About: with over 15 years of pet care, including a senior cat and a rescue dog with trauma, has taught me how to be patient, have empathy, and how to create a safe, loving space:) Currently, my flexible schedule prioritizes pet care. While completing minimal schoolwork at home, I devote most of my day to ensuring pets are safe, fed, and happy, drawing on years of experience with a senior outdoor cat and a rescued dog needing patient, attentive care. When caring for pets in my home, safety is my top priority. I have a secure backyard where dogs can enjoy fresh air and playtime. However since there are a few small gaps under the fence, i always use a leash-especially with small dogs-to nature they stay safe. The backyard fence however is tall with no gaps. Plus, i live in a great neighborhood (daybreak), which is perfect for walks and outdoor time. Weather im caring for pets in my home or yours, i make sure they feel comfortable, loved, and secure at all times. I tailor my are to each pets needs and always strive too maintain a calm, trustworthy environment.
About: I’ve loved dogs and cats for as long as I can remember and have had pets for most of my life. I have experience caring for my own dogs and cats, as well as pets belonging to family members. I understand that every pet has its own personality and routine, and I will always care for them with patience, kindness, and attention. Whether it’s feeding, walks, playtime, cleaning up after them, or simply keeping them company, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’ll also keep you updated with messages and photos so you can have peace of mind. I currently work part-time, which gives me flexibility to care for pets. I’m available for house sitting on Mondays and Tuesdays, and I’m also available during the daytime on Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays. My availability varies on weekends, but I always keep my Rover calendar updated so you can see when I’m available. I make sure every pet receives plenty of attention, exercise, companionship, and loving care. I’ll treat your pets like they’re part of my own family. I carefully follow each pet parent’s instructions and routine. I make sure pets have fresh water, meals on time, regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, and plenty of attention. I keep doors and gates secure, maintain a clean and safe environment, and send updates and photos so you always know how your pet is doing.
“Michelle was great! She watched our dog and cat while we were away for the weekend. She was super responsive and prompt and sent a ton of pictures. We will definitely be using her again!”
“I have a timid dog, Gene came over for the introduction and then came back an additional day, before our trip, to get more time with my boy. He even gave me one of his shirts to get Gaston use to his scent. He sent me pictures of the progress he made through out my trip. Overall very happy with his love and passion for animals. I will be booking with him again.”
“Amy was absolutely amazing with my dogs from December 16th to the 27th! She took such great care of them while I was away, constantly keeping me updated with pictures and messages that made me feel so reassured. It was clear my babies were happy, loved, and well cared for. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter, and I will definitely book with Amy again in the future!”
“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!!”
“Great communication. Was very flexible and accommodated our confusing work schedule and frequent schedule shifts. Dog seem relaxed and well fed. This is the first time my dog hasn't destroyed things in my home in a while. Would recommend sitter.”
“Tiffany did an amazing job for us. She spent the week with my cat and dog and she sent me updates and photos everyday. She was also quick to respond to my texts. I plan to hire her the next time we leave town if she isn’t already booked. You won’t go wrong with having Tiffany stay in your home with your pets.”
“Michelle was an exceptional house and dog sitter. She asked all the right questions to make sure she was prepared ahead of time, communicated quickly and clearly, sent in-depth updates every day, and took amazing care of Stella and our home. Highly recommend!”
“Justine was awesome - she took such good care of our babies and our home!! They were immediately comfortable with her and she sent us tons of pictures. Highly recommend...as long as you don't snag her when we need her!! Lol”
“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.”
“Meisha is our go-to sitter and always does SUCH an incredible job taking care of our babies! Most recently, she stayed at our apartment to watch our cat and pup for a few days while we were out of town. I always get the cutest photos and updates from Meisha, and you can really tell she spoils them like they are her own ☺️ Really can’t recommend her enough!”
“Kirk was wonderful with our two poodles. He sent lots of pictures and took them on plenty of hikes giving these two active dogs the exercise they need. The house was spotless upon our return. Highly recommend!”
“Mark is the best! I really could not imagine a better person to take care of my dog and house sit. He is very consistent with updates on how my dog is doing as well as being very capable of taking care of a house.”
“I feel so lucky I found Alexus to dogsit for us while away visiting family. I have two lab mixes that she quickly bonded with, even my timid dog who is very weary of strangers. They were snuggling and playing together within a day or two, I was (happily) shocked! One of our dogs got sick right before we had to leave on our trip, and Alexus took such good care of her and was always willing to go the extra mile for us when our dog needed to go to the vet while we were out of town. She was communicative and sent us daily photos and videos which I loved. She's the best!”
About: I’ve cared for dogs and cats of all sizes and personalities, from energetic puppies to mellow seniors. I’m patient, dependable, and make sure every pet feels safe, loved, and comfortable while their owners are away. I pay attention to routines and special needs, whether that means extra walks, medication, or quiet cuddle time. I’m also experienced with anxious pets and use calm, consistent energy to help them feel at ease. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I enjoy staying active, so walking dogs or checking in for playtime is something I look forward to every day. My schedule is flexible, which means I can adjust visits and walks around each pet’s needs, whether it’s a consistent morning walk, afternoon playtime, or evening check-in. I always make sure every pet gets plenty of attention, exercise, and care, no matter how busy the week is. When I care for pets, safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I take time to learn each pet’s routine, preferences, and any special instructions before each visit. In a client’s home, I keep everything clean, secure, and consistent with how the pet is used to living, which means sticking to their feeding schedule, regular walks, and familiar play routines. I always double-check doors, leashes, and gates, and I never leave pets unattended outside. I believe in building trust through patience, respect, and gentle communication, so your pet feels comfortable and happy the whole time you’re away.
“Diana is a young professional and loves her job. She was willing to meet in advance and do an interview and meet our little guy, we instantly felt good about her. We’ve been through a number of pet sitters, and Diana is our favorite. She will house-sit & send photos/videos while you’re away and she’s able to stay with your baby for the majority of the day!”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Riverton is $45

Thank you so much Callie for taking amazing care of our English Bulldog and two kittens. I’m an anxious momma and I felt so safe leaving them with her. She gave amazing updates throughout the stay and left our house so so clean. I can’t wait for you to watch my babies again soon!
Kathryn watched our dog, staying overnight with him for over a week. She sent pictures and gave frequent T updates. He seemed to really enjoy his time with her. She went above and beyond, giving him extra special treats and taking him on walks (we usually don’t have dog care givers do walks since he can be leash/dog reactive). We came home to a tidy space and a happy dog. We’d love to use her again for our next trip out of town.
Amanda was fantastic! Honest, reliable, and wonderful with our two cats — including our kitten, who no doubt gave her a run for her money. She was the perfect house guest, staying with us for a full 20 days while we traveled across the country for a wedding in Vermont and a birthday celebration in Florida. On top of house-sitting and looking after our 20+ plants, she sent adorable cat photos throughout the day and followed all of my (admittedly very detailed) instructions to the letter. Would 100% book her again!
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!!!
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Riverton on Rover is $44.4 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 2,737 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.

- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 97% 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.
