About: I treat every pet like my own, taking time to understand their unique personality and needs. From playful puppies to senior dogs, I adapt my care to keep them safe, happy, and loved. I’m reliable, attentive, and always keep pet parents updated with regular photos and messages. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because caring for animals is something I genuinely enjoy and prioritize. I structure my day to make sure I have plenty of time for playtime, feeding, providing companionship, or just giving them some extra love and attention, I make pet care a consistent and seamless part of my day. It’s not just a task for me it’s something I look forward to. My family plays a huge part of this pet loving team and are very helpful. I care for pets by creating a safe, comfortable, and loving environment. I make sure they have a consistent routine with regular feeding times, bathroom breaks, playtime, and plenty of cuddles. I pay close attention to their behavior and needs, whether it’s making sure they get enough exercise, managing any special diets, or just giving them space to relax. I also keep my home clean, pet-friendly, and stocked with essentials like toys, treats, and comfy resting spots. We have 2 friendly dogs of our own to keep your fur baby company. Their happiness, health, and safety are always my top priorities.

“Davene has been a fantastic sitter for my puppy. While he is still a little timid and learning to be around other people who aren’t me, her updates to me show that he has warmed up to her, which shows that she truly cares for the pets she looks after.”
“Naomi took wonderful care of our dog Stella! She was on time, very responsive, and sent lots of great photos! We wouldn't hesitate to have Naomi take care of our dog in the future!”

About: Hi! I’m Kristen, a lifelong animal lover who’s cared for dogs, cats, rabbits, birds, and even reptiles. I’ve grown up surrounded by pets and know how special they are. I’ll treat your furry (or scaly) family member with the same love and care I give my own. Right now I work for an elementary school so I can be available before or after the school day and longer based on your needs/preferences. In my home, I make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved. Just like they would at home! I provide a calm, clean space, regular walks or playtime, and lots of affection.
“From the first visit to the last set of photos, Tina has been absolutely amazing. This was the first time I’d been away from the cats for more than two days, so I was a bit worried. The first pictures Tina sent were her and the cats playing/nuzzling. I was able to rest easy, knowing that I’d get my daily pictures, and that the kitties were happy. I will be using her again next time I go on vacation.”
About: I have taken care of animals my entire life, primarily cats but dogs and fish as well. Most other animals I put extensive research into the care of when considering owning them, and I would be more than happy to use that knowledge to give your animals the best care possible. I am currently working on continuing my education, so having a way to cover my bills that allows me a flexible schedule doing something I love seemed the perfect fit. Raising my own cat, Tabitha, from a kitten to be a very social, outgoing, sweet girl who loves going for harness walks has left me with a healthy appreciation of how well it works if you treat an animal with respect and expect the same. That being said, house rules come first, and I will make sure to enforce them in your absence.
About: Dogs have been a large part of my life since I was born. Family, friends, and neighbors known they can trust me with their furry friends. As a lifelong dog lover with experience caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities, I understand how important it is to know your pet is in good hands, so I focus on providing safe, reliable, and fun walks tailored to your dog's needs. I have lots of energy and a flexible schedule as a college student. I have worked with dogs of all ages including puppies and seniors. If you have any concerns, I want to work with you to deliver the best care possible. I am a college student so weekends work best for me during the semester! During the summer (May to August), I have much more availability; I am free all week and on weekends. I respect every dog owner's personal choices for caring for their pet. I want to abide by your rules and make you and your pet as comfortable as possible.

We have a huge fenced in yard so they can spend plenty of time outside. Make sure the pet is comfortable with my when I enter or a home or while they are at my home. I also have a camera in my home so I can monitor my dog while away.
“Amy went above and beyond with detailed notes and photos after each visit. She was so kind, professional, and timely. It is always hard to leave your pets but we felt at ease leaving our kitties in Amy’s care. She made our first experience with Rover a really positive one. We will definitely be using Amy for all of our future pet sitting needs!”
About: I have had many of my neighbors have asked to take care of their pets in the past. I’ve been doing so since the 4th grade Before I moved from college, my dog that i’ve had for 6 years has been a significant part of my life. My family and I take my dog everyday including her in our daily routine I plan on adjusting methods toward each pet. some animals need different care, and I hope to make the pet feel safe, loved, and comfortable
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!
“Brianna was kind enough to accept our very last minute request and came over to meet the cats and get care instructions ahead of time. Very happy to have found a friendly and professional sitter in our new town.”
Riverside dog parents share their Rover experiences
Nicole is absolutely fantastic. As a first time dog owner, I was really nervous leaving my puppy for the first time and Nicole totally put my mind at ease right away - with texted updates and photos in addition to the very detailed reports! I felt so much better immediately! Her level of communication daily is such a relief to me and makes me so happy to see Penny having fun with her! She goes above and beyond everyday - keeping me posted when Penny is sick, taking our trash out, adding extra food when I forget. I truly can’t imagine what we would do without her and am so grateful that Penny is in the best hands when we are at work!! I recommend Nicole so highly!
Amber’s commitment to caring for my dogs cannot be overstated. Very few people in her position would have left the comfort of their homes to come out and take care of my dogs. She worked not only with me, but also with my sister, to care for four dogs in very harsh and potentially dangerous conditions due to the weather. Despite my unique situation due to a family emergency, she was incredibly flexible with rescheduling and accommodating adjustments when needed. She was responsive to my concerns throughout her care and even got back to me well outside of what I would consider normal business hours, especially since I was unable to respond during the day. Mind you this was on fairly short notice as well. I cannot recommend Amber enough.
Miranda is amazing! Both my puppies love her and are always happy to see and engage with Miranda. I always revive a very detailed report for every visit, she is very detail oriented and notices behaviors and/or makes very good recommendations. I totally trust her advise and insight
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!
