“Monika always takes such amazing care of our fur babies and gives us total peace of mind while we’re away. Reliable, caring, and clearly loves animals — we’re so grateful to have found her!”
“Rebecca was a delight. She arrived on time and sent many photos of our dog, Kita, during her stay. She frequently updated us on how Kita was doing while we were away and gave Kita lots of play time outside and I inside. Great experience. 10/10 Would book again with her!”
“Emma was great & looked after Ruby really well, kept me updated & was very flexible, was able to accommodate me when my flight was cancelled & stayed with Ruby, which put my mind at ease. Will definitely use Emma again!”
About: Over the past four years, I’ve cared for dozens of dogs and cats for friends and family—walking, feeding, playing, and giving them love while their people were away. What started as doing favors turned into something I genuinely enjoy and feel confident doing, so I thought… why not finally offer it professionally? While I’ve never had a pet of my own (yet!), I treat every animal I care for like they’re family. I take time to learn their routines, preferences, and personalities to make sure they feel safe and happy while you’re gone. I’m attentive, gentle, and great at reading an animal’s vibe—whether they want playtime, cuddles, or just someone calm nearby. I’d love to meet your furry companion and be someone you can count on. Let’s chat about how I can help! I currently work part-time most of my work days are during the weekend so throughout the week I am home all day pretty much every day! I am to make sure I learn the routines of each of my clients and ensure that the pets feel like they are at home!
“Dana is the dearest sitter! This is her second homestay with our Louie and we just appreciate her so much. She treats Louie like her own and he just loves being with her. Dana is a very considerate house guest, too. We just love Dana and hope she will sit for us again!”
“Sandra has a beautiful soul. She took such good care of my babies. She sent me pictures of them made into these lovely collages that I know took time and care to create. I rebooked her for my next trip already!”
About: I have had and cared for animals my whole life, lots of dogs, cats, rodents and even hermit crabs! Additionally, I highly value your pet's wellbeing and having fun!! I am a senior in college with my classes being online, additionally I work part-time in retail. My schedule is highly flexible and I can give my full attention to your animal friends! I do not offer care in my home, however I will treat yours with the same level of respect and regard as my own. From making sure doors are closed/locked to tidying up on longer care sessions (if requested), I'm Ms. Get it done.
“Rochelle took great care of our girl while we went out for the 4th of july! She made sure Bella was comfortable and loved on and felt safe! Will absolutely be requesting her services again!”
“Our girls became fast friends with Veronica! She treated them like her own and gave us detailed reports on how they were doing while we were away for the evening! We highly recommend Veronica for sitting needs and we would love to have her back!!”
“Giselle was the best, she stayed at my place for a day/night and it went amazing. She sent lots of pictures of my dog and followed all the instructions I left for her. Would highly recommend!”
About: I've had animals most my life. From dogs,cats,horses,cows,pigs,rabbits, and even goats. I treat all pets as members of my own family :) I look forward to meeting yours As I'm living local and have a doggo of my very own. I'm available most evenings and weekends without issue to help take care of others pets too. As someone who's raised all sorts of animals I have a love and understanding for all animals and have experience with every age of pets as well
About: I grew up around dogs, all types of behaviors I have witnessed and handled. I’ve also handle 3 liters of puppies during my early adulthood including taking care of the mother and the pups while properly feeding them. From there, I would keep your dog’s needs at priority! Whether it’s feeding, walking or entertaining. I currently do not have roommates so any size is welcome! I currently work full time, yet I work from home Monday and Friday so I can keep an extra eye on your pup while taking breaks in between to ensure a walk and feeding. I’m also open on weekends! I live near 3 parks! If your pet is comfortable, I’ll be happy to take them there! I live in a quieter neighborhood and will have plenty of toys to share.
