“Veronica took such great care of Henry! She was prompt, communicative and sent lots of photos. I arrived home to a healthy and happy pup! Will definitely be asking her to come sit again!”
“This was our first time working with June for taking care of our Rhodesian ridgeback and Ragdoll cat for a 10 day home stay. She is very friendly and has the natural, playful animal connection that is important to engage with them. She follow directions, gave updates and communicated well with my mom who was also helping to care for them while we were away. My mother told me the animals really like June, so that was comforting hear from her, and reassured me they were in good hands. We will definitely use her again.”
“Debbie was great. She handled everything professionally, asked great questions, and even had some suggestions. Good communication leading up to and during our trip. We would use her again.”
“Avalon was amazing again watching our Forrest! She is always kind, loving and very professional. Forrest just loves the attention and loves Avalon. The best dog sitter ever!”
“Lucinda was great, took wonderful care of our Gary for ten days while we were out of the country. Sent lots of pictures and left the house cleaner than we left. Thanks Lucinda - Gary misses you!”
“Mackenzie was fantastic! She is very responsive, communicative and reliable. She sent a ton of photos and our pets received a lot of love : ) She was so nice to make sure the house was clean when we arrived back. We will have her back again.”
“Chanel jumped in at the last minute to help me while I was out of the country. She knew I was stressed and did a great job in reassuring me that my senior cat was going to be well taken care of. She worked very hard to get his trust, and succeeded. Her communication was great and she sent pictures everyday. She left my house in great shape.”
About: Hi! I’m a dependable animal lover with over 20 years of experience caring for my own pets, as well as dogs and cats for friends and family. Whether your pet needs a daily walk, drop-in visit, fresh food and water, litter box cleaning, playtime, or overnight care while you’re away, I’m happy to help. I understand that every pet has their own personality and routine, and I take the time to make them feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for. My goal is to provide reliable, attentive care that gives you peace of mind while you’re away and keeps your pet happy in their familiar environment. I’m comfortable caring for both cats and dogs and pride myself on being responsible, communicative, and respectful of your home. I’ll treat your pets with the same kindness, patience, and attention I’d want for my own. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! As a Senior IT Manager that works remotely Monday-Friday, I have incredible flexibility. I simply need reliable internet to work anywhere in the United States. I have experience caring for dogs that have full free range of the house and all furniture to those who have specific boundaries that need to be followed. I’m very comfortable abiding by all house rules within any setting. This loosely applies to cats who often only abide by their own rules! Haha
“100% happy satisfaction with the pet sitting services provided by Lindsey! We received pet status updates during our time away including photos showing three happy cats! Thank you Lindsey as you made our travels all the more enjoyable knowing all was well at home! Looking forward to contacting you for our next trip! Steve & Dianne H. Tualatin, Oregon”
“I cannot recommend Marc enough! Leaving our pets is always stressful, but Marc took such incredible care of them that it felt like they were on vacation too. They were attentive to our pets’ specific routines and sent the best daily photo updates, which allowed me to completely relax on our trip. I will definitely be using them again!”
“Simply, Adeline was a perfect pet sitter in pur home. Our little dog is 16 years old and doesn't hear. He also was highly traumatized before we adopted him, so new people make him very agitated. deline was amazing with him. She was kind enough to agree to a pre vacation meetup before our holiday. She listened to our concerns and clearly treated him well. By the time we came home a week later, she was his bestie. Adeline sent us photos periodically with updates and seemed to really care about them, offering to sit for us again in the future. We're so grateful to Adeline for her patience and care; she made it possible for me to relax on vacation knowing they were in good hands. Thank you Adeline!”
“Trula was amazing. One of my pups is very nervous around new people and spends most her time hiding from or running from new people. Trula was only watching my pets for 1 night but won over Ella who played and even cuddled up for the night with Trula. I’m so excited to have Trula come stay with my fur babies for a weekend in October and November!”
“Khahae was great with my little furry ones, I could tell they were well cared for and happy in the pictures she sent and when I arrived home. It was so nice to know my pets had great care while I was away. She definitely went above and beyond and I would for sure use her again.”
“As usual Julia was great. She's always on time, if not early, and the puppies love when she stays with them. We get pics and updates while we're away which makes us feel so much better about someone else caring for them. Julia is always the first person we think of when we have travel planned and need someone to stay at our house.”
“Bryanna was absolutely wonderful with our fur babies! We got updates regularly and lots of photos. We really appreciated that she asked questions when needed instead of assuming or winging it, and she really put the needs of our pets first. We feel confident leaving the fur babies in her hands and we will be rebooking with her very soon!”
“Lindsay did a great job watching our dogs! They were friendly and easy to communicate with. They followed instructions well and adapted to a pup that was very shy and stand off-ish.”
“I was beyond impressed with Parrish. She is an absolute ANGEL. My dog (and myself) are nervous wrecks, and I’ve never left her with someone new before. We both instantly loved her and she took the best care of my girl. Couldn’t recommend her enough- anyone would be lucky to have her care for their animals.”

