There are many reasons why hiring a pet sitter can be beneficial for both you and your furry friend. Firstly, a pet sitter can provide companionship and socialization for your pet while you are away. This can help reduce their anxiety and stress levels, especially if they are prone to separation anxiety. Additionally, a pet sitter can ensure that your pet is well-fed, hydrated, and has access to clean water and litter boxes. They can also administer any necessary medications or treatments your pet may require.

Furthermore, hiring a pet sitter can give you peace of mind knowing that your pet is being well-cared for while you are away. You won’t have to worry about them being alone and potentially getting into mischief or becoming distressed. In case of any emergencies, a good pet sitter will also be trained to handle them.

Lastly, having a pet sitter can also make things more convenient for you. You won’t have to worry about dropping off or picking up your pet from a boarding facility or asking friends and family for favors. Instead, you can enjoy your time away knowing that your pet is in loving, caring hands. 

That’s a great question! I have a passion for animals and enjoy spending time with them. After 8 years of homeschooling and 18 years as a stay at home mom, the time had come for me to enter the workforce. I saw a need in my  community for reliable and trustworthy pet care services. Starting Riverside Pet Services as a local mom has been such a rewarding and fulfilling experience, both personally and professionally. I have met so many wonderful neighbors and gotten to know them and their families (including furry family members and friends!)  I consider it such an honor to be trusted to care for their pets and their homes.  It is not a responsibility I take lightly. 

There are many benefits to being a pet sitter! First and foremost, I get to spend my days with animals, which is a joy!  I get to develop relationships with pets and their owners and help to ensure that the pets are happy and healthy while their owners are away. Being a pet sitter and small business owner is a fulfilling and rewarding career. I am providing an important service to pet owners and ensuring that pets receive the love and care they need to thrive.

Life is busy!! Many of my clients before I met them had stopped traveling or doing activities they love because they love their animals and don’t trust anyone to care for them while they are away or when life gets busy.

Owning a pet should not stop you from traveling or doing fun activities. However, it is important to make sure that your furry friend is well taken care of while you’re away. If you are unable to travel with your pet find a trusted pet sitter to care for them while you’re gone. It’s all about finding a balance and ensuring that your pet’s needs are met while still enjoying your own hobbies and interests. Ultimately, owning a pet is a responsibility, but it shouldn’t stop you from experiencing new adventures and making unforgettable memories. Let us help! We make it fun for your pet and make sure they are having their own “stay-cation” while you are away.

First, we have no judgment for pet parents who have used boarding facilities! However, boarding an animal can be stressful for a variety of reasons. For one, pets can experience separation anxiety when they are away from their owners and in an unfamiliar environment. This anxiety can manifest itself in a variety of ways, such as destructive behavior, excessive barking or meowing, or even refusal to eat or drink. At the end of the day boarding facilities- even sitters’ homes, are unfamiliar. We believe pets are most comfortable in their own homes. So, we come to their space! This creates the safest, most pleasant experience for all!

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!

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!
