About: I’ve had dogs and cats all my life and genuinely love caring for animals. I’m patient, responsible, and attentive to each pet’s individual needs. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, giving pets plenty of attention, and keeping them safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I treat every pet like they’re my own and want them to feel happy, loved, and cared for. I work from home, so I’m able to give your pet plenty of attention and companionship throughout the day. I also have a dog and cat of my own, so I’m used to having pets around and keeping them happy and comfortable. I have a flexible schedule and can make time for walks, playtime, feeding, and lots of love and attention. 🐾❤️ I have a fenced yard where dogs can safely play, run around, and get some exercise. My cat is comfortable around dogs, and I also have a friendly dog of my own, so your pet can have some company if they’re comfortable with other animals. I’ll always make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while they’re with me. 🐾❤️
“Tessa did an amazing job checking in on our 3yo cat while we were away for a long weekend. She had great communication before the booking and during each visit with lots of pictures!. Our cat absolutely loved her and her visits. He is usually shy meeting new people so it says a lot about her personality that he immediately warmed up to her wanting company, playtime, and cuddles. We will definitely want to book Tessa again the next time we go out of town!”
“Bailey was so professional and so thoughtful. She took such good care of Bosco and even brought him treats. I would book her again in a heartbeat and would absolutely recommend her to other people.”

“Simran has been an absolute angel with my two cats while I’m out of the country. One of my cats has had health issues and she’s been able to get him out from under the bed and give him all his meds, make sure he’s feeling comfortable, and made sure my boys had a happy birthday celebration while I have been gone! She has also brought my cat to the vet and took time out of her day to do so, to make sure he is comfortable and getting the treatments he needs. I cannot thank her enough and because of her, I can go about my day knowing my boys are ok, and in great hands.”
“After our daughter moved, we lost our cat sitter so decided to try Rover. We chose Katharine to take care of our two boys for the week and could not be more pleased. She took the time with our socially awkward scaredy-cat whilel also giving our social butterfly the attention he needed. Thankfully, she also took the time to clean up messes they made along the way. Would definitely recommend Katharine!”
“I'm a nurse and work 12 hour days. When my wife left I hadn't planned ahead and knew as soon as I left our Rooi wasn't ready for extended times alone. I was able to set up a dog walk with Sarah the same day. I appreciated being kept in touch with and knowing how Rooi is doing. Sarah is reliable, friendly and I'm sure Rooi had a blast.”
“Ruby did a great job, she took care of my animals really well. The only thing I could say is, she does feel a bit robotic at times when conversing compared to other sitters I’ve had. (she might be a shy person I’m not sure) besides that she asked questions if things arise contacts you if there are concerns that regard you pet. You can tell she puts a lot of effort into taking care of animals so I’m thankful.”
About: I have had a dog or cat in my home since the day I was born! I offer loving care for your furry family members. Whether it's daily check-ins, overnight stays, or extended care, I can ensure your pets are happy, safe, and well-fed while you're away. Enjoy peace of mind knowing your pets are in good hands🐶🐱❤️ ❗️services are available on post as well❗️ I’m a nurse, so my work schedule can vary, but I’m very intentional about maintaining a dependable routine for the pets in my care. Outside of work, I have plenty of time and flexibility to provide consistent walks, feeding, playtime, and plenty of attention. I understand how important it is for pets to feel comfortable and stay on their normal routine, and I’m committed to making sure they receive reliable, loving care while you’re away. I prioritize your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine. I follow instructions carefully, keep pets secure and supervised, and maintain a clean, calm environment. I’ll communicate promptly about any concerns so you can feel confident your pet is safe, comfortable, and well cared for.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs/cats and many other animals old and young for most of my life. I have a very high passion for taking care of any animals! As an early graduate I have ample free time, so I will have plenty of time to love and care for your dogs/cats. I love going on walks and just sitting outside. So if your animal loves that I will gladly do that with them. If your animal loves to just chill and relax I love to do that as well. I can easily crate your dog if needed. I am also very good with reactive dogs/cats and know what to do in a situation if something were to happen. If your animal needs medication I can provide it with instructions! If your animal needs any special care or has any appointments I can care for them and take them to appointments.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Fort Riley is $18 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $32 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 217 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Fort Riley. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page.
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee, which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Fort Riley. On Rover:
- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
