“Amber was a great sitter for my standoffish cat, always giving him plenty of space. I always really appreciated the detailed notes and photos she left for me, and she went above and beyond with tidying up litter and food. Thank you Amber!!”

About: My experience includes 20+ years of pet ownership, 10+ years of dog walking on a part time basis in the Riverside/Avondale area. We can walk at a fast pace, if requested by your dog. Or we can lazily meander our way around the neighborhood. We can also play games like fetch, tug, hide and seek, etc., and practice basic obedience with rewards like treats or play. I have a long leash we can use as well if requested, which I find is a nice way to allow the dogs to explore more freely in less busy areas like parks or backstreets. At the moment I am doing a few different types of gig work, so my schedule is flexible and I may be able to accept bookings with very short notice. When walking dogs, I usually attach their leash to my body using a hands free leash mechanism as an extra safety measure and to allow myself to walk more easily at a faster pace, if the dog is up for that. Generally, I will maintain a safe distance from other dogs (and cats) walking around to be sure that no incidences occur. Except to send you updates, I will not use my phone while with your dog. My attention will remain on your dog and the walk. Otherwise, it is important for me that I am patient and gentle with all dogs in my care and that I do not make them feel uneasy or anxious on our walk.

“Erika was so great! This was my first time leaving my boy alone and I wouldn’t leave him with just anyone. She made the whole process easy and provided me such peace of mind. She was very attentive, gentle and patient with him. He’s a more laid back dog and requires more pets and love than anything and I could tell he got that! I would very much recommend her and would totally request her again! Thank you so much!!”

About: I’ve grown up with dogs most of my life and have lived with multiple cat owners as well. I feel like pets like my calm and loving demeanor 😊 I enjoy the flexibility this profession allows and I love the outdoors. If your pet wants a long walk in the sun or just needs to stretch its legs in the backyard I’m down for either! 😁 I feel as though my laid back demeanor is great for working with animals and even the pickiest cats have fallen for me. I’m great at reading the body language of animals and know when they want a belly rub or when they want me to sit six feet away.
About: I have been caring for pets for several years, helping close friends by providing dependable and loving care for their animals whenever they needed it. Through this experience, I've learned how important it is to be patient, attentive, and to follow each pet's unique routine. I'm also a proud pet owner myself, with one beautiful dog named Luna and three cats—Wedge, Benimaru, and Ainz. Caring for my own pets every day has given me hands-on experience with feeding, exercise, playtime, litter box maintenance, administering basic care, and recognizing when a pet needs extra attention. I understand that every pet has a unique personality, and I treat every animal as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I work Tuesday through Saturday from 4:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m., which leaves me available during mornings, afternoons, evenings after work, and all day on Sundays and Mondays. I make pet care a priority and ensure every pet receives the attention, exercise, affection, and reliable care they deserve while their owners are away. Whether I'm caring for pets in my home or in a client's home, I focus on keeping their routine as consistent and stress-free as possible. I make sure they have fresh food and water, regular potty breaks, exercise, playtime, and plenty of love and attention. I follow any specific instructions provided by the owner, including feeding schedules, medications, and favorite activities. I also keep pet parents updated with photos and messages so they can have peace of mind knowing their furry family member is safe, happy, and well cared for.
“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!”

“★★★★★ Macy was absolutely wonderful! She took amazing care of both of my dogs while I was away, checking in three times a day and spending quality time walking, feeding, and interacting with them so they felt comfortable and secure. When Khaleesi unexpectedly became sick, Macy went above and beyond and took her to the emergency vet for me, which gave me tremendous peace of mind while I was out of state. She kept me fully informed throughout my entire trip and was dependable, caring, and attentive. I came home to two happy, well-cared-for dogs. I would absolutely trust Macy with my girls again and highly recommend her!”

“Olivia is enthusiastic and committed to doing the best for your pets. My two big dogs loved her, and she handled the responsibilities of not only my dogs but an Amazon parrot, and two reef tanks. She followed my specific instructions very well. I can recommend her for any house sitting visits you may need for your dog (or other creatures!).”

“Risa has been wonderful! I had to leave my Rocket for a short trip and she took care and attended to his needs while I was away. Will definitely book her again. :)”

“Kendra was amazing! She had great communication with every visit and was extremely flexible. My dog loved playing with her outside. I would highly recommend her for pet sitting!”

