About: I’ve always loved animals and treat every pet like family. I have experience caring for dogs of all ages, including two senior dogs who lived happy lives until 14 years old. I’m patient, attentive, and always make time to give pets the love, care, exercise, and comfort they need. Whether it’s walks, feeding, playtime, or simply keeping them company, I truly enjoy being around animals and making them feel safe and cared for. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I always make time for walks, feeding, playtime, cuddles, and giving pets attention throughout the day. I’m reliable, flexible, and committed to making sure pets feel comfortable, happy, and loved while they’re in my care. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I create a calm, loving, and clean environment where pets can feel safe and relaxed. I pay close attention to routines, behavior, and special needs, especially for senior pets who may need extra patience and care. I treat every animal like my own and make sure they receive plenty of supervision, affection, and attention at all times.
“Hana was a great doggie Mamma when we were away for a week. The dogs looked happy and in spite of very hot weather they got in their exercise and usual stimulation and cuddles. Thank you Hana!!!”
“Personally I give them a 10/10. They took the time to bring Bagel out of his shell while he was in a new place. They were very friendly, patient, and updated with pictures and videos to ease my worries while I was away. I would definitely board my Bagel here again!”
About: Pet care is not just a job for me but a full time career. I have completed pet care coursework; a history caring for those with special needs, internal connections with PetSmart Inc professionals, and daily care for my beloved 5 dogs & 5 cats. I’m currently available weekdays and weekends willing to accommodate client’s busy schedules. I have graduated from school and ready to work full time caring for domesticated animal breeds. I have a very clean and spacious suburban home with one small indoor cat and one small dog. No children. Smoke free. Outdoor security camera present. *** I am very comfortable working in all types of client environments.
“Super responsive team- Coco loved to be at your house! Your dog and Coco seemed to get along well. Thank you for the pictures, Coco’s bath, and your loving care of our fur-baby!”
About: Since I was 16, I’ve lovingly cared for dogs and cats of all kinds for friends, family, and neighbors! 🐶🐱 To me, animals are more than just pets—they are cherished family members. I promise to give your precious fur babies a fun, cozy staycation while you are away on your vacation! Your pets will never be left alone, I’m home all day & have all the time to spend time with them, & be able to feed, play & walk with them. I’ll be able to have the time to send multiple photos, & videos throughout the stay. I’ll be able to mirror their exact feeding, sleeping, and potty schedules to minimize stress. Your pets will have access to my living room, and bedroom, which they can be on my furniture, I don’t mind. Where I live, also has a park I can walk them daily for them & I can be active. Because I am at home all day, your pets will receive constant supervision, plenty of potty breaks, and interactive playtime. If they were to spend the night with me, they’d sleep in the bedroom so I can ensure that if needed I can take them out to potty, & give them reinsurance that they feel comfortable & loved.
“We had an amazing experience with Abigail! She was incredibly sweet and took such great care of our Buddy. She kept us updated with pictures throughout his stay, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was obvious she spent quality time playing with him, cuddling him, and making him feel loved. She even gave him a bath after he got a little muddy from playing outside, which was such a thoughtful touch! We truly appreciated the love and care she showed him, and we will absolutely be booking with her again in the future. Highly recommend!”
