About: I’ve always been a huge dog lover! Growing up around dogs and having two of my own has given me plenty of hands-on experience caring for dogs of different sizes, breeds, and personalities.

I’m comfortable with feeding, walking, playtime, and keeping up with daily routines. Whether your pup loves long walks, playing outside, or just cuddling on the couch, I’m happy to give them the attention they deserve! I understand how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member, and I’ll always treat your dog with the same love and care I give my own! Pet care has always been a part of my daily routine since I have pets of my own!

Dog will be combed for fleas upon arrival, if active fleas are found booking will be canceled. I’m comfortable with dogs being loose. I can crate at night or I’m ok with them sleeping with me. I do not have a yard as I live in a townhouse so dog would have to be comfortable on a leash for trips outside and walking. Dog would also need to be comfortable with stairs.

About: Experienced lifelong animal lover offering reliable, dedicated pet care. Having personally cared for a wide variety of animals—including dogs, cats, rabbits, and livestock—I understand the unique needs and temperaments of different pets. I bring patience, strong empathy, and attentive, playful energy to ensure your pets feel safe, active, and comfortable while you're away. I work in the mornings and I'm off on the evenings. If you like me to stay at your home I can do that too, I've done it before with my aunt's and cousin's cat I have a kitty on my own, her name is Velvette. I wake up at 5am to get myself ready for work, before I leave around 6:30am I feed her tuna, and pour some of her dry food in another bowl. When I come back I give her treats, play with her, she follows me around and then we lay together in bed and then 10am I feed her tuna again

“Kaitlyn did an amazing job with our two kitties especially accepting the last minute request due to a family emergency. She was willing to go out of her way to accommodate the last minute meet and greet which meant so much to us. Kaitlyn had not given insulin injections before and was game for learning and did it first time like a champ. It felt so good leaving knowing that Kaitlyn was in charge of our fur babies 💗”
“Donna did a wonderful job. I have two large very needed pits and she handled them wonderfuly. Was very communicative and trustworthy. I highly recommend.”
“Casey was awesome with our dogs! She stopped by our house while we were gone for a short trip to let out our 2 pups. Casey even got one of our dogs that is not very trusting of new people to be comfortable around her. We highly recommend Casey for your next pet sitting!”
About: I have had animals all my life, dogs, cats, rodents, and birds. I'm experienced with younger and older animals as well as giving medicines and other. I'm currently a college student and don't work so I have plenty of time to play with pups / kitties and come by for feedings and other. When pet sitting I typically will go by 2 to 3 times a day for feeding and play. I'm always careful around animals especially when they don't know me, I know some can take some time to warm up! I can do walks, play in house, or a backyard if allowed, and other general care.
About: I’ve pet sat for my neighbors and family members for a few years. I used to pet sit for my aunt a lot and I loved it but she moved away, so I can’t pet sit for her anymore. I had so much fun, and I love spending time and caring for every animal. I look forward to meeting your amazing pets, and watching over them for you! I’m currently unemployed and have plenty of free time to check in and care for your pets. Im free the whole 7 days of the week :) I have 5 furry babies myself, 2 big dog fenced in the backyard and 3 kitties in the house, I also have 3 hermit crabs that I take care of. I have plenty of experience with all kinds of pets even a pig :)

Zach took wonderful care of our 2 boys. Spent extra time playing and letting them relax outside over the beautiful weekend. Very prompt on his visits and always sent updates. I would highly recommend him for anyone wanting their furry loved one to feel well taken care of when you away.
Melissa has been wonderful with our puppy! We’ve booked her twice now for midday drop ins, and she’s been so great about giving him a much needed potty break and some playtime while we’re working. She’s super communicative, sends the cutest photos, and we feel like Scout is in great hands with her. We’ll definitely be using Melissa again!
I had a wonderful experience with Mary! She took great care of my babies. She communicated clearly any time there were questions. One of my cats is aggressive and doesn’t like new people. She was the total opposite with Mary! They quickly became friends!! Because of that, I will definitely be rebooking for my next vacation!
Michael was amazing and flexible. He bounded with our sweet boy Jackson!! We were updated and we had full confidence that Michael had everything under control. Michael is great with big dogs and has a great touch with them. We definitely will be using Michael again.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Riverview is $20 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $28 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 4,984 sitters on Rover offering Pet 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.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Riverview. On Rover:
- 88% 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.
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.
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.
