“Samantha was so great! She was helpful and thoughtful taking care of things in our home based on situations that arose and used great common sense (a shockingly rare quality these days!). Our dog was happy and well cared for. Would absolutely book her again!”
“This was our first time using Jessica, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From the moment we met her, we felt comfortable and knew our dogs were in good hands. She was incredibly communicative throughout our trip and never made me feel like I was being a worry wart. She understood that leaving your pets with someone new can be stressful and was always kind, responsive, and reassuring. Jessica took excellent care of our dogs, especially our French Bulldog, who requires extra attention in the Utah heat. She clearly took her responsibilities seriously, made sure they had plenty of potty and outdoor breaks, cleaned up after them, and paid close attention to their needs. She also took great care of our home, brought in our packages, and left everything just as we had hoped. We truly lucked out finding Jessica. We would absolutely book with her again without hesitation and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy Rover sitter.”
“We have had amazing dog sitters before so I’m not sure how it is possible but she tops everyone we have had. I have such peace of mind when we are away, she does everything we ask her to do and communicates well. I can literally go away and not stress over how our three dogs are cared for. She is most definitely our go to.”
“Lori was just fantastic! She took care of our dog so well. She would send updates each day with pictures on how things are going. That gave us peace of mind knowing she’s taking care of our pup. I would recommend her to anyone needing a dog sitter.”
“Sharon did a fantastic job watching Hank and Milo in my home. She followed all instruction given and sent many cute photos of the dogs during her stay. I came back to a clean home and very happy dogs. I would definitely hire her again!”
“Theresa was awesome! From the beginning her communication was great, when she came to meet with Dolly and my wife and I it was very clear that she wanted to know about Dolly and her routine, and it very obvious that she loves dogs…as soon as she showed up Dolly had made a new friend. She sent great photo updates and left our home exactly as it was when she showed up to house sit. I absolutely hope to have her help us again in the future. Thanks Theresa!”
“I just had experience with Katie who stayed at the house and watched the pups! She is great and absolutely no complaints and the pups enjoyed her as well. Definitely recommend!!”
About: I’ve had pets for all of my 30 years and have learned how to give shots, medications, and special diets. From puppies/kittens to elderly dogs/cats. I love all animals the same, and care for them as I would my own. I am looking for a part time gig here. I’m available almost any days and times as long as I get a weeks notice :) I will provide a safe, quiet, patient energy, or a playful and fun environment depending on your pet’s needs. I will never leave them unattended and always be aware of unsafe areas. I will give their medication and shots correctly every time if needed.
“We had an excellent experience. She took care of our German Shepherd and Husky for six days and everything went smoothly. She followed instructions, communicated well, and our dogs were happy and well cared for. Highly recommend and would definitely use her again.”
About: I have hands on experience caring for dogs through walking, in home sitting, while following routines that help our doggos feel safe. What sets me apart is my reliability, clear communication, and the care I take to understand each dog's individual needs, personality, and comfort level rather than treating visits as rushed check-ins. I intentionally structure my daily and weekly routine around pet care, allowing flexibility for walks, check-ins, and in home sitting while ensuring each dog receives reliable, unrushed attention. When caring for pets in a clients home, I treat both the pet and the space with the same respect I would want someone to show mine. I take time to learn each dog's routine, preferences, and any special instructions so they feel comfortable and secure while away. Safety is always my top priority. I double check doors, gates, leashes, and feeding instructions, and I stay attentive during walks and potty breaks to avoid stressful or unsafe situations. I keep a calm, consistent energy so pets feel at ease, especially those who experience anxiety when their owners are away. I'm mindful of your home environment as well, I keep things clean, follow house rules closely, and leave your space just as I found it (or better). I provide regular updates and photos so you always know how your pet is doing and can relax knowing they're in good hands. My goal is simple: for your pet to feel safe, cared for, and happy - and for you to feel confident trusting me in your home.
“Haydyn is such a wonderful sitter! She’s very kind, keeps you updated with pictures of your pets, and was available with a short notice. Our puppies adored her, she played with them, gave them belly rubs, cuddled them(they love attention and cuddles), she was a perfect pick for them. Our cat who has a lot of attitude and usually hides from anyone who is not my husband and I, loved her too! She was hanging out around her all weekend and loved getting to know Haydyn, which meant SO MUCH for us and definitely made us feel like we found the best sitter. We will be rebooking with her in the future and I know all our pets will be so happy to see her again. 100% recommend booking with Haydyn.”
“Sienna was amazing! She came over to meet us beforehand and met all of our expectations while we were gone. She was great at communicating and very detail oriented. She noticed our small dog wasn’t eating all of her meals and checked in with us to make sure we weren’t concerned. Our house was exactly as we left it when we got home, very clean, and our dogs were in great spirits. I feel confident they were well cared for and I highly recommend sienna!”
“Amy has been a wonderful sitter for us. I feel at ease with her at the house and staying with the dogs. She keeps us well informed with pictures and messaging as to how they are doing. I highly recommend Amy if you are looking for a wonderful, caring pet sitter that will take good care of your animals.”
“Anna is delightful and we are so glad to have found her. Our dogs were comfortable with her immediately She is responsible and a great communicator. She left our home in great shape- above and beyond Definitely 5 stars!”