“Naydamar was very caring for my dog. She sent lots of photos and videos of our dog having fun. Our dog got along well with hers. In all the photos and videos they were playing. I would definitely trust Naydamar with my baby again.”
“They took good care of Maya while we were away and were great with communication pre-boarding and during. Sent pictures to keep us assured she was doing well during her stay. Will happily book again when our Maya needs a stay. 🤙🏽”
About: Hi there! My name is Cory and I am from Riverside, CA. I'm 24 years old and love animals immensely! I love going on walks and love playing with dogs, cats, and any other animal friends. I'm naturally great with animals and there have been times where vicious or otherwise unwelcoming animals have been known to be my friends in no time. I have owned dogs my entire life and I've owned cats for most of it. I have at least 9 years of experience of taking car of animals on my own. My wife is a registered animal care expert and has taught me so much about so many different animals. My wife even has her own website dedicated to teaching people about animals Wisepetclub dot com if youre interested. Thank you for reading my bio at all and taking the time out of your day to get to know me. I hope I get to take care of your pet in the near future 🥰 I have fully open availability, I just left a really bad job and I'm looking for work that I will actually love. I love animals so my wife suggested Rover I can go to any home and watch any animal for any amount of time required, thats all up to you! We have a small, but secure backyard with a pool if your dog likes to swim! Our fence is fairly high, but very big energetic dogs can probably get over it such as malinois or German shepherds. Anything smaller than that would be perfect. Our house is too small to watch, but my dogs are very friendly so they can have a playmate
“The whole process was excellent with Evelyn. She took great care with our little guy. She kept us informed throughout his stay with her. Drop-off and pick-up was hassle free. And he was as happy as can be when we picked him up.”
“This was my first time leaving my dog with someone outside of my family. I was very nervous but Christine made it so easy! She was communicative, proactive, and so loving! It was like a vacation for my dog being with Christine! Will definitely book another stay in the future.”
“Beyond amazing! My dog had a great time and she was extremely happy. Exceptional care and he sent us so many pictures and videos showing us everything she’s doing which we really appreciated. I’d give him 100000000 stars not just 5 🌟”
“Elizabeth is an actual saint. She survived 4 nights with our two chaotic house hippos and somehow still liked them by the end! Her photo and text updates were so consistent, it felt like my dogs got their own reality show while we were away. Book her immediately—unless I beat you to it. 6/5 stars.”
“Rosalyn is awesome! She is always available, whether it's just a day or 2 weeks vacation, or holidays, or a last-minute notice for daycare. Most importantly, Tommy loves her and loves to go to her house! I enjoyed seeing the cute pictures and funny videos she sent, seeing my baby happy with other dogs either at the house or on a walk. She's also very flexible on her schedule, helping me to pick up and drop off Tommy whenever I need. Her house is a doggy wonderland, very spacious and super clean! It feels good that you have a sitter you can trust when you are away from your fur baby. I know she will treat my baby like her own. Thank you, Rosalyn!”
“We had a wonderful experience with Lisa! She took excellent care of our Samoyed, Ares, while we were away. From the start, she was warm, professional, and communicative—sending us regular updates and photos that gave us total peace of mind. Ares looked so happy and relaxed the whole time. It’s clear Lisa genuinely loves dogs and treats them like her own. We’re so grateful to have found her and will absolutely book with her again. Highly recommend”

