Highly-rated overnight sitters - Ocean View
“Great sitter! Jeanne (BJ) & her husband Jay were very accommodating and communicative, making for a super easy stay for our Kojak for several nights. He loved their fenced in backyard! They were sure to send regular updates and photos and videos which were much appreciated! Would definitely recommend and will be booking again next time we need a sitter! :-)”
“Our experience with Colleen was truly outstanding! From the very beginning, she demonstrated a level of professionalism and care that immediately put us at ease. It was clear that her top priority was Storm's well-being and comfort. Colleen took the time to ask thoughtful, detailed questions to fully understand Storm’s needs and personality, which spoke volumes about her dedication. Her home is not only beautiful but also a calm and welcoming environment—Storm settled in with ease. We felt confident and reassured knowing our dog was in such attentive and loving hands. Colleen went above and beyond, and we couldn’t be more grateful. Highly recommend her to anyone seeking top-notch, compassionate care for their furry family member! Thank you so much!”
“Neena and her family did an amazing job welcoming my dog , Rosie into her home . Neena kept me informed about her stay and I felt totally at ease having her there . She was totally professional all the way . So happy to have found her to care for my dog when I was away .”
“I wish there were more stars I could give to the most caring - highly knowledgeable and wonderful care givers! This is the best place my dog has ever stayed! We will be back! Thanks again -”
“Alexa was the BEST! She went above and beyond my expectations. She constantly kept me updated, sending pictures and updates about my dog, Benny, throughout the day. She was born for this job and excels at it. She has a true love for your pet and treats them as her own. I would trust her with any of my pets and will definitely be using her in the future. She is wonderful and I couldn't recommend her more!!”
“I found Kelly in a moment of desperation when I needed a last minute sitter for my fur baby. Not only was she quick to respond but also came to meet my recent rescue before hand. I had never used a River sitter before and after meeting her in person and learning about her vet tech background I was confident she would take great care of my girl. She sent me daily pictures and updates and took excellent care of Zoya for me while I was away. I will 100% be booking her again!”
“We were very pleased with Cory, he kept me informed of how teddy was doing. Even though Cory has cats and teddy was not a fan of them he handle the situation great. !!!!!”
“Once again Gizmo was well taken care of while we were away. It is very comforting to travel knowing that our precious baby is in good hands. Thanks for treating him as one of your own!”
“We were a bit apprehensive about leaving our 2-year-old Cavapoo, Ollie, with a sitter for the first time, but Sylvia put our minds at ease the moment we met her. She is incredibly caring and attentive. I loved receiving the photo updates showing Ollie happy and enjoying his stay—it meant I didn't have to worry about him at all! I can’t recommend Sylvia enough for anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter.”
“This was my first time using Lori and I was so impressed. I am so happy I found her for my two babies. After a horrible experience with a local boarding place she eased my fears and treated my dogs like her own . I will definitely use her again it made my trip less stressful. Thank you Lori ❤️”
“They were great! They kept my wife and I informed of the dogs wellbeing everyday with photos and text. We had a late pick up on Sunday due to our drive and they were very accommodating.”
“Daisy loved being with Michele! Daisy loves being the center of attention. She got to walk and play and share her love. Michele is a great communicator and we were happy to get little notes assuring us that Daisy cared for with care and joy! Thank you Michele! Amy & Dan”
“Jessica was great. She responded very quickly on very short notice. Felt very good dropping Leif off and Leif looked great picking him up. I would use this boarder again in the future.”
“Leaving our dog, Mazie with Sandee gives us total peace of mind. She is incredibly reliable and communicative, sending us multiple updates and photos daily. It is comforting to see how happy and relaxed Mazie is in her care. We always return to a happy, healthy dog and feel completely confident that everything is taken care of. We're very grateful that we have found her and highly recommend her to anyone who needs a trustworthy and experienced sitter.”
“We had such a wonderful experience leaving our 11 year old Chihuahua with Kathy. This was the first time we left Tootsie with someone after having her 2 years. Tootsie has a bad back and seizure medication to take. Kathy was very careful to listen to all our concerns. She updated us twice daily with a lovely note about her day and a picture. We knew she was in great hands and we enjoyed our week with no worries. Tootsie had a wonderful time and had all her needs met. She had multiple walks a day and lots of attention. I highly recommend Kathy without any hesitation!”
“Eric is the best!! He took such good care of my guys Henry. He sent multiples updates and videos every day. He went above and beyond playing with him in his huge fenced yard with Henry’s ball which can be exhausting! I highly recommend him!!!”
