About: Hi there! I’m a certified veterinary assistant and veterinary technician with over 4 years of experience in veterinary medicine and approximately 7 years of hands on experience working with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. As both a veterinary professional and a dog owner myself, I understand that every dog has unique needs, and I strive to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m experienced in administering oral, topical, and injectable medications, recognizing early signs of illness or discomfort, and caring for senior pets and dogs with medical needs. Whether your pup is energetic, shy, or needs a little extra patience, I provide calm, attentive care tailored to them. My goal is to treat every dog like family and give you complete peace of mind knowing they’re in experienced, compassionate hands. I work full time at an all feline hospital and also work at a veterinary emergency hospital. I’ve been working full time since I was 18. If you want me to be more specific, I even had my own business in dog training and grooming when I was 16! I care for every pet as if they were my own. I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, fresh water, potty breaks, exercise, playtime, and plenty of affection. My goal isn’t just to ‘check in’ on your pet, it’s to provide the same level of attentive, compassionate care I’d want for my own animals.

“Beth was great! She and my dog Frank got along very well from first meeting (when he tends to be quite excited and vocal). I had complete confidence having her stay in my home and take care of Frank. When my plans were cut short due to illness, she was kind and understanding and worked with me to coordinate when I'd return. Communication was excellent before, during and after. I will definitely have her stay with Frank again.”

“Rae did a great job with our little girl. She spent lots of time with her and got to know her well. She sent us photo and video updates daily. We will use her again.”

“Amelia watched our two dogs, cat and house for 10 days and did an amazing job. The animals loved her and she took great care of our home while she was here. We will definitely be booking her again!”

About: Although I have no official skills and training...yet, but I grew up caring for animals. For 18 years I lived on a small farm in Michigan where we raised chickens, rabbits, goats, alpacas, dogs, and cats. These animals were my beloved pets and would get shown at the county fair every summer. Since moving away I have accumulated three cats of my own. As I continue to figure things out and gain experience I can promise that all pets under my care will be well cared for, loved, and that all owners will receive top notch communication. I have just separated from the Navy and am unable to get another job due to some traveling I have planned over the next couple months. I am free all day pretty much any day! I do not offer sitting or boarding in my home due to my cats not appreciating outsiders, but I am more than happy to go to your house and do whatever is needed!

“Jasmine is AWESOME! We have used her to house and doggo sit for our Stella 3 times now. Our Stella loves her, and we will certainly be using her again when we need a sitter, if possible!”

“Marissa has stayed with our dog multiple times over the past year and she has done a phenomenal job every time. She always takes the best care of our dog and our house when she stays. Tucker takes oral and injectable medications and I am never worried when she stays with him. I know he is in the best hands.”

“Emma was truly one of the best sitters I’ve ever had. She went above and beyond to take care of my dog. She was extremely mindful, respectful, kind and patient with my dog. She genuinely enjoys taking care of pets and does a great job. I was getting consistent updates though out the day and I loved it.”

“Priscilla is the best! Daisy loved her! We are staying down in the San Diego area for a few days in our motorhome. Priscilla came out to the RV park and watched Daisy so we could go out and explore the area for the day. She kept my wife updated, and kept Daisy busy. The best sitter we have found on River so far!”

Peter N.

“Jackie was so amazing! She gave my babies their medicine and cleaned them daily. Very respectful and kind. She sent pictures daily and watched my cats for just about 2 weeks. I’d definitely book her again if needed!”

About: I have nearly 3 years of hands-on dog-sitting experience caring for dogs of different personalities, energy levels, and needs. I started my dog sitting journey for a family member very often for about a year straight and then later on joined Rover. I joined rover with my mom under her as I was not 18 yet and I started gaining additional experience caring for clients’ dogs (Please see photos for past reviews). I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, giving attention and companionship, maintaining their routines, and doing anything and everything to make sure they feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. As someone with a cat and a previous dog owner I understand from first hand experience how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I always treat the dogs in my care with patience, love, and responsibility. I love animals so much so I will always treat them with love!!! I’m currently working part time so I’m able to dedicate lots of time to give attention and care to your pet! I’m flexible and even when I am away I will make sure they are taken care of and comfortable before I go! I prioritize safety and comfort when caring for pets in their owner’s home. I always follow their routine, keep their environment secure, and give them plenty of attention, supervision, and care.

About: I’ve always had a passion for training my dogs, since I started reading books about the subject I have learned how to understand their behaviors and needs, create a bond with them and grow a loving relationship with them while being able to teach and guide them how you want. I’m usually available throughout the week, only on friday afternoons I leave home to take care of my kids for the weekend and then back available on mondays I like to learn and stick to their usual habits to keep them stress free. I only take care on clients homes since my aunt runs a day care at home

“Nikki was amazing with our 3 dogs. We would 100% recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy to watch their dogs.”

“Sylivia was great with house sitting and took care of my Buster boy! Quick responses. Would def recommend her to anyone!”

About: I have had pets for 17 years and so far I have 2 cats and 5 very friendly dogs. I know every behavior and jests at them or if they feel sick I am at home full time. The only time I go out is to go to the market and the occasional medical appointment. The rest of the time I will be caring for and raising your little loved one. My house has a secure fence, a yard to run around in. They will have fun meeting new friends. When they get tired they will sleep in a bed or blanket if they want.

About: I have had pets since I was born. I raised small breed dogs (family dogs) when I was younger and went in to raise 2 large breed dogs at my current age. I have trained my dogs since they were puppies and have often received compliments on their behavior. They enjoy time outside, snuggles on the couch, and homemade treats. All of which I’d offer to any dog in my care. I have a spacious home with plenty of room to run around. I am skilled in giving medication to all sizes and ages. My Aussie is not keen on meds so I’ve had to learn ways to get around that. I love all animals and someday hope to have a farm once my husband retires from the Navy. I do not work. My husband is the worker. I’m the homemaker. So I have plenty of time to do drop ins, check ins, etc and will not leave your dog for long periods of time. I have my own car, so I’m able to make it from point A to B without issue. I also have a routine that my own dogs follow, so I’m up everyday by 8am. I have 2 crates already located in my home. I hsve 2 dogs of my own. A female pitbull (Erza) and a male Aussie (Killua). I have a garage that I allow them to run around in for exercise (I’m working on making it into a doggy play room for my dogs, but it’s large so it’d fit up to 8 dogs). I have have 3 Furbo cameras in my home, so on the off chance I have to not be home I am able to view them on camera. I can also send recordings as needed.

“Zai was the best dog/house sitter! She took care of our pups and they adored her! Will definitely be booking again for our next time away from home!”

“Our first time with Abigail as Zoey’s roommate for a week. We couldn’t have asked for s better experience. Abigail kept us up to date with photos and texts. We came home to a clean house, a happy dog and she even even laundered the sheets and remade the guest bed. Bonus is she is a student so she was home with Zoey most of the time. Definitely recommend her.”