Taryn was absolutely incredible, and we truly cannot recommend her enough 🤍🐾 From the moment we met her, she was kind, thoughtful, communicative, and clearly cared so much about our girls. She kept us updated with tons of sweet photos and messages throughout the stay, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. One of the sweetest parts for us was seeing how comfortable our Riley became with her. Riley can be slow to warm up to new people, so seeing her rolling over for belly rubs and fully relaxing with Taryn honestly brought so much joy to our hearts. It was so clear our girls felt safe, loved, and genuinely cared for with her. Taryn went above and beyond, handled everything with so much care, and was incredibly attentive and reassuring the entire time. We already shared her profile with one of our best friends and will absolutely continue recommending her to others because she is truly such a genuine, caring person. The girls adored her, and we cannot wait to book with her again 🤍🐶🐕🐾
Melissa and her wife, Leslie, were amazing with our senior dog!! They came over to meet her ahead of time and I felt so comfortable leaving her in their care. They sent me regular updates and left the house very clean for our return. Will absolutely use them again in the future!
If you're ever unsure of leaving your animals, just leave it to Enya! She is a rockstar and we are so relieved to have found a petsitter that takes care of our babies as her own. Our rescue dog has high anxiety when separated from her humans, and we were nervous leaving her for the first time. She took a few days to warm up but Enya was gentle, patient, and considerate of her space and boundaries. By day two, our dog came around. Our cats absolutely adored her from the start and seemed to get along better for her than they ever have for us! Enya kept us updated on the regular and is quick to respond / shift care as needed. Our place was left exactly as she found it, and she even went above and beyond to make our animals' spots around the house even cozier. No need to look further, Enya is your girl!
Chelsea was absolutely AMAZING! This was really my first time ever having a dog sitter watch my dog and she brought me so much comfort with her daily updates and letting me know how everything was going! I love receiving all the pictures while I was on my trip and would absolutely have her watch my pup again!
Anastasiya was phenomenal. She watched our home and herd of animals for us while we were out of town. She went above and beyond with caring for our fur babies. She was in communication and sent regular updates keeping our minds at ease. What a joy and gift to have found her. Xoxoxo
Cheyenne was fabulous with our pets. First, I was so impressed with how quickly she warmed up to our furry boys- you could immediately tell she knows what she's doing and cares. I'm pretty detailed, so I leave a lot of lists and to-do's and she followed them all. She sent regular updates with amazing photos, checked in with any questions, and left our house spotless. You could tell that she appreciates how hard it is to hand your very-loved pets and house over to a near stranger. She worked hard to win our trust, and it was very relieving. We'll definitely use her again!
Jessica took fantastic care of our dog Huckleberry! We were really nervous to leave him with someone new and she communicated so well with us during the visit with updates, and asked so many questions to make sure she gave him the best care and support while we were away. She also was super respectful at our house and left it very clean! We will definitely be working with her again and can’t thank her enough for taking such great care of our dog while we were gone!
Grace stayed at our place to take care of our dog, Otto, while we were away on vacation. It was the first time we've used a pet sitter and it was a really great experience. She sent daily updates and photos of our pup which really helped ease the anxiety I had about leaving him. The house was clean and tidy when we returned home and Otto was happy, relaxed and excited to see us. If you're looking for a pet sitter, I highly recommend Grace. She was easy to communicate with and Otto loved her from the first meeting.

FAQs for House Sitting - Rivergrove
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Rivergrove on Rover is $55.5 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House 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 House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 4,615 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Rivergrove. 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 Rivergrove 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 Rivergrove 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 Rivergrove 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 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.

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.
