“Rachel did a wonderful job caring for our pets. She was prompt every morning and made sure our oldest cat received her medication along with some extra love and attention. She even managed to win over our youngest, who is usually very shy around new people. As first-time Rover users, this was a fantastic experience, and we couldn’t be happier with the care Rachel provided.”
“Emma came to take our dogs out while we were away for the day. She sent pics both times, one of which is my new favorite picture of Ollie. We will not hesitate to book Emma again.”

“I can’t be more grateful to Nattalie for her care. She was absolutely amazing in every single way and gave me ease will traveling. My dog was happy and loved her. I will definitely keep using her services A+”
“Second time Amanda has looked after our 2 cats. She has always been extremely responsive, courteous and treats ours pets like they were her own. We are able to leave without worry they will be well cared for. Couldn’t recommend enough.”
“Kyle was awesome for us. She did numerous drop in visits over Christmas break. Was at the house when she said every time and stayed the full 30 minutes. She made sure they were outside playing the entire time too. We asked her while we were gone if she could make a few more visits than we had originally planned and she was more than willing to accommodate our needs. We were very greatful for her help and will definitely use her again in the future if she is available. The dogs loved her from the second she walked in. Couldn't be more pleased!”

“We CANNOT say enough good things about Maya!!

We will be recommending Maya to our friends & will be/already have booked her again!”
“Christine was attentive and so professional. Really glad she was able to do some drop in visits and keep are dog company while we traveled for the day. She was very easy to communicate with and I would highly recommend.”
“Francesca did an exceptional job with our two huskies during her recent drop-in visits! From the moment we met her, it was clear she had a genuine love for dogs. She was punctual, professional, and kept us updated with photos and messages throughout the day. Our huskies took to her immediately, and we could tell they were well cared for and happy. Francesca went above and beyond our expectations, ensuring they had plenty of playtime in the backyard. We couldn't have asked for a better sitter and highly recommend her services!”
About: I currently live with 2 dogs and 3 cats and I previously lived with 10 animals (3 dogs, 3 cats, two ferrets, and two guinea pigs). I love giving love to any animals and believe their lives are as great as we make it for them. I'm free all summer until I start college in September. I partake in community theater on Tuesdays and Wednesdays and spend Fridays with my family! While I do not offer service in my own home, I will gladly give love and attention to your fur baby in your own home. If your animal is okay going out in public, I will happily take them to a park! I make sure to keep my eye on your animal at all times and will make sure they are safe and comfortable at all times. I'm also an artist and I'd love to draw your fur baby while I take care of them!

Before Katherine, we had only ever left our dog, Xena, with family. Even then, she would often come home a little out of sorts because she was most comfortable in our home and loves her routine. When a friend who was supposed to stay at our house had a last-minute emergency, I had to find other arrangements for Xena on short notice. After visiting several boarding facilities, I knew I couldn't leave her there. Someone suggested Rover, but the thought of having a stranger come into my home when we weren't there to take care of my dog made me nervous. I read a lot of reviews, and Katherine's profile stood out. The photos she shared of her family loving the dogs she cared for won me over. Her many 5-star reviews and many repeat customers gave me confidence that she was someone special. I sent her a message, she came to visit with our family and we knew we found our person for this trip and the future. Katherine's Rover Cards were fun to read, thoughtful, and often made me smile or laugh because she seemed to understand Xena's personality so well. It was clear that Xena wasn't just being watched...she was being loved. Katherine is kind, responsible, communicative, and loves animals. I was truly able to enjoy my time away knowing my dog was happy and safe. I will absolutely be using Katherine again and would recommend her to anyone looking for exceptional care for their pet.
Bobby was great! He was extremely responsive from start to finish. I requested a booking pretty last minute and he came by next day to meet the pups. My dogs immediately liked him and he was so good with them. I will 100% be booking with Bobby the next time I need assistance.
Norah is a reliable and trustworthy dog sitter. She was respectful of my property and took great care of my dog while I was away. Most importantly, she showed genuine love and kindness toward my dog. I truly appreciated her help and would gladly recommend her to anyone looking for a responsible and caring sitter. 🐾😊
Nakisha was amazing! She was always on time and very dependable. She even stopped by before the scheduled dates to meet the dogs, which gave me peace of mind before my trip. I left detailed instructions, and she followed everything perfectly without needing to reach out. If you’re going out of town and want someone reliable so you don’t have to worry, Nakisha is the perfect dog walker. Highly recommend! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Once again, Sherri has taken great care of our dog Pico. Even on short notice, she has been very accommodating. With all of my health issues, it is hard to make plans too far out, so her flexibility has been very valuable to us. Pico seems to like Sherri as well. 💜

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Riverview stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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 Riverview 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!
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Riverview with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Riverview. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 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.
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.
