About: I've been a pet care professional since 2016. It is the best job ever! Dogs are adorable and hilarious, yes, but the part I really love is trying to understand the motivations behind each dog. I know, food and walks, duh! But since adopting my high-anxiety dog 6 years ago, I have realized there is so much more to the doggie brain. Dog park trips are like an anthropological study for me!! I like to think I'm the Jane Goodall of dogs; I'm flattered when they confuse me for one of their own. Living among the canines has come very naturally to me, and frequently worry about the diminishing appeal of the human world. My mother has legitimate concerns that I'll never find a husband. Some have called me a dog whisperer, to which I say "Have you ever met a dog that whispers?" You can think of me more like a translator. Booking with me helps fund my education so that I can one day save the world. My dream is to help troubled kids find the peace and compassion that I have found in my love for animals. I currently work from home and have open availability. If your dog cannot be left alone, they won't be. My own dog does not like to be separated from me, thus I'm comfortable arranging my life around the needs of dogs!! I use extreme care in assessing the environment to experience it the way your dog is, thus better understand behaviors and antecedent cues, and what is reinforcing the behavior.
About: I have taken care of my close friends and families many cats and dogs of different breeds and amazingly different personality types for at least the last 15 years. Who doesn't love an exuberant leg rub hello from a lovey kitty or a jumping puppy who loves to give kisses? However, keep in mind I do have a special skill set with both cats and dogs that are very unsure of new people. When I enter an animals home I actively ignore shy animals, sit quietly and let them come to me on their own terms. I have a strong understanding of those classic stress signals, the cute but warning whale eyes, the lip licking (and not because they are hungry) and flat ears. I am also versed in diabetic care for cats as well. I am comfortable with large breed dogs and have experience with German Shepherds and Bully Breeds. In addition I am willing to wear an N95 as needed for any immune compromised needs. Looking forward to meeting your adorable animals! I currently work week days but I am free in the afternoon and evenings Monday-Friday starting at 3:30pm and have open flexibility on most Federal Holidays, Saturdays and Sundays. I will be coming to you and your pet to provide the upmost familiarity and comfort for them. I have a calm slow approach and let shy animals come to me to acclimate. I am a pro at following specific instructions you might request because every pet is as unique as their people are and deserve the best. I am familiar with basic cat and dog first aid and have emergency vet numbers saved.
“Truly a perfect experience! Carrianne dropped in on our kitty 2 times a day for almost a week. Every drop-in she stayed for the entire 30 min duration and kept our lil guy fed and entertained. She went above and beyond with communication and photos and even came by extra early in the morning before she had to go to work. Thank you SO MUCH for peace of mind while we were away on our trip and thanks for taking such good care of Odin.”
“Frankie (Kali goes by Frankie) did an amazing job with Popeye's drop in visits. She was communicative and took lots of cute pics and even videos. Our initial meeting was great and our puppy loved her. She was very knowledgeable about the quirks of puppies and I felt much better leaving him at home for the first time knowing that she'd be checking up on him. I highly recommend Frankie!”
“This was my first time using Rover and Harley made it such a great experience! She was friendly, responsive, on time and took good care of all 4 of our babies. 10/10 will book again! Thank you Harley :)”
About: Hi there! I go by Jackson (previously also gone by Esther), and I have been taking care of pets my whole life. Now I live on my own and would love to care for your sweet pet! I am able to handle very large dogs and am comfortable with cats as well. I grew up with 3 large dogs, and I now have a large dog of my own. I am free most week days, so I am flexible and able to work with your work schedules. I do work early mornings most days, but that won’t stop me from giving your pet the care and attention they deserve. The happiness of animals is so important for me, and I hope to be able to meet your lovely pets! I foster dogs through a great organization so I know how to care for dogs with all kinds of temperaments. I am currently looking to house sit, take care of your pup in my own home, or walk your dog on weekends! I have a sweet dog who loves a playmate, and we'd love to keep your dog company while you're away for a night or two! See my calendar for most up to date availability. I want your pet to be as comfortable and happy as possible while you're out. Whether playing, walking, or just keeping them company, I'd love to take care of your pets to your and their liking.
