“Anders was wonderful with our puppy! This was the first time we used Rover and we got in touch pretty last minute. They made time for a meet and greet that helped us feel comfortable, and in the week of drop-ins they were ontime every day and seemed to genuinely enjoy playing with Iris - playing catch, using our puzzle feeders, hooking up the splash pad, etc. Their attentiveness and communication made us feel much better about having someone else care for our pup in the middle of the day. Highly recommend!”
“As usual Erin did a wonderful job taking care of my kitties. She sends videos and photos so I know they are happy and eating well. They get all their mediation. I really appreciate all she does.”
“Crystal is an AMAZING cat-sitter — five stars honestly isn’t enough!! From the very beginning she was super quick to respond and so easy to communicate with. Every single day she sent the best detailed updates with photos, which made us feel completely at ease while we were away. She truly went above and beyond — not only did she manage our cat’s diabetic care perfectly (special food and insulin shots handled flawlessly!), but she even left us a framed photo of our cat. Who does that?! 🥹 When we got home, we could tell our cat genuinely missed Crystal — which says everything. We feel so lucky to have found her and would book her again in a heartbeat!”
“Carse has been wonderful with our baby while we’ve been out of town! She truly shows how much she cares for the animals in her care with her detailed messages and photos after a visit. I always have extra peace of mind knowing she’ll be caring for my kitty.”
“Bri was GREAT! She took such good care of our two kitties and sent us lots of pics and full reviews of each visit. She was an absolute pleasure and we look forward to booking her again!”
“Rayna was amazing! She took such good care of our dog! She provided photos and comments throughout the day which put my mind at ease. She even did a meet and greet with our dog before the booking. I will definitely be booking with her in the future!”
About: I've been responsible for taking care of pets ever since I can remember- cats and dogs of all ages and temperaments. However, for the past few years I've been traveling a lot and so do not have any pets currently. Throughout the years, I've been a Vet Tech and adopted and fostered puppies through hospice dogs and several cats, and have had extremely friendly and reactive dogs. I'm willing to meet your pet where they are. I work from home and really enjoy my area of the world, so I tend to be a homebody during the week. I go for daily beach walks and enjoy swimming when it's warm enough. My neighborhood is great for walking, too. I love to get out and hike or explore on the weekends, but am also happy with projects around the house. High energy pups and couch potatoes are both welcome. I have a 4 foot fenced in yard and plenty of couch space. It's important to do what I can to help your pet be comfortable in a new environment, so I try to keep to their schedule as much as possible. I do have a large crate and room for you to bring your own if that works better. The ticks are out in force so please make sure your dog is on preventive. I cannot accept dogs with bite history or food/toy aggression.
“Karla is super flexible with scheduling and always available when I need her. I couldn’t ask for a more trustworthy and available dog sitter for my boys ! Oh and my dogs absolutely love her !”
“Rachel is amazing! She was a great communicator. I was very nervous to leave my two dogs since we've been with them basically 24/7 for the last 9 months but Rachel put us at ease. She sent great updates, pictures and picked up on some of our doggo's personality traits quickly which was nice to see! We would definitely book her again. Thanks Rachel!!”
“nicole is the best pet photographer, the pictures she sends me of my cat during drop-ins are always so cute! my cat loves nicole and is always excited to see her! :)”
“Maryann is an excellent pet sitter! She leaves detailed notes about her visits and takes plenty of pictures during her visits which leave me reassured that my cats are in good hands when I’m out of town. She takes time to get to know your pets and works to build their trust in her. One of my cats is incredibly shy, but Maryann has established a trusting relationship with her and is able to pet her and give her scritches just like my other, more friendly, cat lets her. I highly recommend Maryann to anyone who needs a pet sitter for their cats!!”
About: I’ve been walking and pet sitting for about 3 years. I am in my zone when I am around pets. I’m very patient and pay attention to each pet’s personality, whether they’re energetic, shy, or need extra comfort. I make sure they stay on their routine with feeding, walks, and playtime, and I always keep their environment clean and safe. I treat every pet like my own and make sure they feel comfortable while you’re away. I currently offer dog walking and have a flexible schedule. I’m available on weekdays and weekends, and I can adjust to your pet’s routine for walks, exercise, and quick check-ins. I’m reliable and make sure your dog gets the time, attention, and movement they need. I always put your dog’s safety first during walks. I stay aware of our surroundings, keep a secure leash, and follow your instructions so your dog feels comfortable and safe the whole time.
“Veru was amazing! She accommodated a last-minute time change for us and made sure the girls got to enjoy the nice weather. We really appreciated the flexibility and care. We’ll definitely be booking with her again!”
“Eden sent pictures every day, and was very attentive! She noticed some lumps on our cat's side (which we knew about) right away and called to inform us. We would definitely use her again!”
“Heath was amazing! She was very punctual and kept me informed with pictures and text messages. I was able to have a relaxing vacation knowing my puppy was well cared for. I would recommend her with no hesitation.”
“Jonathan was a lifesaver when prior a pet sitter canceled last minute, and in a way I’m happy it turned out that way! You can tell from the minute you meet him he genuinely cares for your animals like they are his own and makes every effort to show it. He even crocheted a blanket for our kitty! My husband and I never had to worry a day while we were on our vacation because we knew our cats were in great hands. We cannot begin to thank you enough!”

Riverside cat parents share their Rover experiences
Though I’ve been a cat owner for over 13 years, with a new kitten in the house, I decided to look for a cat-sitter for the first time. I couldn’t have asked for a better one than Crystal. She is personable, communicative and clearly loves cats. Most importantly, she spent a lot of quality time with my cat, Winnie. I appreciated the thorough updates and pictures along the way. Would happily recommend Crystal to cat owners in the area.
Nicole took excellent care of our cat Moe while we were away. She clearly understands his personality and needs, and they picked right up where they left off from her previous caretaking visit. We received daily updates with photos, which gave us peace of mind. Most importantly, Moe was happy and completely himself when we returned. I highly recommend Nicole - she did a fantastic job!
Marie was great! She took such good care of our kitties, even took the time to play with them. She’s really responsive, and kept us updated every day with news and photos. We felt so comfortable knowing our 3 cats were in capable and caring hands. I would recommend Marie without hesitation!
