About: I started working with animals in a vet clinic at the age of 16. Since then I’ve worked with a variety of animals in different clinical settings. I am currently studying to become a veterinarian and love caring for animals. I have provided care for animals of all ages and would love to provide the reassurance you need while you are away from your pet! I’m currently working part time so I have plenty of time to check in on your kitties!! I am available on the weekends and weekdays after 12pm! I have an extra room perfectly curated for kitties!! This will keep your kitty separate and safe and in their own environment to relax while you are away!
“Camille was amazing with our dog today. She went out of her way to make sure he was well looked after and made sure we knew how he was all day. She has such a loving and kind personality and we won’t hesitate to have her take care of him again.”
“Laura was great! They met my pets before starting the job, were warm and asked questions about my cats. I received a lot of pictures of happy cats during my time away. Never once was I worried about my pets and it gave me such great peace of mind. I’ll definitely rebook with Laura.”
About: I’ve taken care of many different breeds of dogs all throughout high school. I take pride in my patience with both old and young dogs. I am a full time student at Utah State and am trying to have an extra source of income. With that being said, I am available almost everyday at anytime. I can do anything from take your pup on a walk, to taking care of them overnight. I am open to taking care of your pup by whatever rules you have set. I have had clients let their dogs sleep inside with me and others who wanted me to put them in their kennel.
“Ellaine responded very quickly and was able to come on short notice. She was great to work with in making a longer care plan for my kitty and I’m excited to have her come back! Thank you!”
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!
“We are so glad we chose Sadie to watch our cats! Our cats seemed to like her right from the meet and greet. She followed all our notes really well and left everything tidy and neat how we left it. The updates and photos made us feel like we had nothing to worry about while on vacation!”
About: I have had my dog for 5 years and really enjoyed raising and training her. Outside my home, I have helped friends and family with house-sitting, dog walking, and check-ins/potty breaks. I currently work part-time, so my schedule is quite open! I am available for services any time on weekends and on weekdays after 2 pm. I have a fenced back yard, and a gate at the front of my house, so your pet will be entirely secure! There is a patio and grass in the back, leaving space for zoomies. Inside is an open floor plan with space to play while being supervised and safe!
About: I've dedicated my life to caring for various beings, whether they're furry or human. From working with fosters from Rescue Rovers to raising my own pup, Gwenny, from a tiny furball, I've immersed myself in creating a safe, playful, and loving environment. With extensive experience in dog sitting, house-dog sitting, and caring for even huge dogs and high energy levels, I've consistently earned stellar reviews. My passion extends beyond pet care; I aspire to become a service animal trainer and am actively self-educating until I can pursue formal education. Your dog's well-being is my top priority, and I'll go above and beyond to provide them with the best treatment possible. Rest assured, your furry friend(s) will be loved and cared for just like they are a part of my own family. Im currently working part time and attending online school full time. Other than that, I have a few responsibilities I need to attend to (chores, family care, etc.) just like everyone else. No matter what I have planned, your pet will be the highlight! Unfortunately, since I moved, I can no longer pet sit or board at my home. However, I still have plenty of toys, treats, and tools to ensure your friend has a good time no matter where we are. I love a good game of tug-a-war or fetch! I will also play games and practice tricks. If they have a special diet they must stick to, please let me know.
“Jessalyn was so great with our cats! They can be a little shy, but they warmed up to her immediately. She kept them happy, healthy, and well cared for the entire time we were away. We couldn’t be happier!”
About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life! I’ve cared for dogs and cats, for years growing up and am also a Certified Veterinary Assistant. I love getting to know each pet’s unique personality and making sure they feel comfortable and loved while their owners are away. Whether that’s playtime, walks, cuddles, or medication if needed, I’ll care for your pets like they’re my own! My schedule is very flexible this summer, so I’m able to work around your pet’s routine and care needs. Whether that’s morning walks, midday check-ins, evening visits, or overnight care, I’m happy to help. I know how important consistency can be for pets, and I’ll do my best to make sure they feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away! I know how much trust it takes to leave your pets in someone else’s care, and I don’t take that lightly. As a Certified Veterinary Assistant, I’m comfortable giving medications, recognizing when something seems off, and making sure pets feel safe and comfortable. I love taking the time to get to know each pet’s personality, routine, and all the little things that make them unique. My goal is to make sure your pets are happy, loved, and well cared for while you’re away, and to give you peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands!

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - River Heights
Jessica always takes such great care of our boys! She was great with administering medications and following food/litter/play instructions. I can tell the cats feel relaxed around her from the photos, and she is always communicative. Great sitter to ease anxiety on any trips away!
We absolutely LOVE Julie as our preferred cat person. She was able to give our special needs cat her meds every night with ease and clean our cat boxes. Extremely dependable, kind and responsive. We've used her twice and would recommend her to anyone. Thank you!
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
I was supposed to have a friend feed my pets while I was out of town. When something came up and my friend could no longer help me, she accepted my short notice request and came over that same day to help me out! She spent pictures and updates and was super understanding about my worries with my cat’s recent health issues. Thank you Cynthia!
Sierra did a wonderful job looking after my cats! She always arrived right on time for her visits and kept me updated with plenty of great pictures, which gave me total peace of mind while I was away. She took excellent care of everything and left my cats happy and content. I highly recommend her services!
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!
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in River Heights on Rover is $16.35 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 414 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across River Heights. 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 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.
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.

- 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.