About: My biggest wish as a kid was to own a big dog, I now have 4 huskies (40-80lbs) and a chihuahua. I have 8 years with them now and have seen it all. I have learned all about their body language and how they communicate. Ill be comfortable even if you have a reactive dog. we can work together if they are in training. I am an early bird. I'm up at 5, ready scripture, walk my dogs and ready by 7am. Now that my kid is in school I'm free till 3 pm I have experience with heavy pullers, if your dog pulls its no biggie to me. I can take my time for the dogs that like to smell and/or run if you have a puppy with energy!
About: My name is Lily, UW & Uni. of Notre Dame graduate (very responsible and ambitious). I have a background working in special events and professional/collegiate sports industry. I work a lot so I don't own any pets but I will be extremely great with your puppy and will absolutely commit to you if I promise to show up. Dog drop-in and walks, I can come on the weekdays after 5pm and anytime during the weekends. Fun facts: born in Vietnam, raised in Seattle. I have never missed a Seahawks home games in 13 seasons. I have raised the American Flag on top of the Space Needle. 29 years old. Very social but feel free to tell me to stop talking! Can't wait to meet you!
About: I have taken care of pets for friends and family for many years, checking in on pets from cats, dogs, birds, and sugar gliders. I’ve mainly cared for dogs out of the lot, but am comfortable with each. I currently work at a K12 after school program and am going back to school for my MA in counseling, and am looking to care for pets over the weekend as a lovely break from the weekly routine. I would love to walk dogs, check in a on pet, or do overnight care. My current landlord does not allow pets, so I am looking to get my puppy loving fix through caring for them on weekends 🥰 I love to take time to build a bond with your pet, so more I am open to a building a consistent schedule if you are looking for someone regular. I am comfortable with a range of dogs and sizes, and am comfortable with all types of care including feeding, bathing, walking, and more.
“Carly was great! I booked with her last minute after my other pet care had fallen through. She was super accommodating and easy to coordinate with! I really appreciate how communicative and reliable she was!”

Jeannie goes above and beyond. I can’t say that enough. She took such good care of our kitty!! She’s played games with her and gave her so much love and attention. She also did extra things while we were away, even asked if she could take the trash out for us on trash day! She’l thinks of everything and is so thoughtful! It didn’t take long for our cat to warm up to her and we feel so much better about leaving knowing our cat is under the care of Jeannie. Thank you Jeannie!!!
Harley was amazing and I definitely would use her again to watch my cat on our next trip. She was always timely in replying to messages and arrived when she said she would. I felt that she took great care of my cat and was able to administer his meds. I appreciated the extra time she spent for a meet and greet. It really help me to feel comfortable leaving my pet in her care
Kizzie always does an incredible job with our cats. We have cats with digestive issues, when that needs medicine each feeding, and an elderly cat. Not only does Kizzie take great care of their needs, but she will often go above and beyond. Highly recommend for anyone needing pet care.
I cannot begin to express how amazing Hailey is! On her last booking with me my kitty got very sick, she took initiative and made sure she got to the vet emergency room and kitty ended up needing emergency surgery. Some other pet sitters may not have been so observant or disregarded what was happening. I truly believe she saved my kitty's life. Hailey is an absolute Angel and I am so grateful for her!
Stephanie took great care of my 3.5 month old mini dachshund puppy (Siggi) for a few hours while I had to be away. Stephanie was prompt, communicative, and followed instructions. Best of all, she and Siggi got along very well and I'm glad he has a new reliable friend!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Riverton is $24 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $37 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 12,834 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Riverton. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Riverton. On Rover:
- 86% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 91% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 93% 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.
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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