About: Hi, my name is Katie! 😊 I worked in a high stress telecommunications job for many years but my true passion is to walk, train, play with, and take excellent care of dogs. I absolutely love dogs and animals! If my husband and I are driving down the road and I see a dog without an owner, he automatically pulls the car over so I can attempt to rescue and find their owner! I am the extreme dog lover who carries an extra set of leashes, water bowl, and treats in our car just in case. I grew up taking care of and training a German Shepherd and Sheltie. I have owned/and or fostered a few Golden Retrievers, Border Collie, Black Lab, and a Rat Terrier/Red Heeler mix. I love high energy dogs, have strong arms to handle pulling dogs, and enjoy leash training and teaching basic commands. I have also taken care of farms and multiple kinds of farm animals. Our current fur baby is a 1 year old Golden Retriever. She truly has a heart of gold! 💛 I also love and am patient with senior dogs. I look forward to meeting you and your precious fur babies. I also have a heart for people in pain who can’t get outside with their dogs. I would love to help! I am available to take care of dogs. I can walk and take care of your fur babies. They can stay with me if they get along with other dogs and children. I always make sure to check water supply especially during the hot months! Sometimes pavement can be too hot for a dog’s paws, so would love to take your fur baby on adventures to local trails, beaches, and/or to dog parks. I understand each dog has different needs and want to treat your dog to the best of my ability, as well as, model how you take care of your own fur baby.
About: I love dogs and up until 3 months ago I had a rescue dog for 8 years until she developed serious medical issuse and I had her euthanized. I miss here and she was spoiled and I will do the same for your dog. I will provide plenty of walks and a nice fenced in backyard where your pet can roam free to do whatever. I allowed my dog to have free roam of my house, and your pet will have the same freedom, and I have a nice porch where your pet can lay outside and enjoy the sights. I am 75 and a retired RN. I live alone so my schedule is very flexible, with the appropriate notification. I am an early riser so your pet will be let out back first thing in the morning, then - 2or 3 walks during the day. I have a fenced in backyard and a fenced in deck above the garage so your pet can be safe in either one of the locations.

Cat caregivers near you - Ocean View
About: I’ve been volunteering with an animal shelter since 2018, and still work with them today. I’ve dealt with many different temperaments, breeds, and sizes. Within the shelter and outside of it at our events, I’ve gained a lot of experience and confidence when it comes to kitties.
“We met Alison for the first time today for a meet and greet. She was extremely friendly and charming. She listened to all of our needs and best of all, our boy Sherman absolutely loved her. We will be booking with her very soon.”
“Sydney is fantastic! She house-sat for us for five nights, caring for our elderly cat, Frankie, while we were out of the country. Frankie has medical issues that require frequent medication every 6–8 hours, and Sydney handled it all with ease. She had no trouble administering his pills and liquid meds and kept us updated with photos and messages at least three times a day. Knowing Frankie was in such capable hands made our trip much more relaxing. We will definitely ask for Sydney’s help again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable pet sitter.”
“I left my little guy (cat) home for two weeks, for the first time. Jen was communicative during each drop-in, sent pictures, reported his behavior (even when he tried to follow her home!) and made me feel comfortable that he was in good hands my whole vacation. She even brought in boxes that we delivered. I will most definitely ask Jen for her services in the future!!”
“Iuliana did an amazing job watching our cats, Chubbi and Slim, while we were away. She was dependable and punctual, always arriving on time and keeping us updated. It's clear that she truly cares about our cats, as they were happy and well taken care of. We highly recommend her and will definitely reach out to her next time we need a pet sitter!”
“Kasey was absolutely wonderful with our cats! This was a follow-up booking and once again she exceeded our expectations. She’s reliable, communicative, and genuinely cares about our pets. We came home to happy, relaxed cats and a clean, well-kept home. It’s such a relief knowing we can travel and fully trust that our cats are in great hands. We wouldn’t hesitate to book Kasey again - highly recommend!”
About: I got my first kitten when I was 12 and from the first "purrrrrrrr" I was hooked! I love cats of all shapes and sizes and would be more than happy to help you care for your furry friend when you are unable to.
“Neena was great! Top notch communication and was able to build a relationship with my shy scaredy cat to give her her insulin shots! Will absolutely be booking again in the future.”
About: I currently have three very different cats—one older and feisty, one who prefers people over pets, and one who’s a total snuggler—so I’m comfortable handling all types of feline personalities. I’ve also given medication, cleaned ears, and trimmed claws, so I’m confident with basic care needs. Whether your cat wants attention, space, or structure, I always meet them where they are and keep their routine calm and consistent.
