About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and have hands-on experience caring for a variety of pets, including dogs, bunnies, and birds. Growing up with different types of animals taught me how to adapt to each pet’s unique personality, needs, and routines. I’m comfortable with everything from energetic dogs who need structured walks and play, to smaller animals that require gentle handling and consistency. I pay close attention to behavior, appetite, and mood to make sure every pet is happy, healthy, and comfortable. I currently have open availability, which allows me to be flexible and fully accommodate your pet’s routine. Whether your pet needs early morning visits, midday check-ins, or evening care, I can adjust my schedule to fit their needs. Because I’m not rushing between commitments, I’m able to give each pet focused, unhurried attention during every visit. I care for pets in their own home, where they feel most safe and comfortable. My approach is always needs-based, meaning I follow your pet’s routine closely and adjust to their personality. whether they need lots of interaction or a calm, low-key presence.

“Lynsey is the best! She took great care of my pups and I would definitely use her again in the future! Some nice pictures of them during the visit, a detailed report, and message. It's hard leaving your fur family at home but it was made easier knowing they were in great hands with Lynsey!”

About: I have worked with animals for a while. This includes all breeds and all ages. I am working on getting my vet degree and currently work in a vet office. I am able to medicate, walk and help with basic training. I am currently working part time. My schedule does change week by week, but I do always get it in advance. I am available to do walks in the afternoon and night. I can also do sit in services if you would like. I live in an apartment with a couple dog parks around. We go on daily walks and when we can we play ball in the parks.

About: I cared for the family dog for 5 years, she was 7 when we rescued her after a breeder no longer wanted her. We wanted to give her the best years for her retirement. I then opened my home to fostering dogs a year later, to give another pup the chance to learn and experience the joys of being a family dog. I have since fostered a handful of different dogs ranging from a 3 month old puppy to a prospective agility dog, as well as a 65lb gentle giant. Whether it’s taking it slow with your senior pup or multiple daily walks/enrichment for your high drive bestie, I can do it all! Available day and night. Your pup, if crate trained, would be alone for a maximum of 3-hours, when needed. If not crate trained a secure room will be utilized in emergencies for a maximum of 1-hour. I have multiple sized crates both soft and metal. If your pup is house trained free roaming will always be allowed. If your dog has trouble acclimating and/or is not house trained, a play pen or crate may be utilized to minimize clean up from accidents. Sleeping on the bed is preferred for me, but I respect boundaries and/or crate training if needed. Dogs are never allowed off leash when outdoors, for their security and mine. Located on a quiet street with a backyard. Access to parks and trails within 20 minutes for more active dogs.

About: Taken care of different breeds, small and big dogs, cats and small critters. Trained dogs used for disabilities. I walk small dogs with a harness only, and don’t allow them to jump from high places, due to their tiny bones. I make sure they are secured before opening any door where they might run off. I have an Instagram page where I upload dogs I meet , dogs I take care of or watch , dogs that were placed in safe homes. I will take photos to give updates. Can change day to day but if notified ahead of time , can usually work around my schedule. I do check my texts and email if something changes. My dogs are sociable, always keeping an eye out, they are like little kids. There is currently a Japanese Chin, Shitzu, Pekingese, Saint Bernard, a cat, a bird and 3 guinea pigs, in the home.

About: Will feed, walk, and love your animal companion. Will bathe and groom upon request. I treat all animals as my children. I believe that they deserve respect and love. I have a passion for caring for all living things. I have worked in an animal rescue and animal kennel in the past. I also have experience with special needs and abused animals.

About: I’ve taken care of small-medium dogs short-term and long-term. Friends and family know my love for dogs and always call me for dog sitting. I want to get one of my own soon! I’m currently working from home and have lots of flexibility. I also love to go on short and long walks myself and would love to help someone out and walk a pet while I go for my walks! After pet sitting in the past, I’ve been told I did a wonderful job and that their pet loved being with me. I offer a fun and caring environment, follow schedule as provided, and go out for many walks. I’ve usually done sitting at the clients home so the pet is most comfortable in its own home.

“Enrik was awesome! We were away for 10 days and were so much more relaxed knowing our dog was being taken care of. He went above and beyond what we asked for, checking on the dog multiple times a day, and even taking down our garbage on collection day. I would recommend Enrik to anyone who needs someone to look after their furry pet when they are away. Thanks Enrik!”

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Riverton

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Riverton is $8 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $1 and $15 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 1,803 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Riverton. 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 Riverton. On Rover:

  • 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 92% 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.
