About: My name is Torie. I've had cats, dogs, birds, you name it, all of my life. I have had the joy of working as a dog bather/groomer for 12 years. I can't imagine life not being surrounded by animals. It feels really special making connections with dogs, and enhancing their lives. I look forward to meeting everyone and their furry companions! I am currently working part-time and have the availability to do visits and walks 2x per week. I am typically available Tuesdays and Fridays. I also have flexibility on Sundays. I always make sure I provide my dog with fresh water and food. I make sure he is walked multiple times per day, and given playtime in the yard. We also play hide and seek with treats in the house. My dog Bennett is my 8 year old child, and I would do anything for him!

About: Hi I’m Patty I’ve had dogs since I was 5. I had my golden retriever since I was 15 and lost him a couple years back.

About: Hi! I'm Melissa! A little bit about me. Growing up, our family always had dogs and cats. Since the moment I was born, I was raised alongside dogs and cats and at one point in my childhood we had three large breed dogs and 2 cats at once, so fun and crazy! This always nurtured my deep appreciation for animals from an early age. One of our family dogs even had three litters of puppies during my teenage years, giving me hands on experience caring for dogs and puppies of all ages and sizes. Today, I have my own dog in my own family home, a 76 pound English Coonhound rescue from Arkansas. Despite his high energy levels, strength and tendency to pull on the leash, I handle him confidently and independently. I adopted him through Philly Rescue Angels Inc., where I am also an approved foster. Family and friends have relied on me for years from a young age to let out, walk, feed, and play with their dogs whether it be when they need help on short notice or go on an extended vacation. In addition to my experience with dogs, I’ve had cats throughout my life and have fostered them as well. One of my cats even needed daily insulin injections for diabetes and I always handled that myself. My background has given me a well rounded understanding of animal care, and I take pride in my ability to provide attentive, compassionate, and responsible care for all of your pets! Since I am a nurse, I also understand most medical conditions and medication administration and precautions for pets as well, they're more similar to us than we realize! I am a registered nurse whom only works 3 days per week. I am quite flexible in my schedule and can move around my days easily if requested! I have a fenced in yard. I have a friendly dog to play with your pup! And an extra large crate if you need your pet crated at all. Pets are allowed on furniture in my house as well!

About: i’ve been taking care of pets all throughout my life. I graduated with a B.S in biology and I have experience from family and friends by dog sitting theres. I’m currently working part-time and i’m in school full time! That being said pet care can easily be fit into my schedule after 2pm during the weekdays and anytime throughout the weekend! i have a cute and sweet dog at home and a crate for your pet if necessary! I also Comforting, safe and pet friendly environment!

About: I am one of those people who hangs out with the dog or cat at a house party, rather than the people. I grew up with dogs, including one who was epileptic and needed daily medication. We also had a parakeet and several hamsters. As an adult I’ve kept lizards, frogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters, fish, and even co-habituated with a parrot for a few years. Nine years ago we adopted a rescue dog, who really made our family complete. Nearly all of our cats have lived into their golden years, so I have experience with daily insulin shots for a diabetic cat, and multiple medications and subcutaneous fluid injections for other cats. I will give the same level of attention and affection to your pets that I ask for of my own pet sitter. I’ve been caring for my own pets and the pets of friends and neighbors my entire life. I’ve helped rescue lost & abandoned animals. I’ve cared for and befriended all sorts of dogs - small, large, anxious, friendly, reactive. I prefer walking dogs on a harness as it allows me control without risk of injury to the dog. I’d love to meet you and your pets and see how I could be of service. I work from home with flex hours so am available as needed during the work day, after 9am. Weekends are very flexible. I can also do evening hours (until 7pm). I prefer to meet the animals with their human first, so we can get to know each other and I can understand the pets’ setup.

About: I’ve taken care of many dogs, cats, & even chickens! I will do my best to be available same day if needed! I treat every animal with the utmost respect as if they were my own! I’ve also fostered several dogs. Including a mom from South Carolina with her 9 puppies until every single one was adopted to their forever homes!!! I currently work full time but if you need me for drop ins , I’m available after 5:30 during week days & full availability on the weekends. I am also a wife & mother, plus have a pup of our own, that we rescued recently, named Autumn ! I will always put your pup first ! Safety, safety, safety! In your home I will follow your rules & provide the best care for your furry baby!

Riverside dog parents share their Rover experiences
Andrew was phenomenal! We used him to put our senior dog out 3 times a day while we were on vacation. He was caring, punctual, and great with updating me on how our dog was! My dog was also very comfortable with Andrew and had no problems eating or doing his business while we were away! He made sure our dog was very well taken care of! Definitely suggest Andrew if you want your mind at ease while leaving your animal when you go away!

Lorraine was fantastic and made my first Rover experience so easy. She came by for a meet-and-greet, took the time to explain how Rover visits work, and made sure I felt totally comfortable. During the drop-in, she gave my dog lots of love, followed all instructions, brought in a package, and even left a light on as requested. She also sent a sweet update and photos that gave me peace of mind. I’ll definitely be booking with Lorraine again!

Teresa did a great job from start to finish. We were very comfortable leaving our 2 dogs in her capable hands. She came in and immediately made the effort to bond with both. We could tell from the pictures we received that everything was going smoothly and our dogs were happy. We would highly recommend having Teresa take care of your pets.