About: I have over 10 years of experience in the pet care field, with a strong focus on providing knowledgeable, attentive care for cats. I am licensed, insured, bonded, and background checked, and I also own and operate my own professional pet care business. This means your cat is cared for by someone who treats pet sitting as a profession, not a side hobby. My background includes extensive work in animal rescue and volunteering, where I cared for cats across all life stages and health conditions. I have experience with kittens, senior cats, and cats with special needs, including those requiring medications, specialized diets, or extra observation and patience. Cats communicate in subtle ways, and over the years I have learned how to read feline body language, behavior patterns, and routine changes. I closely monitor appetite, litter box use, grooming habits, posture, and social interaction. This allows me to recognize early signs of illness, stress, or behavioral shifts and address concerns quickly while keeping pet parents informed. Because cats are often most comfortable in their own environment, I focus on maintaining familiar routines and minimizing stress during each visit. My professional background allows me to provide calm, consistent care that supports both physical health and emotional well being, especially for cats who do not do well with boarding or unfamiliar settings. My goal is to make sure your cat feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while you are away, while giving you confidence that their health and well being are being thoughtfully monitored.
About: Cats are truly my specialty. I’ve owned and cared for cats for many years, including managing the daily medical care of a diabetic cat. I’m comfortable with glucose monitoring, insulin injections, medication routines, and recognizing signs of hypoglycemia or behavioral changes. I understand that every cat has a different personality and comfort level, especially shy or anxious cats, and I’m patient about earning their trust. I pay close attention to litter box habits, appetite, hydration, and overall behavior so owners can feel confident their cat is receiving attentive, compassionate care while they’re away.
About: Ever since I can remember, cats have been a part of my everyday life. I grew up in a home filled with love—and 10 to 15 cats at any given time. My family and I rescue stray cats, and it’s taught me that every cat has a unique personality and story. I have worked at various shelters over the years, so have had experience with all different kinds of cats. I truly believe every cat deserves endless love, patience, and a place to feel safe.
About: Hi! I’ve been a proud cat parent for over 5 years and have also cared for my roommate’s energetic dog—so I understand the different needs and personalities pets can have. Whether your pet loves playtime, cuddles, or just a calm presence, I’m here to keep them happy and safe while you’re away! I have a flexible schedule, so I can easily adjust to your pet’s needs—whether it’s daytime visits, evening walks, or overnight stays including weekdays, weekends, and some holidays I follow the owner's instructions closely to keep things familiar and stress-free for the pet. I keep up with feeding schedules, walks, litter box or potty breaks, playtime, and any medications if needed. I also make sure to leave the home just as I found it—clean and tidy.
About: I have had dogs my whole life and started pet sitting back in high school. Dogs have always been a huge part of my life, and taking care of them just feels natural to me. In college, I also lived with cats, so I’m comfortable around both. I really treat every dog I watch like they’re my own — whether that means playtime, walks, or just some good cuddle time. I’m reliable, responsible, and always make sure your dog feels safe, loved, and happy while you’re away. I am currently working part-time so I can help out with your furry friends and give them my full attention and all the love and care they deserve! "I care for pets as if they were my own, whether in my home or yours. The services I provide are always tailored to fit your pet’s specific needs — whether that’s daily walks, playtime, feeding, administering medication, or simply providing lots of love and attention. I’m happy to adjust my care depending on what your furry friend needs to feel safe, happy, and comfortable!"
About: I grew up around animals and have been responsible for caring for both dogs and cats since I was around ten years old. I have a lot of experience with cat sitting and cat check-ins for friends and family as well. I have owned animals, both dogs and cats, well into their senior years and understand the differences in care older animals can require. I have had to raise a kitten from two weeks old and am familiar with bottle feeding and round the clock care. Im a huge cat person, I have four myself, and absolutely love spending time cats!

Perfect for high energy dogs - Ocean View
“From the moment I met Colleen, I knew she would be a great pet sitter because my dogs immediately loved her!! I have a 2 year old Bernedoodle and 5 year old Bernise Mountain dog and Colleen welcomed them into her home like they were old friends! We happened to run into her while on a walk after we met and my dogs were so excited to see her. That told me everything I needed to know! I am one of those pet parents that is hesitant to leave my dogs with other people, but I feel so blessed to have found Colleen. I know I have found a true pet lover to watch my dogs if I must be away, and that gives me true peace of mind!!”
