About: I have shadowed at a vet clinic for over two years now gaining hands on experience on the care of small animals. I have also worked and volunteered at Clearwater Marine Aquarium where animal husbandry and rehabilitation was the main focus. I have also frequently made drop-in visits for friends to take care of their pets. I am available to work all day Mondays and Wednesdays. I am also available on the weekends before 3 pm. Very flexible with my schedule and availability. For my pets I ensure they are on heart worm/flea prevention. They are both completely vaccinated. I also ensure they have a clean area and fresh water/food every day. I maintain their grooming myself with weekly ear cleans, teeth brushing, etc.

About: My approach to pet sitting is centered around patience, safety, affection, and making each pet feel comfortable and cared for. I treat every animal in my care like family and do my best to maintain the routines, boundaries, and care instructions that their pet parents have established. Your pet will be treated like part of the family and have their individual routine and needs respected. Depending on their personality and care instructions, they’ll enjoy plenty of playtime, walks, exercise, affection, and opportunities to relax and feel comfortable. Safety & Environment Your pet’s safety and comfort are always a top priority in my home. I provide a safe, welcoming environment with two spacious patios and plenty of grass for supervised outdoor time, play, and exercise. Pets are never left without someone available to care for them—we work as a team, and either my husband or I will be present and attentive to their needs throughout their stay. With your permission and depending on your pet’s comfort level and routine, I can also take them to a local dog park for additional exercise and socialization. I follow each pet parent’s instructions carefully and make sure every pet receives the supervision, attention, and care they need to feel secure and at home.

About: I’ve been caring for animals my entire life, growing up with dogs, cats, and even horses, gaining hands-on experience throughout my childhood and adulthood. With 30 years of experience, I’ve cared for all types and sizes of dogs, from tiny and adorable Miniature Chihuahuas to big, friendly giants like Mastiffs. I’m comfortable with feeding, walking, bathing, administering medications and supplements, and providing attentive everyday care while treating each pet as the family member and friend they are. I’m dependable, patient, and attentive to each pet’s individual needs and personality. Whether your dog needs a walk, a potty break, some playtime, or extra companionship while you’re away, I provide reliable, compassionate care from paws to hooves! I’m currently available during the daytime on weekdays while my kids are at school, making me flexible for dog walks and drop-in visits throughout the day. My schedule is built around morning school drop-off and afternoon pickup, with a short window reserved for pickup each afternoon. I’m dependable with scheduling and will make sure your pet receives the attention, exercise, companionship, and care they need while you’re away. I’m happy to discuss specific timing, routines, and the number of visits your pet may need so we can create a schedule that works well for both you and your dog. Whether you need a midday walk, a potty break, or multiple drop-in visits throughout the day, I’ll do my best to accommodate your pet’s routine and make sure they’re happy, comfortable, and well cared for. For dog walks and drop-in visits, I care for your pet in the environment they know and feel comfortable in. I carefully follow your instructions regarding feeding, medications, walks, potty breaks, and any special needs. I’m attentive to doors, gates, leashes, and other safety details, and I’ll make sure your dog is secure before leaving. I’ll also treat your home with the same care and respect I would want for my own. I’m happy to provide updates during visits so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is safe, cared for, and getting plenty of attention while you’re away.

About: Although I’m new to Rover, I’ve regularly cared for my family’s dogs, including feeding, walking, potty breaks, and playtime. My parents’ outdoor dogs get so excited to see me, they race just to greet me! I can take care of your beloved pet Monday through Friday, from 11AM-7PM. I can provide multiple walks and drop-ins throughout the day. Feel free to contact me to discuss care schedules! Your pet’s safety comes first. I will carefully follow your instructions for feeding, medication, walks, and your pet’s routine. During walks, I use the equipment and walking routine you provide while keeping a close eye on your pet and their surroundings. I never introduce your pet to unfamiliar animals without your approval. I respect your home and follow your instructions regarding doors, gates, crates, and other safety precautions. I’ll also send regular updates and photos so you know how your pet is doing while you’re away. If I notice anything unusual, I’ll let you know right away.

About: I am pretty lucky to have my own business and a pretty flexible schedule. So coming up with times that works for the both of us will be the easy part. I understand trusting your fur baby with someone else even for just an hour walk can be nerve wrecking. But I can assure you I will do my best to make sure they feel safe and also have a fun time. From watching over cats to even watching a cow for a friend, being around animals is something that I enjoy. Having to give medication to dogs, picking up after them, and letting all their energy out are things I am quite familiar with and have no problem doing. I hope by seeing my profile you feel confident that I can be a good fit for a one time booking, or becoming your regular Rover user! Can’t wait to meet your furry friend! -Celina. I am self employed with a food truck and currently in my slow season and would love a part time job to keep busy. Therefore I have a very open and flexible schedule, when my busy season picks back up I will adjust my schedule. Even then I will still have time for clients and will be available. As someone who has dogs and has always had animals growing up I’m aware of how important exercise, time, and affection is to them and us! My Australian shepherd Pepper needs lots of time to let her energy out and keep her mind stimulated so I’m well trained in those departments. As well as administering medications if needed.

About: I’ve raised my dogs from puppies to seniors. I have experience with dogs that are reactive and might yell a little when new people come to their home. I love large dogs, especially ones that think they fit in your lap! I work from home, part-time, and with flexible hours so pet care fits easily into my weekly schedule. I do have regular health appointments, but those are known well in advance for scheduling. Up front, I am physically disabled; I can take your dog out to use the bathroom, but I cannot take them on proper walks. Everything else is fair game. Your dog will still get lots of play time, treats, cuddles, and attention while I care for them :) As for cats, don’t worry, I can still scoop the litter box!

About: I've taken care of every kind of dog over the years. Friends and family have relied on me to care for their fur babies and give them all the love while their owners are away. I'm currently working remote and looking for any reason to get my steps in, so I have lots of time and flexibility to care for your fur babies! I don't have any children or pets in my apartment currently. But have an amazing dog park, lots of walkable areas in my neighborhood, and even an outside dog bath!

About: From cats, dogs, chickens and ferrets, I’ve grown up around all animals and know how to care for their specific wants needs and personality types. I am a full time student but taking care of pets has been a normal part of my day. I am currently taking classes online so my schedule is very flexible. Whether it’s feeding or changing water before I head to class and letting a pet outside during a break it has become routine for me. In my home I make sure my animals food and water bowls are always clean. If they’ve made a mess for any reason that will be cleaned up as soon as possible. I also understand certain animals have physical needs or wants so cuddling or walking softly around the house is understandable.

About: I have a large yard and home, where I have raised horse, dogs, and cats. I have years of experience training horses and dogs and caring for my kitties. My career in the medical field transfers over to minimal pet care. I am very familiar with administrating medications and taking special precaution for those that need special accommodation. I am working from home and have a lot of time to be outdoors. I have plenty of time during the week and weekends. My only trips out are for groceries and needed supplies. I live on 10 acres north of Big Bend all fenced in. We are set up for equestrian care with all the fencing to keep small and large farm animals on the property. We do have horses on the property. The dogs and horse will always be separated. We have lots of room for dogs to run and play. I enjoy taking the dogs on long walks on the property (if the weather is good) and always away from the horses. My house has a big family room that is divided into two large areas for the cats or dogs to be inside in separate areas.

FAQs for Dog Sitting - Riverview

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Sitting in Riverview is $20 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $29 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 7,285 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Riverview. 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.

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 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.

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:

  • 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% 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 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.
