About: I grew up around animals. I have taken care of my own dogs, cats, rabbits and fish throughout my life. I have also taken care of friends pets when they’ve gone out of town. I am comfortable with large and small dogs, cats, and caged animals. I’m currently working part time so I have plenty of time for your pets. I have a 4yr old who is comfortable around animals and I am available for boarding if your animal is comfortable with men, women, and children. I live on a quiet street in an apartment and look forward to walking with your dog at my home or yours. I am comfortable working with multiple kinds of collars and leashes.
“Camille was amazing!!! She took great care of our chihuahua while we were away. I never once had to worry about a thing as I knew my pup was in great hands! The photos that were sent to us were amazing and also gave us a sense of ease. Will definitely book with Camille again!!! 😄”
“Haley was fantastic with our two dogs! We were concerned about leaving them with someone they didn't know, but she really put our minds at ease. Of course, they loved her! We especially loved getting her photo text updates.”
“This was our first time using Rover.com and we were skeptical however Kayligh was amazing. Our dog and cat loved her and when we got back we couldn’t even tell she had been there. The house was how we left it. We will definitely be booking again. She also stayed an extra hour which was really nice, walked the dog, cuddled and played with our dog and sent us pictures. She also got back to us really quickly when we had questions which made us feel like she cared.”
“Connor took good care of our dog and sent photos of their time together. Due to an electric outage where we stayed at we were not able to get the photos till later. However it appears he took good care of our dog and our house was in good condition when we returned from vacation.”
About: I have taken care of both cats and dogs! I regularly babysit my boyfriends puppy and have a dog and 2 cats, and before that I had a golden retriever who unfortunately passed away from old age several years ago. I have also babysat my neighbors 2 dogs several times. I work from home managing my own business so my hours are very flexible, and I am available most days unless I have a previous commitment. I do not currently offer pet sitting at my home, but when in your home I will take every precaution to keep your pet safe and make sure they feel loved and are having fun!
About: Animals have been a big part of my life for as long as I can remember! I’ve grown up around both dogs and cats and have experience caring for my own pets as well as my family’s pets. I’ve helped with everyday care including feeding, providing fresh water, potty breaks, keeping them comfortable, and of course, giving them plenty of love, attention, and playtime. I genuinely love animals and take pride in creating a safe, happy, and comfortable environment for every pet I care for. I’m responsible, attentive, patient, and always happy to learn about each pet’s unique personality, routine, and individual needs. Whether your pet loves going for walks, playing, cuddling, or simply relaxing by your side, I’m excited to give them the care and attention they deserve! I look forward to continuing to grow my knowledge and experience while making sure every pet feels loved, safe, and right at home. 🐾❤️ I just got a new full time job Monday-Friday 2-11 PM I’ll be working 8 hour evenings. I’ll be happy to work around our schedules. My mom is allergic to most pets so I provide in-home pet care services. When I care for pets in their own home, I follow the specific instructions provided by the pet owners. This includes feeding them, giving them fresh water, taking them for walks, and providing playtime and companionship. I also ensure that their living space is clean and tidy. The goal is to make the pets feel comfortable and loved while their owners are away.
About: I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life especially bigger dogs like German shepherds. But I recently got a black lab golden mix and would love to bring him over for a puppy play date:) I’m currently working full time but I can make a visit either before or after I get out to play with your pets and make sure they get the care they need! It would definitely brighten up my day as well before going in and give me something to look forward to after:) I have a friendly golden lab mix to help keep your fur babies company if you would like. He loves to play and is such a sweetheart
About: I had a cat for 20 years and cage aninals when i was young. I have owned a dog with anxiety so patience was key. He needed Medication for that and his hips. I own two cats and a hedgehog. My cats come to a whistle, know how to sit and lay down, go to their blanket where ever it is. My older cat is great in the car and the younger cat I am currently training. I cut their nails and bathe them myself. Both are leash trained. I handle my hedgehog daily so that he is well socialized. My cats never bothered the rats or the hedgehog when let out of the cages. They would sleep woth the dog when no one was home. I work 12 hour over night shifts for my regular job. I am looking for day time and, when off night time or overnight opertunities to fit my shifting schedule. I work in Macedon and live in West Henrietta so I am flexible with locations. I am a quiet private person. I have two cats and a hedgehog. I previously owned rats, a dog, leopard gecko, and other caged animals Cages, boxes, bowls and, other cage items are cleaned daily as well as deep cleaning every 4 to 5 days or as needed. I enjoyed taking the dog as well as my cat for a walk! I have patience with animals with anxiety. I walk or handle pets that friends have such as snakes and birds.
“Sarah was very communicative and reliable during her stay. She took my dog to the vet when a new issue arose and managed his medication and care. She is thorough and thoughtful. I definitely recommend Sarah!”
“Ranait was an incredible house sitter for my shy and nervous dog! She had last minute available to help us out in a pinch and was so thoughtful in her communications and updates. She took excellent care of the house and most importantly, my furbaby. We’d use Ranait again in a heartbeat!”
“Kylie came to our house to stay with Walter for a couple of days while we went out of town. She kept us up to date with texts and pictures, and the house was clean and tidy when we got home! I highly recommend using Kylie ☺️”
About: I have taken care of pets since I was in middle school. I have house sat and neighbors, family and friends have relied on me to walk, feed and bathe their pets regularly throughout the school year. I am currently working part time, and doing remote schooling but other than that I have plenty of time to play with and spend time with your animals! I have a whole apartment to myself and two friendly cats to keep your fur babies company when I am not home. I can easily crate your dog if needed.
About: I would love to take care of your pet. I have a lot of experience with cats and dog sitting. I love walking and playing with them very much. I understand their needs and treat them best I can based on their character. I genuinely love any animal I see and very happy and excited to be around them. I am very responsible person, and you can be sure that I will follow any instructions given. I can play, run, or just pet, cuddle with your dog/cat in a caring atmosphere, depending on his/her character. I will be happy to become a new friend to your pet! I am working from home right now and have pretty flexible schedule. Your pet will be with me most of the time, occasionally when I need to go to the store I may leave for an hour maximum. I have plenty of area to walk around with your dog as well as a few parks around if they are more active and love long walks.
“Hi highly recommend Becca, she's very personable and she had to end up staying a little longer than we expected and she had no problem accommodating us, and most importantly my 2 dogs loved her,”

The average cost of House Sitting in Riga is $89 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $89 and $111 per night.

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Riga walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Riga maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Riga choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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 , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
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 .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