“Zapporah came in twice a day to feed and play with my 2 cats for a little over 2 weeks while I was away in Europe, and I cannot be happier! She really put my nervous cats at ease (in fact, one of them hides from everyone, but he came out for her within a few days). She took very good care of my kitties, played with them, maintained the litter box and was very communicative. I felt a lot more comfortable being so far away for so long with them in her care and I will absolutely work with her again in the future.”
“Hannah was so great with our cream retriever, Maggie. She kept us up to date with comments and pictures. Hannah took the initiative to play extra games with her. Thanks Hannah!”
“Aimee was amazing! They took great care of our cat and kept us updated with photos and messages every day. Our cat looked happy and relaxed when we got home, and everything in the house was just as we left it. We really appreciate the time and attention they gave. Highly recommend!”
“Angela was fantastic with our standard poodles Bentley and Coco. Bentley is by far the anxious one, but Angela was incredibly patient and won him over immediately. She dropped in twice a day, made sure they got plenty of playtime, and always sent photo updates that gave us peace of mind while we were away. She followed all care instructions perfectly. We highly recommend Angela and will absolutely book her again.”
About: Hi, I'm Justine, lifelong cat lover and feral cat mom. I've had the joy of raising and fostering cats for over 20 years.

“We had a last-minute, urgent request, and Bradley is our angel. Bingo and bluey love him and welcome him into their property. You can count on him. We are all deaf and he is willing to work with us.”
“Paris is our favorite cat sitter. She's keeps us updated with the most amazing photos! She's soo quick to respond and we feel at ease knowing our cats are happy in her care 💕 She even made them the cutest little catnip toys on her previous visit and they are soo obsessed. 10/10 would recommend.”
About: I've been a cat parent for 8 years to my baby boy Snuggles, and I've done cat sitting for my friends and relatives many times over the last few years. I’m also helping my girlfriend raise kittens! I would do anything for any cat I meet, from strays on the street to your precious fur baby! I understand that cats are unique creatures, each with their own personalities, needs and boundaries. You can trust me to love, respect and care for your kitty. I can do anything you and your kitty need, from enriching playtime to following special feeding instructions to deep cleaning litter boxes.
“Megan was very communicative with us each day she fed our cats. She was able to give oral liquid medication daily without issue to one cat and played happily with the others! Will rebook for future trips :)”
“I'd recommend Lauren to anyone looking for a drop-in for their fur babies! She really went out of her way for us! She showed up on her way to work to help my cats, and I stupidly forgot to unlock my door for her (We have an electronic door I open through my phone) and because my phone was on silent I never knew she was trying to reach me. But, luckily, she was kind enough to stop by after work to help with them. I was so grateful for her going back to tend to them! Such a caring person!”

“Lacey was awesome !! First time using Rover, so I was apprehensive at first , but Lacey made me feel very comfortable knowing my dog was taken care of.

I will definitely be using her again !”

“Megan, her partner, and her mom were all great with Luke. I was in town for a wedding that involved 3 different sessions and was so relieved Luke was well taken care of and had other dog buddies to hang out with.”
“Naydamar was super friendly and very patient with my dog. He is super shy around new people and she took her time with him. She sent photos and a video of his time with her and he looked like he was having fun. Her dog Milo is super friendly and probably made it an easier transition for my dog. Cooper can’t wait for another play date.”
“I admit to being a nervous fur Momma. My babies not only loved Kayci, but her doggies and mine play very well together. We searched for 2 years for a replacement to our previous (who rudely moved to Florida. The nerve!) sitter. We were starting to thing our old sitter was a unicorn. Then we found Kayci! We had our first date day in 2 years. I didn't worry once! She's sweet, caring and very attentive. We found another unicorn 🦄”

