About: 💗 Experienced with a variety of furry friends 💗 Consistent communicator 💗 Comfortable with large dogs and pets with behavioral challenges I have never known a life without the joy of pets! My experience with many dogs, cats, fish, bunnies, and even a turtle make me a highly adaptable and knowledgable sitter. Consistent communication is highly prioritized in my service as I provide updates and photos often. Taking care of animals including feeding, cleaning up after, bathing, and playing with them has always been a part of my routine and I have pet and house sat for a wide variety of animals. I have experience with special needs pets that require lots of attention as well as those that like to be left alone and are more solitary. A pets quality of life is extremely important to me, I can guarantee I will take great care of your companions. I am a part time student and color guard coach, which gives me the ability to have an extremely flexible schedule to check on pets as much or little as you need. I take a lot of pride in ensuring that I can create the best possible pet sitting experience for you. Respecting animals boundaries/preferences is extremely important to how I carry out pet responsibilities. People and pets alike all have different routines and needs so please do not hesitate to let me know every little detail to make this experience as positive as possible for yourself and your furry friend. You can be assured of the safety and happiness of your pets.

“We had a wonderful experience and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and attentive. Our cats are typically very anxious and don’t warm up to new people easily, but she was incredibly patient and gentle with them. By the end of our trip, they were comfortable and even snuggly with her, which really says a lot. She treats your pets like her own and consistently goes above and beyond what’s asked. As anxious pet parents, it gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands. She also provided regular, detailed updates, which helped us feel connected and reassured while we were away. We’re so grateful for the care she gave our pets and will definitely be using her again. If you’re looking for someone who will love your pets, understand their quirks, and keep you sane while you’re away—she’s it. 10/10, no notes.”

About: Ever since I was little I’ve had people tell me how I’m an animal whisper. I have always loved dealing and spending time with any kind of animal. I have skills of giving animals medicine by pills, shots, and liquids. I am in a vet since class at my high school that has tought me lots of skills for animals. I am attending a local college that I have every other day during the week from 10-4, but have a 2 hour break in between How I care for my pets at home is making sure they have food, water and all the loves. Every morning and night I feed my 3 dogs with quality food. Sometimes I will have to give 2 of my dogs medicine when needed. Me and my dogs play all the time and have a happy life. How I deal with other family’s animals that I’m sitting for is by giving them loves, making sure they have food and water, and letting them out side when needed. I have noticed a lot of the times when I send photos of the animals to the owner they appreciate it. I am also able to take your dogs out for walks whether they need to get some energy out or to use the bathroom.

About: I have taken care of dogs since I was 16 and I’m now 26 . My friends, family members and my boss have trust me with their paw-friends & you can to🐶❤️ I also have experience working with elder dogs and giving them their medication as needed . I’ve dog sat for so many friends and family for the past several years and it’s honestly so rewarding 😊🌸 Pet care is already part of my routine because I enjoy spending time with my two dogs . I make time each day for feeding, walks, playtime, exercise, and giving pets the attention and care they need to feel happy and comfortable. 🐾 I treat every pet as if they were my own. In a client’s home, I follow their pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, potty breaks, medications (if needed), and lots of attention and affection. I also keep the home clean, secure, and provide regular updates to pet parents. If caring for pets in my home, I provide a safe, comfortable, and supervised environment with plenty of exercise, enrichment, and companionship. My goal is to make pets feel relaxed, happy, and well cared for while their owners are away. 🐾

About: Animal Care and service was my career and my passion for many years, since I was a child. I have had the opportunity to work with and learn from several Humane Societies and Animal Care Centers over the years. Loving, Caring for and protecting Animals have always been my passion as well as serving in my community. This is my opportunity to share my home, my passion and my love for animals with your (furry) family member and I am excited about that. I have always appreciated the trust, loyalty and respect given to me by the owners that love their dogs, simply put! It’s just a wonderful feeling to be around all that love. I am officially retired so I have plenty of time to spend with your furry family member, I also have a flexible schedule so that I can offer several Animal Care Services I have a gated front yard, fenced rear yard and a secure pool area if your dogs likes to have water fun, additional secure small Animal play Area (my Boston’s love it). The security cameras also give that little extra feeling of safety. I have crates, dog beds and private quiet rooms for the Animals to sleep or rest in if needed so your animal always feels totally at home. (because that’s the real goal!❤️).

“Angela did a great job taking care of our three pets (2 cats, 1 dog) and house sitting during our week long vacation. One of our cats has health issues and requires medication three times daily and needs her skin cared for due to allergies and she did a great job managing all of it. We appreciated her communication and frequent updates and pictures. We came home to a clean home and happy pets! Will definitely book again and would recommend!”

About: I have lived with cats my whole life. Yet, since then, I happily decided to adopt my 4 beautiful dogs. I couldn't be happier taking care of them plus my cats. I also babysit 2 of my friends dogs and cats at times. All 5 dogs get along great and they keep each other company when I am here and when I am gone. I have also stayed at a couple people's houses and watched their pets while they were out of town. I am available at different times throughout the day but I can also be available at some nights. I enjoy spending time with animals, playing with them and helping them feel safe and comfortable. The other three days, I feed horses, so I am more limited on what I can do. I hate whenever I see animals that are bored or neglected. I am currently working part-time, but I am perfectly willing to spend what extra time I have taking a dog for a walk or playing catch. Plus, I love taking care of kitties too. I take care of anyone's pets as if they were my own. I want for them to feel as happy, safe and loved as possible.

About: Hi, you can call me Jace! I’ve nursed puppies back from parvo, bottle-fed new born kittens, and rescued over 10 dogs from the street! I also have experience in special needs and senior dog care! I’m currently working part time and have plenty of time in my schedule for boarding! Monday - Sunday I can be booked for overnights and will be spending time with your furry family before 2 pm and after 6 pm. I am extremely cautious of front dogs and perimeter safety. I also secure leashes before we step outside and always lock doors upon leaving the premises.

She responded quickly, was super flexible with her availability, and kept me updated the entire time. She was so accommodating and even went above and beyond by helping with cleanup, which I really appreciated. On top of being reliable, she’s incredibly sweet and clearly has a genuine love for animals. I felt completely at ease knowing Benji was in such good hands. I’ll definitely be booking with her again—highly recommend!”

About: Where I live, I am not able to have pets. (English bulldogs are my favorites! I know all about their special needs having been owned by them before.) But I love animals, have been a dog and cat owner in the past and have fur-babysat for many friends, family and acquaintances for many years. I give good ear and belly rubs, am able to walk dogs and send you pictures. I follow instructions well, can administer medication and pick up after pets diligently. Can give generous treats or few, as directed. I am comfortable with multiple animals. I know the value of making sure water bowls are full, animals aren't overheated or left out in the cold and clients feel confident about their property & pet care. I have watched all sizes, from dachshunds to St. Bernards. I do not have allergies. I am responsive to messages, usually have a flexible schedule and pride myself on good service. Every animal has their own personality. They all appreciate the comfort of their own home, though. My daily schedule is working in an office from 7:30-4:30. I am available most afternoons and evenings for walks, possible animal and house-sitting many weekends. Since I am not able to own pets in the home I rent, your animals would have all my attention. I would Not take on multiple jobs or agree to more than I could handle. Your fur babies are your priority and taking good care of them is mine.

FAQs for House Sitting - Riverbend

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of November 2026, there are 576 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Riverbend. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

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 Riverbend 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 Riverbend 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 Riverbend 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Riverbend. On Rover:

  • 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% 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.
