“Although I was not able to meet Daniel in person, he was very communicative and responsive. Being new to the platform, he was very understanding and worked with me to make sure my experience was as smooth and easy as possible. I came home to a happy healthy pup so I knew he took very good care of her while I was gone!”
“Suzi is a remarkable communicator. She shares wonderful pictures and made us feel connected and confident in our dogs wellbeing while we were away. She genuinely cares about making the pets feel cherished, Bodhi told me so!! ? I appreciated her flexibility with some additional requests for feeding the Gecko. She is diligent, smart, timely, and heartcentered.”
“Sofia was absolutely fantastic- during our initial meeting, her first impression was so lovely and kind and the cats were completely drawn to her. She went above and beyond brushing them and cleaning up messes. We will definitely be calling her to care for them again.”
“Yolanda was amazing with our three high energy dogs! When we first met her and her husband, we could tell right away they were great people and our dogs took right to them. Even our dog that is sometimes shy around new people seemed completely at ease with them. She was available on short notice and took lots of great photos of the first visit. Our dogs looked very happy and relaxed. We would definitely recommend Yolanda!”
“Angela took wonderful care of Elliott during her twice-daily visits. She showed tremendous patience with him and let him warm up to her at his own pace. By her final visit, he allowed her to pet him and take him into the yard—a big accomplishment! She also thoughtfully handled a few extra details around the house. I truly appreciated her reliable and compassionate care. I highly recommend.”
“Jan was great!! Super friendly- sent me pictures of Milo. I will definitely schedule again with her and recommend her to anyone looking for a cat sitter! Thanks:)”
About: I pet it all of my phones and families dogs whether it’s from short visits to letting the dogs outside to go potty or overnight stays. I have been doing this for over two years now, but it’s been a lot more frequent over the past two years. I have always loved dogs. In fact I have two big dogs one purebred German Shepherd and the other dog is a great Pyrenees mix. I am working with Rover now because I’m trying to be able to afford an apartment for myself and just take care of my basic necessities. I know how well I will want my dogs taken care of if I needed a sitter so I try to provide that same care to my clients! I can usually make any time work as best for you. I don’t have a full-time job. It should be my primary job right now. I can do anything you need me to do. Feeding the dogs, letting them out to go potty, taking them to play, taking them on a walk, etc.
“Anna was responsible and great with my dog! She consistently provided updates and photos, which were reassuring. I would highly recommend Anna, and I will definitely use her in the future!”
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and have years of hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I’ve frequently pet sat for neighbors, family friends, and people through word of mouth, helping with feeding, walks, playtime, medications, overnight care, litter boxes, and keeping pets comfortable while their owners are away. I’m very patient, attentive, and reliable, and I genuinely love spending time with animals. I recently joined this app to connect with more pet owners and continue doing something I’ve always enjoyed! I usually work out early in the morning around 7:30, so the rest of my day is very open and flexible for pet care. I’m able to fit walks, drop-ins, feeding schedules, playtime, very easily into my routine. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, so caring for pets never feels like a chore to me. I’m very reliable with communication and making sure pets stay on their normal routines while their owners are away. I have experience caring for dogs with very different personalities and needs. I currently help take care of my own dog at home, who stays in a fenced-in yard, and I also frequently help with my best friend’s and girlfriend’s dogs as well. Since they’re all different breeds and temperaments, I’m used to adjusting care depending on the dog, whether that means high-energy play, extra patience, sticking to strict routines, or making them feel comfortable in new environments. I always prioritize safety, attention, and making pets feel relaxed and cared for.
“Dyana is the person we regularly contact to look in our dogs when we are gone for the day. She is always reliable and trustworthy. We're so glad to have someone we feel comfortable with! ”
About: I have been passionate about animals, big and small, my entire life! I have volunteered at humane societies, fostered animals in need, cared for the pets of family members and friends, interned at AZA-accredited zoos, and worked at wildlife sanctuaries. Currently I am a full-time licensed wildlife rehabilitator caring for injured and orphaned Wisconsin wildlife with the goal of releasing them back into the wild, but I have previously worked with a variety of domestic animals both in my personal and in my professional life. I am well versed in animal behavior, body language, and positive reinforcement. I promise to treat (and spoil) your pets like they are my own! At the moment I have 3 sweet cats, a high-energy dog, a mischievous chinchilla, and a gentleman of a ball python! Please do not hesitate to reach out and get to know me more! I currently work 4 days of the week at my full time job so I am only available select days. I am eager to spend time with your pets, however, so if my schedule shows I am unavailable, please reach out anyway as I try to be as flexible as possible! It is extremely important to me to use Fear Free tactics when interacting with any animal. Gaining the trust of you and your pet are my top priority!
About: I provide attentive, compassionate, and reliable care for dogs of all breeds and sizes. I specialize in creating a safe, comfortable environment—whether in your home or mine—ensuring pets receive plenty of exercise, affection, and individualized attention. With strong communication skills and a genuine love for animals, I keep pet parents updated and at ease throughout every stay. Whether it’s daily walks, overnight stays, or special care routines, I’m committed to treating every dog like family. I have a flexible work schedule so I’m able to provide breaks and attention as needed throughout the day. I am able to attend to your pet as needed. I have a large back yard that the dogs can play in. I also have the Oak Leaf trail next to my house we can go on frequent walks!
“Teanna was great! We needed a last minute sitter and she was very flexible with a meet and greet and coming to feed and water our cats. She was also very understanding when I had reception issues when trying to reply to messages. My cats were well cared for, and I would book Teanna again if I ever have the need. Thank you so much! ?”

Late nights if need as well!. I have a flex schedule, so with notice, I can make it happen when you need! I have 2 dogs with a backyard. They love playing together.

We were visiting from out of town and needed a dog sitter while we were gone for many hours at a wedding. Lenys was so nice. She came by in the morning to meet us and our dog. Then, she came over in the evening to walk him, play with him, and give him food. We especially loved the photos. Thank you, Lenys! We will definitely hire you again when we are back in town.
Sofia was absolutely fantastic- during our initial meeting, her first impression was so lovely and kind and the cats were completely drawn to her. She went above and beyond brushing them and cleaning up messes. We will definitely be calling her to care for them again.
This was our first time having Becky check in on our shy cat. Becky came when promised, followed all of my (overly obsessive) directions to a "T", and managed to cajole Sophie into coming out and interacting with her. Sophie and our home were in great hands, and we would definitely use Becky again.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in River Hills on Rover is $22.2 per visit (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 2,117 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across River Hills. 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 Hills 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 River Hills. On Rover:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% 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 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.
