About: I'm intimately familiar with cats and their body language and have been taking care of my silly accident-prone orange boy for 6 years. For the past few years, I've taken care of multiple cats at a time, have rescued kittens, and house-sat for other cat owners. I know how to handle the crazy kitties that may love or hate strangers. I go to classes every weekday until 2:30pm, freeing up my entire afternoon to care for people's pets! I also have my own car, allowing me to travel more reliably. I brush, feed, water, and play with clients' pets while remaining respectful of their homes. I am a quick learner when it comes to understanding an animal's preferences, including sitting with them the entire time they eat to help them feel secure.
About: I have a 10 year old pit bull who I’ve had since he was a puppy. I’m a big pit bull advocate! I’m a big believer in “punish the deed, not the breed”.

As long as I have a couple days notice I can always move things around if needed.

In your home, I will follow the instructions given to me to take care of your pups.

About: Hi, I’m My’Anna! I’m a Veterinary Technician with hands on experience caring for dogs and cats in both clinical and home settings. I know how important it is to feel confident that your pet is safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for while you’re away. I’ve cared for dogs and cats with all kinds of personalities and needs, from energetic pups who want to play to senior pets who need a little extra patience and attention. I’m comfortable caring for pets who need medications, extra monitoring, or special routines, and my veterinary background has taught me how to notice the little things that can make a big difference in a pet’s health and comfort.

I take the time to learn their personality, routines, favorite activities, and quirks so they feel safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for while you’re away. Whether your dog wants a long walk, your cat prefers to watch me from across the room, or your senior pet simply wants some quiet company, I’m happy to meet them where they are. My goal is for you to feel confident leaving them in my care and for your pet to be excited to see me again. As a part-time veterinary technician, I have flexibility in my schedule to give my Rover pets plenty of attention and one on one care. I love filling my free time with walks, playtime, cuddles, and keeping pets comfortable in their normal routines. When caring for your pet in your home, I follow their usual routine, respect your space, and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. As a vet tech, I’m also trained to pay close attention to changes in behavior and well being. I’ll keep your pet’s safety a priority while giving them plenty of attention, playtime, cuddles, and companionship. I’ll also keep you updated so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands.

My dedication to pet care has instilled in me a deep respect for animal welfare and a commitment to their well-being. I currently work seasonal part time and have open availability during the weekdays and if notified ahead of time I can be available on weekends When caring for a dog in their owner's home, I prioritize safety and trust by following these guidelines: I maintain a secure environment by keeping doors and windows closed, ensuring the home is free of hazards, and storing medications and cleaning supplies out of reach. I follow the owner's instructions regarding feeding, exercise, and medication schedules. I respect the owner's property and belongings, and avoid entering areas I haven't been given permission to access. I communicate regularly with the owner, providing updates and photos of their dog. By adhering to these practices, I create a safe, trustworthy, and comfortable experience for both the dog and their owner.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Riverside
Tamara was amazing! I booked her last minute to watch Charlie, and she was incredibly accommodating. What really stood out to me was that Tamara was recovering from surgery herself and was still so attentive with Charlie—even still taking her on walks. She kept me updated throughout her visits and sent pictures, which gave me peace of mind. I really appreciated how caring, reliable, and dedicated she was. I would absolutely book with Tamara again and highly recommend her.

Alexandra was amazing with both Panini and Lady! She was very comfortable with dogs, especially bulldogs, and clearly understood the extra attention and patience a puppy needs. I felt completely comfortable having her care for them and really appreciated how well she handled both of their different personalities and needs. I would absolutely recommend her and will definitely book with her again!

Isabella was wonderful with my dog while I was gone for the weekend! He's older and picky and needs a little extra care...she was great with drop in visits, giving him extra attention, and making sure he got enough exercise while I was away. Very kind and reliable, will definitely book with Isabella again!
Natalia is wonderful, she is incredibly responsive and provides feedback on each visit. She was comfortable taking my energetic Great Dane puppy on a walk, which I know he loved - with me being at work for so long. An additional thing I appreciate is she is super flexible and always willing to work with our crazy schedules. 10/10 recommend.

The average cost of Dog Sitting in Riverside is $14 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $0 and $27 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

As of October 2026, there are 12,109 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Riverside. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Riverside choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking.
