“Sarah was the perfect fit for our needs. She did drop-in visits for our cat while we were on vacation for a week. She sent daily updates with a lot of photos which was appreciated. We will definitely request her services again.”

“Andrea was absolutely wonderful with my cat Bella and my fish Bumble. Bella is usually pretty outgoing, and Andrea did an amazing job keeping her entertained and happy. I loved getting the updates and pictures—Bella looked so comfortable and content, and Bumble was well cared for too. Coming home to such happy pets and a tidy space was a great feeling. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and highly recommend Andrea to anyone looking for someone who truly cares!”

“Diana was an incredible Petsitter. I left my 3 kitties for the 1st time in the care of a someone. I was very nervous and Diana was kind enough to send me texts and photos of my kitties. Diana is very kind and sweet with my kitties who are skiddish with others. I will definitely use Diana for any future pet sitting needs and would highly recommend her. Highly recommend.”

“Carey was great! She was professional and communicated very well. She also sent lots of photo and video updates of our cats, which made me feel at ease as I traveled.”

About: I have several years of experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages and temperaments. I’m comfortable with walks, feeding, playtime, and basic medication needs. I focus on keeping pets safe, happy, and on their normal routine while you’re away. Because every pet is different, it is important to make sure each one gets the care they deserve! I currently work Monday-Friday on a full time schedule. I am free during the evenings and weekend for any pet care or home sitting needs. I provide a safe, clean and comfortable environment for pets. I live in a pet-friendly apartment complex, making it easy to either pet sit at my home or the owners. I also make sure to respect any specific instructions from pet parents, and I monitor pets closely for any signs of stress or health changes to keep them healthy.
About: What sets me apart is the level of personal attention I give every dog. I don’t just “watch” pets — I make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I pay close attention to routines, personalities, and little details so your dog feels at home, not stressed. I’m also the go-to person in my family and friend group for pet sitting, because they know their dogs are always in caring, reliable hands with me. From elderly dogs to young and active dogs, I adapt to each pet’s energy level and needs. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I work full-time from home, which allows me to give dogs consistent attention, supervision, and companionship throughout the day. I live in an apartment complex with great walking areas, and I know many owners can’t always get home during the day for walks — I’m happy to take that off your plate. I’m available for drop-ins and quick daytime walks, making sure your dog gets exercise, bathroom breaks, and some extra love when you can’t be there. I understand how busy life can get, and I’m here to help make things easier while keeping your pet happy and cared for. In my home, your pet will be in a calm, comfortable environment with lots of supervision since I work from home. I have a small, low-energy senior dog who mostly relaxes on the couch during the day. He can be kept separate in another room if needed, depending on your dog’s comfort level and personality. I also have a small patio space and take dogs on regular walks around the neighborhood or apartment complex for exercise, fresh air, and bathroom breaks. I always prioritize safety, gentle introductions, and making sure each dog feels secure and at ease.

“Jackie was very professional and communicated daily during check-ins along with a photo. Everything went perfect! It was so nice to not have to worry about my kitty while I was away. I will definitely be booking with her again in the future.”

“Jennifer showed me a new side to my cat while she was watching her—Pancake loves to be held! Jennifer knew exactly what to do and still went above and beyond to care for my kitty as if she was her own. I cannot express how amazing her services are!”


