About: As the proud owner of a sweet, Chocolate Lab named Charlie Brown, I know firsthand that our animals aren’t “just pets”—they’re family! I offer professional, reliable drop-in visits and walks tailored specifically to your dog's unique energy levels and safety requirements. I’ll make sure your pets get plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, potty breaks, cuddles or whatever your pet loves most to make their day extra special. I’m happy to follow their usual routine and take the time to make them feel comfortable, happy, and cared for. I’ve always loved dogs and truly enjoy being around them. In fact, even when I’m on vacation, I find myself looking for ways to spend time with dogs! On my last vacation, I visited a local shelter and ended up taking one of the dogs out for the day—just because I wanted to give them some extra love, attention, and a fun break from the kennel and it was so rewarding. I genuinely love dogs! I’m also a cat lover and happy to care for your cats, too!

I’ll follow your pet’s normal routine and any special instructions you leave, and I’ll always treat your home and your pet with the same care and respect I would want for my own. //What a Premium Visit with Me Includes: * Safety-First Leash Manners: Attentive handling to ensure no slipping collars, harnesses or reactive encounters on walks. * Real-Time Digital Tracking: You will receive detailed Rover Cards with GPS walk routes, exact potty logs, and multiple high-quality photos during every visit. * Home Security Assurance: Diligent care taken with your home's locking mechanisms, alarm systems, and respect of your home. * Custom Routines: Strict adherence to your pet's precise feeding, requests & timelines.

“1,000% recomend Sam! This was my first time using this app. So I was a little apprehensive. I was leaving for a week and needed someone to watch my three cats.. my fur babies. As soon as I met Sam, I knew I chose the right person. She was warm great personality, big smile! I went away for a week, and Sam was on point checked in with pictures and updates every visit. By the third visit, my cats had warmed up to her and allowed her to pet them which warmed my heart! I felt so happy that I found a pet care giver, who could make my pets, feel safe, warm, and loved! thank you so much, Sam! I’ll be using you real soon again! 😀🐈⬛🐈⬛🐈⬛”
“Jessica took great care of our nervous little scaredy cat while we were away! We’ve booked her more than once, and we look forward to more bookings in the future.”
About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life! I grew up caring for dogs of all ages and sizes.. from tiny puppies to beloved senior dogs, and everything in between. ❤️ Over the years, I’ve had the opportunity to walk, feed, bathe, play with, and care for the pets of family, friends, and neighbors. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I treat every animal in my care like they’re part of my own family. Whether your pup needs a fun walk, some extra attention while you’re away, a bath and some TLC, or simply a reliable friend to keep them company, I’d love to help! 🐶🐾 Your pets’ happiness, safety, and comfort are always my top priority. ❤️ I am currently a stay at home Mom so I am home daily, mostly all day. We enjoy taking walks and spending lots of time outside! We have pleanty of chew toys, balls, and frizbees!! I have a fenced in gass yard, lots of space to run around freely. Our animals are aloud on couches, so yours will be too!

I have respect and care for those willing to let me help with their fur babies.
About: I’ve had a family dog since I was 7 years old and now I have my own! I have always had such a strong love for animals and I love sharing it with animals other than my own. I used to take care of dogs on rover a few years ago and now I’m back!! I’ve taken care of my friends or neighbors pets when they're away and I absolutely love it! I’ve taken care of dogs that were a few weeks old up to dogs that are into their teens! I can walk, bathe, play with them whatever you and your pet needs!

I make sure they get their exercise in, their food, and anything else they need. I guarantee I will never do anything unauthorized by the owner and will soley focus on your animal.

About: My extensive experience in pet care is founded on a deeply rooted love for animals and a commitment to providing top-notch service. What sets me apart from other sitters is my personalized approach tailored to each pet's unique needs and personality. Whether it's walking a puppy, or providing gentle care for senior pets, I have a versatile skill set that ensures every furry friend in my care receives the attention and support they deserve. My ability to adapt to various situations and my keen understanding of animal behavior enable me to create a safe and comfortable environment where pets thrive. Don't think I just stop at Cats and Dogs! I was a professional pet sitter for years and have watched and cared for Guinea Pigs, Hamsters, Fishes and a Pigeon (yes even a pigeon). I currently have 8 year old cat Begbie (gorgeous, grumpy and full of sass) 2 1/2 year old cat Dexter (always has his tuxedo on ready to crash events and full of spice) 3 guinea pigs (Norman, Joel and Donnie), they currently reside in their own room (with fences around the outlets), where they have plenty of room to forage, hide, run, whatever their tiny hearts desire. In essence, my passion for pets, sets me apart as a pet sitter who goes above and beyond to exceed expectations and provide peace of mind to pet owners. I can do AM and PM. I do work an 8-5, but have the flexibility to work times around to fit your needs! Weekends AM and PM as well but less restrictive Our cats are indoor cats and our guinea pigs are in a completely separate room (We do allow the cats to visit them, but supervised only)
About: I have had dogs my entire life; mainly German shepherds. In my adult life, I have rescued Pitbulls. I am capable of feeding, letting out/walking, playing with, sitting, and giving medicine to, if necessary. I learned to give fluids through IV under the skin to one of my pitbulls who was in kidney failure at the end of her life a few years ago. I am currently working part-time, which I am planning on giving up once I have enough clientele so that I can do what I really love to do. I will come to your home and take care of your pet there so that they are as comfortable as possible with someone new in their surroundings.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Riverside
Amber was absolutely wonderful with my dogs! She was caring, responsible, attentive, and made me feel completely comfortable knowing they were in good hands. She was very dependable and made sure they were well cared for while I was away. I truly appreciated the attention and care she gave them and would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving dog sitter. I would absolutely use her again! Thanks so much Amber
I couldn’t have asked for a better cat sitter! She was reliable, attentive, and genuinely caring with my cats. I received regular updates and photos, which gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. It was clear that she treated my cats with patience, love, and care as if they were her own. I came home to happy, well-cared-for cats and couldn’t be more grateful. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and compassionate to care for their pets!
Each week we are reminded of how lucky we are to have Olivia. You can tell how much she loves animals by how much fun she has with the photos she takes of our cat as well as how excited he gets to see Olivia. Her communication is on point, her service is on point, everything is on point
Miranda is awesome! She was able to fit me in for a last minute booking which I really appreciated. Over the four day booking, she earned the trust and affection of two cats. I am absolutely amazed because these cats are notoriously quite spicy 😂 She also administered daily medicine and sent many pics each day. You can trust Miranda to make your time away from your furry children stress free - highly recommend!

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Riverside stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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.

- 96% can help with daily exercise

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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
