“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!”

“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 been a passion of mine for as long as I can remember and are my biggest special interest. I grew up taking care of a multitude of different pets including cats, dogs, and birds…I love them all! I make sure to stay up to date with new pet care and training ideas. I believe in using positive reinforcement to build strong and healthy relationships with our pets and have taken courses in dog body language and have familiarized myself with Canine and Feline CPR and heimlich maneuver. I can’t wait to meet your furry family member! I generally work in shifts of 4-5 hours so the longest your pet will ever need to be left by themselves is 5 1/2 hours My husband is a student and the university and can also help take care of pets if needed/wanted. I have a friendly 2 year old golden retriever who would love to keep your dog company if wanted otherwise I’m happy to visit your dog by myself. I can crate train or let your dog free roam, whichever you are most comfortable with

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: For the past few years I have been working and training dogs, I have about two years of experience, I know how to train for loose or slack leash, (dog close to side while you walk) heel, and sit. I also know more obedience training if you happen to be interested. I currently in college, but my schedule is flexible. I can work with whatever time you or your furry companion may need, just let me know. Please note, I do offer same day booking, and I’m free most days, but sometimes school and life can be a bit unpredictable. If a same day booking doesn’t work out, I’d still love to work with you in the future. I have years of experience, with walking and doing basic training with dogs of all sizes, ages and needs, and I know my way around Logan as well. I can ensure you, that your pup will always be given the same level of care that you give it, and it’ll never be taken to an unsafe area, on our walks. I know it can be scary to have a stranger take care of your pet, so if you have any questions, feel free to reach out to me at any time.
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.
“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!”

“Andree was great. Very punctual, and managed an ol' grinchy dog that takes a little time to warm up to new folks. Misty seemed very happy with her visits, the pictures and videos were cute and comforting. Definitely highly recommend.”

“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: My family had a dog from the time I was a baby; my parents made sure I not only helped by playing with him, but walking, feeding, and grooming him, too. Later we had a cat and another dog. The cat was mine, so litterbox duty was always on me. So I have years of experience living with and taking care of cats and dogs, and I would LOVE the opportunity to show your fur baby some good old fashioned TLC! I do gig work for a living, so my schedule is super flexible, especially if you give me prior notice! I do not work on Sundays and Thursdays, unless it's an extended-stay situation. I can come to your home, where your fur baby is the most comfortable, and make sure they have the company, attention, and care they need when you're gone.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - River Heights
I was really worried about my cats being alone while I was getting married and on my honeymoon out of town. Kati came over to meet my cats a few days before we left and allowed me to show her around and how to care for them. She did a wonderful job taking care of them. One of my cats is very skittish and doesn’t do well with new people. Every visit she included a picture of them which helped put my anxiety at ease while so far away, My skittish cat was clearly comfortable with her even coming out to play and get groomed. She even cut their nails and brushed them for me. Kati was a wonderful pet sitter, I 10/10 recommend her and will definitely use her again.

Amanda and Cody always do an awesome job! I've booked them for drop-in visits many times, and they've been willing to help when something unexpected comes up, like making an extra trip to check on the kitty for us when we were worried that a summer power outage might have turned off the air conditioner. I feel lucky to have such a helpful and trustworthy sitter nearby!
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
Marissa took wonderful care of our dogs while we were away! She went above and beyond by spending extra time with them, taking them on a walk, and making sure they received plenty of attention. She also cleaned up their potty accidents without complaint, which we really appreciated. It gave us peace of mind knowing our dogs were in such good hands. We came home to happy, well-cared-for pups.

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!

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.

We strongly recommend Eva for her services and anticipate booking her again when we go on vacation! Thank you, Eva!

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 of Pet Sitting in River Heights is $17 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $9 and $28 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 405 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across River Heights. 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 River Heights. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% 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.