“I recently hired Abby for overnight pet sitting, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. From the moment she arrived, it was clear my pets were in caring, capable hands. She took the time to understand each animal’s routine, quirks, and comfort needs, and it showed—everyone was relaxed, happy, and well cared for when I returned. I received thoughtful updates throughout the stay, including photos and little notes that gave me total peace of mind. The house was left spotless, and my pets clearly adored the extra attention and calm presence. It’s rare to find someone who is not only reliable and professional but also genuinely kind and attentive. I will absolutely be booking Abby again. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a trustworthy overnight sitter who treats your pets like their own.”
“Nicholas was great with our dog cooper! He did a meet and greet with us before booking which made me feel a-lot more comfortable about leaving our boy with him for the weekend. Nicholas kept us updated the whole time with pictures and videos! Cooper instantly bonded with Nicholas and well def be booking with him for our next trip.”
“Erin was incredibly attentive to my dogs and their needs. She was respectful of my home and left everything as she found it. It was a pleasure being able to go on my work trip with the peace of mind that my dogs were being well cared for. She kept me updated on them and even checked in on me and how my trip was going. Very sweet and thoughtful.”
About: I believe dogs are family and should be treated as such! I would love to spoil your furry friend! I’m punctual and detailed when it comes to any job. I work a full-time job. I am available in the evenings/nights and weekends. I could even make some early mornings work. If times are flexible, please let me know! I take care of pets by knowing I’m in their environment first. I make sure they are comfortable before overstepping my welcome. Walking, feeding and spoiling them with lots of love are ways I personally take care of my dog.
“It was such a pleasure for us to know that Amy was at our home taking great care of Whiskey! When we met Amy for our meet and greet we had a feeling that they would get along great and they did! Thank you Amy for taking care of our home as well and for your kindness and professionalism throughout. We look forward to having you come over again and spend some time with our whiskey ;-)”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Riverview
Ruth was wonderful! We knew the girls were in great hands from the first meet and greet. Dependability is so important to us and we got that with Ruth! She was very communicative while we were away and kept us updated on the girls. She even went the extra mile to make sure the house was back in order before she left. Highly recommend Ruth for your fur children!
Francesca was absolutely phenomenal. Our house was well taken care of (and cleaner than we left it!), and our pets had the absolute best time ever while we were gone. She sent us so many photo updates, took the pups on frequent walks, and made sure they were well taken care of. Can’t recommend Francesca highly enough!
Laura was amazing! It’s been really hard to find a good house sitter, someone who will actually stay at my house and not just drop in, and followed all my instructions perfectly for caring for my baby. My cat was so happy with her and I felt completely at ease being out of town and knowing she was keeping him safe and loved. She sent me so many pictures of him looking so happy, even curled up in the bed with her! She also went above and beyond by taking out my garbage, watered my houseplants, even washed and dried her sheets. I didn’t ask her to do any of these things, she just did it out her own kindness. I am so happy to have found someone who did such a stellar job and I will definitely hire her again in the future!
Jade is AMAZING! She watched our two cats and dog while we were away. She sent the best pictures of our fur babies everyday. Kept us updated and is great with response time. We definitely will be choosing Jade again in the future. I highly recommend having her!
Dana is the dearest sitter! This is her second homestay with our Louie and we just appreciate her so much. She treats Louie like her own and he just loves being with her. Dana is a very considerate house guest, too. We just love Dana and hope she will sit for us again!
Fantastic experience with this sitter! She stayed overnight with Jaxx and took great care of him, regular walks, fresh water, and awesome communication throughout. I really appreciated the photos and videos, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. Jaxx was clearly well cared for. Would absolutely book with her again!
Bobby was great with our 3 dogs. He took time with all of them individually and sent us photos everytime he took them out. I’m always apprehensive when we leave the dogs with new sitters due to previous incidents but Bobby put my mind at ease. I will definitely reach out to him for future sitting needs.

FAQs for House Sitting - Riverview
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Riverview on Rover is $55.5 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 4,364 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Riverview. 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 Riverview 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 Riverview 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 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!
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 Riverview. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% 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.
