About: I've been around animals for my whole life. I love to volunteer at humane societies, take dogs on walks, and have such a passion for animals. Being around animals brings me so much joy. I have always had a dog in my household before moving to college, and now I enjoy spending time with my roommate's cat or going to the humane society to take dogs on day trips with my roommates. I currently work a part-time job, but I have flexibility for drop-in visits and house sitting. I typically work afternoons, with the occasional morning shift, and I'm happy to coordinate my schedule to provide reliable care for your pets. I hope to provide a safe and clean environment that fits the needs of your pets. The happiness, safety, and comfort of your pet are my top priority. I know these aspects are crucial for our furry friends to have a great day and feel loved and cared for.
About: I have taken care of all kinds of animals, everything from turtles to goats, dogs to chickens! I’m flexible and willing to work with you however I can! I am a stay at home mom to 4 little ones. During the school year, 3 of them are gone most of the day. Other than nap time in the afternoon, I’m generally very flexible! I will always take great care of your animal and treat them like my own. I have 4 small children so any pet that would come to my home would have to be really good with kids. I’m happy to do pop in visits at your home if you are unsure about how they will do with kids. Being crate trained for night time is very beneficial!
About: I owned and cared for a variety of animals since childhood. Dogs are my fave but I like them all. I have an associate degree in animal science so I am comfortable with any medical care that might be required for their care as well. I have worked with obedience training and service dogs, though I never received credentials. I am a mom of 2 with a few part time jobs so my schedule is busy but flexible. Some weeks more availability than others. I can do walks, play time, snuggle time, whatever is needed to keep them happy and comfortable. I am able to administer meds etc. as needed.
About: Combined, my husband and I have 15 years of pet care experience! We love pups, and would love to get to know your fur baby! Our house is a clean and safe environment, with a dog door to the backyard available at all times. Whether your pup loves to play OR sleep, we will accommodate them! Our two pups (male, neutered, completely vaccinated) will be more than happy to play and lounge around with your pup(s). We are so excited to meet you! During the school year, we are both gone for ~ 6 hours a day Monday-Friday. During the summer, we are available all day every day! When a pup is boarding with us, we make sure to be at home as much as possible! We have a fenced yard, dog door 24/7, and two pups who will be ecstatic to spend time with your pet. We are able to crate your pet if needed, and will play as much or as little as they like! We are dedicated to creating a safe and comfortable environment for your pet. We do have a cat that keeps to herself and is either in our bedroom or outside. She is shy, so she very rarely comes out when a new pet or person is in the house. If your pet does not get along with other dogs, we are unfortunately not a fit for your pup! We hope to be a good fit for you and are so excited to get to know your pet!
About: I’ve been pet sitting since I was 10 years old and have years of hands-on experience caring for a wide range of animals. I’m especially comfortable with dogs of all ages, including senior pets who require extra attention and medical care. I have experience administering medications, including injections for diabetic dogs, and I’ve also cared for birds. What sets me apart is how much I genuinely love bonding with animals. I’m active and enjoy being outdoors, so your pets will get plenty of exercise, playtime, and attention. At the same time, I’m very attentive to their individual needs—whether that’s high energy activities or gentle, calm care for older pets. I’m also extremely responsible and respectful of your home. I’ve been trusted by friends, family, and neighbors for years to care for both their pets and their houses, and I always make sure to leave everything even better than I found it. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine! Right now, since it’s summer, I have lots of free time to dedicate to your pets. I rehearse for a show for only a few hours a day, which leaves me with plenty of time to provide consistent care, attention, walks, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. I’m available for morning, afternoon, and evening visits, and I can also accommodate overnight stays whenever needed. My schedule is very flexible outside of rehearsals, so I’m happy to adjust to meet your pet’s routine and specific needs. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I follow your pet’s routine closely—feeding, walks, and any special instructions you provide—to keep them happy and stress-free. I also ensure medications are given safely and on schedule when needed. I treat your home with care, keeping it clean, secure, and organized while you’re away. I provide plenty of playtime, walks, and attention, so pets feel happy, engaged, and cared for while you’re gone. I’m looking forward to meeting you and your pet and making sure they feel loved and well cared for!
“Debbie is the greatest! Our new dog who is scared of everything warmed right up to her! She sent us lots of pictures and made sure our girls were well taken care of.”
“Our experience with Eva was outstanding. She cared for our Yorkie, Copper, over four days, providing excellent care and attention to detail. Eva's communication was superb, with regular photo updates and texts that kept us fully informed throughout. She followed Copper's feeding and outdoor routines meticulously, which helped build trust between them. Within a couple of days, Copper felt at ease enough to sit with Eva on the couch, showcasing the bond they formed. Given Copper's unique personality, which demands trust on his terms, Eva's ability to win him over speaks volumes about her capabilities. We strongly recommend Eva for her services and anticipate booking her again when we go on vacation! Thank you, Eva!”
About: I am a caring, dependable, and attentive caregiver who truly enjoys spending time with animals. I create a calm and safe environment where pets can feel comfortable, loved, and well cared for. I understand how important trust is when leaving your pet with someone, and I treat every animal like part of my family. I have a flexible daily routine that allows me to give pets plenty of attention, supervision, and care throughout the day. I’m home most of the time, so your pet won’t be left alone for long periods. Caring for animals fits in naturally with my day—I enjoy including them in walks, playtime, and a calm home environment where they feel safe and loved. I care for pets by following their normal routine as closely as possible so they feel comfortable and stress-free. In my home, I provide a safe, clean, and calm environment with plenty of supervision, playtime, and affection. I make sure pets are fed on schedule, get regular potty breaks, exercise, and lots of attention throughout the day. In a client’s home, I respect your space and follow your specific instructions for feeding, walks, medication (if needed), and routines. I also make sure your pet feels secure in their familiar environment while keeping you updated with messages and photos. I provide this same safe, loving care for cats, making sure their litter boxes are clean and their routines are respected.
“I appreciate Pamela's flexibility when it comes to scheduling. We change plans multiple times and she worked it out so that she came to our house. We appreciate her and she is our regular sitter now. I added a puppy this year and she tends to bark at strangers but Pamela dealt with it and my pups were content while we were done all day.”
About: I’ve taken care of friends dogs for years , even transporting them to different states when needed. I live alone and am home by myself most of the time. I have a small fenced yard and wood floors and tile in most of my house. I would be happy and would prefer to meet your dog before I watch him or her. I door dash on my electric bike. It can go about 3 hours before needing a charge. I usually dash 2-3 hours in morning and 2-3 hours in the evening. If it rains I stay home I have a fenced yard , with a dog door from the inside to the yard. I keep water out all the time, but only feed according to the owners instructions

