“Macy is a great cat sitter! I was out of town for a weekend and Macy watched my anxious senior fluff ball while I was gone. I got tons of in detail updates about him and he even came out when Macy stopped by, which is unusual for him since he can be a bit scared of new people! I came home to a very happy kitty, so I’d definitely recommend Macy as a cat sitter!”
“Bradley aka the cat whisperer did a fabulous job taking care of our little fluff ball. He was able to bring a very shy girl out of her shell. Shocking to us because she typically runs from anyone trying to get close to her. He was prompt and took great care when visiting our home. We would highly recommend Bradley for anyone needing someone they can trust with their little fur babies while out of town.”
“Britany was wonderful. She was available very last minute and took good care of our 3 cats and was even willing to feed a community cat that shows up. We would hire her again if needed.”
“She was amazing! Ivy can be a little bratty, but Emma was awesome and got her to warm up quickly! Will definitely rebook with her!!! Always prompt, kind, and caring!!!”
“Liset is awesome! She was extremely sweet and patient with my cats as they are usually shy. She took the time to gain their trust and make them feel safe. I would absolutely recommend her to any other fur parents”
About: My name is Anna, and I'm an avid animal lover. I grew up with pets my entire childhood, and I now have my own cats and a dog! I've walked, fed, and done daily pet check-ins for neighbors and friends. I have worked with many different dogs, cats, and fish. I work a 9 - 5 on weekdays, so I can check on or walk your pet in the mornings or evenings. I’m pretty flexible on weekends! I make pet care my #1 priority! I'm used to waking up early, cleaning up vomit, and the occasional scratch or bite. I also love spoiling all pets with special treats, enrichment games, and lots of play-time. I only want the best for you and your pet. My line of communication is always open. I'll care for your pet like my own.
“Megan has taken care of our cats for years and we have always been thrilled with the level of professionalism and love she demonstrates. We have a multitude of cats and she treats them like her own. We highly recommend Megan!”
“Leesa was reliably on time for her visits. She also spent a little extra time with my kitty, Neva, during our booking. She spent time playing and sitting outside with Neva as well. I would absolutely book Leesa again!”
“Jenny did an excellent job taking care of my two kitties. She sent lots of pictures everyday and kept them both fed, clean, and happy. Even my shy kitty came out to see her! Wonderful job, absolutely recommend!!”
“Isabel was the best sitter we’ve had in a long time! Our cat was so well loved, I think he started to miss her! Followed instructions wonderfully, communicated with us through every visit, and provided detailed updates on him (with tons of pictures!!). she’s definitely our only choice next time we need a sitter!”
“Excellent. I really enjoyed Abby's reports and pictures of Jack the Cat. Abby was very thoughtful, thorough, and spent time with him. I appreciate all her caring words and the service she provided. She really cares and I felt comfortable knowing she was taking time.”
“Sierra is VERY good with cats! (Or at least with mine!) I appreciated the daily updates on her bm's, urine outputs, and daily photos! It helped me not worry so much about being away. I plan to hire her again in the near future!”
“Thank u for hanging out with them! And it looks like my long time regular tuxedo stray is back! So relieved to know he is alive after the winter storms! Do u mind filing up the metal food bowl in kitchen on floor near sink and fill up kibble from the boys container to go with the "smoothie" drink? And what is your venmo?”
About: I have cared for many dogs over the last 15 years. I am able to care for puppies to senior dogs and have experience giving medications, if needed. I am home all day and looking to fill the void of missing my pup who passed recently. I am able to care for your dog hands-on and will give lots of love and interaction. I have a completely fenced yard that your dog will have unlimited access to. I also provide at least one long walk every day, if your pup likes to get out and enjoy nature.
About: When my husband and I first started talking to each other it was to set up puppy play dates with our dogs and the rest is history! We both have had dogs since we were kids. Our family and friends know that their dogs are always welcome at our house anytime they come over. Our two boys enjoy playing with our dogs and give the best belly rubs around! We are both teachers and work during the week from 7-4. We are available on the weekends. We are off most holidays and during the summer. We have a fully fenced in back yard. We have two friendly dogs. One that is younger and loves to run and play. One that is older and plays for a bit, but then just likes to chill for awhile. Dogs are allowed on furniture and we have dog beds they can lay on. We also have hard wood floors, so the occasional accident is no big deal.

Riverside cat parents share their Rover experiences
Petey was so helpful w my grumpy elder male cat. He cleaned up after him even when he spotted poo markings on a chair, and kept me up to date on how he was doing w his meds, poops (big part of his diabetes and elder cat needs) and spirit :) wish I could use him again in Nola but he'll be moving to OH! Good luck and thanks so much Petey!

Felicia went above and beyond while checking in on our little dude! She played with him, brought in a few packages, and even went BACK to the house to put Factor meals in the freezer after they delivered/we forgot to cancel the delivery for that week. Will absolutely be using her services again in the future!!
