About: Hi! While I absolutely adore all small and medium-sized dogs, I am a certified dachshund enthusiast! I specialize in doxies and understand their unique personality quirks and back-safety needs. I am equally experienced and comfortable with all medium breeds.I can’t wait to meet your pup and provide a fun, safe summer vacation for them! As a school teacher on summer break, pet care is my primary focus every single day. My completely open schedule allows me to stay at your home for house sitting or provide midday walks without the constraint of a 9-to-5 job. I use my natural knack for teaching structure to seamlessly maintain your dog's normal eating, sleeping, and potty routines. I focus entirely on keeping your small or medium-sized dog safe, active, and comfortable using your own preferred supplies. During house sittings, I provide full-time companionship, protect breed-specific needs like dachshund back safety, and respect your property. You will also receive regular photo and text updates every morning and night so you can relax knowing your pup is happy.

About: Hello! I’m an experienced veterinary technician with 5+ years in the field. My purpose in life is to care for our furry besties and provide endless care and attention to mine and yours! I love what I do and do what I love! I work 3 days a week at a pet hospital so with 4 day weekends allows me time to come provide your furry bestie with extra love, attention and playtime!

About: I grew up with dogs since I was in kindergarten, and have dog-sat many times as an adult. I've cared for dogs as small as Pomeranians and Poodles, and as large as a Great Pyrenees. We even had up to seven dogs in the family at once! Being surrounded by dogs and the happiness they bring has been one of the most important highlights of my life. I've also had and cared for cats, rodents, reptiles, and birds, so no matter the pet, their paws, wings, or scales are in good hands! I am available from 11 am to 10 pm including weekends, aside from the occasional exception. As long as your home is smoke free, you can count on me! As "The Pet Whisperer" (an honorific from my wife and family), I will care for your pet in your home paying specific attention to any care instructions provided, as well as any requested pet walks or play time they may sant or need. If your pet likes to lounge around, I can also be their couch buddy!
About: Ever since I was very young, I have taken care of a multitude of different pets and animals! I have taken good care of very small and very large dogs, cats of different personalities, young puppies and kittens (some requiring more care than others), and even different types of animals such as turtles and guinea pigs. I am very educated on what it takes to care for an animal and the different needs they may have from pet to pet. I have always treated the animals in my care with very much love and respect and will always take the time to teach and correct behaviors properly and know the correct animal body language to tell when an animal is uncomfortable with a situation or is in need of care. I currently have open availability throughout the week, including weekdays, evenings, weekends, and holidays. This flexibility allows me to accommodate a variety of care needs, whether it's drop-in visits, extended stays, or last-minute bookings. I am committed to providing dependable, consistent care and ensuring pets receive the attention, companionship, and routine they need. For in-home care, I will provide exclusively in my clients' homes, where pets can remain comfortable in their familiar environment and maintain their normal routines. I will take the time to learn each pet's schedule, preferences, and any special care they need to ensure consistency while their owners are away. I prioritize safety by following all care instructions carefully, securing doors and gates, monitoring pets during play and walks, and keeping a clean, stress-free environment. My goal is to build trust with both pets and their owners by providing reliable, attentive care and regular updates throughout each visit.
“Emily was amazing with our cat, Clipper, when we left him at home alone for a week during our recent vacation. She was patient with him as he's scared of people aside from me and my husband. She sent us daily pictures and videos, putting our minds at ease, and promptly responded to my messages when I had questions and concerns. I would definitely ask her to care for him again.”
About: I've been surrounded by pets my whole life. I grew up with many cats (currently have 5) and a super loving golden retriever. Ever since I was 12, my neighbors and family friends have trusted me to watch their pets. Now that I'm away from home, I love any opportunity to spend time with animals. I can assure you your pets will be well taken care of and in loving hands with me!! I'm currently self-employed, so I'll have plenty of time to play with your pets! I can house-sit or stop in for as long as you need any days/times of the week! I have watched many pets over the years. If you have a specific routine with your pet, I will easily be able to adapt to it so that your pet can stay in routine!
About: I have taken care of dogs, cats, horses, birds, turtles, guinea pigs, lizards, fish, and more. I have cared for animals during pregnancy, to newborn, to their last days. I can train, care for, and shelter a wide range of animals at any stage. I am a single mom, working from home. I can care for animals 24 hours a day. I give plenty of notice to when I will not be available due to travel. I have a fenced in back yard. I have a 3 year old animal loving daughter and 2 year old nephew excited to care for and play with any pets. I have had animals my entire life, and your baby will be cared for like my own.
About: Being around animals is nothing new to me, they tend to love my radiant energy. I like to take the dogs to the park to let them get the zoomies out, and watching cats make biscuits !😂 I work from home so animals keep me company. My home is extremely welcoming, clean and easygoing for the nervous ones. We love all pets Preferably the ones that Do Not Bite!! Please and Thank you ! Park down the street just to make our day more active. I’m easy to communicate with and give updates and send pictures throughout the duration of the stay. Feel free to ask any questions or give advice about your pets. If any changes come up please let me know as soon as possible. I’m very accommodating and understanding. I do house visits if needed!
“Air was available at the last minute; I booked her less than 48 hours before the first visit and she happily took the job. She showed up on time each day and provided pics as requested. Very happy with her.”

