“Ashley is amazing and so knowledgeable with dogs. She is willing to walk our doggo in this freezing weather! Thank you Ashley for all you do! You truly are a blessing to us!!”
“We love Mary! We have two old dogs who need extra attention, and a third who is high energy. Mary takes fantastic care of them! We highly recommend her! Thank you, Mary, for taking such great care of our hounds!”
“Peace of mind. Our pooch was in very good hands. Maybe too good. Arriving home Storm acted indifferent to our home coming. She was excited to see us but not like if she was in a kennel for 10 days. Very good job.”
“Great with the dogs and ensures a mid day run/play time for the dogs. Pups are always excited to see him. Have already recommended Wesley to friends and coworkers.”
About: I have loved and cared for pets all of my life! Throughout high school, I volunteered several hours at a local animal shelter until I was old enough to work for them. After several years and life changes, I am currently a dog bather at a local salon. In addition to sitting, check-ins, and walks, I offer basic grooming services (nail trim/grinds, ear cleaning, and brushing. Bath/Dry services TBA) I work part time Wednesday through Sunday midday. I will be available for services those same days. I am NOT available Sunday evenings through Tuesday evenings. I cannot accommodate pets in my home as I have pets of my own. I am flexible and able to accommodate most needs in a client’s home.
“Jackie and Addison are the best! Ophelia and Lou warmed up to them right away! We are so happy we found them! When our schedule changed they were happy to help to accommodate us!”
“We just loved how easy this was. She was dependable and very kind. Kitchi seemed to love her from the pics we saw. It made our trip so much easier and we had a great time knowing Kitchi was in good hands. Excellent service! Thanks!!”
About: Honestly I love taking care of animals. I have a few of my own. Salem (cat) and Oscar (pup) Salem is very laid back and so friendly it’s insane. And Oscar being a puppy loves being around anyone and any pet. I currently work full time M-F but please know I will always make time for your fur babies. I’m usually available after 5pm on weekdays and I’m always available on weekends. I do not have a fenced in yard unfortunately but I do have a big grass area behind my house. We have a dog park we can go to nearby if permitted by owner
“Morgan is very attentive and a great communicator! She has gone above and beyond to help with my baby and I’m so grateful! Will be having Morgan help with my girl while I’m here on contract work 🥰”
“Karissa is so sweet and always treats our dog with such kindness when she visits. She’s also great with communicating about my dog and what her behaviors are that day. Makes me feel like I’m there in person! Thank you so much!”
About: I am currently in a living situation where I can’t have my own pets so trust and believe I will treat your fur children like my own babies! I work part time, so not only do I need the extra income but I but have quite a bit of time and love to give to your fur babies! I only sit your fur babies in their own environments, so they feel safe and know where all their familiar things are while you are gone. If they are down for a ride I am more than willing to safely transport them with me on my errands.
“Samantha was so nice and took great care of my lab. It was my first time using Rover and she went out of her way to set me at ease with entrusting my furbaby to her care!”
About: I have taken care of dogs, cats, and turtles for about 10+ years. I have worked at a kennel before taking care of dogs and cats that were boarded! I have also worked at a vet clinic as a vet tech assistant for a few months. I love caring for animals and making sure they feel safe and comfortable and while their family is away! I currently work part time and go to school but it’s a flexible schedule so I will make plenty of time for your fur baby! I will not be offering your pets to stay at my own home however I can ensure you I will be over at your house caring for your pets and watching them when I am not at work or school. I can also send updates every day. I used to work at a vet so I’m familiar with precautions and safety for your fur babies. I’ve also had a dog of my own for 5 years and I had one for 11 years before my fur baby now!
About: I work well with all animals. I have trained Pomeranians, Rottweilers, and everything between usong positive reinforcement. I understand they have different needs and none are the same. I listen to your animal. I have cats, a dog, and a bearded dragon. Big dogs don't scare me. Tiny dogs don't either. Cats are to be respected and reptiles are fun. Routines are important to all animals. I work 6:30 am to 3:30 pm daily but am happy to do morning or evening check ins walks or clean ups. My dog loves evening walks. Safety is number one priority and pets will be kept on a leash and with me when outdoors. They are like toddlers and need consistent supervision.
About: I love to spoil your dog whenever they’re with me with love plus we love to go to dog parks! I will treat your fur babies as they’re apart of my household. Currently since I’m in an apartment I don’t have access to a place for your dogs to roam, so I will come to you! I work Monday- Friday 8:00-2:30, so mostly I am free in the evenings or on the weekends! If I was babysitting your dog during the week I’d make time for them. I will follow whatever schedule you have for your fur baby and they will get to hangout with me the whole time and get attention.
About: I own 5 cats of my own they are my pride and joy my cats are my everything and I understand people needing so find someone good to take care of them. I also have 3 dogs 2 chihuahuas and 1 aussie i’m also open to caring for reptiles and such since i’ve had literally every animal. I also am good with puppies or sr dogs I am currently working part time mon, wed, friday and saturday I also have school 2 days a week on tuesdays and thursdays I am always available all day on sunday and school ends at 5 so I can always drop in after school! I make sure dogs go out when needed and probably more times just in case and the dogs just love it outside. As well as making sure dogs are fed at the right time. I always make sure my cats are fed and litter boxes are cleaned.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 2,142 sitters on Rover offering Pet 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.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .
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 Rover Guarantee , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Riverside. On Rover:
- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
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 Meet & Greet .
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
