short notice! I am happy to care for your pet exactly as instructed by you. For walks and drop-ins I ask that any potential watch-outs are communicated as well as anything that your pet specifically loves! Whatever is best for you and your pet(s) is best for me.
“Poppy LOVES spending her hour with you! She is always so tired from her walk and the photos we get are amazing! You are so flexible and always so accommodating! We know Poppy is well taken care of when she’s with you”

“Cinthia took wonderful care of my pup, Hoover. I was a little nervous because I’ve had him less than a week, but I came home to a happy guy! Thanks Cinthia! ❤️❤️❤️ Jonathan and Hoover!”

Riverside dog parents share their Rover experiences
I had a wonderful experience with my dog sitter and would absolutely book with her again! She took excellent care of my two dogs and was attentive, kind, gentle, and professional throughout the entire process. She followed all instructions carefully, kept me updated, and treated my dogs as if they were her own. It gave me tremendous peace of mind knowing my pets were in such caring hands while I was away. When I returned home, my dogs were happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, compassionate, and trustworthy pet sitter. Thank you for taking such great care of my girls! 🐾❤️

Nicole is wonderful with my Atlas. She is always on time, communicative, and sends lots of pics. I was concerned that he might develop separation anxiety when I returned to work, but Nicole’s drop-ins keep him happy and engaged (the only separation anxiety is mine 😊). Her consistency and experience is helping him learn his manners (leash and potty etiquette) very well.

Evelina was absolutely amazing with my Marley while I was away on a week-long cruise. From the start, she was professional, kind, and very communicative, which gave me real peace of mind. She sent regular updates and photos, and it was clear Marley was happy, comfortable, and well cared for the entire time. When I got back, Marley was relaxed, healthy, and clearly loved his time with her. Evelina truly treated him like her own. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and will definitely be booking with her again. Highly recommend Evelina to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring Rover helper.

Melissa is an excellent dog sitter, would recommend her to anyone! She did several drop-in visits during a weekend while we were away and was super communicative and great with our pup. She sent me several photos and videos that truly melted my heart, it was so clear how good of care she was giving to our girl. I have fullest intentions to work with Melissa again in the future when we need her as she is very reliable, compassionate, trustworthy, and an excellent dog sitter. Finley loved her!
