About: I’ve been pet sitting, including overnights at clients' homes, for over six years. I genuinely love getting to know animals of all kinds, including dogs, cats, gerbils, and even bearded dragons! I’m comfortable caring for senior pets and those who need a little extra patience, including blind pets and those who sometimes have accidents. I always strive to keep my clients' fur babes happy and relaxed so that they feel safe while their parents are away. I also include watering plants and mail fetching in my services. If desired, we can chat about house cleaning rates, too. Thank you for considering me! I work full time but am available to check in on pets in the morning, at lunch, and after work, including overnight stays. When I accept a job, I make pet sitting my first priority! I am happy to flex my work schedule to ensure you receive the best care for your pets and home. It is my absolute priority to create a safe, calm, and familiar environment for every pet that I care for. I am a stickler for following instructions, and even prefer a detailed list of feeding schedules, medication needs, routines, and any behaviors or triggers that may help me with your pet(s). I am detail oriented (which helps in my full-time job, too!), paying strict attention to locking doors and gates, setting alarms, and keeping spaces clear for my furry friends. I also monitor pet behavior and their bodies for any changes that may warrant contacting you. My ultimate goal is your peace of mind.
“This is the first time I had someone stay in my home to care for Chica. Alexys was great. She came by the house the day before we were leaving for a meet and greet. She arrived on time, stayed one night overnight, washed the sheets and made the bed. That was above and beyond. And Chica was happy. I would definitely use Alexys again and recommend her to anyone need pet sitting/walking services.”
“Gabrielle always takes excellent care of our cat and dog. She was able to help us out and watch them quickly when we had a family emergency pop up. I felt rest assured knowing they were in great hands!”
“Always such a great caretaker for our animals. They have provided so much help with last minute assistance with our animals. TreDerica is incredibly communicative and has always shared so many pictures with us while we are away. Will happily book multiple times !”
“We always know our dog and our house are in good hands with Christopher. He leaves the house spotless, and he keeps our dog happy, healthy, and comfortable, with no complications or other concerns.”
“Barbara was fantastic with my dog Bailey when I was on vacation for 5 days! Wonderful communication and sent pics to check in! Definitely would recommend to anyone that would like a responsible and caring dog sitter!”
About: A lifelong animal lover, I have cared for pets my whole life. With two beloved companions of my own, I bring passion and expertise to every furry friend! Pet care fits into my routine after 9 PM on weekdays and with more flexibility Friday through Sunday, ensuring dedicated time for every furry friend’s needs. I provide weekend overnight care, including feeding, walking, and companionship. I also offer weekday and weekend walks, ensuring pets receive the attention they need and deserve
“Vanessa was a great sitter! Went above and beyond for my picky eater kitty and keeping both my cats comfortable. She sent lots of updates on the cats and kept the house perfectly clean after her stay.”
“Thanks to Greg we were finally able to go away without our needy pets. We were able to relax because Greg did a great job of connecting with our pets and communicating with us. He followed all of our detailed instructions and cleaned up like he was never here. We hope to hire Greg again for more housesitting. His care is much appreciated.”
About: I’ve taken care of cats since I was a young child and have 2 of my own that I am absolutely obsessed with! Cats are my speciality. I currently work in Philadelphia as a visiting infusion nurse Monday-Thursday 10hr shifts. And have more availability Friday-Sunday. But also can be available after my shift if needed! I provide attentive, reliable care for pets in my clients' homes so they can stay comfortable in their own environment. I follow each individual pet's routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medication (if needed), and plenty of affection and attention. I will also provide photos and videos for owners to give them peace of mind!
“Jessica was absolutely amazing as a house sitter. She was great with our two dogs and they are not the easiest to handle. One is a blind German Shepherd and the other is a skiddish Bernese Mountain Dog. But right away she had them both cuddling up to her. She's a natural. She also took excellent care of the house, was super informative and responsive, and made us feel very confident leaving our dogs and house with her while on vacation. I'd give 6 stars if I could.”
“1,000,000/5 stars for Jesse’s phenomenal job babysitting my energetic 2 year old pug!! I was in a pinch as a loved one unfortunately passed, leaving me on a time crunch to find a sitter for a funeral. My dog is recovering from eye surgery which initially made me nervous about putting him in someone else’s care. From other reviews, I could instantly tell that Jesse would be the perfect fit, and I could not be happier with the outcome! Jesse went above and beyond with excellent communication, punctuality, a positive attitude, and a relaxed demeanor. My dog and Jesse instantly got along, Jesse was ready to jump right in! I felt completely at ease knowing my dog was in great hands, an understatement. Jesse was so awesome that I’m thinking of planning some vacations, I won’t have to even think twice about who to go to for watching my little pup. I’m so happy that my dog has a new buddy and someone I can truly trust. I highly recommend his services and will be spreading the word. If you’re looking for a sitter, JESSE IS THE BEST!!!!!!”