About: I’m attentive to body language and early signs of stress. My goal is not to watch your dog it’s to make sure they feel safe and well taken care of in your absence. I take communication seriously and always send regular photo and text updates. Safety is another thing that is important to me I always make sure leashes and gates are properly secured. I always double check feeding and medication instructions. Also I’m always willing to do whatever you think your babies need. I’m currently self employed and have plenty of free time to look after your pets. Day or night it does not matter I am available. In my clients home I currently don’t have to room at my home to look after your pets there. I have a bigger vehicle so I can take your pets to a dog park or even to vet appointments if needed. I have a dog of my own so if your pet is friendly they can have a play date. I’m a responsible detail oriented house and pet sitter who treats every home and animal as if they were my own.
About: I’ve cared for dogs of all ages, sizes, and temperaments—everything from playful puppies to mellow seniors. Whether it’s daily walks, feeding routines, medications, or just lots of love and attention, I make sure every dog feels safe and happy. I’ve also handled leash-reactive dogs and am comfortable with crate training and basic commands. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, I’m home most of the day and have a flexible schedule, which means I can give your dog plenty of attention, walks, and playtime throughout the day. I’m available for morning, afternoon, and evening visits, and I do my best to accommodate last-minute requests when possible. I take pet safety and comfort seriously. Whether I’m in my home or yours, I follow all care instructions carefully, including feeding times, medications, and daily routines. I keep a close watch during walks and play to make sure your pet stays safe and happy. If a dog is staying with me, they’ll have a calm and clean environment with plenty of attention, playtime, and rest. I also send regular updates and photos so you can feel confident and connected while you're away.
About: My skills are only taking the dogs a bath and taking them on walks, and I play with them as well I give all my attention to them. I start my morning early and that’s when I start my walking, then I come back and have my breakfast, so I will have plenty of time to care for a dog. The care I would give is just giving them attention and making sure their area is always cleaned. Taking them on walks and playing with them!
About: Welcome fur parents! I invite all new clients to use code VANESC07813 for $20 off your first service with me! A little about me: I love animals, bugs, and all things nature! I am a fur-mom to two indoor cats and an angel doggy. I have 20+ years of experience caring for dogs, cats, and small animals (like rats and hamsters)! I believe that pets are family, and as a fur momma myself, I understand how important it is to find someone that you can trust to provide care for your fur babies. Thank you for your consideration, and if l you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me. If you have any questions or need a special accommodation for your fur baby, please let me know and I will try my best to meet your needs! Planning a vacation? Need someone to walk your dog while you’re at work? I got you covered! I provide daily walks, drop in visits, and house sitting.
About: I grew up in a household housing pets all the time. I’ve had the opportunity to care for cats, dogs, guinea pigs, ducks, and a rabbit. I am familiar with animal’s nutrition and exercise needs. I’ve been able to carefully asses small injuries that can be treated at home and which ones require a visit to the vet. I’ve learned to pick up on the different personalities that each pet has and used it to ensure that each one is loved and in a happy environment. I’ve always been around pets, and I have a dog of my own named Khyzer (who is a very good boy!!). I also spend time researching how to properly feed and take care of different dogs based on their breed, size, age, and weight to gain more awareness. I am ready to care for your pet, have fun with them, and show them lots of love! I live in apartment, so no yard unfortunately. But I can take your fur baby on plenty of walks! All fur babies are treated with love and respect, while being supervised at ALL times. I love my own pets, and if I left them with someone I do not know, I would hope to have a sitter who truly loves and takes care of my pet properly. I am not available on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Friday because I attend school on these weekdays (Grad student). Use my code: SHANNM56904 (For 20% off your first booking, if you are new to Rover!) I am available only on Monday, Wednesday, and the weekend. I am a grad student nearby and I have plenty of flexibility on these days! The other days are dedicated for my classes and studying. I leave a clean area so that you fur baby can be in a peaceful environment. I live in a nice apartment where your bur baby can go on a stroll. I also live by a park that we could go for a walk at too! (: Nonetheless, I will be able to provide the attention your fur baby needs and deserves at ALL times <3 (p.s I have a dog but he lives back at home with my mom, so I only live with my cat Mochi who is around 1 year and 6 months old)
“Sarah checked in on our two cats twice a day for a week. They both loved her. She sent us pictures of the cats every time she visited and always let us know how they were doing. She followed all of our directions and made great friends with our cats. We will absolutely be booking with her again!”

About: I’ve always loved being around dogs and caring for them like they’re my own. I have experience walking, feeding, and watching dogs of different sizes and personalities. I’m patient, attentive, and make sure each pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while in my care. I’m currently working part-time, which gives me a lot of availability right now. This allows me to easily fit pet care into my daily and weekly routine and give each pet plenty of attention. I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special instructions. In a client’s home, I make sure pets feel comfortable in their familiar space, keep things clean, and give them plenty of attention and care.
Riverview West pet parents share their Rover experiences
Amelia was amazing with our kitten and very communicative. Loved that she actively played with our cat every visit, especially considering the little one is now a senior kitten. The pictures were adorable (greeting boop!) and provided fun updates on how active and/or sassy our cat was each visit. Very much appreciated her watching our small one. Would absolutely recommend her and book her again!

Julie is very reliable, friendly, and communicative. She treats your cats as her own and makes the effort to get to know them and give them lots of attention. She goes above expectations with her care. I tend to stress when I'm not taking care of my cats but I felt very much at ease knowing she was checking in on our babies. Thank you so much!

Bryce is amazing! I can’t say enough great things about him. He took exceptional care of my senior dogs, who require extra attention and special care, and he handled everything with patience, kindness, and professionalism. While I was away, he kept me consistently informed with updates, which gave me complete peace of mind. It was clear my dogs were well cared for and comfortable the entire time. I’m extremely happy with his service and will absolutely hire him again. Highly recommended!
Normally, when we don't have someone able to check in on Deejay when we're gone for longer periods of time, I notice he gets stressed and really lonely (crying and sometimes gets respiratory infections/sneezing). However, after Kristine spent extra time to keep him company while we were out of town, he was brighter and less sniffly when we came back! She was also extremely responsive with sending pictures and updates and extremely attentive with questions to go above and beyond our asks. I'll definitely need to book with Kristine every time now.

Maya was such an amazing sitter for our cat. She went above and beyond, not only taking care of his food, water, and litter, but also playing with him for extended periods of time. She provided frequent updates and took so many wonderful photos and videos that she shared with us so that we could feel totally at ease. We would highly recommend Maya and would book her again in a heartbeat!
Joy was the ultimate professional, and went above and beyond to make my cat feel seen, and loved while I was out of town. I could never compliment her enough for the high quality work she did. If I was given the chance to hire her 100 more times, I would do do it every time. Thank you, Joy!

Elizabeth was a tremendous help taking care of our dogs while we were away on holiday. She sent us daily pictures and updates. It gave us ease of mind that our doggies were well taken care of. She is super nice and very gentle with our dogs. We highly recommend her and she will be the first one to call if we need a dog sitter!
