“Adeline was amazing with our 7 month old Havanese! We can’t wait to use her services again. She has such a calm demeanor and is so kind. You can tell that she really loves caring for your fur babies. Do not pass up the services that Adeline provides, we are thrilled that we found her!”

“Consistent communication, mishap on my part and she worked around it to make sure my boy was taken care of. Always cheerful and happy to come out check up on chief. 10/10 will request again.”

About: I’ve had my own dogs over the last 10 years. I am a mom to two human kiddos and one golden retriever, Suzi. I’m happy to walk, check in and play, and care for your pets! I take care of my own pets every day. They are my family and spoiled! I’m able to have a flexible schedule as I stay home to take care of my family. I care for all animals and with love and appreciation. If there are specific instructions to follow I’m happy to do that. Safety is of the utmost importance to me.
“J Does a great job with my pup and yesterday was super helpful because she drilled him on his commands and helped get some kongs prepped. J is reliable and communicates well.”


“Karly was absolutely wonderful!! My love and I were a bit nervous leaving our cat with someone new for the first time but Karly made sure that our girl was loved and cared for during our long week trip. We highly recommended Karly for all pet care needs. We are so relieved to have found a great neighbor that will help take care of our girl while we are away. Plus, she has a new best friend! Thank you for being the best, Karly!!”

“We were so nervous about leaving our brand new puppy home for the first time while we went back to work. Megan came twice to feed and play with our two pups and was amazing and very communicative. Definitely recommend!”

“Just starting using Rover and Colby, my first time. Impressed by the prompt communication, updates, pictures if my dogs. Also, punctual. Thank you!”


About: I've been surrounded by animals my entire life and currently share my home with five cats and three dogs, including a senior dachshund and a four month old puppy we’re training ourselves. Caring for animals comes naturally to me, and it's something I truly love. Friends and family often trust me to look after their pets, from cats and dogs to bunnies and even bearded dragons. I'm kind, attentive, reliable, and always on time, I treat every animal with the same care and affection I give my own. I'm a recent high school graduate, and I'll be heading off to college in a few months. Right now, I'm enjoying my summer break and have a very flexible schedule—giving me plenty of time and energy to care for your furry friend. Whether it's daily walks, playtime, or just keeping them company while you're away, I’m committed to making sure your pet feels safe, happy, and loved. With no other major commitments this summer, your pet will have my full attention and care. I approach every home I care in with a strong sense of safety, consistency, and respect for privacy. While I may be pet sitting in your home, I understand that your space is personal, and I treat it with the utmost care and discretion. When caring for a pet in a client’s home, I make sure to keep the environment clean, organized, and calm. I provide attentive, personalized care and always follow any special instructions whether that involves administering medication, sticking to a specific diet, or following a preferred exercise routine. My ultimate goal is to create a stress-free, positive experience for both you and your pet.
“Veronica was so kind. She went above and beyond and loved on our pups. It relived any Anxiety I had for being away from them all day. They are usually home during the day with my husband but we both had very busy schedules and we knew it would be hard to give them the attention they needed. Veronica took them on walks and played with them. I was thrilled. I will definitely be calling her again.”

“Kathy went above and beyond to care for Saydee. We’re so grateful and 100% would recommend Kathy to anyone looking for attentive care for their pet. Saydee enjoyed a very comfortable stay at her house and we were worry-free knowing that she was really well looked after.”

“Allison was absolutely FANTASTIC with Ollie. I love the communication and actually working with Ollie on his walks and manners. Would 10/10 recommend and will be booking with her again!”

“This is the second time I've asked Lucinda to watch my three fur babies. I'm impressed with the quality of care and Lucinda's commitment and communication style. I would highly recommend her. I look forward to working with her again.”


About: Loved and cared for my dog for 15 years but she has sadly passed; I also regularly dog-sit for friends. I genuinely love spending time with dogs and enjoy taking them for walks, on hikes, or playing at the park. I work well with any type of dog personality, high energy or shy. Whether your dog just needs a stop in visit or a walk, I will spend my time bonding with your pet and making sure that he/she is comfortable around me. My goal is to make a new furry friend and give it the attention and love it is missing while you are away from home! I will provide endless amounts of belly rubs and attention; it probably brings me just as much happiness as it does your pet! I can guarantee at least one really cute photo of your pet (most likely more) :)
“Susan was great! She was very communicative and kept us informed with how our cats were doing, sending pictures, videos, and text updates. She was even nice enough to clean up when one of our cats made a mess. We are 100% planning to ask her to pet sit next time too.”