“Great communication! Clean and appropriate environment. Despite Axe's terrible anxiety, he loved Cory and never fussed one bit. We will definitely be using Cory's daycare again!”
“Neena responded right away and was available and gracious in regard to my last minute request! Neena was great at communicating and Daisy was happy and well cared for upon pick up! Would definitely book here again!”
“Jacqueline and William were great! We made a last minute reservation and they accommodated our drop off and pickup times which needed to be flexible since we were going kayaking and uncertain how long it would take. Will definitely use them again the next time we are Trap Pond.”
“So glad to have found Christina to take care of our dog Lucky during our recent trip to the beach. She's warm and friendly and took care of Lucky as if he were her own. She communicated promptly and clearly. She was so flexible with our vacation schedule and sent us adorable pictures of Lucky throughout the day. I'd definitely rebook with Christina, no question.”
“Margit and Bill are wonderful with our puppies, they are communicative and made us feel so comfortable leaving our fur babies with them. On day 2 the puppies ran right into the house, so they must have had a great time.”
“Have you ever had one of those days where you were just off, and everything went wrong? Well our family was having one of those *weeks*! Alexa was so understanding and just rolled with us and our chaos; from the last minute stay, to us being new to rover, forgetting to leave our leash- on and on. She was SO good with our emotionally complex German Shepherd (heehee) and gave her a home away from home to relax at. Overall, what an awesome experience.”
“I cannot say enough great things about Michele! She has given me my life back! I have two little rescues that are highly reactive and do not like anyone, so consequently I have been unable to leave them. After talking with Michele and getting a sense of her experience and patience with rescue.dogs such as mine I decided to give her a try...and it went beautifully! My dogs had a great time with her and loved her...and cannot wait to go back again! Michele is truly not just very much a professional but is gifted with animals as well.”
About: I have taken care of dogs my whole life. I currently have 3 of my own who I take out and play fetch daily. My family and friend rely on me to help with their pets while at work. I am most definitely a dog mom and love dogs!! I’m currently working part-time. Both me and my partner are available weekdays and weekends. We are very flexible with our schedules. Between the two of us we can make it work to meet your needs. I have a large fenced in yard. Your dog must be friendly with other dogs and children if looking to have your pet stay with me.
“This was my first time using Rover and there were a large number of choices. I chose Bob and Susan because of their stated experience and the very positive reviews. I was very happy with the care and attention they paid to PJ for his doggy daycare. They gently introduced him to some other doggy guests of his size and he had a ball and plenty of activity. When I am back in the area, I"ll return here.”
“Martha was the best sitter for my dog that I could want. She let me and my dog, Parker, preview her place to see if we were compatible. She sent updates and pics showing how Parker was doing, and kept in touch. Parker came back calm and refreshed. A great experience I’d highly recommend.”
“Nicola is awesome! She takes such great care of my pupper. She was the first person I connected with on Rover for doggy daycare, and she quickly eased all my nerves. My dog, Roland, gets super excited on the mornings that he knows he’s going to visit her and Luna!”
About: I have always loved having and caring for animals since I was a child. I have owned and cared for many dogs, cats and other small pets in my home my entire life, and I am a very responsible person. I have also been a pet sitter for family and friends whenever they needed care for their pets. I was a Nanny and cared for small children in their homes for many years and also any pets that were in their homes as well. I will treat your pets with love and respect and also care for them as you would want them to be cared for. I will be devoted to caring for your fur babies in your home or as needed. Thank you for considering me as your pet care sitter. Rover is my full-time job, so I will be able to provide longer care times for your pets. I am a very reliable and caring person, and will love and care for your fur babies like they are my own. I provide the best care possible in your home or mine, and I will follow all of the instructions that you have for your pet in a loving and caring way.
About: I have taken care of dogs since I was 5 years old, usually 2 at a time, and am now a proud Dog Mom to Lola, who I bring with me when I am caring overnight for dogs. I am very good with training, and will happily follow your methods and keywords to reinforce good behavior with your dogs. I am also open to caring for cats, fish, hamsters, etc., as I have had various animals as pets over the years. For walks and house visits, my service radius is basically Long Neck, Oak Orchard, Harbeson, Angola by the Bay. For housesitting, I will travel up to 10 miles from Long Neck, and housesitting requests if my dog is permitted in your home as well, of course only when I am physically present. (She rides around in the car with me when weather permits, or stays with my roommate or parents in other cases.) I will only accept overnight assignments when I can bring my dog with me, so only work for 1 or 2 dog households. I currently work as a part-time consultant from home, and part-time as a waitress some evenings. I generally can provide potty breaks every 4 hours, as I have flexibility with my hours, but will be out of the house 3-4 times a week for up to 8 hours during the tourist season. I will care for your pets in your home, or on walks, according to your instructions. When caring for pets in your home, I am also willing to provide additional services such a light housekeeping, cooking or laundry, as time allows, sometimes for an addition fee. I was vaccinated against COVID-19, and have taken one booster. I will housesit when I will be staying overnight and can bring my dog with me as well, as she will stay with me on days I am not working.
