About: What sets me apart is my hands-on experience as a vet assistant, which means I not only love animals—I’m trained to care for them with a professional eye and a compassionate heart. I have experience handling pets of all ages, from playful puppies to senior sweethearts who need a little extra TLC. I’m comfortable giving medications, monitoring health changes, and understanding animal behavior on a deeper level. Beyond the clinical side, I create a calm, safe, and loving environment where your pet can feel at home—even when you’re away. Whether it’s belly rubs, enrichment activities, or slow-paced walks for older pups, I tailor every visit to meet your pet’s unique needs. With me, you’re not just hiring a sitter—you’re gaining a dedicated animal care professional who treats your furry family like my own. Pet care is a natural and fulfilling part of my weekly routine. I currently volunteer at a veterinary clinic part time as a veterinary assistant, where I work hands-on with dogs and cats all day. This keeps me consistently connected to animal care and allows me to apply my skills in real-world situations. The schedule is flexible, and I love dedicating that time to pet sitting, drop-in visits, and dog walks. Whether it’s providing enrichment for energetic pups/kitties, gentle care for senior pets, or simply giving them love and attention while you’re away, I truly enjoy being part of their routine. Caring for animals isn’t just something I do—it’s something that brings me peace and purpose. When caring for pets in my client’s home, I make it a priority to stick to their usual routine—whether that means feeding schedules, playtime, walks, or medication. I know how important it is for pets to feel safe in their own space, so I bring a calm, respectful energy into every visit. I treat your home like my own and your pets like family. When pets stay in my home, they’ll enjoy a spacious, pet-friendly environment with a large, secure backyard—perfect for supervised play and outdoor time. I make sure the space is clean, cozy, and enriched with toys, comfy rest spots, and lots of love. I’m also a proud cat mom to two healthy, fully vaccinated cats who are very used to other animals but typically stay in my room to give visiting pets their own space and comfort. Whether I’m in your home or hosting in mine, I bring my vet assistant training, experience, and genuine love for animals into every moment of care.
About: Over the last few years, I've done sits from Colorado to Missouri to Florida! I have experience with basically all size and energy levels. It's been a blast getting to meet different people and grow closer to different pets! I’ll be with your dog almost 24/7! I take breaks often. Little walks here and there in addition to a long walk is a must. Of course playing mini catch inside. I work remote full time on my business as a B2B eCommerce web developer. My schedule is usually gym in the morning, work til about 7pm, hang around go for a walk, and then bed around 11pm. Also, I don’t go out nor party too often as I work so much, so your home will be in safe hands! I'm willing to help anyway I can. I built homes as a project manager in Cape Coral for 2 years, so I can help with basic house quirks as well. When it comes to caring for you home, open communication is key.
“Isabella is extremely communicative, submits and updates photos and summary visits in a prompt and clear manner. She is kind, listens to concerns, and has been punctual with every visit. I'm blessed to have her take care of my cat and I know you will feel the same way too!”
“Priscilla took great care of my cat while I was away! Always sent updates and photos and responded quickly to any question or message. Very trustworthy and it was reassuring that she has a background working with animals in her career. I would definitely have her pet-sit again and highly recommend her!”
“Yamileth was great! Sadie seemingly loved her stay and was made very comfortable. She sent daily updates and kept me well informed on Sadie’s status and helped ease my worried cat-mom mind! Would absolutely use her services again!”
About: I’ve had a dog for most of my life up until I was 16, when I had to move and her medical condition wouldn’t allow her to come with. We left her with my more than capable uncle and she lived the rest of her life happily. I later took care of my girlfriend’s cat for a week which helped me learn how to take better care of felines. I have also helped a family friend with taking care of their two cats after she had to leave the country for an emergency. I am currently a student and plan to work part-time. I hope that this service will help me fill in the hours where I don’t have anything to do. Most of my availability will be on weekends. I try to make sure all pets are taken care of in a safe way. If I notice their body language is uninviting I will give them space. I make sure there is nothing that can harm the animals in any way, including food, objects or other animals.
“This was our first time using a pet sitter from River and we couldn’t have been happier. Rachel was extremely professional and was great with our cats. We loved getting photo updates!”
“Super happy with Kaylee’s service. Even though it was super last minute, she was very attentive with Suki and took good care of her for me. Will definitely book again, thanks again”

About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and basically trained all of them myself. I have a lot of free time and I am very respectful to your house and pets. I am a freshman at FIU and have lots of classes online. I have lots of free time. I am available most of the time and am able to be ready with little time planned. Pets unfortunately are not allowed at my apartment. If needed, I can give the dog water if needed but no pets are not allowed overnight.
About: Hi, I’m Carina! a lifelong animal lover who grew up surrounded by pets and have rescued dogs of my own. I treat every pup like family, offering safe, fun, and loving walks tailored to their needs. Whether your dog is playful or shy, I’ll make sure they’re cared for with genuine compassion and joy. Right now, I’m home from college visiting family and taking online classes, so my schedule is super flexible! Most of my days are free, unless I’m spending time with my own furry family. That means I’m available and ready to give your pets the same love and attention I give my own; whether it’s a walk, a cuddle, or a check-in while you’re away.

“David was fantastic. Super easy to communicate with and very friendly and down to earth. He is a great pet sitter and he took care of my five cats without issue. I came home and they were all happy and in fact the day after he left they seem sad that he was gone.

He's a great, reliable, and caring gentleman.”
