“Our second time using Brandy and always she was great! We had a long day away from the pup and Brandy was able to come in and feed her and let her out for many potty brakes, thus making our time away more enjoyable for us to be away knowing our pup is being cared for! ❤️”

“This was our first time having Alyssa as our house sitter and it was for quite a long stay. I’ve had some challenging experiences in the past, but Alyssa made me feel very secure in her ability to take care of all the animals. She was communicative, reliable and overall just had great energy about her. We feel really fortunate to have found her and we hope to use her in the future! Thank again Alyssa, we really appreciate you!”

“Mackenna was super easy to communicate with, reliable, and thorough! She gave me detailed updates and photos and I knew she was watching and loving my dogs as if her own. Have Mackenna booked for later this summer!!”

“Did a great job, came by to meet Bailey who was pretty shy at first. Everything seems to have gone well and according to all the pictures we received Bailey was having a lot of fun with the attention.”

About: I love animals and will care for your pet as if it were my own! I grew up with a rabbit and a dog and have been around animals for my whole life. Most recently, I have been helping to nurse my senior dog back to health after a knee surgery. I am currently unemployed and seeking opportunities for income until I land a more permanent job. I have a very flexible schedule and am willing to make most anything work for you! Unfortunately I cannot offer my home for services, because my dog is getting older and can be temperamental with other canines...however in your own home I am an attentive, loving, and engaging sitter! I've spent time with dogs of all sizes and personalities and l look forward to opportunities to help family members/friends/neighbors with their furry friends.
About: I have been taking care of pets since I was a teen. I love walking and have experience with reactive, shy, and energetic dogs and cats. I have been referred time and again for my reliability and individualized attention to each animal I encounter. I have a very flexible schedule and I am looking to fill my time and energy with extra pet support for anyone who's in need! I am happy to walk in your neighborhood, take your pup for a hike and just hang out at home for the nervous or senior dogs. I can work with your routine and your pets individual needs.
“Emily is so great with our dogs and was recently so patient with us too when we made her life harder by misplacing the hidden key! She went and picked up another key from a friend and was able to care for our dogs. She went above and beyond for us and we couldn’t be more grateful!!”

About: Taking a break from being a pet foster to pet sit again. I was a vet tech for 8 years and I have owned pets for 30 years. I can administer any medications needed. I will also watch dogs that have behavioral issues and I have no breed restrictions. My schedule provides the ability to watch puppies and provide them with the frequent play and bathroom breaks they need. I can also take your pet to any appointments they may have while you are out of town. I am unable to watch pets in my home. I will take your dog on hikes with me if you want or will take them on a stroll in your neighborhood. My work allows me to work from home so when I am pet sitting, I am able to spend a lot of time with your pet. When I am taking care of someone's pet, I treat them as if they were my own. I know that keeping their routine helps to minimize any stress of their owner being away.
“Alyssa was a terrific cat sitter for both of my cats one of which required administering medication. They seemed well taken care of and happy when I came home. She also brought in packages left for us while we were away. She was prompt each day,had excellent and swift communication, and was reliable, and dependable!”

About: I was raised in a dog and cat household and loved taking care of them. For the brief time in my adulthood that I did not have a pet, I would dog/cat sit for a various families often. I am fond of elderly dogs/cats and have taken care a few (including giving medications, shots, cooking specific diets, etc). I am also comfortable feeding farm animals such as horses and mules. I work full-time from my home allowing flexible time to play and care for animals. My outings are usually quick errands around town so my pets get a lot of dog mom time! I am available to do longer stays given that I work remote and love making pets feel safe and comfortable whilst their owners are away. I have a fenced-in yard and 2 friendly dogs (lab and border collie mix) to keep your furry loved one company! I also play music often for myself and for the dogs. I find it helps soothe some anxiety for them as well!
“Alyssa was wonderfully attentive for the drop-in visits we scheduled to take care of our two cats. All of the instructions were followed precisely and she provided all the photos I requested (worried for a cat who doesn't eat well when we're not at home). She also provided great notes with context of what she observed during her visits. We met for a meet & greet at the house and to go over the care routine, and we were impressed with her pleasant and calm energy which is a must for any caretaker of our anxious cats. She provided not just the requested service but also peace of mind. Thank you Alyssa, we'll definitely be looking to book with you again!! 🙏😸”

About: I have grown up with all different types of animals like dogs, cats, guinea pigs, bunnies, etc. I am very much an animal lover and I treat all animals with love and respect! I have provided dog sitting services for over 10 years and have cared for dogs with all types of needs. I have experience in taking care of senior dogs, dogs with disabilities, dogs with high energy, and dogs of all sizes. I wouldn't say I have experience in professional training, but I have some experience in training my own dogs (and cat). I am currently a full-time nursing student with a part time job. My schedule is changing pretty frequently, but I am very organized and good at keeping my schedule updated. I am home most of the week doing classes online, so I do have a lot of extra time for pet sitting, dog walks, and drop ins! I pride myself in creating a safe and loving environment for all animals. I treat all animals with love and respect and I always aim to make sure they feel comfortable and safe. In my own home, I only have one cat, but I aim to make the home as safe and playful as I can for him. I intended to bring the same love to other people's homes.
“We had a great experience with Caitlin caring for our cats. She was always prompt with feeding times, and made sure to spend quality time playing with the cats. We really appreciated how attentive and thoughtful she was, with all of the written feedback and photos she took during each visit. We would be happy to book her again!”

Riverside cat parents share their Rover experiences
My cats and I had a great experience! Makenna clearly loves animals, was positive and patient, a prompt and detailed communicator, and followed all the expected pet routines. I was also absolutely delighted with the photos she shared each day - she was somehow able to capture my cat’s personalities each day and the photos were totally above and beyond what I was expecting. Would totally recommend Makenna!

Alexandra was so incredible! My cat is very nervous around new people, but she warmed right up to Alexandra, allowing Alexandra to pet her and even take her outside on her leash. Above that, Alexandra was prompt to each visit and ensured my cat had all the necessities.

Alyssa was amazing and took great care of our two kitties. She was responsive and trustworthy. We really appreciated the detailed notes after each visit and the pictures of our pets. She will definitely be our top choice next time we need a pet sitter. Thanks!
