“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!”
“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!!”
“Madison was able to take care of my cats last minute - she was a huge help! She eased my mind while I was out of town with all the pictures and detailed updates every morning. She was very responsive as well! I came home to filled food and water bowls and a clean cat area AND happy cats!”
About: I’ve always had a love and passion for animals of all kinds, but dogs are just so easy to love! I’ve helped take care of my friends and family’s dogs for as long as I can remember. I have experience walking, playing, bathing and watching dogs of all different shapes and sizes! I’m naturally an active person with a love for nature and the outdoors, making me the perfect companion for your furry friend ☺️ If you have any questions regarding my services please reach out. And, of course, if you’re interested let’s set up a meet and greet! I’m currently working part-time, so fitting in time with your fur babies before work (8am-10:30am) and after work (5pm-7:30pm) on the weekdays is no problem! Weekends are also a great option as my schedule is much more flexible. If you’re unsure about my availability don’t hesitate to ask. I will always be mindful and respectful of your home when dropping in, and intend to leave it just as I found it or better!
About: Hi! I’m Brooke, a college student studying Elementary Education at UM-Dearborn and a lifelong animal lover. I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities, including puppies. I previously worked in a dog care setting where I gained hands-on experience supervising, feeding, exercising, and caring for multiple dogs. I am patient, dependable, and committed to making sure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Whether your pet needs a walk, playtime, feeding, or companionship, I’ll treat them like they’re my own. I am currently a substitute teacher, which gives me a flexible schedule throughout the school year and full availability during the summer months. During the summer, I am available for morning, afternoon, and evening walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting. I am reliable, responsive, and committed to providing consistent care that fits your pet’s routine. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. As a dog owner myself, I understand how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member. I follow each pet’s routine, provide plenty of attention and exercise, and always ensure they are safe and secure during walks and visits. I communicate regularly with pet parents and am happy to provide updates and photos for peace of mind. I will treat your pet with the same care and love that I give my own dog.
About: I’ve had childhood animals as well as my own of all shapes and sizes. I’ve fostered multiple dogs at a time. I work from home so I will be with your pet all day. I have experience with sick dogs as well that may need medication on a schedule. I work from home so I’ll be available for your pet all day. I’m available for boarding, dog walking, or potty breaks mon-sun. I have a fenced yard and 3 children ages 12, 4, and 2 that would love on your pet all day long. I have room for a crate if your dog needs one as well.
“Kelly was amazing with my two cats and took wonderful care of them while I was gone for over a week! She sent regular photos and updates and I felt so happy seeing my babies so well care for. Both my cats were extremely healthy and happy when I came back. I would highly recommend her and will be using her services again!”
“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! :)”
“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!”
About: While this is my first time as a sitter/walker on an app like this I am very experienced with animals including dogs and cats. I am experienced with dog walking and caring for pet’s basic needs. I currently have a very open schedule so I will be able to visit or walk your pets with little scheduling conflicts. I will be attending community college in the fall starting in late August but I will update my schedule when it does change. I take safety for pets extremely seriously. Doors are a high alert area because I know how sneaky some pets can be once a door is opened. I have my own experience with stopping my own dogs and even cats from getting out either by body blocking the door or picking the cats up and moving them to a safe place. While on walks I like to keep my dogs at my side and always stay clear of other dogs or animals.
“ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL! Super communicative with every visit they had along with pictures - really helped my husband and I out last minute - will 10000% be re-booking her in the near future!”
About: I have taken care of my own yorkies for 17 years and also had friends ask me to babysit their babies and of course my babies relied on me for fresh water, meals, grooming, nail cutting and much more. Outside-never alone, walks, play and especially brushing and petting on my lap. Lots of love I'm retired and home all day, with exceptions of Doc visits. When I am not home Hope stays at the house with any babies that I have in the home. I will be taking the babies out and be with them the entire time they are outside. I will play with them and have them sit in my lap if they choose to. Or anything else the owner would suggest. The babies are allowed on my furniture and to sleep in bed with me if they choose to.

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.
