Dog Sitting Riverview

About: I’ve been passionate about caring for dogs my entire life. Growing up with a dog at home since birth taught me the importance of patience, empathy, and consistency in pet care. Beyond that, I had the incredible experience of assisting in raising a guide dog, which deepened my understanding of training, responsibility, and the unique bond between humans and dogs. These experiences have given me both the skills and the heart to provide exceptional care and create a safe, loving environment for any dog. I am currently a graduate school student with an extremely flexible schedule. I have large gaps in the afternoons with many days with no class. I would be able to accommodate lunch walk/bathroom breaks as well as morning and evening check ins if needed. I prioritize caring for pets exactly how their owners prefer. I follow all instructions regarding feeding schedules, exercise routines, medication, and any special needs to ensure pets feel comfortable and secure. In my home, I provide a safe and loving environment, and I’m happy to accommodate their usual routines as much as possible. My apartment also features designated dog play areas that are available for use, giving dogs plenty of space to exercise and socialize. Whether in your home or mine, my goal is to keep pets happy, healthy, and stress-free while you’re away.

About: My approach to pet sitting is centered around patience, safety, affection, and making each pet feel comfortable and cared for. I treat every animal in my care like family and do my best to maintain the routines, boundaries, and care instructions that their pet parents have established. Your pet will be treated like part of the family and have their individual routine and needs respected. Depending on their personality and care instructions, they’ll enjoy plenty of playtime, walks, exercise, affection, and opportunities to relax and feel comfortable. Safety & Environment Your pet’s safety and comfort are always a top priority in my home. I provide a safe, welcoming environment with two spacious patios and plenty of grass for supervised outdoor time, play, and exercise. Pets are never left without someone available to care for them—we work as a team, and either my husband or I will be present and attentive to their needs throughout their stay. With your permission and depending on your pet’s comfort level and routine, I can also take them to a local dog park for additional exercise and socialization. I follow each pet parent’s instructions carefully and make sure every pet receives the supervision, attention, and care they need to feel secure and at home.

About: I've been a dog owner for 15 years. After losing my Jackie to hemangiosarcoma, my home was not the same. I started pet sitting to warm up to the idea, until I was ready to open my home and heart again to another dog. I did short term fosters ad well, which is how I ended up with PJ, my new best friend. I have experience with senior dogs and those that require special care, as Jackie had Cushing's disease, inflammatory bowel disease, and hemangiosarcoma that required special diet, oral medications, vet and specialist visits, and oral chemotherapy. I have a small SUV for car rides if needed/requested, a fenced yard for play, and doggy friendly home with crates, gates, etc. I do allow for extended boarding on special cases. Rest assured, your fur babies will be well taken care of and well loved.

“I had the absolute best experience with Haley. She was so caring and patient with my senior chihuahua. She kept me updated throughout my trip, and I never had to worry. I’ve already booked her again!”

About: I am new to Rover, but not new to pet sitting. I know that pets are more like family than pets and I treat them that way! I love to be trusted to care for your beloved pet! If you want your pet to have a loving and fun experience, I am your gal! I am very flexible and my schedule is open. I am a stay at home mom and property manager. I do have errands and school pick up but mostly work from home. I am off on most weekends and holidays. I walk pets twice a day, feed twice a day, and have them go out to potty 2-3 times, unless told otherwise! We are a very easy going, pet loving family! I have a large fenced in yard and a small dog that would love to have some fur friends to play with. I also have older children that will be helping with giving walks and love.

“Victoria took amazing care of Luna while we were gone! We got detailed updates and so many photos. We could tell Luna was thriving. We definitely will be using her again!”

“Nicholas is the perfect sitter for my dog. He treats my big pup like an old friend, and my doggie loves to see him. It’s so great to have a trusted person as our dog sitter! Highly recommended !”

About: I have had dogs in my life since I was a baby, and caring for animals has always been a natural part of who I am. Over the past 15 years, I have cared for dogs and cats of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. Family, friends, and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and care for their beloved pets. I understand that every pet has unique needs and deserves patience, attention, and affection. Whether your pet is playful and energetic, shy and reserved, a young puppy or kitten, or a senior requiring extra care, I will treat them with the same love and dedication that I give my own pets. I currently have availability on Mondays, Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays for dog walking, drop-in visits, and overnight care. During my time with your pets, I make sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and affection while keeping their daily routine as consistent and comfortable as possible. My goal is to help your pets feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you are away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I carefully follow all feeding schedules, medication instructions, and special care requests. I take the time to build trust with each pet and create a calm, loving environment where they feel secure and happy. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident that your furry family member is in caring and dependable hands.

