About: I am a human mom, dog mom, and teacher looking to make some extra income throughout the summer. In this family, we’re always around animals. For questions or wanting to schedule care, please reach out! As a teacher, I have the majority of summers off. I’ll be home each day looking for something to keep busy outside of caring for my kids. In previous jobs my responsibilities included taking care of 1-4 pets at a time (cats and dogs). I was asked to feed them and let them outside. On top of this I played with them, took them on walks, gave them treats and attention, and brushed them. I can take on any pet responsibilities you may need when out of the home.
About: Have had pets since my youth. Currently have 3 adopted playful dogs, 14yo terrier female mix, 6yo mix and a 6yo male staffie-mix. Aso have a 6yo feline (he acts like a dog). Will come to your pal's home for drop-in visit to feed and for playtime. If desired, I'll even take your pal out for a ride, walk and even hiking and exploring venture If you are a trucker and need someone to take care of your Roaddog while at a shipper or receiver let me know. If your pal has any special medical needs, let me know. My 15yo girl is going blind and requires special attention. The only medical thing I can not provide is shots, but able to provide medications and other special medical support during visit as necessary. My schedule is pretty much open, will keep my calendar updated to help ensure there is no conflict. Will accommodate those whom work night-shift also. The safety and comfort of your pal comes first. Let know of any "no-go zones", such as areas around your residence or neighborhood where he/she is not allowed.
About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life! Growing up around a variety of animals, including dogs, cats, and farm animals, has given me a genuine love and appreciation for their unique personalities and needs. As a pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to know your animals are safe, comfortable, and loved. I treat every pet like they’re my own, making sure they receive plenty of attention, affection, exercise, and individualized care. I’m an active, outdoorsy person who loves walks, adventures, and spending time with animals. Whether your pet is full of energy and ready to explore or prefers a slower pace and extra cuddles, I’m happy to adapt to their personality and routine. My goal is simple: to give your pets a positive, stress-free experience while giving you peace of mind knowing they’re in caring hands! I work remotely, which gives me the flexibility to be home throughout much of the day and provide plenty of attention, companionship, and care. As a pet owner myself, my days already revolve around feeding, exercise, playtime, and making sure my animals are happy and comfortable. Adding a few more furry friends to the mix is something I genuinely enjoy! My flexible schedule allows me to accommodate walks, drop-in visits, boarding, and other pet care needs throughout the week and on weekends. Whether your pet needs a little extra attention during the day or a comfortable place to stay while you’re away, I’m happy to work with their routine to make their experience as enjoyable and stress-free as possible! Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities! As a pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your furry family members, and I take that responsibility seriously. Whether I’m welcoming your pet into my home or caring for them in yours, I strive to create a safe, loving, and stress-free environment where they feel comfortable and secure. I understand that every animal has their own personality, boundaries, and routine, so I take the time to get to know their individual needs and preferences. In my home, I provide a comfortable, welcoming space with plenty of attention, supervision, and have a fenced yard for opportunities for play, exercise, and relaxation. I prioritize safe introductions with my own dog and make sure everyone has the space they need to feel at ease. When caring for pets in their own home, I respect both your space and your pet’s established routine. I carefully follow feeding schedules, exercise needs, medications or special instructions, and any household rules you provide. I also believe communication is key! I’m happy to provide regular updates and photos so you can enjoy peace of mind knowing your pets are safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away.

About: I have been taking care of animals since I was younger, I have experience with dogs, cats, fish, horses, and even livestock! I have experience feeding, giving water, brushing horses, and more! I have a cat and a parrot of my own, so taking care of animals is in my daily routine. Making sure they are fed, have water, and are cleaned up after and most importantly happy!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 264 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Riverside. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page.
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee, which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 93% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