About: I adore all kinds of dogs! Among pet sitting for family members, I’ve had experience with different breeds of dogs while volunteering at the Cache Humane Society, and used to live with my family’s sweet pitbull/shepard mix who’s still my best bud even after I had to move out. I love engaging with different personalities from silly and energetic, to calm and relaxed. I’m currently working part time and have a flexible schedule so I can work with you and your pup! I’m especially free in the late afternoon and evening. It’s my goal to provide a fun and engaging play and walk time for your dog, giving them the exercise and stimulation that they need. I’m detail oriented and can handle any special needs that dogs may have when I drop in, and I’m accustomed to working with strong dogs during walks/playtime!

I'm a full time college student with classes 10:30-2 on Monday through Thursday, I have weekends off. So I can do morning and afternoons. I understand everyone is different and I really respect that. I know if you want your pet taken care of and treated a certain way I want to do that as much as possible

I currently hold a full time job but am looking to fill my free time with love from animals!! I am a hard working individual and love having things to do, so being able to make caring for my favorite beings on the planet a part time job for me is amazing! Currently taking care of 3 cats looks like daily litter cleaning, monitoring, and loving! I will take care of your pets how I take care of mine which is respect, love, and understanding!

About: I have always been surrounded with animals of all types and love taking care of them. I am currently working towards being an animal behavioralist and will pay close attention to what your pet needs. I am a student and a part time worker, but my main passion is taking care of animals. I will be unavailable Tuesday and Thursday from 12-2, but otherwise will be happy to see any animals. Unfortunately, I live in an apartment with my cat who is not very friendly so I am unable to bring your pet home. I am a very attentive caretaker and will spend as much time as they need together.
About: I can make home made treats and medicine for dogs. I can perform CPR on a dog and a cat. If necessary, i know how to restain both dogs and cats.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - River Heights
Absolutely fantastic people. I needed a last minute dogs sitter and Bree and Calvin responded within an hour of me leaving my request. Our poor dog got sick during the visit and made a mess in his kennel and they were so good to clean not only the kennel but the carpet also. 10/10
We couldn't have asked for better pet sitters! Cody and Amanda took such great care of our two dogs and our crested gecko while we were away. Both dogs get quite anxious when we are gone; it was such a relief knowing they were getting lots of love and were well cared for. We loved getting updates and pictures with each drop in visit. We'd definitely book with them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for caring and dependable pet sitters!

I can’t thank Brenna enough for her help. I had a last-minute family emergency and she stepped up immediately to care for my dog and two cats. She was incredibly reliable and professional throughout the entire stay. It’s a huge relief to find someone you can trust with multiple pets on such short notice. Everything went smoothly, and I will definitely be booking her again!
Jesi was so easy to communicate with and was so energetic! She made it so easy to work with. When you’re asking for someone to help with your furry friend you want to make sure you’re putting them into the right hands and I felt so at ease and confident when working with Jesi!

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 River Heights 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.
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 River Heights 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!
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 .

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in River Heights with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
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.
