“Pups loved Robin. This was our first try with a drop in and her ability to deal with two very active dogs with food, meds, and getting them out and back in was perfect. We will definitely use Robin again.”
“I have been using for a couple of times now. She is 💯 reliable and I can always count on her to giving loving far to my cat Rin. I wanted a sitter that can give lots of cuddles and love in addition to providing care ( cleaning litter, water etc). She is the person.”
“Thank you Mariah. I’m glad Birdie greeted you and you captured a lot of great pictures. It really does the heart well to see your fur baby is ok while traveling. Until next time. 😻”
“Dakota did several drop in visits for my two dogs and they love her so much! She’s the absolute best. I will definitely book her again. It was nice to go away and not feel stressed about leaving my dogs at a kennel.”
“Having never used a pet sitter for our 3 cats we didn’t know what to expect. After chatting with Stephanie, our minds were set at ease. She did wonderfully with our 3, one of whom needs daily medication. She sent daily updates and pictures. If we need a pet sitter again she would definitely be our first choice!”
“Brodi took great care of our Siberian cat. She sent pictures of our girl each day and kept her fed, watered and engaged her in play. Our cat was a happy girl when we arrived home from vacation. Brodi was an excellent cat sitter! :)”
“Mason was exceptional. She allowed me to book her literally last minute and said she could visit the pups without me home (emergency work trip). She was prompt and took great care of my pups, asking me any questions she had to best care for them. She sent me plenty of pics and the pups loved her!”
About: I’ve had dogs of every kind growing up! Also as a military brat I’ve taken care of dogs in all types of situations and places. Whatever you and your dog needs to feel safe and comfortable I will do! I’m currently out for the summer from college, so I figured pet care would be a great thing for me to do while I’m here! I take my dog for walks, feed him, and play with him everyday! I’ll do whatever you need me to do for your pets, in your house!

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of all kinds since I was 10. Neighbors, friends, and family have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and love their pets like my own. I’m comfortable with puppies, senior dogs, and pets that need extra patience. I always make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away. I am a college kid home for summer and this will be my full time job so as long as there are no other pet sitting jobs I should be free whenever you need me! I treat every pet like they’re my own and always follow any specific instructions you leave. Whether I’m in your home or mine, I make sure pets are safe, calm, and comfortable. I keep doors secure, avoid unsafe areas on walks, and give your pet the love and attention they need to feel at home—even when you’re away.
About: While I do not have professional experience, I have a vast experience with many animals. My family has had Pitbulls, Weiner dogs, Cats, and even rats, etc. I know how to care for various types and sizes of pets and frequently take care of my neighbors 3 dogs (walking all at the same time, one big dog and two wild medium ones), and 3 cats. I adore pets. I currently can't have my own due to where I live so I love to visit friends and family to see their pets <3. I am free most days of the week and can schedule around any time during the weekday. While I can work weekends, I will need a schedule ahead of time. I will make sure your "Furr babies" are safe and feel loved while the parents/owners are away or busy. I don't mind cleaning up any mess they make or if they need to be frequently walked every hour. I am also open to bathing and grooming if requested, I have experience with clipping nails, bathing, ear cleaning, brushing, etc.
“Emma was great with our dog! She arrived on time each day at my home as scheduled while my family and I were out of town. She was professional and friendly the entire time. She also sent pictures of our dog from each visit.”

Riverside cat parents share their Rover experiences
Eric took care of my two cats while I was away on vacation, and I could not have asked for a better experience. He was pleasant and easy to work with from start to finish. It was clear he took excellent care of them. When I got home, both cats were relaxed, happy, and clearly well looked after. That peace of mind means everything to me when traveling. His check-in cards always made my day, and he sent some fantastic photos that reassured me they were doing great. I really appreciated the thoughtful updates and attention to detail. I highly recommend Eric and absolutely plan to use his services again for future travel.