About: I have always had pets in life (dogs, cats, rabbit, hamsters, fish) and even adopted a dog to live with me when I was in college. The majority of my experience is with dogs and it spans all sizes and breads (from an 8-pound Maltese to a 70+ pound American Staffordshire Terrier). Over the last few years, I have worked with several animal shelters and opened my house to foster pets in need. During this time I have worked to train puppies and taken care of pets that required special attention due to illnesses. I have recently retired and now have plenty of time to live the dream of caring for and playing all day with your fur children. I live on a pet friendly street (cul-de-sac) and my house is properly secure to keep pets safe (gates, crates if needed) and happily engaged in activities.

Adventure-ready dog walkers - Ocean View
About: I’m reliable and loving. I’d love to be connected with your fur babies. Any age is fine with me. I have a puppy and a senior. Think about this summer when you are out having fun and have to rush home to feed or walk your pet. I don't overnight in my home or yours because I have four animals of my own. Sorry. I’m retired and have a very flexible schedule. Most any time of day . Night time in a well lit area is preferred for me I don't overnight here or at you home as I have to be here for my own pets. But I can spend the day .
“Highly recommend! We used Susan for 2 straight weeks to provide an extra walk for our golden retriever while my parents were watching her (we were away on vacation). Her communication was wonderful and put us at ease. Will definitely book her again.”
“Kasey is amazing. I have a new rescue that’s super sweet but very reactive to other dogs on walks. I was very anxious about having a dog walker due to lily’s reactivity but Kasey really knows how to handle such behavior. Lily took to Kasey right away which really put me at ease. Kasey is so wonderful and gives such great updates on their daily walks and activities. I absolutely trust her with my fur baby and will be using her often!”
“We were first time users this past weekend. Our dog Jasper proved very difficult. Jennifer went above and beyond trying to bond with Jasper. She kept us informed of the situation. We appreciate her extra efforts ❤️❤️”
About: I’ve cared for both dogs and cats my entire life, and I currently have three cats and a puppy of my own. I’ve also had senior pets and pets with medical needs, so I’m completely comfortable giving medication and paying attention to signs of stress or discomfort. As a former elementary school teacher, I bring a calm, patient, and dependable approach to every visit. I always make sure pets feel safe, understood, and cared for—whether that means playtime, gentle company, or simply sticking to their normal routine. My goal is to make each visit stress-free for both you and your pet. I work from home part-time, so my schedule is very flexible throughout the week. I’m available for dog walking, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, and cat care, and I’m happy to work around your pet’s routine. While I don’t currently offer overnights or boarding, I’m able to stop by multiple times a day as needed. When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping things familiar and stress-free. I stick to your normal feeding, walking, and play routines, give plenty of attention, and make sure water and litter boxes are fresh. I’m patient with shy pets and happy to give extra cuddles to the social ones. I treat your home and your pets with the same care I give my own.
“I have had the absolute pleasure of entrusting my beloved dog, Kimchi, to the care of Iuliana, and I must say, she is absolutely fantastic! From the very beginning, it was clear that Iuliana possesses an extraordinary love and understanding for dogs. Kimchi instantly connected with her warm and caring demeanor. Iuliana's genuine passion for dogs radiates in every interaction. I was particularly impressed by Iuliana's incredible flexibility and understanding. Despite a last-minute change in my schedule, she graciously accommodated the time change for the walk. Her willingness to adapt to my needs without any hesitation truly speaks volumes about her dedication to the pets she cares for. The detailed updates provided after each walk were heartwarming. It was evident that Kimchi not only had a great walk but also thoroughly enjoyed spending time with Iuliana. She ensured Kimchi received the exercise, love, and attention that every dog deserves. Iuliana's reliability and professionalism are truly commendable. Knowing that Kimchi was in her capable and caring hands put my mind at ease. She exceeded all my expectations, making each walk a safe and enjoyable experience for my furry family member. If you're searching for someone who genuinely cares for your dog as if they were their own and consistently goes above and beyond, Iuliana is the perfect choice. I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone seeking exceptional care for their furry companions. Thank you, Iuliana, for your exceptional service and for being an invaluable part of Kimchi's well-being!”
