“Alexys did a great job with our kitten and puppy. She kept us updated on how they were doing. Our puppy is skittish around new people and things and she was able to win him over. She was also very professional and our home was as we left it. We will be using her again in a few days after having her here for the past week.”

“Greg was a fantastic pet sitter. He stayed overnight in our home with our three small dogs during our vacation, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. He was on time, great with communication, and consistently sent detailed updates and photos that kept us at ease. Our dogs loved him. Our senior dog with medical needs received extra patience and care. Greg followed every instruction, left our home immaculate, and went the extra mile to give each dog plenty of love. We’ll definitely be using him again in the future, and I recommend Greg to anyone looking in-home pet sitting.”

About: My extensive experience in pet care is founded on a deeply rooted love for animals and a commitment to providing top-notch service. What sets me apart from other sitters is my personalized approach tailored to each pet's unique needs and personality. Whether it's walking a puppy, or providing gentle care for senior pets, I have a versatile skill set that ensures every furry friend in my care receives the attention and support they deserve. My ability to adapt to various situations and my keen understanding of animal behavior enable me to create a safe and comfortable environment where pets thrive. Don't think I just stop at Cats and Dogs! I was a professional pet sitter for years and have watched and cared for Guinea Pigs, Hamsters, Fishes and a Pigeon (yes even a pigeon). I currently have 8 year old cat Begbie (gorgeous, grumpy and full of sass) 2 1/2 year old cat Dexter (always has his tuxedo on ready to crash events and full of spice) 3 guinea pigs (Norman, Joel and Donnie), they currently reside in their own room (with fences around the outlets), where they have plenty of room to forage, hide, run, whatever their tiny hearts desire. In essence, my passion for pets, sets me apart as a pet sitter who goes above and beyond to exceed expectations and provide peace of mind to pet owners. One of the biggest perks of having a flexible schedule right now? I have plenty of time to give your pets the attention they deserve! I currently have very flexible daytime/nighttime availability, which means I can accommodate a variety of pet-sitting needs, including drop-in visits, walks, feeding, playtime, and plenty of companionship. I’m also able to spend extra time with pets who need a little more attention or simply don’t enjoy being left alone for long periods. Need someone to stop by during the day? I’m your person! Have a pet who needs multiple visits? Let’s talk! Have a senior pet who needs a little extra TLC? Absolutely! Have a furry friend who thinks a 20-minute visit is simply unacceptable? I understand their demands. 😂 Because my schedule is flexible, I’m happy to work with you to create a routine that keeps your pets comfortable and maintains as much of their normal schedule as possible. Your schedule may be busy. Mine is currently wide open—and your pets are more than welcome to fill it! 🐶🐱🐹🐦 Availability varies by day and booking, so please reach out and let’s see what works best for you and your pets. Whether I’m caring for your pet in their home or caring for my own in our home, my number-one priority is making sure they feel safe, comfortable, loved, and completely spoiled—in the best possible way! I believe keeping their routine as normal as possible is key. I follow your instructions for feeding, medications, walks, litter box care, playtime, and any special routines your pet has. I also make sure they get plenty of attention and companionship because I know pets can miss their humans just as much as humans miss them. I pay close attention to behavior and look for anything unusual, such as changes in appetite, energy, bathroom habits, or mood. If something doesn’t seem right, I’ll let you know promptly. I’ll also treat your home with the same respect I would my own—clean, secure, and exactly as you left it. I have experience with cats and small animals and understand that every pet has a different comfort level. Some want to play, some want cuddles, some want to explore, and some would prefer to stare at me from across the room while silently judging my life choices. I respect all of these personalities! 😂 Most importantly, I don’t believe pet sitting is simply checking a box on a to-do list. It’s about building trust, providing companionship, following your pet’s routine, and making sure they feel happy and secure while you’re away. You enjoy your time away. I’ll handle the treats, belly rubs, zoomies, and occasional feline attitude. 🐾

“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.”

“We truly could not have asked for a better dogsitter. She cared for our Labrador, Skye, for 14 days while we were out of state for spring break, and she was an absolute blessing to our family. She treated Skye with so much tenderness and attention, walking her multiple times a day and making sure she was loved and comfortable the entire time. What meant the most to us, especially to my teen daughter, was how thoughtful she was with communication. She consistently sent updates, messages, and pictures, even texting my daughter directly so she wouldn’t miss Skye too much. Before leaving, she even left my daughter something special that included a Polaroid of Skye, that my daughter now keeps in her phone case. That level of care and compassion meant everything. And to top it all off, we came home to a clean, tidy house. She went above and beyond by picking up, washing Skye’s blankets, and even giving her a bath. As a mother of four (plus our dog!), walking into a clean home after travel was truly the highlight. She took initiative in ways we never expected and gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. We are beyond grateful and would recommend her without hesitation to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, responsible, and genuinely caring. Kim is a true gem. 🐾”

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.

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!

“Hanna was everything you’d want in a sitter. Communicative to your preference, experienced, caring, loving and cleanly! We immediately clicked with Hanna and so did the animals, most importantly. She took care of our two dogs and I could tell how happy they were just from the pictures. She was also extremely respectful and cleanly during her stay. I have two happy loved dogs and I can’t wait to rebook. Cannot recommended enough!”

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.