“My greyhound, Wilson, is a fairly shy boy when meeting new people but he went right up to Victoria during our meet and greet and was totally comfortable with her. She is very calm and has a gentle disposition. I have no doubt that he will look forward to more walks from Victoria. I totally recommend her❤️?.”

About: I grew up with dogs, cats and rabbits I’ve always truly loved animals and spending time with them, taking care of them, giving them all the love and attention they need/deserve. Mainly throughout the years I’ve taken care of cats more and sometimes a few dogs. I’m more fond of cats and know how to give them what they need and when they need space or food I can understand quickly. I’m always happy to care for dogs though especially since it’s fun to go on walks, have playtime with them. I will try my best to make sure every pet feels safe, content and happy with me I currently work part time at the Moda Center and it’s but only twice or once a week so I have most days off and so much free time so I really want to keep busy as much as possible and help people out in the process! I’d like to say I’m an observant person and very caring aswell, I tend to check in a lot even if it’s not needed and keeping track of when pets need to be let out, feed, given medication, any of the sorts im right on time. I also give pets time to adjust to me before jumping into touching them, I like to let them come to me first to make them feel comfortable if they are shy. If they are messy i don’t mind cleaning up a mess/cleaning up poop/pee

About: I have several years of valuable experience with dogs and cats of all kinds! I grew up with a house full of pets, and currently have two pit-mix babies of my own. I also served as a pet resort manager for 5 years and am very knowledgeable on animal behavior, safety, exercise and nutritional needs, etc. I am comfy caring for a wide range of size and temperament, from the yappy yorkie to the boisterous Belgian Malinois! I have a patient and warm personality, and will make your pet feel comfortable and loved as if they were my own family! I am a graduate student who works part-time. I'm looking for opportunities to connect with sweet pups and kitties during my free time! I am a busy-bee and always looking for entertaining activities and hobbies. I can't wait to make owners' lives easier by providing quality attention and care to their babies! Whether it's tiring out your dog with play-time fun, or giving your cat their meals, I genuinely look forward to working with you and your pets! I am familiar with local parks and good nature spots from taking my own pups out for fun times! I have years of experience walking dogs of all sizes, and am comfortable in my capability to walk large dogs, heavy pullers, etc. I enjoy the gym and love being active, so I'm a perfect fit for high-energy babies who need a little extra exercise! I am also good with anxious or dog-aggressive pups, and can adapt to whatever activity they will enjoy to fit their needs. Whether it's long walks or cuddling with a couch-potato, I'm ready to make your pet's day better!
Riverwood pet parents share their Rover experiences
Tanja was so professional, flexible and most importantly caring! My cats were not only fed and watered, but given love, scritches, brushies and play time. My shy cat even finally came out to say hi! She went above and beyond in helping out and cleaning up messes. Tanja took diligent notes, followed my instructions carefully, and communicated with us the entire time we were gone! Highly recommend!

Sarah was friendly, accommodating, and our cat, Lil Bit, instantly came out to meet her. She must have a good cat vibe because our little lady usually hides for a few visits with new people. We could tell she spent extra time to make sure our furry friend felt loved. In general, Sarah went above and beyond and we highly recommend! Thank you, Sarah!
Jessica is amazing! She's been so patient with my 1yo stranger danger issues and so kind to my old boy who needs a little extra help here and there. She's also been very communicative on any questions or concerns, and has not once come across as annoyed at my near daily texts while I'm adjusting to have someone care for my pets. I hope to keep her around for a while.

Viviana is amazing. I’m so glad I was able to book this second time with her. Both experiences have been nothing but great. She is very dependable, even when I had issues with booking (I’m not very tech savvy). She was able to come watch after my Nico on such short notices on two occasions, and I am grateful for her. You can tell she cares a great deal about animals, and spends time playing with my Nico Pico who loves all the attention. I appreciate the photos she sends while I’m out of town as well- makes me happy to see he is happy. I will definitely be booking with Viviana again in the future.
