Alexandria was so great with my dog Neko. She was affectionate and caring with her, and she communicated well with me, to make me feel at ease for leaving her. Alexandria followed all my instructions and was very friendly and personable too. I also really like that she was able to be at my house with my dog for almost the whole stay. That's a very big plus when you have a dog with separation anxiety! I would definitely book her again!

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.

About: I’ve taken care of many different clients and run a business working with cats, dogs, fish, birds etc. Providing quality and affordable pet care for your pets. Pet care is an integral part of my daily routine. Each day starts with checking in on the pets under my care, ensuring they are well-fed, hydrated, and comfortable. Throughout the day, I schedule regular playtimes and walks to keep them active and happy. I meticulously follow any specific instructions provided by pet owners, such as administering medication or adhering to particular feeding schedules. By prioritizing the well-being of the pets I look after, I ensure they receive the consistent, loving care they deserve, seamlessly integrating pet care into my everyday life. Check us out on social media otepetsitting & otecarrentals. Caring for pets, whether in my home or my client’s home, involves providing a safe, comfortable, and nurturing environment tailored to each pet’s unique needs. In my home, I ensure that pets have their own designated spaces, complete with cozy bedding, toys, and access to fresh water and nutritious food. I maintain a clean, pet-friendly environment, free of hazards and full of love and attention. When caring for pets in my client’s home, I follow their specific instructions to maintain the pet’s routine and comfort. This includes feeding, administering medication, providing exercise, and ensuring companionship. I respect the client’s home as if it were my own, keeping it tidy and secure. Whether at my place or theirs, my goal is to create a stress-free experience for both the pets and their owners, ensuring the pets feel safe, loved, and well-cared for at all times.

This was our second time having Brittany care for Bleu, and I couldn't have felt more confident leaving her in Brittany's hands. While we were away, Bleu had a seizure, and Brittany handled it calmly and with excellent judgment. She stayed right with her, kept me informed throughout, and even sent me a video so I could see exactly what was happening. Being away in Mexico, it was enormously reassuring to know that if something unexpected happened, Brittany could handle it. She is incredibly conscientious and caring. She also went above and beyond by bringing in our mail and newspapers, taking out the trash, and even filling the bird feeder. I feel completely secure knowing Bleu is in her care, and that peace of mind when we're away is invaluable.

About: I’ve been taking care of pets since I was a kid and my family brought home our first dog! My wife and I are the go-to for our friends and family who need their pets watched. I have experience taking care of dogs of many sizes and needs, including ones with physical mobility issues and with medical problems requiring oral and topical medicine. As a part-time tutor, my days are free during the school year until around 3:00 with evenings occasionally unavailable. During days I only work one class, I will be able to spend time with your pet for most of the day. If I work more in a day I can still make plenty of time for meals and walks! I always adapt my care to the schedule that the pet is used to, making sure they get their food and walks when they’re used to it. When I take care of a pet at someone else’s home, I’m always sure to respect the space the way I’d expect someone to treat my own home!

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.

This was the first time we ever used the service for a week while we were away for vacation. From the first meeting with Alexis we knew Charlie would be in great hands. He had taken to her instantly and it was obvious her love for dogs. She kept us well informed throughout the week with text messages and plenty of pictures. Alexis was very respectful of our home and we returned to it as when we left it. It was such peace of mind knowing that Charlie was able to stay in his comfortable environment and keep his familiar schedule while we were away. Alexis was mindful and wanted to make sure Charlie kept to his familiar daily routine. She was an absolute pleasure to have worked with and we have no regrets. We will most definitely use her again in our next need . We would highly recommend her to anyone needed dog sitting. Thank you Alexis for taking such good care of Charlie!! The experience was more than we expected!!

Naomi is our pup’s favorite (and ours too!). She is so wonderful to work with and takes such amazing care of our dog and our home when we go away. She is always the first person we contact when we know we need someone to stay with our dog.

FAQs for House Sitting - Riverton

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of September 2026, there are 5,452 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.

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
  • 95% 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.
