“Kerstin was amazing, she pet sit for us over night for a course of 5 nights. She was extremely cleanly and even went above and beyond. The pets loved her and she treated them well and took amazing care of them”
About: I have grown up with dogs all my life, but currently, am a mom to 3 of them, so I know a thing or two… from >5 lbs to 100… I got you! I’ve been dog sitting for others for almost 5 years now, and actually just spent the last few months volunteering at a local Vet’s office… so I know doggy CPR now if needed! Call/message me and I can be there ASAP! Monday, Tuesday, whenever, I got you ! I’m sure we can work something out !! 🩷 🐾 I don’t offer services in my home, since my dogs are veeeery jealous when another is around to steal all the back scratches and belly rubs, but I can guarantee that they don’t mind when i get out of the house for a few hours 🤣 In your home, I promise to provide a nurturing environment, with the same structure and routine you’d force if you were there. Whether it’s overnight or two weeks, I’ll love on your animals like they’re my own!
“David did a great job with providing updates and photos of OB while he dog and house sat for us while we were on a trip. OB seemed to love his time with David and that makes us want to use him again when we go out of town and can’t take him with us.”
“Sandy was awesome with my 12 y/o toothless lady. Made sure she got her food. Have her some loving. Also before she joined Rover she took care of my cats for 3 wks when I had a family emergency. She is amazing and caring and will care for your pets as her own. Book her today!”
About: I have a pet named molly! She’s a sweet cat that I’ve owned since I was a child! I also have done dog walks for a family. I’ve also pet sit for two cats and did daily drop ins! I enjoy spending time with animals and I’m so grateful to have the opportunity to take care of yours:) I can take your dogs on walk, check in on them, play with them, feed them and more! I go to classes twice a week, Tuesdays and Thursdays at 11am.I have the rest of the day available for you! Your pet’s safety and your peace of mind are my top priorities. Before entering or leaving, I ensure all entryways are secure so no pets can slip out. During walks, I use a secure, double-checked leash attachment and maintain absolute awareness of our surroundings, avoiding interactions with unknown dogs or hazards.
“Camila was great, our pets can be difficult, Jett is afraid of thunderstorms and Camila handled them well. We came home to happy pets and a clean house. She kept in contact the whole time with updates and pictures.”
“Chudleigh and I adore Gemar. He shows up on time even 10 minutes before his time scheduled. He is very reliable. He stayed at my house for an overnight. I feel very comfortable with Gemar and I would recommend him to anyone.”
“Our dog Kelsey has a new best buddy. Tracy did a wonderful job with our high energy German Shorthaired Pointer. Fortunately, Tracy has just about as much energy as Kelsey. We'll definitely use her again and recommend her highly.”
“Nabilah has sat for 2x now each time she is 100% on task with Cassidy informative, followed all directions to assist with Cassidy’s schedule and medication needs, we are always confident that Cassidy will be in great hands with Nabilah!!!!! Thank you against Jean”
About: My 14 y.o. Japanese Chin/Pekinese is in heaven now I and cared for him since he was a puppy. I trained him using the methods of "The Dog Whisperer". I also learned how to do dog massage from Linda Tellington, author of TTouch Training. I've also cared for chickens, pigs and rabbits. I prefer small dogs, as they are easier to care for in many ways, and I enjoy having them sit on my lap and sleep with me. I am very sensitive to the needs of animals and am able to understand the body language of them. I will care and love your pet like it's my own. Try me! I'm retired and can care for your pet anytime at your house. I don't do boarding as I have a roommate that has a pet and would involve her approval. I spend time playing, walking and chilling with your pet. I like to give treats and have them sleep with me if you permit it.
About: I’ve always taken care of pets and have α special place in my heart. These babies aren’t able to talk and I love to be able to understand them even if they can’t say much. Ive volunteered at shelters for doggy days out multiple times and taken care of the babies that don’t have α home yet. I have pets on my own. I know how to play and entertain I know how to take care of senior pets! And know how to get one to trust me I am a creature of habit, and I make sure your pet’s feeding, walking, and medication schedules are treated with absolute consistency ( not only do I want to do this to help your pets but to also better mental health! Pets bring α happiness to me.) In your own home I will provide you with frequent updates of your pup. Plenty of videos and photos. Calls or texts, how ever you’d like. I will adjust to your baby! And let them know I’m no enemy to them. They also need patience. And just learn their likings. If they like space or would love to cuddle. If they’re active or just α laid back baby!
About: I raised my now 3 year old baby from 2 weeks old and also my childhood senior dog. I know how to care for any dog in any life stage! I work part time so most afternoons and weekends are fully available! Taking care of animals is my normal and I would love for yours to be included I have a fenced in yard with plenty of running space, crates and inside beds and play pens for pups at the house and I also have experience pet sitting/house sitting in clients homes
About: I have a Bachelor’s degree in Animal Studies and full-time experience in providing animal husbandry care for both exotic and domestic animals. Additionally, I have college-level and experience-gained knowledge of dog behavior and animal care. I am currently a wildlife keeper for a sanctuary and was previously a Rover and Canine Coach at a dog daycare. I have experience handling, walking, and bathing dogs of all sizes. Please book with me a few days in advance of your desired appointment! I am available Mondays and Tuesdays and occasionally Sunday nights! I am currently working full time and would love to fit in dog walks and pet care into my schedule!

