“She is absolutely amazing! She keeps me very informed during her time with Duchess. She plays a lot with her and it shows from how tired she is when we get back! She is so kind and a good sitter! Definitely use her!”
“We have never used a boarding /dog sitting service before . Never left our dog with someone who wasn’t a family member so I was so apprehensive, but meeting Dana put my nerves at ease instantly! And my dog immediately loved her! She was wonderful and I HIGHLY recommend!”
“Ashley was a fantastic pet sitter. She watched our dog a bird over the holiday and could not be happier. Can not go wrong with trusting Ashley with your pet, we will 100% be using her again”
“I will definitely be using Rich again for a puppy sleepover. He was great with communication and asked appropriate questions. Very reliable and trustworthy. Needed a last minute change while booking and he was extremely understanding and flexible. I felt at ease with all the adorable photos he sent of my fur baby. Definitely recommend. Also, went above and beyond what I asked. Thank you Rich!”
“Trevor was wonderful during a not so great time for my pup. Burt was in post op recovery and Trevor was able to take great care of him, provided daily updates, took him for his stroller rides and gave him his meds so he can rest up.”
“Alexis was incredibly kind and understanding. We had a dog sitter cancel and she agreed to help with our brother’s dog alongside ours on Thanksgiving day. She took good care of the boys and was good at updating us.”
About: I’ve been taking care of animals since I can remember, however, a few years ago I took over on my own. My mom and I would watch animals for neighbors, family, and friends, and I’m honored to take over that roll for the both of us as a responsible, reliable, and caring pet sitter. I’m a college student, so I’m typically in Blackwood from 8:30 am to 2:00. I also have a morning weekend job in haddon heights, but that is no longer than 5 hours every other weekend or so. My pets at home are loved, happy, and healthy. Their safety is more important than my own, actually. I believe that you should leave a space nicer than you found it, which is why I’m a fantastic house guest. I will always respect your space
“Amanda was great. We have two cats that don't get along all the time and she was there the entire time just to make sure they didn't get into. Thankfully her calming presence kept them from ever getting into. She played with them and sent frequent updates. I will definitely be using her in the future.”
“I've had Peter petsit for a year or two now, and he's fantastic. He's responsive, timely, trustworthy, and communicative. You can tell he really cares about the animals and treats them like family. Peter goes above and beyond, and he's helped us with a crisis or two while we were out of town. He did really well with my reactive dog (who loved him despite being aloof with most people) as well as my new puppy. Peter is my go-to for pet care and once you hire him, I'm sure he'll be yours too!”
“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!”
“We've never left our kitties alone for more than a day or two and when we had to take a longer trip, we asked Porsche to take care of them while we were gone and it was a great experience. Normally whenever we're gone for too long, it's clear that they're stressed. When we got back this time they were totally chill, very "You were gone? Oh, we didn't notice. I'm going back to my nap now." It's was clear from their behavior that she took wonderful care of them and gave them lots of attention. Highly recommend Porsche and will be asking her to take care of them in the future if she's willing.”
“Absolutely fabulous sitter who truly goes above and beyond. She is incredibly detailed, thorough, and very responsive. I returned to an even cleaner home than when I left and her care for my senior dog is so evident in the way he loves her. He hates to see her leave. Hands down the best sitter I’ve ever had, my only wish is I found her sooner !”
About: For the past 10 years, I’ve taken care of not only my family dogs, but my neighbors’ cats and dogs. Most pets tend to take a liking to me from the start, which makes this less of a job and more of something that I enjoy doing. I’m currently working full-time 9-5 Mon-Fri so… House sitting: Strictly weekends starting Friday nights going into Sunday night Drop-in visits & Dog walking: Anytime after 5:30pm Mon-Fri & full availability on Sat and Sun Having previous work experience caring for animals allows me to truly understand the level of attention that needs to be given to your pets. I can ensure your pets’ safety and well-being in my presence, while also providing a mentally and physically stimulating time for them
“So glad Sareyah was able to help us out with Oliver despite the short notice! She took great care of him, was able to administer his meds successfully, and was very communicative and responsive with us throughout our time away. We’ll definitely hope to work with her again in the future and highly recommend her to others in the meantime!”
About: When I was 9 or 10, I had a beloved pet that we sadly had to give away due to a tough moving situation. Years later, we were lucky to bring Charlie home and Marvel, and they have been cherished members of our family for a few years. As a remote college student, I understand how important it is to find reliable help for your pets. I'm here for you and available to pet sit any day of the week or over the weekend. Your furry friends will be in good hands! I can walk your dog every 2-3 hours to ensure they get the exercise and attention they need. Additionally, I have a fenced yard with cameras for safety, where they can play. My own dog, Charlie, a friendly, neutered, vaccinated maltipoo, would love to have a companion to share some fun with! And Cocker spaniel named Marvel (he isn’t neutered yet due to age) who is also vaccinated.
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. 🐾
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’ve grown up with dogs and cats my whole life, my sisters will ask me to watch them if they are away and I have two cats I work full time 9-5 but have plenty of time in the morning and evenings. I am also available on the weekends. I also work from home on Fridays so my day is flexible I take care of two cats at my house, I have helped friends and family with pet sitting their dogs, giving them company and taking them on walks
“Bill was absolutely outstanding. He stayed at our place while we’re out of the country for a little over a week. He took incredible care of our two golden retrievers and sent many updates and pictures of them. He was prompt and took great care of our house while we were away. We will definitely be booking Bill again for his services!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Riverton
This was the first time that we've left our boy, Finn, at home with a sitter. Amy was great! She adapted to our slight changes in plans, with us having gotten stuck at the Jersey shore during a Nor' Easter. Great communication and left the house spotless and the dog happy! We highly recommend Amy!
Ashley was fantastic with our two doggies! They were well taken care of and loved during our time away. We appreciated her efforts especially with our senior dog and ensuring she was let outside frequently. We would recommend her services, and plan to rebook in the future. Thank you!
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.

FAQs for House Sitting - Riverton
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 5,423 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 , 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 .
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 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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
