Who We Are

About Us....

We are Riverside Pet Services LLC. Founded by Stacy Gumbus, a Jupiter local and homeschool mom, RPS was created out of a love for pets and a desire to help fellow pet owners. Understanding how challenging it can be to find reliable pet care while traveling or managing a busy life, Riverside Pet Services was born in 2021.

We started by helping out neighbors—because as a homeschool family, we were always home! Before long, demand grew, and we decided to expand and create the best team around! Today, we proudly serve the Jupiter, Tequesta, Juno, Hobe Sound and Palm Beach Gardens areas. We are fully licensed, bonded, and insured, and our team is certified in pet first aid and CPR. All of our pet sitters are either Certified Pet Sitters or actively working toward certification.

At Riverside Pet Services, we treat your pets like family. Whether you’re away or simply need an extra hand, we ensure your furry friends are cared for with love and professionalism.

Call or text us to schedule your service and relax, knowing your pets are in the best hands!

Client reviews

I feel so lucky to have met Stacy and Riverside Pet Services! Zoe is happier, healthier, and always looks forward to her afternoon walks!  It helps me feel better when we are out of town, or the days just get too busy!   Stacy and her team are so incredible!

Casey S.

Riverside Pet Services are the best!! I would highly recommend!

Shannon F.

Would absolutely recommend Riverside Pet Services to anyone needing a pet sitter that would love their pet to have love and attention. We recently had Stacy watch our sweet Kona (English Mastiff) while away for a few days. Kona got all the attention she needed and we felt comfortable welcoming her into our home where Kona stayed safe and healthy. Our pup is on some medications and Stacy had no problem administering her daily meds to keep her comfortable while we were gone. Stacy will always be our first call when Kona needs watched again!

Now I know my babies are in loving, caring and competent hands when I leave them with Stacey & Jim and I can’t put a price on that. Endless Gratitude and Respect!

In addition, Stacey & Jim obviously really love animals, as is made abundantly evident by the way my guys run to them to say hello when we spot them on the street 🥰 and the photos they send me. Yeah, this makes me feel great.

Stacey & Jim are not only pros but they have enthusiastically embraced my pack, whether at a moment’s notice or for long vacations, allowing me such peace of mind that I’ve never had before with other sitters. I used to come home to one fat and two starving dogs, a mucked up house in disarray, a green pool and other signs of neglect – but now it’s like returning to a peaceful oasis 🙂

Not just anyone can walk an English pointer, let alone THREE! Rabbits, mourning doves and lizards require a pointer walker to be on their toes at all times!

I have three English pointers and have gone through numerous dog walkers and sitters. That is, until I met Stacey & Jim and was saved!