About: Dogs have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember. In fact, I took my very first steps with a Rottweiler named Oso by my side! Growing up around these large breeds has helped me plenty with hands-on experience and confidence with dogs of all sizes and personalities. Over the years, I’ve cared for and loved several dogs, including a German Shepherd, Siberian Husky, and currently a Malinois mix and two husky mixes. I’m very familiar with the energy, exercise needs, and unique personalities that come with active breeds. While I have lots of experience with larger dogs, I absolutely adore small dogs too. I want make sure that every dog feels safe, comfortable, and cared for. I’m patient with shy or timid pups and always take the time to earn their trust at their own pace. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, running around, or simply having a calm companion nearby, I’m their new best friend ☺️. If you have a high-energy dog that needs to burn off some extra energy, I’m more than ready to help tire them out with plenty of exercise and fun 🤩 ! ❗️I’m available all weekdays and holidays! Although, i’m in college, studying Administration of Justice, and depends on my schedule for the semester since classes may vary on my availability. but it doesn’t mean i won’t make time for your babies! I do prefer for your animals to be treated at your home, because my dogs can be protective of our home and won’t want to put any animals in harms way.
About: Hi my name is Brandi and I am located in Riverside CA. I graduated from UC Riverside with a BA in sociology in 2020. I do work part time Monday to Friday. I am available after 3:30pm on most weekdays and I am available most weekends. I have three cats and three dogs. I have a love for animals and look forward to getting to know new people and new pets! I have a passion for animals and look forward to providing them with a comfortable environment while their owner is away on holiday. This includes meeting special needs. I love seniors! Puppies will be on a case by case basis. I look forward to meeting you and your furry friends soon! I currently work part-time and my husband Chad helps me when he is home. He is a great help with Boardings, check ins, and daycares. I have a fenced yard and 1 outdoor fur babies that you fur babies can play with. If needed I can crate your dog/cat if required. I have a pet gate to separate anyone for their safety. Pets that are not spayed or neutered maybe subject to an extra charge if marking or going into heat does occur. These situations are on a case by case basis. I currently work part time with RUSD and I am available most weekdays after 3:30pm, sometimes earlier depending on the day. I am available most weekends as well. For safety I have baby gates on the porch to prevent animals from exploring. I also have baby gates in the house to discourage animals to go into certain parts of the house.
About: I have been training dogs since I was a little girl, teaching our family pet new tricks. I've since trained 4 puppies into good citizens and co-trained 2 large breed dogs, one of whom is a reactive rescue. I am very confident with dogs and know how to work through difficulties. Since I have one reactive dog in my home, I am cautious and take safety very seriously. I have professional experience caring for dogs and cats in a kennel environment. I worked at a veterinary clinic as an assistant and kennel attendant for 3 years. I am CPR and first aid certified. I also have extensive experience with horses which keeps my first aid skills sharp! I love all animals and will treat your friend as if they were my own. I am very detail oriented so I love to have lists and detailed instructions that I will follow to the letter while you're away. In my spare time, I volunteer at a cat shelter and foster difficult cases. I'm extremely attentive to animals well-being. For in-home boarding, I have space for 1 additional dog at a time. We have 2 separate yards, but one is reserved for my reactive dog to keep her and our other animals safe and happy. Our other 3 dogs are friendly but high energy. They are able to take turns with your dog being outside or play together if your dog likes to do so. Please feel free to ask me any questions and voice any concerns! I am currently trying my hand at freelance graphic design and content creation, so I work from home and have a very flexible schedule. The only commitment I have is barn cleaning Monday-Wednesday for 3 hours each day. In your home, I will follow all instructions to the letter and ensure your animals and home are kept safe, happy, and in order. At my home, I have 2 separate yards and multiple kennels available if needed. My own dogs sleep and take breaks from the elements in their kennels, but are otherwise outside barking at squirrels! Depending on your dogs temperament and play style, they can either take turns with my dogs in one of the yards or rough house along with them. While my dogs are large, they have proven themselves to know their own strength. They played very well with a Chihuahua we were fostering for a few weeks.
About: I have been around animals my entire life and have volunteered at an animal shelter where I socialized puppies and cats. Animals have always been very comfortable around me and vice versa. I am comfortable with all sizes of dogs and breeds. I care very deeply for animals and would love to help you ensure your dogs are getting the exercise and attention they need. I graduated college with a major in veterinary technology at TJC, and currently work as a veterinary technician. I do have a full time job at a veterinary clinic with my days and hours varying. Typically I work 5 days a week with a max of 8 hours a day. Due to this I am unable to be with your pet at all times but would love to spend my free time with them! I make sure to stay in close proximity to the animal and keep a close eye on them while playing with toys to prevent any injury. I am very knowledge on what kinds of things are toxic to both cats and dogs and am able to pick up on signs of possible varying illnesses.
About: I’ve watched many people’s pets and have had both dogs and cats as pets my whole life. I also enjoy dedicating time to volunteer at local animal shelters. I’m very passionate about providing care for animals! I’m currently a nursing student at WCU, and I bring a high level of organization and responsibility to everything i do. I have a genuine love for animals and would love to spend my free time with your pets!! I will ensure they feel happy, comfortable, and well looked after. Whether it’s playtime, walks, or simply giving them company, I’m here to provide the best care possible!

