Top rated Riverside house sitters

“Emily was amazing! She was so active and engaged with our dogs the entire time. You could tell she genuinely cared and made sure they were not only safe but also happy and comfortable while we were away. It’s such a relief to find someone who makes us feel at ease about leaving and makes our dogs feel right at home. We’ll absolutely be using her again in the future and would recommend her to anyone needing help with dog sitting or even fostering support. She’s a gem”


“Holly was fantastic with our animals (2 cats, a dog, and a pond)! While we were away on our 8 day trip she sent us some photos, which helped us know they were in good hands. And when we came back, they were only slightly perturbed at our absence, which is to be expected. Would totally have her watch our animals and house again!”


“Tonya, did a great job! Toby waa happy and healthy and always walked in the morning. Our house was very clean when we returned. It was a long trip and having our senior dog be able to stay in his own home was a big deal. She gave us text and picture updates nearly everyday! Thanks Tonya!”


“Deanna was very responsive and easy to book with. She took great care of my dogs and my home. It was nice receiving updates and photos during our trip of our pets. I would definitely book with Deanna again and would recommend her for home and pet sitting.”


“Arielle is exceptional and will take care of your home and furbabies with care and compassion. She was exceptional at commotion and sending photos of our babies! She handled 3 dogs during a 2week trip with various needs and behaviors. Our whole family is grateful for her!”


“Toni swooped in at the last minute when another Sitter backed out on me! During the meet and greet, she got right down on the floor with Pucca to meet her and play with her. Pucca absolutely loves her! I could tell by the way Pucca got majorly excited and happy when Toni came back for a visit today to pick up a couple of things that were accidentally left behind. Pucca was so happy to see her that I'm convinced she was treated well and with love and affection. I was away for 8 days. Toni arrived on time and I was able to get an early visit start so that I could make it to the airport on time. When my friend's truck broke down and I thought I may be later than expected arriving home, she had no problem with it. (I was on time though). She even said she didn't mind taking Pucca to my Vet to get her Citopoint shot and glands done. (I was going to get an appointment when I got home, now I don't have to). With my permission, she took Pucca along with her to her place when she went home to do laundry. When I asked for a Video Chat here and there, I was accommodated. It is my opinion that Pucca was well loved, cared for and looked after while I was away. ***NOTE*** Upon my return, I found a typwritten "Toni's Care Notes for Pucca" stating her eating habits, walk schedule & health. Nice touch.”


“I appreciate Kim's dedication to spending time with our two older quirky cattle dogs. I felt confident that she wanted to know what was best for them -- and was committed to spending her whole visit making sure they had supervision and minimal separation issues. It worked. Her values in animal care and comfort are high. She truly loves the furry ones! I would recommend her for stay overs of any length.”


“Camille was great for Archer and Athena. We appreciated the consistency of photos and videos and her good communication. Our pets were in good hands and it gave us peace of mind knowing they were being taken care of well.”


“Amanda was great! She stayed at our house and watched our two dogs. One requires medication 3 times a day. She was communicative and sent photos. She was very kind with my daughter who was nervous about leaving her puppy. The house was clean when we got home and the dogs were happy. Highly recommend!”


“Patricia was absolutely wonderful and I hope we can work with her again in the future! We had a bad past experience with a sitter and Patricia made my wife and I gain faith in this service again! Do not hesitate to book her, pretty sure some of our pets really missed her after just 1 week! She even left us flowers when she left!”


“We were so grateful that Ayah and her husband were able to care for our dog and house during Thanksgiving break so that we visit with our extended family. This was our first time with a house/dog sitter, so we were a little nervous. They met us and our pup a couple of weeks prior to us leaving, which boosted our confidence. They were very respectful of our house and left it in great condition. (They even asked for permission in advance to invite a family member over for a few hours for Thanksgiving Day.) Ayah was responsive to our communication throughout the trip, and we were so glad to see our happy pup upon our return. We were appreciative that he could stay on his own couch all week and have a stress-free week with new friends. :)”


“Alexis and Dakota we’re both so amenable to my very specific asks for Gus. Alexis updated me several times a day while checking in on him and toon him on several longer walks that I wish I personally would make more time for! Despite his stress and lack of eating, they both attempted to care for and feed him (even hand feeding) when they could. I appreciate all their help and dedication to Gus’ well-being.”


“Lindsay was amazing with the dogs! She sent tons of photos and was very communicative. She went way out of her way and even washed the dogs blankets when the puppy had an accident on them. I will definitely be rebooking! Thank you for watching the kids while I was gone!”


“Deana did a great job! We recently moved to Seattle and had only been here for about two weeks and realized we booked a vacation to FL a year ago. BAD TIMIMG! We were in a new city not knowing anyone and needed some one to stay at our home with our 5 yr old Bluetick hound Lucy. We were gone for close to a week and we booked Deana last minute. Lucy is a kinda high maintenance and was a bit uneasy from all the recent moves we have made. Deana was wonderful, she made us feel so comfortable. Lucy was relaxed and happy as ever when we got home. Booking Deana for our next vaca! Thanks!!”



“Nicole is such a caring and kind person. I requested her to come over and play with my puppy and take him for walks and I don’t think I could have picked a better person. She is very attentive towards my dogs needs and truly does treat him like he is her own. Being that I have a puppy, she was working with him to continue his training as well while I was away. I would definitely have her watch my puppy again!”


About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 15. Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to walk, feed, and bathe their pets. I have an English Mastiff, so I’m confident handling large breeds, but I also love working with tiny pups and seniors. I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and treat every dog like my own. I am currently not working a job so I am available full-time to care for your furry friends! I would more than happy to take your puppy on a stroll around the neighborhood or stay with them overnight if needed! In clients’ homes, I follow all instructions closely to keep your pet safe and comfortable. I maintain their routine, keep their space clean, and make sure they get plenty of love, play, and attention. I’m respectful of your home and always leave things as I found them. Whether it’s sticking to feeding schedules, going on long walks or staying overnight, I’ve got it covered.

“Steven did a great jod taking care of the pets. They all seemed very happy and I appreciated the daily check ins with pictures. Would definitely use him again.”


“Dash loved Pamela! He was definitely well cared for and we received the cutest videos and photos! We had no concerns or worries while we were away. Communication was top notch!”


“Jaelin was conscientious about providing updates on Putter and responsibly took care of our home for 3 days.”


About: I have cared for dogs of all sizes. I have also cared for cats. I have experience with aggressive breeds as well as training puppies. I have been relied on for feeding, bathing, walking, and the overall care of people’s pets. I have been a stay at home mom and caregiver for over 20-years to 4 beautiful kids and many fur-babies. Now that my kids are fully grown I have more time to focus on my passion for animals. I believe that all pets should receive the same love and care they give to their "humans". I also firmly believe that there are NO bad pets and that with the proper care, love and training ALL pets can be good pets. I will treat your pet with the same love and care I give to my own. I will reinforce the training commands and prompts your pet has been taught to ensure their behavior is consistent whether you are home or away. I am available during the week for walking, home sitting, or drop-in visits. I currently do not offer weekend pet services due to family commitments. I offer care to pets in your own home and will keep them on the schedule and training that is consistent with what is desired by their owners.

Riverside pet parents share their Rover experiences
Cady rose to the challenge again! Last time it was “bomb cyclones”, power outages and no WiFi. This time…snow! We came home to happy, healthy pets! Cady even sent us a picture of the dogs playing in the snow.

Cady is shy but reliable which is more than valuable when letting someone into your home to watch your furbaby. I hope to work with her in the future.
