“Patrick did an outstanding job caring for our dog and home. He was attentive, responsible, and kept us well-informed with great communication throughout. Our dog was clearly well cared for, and we returned to a spotless house. We would not hesitate to book him again and highly recommend him to others.”
“Amelia took great care of our 2 golden retrievers Honey & Maple, and also left our house clean and cared for while we were away for a week. Would absolutely recommend to other owners in need of a sitter. Thank you again for everything, Amelia!”
“Autumn is amazing. My partner and I recently relocated to Pittsburgh with a trip previously planned for overseas. I was worried it would be difficult to find someone to watch our two kids (dogs) for two weeks, but Autumn was there for the rescue. She took amazing care of Butters our senior pup with limited mobility, as well as our younger pup Maeve. Autumn provided updates with photos to make sure that we were well informed while away. She also would reach out to clarify the laundry list of things they need, which I find comforting to know that she is going to make sure everything is going perfect. Our place was clean when we returned and everything looked just as we left it. I will be reaching out to Autumn in the future and recommend her to any parent.”
“Autumn and Addie did a great job with Mack and Aries, staying with them at my house for an extended weekend. I never have to worry about my huskies when they are at my home with them.”
“Tamkia was absolutely amazing with my dogs yet again! She went above and beyond and worked with me during the labor day weekend! My dogs love her so much they jumped in her arms when she came through my door. She will be the only dog sitter I get from now on!”
“Gabrielle took great care of our cats and was in constant communication with us about how they were doing, including cleaning up a plant that one had knocked over. She also sent lots of pictures which was appreciated.”
About: I've cared for dogs since I was young and have handled dogs both large and small. I've cared for cats since 2019, I am newer to them technically, but I love how different they can be. I run my own business, so making my own hours allows me a lot of wiggle room on doing check-ins or rearranging my day to allow for walks. My home is a temple to good vibes and my happy lil buddies (Sprout and Tansy) get along with everyone they've met so far.
“Michael was so amazing with our dog & cat. He sent us lots of pictures of our fur babies while we were away, took our dog on walks, for car rides & administered her daily medication. Michael was so flexible & understanding of my obsessive dog mom requests. We are so grateful to have had his help & will absolutely be having him sit for us again!”
“Natalie was great with our pup Finn. He ended up having a double ear infection and Natalie had no problem with administering his ear drops. She was super responsive and sent lots of pictures. Highly recommend Natalie and we have already booked her again!”
“Olivia was wonderful with our dog! She asked thoughtful questions on how to best care for her, and was very understanding of our dog being reactive around other dogs. She sent updates and pictures while we were away so we knew she was being well cared for. We would definitely book with Olivia again!”
“Lyla did a fantastic job taking care of my puppy. My dog is itty and needed lots of out door breaks and play. Lyla was able to accommodate to my puppy’s many puppy needs. I would absolutely use Lyla’s services again and would recommend her to anyone who needs support caring for their pet.”
“Third time having JaVae watch our pets at our home and another great experience. We trust her and she's so patient with our very anxious dog. Always a pleasure!”
About: I have been caring for all different animals since I was a young girl. I am comfortable with all sizes and breeds and happy to take on special needs cases as well. I am very flexible and reliable when it comes to caring for your babies. As long as I am free I’m open to last minute drop ins as I know life happens and sometimes we all need a little help. My dogs are like my babies. They live a better life than I do. When I’m in your home your babies will be treated like mine while respecting all rules in the house (whether they’re set you or your dogs) I am very comfortable reading dogs social cues and am willing to meet them at their pace and comfort levels.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Riverton
Olivia is fantastic! She took excellent care of our four cats, two dogs, and bearded dragon. She got to know each animal and was so respectful and reassuring that even our shyest pets were following her around during her visits! She was a welcome presence in our home, and we will definitely work with her in the future.
Kelly was amazing with my dog, Bucky! He is a little nervous around new people, but Kelly interacted with him in a way that allowed him to open up and be his goofy self. She was excellent at sending updates and pictures each time she visited. Her previous experience with rescues and nervous dogs allowed her to redirect Bucky when he exhibited reactivity on walks. Overall, a great experience.

FAQs for House Sitting - Riverton
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Riverton on Rover is $38.85 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 1,444 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:
- 87% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 91% 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.
