“We LOVE how much Shalindra loves our dogs, and they love her! She keeps us thoroughly updated and sends plenty of pictures and videos so we know they’re doing well. She is someone who you know just adores spending time with dogs, which helps us know she’s enjoying her time with our pups, even if one of our dogs is insane haha. Highly recommend Shalindra if you want someone to truly enjoy hanging out with your pups and update you along the way.”

“John was an amazing sitter! Our dogs warmed up to him right away. You can tell he really likes animals. He was prompt, communicative, followed the care list and shared great updates everyday. We felt so at ease on our vacation knowing that John was taking such good care of them. We would absolutely have him house sit again. Thank you!”
“Stuart did an amazing job! Gizmo was well cared for and when he got into something on the street Stuart immediately called my vet to make sure he didn’t need to come in, then promptly checked in with me. Also left my apartment very clean!”
“Meiyee stayed with our two dogs over the New Year holiday. We added a new puppy to the crew in early December and needed someone that could handle a big energy 4 year old and a 4 month old. Meiyee was fantastic with both dogs, communicative and is someone we will rebook whenever we can.”
“Ali was great! Dogs seemed to like her and were in good spirits wheb we got home. Ali was very responsive whenever we checked in. Will definitely keep her in mind for the future!”
“Law has walked our two pugs a handful of times before but this is our first time having him stay for a few nights at our home - I can now see why he’s booked out so far in advance! We can’t thank you enough for taking such great care of our boys while we were gone out of town, including giving important medications and keeping their smushy faces all clean :) It was also awesome that you took them out to Alki beach - their favorite place! Would recommend to anyone and everyone we know. Thank you again! :)”
“Shelli was a great house sitter! She was on time, provided wonderful photos of her interactions with our dogs and clear communication while we were gone. We arrived home to happy dogs and a clean house. Would recommend as a house sitter and will hire again.”
“Ellie did a great job watching my high anxiety pup! She also was very respectful of my house and left things very clean. I would definitely have her back to watch my girl.”
“Frankie was an amazing pet sitter for our two cats, Ruth and Kingston, and our dog Zeke! This was the first time Zeke had a dog sitter and there was definitely and adjustment period for him but Frankie handled it incredibly well. She was patient, kind, and gentle with Zeke and they ended up having fun together! Frankie took great care of Kingston and Ruth as well. They can be shy as most cats are but Frankie was able to hang out and play with them throughout the weekend! Finally, Frankie went above and beyond in taking care of our house. We will definitely be using her again in the future!”
“Ravan was awesome! She took such good care of my dog while I was away, I didn’t have to worry about a thing. She took him for walks and to the park. Even my plants were watered!! I will absolutely book with her again and will recommend her to anyone looking for a thoughtful and caring sitter.”
“Lisa made our dogs feel safe and comfortable while house sitting and we felt completely at ease while she was caring for our dogs and providing daily update and pictures!”
About: I’ve been caring for cats, dogs, birds, rabbits, and many other animals for most of my life. I’ve had two wonderful dogs of my own, a Basset Hound and a Dachshund, who were a huge part of my heart. They were both pretty stubborn, so along the way I picked up some useful training skills as well. My schedule is flexible and can be adjusted with one week’s notice before the boarding date. Otherwise, I’m available anytime on weekends and weekdays after 5 p.m. I’m happy to coordinate and accommodate your scheduling needs whenever possible. I provide loving, attentive, and reliable care for every pet, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy in their own environment. I follow each pet’s routine for feeding, walks, playtime, and rest, while giving them plenty of affection and attention. I’m happy to follow specific instructions for medications, special diets, and individual needs. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident that your furry family member is in good hands. My goal is to make every pet feel loved, secure, and cared for while you’re away!