I am unable to care for pets within my own home but can care for your pet within your home. I have experience in crating and kenneling dogs, providing food and water, and safely handling dogs. I also have college-level and experience-gained knowledge of dog behavior to ensure that your animal is safe and happy!
About: I’ve always had a special love for animals and caring for them since I was a kid. From birds, to bunnies, and now cats and dogs, I now have a good knowledge on what each animal needs. I’ve also had experience in caring for kittens, puppies, and nursing pets back to health in the past. Patience and care is very important in this field, as well as staying in contact with pet parents at every hour is something I know and value. I am currently enrolled in college, so my availability varies from semester to semester, however I am sure to update it when necessary. I like being active and going to the gym so dog walking is something I love, as well as during the day being at home and sometimes cooking/baking. Reading and going to the beach is one of my favorite hobbies, so doing small and safe day trips is also something I am open to. For pet care at clients’ homes, pet parents can trust that I will pay good attention and care for their pets by paying attention to their habits, feeding/grooming them at times, and even bathing if necessary. I always make sure that if going out is necessary, their collars and leashes are safely secured as to not cause any mishaps. If pet parents have a routine they wish me to follow, I am very open to doing that as well. In my own home, I live with a younger sibling and my parents but they all love pets and care for them as well. Unfortunately pets aren’t allowed on my homes furniture or beds, so if they have a bed or any other furniture they wish to bring that is okay. I have a securely fenced yard, and pets are always supervised when going outside. My neighborhood is very pet friendly and safe, so I hope pet parents feel more comfort when dropping off pets at my home.
“Chaste was wonderful! She came over several times a day, like we requested and let our doggies out. We have cameras everywhere and we could see her playing fetch with our doggies, loving on them and making sure they were taking care of. We would definitely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone!”
About: I’ve had dogs since I was a baby and have experience with taking care of family members pets! I’m very active, so your dog will be able to get as much exercise as you’d like! I’m currently a high school student with an abbreviated schedule, I only have one 90 minute class per day, and then I can leave the campus so I’m available anytime. I have a fairly large living room in which we will spend most of our time, I am very attentive with pets and am sure to always keep an eye on them
“Lily was amazing! She came over for a meet and greet and Maverick liked her right away. Then for his overnight she stayed with him until we returned. She did a great job making sure he got his walk and lots of snuggles. He was happy and calm when we returned. We will definitely have Lily stay with him again when we have to leave him for any length of time. Loved Lily!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - River Park
I cannot recommend Ashley highly enough! She watched my dogs while I was traveling in Argentina, and she truly went above and beyond in every possible way. During her stay, my dog Rocky became sick and required an intense medical routine, including multiple medications and strict monitoring. Ashley handled everything with absolute professionalism, love, and grace. She managed his medication schedule perfectly, kept me constantly updated with reassuring messages, and gave him the extra comfort and attention he desperately needed while being under the weather. It is incredibly stressful to be thousands of miles away when your pet is sick, but her exceptional communication and dedicated care gave me complete peace of mind. She treated my dogs as if they were her own. If you are looking for a pet sitter who is reliable, compassionate, and highly capable of handling complex care, look no further. She is simply the best!
We’re so pleased to have found Alexys, she truly is the best. She followed my instructions to a ‘T’ and I can be quite pedantic when it comes to my girls, but she went above and beyond, and most importantly my girls took to her straight away. I would not hesitate to recommend her,
Ashley was absolutely wonderful during my 8-night house-sitting stay! She stayed in my home and took amazing care of my two Great Danes and my cat while I was away. She was reliable, respectful of my home, and gave me complete peace of mind throughout my trip. She sent regular updates and photos, which I truly appreciated, and it was obvious from every message that she genuinely cared for my pets. They received so much love, attention, and excellent care, and I came home to three happy, relaxed animals and a well-cared-for house. I couldn't have asked for a better experience and will absolutely book Ashley again. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, compassionate, and dependable house sitter!
Kimberly was amazing, and I highly recommend her! She was responsible, friendly, and provided excellent communication throughout the entire stay. She kept me updated with messages and photos, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. Most importantly, my pets were happy, well cared for, and comfortable when I returned home. I would absolutely book with Kimberly again and would recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and reliable pet sitter.
My 3 dogs were taken care of for 2 weeks at my home and they were all fine and no issues with escaping. One of them realized she could jump my fence right before I left but there was no escaping when I was gone because she kept the doors locked. My dog checks! She handled them and I had peace of mind.
Amanda house sit with Fabio for a week while I was on vacation. She was great with my shy little guy. She visited with him before the sitting and he was relaxed and comfortable with her. Amanda is kind and caring and Fabio sensed this right away. While I was away she kept in contact with me with messages and pictures which I appreciated. I returned home to a happy little guy. I definitely recommend her if you want to have piece of mind that your babies will be well taken care of while your away.
Adriana was great with Bailey. He liked her from the beginning. When she came over to meet us, she spent a lot of her time interacting with Bailey. Then, when we were talking, Bailey went over and lay down with his head on Adriana's feet. So we felt very comfortable leaving him with her as a first time sitter. She kept in touch with texts and let us know every day how Bailey was doing. She left the house in better shape than when we left. We will definitely use her again.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in River Park is $53 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $38 and $72 per night. 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.

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred River Park walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in River Park maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
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 Park 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!
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.
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.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
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.

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.