About: I’ve always had a dog in my life, and it was my responsibility since I was young to care for our family pets! I am 32, and at the age of 13 I started housesitting dogs/cats for neighbors and friends. Consistently in the last 10 years, I have taken care of pets for family and friends while they are out of town. I have a 15 year old dog who is blind, so I understand the desire to have someone give specific care and love to an animal with special needs. Every animal I take care of, I care for like it's my own! I have cared for multiple large dogs at once, dogs with high energy demands, as well as dogs as young as puppies or as old as seniors. I have also been a nanny for the last 5 years, so respecting someone’s home and space is essential to me. I have recently moved to Delaware to be closer to family. With this new move, I also hope to focus on my art career and get more involved in the community. With that being said, my schedule is very flexible! I am a morning-person who loves to exercise early, so morning dog walks/pet care wouldn't be a problem! I also do not mind being up later at night, if that is what your pet needs. I care for other’s homes and pets how I would want someone to care for my own. I am extremely respectful, and will make sure your pet and home are my first priority! I am very good at following specific instructions for pet-care in one’s own home. I have experience caring for both old and young pets, as well as pets with additional needs, such as routine medications and vitamins. When housesitting, I am also able to give animals as many walks/play time as desired. Although I have a dog of my own, I will not be bringing my dog along for walks/housesitting (my husband is able to watch him at home). I also am in constant communication with the owner, when caring for their pet.
About: If you are looking for a trust worthy, animal loving pet sitter who loves to walk, please give me try! I am a retired, non-smoking, responsible pet sitter with references. When your pet stays with me in my home they will be treated like family with full range of the house. I want them to have the best and safest experience with me. I will take pictures and have my phone on at all times to communicate with you. Please rest easy knowing that I will take great care of your fur baby. I have been lucky enough to have parented two golden retrievers and many cats. Taking care of and walking more than one dog is not a problem! I live in a neighborhood with miles of sidewalks to safely walk dogs plus two large fenced dog parks for off leash fun and excersise. Having fostered pets for a shelter for many years, I am able to administer medications when needed. From young to senior I can handle housebroken pets of all ages with love. Medical records and up to date vaccinations are a must. I look forward to caring for your furry family members! I am retired so I can work with your pet's schedule. I love to walk and can take your pet out for long or short walks multiple times a day. I have a dog friendly home and live in a dog friendly neighborhood with two large dog parks and miles of sidewalks for safe excursions. Each dog park has separate areas for small and large dogs. Your pet's excersise schedule and diet will be followed!
“I needed someone to walk and feed my very energetic dog on short notice. Dave was very responsive, communicated well, and sent photos. I was worried my dog might be stressed being left alone all day, but when I returned, he seemed great! I would definitely recommend Dave and will use him again.”
About: Animals have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up caring for dogs, cats, hamsters, fish, and parakeets, and my mom bred and showed dogs, so I learned early how important patience, consistency, and attentive care are for every pet’s personality and needs. As an adult, I’ve primarily cared for cats and currently have a diabetic cat of my own. I’m very experienced with glucose testing and monitoring, administering insulin injections, recognizing and managing hypoglycemic events, and giving calm, compassionate care to pets with medical needs. Friends and family have trusted me to care for their pets because I’m dependable, observant, and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, senior, or requires extra attention, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m recently retired, so I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to provide attentive pet care. While I do travel occasionally, my trips are planned well in advance and I keep my calendar updated. I’m available for drop-in visits and house sitting, and I enjoy helping pets stay comfortable in their normal routine and environment while their owners are away. I only provide care in the client’s home because I believe many pets feel safest and least stressed in familiar surroundings. I take time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, feeding schedule, medications, and comfort needs so I can provide calm, reliable care while you’re away. I’m especially experienced with cats and pets requiring medical attention, including diabetic care, glucose monitoring, insulin injections, and recognizing signs of hypoglycemia. I treat every home respectfully and communicate regularly with updates and photos so owners can feel confident their pets are safe, comfortable, and well cared for.