“Jordan took amazing care of my dogs after I asked her at the last minute. She was responsive, followed all of my instructions, and sent lots of updates and pictures. I highly recommend her and would definitely ask her to take care of my pets again.”

About: My partner and I don’t currently have any pets and we will love to take care of yours! ❤️ I’ve been around dogs since age four and since then I’ve cared for numerous dogs, including those with special health needs. 🏥💉I’ve been a Rover sitter for several years and now provide full-time, attentive care. Comfortable with administering medications and following detailed care instructions, I ensure every dog feels safe and loved. If you’d like to meet up at a dog park to ensure that this is the best fit for you and your furry friend, just let me know! I do this because I love animals! I am a full time dog sitter and trainer I follow each pet’s usual routine as closely as possible to help them feel comfortable and secure. I start mornings around 7 a.m. with feeding, followed by walks and playtime. Throughout the day, pets receive regular potty breaks, attention, and companionship. I provide constant supervision, and pets are only crated if needed or requested by the owner. I rarely leave the house, and if I do, it’s only for short, essential errands and never for more than an hour. In a client’s home, I maintain their space respectfully while ensuring their pet receives attentive, reliable care at all times. I live in an apartment, but I make sure dogs get plenty of daily walks, exercise, and enrichment. I prioritize regular outdoor time so pets stay happy, active, and mentally stimulated, even without a yard.
About: I worked in the dog grooming industry for 20 years. I've bathed and walked every kind of dog! I love animals and at my age walking is all I'm up for now lol I'm retired but still need the love of a dog. The variety I had at the grooming shop has left me wanted it again. I have 2 small older dogs whom I've had since they we're puppies. But they sleep a lot and aren't up to walking anymore... So this is a happy alternative for me. I'm a strong 68 yr old woman who would take great care in walking your dog 😊
“Ashley was wonderful! Super communicative and just helpful all around. I knew it was going to be a good fit when our dog actually ate her food while Ashley was dropping in. That is a rare thing for our old girl. Thank you Ashley!”

About: I’ve been around pets (mostly dogs) since I was about 10. From family pets to friends pets, life is just better with them in it. I work a hybrid work schedule. Usually WFH on Mondays and Fridays, and in the office Tuesday-Thursday from 9-4 in Frisco. I can be pretty flexible within reason! I live in an apartment complex that has two dog parks, recently upgraded. I live off the Katy trail so I walk at least 3 miles nearly every day if your pup loves exercise!! I let pets on the furniture, and don’t mind sharing my bed. I want your pets to be as comfortable as possible while away from you.
“I’m so grateful I found her! She is so great at communicating and always keeps me updated, which gives me so much peace of mind. I’m especially thankful that I’m able to use her for the month that I’m here. She has been so kind, reliable, and wonderful to work with. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for someone they can truly trust with their pets! 🐾🤍”

“Eamon has continued to be an amazing caretaker for Lola. He is attentive to her needs and loves spending time with her. He has been nothing but amazing to work with and again I will continue to use him for any needs going forward.”

“Em was amazing for our drop in walk and feed! She was on time and the pictures and report card were thorough. We would definitely book her again when we need to!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Riverside
Haley was so kind! This was my first time using rover or having anyone watch the cats and I was very nervous to leave them for the weekend. Haley met them before starting drop in visits and even my super shy/ skiddish cat came right up to her which definitely calmed my nerves!!! I got cutie pictures and updates with every drop in. I will definitely rebook Haley if I need to again❤️

I 100% recommend her! She was so sweet with my kitties, played with them, and took really good care of them. She’s very kind, always on time, and you can tell she genuinely loves animals and enjoys what she does. I felt really comfortable having her take care of my babies, and I’ll definitely book her again next time I need a cat sitter! 🤩💖

Olivia is enthusiastic and committed to doing the best for your pets. My two big dogs loved her, and she handled the responsibilities of not only my dogs but an Amazon parrot, and two reef tanks. She followed my specific instructions very well. I can recommend her for any house sitting visits you may need for your dog (or other creatures!).

Ashley did an amazing job caring for my senior cat while I was out of town! She provided excellent communication, sent updates, and clearly showed genuine affection and care for my cat. The entire experience was easy and completely stress-free! I will absolutely trust Ashley with my cat again in the future, and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable pet sitter!
