My husband and I are new to River, so naturally we were nervous about this experience. However, after our first meet and greet, we immediately felt comfortable leaving our fur babies with Angela! She is very warm, kind, and reassuring. She communicates promptly. She took our pet routines and requests seriously. She also left detailed notes and 10+ photos after every visit. We’ll definitely be booking Angela for future visits!

Deena was very patient with Maggie. I didn’t expect Maggie to be so timid, but Deena knew exactly what to do and Maggie responded positively.

As always, Cheryl did an amazing job on visits with our kitties. She always goes the extra mile and when our girl could not be seen for 24 hours (but she was eating her treats and food) Cheryl asked for permission to go through our house to locate her, which she did! We trust Cheryll 100% with our kitties and our home. Will continue to rebook with Cheryl when assistance is needed. We love her!!

About: I am a 28 year old woman who loves creatures big and small. I have had my dog for 16 years and love her to pieces. I will treat your pet as if they are my own. I currently have open availability to watch pets, whether stopping in during the day or spending a week with them. I understand pets like to be in their own environment and I can help them continue their routine, while you are away. I can adjust to your dogs routine. If they need feeding at certain times or take medication, it's all about them. I can provide cuddles and treats or let them lounge around, whatever they're feeling.

About: I have been a pet lover, my whole life. Animals are drawn to me and I feel like I am able to understand what they need! I work from home so I am able to give lots of outside potty and exercise breaks. I am home most and I don’t go far from home for long on the weekends Hi! I’m a dedicated animal lover with years of hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages. I currently have two well-loved dogs of my own and actively foster puppies and kittens for a local pet rescue, so caring for animals isn’t just something I do — it’s part of my everyday life. Because I work from home, I have a flexible schedule and can provide reliable drop-in visits, walks, feeding, medication administration, potty breaks, and lots of love and attention. Whether your pup needs a midday walk while you’re at work or your cat needs consistent care while you’re away, I’m happy to help. I also have a dependable 15-year-old daughter who has grown up around animals and assists when appropriate — giving your pets even more attention and affection. What you can expect: • Reliable, on-time visits • Detailed updates and photos • Experience with puppies, kittens, and rescue animals • Comfortable administering basic medications • Calm, patient care for shy or senior pets Your pets will be treated like family — because that’s how I care for my own. I’d love to meet you and your furry family members! 🐶🐱

About: I’ve grown up with and spent many years living with pets of all kinds! I love animals and have done many overnight sits, walks and feedings for the pets of friends and family. I work part time and have an extremely flexible schedule. I do not have any children and I do have my own vehicle so it’s easy for me to schedule pet care on almost any day. I can feed, water, walk, crate and care for your animals based around whatever your normal day-to-day care system would be. I’m very adaptable and believe in keeping your pet’s normal schedule as much as possible.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for years, from energetic puppies to senior dogs with special needs. I previously volunteered at iHeart Dogs, where I worked with rescue dogs of all breeds, temperaments, and backgrounds. I also have personal experience training my own dogs, including a high-energy pup and a senior dog with epilepsy who requires daily medication. What sets me apart is my understanding of both behavioral training and specialized care. I’ve worked with dogs on basic obedience, leash training, and socialization, and I’m comfortable administering medications, including oral and injectable prescriptions. Whether your pet needs structured training reinforcement, extra patience, or just lots of love, I’m here to provide safe, attentive, and reliable care. Dogs make my world go around. I’m lucky enough to be able to provide care for those who can’t always be there for their babies, and nothing makes me happier than helping families ensure their pups are loved, appreciated, and well cared for! I am currently working part time at a gym weekday evenings and weekend mornings. I am available for walks or play dates weekday mornings and early afternoons or weekend afternoons/evenings! Sundays I am free any time! :) For in-home care, I maintain a clean, pet-friendly space where dogs have room to play, rest, and feel at ease. I follow each pet parent’s instructions closely, including feeding schedules, exercise routines, and any special care needs. If a dog is boarding with me, I introduce them to my own dogs slowly and safely to ensure a smooth transition. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat their space with the same respect and care as I do their pets. I provide regular updates, including photos and messages, so pet parents feel at ease knowing their furry friend is happy and safe. I’m also experienced in handling dogs with special needs and can administer medication as needed. No matter the service, I take every precaution to ensure a safe, fun, and loving experience for every pup in my care! Also love taking photos and videos of dogs- happy to send you everything of your dog I have or if you prefer privacy I am happy to respect your wishes and not take any photos or videos if that is what is requested! (No judgement here!!) I am not offering overnight stays at this time but might open up to this opportunity if I become close with a family/dog and I feel there would be a good fit! :)

Jeff did such a great job! He communicated very well and my dogs did great with him. He was extremely patient and gentle as my dogs are a bit high strung. My craziest dog was the first to warm up to him! I would definitely recommend him!

Sarah is new to our dog, Bailey, today. Having only first met Sarah, we are impressed. She asked questions demonstrating experience with caring for animals and particularly job. We are comfortable after meeting with a Drop-In visit, that we can rely on Sarah for her soon visit for the next appointment.