About: I have never lived in a household without a fur baby being present. We've own big and small dogs, a cat, and even a bunny at one point. Being a pet owner is all I've ever known so I am pretty confident in my knowledge of pets and just pet parent intuition. I have recently left my full time job and started my own photography business so my schedule is extremely flexible and open. The only day I am typically unavailable is Sundays. I promise to treat every pet baby as if they were my own. I know that pets are more like family than anything so you/they would have a friend in me.
About: Hello this is Santiago, If your dog loves to burn off energy, they will love hanging out with me! I am very playful and love nothing more than a high-intensity game of catch in the backyard or at the park. If a game of fetch isn't their thing, I am always down to run around and play whatever games they enjoy.Just like the sweet, massive pups I’ve cared for in the past, I bring a patient, loving "Gentle Giant" energy to every visit. Don't worry if your dog is on the smaller side, either—I am incredibly mindful of my size and know exactly how to be soft, gentle, and encouraging with smaller dogs and cats so they feel completely safe and secure around me. Pet care fits perfectly into my morning and evening routines! I dedicate my early mornings and late afternoons/evenings entirely to drop-in visits, walks, and playtime. This routine is ideal for working pet parents who need someone reliable to check on their furry friends before and after the workday. When caring for pets in a client's home, safety and trust are my top priorities.Inside the Home: I strictly follow the owner's entry and exit instructions, ensuring doors and gates are securely locked behind me. I provide a calm environment, refresh food and water, clean up any messes, and give lots of affection. As a gentle giant, I am highly mindful of my size and make sure to approach smaller dogs and cats softly so they feel completely safe. If the dog is high-energy, we will spend time playing catch or running around the yard to burn off energy safely.On Walks: I maintain total control of the leash at all times. My physical strength allows me to easily manage large, powerful breeds like German Shepherds or hunting dogs if they pull or encounter a distraction. I stay alert to our surroundings, avoid unknown dogs, and ensure your pet stays safe, happy, and well-exercised before tucking them safely back into their home.
“Brittany was so amazing! She was super communicative and flexible with my booking and Oscar absolutely loved her. I will definitely book with Brittany again if I need a long-term stay for Oscar!”
About: Long-time Dog Lover and Owner Here! I’ve had dogs since I was 6 years old, ranging from Beagles to Pits but I love all breeds of dogs. Over the years I’ve done lots of dog sitting for friends and family and am always up for some good play time and cuddle time with doggos. I’m experienced with administering medication to dogs and cats. I’m also a quick learner and will be very mindful about particular requests in caring for your dog. I love to walk all over the city and look forward to taking your fur babies along with me!. If you have any more questions don’t hesitate to contact me. I look forward to meeting you and spoiling your pups with lots of love! Note: Unfortunately, I cannot care for or accommodate cats as I am highly allergic :( I currently work mornings until 2pm and live close to work so I have full afternoons and evenings available for your fur baby. I’m also off on weekends and have open availability. I have a fenced in yard and no pets currently. I do have a 5-year-old child but she has been around dogs and is very kind and gentle with them. However, your dog must be ok with small children. I also live in a neighborhood with wide sidewalks and a nearby playground making it super easy to walk your dog. I also have a car so I can easily drive to places in the area to for drop-in visits and dog sitting.
“Kathryn was awesome and very professional. She kept me updated throughout the day and made me feel very much at ease. Katie took excellent care of my dog (Ruben). I would highly recommend Kathryn!”
“Quanece and Malik did such a great job watching our dog penny! Since we moved to Philly we had barely left, due to not having a trusted dog sitter. They took amazing care of our dog, left us multiple updates a day, and they left our house absolutely immaculate. We already have them scheduled for another trip this month and will continue to be repeat customers!”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Riverton is $55
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Riverton
Naomi stayed in my house with my 15 year old diabetic kitty for 15 days. She did an excellent job, giving her insulin shots twice a day as well as normal kitty and house sitting duties. She sent photos and notes throughout the two weeks so I knew she was doing a great job. Thanks Naomi! Would definitely hire her again.
Kristen provided wonderful care to my epileptic pup that needed medication every 12 hours. She was awesome in providing updates and pictures throughout her stay. She communicated very well and was very responsible. I would definitely hire her again in the future.
Teresa was amazing! My two rescue dogs with very different personalities (one is outgoing and one is shy) both loved her. My dogs and house were well taken care of and she was very communicative throughout my whole trip. She did lots of extras to provide a high level of customer service which was really appreciated. We will definitely book with her again!
Kayla stayed at our house with our two dogs and one cat for a couple nights. She was great! She had no issues with the special needs of our senior dog and our younger, sensitive dog. She handled last minute medication needs with ease. Everyone was happy and healthy when we got back. We would book Kayla again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 5,658 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Riverton. 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 Riverton 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 Riverton 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 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!
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.

- 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.
