“Audrey did a wonderful job watching our giant Alaskan malamute and cat. She walked him everyday, and kept us updated daily with photos. I didn’t have to worry about a thing and we would book her again.”
“Great experience! Jennifer took such good care of my dogs and sent daily updates. She even did a couple of favors for me while I was away. The dogs clearly enjoyed their time with Jennifer. We will book with her again for sure!”
“Honestly Nick and Nazzy the best sitters we have had on Rover—would recommend super highly to anyone who wants to leave their pet pals in good hands! We have an anxious dog and an asthmatic cat, so not the easiest pets, but Nick and Nazzy always take such good care of them. They send tons of pics and videos and kept us up to date on all the happenings! Super kind and considerate folks who go above and beyond in their care of the pets and the home!!”
“Our dogs loved Bethany! They had a wonderful day with her, and they were both moping when she left. We had absolutely no worries on our day trip about our dogs because she took excellent care of them.”
“Carla was quick to respond and took great care of my dog when my other sitter backed out at the last minute. She sent pictures and updates and I could not have been happier with the service she provided.”
“Rachel is great! We were so relaxed on our vacation knowing that our dog was getting good care and lots of affection! Our house was so clean when we returned too! We will definitely book here again!!”
“I really appreciate all the effort and care put into my animals! Like most pet owners, I fret when I'm away. Monique was communicative and friendly, always responding quickly and happy to send a pic.”
“Suzy stayed at our house while we were gone and took care of my 2 dogs and 2 cats. She was extremely professional.. Everyone seemed so happy and taken care of when we got back. Highly suggest booking with her! I will be booking with her again in August.”
“Amanda has house sat for us twice now. She is wonderful with our dogs and she follows all instructions left on how to take care of our fur babies. I would absolutely recommend Amanda. Thanks again for all your help!!”
“Jocelyn was amazing! She took such great care of my 2 kitties and my house for the 10 days I was away and sent plenty of pictures. The house was in pristine condition when I returned and my cats were happy and healthy. Would definitely recommend!!”
About: I was born and raised on a farm so I have raised many different kinds of livestock and house pets. Animal care is one of my favorite things about living on the farm and I will treat your furry family members as one of my own. I am currently working a 4 days a week, 10 hours a day. I am able to get away during the work day for about an hour, so in that time I can come and let your pet out to potty or give them more food. On the days I am not working, I am completely free to be with your pet for as long as you need me. I will vary my care based on the situation you have at your home and on your pets temperment (ex. going to the park, walking on the sidewalk, or sticking to the yard).
About: We have experience with all types of animals! Right now we currently own 2 rabbits, a cat, and 2 dogs, one of the dogs is a senior, and requires daily medication. We also have experience with large animals, Shelby (my partner) owns horses. Overall we have cared for various types of pets throughout the years, and love all types of animals! I am working part time, and she goes to Washington State University all in Spokane, so we will have plenty of time to cater to all of your pet needs! We can walk your pets in low traffic areas, or are more than happy to walk them on trails away from any potential hazards if you would prefer that! We carefully monitor interactions between our own different types of animals to avoid any altercations, which we will also do with your pets! Safety is our #1 priority with ALL pets!
About: I've owned cats most of my life and taken care of family members’, friends’, and neighbors’ dogs and cats for years. My first kitty living on my own had severe health issues and anxiety, requiring extensive treatment and TLC. I know how difficult it can be being away from our furry family members knowing they need us and want to help ease some of that worry. I have experience administering medications, caring for anxious animals, and feeding special diets. I'm also happy to send plenty of pictures and updates. :) Currently on leave from school and working from home, so I am available all day and evening to check in on pets/spend the night at clients’ homes! Every pet has their own personality and unique needs, and I think owners know their pets best. I am happy to follow whatever instructions you may have.
About: I love animals! I'm comfortable with dogs and cats, birds, and creepy crawlies. I like to run and would love to make a running buddy! I'm available before and after work for check ins and one day a week for regular walks or runs on a long term basis. I can also do house sitting. I'm a dad so I have plenty of patience and energy for your pets. I work in healthcare so I'm comfortable with stressful situations when the need arises.
“Megan did a fantastic job of caring for our two Chihuahua mix dogs and our cat. Our house was in order and our pets happy when we returned home. . We will not hesitate to use Megan’s services again when we go out of town.”
“It can be hard to find a sitter that enjoys big dogs. Our big, goofy dogs love Clara! We appreciate that she let us know how they were doing and help them stay happy and on their routine (as it helps the smaller of our two dogs keep her anxiety down while we’re away). We will definitely call on her again.”