Melisa has been fabulous! I really recommend her to watch your pet. Really nice to talk to, sends the cutest pictures and videos My Winston really loved her and snuggled with her every minute he got a chance to, Winston was one of her own and treated him like her own as well! I would recommend 100 stars for her! Thank you so much Melisa
Sharon was absolutely wonderful! She took great care of my dog, Roger, and stayed at my home while I was away. She kept me updated the entire time with messages and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind. She followed all of my instructions carefully, and I could tell Roger was happy and well cared for. I’m so grateful I found such an amazing dog sitter. I highly recommend Sharon and would definitely book with her again!
Samantha was amazing with my cats.. I have 2 cats, one is super loving and the other is very stand off-ish with everybody he meets… until now. Samantha formed a bond that nobody else has ever been able to form with him.. and I’m super appreciative that she took the time to get to know his personality and grow from there. Samantha did absolutely everything I asked her to do and even offered to do things that I hadn’t thought of. I would highly recommend her to care for your pups and / or feline babies! I will rebook with her in the near future!!!
Cassie was absolutely incredible, and I cannot recommend her enough! Leaving our two dogs, Rigatoni and Ravioli, is never easy, but Cassie gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. From the moment she started caring for them, it was obvious how much love, attention, and care she poured into every day. She sent us so many wonderful photos and updates, which meant the world to us and allowed us to see just how happy and comfortable our pups were. She spent time cuddling with them, playing with them, taking them outside frequently, and making sure they got plenty of walks and exercise. It was clear from every update that Rigatoni and Ravioli were having the best time and receiving lots of affection. Coming home to happy, relaxed dogs and a beautifully maintained home was the greatest gift. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, attentive, responsible, and genuinely loving with animals, Cassie is the one. We will absolutely be booking with her again! Thank you, Cassie, for taking such wonderful care of our fur babies and our home! ❤️🐾
Kate did an amazing job watching our dogs while we were away! She was incredibly attentive, communicative, and clearly cared for them like they were her own. We came home to two very happy, well-cared-for pups and had total peace of mind the entire time thanks to her updates and photos. She went above and beyond, and we could tell our dogs absolutely loved her. We would 100% book with Kate again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter!
Sienna was amazing! She came over to meet us beforehand and met all of our expectations while we were gone. She was great at communicating and very detail oriented. She noticed our small dog wasn’t eating all of her meals and checked in with us to make sure we weren’t concerned. Our house was exactly as we left it when we got home, very clean, and our dogs were in great spirits. I feel confident they were well cared for and I highly recommend sienna!

FAQs for House Sitting - Riverton
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Riverton on Rover is $44.4 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 2,758 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.

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.
