“I was a little nervous how my dog would be with a stranger, but Amber made him feel comfortable and even had excited to see her wanting to play! I will definitely be rebooking her again!”

“I cannot recommend Patrick D. enough! From the moment we first connected, he was professional, kind, and clearly passionate about animals. He took care of my dogs as if they were his own — sending regular updates, photos, and even little notes about how the day went, which gave me total peace of mind while I was away. Kevin and William absolutely adored HIM (which says a lot, because they're usually a bit shy with new people). When I came home, everything was spotless, my pets were happy, and their routine had been perfectly followed. Patrick went above and beyond in every way. If you're looking for someone trustworthy, responsible, and genuinely caring, look no further. I will absolutely be booking with him again!”

“My fur babies had such a great experience! She was incredibly attentive and made sure I stayed updated the whole time with pictures and check-ins. I felt completely at ease knowing my pups were in such caring hands. Highly recommend!”

“Meridith is a treasure! She was a last minute booking for a holiday and we were so fortunate to find her. She was dependable, friendly and spent quality time with my boy. Thank you so much Meridith!”

“Very good experience. This is my first time having a kitten and my first time being away for a couple days. Meghan was extremely punctual when meeting. The pictures she took of my kitten were the most cute and precious pictures. I felt great reassurance that she was ok. My kitten was a litttle stressed when returning, but I can tell from the pictures that Meghan gave great comfort to my kitten and I really appreciate it. Would recommend.”

“Erika is calm, trustworthy, and knowledgeable. She has been coming to my house to do midday drop ins for my two sighthounds. They are usually reserved around new people, but Erika won them over right away. Highly recommend!”

“Most excellent sitter. Engaging and involved! She was very communicative, punctual, and respectful. Our doggo’s loved her. I never worried about them while we were gone. We’ll be using her again.”

“Mandy was AMAZING!!! She was very flexible to come help us on short notice. She took our dog on great walks, and stayed over to play fetch with her. She also takes amazing photos! We will definitely be using Mandy again in the future”

“Liz was great! She came for a meet and greet the weekend before our trip, and called and sent pictures when she went by to check on our kitties! So thankful for her help 🤍”

About: I have cared for many animals over the past 18 years while managing a pet resort. I have also walked dogs during my lunch hour. I recently retired after 18 years in veterinary medicine and managing pet resort. I have always loved animals and have 6 dogs of my own. I have a 6 foot fenced yard and have 6 dogs of my own. My dogs are dog friendly and go to daycare often and play.
“Mandy was so helpful and took great care of our pup over the holiday weekend. She was an excellent communicator and knew how to handle our nervous girl well. We will be booking again with Mandy”

About: I am a huge animal lover, growing up with my childhood dog, Rey, and my cat, Tubby. Caring for them helped me build a strong sense of responsibility and understanding of pets’ needs. More recently, I’ve been fostering cats and kittens consistently for the past year, which has given me hands-on experience with a variety of personalities, ages, and care needs. I treat every pet like my own and aim to provide a safe, loving, and stress-free environment while you’re away. I work a 9-5 job and can do drop-ins before and after work on the weekdays and am completely free on Saturdays and Sundays! Available to pet sit and give your pet a friend while you’re away! I prefer to care for pets in their own home and am available for walks and drop-ins. Please let me know if your pet has any special needs, specific food/treats, or any behaviors that might need a heads up.
“Kenneth gave my pup plenty of love, cleaned up after an unfortunate accident (Puppyhood! Gotta love it), and sent lots of cute photos to make us feel comfortable. He took great care of her during his multiple visits today and he shows great care and love for other’s animals!”

Riverside pet parents share their Rover experiences
This turned out to be the best service ever. Erika was amazing and I hope she'll become a regular for Scout. I unintentionally became the sole responsible human to a neighbors cat. I believe she's now needing a permanent home. I hadn't planned for this as we are retired and plan to travel. Finally true empty nesters. We kept Scout inside for our first trip with no clue how she'd do, but daily visits were perfect. We have decided to keep Scout. ☺️

So glad I found Katie to watch my girl for a last minute sitter. After an initial meet and greet, I felt confident that my dog would be in good hands. I received lots of feedback and cute pictures/video of my dog during Katie’s visit, which I loved. I would definitely book again; thanks Katie!

Miss Mandy is by far amazing. She goes above and beyond in everything she does for the dogs. She truly does treat them like they are her own pups. My three babies absolutely love her, especially my big boy! I work long hours and because of her I finally have a peace of mind. Thank you for all you do.💙

I had a great experience with this dog sitter and would highly recommend her. She paid close attention to every detail and made sure all of my dogs’ routines and needs were followed perfectly. It was clear that she genuinely cared about them and took the time to make them feel comfortable. My dogs absolutely loved her and were excited to see her each day. Knowing they were in such caring and attentive hands gave me complete peace of mind while I was away.

There’s a reason Evan has a perfect rating. He was able to take care of my cat with only 12 hours notice. It was an unexpected/emergency trip so there was no advanced planning but Evan rolled with it, found everything - food, litter, the house key (!) It really was last minute. Evan even loaded and ran the dishwasher for us so that we didn’t walk into a disaster Highly recommend Evan!
