About: I have been around pets my whole life! I have taken care of each and every pet I’ve had. I have always had either a dog or cat in my house. And each of my family members have had pets that I have been around as well. I also use to volunteer at a wildlife rehabilitation center, where I cared for injured animals. I have my own mini farm, where I have pigs, goats, chickens, ducks and turkeys! So if you need any of those types of animals cared for I can do that too! I have a very flexible schedule so I basically have the whole day to come take care of any pets! I have plenty of time to come and hang out with your furry family! I have four loving dogs that get outside all day long because I have so much time during the day and a very large fenced in backyard. We go on walks all the time! We can have a pet play date if your pet likes other dogs. If you need your pet needs to crated, I can do that. If they need soothing music put on, I can do that too!

About: Currently, I have been the mom to three senior dogs for 15+ years, so I understand their unique needs. I am willing to love and care for all types and age groups of animals, My husband and I own our own business, so I am flexible with my schedule and availability. I would just need a one day advance notice of your specific needs for pet sitting. At my home, I have a fenced yard for my three dogs. When they were younger and learning to potty train, we did crate train. I am willing to follow whatever instructions you have for the unique needs of your pet.

About: I always had a dog growing up so I am very familiar with dogs and the care they require. In high school I got my own puppy who I raised and trained by myself. In addition to this I have my own cat so I have experience with both cats and dogs. I’m home for the summer and have full availability! I can accommodate morning, afternoon, and evening visits, and I have plenty of time to give pets the attention, exercise, and care they need. I would like to care for each pet exactly as instructed by the client to ensure the pet is comfortable. If allowed by the client, I enjoy taking pets outdoors for walks, exercise, and fresh air whenever appropriate

“April did an amazing job with our two cats! They immediately opened up to her and let their personalities shine. She did a great job caring for the boys which included the last minute addition of eye medication which she handled with ease. We will not hesitate to reach out to her for our further pet sitting needs!”

About: As a veterinary assistant at a mixed-animal practice, I have hands-on experience caring for animals with a variety of needs. I have experience with dogs, cats, horses, reptiles, amphibians, chickens, sheep, goats, cattle, and some pigs. I’m comfortable administering medications, following specific care routines, and providing patient, attentive care. I’m always willing to learn and make sure every animal receives the care they need! I currently work Monday through Friday 8-5, so I’m available for pet care on weekends. I’m happy to coordinate visits around your pet’s needs and routine, and I’ll always communicate clearly about my availability! I’m occasionally available before and after work and I’m always available on holidays! Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities! I’ll follow your care instructions closely, maintain their usual routines, and make sure they’re safe and comfortable in their own home. I’m happy to arrange a meet-and-greet beforehand to go over their needs, medications, and any special instructions. I’ll also keep you updated during visits so you can have peace of mind while you’re away!

About: I have grown up around animals my entire life and have always had a strong love and respect for them. With years of personal experience caring for pets, I provide safe, reliable, and compassionate animal sitting. I treat every animal as if they were my own, making sure they feel comfortable, loved, and well cared for. I do currently work full time M-F but I am able to stay overnight as well as provide ample time with your babies in the afternoons when I get off. Ideally I would be a perfect fit for someone who needs care in the evenings and weekends! I provide a safe and welcoming environment in my home where pets can feel comfortable and cared for. I make sure they are always supervised, have a clean space, fresh water, regular feeding, and plenty of love and attention. Their safety and well-being are my top priority, and I do everything possible to make them feel at home. I have a very pet friendly neighborhood community with lots of open space for animals to get exercise and fresh air.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats since I was 5, growing up my street had so many chihuahuas. I will take care of your pets like they’re my own. Right now I’m in college so I’m doing this for a little extra money and for something to do. I would love this extra time to care and love your pets as if they are my own plus it would give me something to do. (I promise I have so much free time on my hands this would really help lol) I would keep your dog inside. We would do activities such as walking your dog at a park or around my house. You must bring your own dog/cat food.

About: I have taken care of animals for the majority of my life whether that be nursing stray kittens back to health, assembling special meals for my dogs specific health requirements, or pet and house sitting for friends and family members so they could take a well needed vacation. I have always held a deep love for animals and a career where I can be around them all day sounds more like a dream than a job. While not a certified dog trainer I do have experience with training puppies for small tricks such as sit, place, stay, down, etc. and would be happy to teach your fur baby as I take care of them. As a full time student I have a very open schedule with asynchronous classes that allow me to be there when your fur baby requires. I make sure to keep my pets on a regular schedule with grooming, food, vet visits and play sessions so they may have the best experiences as they grow and develope.

About: I am very reliable and have a very flexible schedule along with wanting to spend time with your pet! I can come and stay however long you need me to. Pet care gives me the opportunity to spend time outside along with being able to work on your schedule. You will never have to worry about me not showing up. I have a big yard that allows for a big space to run and play along with getting them outside on walks to see life outside their home.

About: I have experience in giving cats their medicine! Pills, ointments in the ear, and food! I also have experience in cleaning the litter box, changing a water machine, and giving cats baths! I am currently in school, and I am working part time! To take care your baby, I will stop by at least three times a day to feed, play, and snuggle! I have a pet at home as well! I prefer to take care of your pet at their house! I first, make their meal (as needed). While they are eating, I usually scoop the liter and do everything the owners have asked me to do in their home! Then, I give them treat or medicine (if applicable) and play with them for a while!

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Riegelwood

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of November 2026, there are 1,308 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Riegelwood. 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 Riegelwood. On Rover:

  • 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% 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.