About: I’m a lifelong dog lover who’s grown up with three or more pups at a time, so caring for multiple dogs—whether playful, shy, energetic, or timid—is something I thoroughly enjoy. I have experience with dogs of all ages and special needs, including senior, blind, deaf, and diabetic dogs. I’m comfortable feeding, bathing, walking, and providing each dog with the individual love, patience, and attention they deserve. Since I work part-time, I have plenty of time to hang out with pets during the day and throughout the week. I’m happy to walk dogs, feed and snuggle cats, and care for other pets however they need. I make sure every pet gets the attention and love they deserve, and I’m flexible about fitting their care around your schedule. I have a fenced-in yard where pets can safely play and explore, plus a quiet, walkable neighborhood perfect for walks. At home, I have three friendly dogs who visit occasionally, and two guinea pigs I care for daily, so I’m comfortable with a variety of animals. Whether in my home or yours, I prioritize safety and comfort to make sure every pet feels secure and happy.
About: Hi everyone! My name is Cammie and I am looking to help you with all your pet sitting needs. Whether it is a short walk during the work day or overnight care while on vacation, I am here to give as much love to your pets as you do! I currently work from home, so my workday is very flexible! Whether it’s short walks during the workday or longer visits on weekends, my schedule is highly adaptable. I follow the owner’s instructions when caring for their animals. By providing a safe and comfortable environment, pets can maintain familiarity with their surroundings and routines, just as their owners would.
About: I was a Mom of 3 dogs, so I understand how important it is to have someone you trust to take care of your pets. I currently work from home so that gives me the freedom to care for your pets. I can do morning, lunchtime and evening walks. I can do overnight stays. I will do a meet and greet to see what makes you and your pet comfortable. I will learn their schedule so I can keep them on their normal routine.
About: I bring over 10 years of hands-on experience in the pet care field, with a background that goes far beyond basic sitting or walking. I am licensed, insured, bonded, and background checked, and I also own and operate my own professional pet care business, which means I approach every booking with a high level of responsibility, professionalism, and accountability. My experience includes working in animal rescue and volunteering, where I cared for animals of all species, temperaments, and medical needs. I have extensive experience with puppies, senior pets, and special-needs animals, including those requiring medications, mobility support, or extra patience and structure. Through this work, I’ve developed a strong ability to read the body language and communication cues of different species, allowing me to understand when a pet is comfortable, stressed, anxious, or unwell. I pay close attention to subtle changes in behavior, appetite, energy, and routine, which helps me recognize early signs of illness or behavioral changes and communicate concerns clearly and promptly with pet parents. My background in rescue and professional pet care has taught me the importance of calm, consistent care , especially for pets who may not thrive in boarding environments. I am confident working with pets who need extra reassurance, individualized routines, or specialized care, and I always prioritize keeping pets comfortable and secure in their own home. My goal is to provide attentive, reliable care that allows pets to feel safe and understood while giving their owners complete peace of mind. Pet care is not something I fit around another job. It is my full time profession, and I have intentionally built my daily schedule around providing reliable, attentive care for my clients and their pets. Because this is my business, I am able to plan my days with flexibility and prioritize consistency, routine, and comfort for the animals in my care. I am deeply passionate about both my work and the peace of mind it provides to pet owners. Caring for other people’s pets is something I take seriously, and I treat every visit with the same level of attention and responsibility I would expect for my own animals. With advance notice, I am available 24 seven for scheduled care, including overnights, drop ins, and extended visits. I also offer emergency visits for established clients when unexpected situations arise, subject to availability. This added flexibility allows my clients to feel supported, even when plans change. My goal is to be a dependable, long term care provider that pet owners can trust to be there when they need it most. When caring for pets in their own homes, I treat each space with the same respect and responsibility I would expect from someone caring for my own. I understand that inviting a pet sitter into your home requires a high level of trust, and I take that responsibility seriously. I am licensed, insured, bonded, and background checked, and I also come with letters of reference that speak to my professionalism, reliability, and integrity. I am mindful of home security, privacy, and routines, and I follow all client instructions carefully. This includes locking up properly, respecting personal spaces, and maintaining a clean and orderly environment during every visit. My focus is always on keeping pets comfortable and stress free in familiar surroundings while ensuring their home remains safe and well cared for. Whether I am providing drop in visits or overnight care, I aim to create a calm, dependable presence that both pets and owners can feel confident about. My goal is to provide in home pet care that is not only attentive and compassionate for your pets, but also respectful, trustworthy, and professional within your home.
