“Mackenzie stayed with my two dogs and two cats overnight. The whole crew is used to my being around a lot so I knew I needed someone to stay here. I came home to happy animals who didn’t seem to miss me at all! I will definitely use her again.”
“We knew Haley was great the second we opened our front door and our smaller dog who does not trust strangers immediately was jumping and excited to meet her. Haley took great care of our pups, bird, and house. Mail was on the counter when we return and her towels were in the wash. I know my boys look forward to her visiting again!”
About: I grew up on a farm, so being around animals has always been a big part of my life. I’m a VetBloom Certified Veterinary Assistant, one of the few NAAVTA-approved programs, and I spent the summer working at a small animal hospital. I have experience with all kinds of animals and I’m comfortable handling everything from everyday care to the occasional high-maintenance personality. I’m reliable, experienced, and genuinely enjoy being around animals.! 🐶 Schedule I currently work part time from home, which gives me plenty of flexibility throughout the day. I love taking breaks to give your pup attention, playtime, walks, and companionship! Oops 😂 then definitely don’t claim that. We can make it about your approach to safety and caring for pets in their home, which is probably even better for Rover. 🐾 Schedule I currently work part time from home, so I have plenty of flexibility throughout the day. I love taking breaks to give your pup attention, playtime, walks, and plenty of companionship! 🏡 Safety, trust & environment I want every pet to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while they’re with me. I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine, feeding schedule, house rules, and any special instructions you provide. Or, if you want it to sound more personal and less professional: Your pet’s comfort and safety are my top priorities! I’ll take the time to learn their routine, personality, and needs so they feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away.
“Thank you so much! Darian was great with the pups and took care of both them and our house with the utmost care. She was also very responsive and really helped out us out of a jam, our sitter cancelled at the last minute and she stepped up and made it work!”
“Stayed with my dogs so they wouldn’t have to be cooped up while we traveled. It’s a relief knowing someone is there with them, particularly someone my dogs love! Will definitely be booking again!”
“Our 130# Newfoundland and cat were well taken care of. Communication was great, even using a different app since we were in Europe. Would not hesitate to use Charlotte again, she cared for our animals like they were hers.”
“Our pups LOVE Reina. She took wonderful care of them and made them feel comfortable while we were away. We came home to happy dogs and a super clean home! We will be using her again, JJ”
“Olga and Stepan took great care of both Loki my families cat and Rithie my dog. Asked very good questions on their care and comforted my dog when there was a thunderstorm :) I will absolutely be booking them agian”
“We can’t recommend Sara enough! She recently cared for our two dogs, Frankie and Lulu, as well as our fish, and went above and beyond by making sure the bird feeder was stocked for the wild birds. Her attentiveness and thoughtfulness were evident from day one. She sent us daily updates and plenty of pictures of Frankie and Lulu, which kept us reassured and connected while we were away. It was clear Sara treated our home and pets as if they were her own. Frankie and Lulu were happy and relaxed when we returned, and everything in the house was spotless. Knowing our pets were in such good hands made our time away completely stress-free. We’re so grateful for Sara and would absolutely trust her again in the future!”

About: I have been taking care of dogs and cats since high school! I am comfortable and familiar with multiple pets at once and even some more eclectic animals like reptiles (turtles and snakes). I would only be able to come to your house to pet sit or walk, I would not be able to bring pets to my apt. I would only be able to pet sit in your home as I live in an apartment where I am unable to bring animals into my space.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Riverton
Absolutely amazing sitter! Our usual sitter was unavailable and Janna stepped in for us almost last minute despite us being a new client. She came out that week to meet our little ones before we left. Janna was amazing! She took wonderful care of our menagerie and our house. Our fluffy gray stealth cat even warmed up to her - a first for him with any of our house guests. Everything was clean and tidy when we got home. And we were so grateful for the daily photos of our pups and cats having fun, cuddling, and relaxing, which helped us enjoy our long weekend and miss our little ones just a bit less. We’ll definitely be having Janna out again.

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 520 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:
- 97% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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.
