“Carrie was so in tune with Simba’s needs the whole trip and so communicative. Easily one of the best sitters we’ve booked with. Simba needs an inhaler and has some unique quirks and Carrie handled it like a champ. She even left a welcome home card with a magnet of Simba’s face on it, which was so thoughtful!”
“My experience with Sarah was nothing short of fantastic! From the moment I met her, I could sense her genuine love and passion for dogs. She took excellent care of my babies while I was away, providing regular updates and ensuring all of my dog's needs were met. It was such a relief knowing that my pups were in such capable and caring hands. I highly recommend Sarah to anyone in need of reliable and compassionate pet care. She is also flexible.”
“Danei is very laid back and down to earth. My senior chihuahua loves her! She is very thorough and detailed in her visits and descriptions which I really appreciate. Thank you Danei!!”
“Emma was just a wonderful pet sitter. I received updates and photos on the cats twice a day, and I felt so totally comfortable with her taking care of our kitties and being in our home. She filled in at the last minute, and really saved our vacation. She went above and beyond several times and I can't thank her enough!”
“I couldn’t be happier with the care David provided for our sweet Dolly. From the start, he was professional, kind, followed directions, and clearly experienced with animals. He kept me updated with regular messages and the cutest photos, which really put my mind at ease while I was away. Dolly looked so happy and relaxed in every update—it was obvious she was in great hands. David went above and beyond, and I am so thankful for the love and attention he gave her. Highly recommend and will definitely book with him again!”
“Kayla went above and beyond to care for Gracie while I was gone. I am so thankful to have found her through this app, and I look forward to having her care for Gracie again.”
“Highly recommend Sydnee, who is a friendly and responsible cat sitter! She dropped in on our cat for four days for thirty minutes each day to feed and play with our cat and clear the litter box. She was very responsive in texts and provided photos of her visits. Looking forward to having Sydnee help us out again next time!”
“Paige is Excellent! Sasha is a difficult kitteh that needs to be pilled every other day. She is Houdini-like in her ability to contort and squeeze into ridiculous tiny hidey spots to try to avoid her med. While we were gone Paige managed to get her pilled along with doing all the rest of the regular stuff that goes along with cat sitting. Paige is great!”
About: I graduated high school and lived in Anchorage, Alaska all of my childhood, growing up with a dog. I enjoy spending time with dogs, and I trained mine when she was a puppy. I have volunteered for the Iditarod Dog Drop five times over the past years, taking care of the sick and injured sled dogs when they arrive back in Anchorage on their way home. I enjoy learning a new dog’s personality and do well with shy animals. Patience is a big part of how I become familiar with pets. Being outdoors is something that most of my hobbies and interests have in common and I am knowledgeable about places to walk your dog! I also have a dog myself, his name is Rocky, and he is a Miniature Australian Shepherd. He weighs about 35lbs and is very submissive and calm with other dogs. I completed my Associate degree in Business at Whatcom Community College in 2022 and am attending Eastern Washington University in pursuit of an Economics Bachelor's degree. Your pet will be my main focus during each stay! I do my best to ensure your pets experience the least amount of variance in their routine possible. I know your pet will have a routine that they are used to and sticking to that as much as possible can mitigate stress. I am currently working part-time, and two of my three classes are online this fall, so I will have plenty of time to give your pets the attention they need. I like to get a feel for each animal I care for individually. During our meet and greet, I will ask about trust off-leash and how they get along with other animals.

“Courtnie did an incredible job taking care of our cat. She was communicative, flexible, took lots of pictures,and gave detailed updates. We came home to a very happy and healthy kitty. I'd recommend her to anyone.”

Riverside pet parents share their Rover experiences
Sarah was a phenomenal pet sitter to my older chihuahua! Every pet sitter has different qualities that make them stand out. For Sarah, I think she excels in communication with pet owners and doing more than the bare minimum on her drop-ins. My dog is “precious” when it comes to going potty and she often won’t go right away, Sarah took her outside at least twice during each of her visits… to give my pup a couple chances to do her business. That’s so appreciated when my dog is at home all day with very limited out-of-crate time while I’m away. I will absolutely continue to seek out Sarah as a pet sitter in the future! Thank you for treating my Ginger so well!
So glad to have found Emma to care for our two cats. Her communication is impeccable! The photos during her visit also show a very comfortable and social side to our cats. She also helps keep their litter trails cleaned up which it is so nice to come home to clean floors after traveling! Highly recommend!
Joel did a great job taking care of my cat while I was away. They were reliable, attentive, and kept me updated with photos and messages, which I really appreciated. My cat seemed content and well-cared for when I got home, and it was clear they had been in good hands. I’d definitely recommend Joel to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter
Second time booking with Jaylah and she was great again! I really appreciate the work she puts in, and both times my cat (who has had anxiety problems with boarding in the past) has been perfectly calm and happy when I got back. One of my smoke detectors broke while I was away and she went above and beyond to take care of it.
