“Devynn was wonderful. I was on a cruise and didn’t have service so she made sure to keep in contact with my mom until I could check in. Mumfy seemed so happy. She sent pictures every day. I will definitely use her again.”
“Outstanding. It is hard to find a person to trust with your home, but I give this individual five stars without reservation. Highly recommend.”
“Christian was great! My dog gets separation anxiety when I leave and anytime I asked for an update, he was quick to respond. He was very accommodating to any requests I had. Looking forward to using him again in the future!”
“Parker was INCREDIBLE! My sitter backed out last minute and Parker stepped in on short notice. So easy to communicate with and truly cared for my dogs as if they were his own. I 100% recommend and plan to ask Parker to watch my dogs in the future.”
“Sara took great care of our dogs and our house. She was great at communicating, following their schedules, and ensuring they felt loved. She also ensured our house was just as we left it, which is appreciated. Thank you Sara! 🐾”
“Kailee was great with our dogs. She followed instructions and took care of our house while we were away. Our dogs loved her. I recommend her for both dog care and house sitting.”
“Beth was fantastic. As a mom who hates to leave her pup, I was very nervous leaving our dog for 10 days. Beth gave us several updates to ease our minds and was super responsive to our questions. She walked him often and gave an update after each time. She is professional and responsible and followed our normal routine. She even helped us put medication on a cut our boy had on his belly and he healed right up with her care. When we returned home, the house was left as if she wasn’t even there-clean, sheets washed and all picked up. I would highly recommend Beth to watch your pet! There are few I trust…Beth is one I absolutely do! She takes pride in doing the job RIGHT and well. Thanks Beth!”
“Avery was absolutely amazing! Our dogs loved her and she left our house incredibly neat and clean. I would absolutely suggest her to everyone and I plan to use her again!!”
“Rhoda was wonderful with my boy Benny! He clearly was content and happy, she communicated with texts & photos regularly & took great care of all while house sitting. Will definitely request her again!”

About: I grew up with dogs and love pet sitting for neighbors and friends. My family has a frenchie and golden doodle who I watch occasionally, and I’m looking to help more people out. I’m currently finishing up grad school with a flexible schedule. I’m able to take care of animals in the morning, lunch, afternoon, or overnight if needed. I make sure pets are safe in their homes, with access to food and water and away from human food or things that might make them sick.
Riverside Heights pet parents share their Rover experiences
We had such a great experience with Andrea! She was communicative and clearly cared about our pets like they were her own. We got regular updates with photos, and she asked questions when needed that gave us total peace of mind while we were away for the night. She went above and beyond to make sure they were happy and well taken care of. Highly recommend to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and genuinely great with animals!
Alina was absolutely fantastic overnight with my Sadie!!! Sadie has some GI and joint issues and Alina was wonderful about accommodating everything and sending me tons of photos!!! She even sent me a photo of Sadie’s food so I could verify she had all her supplements!! As an anxious dog mom she made me feel very at ease and I will 100% be using her again!!
Christian is fantastic. He stayed with our two dogs for the first time and right away, made me feel at ease. He is quick to respond, very cooperative, polite and it’s evident he really loves animals. I would recommend Christian to anyone in need and will definitely ask him to return!
Leah was absolutely fantastic! She took wonderful care of our animals while we were in Costa Rica and kept us updated so we knew the dogs were doing great in her care. She was also very respectful of our home and left it spotless. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and would absolutely book her again.
We are truly grateful to Peyton for the excellent care he provided to our two dogs. Both my husband and I felt very calm and secure during our trip, knowing they were in such good hands. Peyton was always attentive, loving, and responsible. He kept us updated regularly on how they were doing, which gave us great peace of mind. It’s clear that he is a kind, respectful person with a genuine love for animals. When we returned, our dogs were calm, not anxious or distressed, which showed us they had been well cared for. We will definitely use Peyton’s services again and highly recommend him with complete confidence.
Julia and Eric stayed at my home with my three dogs while I was on vacation with my family. They were my ideal type of sitters! Sent lots of videos and photos, great communicators, and left our house in perfect shape. I never worried about my pups once while I was gone! Will definitely be booking with them again!
Brooke really came through for us in a pinch! After our original sitter cancelled last minute, Brooke was quick to respond and coordinate the booking. She has been very flexible, responsive and professional the whole way through. We have two high energy dogs and she knew exactly how to handle them. Our pups had such a great time with her!
Benny loves April—nuff said! We are so grateful to April for taking care of our dog during Christmas week. She was incredibly detail-oriented and attentive to the specific needs of our senior dog Benny, which gave us great peace of mind. We definitely plan on using her services again in the future!
Our family is so grateful for Landis and the care and commitment he showed while staying with our Luthor. Having someone competent and focused to housesit gave us peace of mind and enabled us to enjoy our trip to be with family for Christmas. Landis sent great updates with cute pictures throughout! Landis truly cares for animals and has a special ability to understand and connect with them. He is able to adapt to changing needs and environments while providing outstanding care and attention. So thankful for Landis and thrilled to have someone we can count on and trust!
This was our first time having a Rover sitter stay in our home and we had a great experience with Jaden! Both of our pets were immediately very comfortable around her, including our normally shy cat. She sent us plenty of pictures and updates and I could tell my pets were well cared for. Jaden was also very respectful of our home, leaving it neat and tidy. We will definitely book with her again in the future!
Emrick is an awesome dog sitter. She is a great communicator and went above and beyond to care for our dog. Receiving updates gave me piece of mind that our dog was doing well while we were out of town. Our original return flight was cancelled and she ensured that our dog was taken care of until we came back. I wholeheartedly recommend her and would love to have her watch our dog again.
