About: I have worked with pets for over 10 years. From dog walking to dog sitting I have followed routines and scheduled for a pet need. I work remotely at my home full time during the week and have a routine that is open for pet sitting and dog walking nearby. I ensure that I maintain cleanliness in my home and while in the home of others. I will ensure that there is a level of safety and priority with your pet.
“We are so lucky to have found Amy! We're new to the area and Rover helped us find the perfect fit for our furry family. Amy is kind and easy to talk to and we were able to enjoy our time away knowing that she was caring for our crew with love.”
About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life. I’m a cat owner myself and have two wonderful female cats. I’m passionate about providing care. I volunteer at the SPCA and received training in both feline and canine behavior and handling. I regularly attend cat adoption events to help cats find loving homes. A few years ago, my family drove hours to adopt my now 4 year old cat, Francis, after finding her through a Craigslist listing. I’ve also sat pets for family and friends, cats and dogs. I have experience caring for small animals such as hamsters, gerbils, and mice. I use SEPTA and Lyft for transportation, for that reason, I prefer bookings within Philly. My services are available to you and your pet 24/7. My personal routine is very flexible! Your pet comes first and will always be under my supervision during the stay. I am Fear Free® certified and aim for every pet to feel safe and comfortable in my care. I follow any given instructions and keep you updated during the stay with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you're away.
“Davene has been a fantastic sitter for my puppy. While he is still a little timid and learning to be around other people who aren’t me, her updates to me show that he has warmed up to her, which shows that she truly cares for the pets she looks after.”
About: I love animals and promise to give your dog extra attention and love while walking them! I have helped many people take care of their animals before so I can promise you, your fur baby is in good hands! Another fun fact about me is that I played college basketball for about two years so I can assure you I’ll be able to keep up with your dog! I work in healthcare marketing and am trying to earn a little extra cash 😊 I currently work full time but have the flexibility to walk dogs when needed! I go on long walks myself multiple times a day, so adding a dog to this routine would make it so much better! My main goal is to make you and your dog feel as comfortable as possible. I will give nothing but unconditional love to your dog and treat him/her as my own.
“Julie was really great!! She def knows cats!! I felt so comfortable leaving my kitties with her. She was able to give my cat medications and his inhaler as he has asthma. Was really great about following all instructions and had great photos to share. So happy with her care and would def use her again.”
About: With over 20 years of experience, caring for animals has always been a big part of my life. I’ve been around dogs since I was 7 years old, starting with family pets and eventually helping neighbors with their dogs throughout middle school and into adulthood. Even today, I still help friends and neighbors care for their dogs and cats regularly. I also had the opportunity to care for my own cat for 4 years, which gave me a strong understanding of feline personalities, routines, and comfort needs as well. After taking some time away in 2025 due to family circumstances, I’m excited to be back in 2026 doing something I genuinely enjoy, providing pets with a safe, loving, and fun environment where they feel at home. I currently work Full-Time from home - So I am always present, and able to keep your pet on a nice schedule regarding food, play-time, and potty breaks. I'm available Monday-Sunday anytime that works best for you My home features a downstairs area where pets can roam freely. Also my development offers plenty of walking space. Plus, there are many parks nearby that provide a great spot for your pets to enjoy some running time with my family and me.
About: I absolutely adore animals, and as a dog mom I know how important our babies are to us. I promise to treat your baby as if it were mine. My calming, and playful aura makes any pet comfortable to be around me. I look forward to loving your pet. I am currently working full time from home, but my availability makes me available before, after work, and on the weekends. We all need a little help, and I’d like to make things easier for you. All pets will definitely be safe with me. I only spread love to pets. I have worked close with my dog training him, and I have experience training other dogs.
About: I'm Batool and I'm 24 years old. I grew up in a home that loved taking stray cats in and have taken care of animals for most of my life. I've walked, played with and house sat for my co-workers' and clients' dogs. I'm most comfortable with small and medium sized dogs and I love hanging out with high energy puppies. I'm reliable, I prioritise open and clear communication, and I'm available to take care of your furry friend as my own. I'm currently job searching for full-time roles, and have plenty of time during the week and the weekends to walk, play with and spend quality time with your pet. I prioritise respecting my clients' space and following the routine they maintain for their pet. For walks, potty breaks and food I ensure punctuality. I understand every dog has their own personality and needs, and I account for it in my care. If your pup just needs me to be around, I'm around. If your pup loves loads of play time, I'm ready to play.
“Amanda took care of our three cats while we were away. She kept us in the know of what was going on at home. Leaving parts of your family is stressful but having Amanda check in on them made our travel stress free! Thank you Amanda!”
“Melissa did an outstanding job taking care of our cat Belle while we were on vacation. She kept us up to date with pictures and summaries on how Belle was doing while we were away. It gave us peace of mind to know how well she was being cared for!”
“Kaitlyn provides outstanding care for my puppy. My work schedule is all over the place and she has been very flexible and consistent on my work days to make sure my pup is taken care of. I am a repeat customer. As long as she is available, Kaitlyn is the one my puppy and I choose!!! Cannot thank her enough. The gratitude is endless.”

“Morgan was great! This was my first time using Rover for my 2 girls and I am so pleased. I had such peace of mind knowing they were under Morgan's care. Her love for animals is evident from her bio and communication with me. She was thorough in her care and made sure she accommodated all of my girls' needs.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 9,095 sitters on Rover offering Dog 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.
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 Riverton 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!
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.
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 .
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Riverton with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
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.