About: Hi! I'm Shirley, a passionate animal lover who believes every walk should be an adventure. Whether your pup loves a brisk walk, extra sniffing time, or plenty of belly rubs, I'm here to make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you're away. I'm reliable, attentive, and excited to get to know your furry family member. I can't wait to meet your best friend and become their new favorite walking buddy! I work from home, which allows me to give pets plenty of attention throughout the day. They won't be left alone for long periods and will receive regular potty breaks, exercise, playtime, and lots of love. I do my best to maintain their normal routine so they feel comfortable, safe, and right at home while you're away. In my home, your pet will be treated like part of the family. I have a fully fenced yard where they can safely enjoy outdoor time, along with plenty of playtime, attention, affection, and a comfortable place to relax. I'll follow your pet's usual routine as closely as possible so they feel safe and at home. For drop-in visits or care in your home, I'll make sure your pet has everything they need during each visit. This includes feeding, fresh water, potty breaks or walks, playtime, lots of love and attention, and, of course, plenty of cuddles if they enjoy them. I'll also follow any specific instructions you provide and send updates so you know your pet is happy and well cared for while you're away.
About: I grew up taking care of angsty chihuahuas and have since graduated to nannying large high energy hunting dogs. I have the capacity for any energy level and patience for any attitude. I currently have a lot of flexible availability throughout the week, with minimal commitments. I'm searching for full-time work and I have a lot of free time while I search for what's next for me. I can provide day time pet care services at a wide range of times as long as it is discussed a head of time. I can feed your animals, take them outside or for walks, or just hang out at home if that's what they would like. For higher energy dogs, I love going for hikes.
The median cost per night for house sitting in Riverton is $65
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Riverton
Brooklin is amazing! I have for years, had anxiety about leaving my fur babies while my husband and I travel. I refused to board my animals so it left me with few family and friends to reach out too. I took a chance on Rover and saw all of Brooklins reviews and once we met I understand why. She listened to how I take care of my pets and what makes them feel at home. She kept me updated every day with cute pictures and videos. She took my dog to the dog park and made sure my kitties got their treats everyday! If you are worried about having someone watch your animals and yiur house; reach out to Brooklin, she is the best!
Shirley did a great job of watching my boys Momo and Charlie during the day for 9 days while I was abroad with my family. She sent pics and gave me lots of updates. I came home and the dogs were happy and looked good. My roommate who was here in the morning and night didn’t even notice her, which was the plan! Would absolutely ask Shirley to watch my guys again!
Casey is amazing! She watched my kitten while I was out of town and took excellent care of her. Great communication. I felt at ease the entire time I was away. She left my home spotless. Highly recommend! It’s so nice to have someone you trust in your home with your pets.
Julie was AMAZING! I was very nervous as a first timer with both my house and fur baby. Julie made me feel at ease and provided the best care for both Amelia and our home. We got daily updates and pictures on how things were going which we greatly appreciated. We chose Julie because of her outstanding reviews and she totally lived up to them. I would 100% recommend Julie for house or dog sitting and she will be my go to person in the future for any upcoming needs. Amelia misses her now that we are home and was sitting by the door of our guest room this morning. She is defiantly the best experience I have ever had with dog sitting or boarding in the past 30 years. The Amelia and I were very happy with the experience.
Satsuki did an amazing job watching Eleanor! As a self-proclaimed anxious, helicopter dog mom, I always dread finding new sitters for my baby. However, Satsuki's excellent communication and vibe completely put me at ease after our meet and greet. She gave me daily updates and let me know the exact moment Eleanor received her medication. I loved getting the frequent photos and mood updates throughout my trip! On top of taking perfect care of my place, she was even kind enough to pick up a package for me. Satsuki is basically a spaniel expert now and truly understands the unique, quirky nature of these velcro breeds. I highly recommend her!
Becca was a wonderful sitter for our two dogs! She was responsible, tidy, and kept us well informed with regular updates while we were away. We felt completely comfortable trusting her with the dogs, and she made sure they were happy, comfortable, and well walked throughout her stay. One of our dogs needed daily medication, and Becca handled it perfectly. We’d definitely book Becca again and would happily recommend her!
Briana was amazing! She agreed to come by for a short visit before the booked time to meet George and get a walkthrough of his needs and the space, she was super friendly and kind and listened to my rambling list of things to know to take care of George. While I was gone, she sent frequent updates with pictures and descriptions of how he’d been and how they’d played together. George was happy and healthy when I came home and I’m so grateful that she kept him company and took care of him.

The average cost of House Sitting in Riverton is $64 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $30 and $106 per night.

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 , 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.
