“Leesa was wonderful with our girls! She always sent updates throughout the day and made sure that we knew how well they were being taken care of. Leesa took the time out of her day to visit with our dogs a few times even before our vacation so she could get to know them, and so they would be comfortable with her. After a long day of traveling home we came home to a clean house, handwritten note, and two happy dogs :) We will be booking with Leesa again for any upcoming vacations that we may have!”
“Casey took wonderful care of our furry ones; especially our dog, Crowley! We will certainly request their assistance again and recommend whenever we can!”
“Monroe did an amazing job taking care of my dogs and was very flexible. I have a lot of anxiety leaving them and she did a good job checking in and letting me know how they were doing. Definitely would book with her again!”
“Katie was absolutely amazing! She was willing to come do a meet and greet with our dogs before house sitting and then treated them so well the entire time she watched them. She sent multiple updates with pictures everyday which gave us some much needed peace of mind while away for the weekend. We will definitely be reaching back out to her again!”
“Rebecca was absolutely amazing! She was available for a 5 day, 4 night stay at a short notice. She sent daily updates on our two girls who were doing amazing. They got cuddles, walks and all of the attention that I would have given them. Being away from home can be stressful, but the one thing I didn't have to worry about was the great care that was being given to our dogs!! Can't say enough good things!”
“Ella took amazing care of our pets while we were out of town for 10 days. She sent us several pictures and short updates about the games our dogs played each day. She followed all our instructions, and we could see how happy our girls were with her. She stayed in our home the entire time, and when we returned, the house was spotless. She even left a thoughtful handwritten note on the kitchen counter summarizing how our pets behaved, what they did, and a few details about her stay and our home. We highly recommend Ella for pet and house sitting, and we will definitely contact her again the next time we’re out of town. Thanks again, Ella!”
“Janice was amazing while taking care of Nacho and house sitting. Updated and pics were frequent and reassuring. House and Nacho were well taken care of. Will definitely look to book again. Thank you Janice!”
“Victoria was so great with our puppy during his first time with us away from home. He’s very skeptical of strangers, but we got pictures of them snuggling on the couch the next day! We were able to relax on our trip knowing that he was well taken care of.”
“Emma helped out at the last minute when the original plan fell through and I needed someone before an important weekend out of town! She took great care of Finley and he was extremely happy!”
“Couldn't be happier with Bri service! From the moment we met, it was clear they truly love dogs. My pups instantly felt comfortable with her and I could tell they were in good hands. Throughout the stay, Bri kept me updated with pictures and messages, showing how much fun Remi and Charlie were having. Whether it was walks, playtime, or cuddles, they were provided so much attention and care. I came home to a happy, well-exercised, and relaxed dogs, which made me feel so at ease while I was away. Bri was also very professional—punctual, easy to communicate with, and left everything clean and tidy. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and loving dog sitter. Will definitely be booking again!”
“I give Ben an A++. I couldn’t have asked for a better new buddy and caregiver for my fur babies. Ben’s calm and welcoming presence is exactly what my dog needed while I was away. I feel so much better knowing they are just as cared for and loved as when I am home.”
“Megan was friendly, professional and punctual. She stayed in contact while I was away (which helped to work through some unforseen issues) and sent pictures and videos of my cat while she house sitted. She also seems to be some kind of cat whisperer since my cat is not friendly with many people but seemed to take to her immediately. She also helped me navigate the Rover site for booking what I wanted and planned ahead to avoid letting my cat out into a storm (I was out of town and unaware of the situation). I would highly recommend Megan for your pet sitting needs.”
About: I am a dog lover! 🐾 Well, I adore animals in general. I love being able to give them the care they need. I have no children of my own but I am a full-time dog mom and cat mom. I have cared for dogs and cats my entire life. Plus, I do not mind cleaning up messes! Spoiling pups and cuddling are two of my favorite things. Dog walks are fun for both of us because we both get exercise and fresh air! I have a wonderful, sweet-as-can-be pup at my house named Mister. He gets along well with the cats. He is a nice boy but if he needs to be separated I am prepared to do so, he has a crate. It would be ideal for your dog to have one too if he/she comes to my house. I am very excited to sign up for Rover~ I'm really looking forward to meeting and caring for pups! 🐕 At this point in time I am available on Saturdays only. I am starting a new job and soon I will update my new availability in the near future. ☺️ I have a fenced yard at my house and a dog who would LOVE to be friends~ (if the owner says it's okay and the dogs get along well together, of course)! If I am dog sitting at your house I will follow care instructions and behave as if I am on camera. Showing respect to your home is important to me and providing excellent care for your dog is #1!
About: I grew up on a farm caring for all kinds of animals, which taught me responsibility, patience, and instinct. I provide dependable, attentive care tailored to your pet’s unique needs. I work a very flexible job that allows me to work from home when needed to take care of your pets during the day. I am free almost every evening and weekend. When caring for pets in their home, I prioritize keeping their routine as consistent and stress-free as possible. I follow all feeding, walking, and medication instructions exactly as given, and I take time to bond with each pet through play, attention, and calm companionship. I keep the home tidy, respect the space, and provide regular updates so owners feel at ease while they’re away. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved in their own environment.

Riverside pet parents share their Rover experiences
Brooke took fantastic care of my dog Pimienta while I was out of town for a few days. She provided multiple daily updates with several photos apiece, in each of which I saw my dog content (or at least well cared for). Updates were also provided for her medicinal regimen, and the relevant instructions followed. The house was left tidy, and I came back to a well-exercised, very happy puppy. Would recommend, will book again.
Jadyn was our first dog sitter experience and we couldn’t be happier. We had so much anxiety going on vacation with a brand new puppy. Jadyn had a metal fencing for him, sent pictures and videos of him going on his very first walk and put our worries at ease. We’ll definitely use her again and would recommend her services. We appreciate making our vacation so much for relaxing. ☺️
