About: I've been a dog mom to a spoiled little guy for 9 years. My dog has medical issues so I have plenty of experience administering medication. I also have 3 years of cat sitting experience, including litter box cleaning, feeding, and administering medication. I also love bugs! On the off chance you have any you need help with, I'd be honored. I love animals and I'm excited to meet yours! I have a very open schedule and I'm very flexible. The biggest thing I need to work around is medical appointments, but once I have you on schedule I can book them around your visit! Your pets safety is just as important as the safety of my own pet. I'll make sure any needs they have are met, especially for disabled pets!
“Kelly has taken care of my super senior kitty twice now and both times she's been wonderful. The written updates and pictures are consistent and appreciated. Boots and I feel very comfortable and happy with Kelly's care.”
“Isabelle has helped us out with occasional drop-in visits for our small dog and she is great! Our pup has been well-cared for and Isabelle was even available on relatively short notice. She is very communicative and we will definitely hire her again!”
“Megan was great with my boy and contacted me as soon as she had a concern about his health. Thankfully all ended up well! She was also well above accommodating and assisted me with my non understanding of rover lol. Thank you Megan!”
About: I have taken care of a variety of animals from Great Danes to Mice! Family and friends have asked me to care for their pets and homes while out of town or on vacation. I also worked for a pet store for five years and have tons of experience with pets of every kind! I currently have no fur babies of my own, so I live vicariously through friends and neighbors. I'm always happy to help them with anything they might need for their pets. At my own home, when I had pets, we have a fenced yard and both crated and uncrated dogs, so I am comfortable with a variety of setups. I also spent many years caring for my own pets at an apartment so I am more than willing to take pets out on potty breaks on leash if needed. I also try to play with my critters to help them get energy out and I would be happy to do the same for yours!
“Victoria was a great cat sitter! My cats really enjoyed her company and you could tell they were very happy. It was great knowing my cats were in good hands while I was away. She even took my trash cans out just in time for trash day!! I will definitely be rebooking in the future! :)”
About: I've taken care of dogs and cats for 15+ years, and currently live with 4 fur babies! I have experience with pet-sitting (short and long term), walking dogs, changing doggy diapers, and managing the BIG personalities of small friends together. Friends and family have continuously trusted me to treat their pets as my own while they're away. I'd love the opportunity to meet yours! I have a bit of an irregular schedule for another job, but I will never agree to a time that I cannot commit to. Most of my days are open, however, so I have plenty of time and energy to pour into the pets! I will provide exceptional care to your pet and your home! I am detail-oriented and can take on any care plan with ease. I also value respecting not just the animal(s), but the home and environment that they live in. Trust all around is my top priority!
About: I’ve had numerous dogs throughout my years including fosters, seniors, puppies and newborns. I have experience administering medications and aiding in mobility for the seniors. I have a one year old german shepherd mix. I have been with and handled lots of different breeds and energy levels. Pet care is everything to me and I’m looking to open that up from just my pup. I am available most of the time except Wednesdays. I have a fenced yard, lots of toys, outdoor and indoor beds, extra leases, lick mats, separate feeding stations, as well as a crate if needed.
“Yvonne was amazing. My cat Ares absolutely loved her. Even when he first met her, he ran up to her and rubbed on her!! Lol She sent me photos daily of them playing together, which I totally loved. She feed him and changed his little box while I away. She even switched up his food because he dislikes eating the same food everyday. I wish I could give her more than 5 stars. She deserves 100 stars!! I will definitely book her again!!”

About: I currently have 2 dogs that I’ve trained from puppies. I’ve pet sit for my brother for the last 5 years. A day hasn’t gone by in the last 10 years that I’m not out walking dogs. I’ve cared for senior dogs as well as puppies and love them all. I currently work 2-3 days a week with a rotating schedule but am available every morning and night as well as most weekends. My schedule is extremely flexible. I have a fenced in yard in a great neighborhood. Both my dogs are extremely friendly and always looking for another friend to play with.
About: I've had dogs all my life. We just just put our dog down after 12 years from being raised as a puppy. Our family isn't ready for a new dog yet, but we love the company! As a teacher, my summer is dedicated to being home and active! I am looking forward to a summer filled with backyard play and plenty of attention for our guest pups. Since we’ll be home the vast majority of the time, your dog will have constant companionship. While we might head out for the occasional short day trip or camp drop-off, our schedule is primarily centered around being home, making us very flexible for drop-offs, pick-ups, and mid-day belly rubs! Your pup’s safety is our top priority! We have a fully fenced-in backyard where dogs can safely run, play, and explore under constant supervision. Our home is a family environment with three kids who are taught to be gentle and respectful with animals, so we do require that any guest dogs be kid-friendly. Inside, we have stairs, so please let us know if your pup has any mobility issues or needs assistance. We are also happy to crate your dog for meals or naps if that is what they are used to at home. Since we currently have no other pets, your dog will receive 100% of our attention and love during their stay
“Arianna demonstrated an excellent attention to detail in care of the cats. She went above and beyond outlined duties. Always kept to schedule. She is an excellent cat sitter and I look forward to using her services again. 5 stars!”
“This is my second time using Maj to sit for my baby Honey. I can always count on her to send me pictures to assure me that she is ok. I recommend Maj to other people who are looking for a good sitter who takes pride in her work.”
About: I have always had dogs and cats growing up. I love them so much. I am young and energetic, I love animals of all kinds and I have experience in pet sitting. I am currently in college and do babysit. But, I can guarantee if you book me, I will work it into my time to be able to let your pet(s) out as much as possible. I do commute to college so I am local. I am someone who will always follow the instructions the pet parents give me. I know everyone has different expectations for their pets. I love to walk the dogs when I am watching them and also play with them as they are my own.
“Thank you, Donna! First gravitated to Donna’s profile because she seem to be a cat lady! ? Lots of dog watchers but we were concerned to find just the right person for our our elderly crabby cat Tobey. Donna quickly fell in love with our old guy, redefining him a polite gentleman ???. She sat on the floor every visit and loved on him and even brought him a jar of catnip! She was trustworthy, dependable, experienced with elder cats, and very graciously followed all of his finicky instructions on fussy eating habits (clean dish, variety fish of the day preferences, and litter box tidy habits). Donna is a wonderful dog watcher too, but for this extended home alone vacation for Mr. crabby cat, she was the ideal choice. Watered summer flowers, was conscientious about packages and mail, communicated with us after a big storm and generally allowed us to enjoy our vacation without any worries about home. She is the best, and we recommend Donna highly!”

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:
- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% 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.
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.
