“Theresa took great care of my two kitties while I was out of town for two weeks! The girls warmed up to her immediately which is saying something as my youngest is usually very sketchy around people she does not know! I got daily pictures and can see them Playing with Theresa which was wonderful! Though I missed them terribly, I did not worry about them under Theresa’s great care! Very Happy !!!”


“Marie was such a pleasure to work with! She came over for a meet and greet and took detailed notes on our kitty’s routine. I felt comfortable right away based on the thoroughness of her questions. We received detailed reports after each drop-in and the sweetest photos. It looks like they had a great time together! Would highly recommend”

“Olivia did a great job pet sitting for us. She was reliable, attentive, and took excellent care of our pets. She also communicated very well throughout the entire time, keeping us updated and giving us peace of mind while we were away. We would definitely recommend her and would be happy to have her pet sit again.”


“Steph was a great caretaker of our fur children. I have a pretty rambunctious dog and she handled her no problem. I’d trust Steph to take care of the babies again any day of the week.”

About: I’ve had many pets growing up my entire life, however, I began being an animal caretaker since 2019. Originally I was a flying nanny so I was never home, but I was transporting dogs and cats all over the United States from state to state. I fell in love with my job until I could no longer travel anymore. Now that I work from home, I still want to be able to continue my journey with caring for animals. Many people do jobs because their parents did it or they do it for the money; but I genuinely do it because I love animals… you might be able to say more than humans. I currently work from home and work when I want in my daily life would really affect my availability to pet sit. I’m basically available every single day of the week unless I make plans. I live in an apartment that has a grass area for animals to handle their business and it is fenced all the way around the apartment. And I have a very sweet cat who was about three years old and she does very well with other animals if your baby needs company.
“Tabbitha took excellent care of my kitties and promptly sent me visit cards with photos each time, which I really appreciated. She is quick to respond to messages and I felt relieved to have someone so caring and conscientious looking after my kids while I was away.”

About: I LOVE animals, I have a dog and birds who I have been taking care of since I was a kid. I have experience pet sitting for family and friends, so I am very comfortable taking care of animals. I have always been the type of person who hangs out with the dog instead of people at parties, so spending time with animals makes me genuinely happy! I am looking for a way to make some extra money during the summer while I’m in nursing school, so I am available pretty much every day/ all day the next couple months :) When caring for pets in someone else’s home, I like to make sure they are comfortable, and that they are kept on a similar routine as they normally are. I’ll provide fresh food and water, let them outside, give them attention, and clean up as needed. I also pay attention to any extra instructions given by the owner.
About: I’ve taken care of cats and dogs my whole life. I have a husky of 6 years that is practically a cat in a dog’s body. I personally get very anxious when leaving my furry friends for trips, so I know how important it is to send pictures and updates of how your fur baby is doing. 9 times out of 10 I am the person in the corner playing with the dog at social events, so I will make sure your pets are well entertained and having a good time! I just graduated from Cosmetology school and got my license, and as of right now I have an open schedule. I look forward to meeting your fur babies! I have a husky that has severe separation anxiety, so I will make sure that your pets are calm, safe, & sound even if that means sitting on the floor with them for hours. When taking care of multiple pets at once, I am very aware of my surroundings and making sure that everyone is getting along and having fun.
“Savannah was wonderful, very responsive, timely, and attentive! She went above and beyond to make sure my cat was safe and happy, and I will definitely book her again. Would recommend for your cat sitting needs!!”

I don’t work so I have nothing but time and an open schedule for any one that needs it . Your word will actually be catered too I treat them just like they are my own pets with nothing but love cuddles and play time I am a true fur mom and take pride in so !
“I don’t know how I ever got so lucky to find Diana when I first used Rover years ago. Max absolutely loves her, and she always goes above and beyond, I truly cannot fully express how grateful I am for having her help.”

About: I grew up with two golden retrievers and have loved dogs ever since. I've had to say goodbye to my family dog to move out to Arizona but love to dog sit for friends in the area. I have cared for dogs my entire life, from my training my dogs as puppies, to caring for them as seniors. I am a recent graduate of ASU and am working a part time, flexible job so I will have plenty of time and flexibility to work with your schedule and play with your pups! I provide a safe, calm, and attentive environment for pets. I have experience with puppies, including potty training, as well as senior dogs that require extra patience and care. I am happy to follow each pet's personal routine to make sure they feel comfortable, secure, and of course, happy.
“Kyle & Danielle did an incredible job taking care of my 3 kitties. Great communication and every detail of instructions I gave was followed perfectly. Took the time to stop by and meet the kitties prior to my trip as I requested on short notice as well. Treated all kitties with care and respect, including my two senior Bengals. Definitely recommend them as pet sitters. Thank you Kyle and Danielle for taking care of my little ones!”

