Paige has been wonderful with our two unique dogs! One is high energy and wild and our other dog is an elderly sleepy guy and they both have been well taken care of and happy with their daily visits. She is communicative and trustworthy!

Brianna is a wonderful pet sitter! She has been to us numerous times and has administered insulin to our diabetic cat as well as looked after our other cat. She leaves detail summaries and photos which are always a comfort to see. I had a family emergency and requested her to come with only a few hours notice! She responded very quickly and it gave me peace to know our diabetic cat would be cared for. I highly recommend Brianna💚

Rachel is a wonderful cat sitter! My cats were very happy and well taken care of, and even Bella, who is very shy around new people, warmed up to her. Rachel was also very easy to talk to and sent daily updates.

Gracie has gone above and beyond for my dog Beckley. She is very committed to making sure that my timid little girl is fear-free and unstressed. I highly recommend Gracie and am looking forward to working with her in the future to ensure my dog has the best experiences with her knowledge of training and compassion for animals.

About: I am a veterinarian who has dedicated her life to caring for animals. I have worked with animals from a young age, including many hours working in vet offices in high school leading up to college and vet school (became a licensed vet in 2020). I am quite comfortable with caring for animals who need medications administered, or more intense levels of care while their owners are away. Working with animals brings me joy and peace, and making sure they are happy and well cared for is my life mission. I believe in fear free handling, and I am happy to work with animals who do not trust unknown people. I am a licensed veterinarian but I am currently in grad school so I am very flexible. I can be home all day if needed, and can provide close supervision. I have a 3 year old female German Shepherd (very friendly!) and cats (mostly outdoor). I have the ability to keep my dog separate if needed but she loves playing with other dogs! I have a full sized truck and the ability to transport animals with me safely. I have 2.5 acres of fenced land for dogs to run and play as well as a small fenced in section adjacent to the house. A pet door offers come and go access to the house. I am free to drop in during the week or board animals for extended periods, and if your animal needs medications administered as part of their care I am very capable. I am comfortable handling large dogs (I have a lot of practice in my line of work as a veterinarian). I am also comfortable with young animals, cats, older animals, and any animal requiring high levels of care.

About: When you book with me, you’re not just getting a pet sitter—you’re getting someone who shows up, follows through, and genuinely enjoys what they do. I keep things consistent for your pets (same routines, same care, same attention), so they stay happy and relaxed while you’re away. Expect quick replies, regular updates, and zero wondering how things are going. My calendar fills up quickly because my pet families know I’m dependable and easy to work with. If you want someone professional, trustworthy, and fun for your pets to hang out with, I’ve got you covered! Simply put, I prioritize my furry friends. My schedule allows me to have flexible breaks throughout the day, so your pets aren’t left waiting long stretches for attention. Whether it’s potty breaks, walks, playtime, or just a quick check-in, I’m able to show up when your pet needs it—not just morning and night. Safety first! I always have a care plan that I follow intentionally to provide a quality experience for your pets. I keep things professional and dependable from start to finish—quick responses, regular updates, and a routine your pet can count on. Most of the families I work with are repeat clients because once they see how smooth and reliable the experience is, they don’t want to book anyone else.

About: I have plenty of pet care experience from my own pets and taking care of other pets as well. My experience ranges from dogs all the way to fish so I can take it all. I currently work at Kroger, but I’m looking to have some extra money so I can plan to start moving out. My work days are outlined on the calendar. I have a dog of my own who I care for along with my family. For client homes it will depend on the service but I will do my best to care for your pet as best as possible.

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Riner

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of July 2026, there are 544 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Riner. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Riner stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.

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 Riner. On Rover:

  • 97% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 97% 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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.

Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.

Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