About: I grew up around dogs (English Setters) and have lived with cats for the last 4 years. I have experience raising both types of pets from 8 weeks or younger through old age. I am happy to help taking care of younger pets as well as older pets both of which may need a lil extra TLC at times. Pets of all types and temperaments are deserving of the best care possible. I’m currently enrolled in a masters program at USF. I am usually some type of pharmaceutical scientist but was let go because of a company rework. I’m taking this time to enjoy life’s small things and get my puppy/cat fix! I have taken care of pets in different environments, from those with a fenced in yard, to apartment pets. I know consistency and communication are key for pet sitting and am happy to keep as close as possible to a pets expected routine and send as many photos and updates as makes you comfortable!

About: I have had pets for as long as I can remember. Primarily we had dogs growing up but we also had cats, lizards, rabbits etc. currently I have 2 pups, 3 cats, a snake and 2 emu’s! Now I am no expert but I am quite experienced in handling animals and fortunately for me, my girlfriend is a former veterinary technician and currently teaches vet med at the southern Brandon technical college, so I’ll always have an expert on standby if anything were to ever occur. I also have several contacts at livewell animal hospital as well as beacon emergency pet hospital. As a veteran and former law enforcement officer I can also assure you I am great at handling tense or stressful situations and even better at handling unexpected emergencies I work full time as an overnight field supervisor for allied universal security services. At the moment I work Sunday through Thursday from 8PM to 4AM. I am available on these days between 1PM and 6PM. On Friday and Saturday I am available all day I pride myself on following client instructions to the letter. Everyone has their habits and routines that they’re comfortable with and I think it’s important for pets to be able to maintain that comfortable routine when their owner is away

“Second time Rashel took care of our family pets while we were on vacation. She is great with pets and instills trust because she takes great care of our pets so we can enjoy our vacation without having to worry. Excellent service. Highly recommend Rashel if you need pet sitting, or check-ins.”

About: I have been pet sitting on-and-off since I was 11 years old and have experience volunteering for veterinary offices and exotic animal rescues. I have a regular schedule with set hours and work not far from my home. I would be able to perform these services before work, mid-day (lunch breaks), and after work I am wide-open to help your pets feel comfortable and loved. We are a home to a loveable Cockapoo who enjoys the safety of our fenced-in yard and has access to all but one room.

About: Over 25 years experience raising my own personal dogs and caring for my families dogs along the way. I enjoy giving dogs love and care, exercise & indoor/outdoor enrichment. Currently accepting small dogs excluding aggressive breeds unless they are puppies, for sitting, drop-ins & walking, weather permitting. I am CPR & First Aid certified. I am retired and available Mon. - Fri. excluding major holidays for sitting, walking & drop- ins. after a meet & greet. I love spending time with animals.

About: I've loved and cared for dogs my whole life, and pet sitting lets me combine that with something else I enjoy: helping people. My own Jack Russell, Marley, keeps me on my toes, so I'm very comfortable with high-energy pups who need plenty of exercise and stimulation. I've also cared for senior dogs over 12 and understand that older pets often need a gentler pace, extra patience, and close attention to their comfort. I've walked and dog-sat for friends and neighbors many times, and I treat every pet like my own. If your pup struggles with separation anxiety, I'm happy to spend time with them during the day so they get company, attention, and exercise while you're away. My professional background is in fast-paced, detail-oriented work, so you can count on me to be punctual, organized, and communicative. I live in town year-round, have a flexible schedule (including weekends), and have reliable transportation. Short walk or long adventure, I'll tailor each visit to what your pet needs. Animals have always been part of my life. I grew up with dogs, have one of my own, and have cared for friends' and family's pets for years, so walks, feeding schedules, and noticing changes in a pet's mood or health are second nature to me. I'm available Monday through Friday from 8am to 7pm, which means I can offer consistent, dependable care whether you need a midday walk or a quick drop-in. I'm happy to follow your routine exactly, from feeding amounts to favorite walking routes, and I'll send photo updates so you always know how your pet is doing. I treat your home and pet like my own. Before we start, I'll learn your pet's routine, feeding instructions, and emergency contacts. Dogs stay securely leashed on every walk, and drop-ins include fresh food and water, cleanup, and plenty of attention. I always lock up behind me and send photo updates after each visit

“★★★★★ I had such a wonderful experience with her caring for my cat through drop-in visits! She did an amazing job, followed all of my instructions perfectly, and was incredibly attentive and reliable. She went above and beyond to make sure my cat was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. I really appreciated the updates and the peace of mind knowing everything was taken care of. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring to look after their pets. I will definitely book with her again! ❤️🐾”

About: I have owned two dogs for the past 9 years. I have previous experience working at a boarding facility as well. Your dogs will be safe, happy and loved while you’re away! I’m a current stay at home mom so I have time to help take dogs on walks and ensure they are getting the best care. I have two dogs and two cats, and I've been surrounded by animals my entire life. Caring for pets is something I truly enjoy, and I treat every animal as if they were part of my own family. My pets are happy, well-loved, and receive plenty of attention, and I provide the same level of care, patience, and affection to every pet I look after.

“Kendal was very accommodating and even came the day before to meet my dogs and get a run of things. Will definitely use Kendal again in the future when we need another drop in!”