“Ashley was great! She was prompt, responsible, communicative, and detailed. I felt very comfortable on my recent trip knowing that she was stopping by and spending some time with my buddy Slick. I highly recommend Ashley for any of your pet sitting needs!”


“Matthea was so amazing, very professional and gave us an update every single day, and really went above and beyond spending time with our social kitty! We will definitely rebook her every time we need someone!”

“She did an excellent job with Maggie. I was nervous as I've never used a pet service before. Ana did a great job, kept me informed, sent me pictures, was prompt and communicating well. I would highly recommend her to watch your pet.”

About: I have three years of experience walking other dogs in my neighborhood back home. I have cared for dogs of different sizes and personalities. Additionally, I have spent my whole life caring for my own family’s dogs, including daily walks around the neighborhood and longer walks at the beach. I love dogs and love caring for them! I am in my senior year at ASU. As a student, I focus mainly on my studies, however I have a lot of time in between my classes and I am looking to fill this time with dog walking! My schedule is very flexible, just reach out! For dog walking, my priority is keeping pets safe and comfortable. I will make sure to follow the routine set by their owner and listen to the pets' needs. I will stay aware of surroundings at all times, adjusting each walk to match what your dog is comfortable with.
About: I am a responsible, animal-loving professional who has taken care of animals (primarily cats and dogs) since I was a young child!

I am available on weekends for drop in visits and walks (all animals). I am available for boarding (dogs) during my 2 week quarterly breaks from work.

About: Hey there! My name is Khayla. I’m a student at Arizona State University. I love dogs and have a little over 3 years of experience petsitting. I love having fun, getting active, and giving your pup some love. I am very flexible and available anytime. I promise to care for your canine pal as one of my own. It is important to me to create a trust-filled relationship and paw-sitive experience for each dog that I care for. I understand that pet owners have busy schedules too and would love to help make your daily life easier and give you peace of mind that your dog is in caring and responsible hands. I can’t wait to meet you and your dog! I'm currently working part-time in the mornings so I'll be able to give your pup plenty of love. I'm available for boarding weekends and weekdays after 2 pm. I live in a pet-friendly apartment building with a fenced dog park and even a dog wash! I also live right next to ASU and often take the dogs out to walk around the campus for some exercise, plenty of safe walkable spaces. My apartment is fairly large, smoke-free, and has no children or other pets living in it. I do my best to help dogs feel comfortable whether at my place or yours and give owners peace of mind that their pet is in good hands while their away.
Riverside pet parents share their Rover experiences
I came back home to a very happy kitty!! I was so nervous to leave Loki for the first time, but Bridget sent me a ton of photos and made me feel at ease throughout my trip. She spent a lot of time playing with him, brushing him, and chilling at his favorite spot on the balcony. I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!💗

Marie was such a pleasure to work with! She came over for a meet and greet and took detailed notes on our kitty’s routine. I felt comfortable right away based on the thoroughness of her questions. We received detailed reports after each drop-in and the sweetest photos. It looks like they had a great time together! Would highly recommend

June did absolutely amazing caring for my little one. Athena was super comfortable with her and was all over her. She consistently cleaned her litter box and also swept/vacuumed around. Athena enjoyed her company and I had a piece of mind as I was traveling!

Tori was amazing! She had great communication the entire time, was super easy to work with, and really made me feel comfortable leaving my pets in her care. She went above and beyond, and my pets seemed so happy and well cared for when we got home. I could tell she genuinely cared and I would absolutely book with her again!

Alma was ahmazing! Im soo glad we found her. My 18yr old furry gentleman has a bit of a routine these days with oral supplements, walks, etc and leaving him with a new sitter for a week made me nervous. She was great with him, sent thoughtful and detailed reports, asked questions to make sure things were done correctly and took some super cute photos too! The house was tidy when we came home and she even took out the trash for us. The day of the wedding I didn’t even get a chance to check the reports and I was totally confident that Guapo was in good hands! Thank you Alma, for allowing this mamabear to relax and actually enjoy my time away! :)