About: I have loved animals for as long as I can remember. I have owned a dog my entire life and have cared for my rabbit for over four years, so being around animals has always been a big part of my life. I understand how important it is to have someone reliable, patient, and caring looking after your pets while you are away. I recently graduated college and am currently searching for a full-time job, so I have a very open and flexible schedule. I am available most days for pet care and can work around your pet’s routine. I make sure each pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for in their own space. I follow their normal routine, give them attention, take them on walks, and always make sure they are secure before I leave.
About: I’ve had a dog or cat all of my life and the amount of joy they given is indescribable. I’ve watched my dogs numerous times on my own and well as my brothers dog who’s had diet complications for a while. I’m a current college student at the University of South Carolina so my schedule is fairly flexible and I’m able to work around my classes. I plan on having most of my weekends available to work. I generally let my dogs outside without a leash but I would never go outside with someone else’s dog without a leash on them. I’m comfortable putting a dog in a crate as my current roommate has a dog and I sometimes have to put her in a crate. I know some dogs have more energy than others and I am more than willing for o play with them until the get tired.

“Our experience with Colleen was truly outstanding! From the very beginning, she demonstrated a level of professionalism and care that immediately put us at ease. It was clear that her top priority was Storm's well-being and comfort. Colleen took the time to ask thoughtful, detailed questions to fully understand Storm’s needs and personality, which spoke volumes about her dedication. Her home is not only beautiful but also a calm and welcoming environment—Storm settled in with ease. We felt confident and reassured knowing our dog was in such attentive and loving hands. Colleen went above and beyond, and we couldn’t be more grateful. Highly recommend her to anyone seeking top-notch, compassionate care for their furry family member! Thank you so much!”

“I found Kelly in a moment of desperation when I needed a last minute sitter for my fur baby. Not only was she quick to respond but also came to meet my recent rescue before hand. I had never used a River sitter before and after meeting her in person and learning about her vet tech background I was confident she would take great care of my girl.

About: Hi, my name is Katie! 😊 I worked in a high stress telecommunications job for many years but my true passion is to walk, train, play with, and take excellent care of dogs. I absolutely love dogs and animals! If my husband and I are driving down the road and I see a dog without an owner, he automatically pulls the car over so I can attempt to rescue and find their owner! I am the extreme dog lover who carries an extra set of leashes, water bowl, and treats in our car just in case. I grew up taking care of and training a German Shepherd and Sheltie. I have owned/and or fostered a few Golden Retrievers, Border Collie, Black Lab, and a Rat Terrier/Red Heeler mix. I love high energy dogs, have strong arms to handle pulling dogs, and enjoy leash training and teaching basic commands. I have also taken care of farms and multiple kinds of farm animals. Our current fur baby is a 1 year old Golden Retriever. She truly has a heart of gold! 💛 I also love and am patient with senior dogs. I look forward to meeting you and your precious fur babies. I also have a heart for people in pain who can’t get outside with their dogs. I would love to help! I am available to take care of dogs. I can walk and take care of your fur babies. They can stay with me if they get along with other dogs and children. I always make sure to check water supply especially during the hot months! Sometimes pavement can be too hot for a dog’s paws, so would love to take your fur baby on adventures to local trails, beaches, and/or to dog parks. I understand each dog has different needs and want to treat your dog to the best of my ability, as well as, model how you take care of your own fur baby.
“My dog stayed with Jill for a few days over the 4th of July weekend. Jill could not have made it any easier or my dog more comfortable. She has a fenced back yard to allow the dogs to play! My dog hardly noticed when I left. Jill sends timely photos and is always quick to respond to messages. We've already booked our dog's second stay with Jill. Couldn't recommend her enough.”
“Sam was great yet again. My Pup had. Great time playing the other dogs. Sam was wonderful, accommodating and easy to work with as well as a great fit for my up. We will be working together again. Highly recommend.”
“Our dogs can be challenging and this was the first time they've ever been boarded. McCray did a great job taking care of them and giving them tons of attention...all during the holidays, which is not easy.”
About: I love dogs and up until 3 months ago I had a rescue dog for 8 years until she developed serious medical issuse and I had her euthanized. I miss here and she was spoiled and I will do the same for your dog. I will provide plenty of walks and a nice fenced in backyard where your pet can roam free to do whatever. I allowed my dog to have free roam of my house, and your pet will have the same freedom, and I have a nice porch where your pet can lay outside and enjoy the sights. I am 75 and a retired RN. I live alone so my schedule is very flexible, with the appropriate notification. I am an early riser so your pet will be let out back first thing in the morning, then - 2or 3 walks during the day. I have a fenced in backyard and a fenced in deck above the garage so your pet can be safe in either one of the locations.