About: I’ve spent the last 10 years caring for both dogs and cats, and I treat every pet like they’re my own. I’m a big believer that great pet care is a mix of love, routine, and understanding what each animal truly needs. Whether your pet thrives on long walks, quiet company, mental enrichment games, or a consistent daily schedule, I’m there to make sure they feel safe, understood, and genuinely cared for. I’ve learned a lot about dog nutrition, behavior, and enrichment over the years, so I’m always happy to support special diets, picky eaters, anxious pups, or pets who need a little extra stimulation to feel their best. I follow routines exactly as you set them—mealtimes, meds, walks, play, bedtime rituals—because your pet’s comfort matters most. Most of all, I’m here to give you peace of mind. You’ll get reliable communication, plenty of photo updates, and a sitter who notices the little things. My goal is simple: to make your pet feel happy, safe, and loved while you’re away. I’m free after 1 pm on weekdays and wide open on weekends, so your pet gets plenty of attention whenever you need it. I’m only available for overnights on Fridays and Saturdays but I can house sit till late night on the days I can’t stay overnight. If you’re looking for a time that doesn’t quite fit this schedule, just reach out—I can see if I can make it work with a little notice. A day with me starts by following your pet’s routine—meals, potty breaks, and plenty of snuggles. Dogs get walks, playtime, and mental enrichment, while cats get attention, cozy cuddles, and interactive play. Drop-ins include feeding, meds, and extra love, and house sitting means continuous companionship and care. You’ll always get updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for.
About: I volunteered at my local humane society for 3 years and worked with various animals like dogs, cats, and rabbits. I've also had dogs, cats and rabbits growing up. I work a part-time job but still home pretty much full time. I am mobile so I can take your dog pretty much anywhere you need me to take them; dog park, hiking, appointments, etc. If your dog is more active or likes adventures, I love to go hiking or exploring trails. Napping is my favorite pastime, so if your dog enjoys napping I specialize in cuddling or taking naps together. My house has a pool if your dog loves the water like I do, and I'd say I'm an amateur dog washer. I look forward to doing business with you & your pup! I’m currently a day at home mom looking to making pet care my full time job. I have daycare within my service area, so I can come to care for your pet at any time of the day! For house sitting services, I provide overnight care in your home and maintain your pet's normal routine. I may leave throughout the day for work, errands, family time, etc but I always ensure your pet receives the care, attention, potty breaks, meals, exercise, and all the snuggles they need. If your pet requires a more constant-care schedule, please discuss those needs before booking. I do not provide in home boarding at this time, but am trained in proper walking procedures to prevent harm to your dog or others.
About: Hi there! My name is Cory and I am from Riverside, CA. I'm 24 years old and love animals immensely! I love going on walks and love playing with dogs, cats, and any other animal friends. I'm naturally great with animals and there have been times where vicious or otherwise unwelcoming animals have been known to be my friends in no time. I have owned dogs my entire life and I've owned cats for most of it. I have at least 9 years of experience of taking car of animals on my own. My wife is a registered animal care expert and has taught me so much about so many different animals. My wife even has her own website dedicated to teaching people about animals Wisepetclub dot com if youre interested. Thank you for reading my bio at all and taking the time out of your day to get to know me. I hope I get to take care of your pet in the near future 🥰 I have fully open availability, I just left a really bad job and I'm looking for work that I will actually love. I love animals so my wife suggested Rover I can go to any home and watch any animal for any amount of time required, thats all up to you! We have a small, but secure backyard with a pool if your dog likes to swim! Our fence is fairly high, but very big energetic dogs can probably get over it such as malinois or German shepherds. Anything smaller than that would be perfect. Our house is too small to watch, but my dogs are very friendly so they can have a playmate
About: I love many animals, especially dogs. Growing up I raised many litters of puppies and have always been around dogs. A several years ago my senior dogs passed away. And it took until recently for me to get another dog. Since I’ve taken care of family dogs and realized that this is something I would really like to do with my spare time, and I’d appreciate it if you would let me watch your fur family member. While taking care of your dog I will treat them like them they were my own and make sure they are well-tended. I like to go on runs and hikes so if you have dogs that need that extra exercise I can provide all the exercise they need. Your buddy is my buddy. I am fully insured as a pet sitter and certified in dog and cat CPR and First Aid. Although I work full time from home but my weekends tend to be very free, so I have spare time if you work weekends or get off of work late. As I cannot pet sit at my home, I will be sure to secure all doors and fences at your residence. Please let me know of any specifics for your pet.

“We had an amazing experience with Abigail! She was incredibly sweet and took such great care of our Buddy. She kept us updated with pictures throughout his stay, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was obvious she spent quality time playing with him, cuddling him, and making him feel loved.

We truly appreciated the love and care she showed him, and we will absolutely be booking with her again in the future. Highly recommend!”