“My dog was very well cared for and loved on for 10 days I was gone. The house looked great as well. She kept me informed and provided videos throughout her stay. Would highly recommend for overnight stays if needed and care for your pets.”
“Alex was so good with our two goldens and kitty while we were out of town! She even got up every day to walk them in the early morning since it was a 100 degree weekend. Very good communication and kept us updated throughout the weekend. Above & beyond!”
“Ryan was absolutely amazing! We left our dog for 10 days for the first time and I think our dog had a better vacation than we did. He took him to the park and on walks all the time. My dog is also only 8 month and has a lot of energy and Ryan was great at keeping him happy and healthy. 10/10 would hire him everytime.”
About: There has never not been a dog in my house. I've grown up around them and feel very comfortable with them! Within the last few years I have logged 70+ volunteer hours at SCRAPS training and exercising dogs. I achieved the highest level of training and thoroughly enjoy my time working with them. I have handled dogs with all kinds of behavioral issues from having a high prey drive to disliking people. Additionally I've worked with my own dog and she earned her CGC, participated in numerous rally classes, and began agility. When she became a senior dog I gave her a comfortable life until the end. I am passionate about making their lives better for as long as we have them. I also have experience taking care of rabbits, goats, and horses. I'm a full-time student on summer break so I have full availability currently. Evenings will have less availability as I will be doing some summer conditioning for my sport but can be flexible with the client's needs. In my own home we keep our dogs separate with baby gates and the use of leashes. Keeping them safe is a priority for us so we do all we can to help make them comfortable while maintaining safety. Depending on what the client is comfortable with I will use whatever measures they want to keep their family safe.
Riverside pet parents share their Rover experiences
Nazzy has been a blessing for my kitty family. She always sends pictures and information about how my kitties are doing while I'm gone. She asks appropriate questions about their care and is kind and loving. I have always felt my kitties to be safe in her care. She helped me out with a last minute booking this Spring. I will continue to ask her to stay with my kitties. Thank you Nazzy.
Molly was prompt in responding to our last minute need, easy to work with, and communicated well w/each visit to check on our critters while we were away. She was open to checking in on our conventional pet (a cat) but also our non-conventional pets (baby chicks). Grateful for her services.
Audrey is a fantastic dog sitter! Communication was excellent throughout, with regular updates and quick responses. She was incredibly friendly, caring, and clearly great with Penny. I also really appreciated coming home to a tidy, well-kept house. Highly recommend and would happily book again!
This was the first time we used Rover for housesitting and Tessa was so wonderful with our two pups while we were away for the week. Our puppy can be a bit of a handful and Tessa was proactive, communicative and went the extra mile to try different things to help deter his bad behaviors while we were gone. She left our house clean and even refilled our stash of frozen Toppls so that we were good to go with puppy enrichment treats when we got home. Leaving our fur babies is always stressful but Tessa definitely made it a lot easier!
I was impressed with Lisa's maturity and intelligence. I felt very good leaving my precious dog in her care. I believe she could handle any situation that might have arrived. Daisy was a happy and well cared for dog. I would use her service again. It is so nice to not worry about your dogs when you are gone. She was willing to be on a fairly remote property which has intimidated some people. The communication was excellent. My thanks to her for making my vacation worry free.
You can’t do any better. End statement, she’s the best. I had an emergency trip I could cancel or reschedule. Lauren stepped in super last minute, sent tons of pictures of super happy puppies/kitties. She even saved my kitties that I spaced and I accidentally shut the door to the bedroom locking them inside 🙄. Hero, right here, hire her!
Jordyn is hands-down the best sitter. We've been able to have her watch our dogs and home on a couple of occasions now, and we wouldn't hesitate to rebook with her again and again. She communicates regularly and adds peace of mind when we're away. I can't say enough good things about Jordyn! We're so thankful for her.
Talyn is amazing! My puppy Ru absolutely loves her, and she is both comforting and communicative! Ru has a lot of energy (she’s just a baby), and Talyn takes her on really nice long walks, does enrichments and gives her love. She also is a great communicator and leaves my house looking better than I left it - which is not expected, but such a nice surprise to come home to. She always does the dishes, washes the sheets, etc. I’ve used Talyn 3x now, and this last time my puppy was having some breathing concerns while I was gone. Talyn calmly kept me in the loop on what was going on, but also made me feel confident that she had it handled. She provided updates, great communication and reassurance. Talyn is absolutely my go-to Rover and I’m (and you will be) lucky to have found her!
