“Jenn was super friendly, reliable and most of all my dogs loved her. I loved getting updates through the app and seeing how happy they looked! She always came with treats and had great communication skills. Thank you so much!”
“Amber was lovely and very attentive to Duncan’s needs as a senior dog. She also accommodated a last minute request with less than 24 hours notice. Will definitely be using her again!”
About: Having multiple pets has been a part of my entire life, from the pets I had with my family to my own now. My first job ever was a professional care-taker at a boarding shelter for dogs. Now I walk and care for dogs part-time. My primary availability is during the week, with some weekend availability with enough advance. I work from home and am very flexible to accommodate changing schedules. I am comfortable crating your dog, taking them for walks, playing with them, providing basic care or anything else that you would like me to do for them.
“Karen did a wonderful job walking our dogs. We have one very high energy dog that can be difficult to walk until he releases energy and she handled him with such ease! Both of my dogs came back from each walk completely exhausted, it was perfect and exactly what we wanted! Karen was so lovely and we look forward to having her walk our dogs again!”
“Jada was great with both our dogs, she was especially good with our puppy who was a little timid at first but they seemed to really warm up to her fast. We are really glad to have found Jada, we will definitely be booking with her again!”

About: I have only recently turned 19 so I don’t have much “official” care for animals and I understand if you do not choose me because of that but I have taken care of my neighbors and friends animals for years, working with puppies to elderly dogs in increments as short as an afternoon to even a month at a time. I have also fostered a couple of dogs my longest being a year, she was an amazing black mouth cur named Pepper and I kept her until she beat her heart-worm and found her forever home. I’d love the chance to provide the same care and attention to your pets! I’m currently in pilot school, I have 3 classes that are 3 hours each throughout the week, a part time job working at a restaurant, as well as a couple of flights a week, so I have plenty of available time. I am very flexible to any rules you may have set for your pets and can adjust so that you do not have to worry about you furry friend in my care.
About: I love all animals. I lost my bull mastif/lab mix, Honey Bear, in February 2018. She was 12 1/2 yo. As well as my tabby, Eli, who was 19y/o, in March 2020. I am not ready for a new pupor kitten, so I thought this would provide an avenue to express my love for animals as well as help others. One of my favorites is dog walking. Because I work from home I am able to invest more outdoor activities for your furbabies. I do not have a fenced yard, however I am close to areas that can accomodate. I am very attentive and experienced to handling larger dog breeds and cats. If you are looking for someome that will love your pets as her own, please contact me. I look forward to hearing from you. Thank you in advance for your consideration!
About: I've had pets all my life, there's not a moment in my life where I never had a pet. I love animals and having the opportunity to make them happy makes me happy. I have 3 dogs of different sizes and personalities and one cat who loves being loved. Everyday I feed my pets and walk my dogs ensuring they get as much activity as possible. I like to go over the pet's care routine laid out by the owners making sure to keep detailed notes. I walk the dogs whether it be a particular length of time or desired route.
About: I've taken care of dogs since I was a little girl. I understand each dog has their own unique personality and I have the patience to learn and work with them. Food, walks, and playtime can be the highlight of a dog's day so to be able to be the one to provide that is awesome. Having 2 dogs of my own, pet care is a regular daily thing. I have a flexible work from home schedule, so I can fit in appointments whenever, even last minute! My dogs get walked twice a day. We have a fenced yard so when they have extra energy to get out I'm able to let them run. I will follow the guidelines set out by the client for how their dog's needs are best met.
“I could not have asked for a better walker than Kyle. Not only did he communicate super well and send me the cutest photos, but when I got home there was a beautiful, handmade portrait of my beautiful boy.”
About: I’ll make sure your fur babies feel safe, loved and happy- with plenty of snuggles, belly rubs and playtime while you’re away! I’ve taken care of pets my whole life, mostly cats and dogs. For the past several years I’ve taken care of friends cats and dogs while they’re out of town. I’m self employed so my schedule is super flexible. Just let me know what you need and we’ll figure it out! I’m available most days and nights. I’m big on safety! Inside pets stay in, gates are closed and locked etc. I’ll follow your instructions to a tee to make sure everyone is safe and happy.
About: I am an art teacher full-time during the school year. I am available for weekend house sitting starting on Fridays when I get off. I am open to doing house sitting during the week as well, as long as you are okay with your pet being alone while I am at work. Message me so we can work out details! I’ve had my own cats for 8 years. However, I am a huge dog lover too! I have lived with many dogs through roommates and developed special bonds with many of them. I would be entrusted to care for them if a roommate was away. I love sending pics of your fur babies to you while I take care of them! I am a teacher. So, summertime is extremely flexible, and, sometimes, wide open! I can make a lot work in the summer to fit your pet’s needs. Since I have 2 cats, I am looking to mostly take care of your pets in your home. I am all about comfort for my own pets, and make that the priority for your pets in your home!
“Jenna does such an incredible job with my pup butts. I am so grateful for Jenna’s patience when I made a mistake to the schedule. 15/10 would recommend as my pups love her and she always does a phenomenal job communicating with me.”
About: I have taken care of many different types of dogs since I started dogsitting at a young age. I have had the opportunity to dogsit french bulldogs, labradors, golden retrievers, doodles of all kinds, and beagles! I am excited to have the opportunity to take care of your furry family members and help you out!! I work from home so I have a flexible schedule that allows me to leave and take walks when needed. I also wake up early in the morning so I am happy to take your pups on their morning walk if need be! I like starting my morning early anyways, so it's a plus if I get to add a furry friend to it as well!! I am an attentive caretaker due to my work-from-home job. It allows me the flexibility to drop in on your pets, take them for walks to the park and give them a lot of love.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs for friends and family for the last 10 years. I enjoy getting out and taking them on walks and watching them run and play in our spacious back yard. I’m currently home full time with my 6 year old golden retriever. The longest I leave the house for is 3 hours at a time during the day. I care deeply for all animals. I am a cautious and responsible person you can trust. I love sending lots of pictures and updates throughout the pups stay!
“Anna is the best! She is so flexible when my work schedule changes. She lets my puppy out for a long walk everyday at lunch. He loves her and I love the updates she gives. We rebook every week!”
Riverside dog parents share their Rover experiences
Amazing dog walker. She got my very stubborn dog to actually walk which was a miracle and made sure they were completely safe and taken care of. It’s always scary letting someone take care of your furbabies for the first time and she made me feel so comfortably and at ease! Will definitely use her again.
Pam is amazing and trustworthy. I used her because I already knew her and knew she was amazing, and was not disappointed. She communicated well, my dog loved her and she made sure my dog, who is a new rescue known for getting loose previously, was safe, secure and well taken care of. 100% recommend Pam. She is respectful, kind and she is calm and confident with dogs. 😊
I hired Jess to walk my two dogs, and she was wonderful! She even made the effort to come meet them ahead of time when my husband was home, which I really appreciated. The pups took to her right away. She showed up on time for both walks, sent photos, and made sure they had plenty of water afterward. Her communication was excellent throughout the entire process. I would definitely hire her again!
Teddy is wonderful with my pup, Lucy. She always gets so excited to see him and really enjoys their walks and playing fetch. Teddy is super punctual, always on time and prepared with leashes and bags. I know Lucy is in good hands when they go on their adventures.
