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.

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.
“Anders went above and beyond caring for Pippa during the power outage! I really appreciated the extra care for Pippa, going so far as to make an extra stop one day to see if the power had come back on, and hunting down my recycling bin which had blown into a neighbor's yard. I would definitely have Anders watch Pippa again!”

“Heath is the absolute best!!!!! Pickles & Peanut were never without love whilst we were gone! All the cute pictures of them everyday were heaven sent 😇 WE ADORE HEATH 😻😻”

“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!”

“Maryann is my most trusted sitter. I always know my furkids are in good hands with her. And she takes so many photos, which always puts me at ease when I'm away.”

“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.”

“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!”

“Nicole is an amazing cat sitter!! She took great care of my cat, was able to feed her medications everyday, and did a great job of keeping the litter box (and my apartment) super clean! It was so fun to see pictures of my cat everyday from Nicole. :) I would absolutely book through Nicole again!”

“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 !”

About: New to here, but a lifelong dog person! I had my family dog for 16.5 years starting at 12 years old. 10 years ago I got my first big pup who did agility classes in his prime so I have experience with large, high-energy dogs. My 3rd adoptee is one of the large lazy ones, needing motivation to get his steps in! Currently living with my 9 year old medium pup who absolutely has some sass. I’m used to handling strong pullers, playful chaos, and dogs that like to test boundaries. I have experience helping friends and family with a variety of pet needs over the years. I’ll match your dog’s energy while keeping things safe, structured, and fun! I work full time during the week and have a pup of my own I care for. I have availability on weekends! Happy to spend time during my weekend to make sure yours goes off without a hitch! I am excellent at caring for your pet exactly how you would! I thrive on detailed instructions if you're a helicopter pet parent (like me!) or I can go with the flow if you're chill and confident with your furry family. Leashes, closed doors and gates, and lots of love will be priorities.

“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!”

“I could not have asked for a better experience! Working with Kayla was such a dream. She was so responsive and reliable. My family and I were able to fully enjoy our vacation with our minds at ease knowing that our animals were in Kayla’s care. We will absolutely work with Kayla again!”

“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!!”

Riverside pet 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.

I really appreciate the care and attention you gave my dog. Thank you for taking the time to clean up his pee and poop it truly means a lot to me. Your kindness, responsibility, and professionalism made me feel comfortable and grateful. I highly appreciate your help and would definitely recommend you as a pet sitter.

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!

We have used Fiona & Hannah several times now, and every single experience has been outstanding. They take exceptional care of our dog and consistently go above and beyond to ensure our pup is happy, comfortable, and well loved. The updates, photos, and communication make you feel as though you’re spending each day right alongside your dog, even while you’re away. It brings so much peace of mind knowing your fur baby is in such caring and capable hands. We truly feel we’ve found our dog sitters for life and couldn’t recommend Fiona & Hannah more highly.

Haley was absolutely incredible. I’ve used Rover many times, and this was by far the best experience I’ve ever had. From the moment we connected, she was professional, kind, and attentive. She asked thoughtful questions about my dog’s routines and quirks, and it was clear she genuinely cared about getting everything right. Throughout the stay, she sent consistent updates with pictures and little notes that showed she was paying real attention. My dog looked happy, relaxed, and totally at ease with her, which says everything. When I got home, my place was spotless, my dog was calm and content, and it was like I’d never left. Haley went above and beyond in every way. she treated my dog like her own, kept everything perfectly organized, and made the whole process effortless. If you’re lucky enough to get her as your sitter, don’t think twice. She’s exceptional.

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!
