Cat Sitting in Riverside

“Miranda did a great job watching over my two cats, Ninja and Scraps while I was away on vacation. I definitely would recommend her and will be using her again in the future! She left great notes and made me feel at ease while I was away. 😁 Thank you. This was the first time I have used Rover and it was a great experience. Miranda also help me understand how to use the app since I made some silly mistakes.”

“Amy has done a great job learning how to care for my pet goats — a bit of an unusual Rover request! She’s punctual and detail-oriented, and has done a great job for their drop-in visits. Thanks, Amy!”

“Jillian was great! She made sure our 2 kitties were well taken care of! Our kitties were given lots of love and played with everyday! Very easy communication and she took great pics of the cats!”

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs for over 30 years. I currently have 7 rescue dogs who range in age from 3-16 and weigh 6-26 lbs. I’m also an active foster for the Burlington County Animal Alliance. I’ve fostered close to 30 dogs this past year alone. I currently work full time, but am home Fridays Saturday and Sundays. The days I’m home I will take excellent care of any babies I’m dog sitting. I have a spacious backyard with a secure 6-foot fence, perfect for safe playtime. My home is full of happy pups who love making new friends. I do have crates available if needed, but most dogs prefer snuggling in bed with me or relaxing on one of the many cozy dog beds throughout the house.

About: My goal is to provide the pest possible service for your family. I am just getting started with Rover and not so busy yet. I think some great reviews would help and that is good news for you because great reviews require providing great service. Seriously, I am a senior looking to supplement my income like all old guys but I truly love dogs. It may seem strange but I feel a connection and able to communicate. So how about a shot to give you some great service so I can great reviews and fill my calendar a bit. Often times the fewer words the better but below gives you a window into some personal pet experiences. Pets have been a part of my entire life. My first adolescent memory is of Jacque, a prissy French Poodle with an attitude that Mom would let me dress up complete with overcoat, booties and of course a French beret. Ginger was a large orange tabby cat that could have been Garfield's stunt double. My parents attempt at teaching me responsibility actually worked. Married in 1971 our life together started with Figaro, looked just like the cat from Pinocchio. All black with white paws very sneaky, overly curious and slightly narcissistic. Figora belonged to my wife and he made that very clear. Sabrina, a very shiny grey Siamese joined us when my sister went to school. Sabrina was very anti social and did not like anybody. House guests could spend an entire weekend and never see her. She tolerated us but Sabrina and Figora had shall we say, an understanding. Neither were ever outdoors or saw the light of day. With the family developed and 3 boys later came Thunder. He was a rescue Sheppard mix. He was very active, playful, mischievous and very funny. He was more than a handful and we still laugh and talk about things that he did. As he became an adult dog, by years not behavior for sure, friends in a rural area expressed how much they loved Thunder. We just could not break their hearts and allowed them to adopt Thunder. We visited often. After some time Briar came into the picture. My wife's girlfriend became ill and unable to care for a large majestic Bovier de Flanders. Her coat was amazing. Very heavy and thick. Kids on the street would ask if she was a bear. When someone rang the doorbell Briar would announce them and greet them in an extremely loud intimidating manor. The caller could have just opened the door and patted her end and should would just give love and affection. She was kind gentle and helpful to everyone. Except, if you were to approach my wife in an aggressive manor or touch her, you were taking your life in your own hands. She was never taught to protect her, but protect she did. Amazing breed characteristics and lots of stories. We learned she had a UTI and was her kidney. We prolonged her life as long as possible and realized the treatment and medication were selfish on our part and chose her comfort over our love for her. So hard. My most recent pet experience was Pike, a brindle pit bull, male and Roxy, female dachshund. We started to foster them temporarily while my son traveled for work and turned to an extended stay their last years. Roxy ruled the roost for sure and was always funny when you considered their statute let alone breed but she was boss. We called them the odd couple. I would take them with me to work often and Pike made sales calls with me. He was truly my road dog. We lost them both within a month. We lost them both just before pandemic, they were 16-17 best guess. My son was the one that literally rescued Pike while he was chained to a dumpster in Rittenhouse Square all day in the rain. With lots of patience and love from everyone close, I watched him transform from an otherwise unfriendly, aggressive, animal hating Pit Bull transform to the sweetest, gentlest, ready to please member of the family. I do not have any formal training training nor have done training professionally but I am up for the challenge. I know and understand the 7 basic commands, hand signals, concepts and have a tremendous amount of patience. There are a lifetime of story's how I was the only one that got along with the shop dog or the neighbors dog or a particular. Hope to meet you and your Pups soon, Rocci I am retired and available 9:00am to 9:00 pm right now I don't need much notice. I am hoping to develop relationships with dogs by providing outstanding service I have a French yard that houses all the dogs and cats and the other animals as well as an area in the garage where we keep all the toys

“David was great! He took great care of my cat. He was communicative, caring and provided lots of updates. Will definitely book again”

About: Dogs are my life! I’ve had a dog longer than I can remember and couldn’t imagine life without one. I promise to love your pets as much as you do (hard to believe, but trust me!) I am super laid back, communicative, and trustworthy. I’ve never met a dog I didn’t like or immediately have a connection with. I have two dogs of my own Beau, a pit bull mix, and Buddy, a yorkie. They are my best buds and they are stuck to me like glue! We are constantly going on walks or playing in my yard to keep them active and happy. In the end, I’m just looking to hangout with some dogs when their owners can’t be there to make sure they never feel alone!

“Rosabella is so great! She plays with my cats, talks with them and takes pictures twice a day. Feel totally comfortable leaving my kitties with her. Kathe Goddard”

“Gabby was great, very flexible and kept us updated about our cat while we were away. Reassured us that she was doing well and made sure that food and water were adequate. She even managed to play with our shy cat who rarely comes out for anyone else Would definitely rebook”

About: I have been a pet owner since I was a child. I have had all types of animals from guinea pigs, to fish, to dogs of all sizes and cats of course! I grew up with Dobermans, German Shepard’s and Pit Bulls, so dogs of any size/ breed will be in great hands! I’ve babysat since I was 13 for families with pets and would include their care along with the children's’ and would often been asked to pet sit while families went on vacation. I work from home and have availability to pop in throughout the day, or give your pet consistent company when boarding or house sitting. Pets are a part of your family and I want to help make sure that they get a walk in, extra head scratches, and anything else they might need during the day! I also am available for overnight and long term care! I work from home, and have flexibility during the day for dog walks and boarding. Typical schedule includes a walk in the morning 2-3 walks/dog park in the afternoon/ evening, and then a walk before bed. Walks and potty breaks every 2-4 hours and I have A fenced in dog run in my apartment building. Will utilize dog parks at owners discretion!

About: Hello pet parents! I'm Danni and I absolutely love everything about dogs. They're so cute, sweet and playful! I've had a dog all my life until recently (apartment restrictions) and they have been various sizes and breeds. I have also been a dog walker and sitter for a company that gave me experience handling and interacting with shelter and elderly dogs; I also have experience giving oral tablet medication at specified times. I understand that not every dog has come from a happy home and I will put an effort into earning their trust (I've done so with two shelter dogs with severe anxiety and I love them) because I know that it will mean so much in the long run. Other than long walks on sunny days, I love playing with your pup's favorite toy and fetch is my favorite game. I can't wait to meet your furry friend!

“Julie is very reliable. She visited during our pre-scheduled times, spent time with each of our cats and provided wonderful updates and photos. We were able to enjoy our vacation that much more knowing our two boys were in good hands.”
