House Sitting in Riverwood

“Highly recommend Lauren! It was clear from the meet-and-greet that she has a lot of experience. She handled our two dogs with ease and sent lots of updates and photos. A truly stress-free experience for us.”

About: Dogs have always been a huge part of my life. As a mom to three of my own, I know doggos are a part of the family. I specialize with large dogs and bully breeds, but I've never met a dog I didn't instantly love! I can do walks, playtime, drop ins, house sitting, cuddles, feeding routines, administering basic medications, or simply keeping your dog company while you're away. I would make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I'll care for your dog(s) as if they were my own and keep you updated with plenty of photos and messages for peace of mind. Caring for my dogs isn't something I squeeze into my schedule, it's already a part of my everyday life. With full availability and my house already centered around my own dogs, I have the time and flexibility to provide attentive care, regular exercise, playtime, and lots of cuddles. I have a full open flexible schedule. As a dog mom myself, I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone else. They'll get plenty of attention, belly rubs, playtime, and love. My goal is for both you and your pet to feel comfortable, relaxed, and cared for every step of the way.

“Susan and Holli were very communicative during their house/dog sitting stay. The house is cleaner than when we left, they washed everything they used, and the dog is happy! Will definitely book them again.”

“Kelly is Amazing!! She has such compassion and love for your fur babies in all the extras that she does to make you feel at ease when you are away. We will definitely be using Kelly again in the near future!”

About: Hello! I’ve been dog sitting for 6 years now. I also trained my dog and assisted with others for 9 years through Tipton Co 4-h. I love to watch dogs play and take them to the park if they’re allowed. They bring joy to my heart. I’m currently unemployed due to a temporary disability. I need at least 4 hours a day to leave the home for appointments and ensuring my grandmother is getting along alright each day. We have no animals so I look forward to each pet that I sit. I do pet care in the clients home. I’m willing to walk your pets each day, and I love to play with all animals. I am able to brush pets if needed as well as brush teeth and syringe feed.

About: I truly love dogs and have been around them my whole life. From training my dog when she was a puppy, to caring for her as she got older. I truly am familiar with all sides of dogs! Right now, I am living away from home, so I am not caring for pets currently. However, at home I would regularly feed our dog, take her for walks, and do whatever other tasks were needed. I always put the dog first. I will never put them in an environment that is dangerous or will induce any stress for them. Additionally, I want them to be as happy as possible and will do whatever is needed for that as well.

“Kristan did great watching our dog at our house for the weekend! Our dog is a little particular and requires lots of walks for her energy and Kristan was great meeting her needs. She gave her all the attention she needs and gave us updates. She also left our house all neat and clean! Definitely recommend her!”

“Evelyn was great with my pets and they enjoyed her. I got lots of cute pictures and updates. She worked great with my schedule that was based on how quickly I was driving through not good weather and we got back almost 12hrs later than intended. I came home to my house cleaner than I left it too which was a great surprise after driving 1800 miles in under 48 hours. She even watched a couple of my clients pets that had last minute bookings!”

About: I’ve taken care of pets since I was 10. I love dogs and cats both and have 2 Australian Shepards of my own. Would love to help care for your furry family members. I am open Fridays and most weekend days. I am able to stop in to let out or walk your pet after 5:30 during the week as well. I personally have a fenced backyard and have two crate trained dogs so I am familiar with the process and always strive to keep pets safe.

“Alexis was amazing! She stayed at our house with our dogs while we were away. She was great about sending pictures and updates. The dogs were well taken care of and walked a ton with her. We came home to a clean house and she even took out our trash for us!”

“I was extremely worried about leaving my dog and my house with someone I did not know. Mary did a meet and greet with my dog and I before I booked her. She immediately impressed me. My dog is a very anxious dog. My friends and neighbors have all decided not to do drop ins because she was hard to handle and even got a little aggressive with a couple of them. I had Jasmine booked for a kennel stay to try that option, but I really felt like she was going to be distressed about that. I found Mary through Rover and it was only a little more per night. (Actually not really because I was going to get optional services like walking the dog or cuddling the dog which would have brought it up to what Mary was charging. I decided to try her because I felt that it would be far less stressful for my dog. Mary sent me many photos of my dog showing me that she was doing fine. I was right my dog was less stressful and so was I. I hope that Mary will be available if I go away again. Thanks Mary.”

Olivia R.

“Sierra was very helpful and mindful of my pup's special needs! He seemed to enjoy his time with her!”

Jessie R.

“Nicole did an excellent job taking care of our dogs. She kept us updated with message, picture's and videos, which gave us great peace of mind. The best feedback we can give is that our dogs absolutely loved her and felt very comfortable with her. We would definitely trust her again!”

About: I've been watching pets for a very long time around my neighborhood and i've been wanting to expand my clientele for a while! I have two dogs at home so I know a lot about dogs and about what they need from a caregiver. I have a lot of experience from helping out neighbors with cats and dogs but also even with hamsters, turtles, and even fish. I love animals and I would love to help out!

I love keeping my clients updated, especially for a long stay so pictures and videos can be provided too!

“Abigail helped me on short notice in an emergency situation and was able to take over care when another sitter didn’t show. She did an incredible job giving updates, following care instructions, and loving on the cats. She left the home better than she found it and her deep care for animals is evident in both her words and her actions!”

Ariacella D.

“Todd was amazing! He updated us with pictures and took great care of them and our home. We would recommend him to anyone and just hope he is available the next time we need a sitter for Pork Chop and Bailey!!!”

About: As a lifelong pet owner who has successfully guided my own dogs through formal obedience training, I bring a deep understanding of dog behavior, leash safety, and feline care to every pet I sit. I have owned and loved both large and small breeds, and have a place in my heart for all four-legged friends. I love cats and dogs alike, and will give your furry family members the very best care possible when you can't be there.In addition to dog walking, I offer dedicated drop-in visits specifically tailored for cats. I understand that cats thrive on routine and comfort, so my drop-in services go far beyond just checking food and litter boxes. I make sure to provide quality companionship, interactive playtime, and gentle attention according to your cat's unique personality and comfort level. When you book a drop-in visit or house sitting with me, you can expect a reliable, structured routine tailored to your cat's comfort and safety. Because I work part-time, I am able to offer dedicated, high-attention blocks of time throughout the day to keep your pets happy and stress-free. Daily Routine & Scheduling Here is a general breakdown of when I am available to care for your pets: 🌅 Morning Window (7:30 AM – 9:30 AM): Perfect for breakfast, fresh water, litter scoop, morning medications if needed, and early daytime cuddles. ☀️ Mid-Day Availability: Depending on my flexible part-time schedule, I am frequently available for midday check-ins to provide an extra round of love or a quick playtime session. 🌆 Evening Window (After 5:00 PM): Dinner time!

Your cat’s safety and the security of your home are my top priorities. As a dedicated cat parent myself, I know how much trust it takes to let someone into your personal space, and I treat your home and your pets with the utmost respect.Door Safety & Escape Prevention Cats can be master escape artists! I am hyper-vigilant about doorways. I always check my surroundings before opening external doors, ensure all windows and screens are securely locked, and verify that your cat is safely accounted for inside before I step out. Home Care & Security 🔒 Securing the Premises: I double-check that all doors are locked, alarms are set, and keys are safely stored exactly where you request them. 🧼 Cleanliness: I maintain a clean environment. If food spills or litter gets tracked outside the box, I sweep and clean it up immediately so you return to a tidy home.

If anything ever seems unusual with your cat’s behavior, appetite, or litter box habits, I will communicate with you instantly. You can travel with total peace of mind knowing I am attentive, cautious, and always reachable.