About: Hi! I’ve been caring for dogs for over 3 years and treat every pup like family. I’m experienced with females in heat, regular potty routines, and providing a balance of indoor comfort and outdoor playtime. I’m home full-time Monday–Friday and provide constant supervision. I only step out briefly (about 15 minutes) for school drop-offs and pick-ups, and I monitor pets during that time with a Furbo camera. Weekend boarding is available with advance notice! My home is cage-free with supervised free roam, but I’m happy to accommodate crates or specific care needs if that’s what your dog is used to. I also offer baths during their stay if needed. I have two friendly female Frenchies who love making new playmates, and I can also keep dogs separated if preferred. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my priority!
“Sarah was great with our 2 kitties and was wonderful at helping to problem solve when one of them was struggling to adjust to us being gone. I would highly recommend her and definitely book again!”
“Alyssa’s communication & care is top notch. She let me know her ETA before arriving and did a drop in on my babies while I was at work. She gave me peace of mind as this was my first time using Rover or any type of care for my fur babies. I highly recommend Alyssa to care for your pups!”
“Cambria was great with our bulldog, Stella. Stella has some behavioral issues and Cambria had no problems. We loved all the photos and updates she sent as well. We hope to have her care for Stella again :)”
“Caitlyn did did a great job caring for my cat RC (and my plants). Each day I received a Rover card and a photo, and I really appreciated that. Upon returning, RC was in the house (he's an indoor/outdoor cat), and not at all stressed. He just sauntered out as usual. Thanks very much Caitlyn!”
Riverview pet parents share their Rover experiences
This was our first time using a pet sitter who wasn’t family or a friend, and Emily immediately helped put us at ease. She was very kind, explained how everything worked, and made the whole process feel comfortable and stress-free. We were so happy knowing she was checking in on our boys twice a day. She followed all feeding instructions carefully, kept us updated, and even notified us when one of our cats wouldn’t come out. When we asked her to adjust the feeding routine, she was very accommodating and made the change right away. Emily is an excellent communicator and always responded quickly to our messages. She even suggested installing pet cameras for extra peace of mind, which we appreciated. Our two cats are very shy, but our oldest warmed up to her surprisingly quickly. We would absolutely recommend Emily and plan to use her services again in the future!
Andy is a natural with dogs. Gunner is a service dog that is generally unimpressed by humans. Not Andy, Gunner loves hanging with Andy. Andy asked a lot of questions about Gunner in an effort to get to know him. Which is great. Andy shows genuine love animals def including Gunner! Will def use again
We needed a last-minute, local sitter to watch our dog for the day, and Khushi was the first to respond to my request. Our dog does not like strangers and takes a bit to warm up to you. But when Khushi arrived to our home for a brief overview of care, our dog did not bark and quickly felt comfortable with her. She’s very knowledgeable with different breeds and their needs, attentive to detail and thorough with communication. We were at peace having her drop by our home to take of our pup and will be using her again for when we need a dog sitter.
