âLeslie was incredible with my two dogs , Mocha (pit terrier mix) and Jagger (shih Tzu-Bichon). She played with them, and treated them like her own. I give her five stars and kudos for a great job! I highly recommend her! Thanks Leslie for our job well done!â

âZoe was absolutely incredible. She met with us beforehand to make sure everyone was at ease with the arrangement. She spent plenty of time with our cats at each visit and took plenty of pictures to make sure they got some love and attention. On top of all that, she seemed like a genuine and caring person. We will be happy to use her again in the future and you should too!â

About: I have been raising Huskies my whole life. Have raised 3 different puppies, owned at least a half dozen dogs over the years, and do well with dogs of all ages and condition. I work part time for FedEx so I am free every day before Noon and after 7PM. On weekends I am available any time. Would love to spend as much time doing this as possible each week! I have a large yard, not fenced in. I have no problem walking your dog or mine on leash as much as needed so no problem there. I am VERY careful because I have Huskies (they stay at my parents) and they will run away if they get loose. So I am conditioned to be on top of it when it comes to making sure dogs don't get loose.

About: My wife and I have been taking care of animals (dogs, cats, birds, lizards, guinea pigs and bunnies) since we were very young. As we get closer to retirement, we would like to spend more time doing what we love and that's caring for animals. We have well over 40 years of experience caring for animals and feel like I should have been a veterinarian. My son started a pet sitting business when he was in 7th grade and has built a strong base over the last 6 years. I thought it might be great to build it with him and sign up for Rover to assist additional people in our community. Your pet will receive all day attention as I am working from home and am here to take routine breaks for potty, walks, attention and play time. While our yard is not fenced, it is large and wooded and I spend a lot of time outside with our dog and the dogs in our care. We do go for long walks at Potters Bridge nearby along the river and in the woods and I take lots of time every day to give our guests the attention they need. Need products for your pet? Go to OptimalPetProductsDOTcom and check it out With my wife working at home & me being home by noon most days, we are able to be home w/ dogs all day so they do not have to be crated, kenneled and receive a lot of attention throughout the day. We do not have a fenced yard but do have a substantial dog run that we hook up to allow dogs to have a lot of exercise. Most of their exercise would be one on one with walks and play. We do have crates, but we typically do NOT crate our guests unless we are told to do so by an owner. Some owners prefer dogs crated at night, but we do not do that unless that is part of the owner's instructions. We do read the instructions for daily care closely on the Rover app to ensure that your dogs are up at the right time, fed correctly and receive medications or supplements as required. We take your instructions to heart and very seriously as this is your family member who you care for on a regular basis and we don't want to upset their schedule when they return home with you after their busy and playful stay here.
About: I grew up with cats, dogs, rabbits and cows. I'm familiar and comfortable with most all animals. I've watched friends and families pets for years, had my own dog (who passed in the last year) and now I'm ready to expand my services to others. I currently work full time, but depending on your location I can easily let your pet out at lunch or make a quick visit. I can also host your pet in my home where I can tend to them before work, after work and on my lunch breaks. I live only 5 minutes from my work. I'm also willing to stay in your home to care for your pets. I do not have a fenced yard, but I have a tethered line in my back yard for your dog to roam around and use the restroom. I can also take your dogs for walks multiple times a day.
About: Iâve loved Dogs and Cats for as long as I can remember. Iâve had cats since I was 5 years old, and theyâve always been an important part of my life. I had my 1st dog in middle school so ,I grew up playing with them, sleeping next to them, and caring for them every day. Being around cats and dogs brings me so much joy, and I understand how to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I will care for your cat or dog as if they were my own. Cats are part of my daily life. I donât have dogs but I love it and also was my daily life when I live with my parents. On Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays, Iâm home most of the time, so I can give them plenty of attention, playtime, and cuddles. During the week, Iâm available from 5 PM until the next morning, and I love spending my evenings relaxing with cats by my side. In my routine, cats are never aloneâthey are always with me, receiving love and care. Having a dog should not be a probleem :) When caring for cats and dogs in my home or in a clientâs home, I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I follow their feeding schedule, keep their litter box clean, afternoon walks,play with them, give them plenty of attention and affection, and respect their personality and routine. I enjoy spending quality time with cats, whether they want to play, cuddle, or simply relax nearby.Trust me i will not fail:)

About: Iâve owned several dogs over the years, and have helped family and friends with their dogs as well. I adopted a reactive pit bull and trained her, making great progress in her ability to meet new people, animals, and have new experiences, and want to help care for other animals now that she has passed. Happy to work with all kinds of dogs! I work from home so I am available during the day for quick walks and potty breaks, with time for a longer walk at lunchtime. In evenings, I often have theater rehearsals or recreational sports leagues, but am able to come home within a few hours. I am very comfortable in any environment, and I am willing to work in whichever way will make you more comfortable for your petâs needs.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Riverwood
Our dogs are older and extremely skeptical of strangers. Claire's approach was spot on and decreased their anxiety quickly. She is no longer a stranger, but a new BFF! Additionally, her communication and timeliness has been greatly appreciated. We are looking forward to a long relationship as our go to sitter for drop-ins and extended stays.

Thos was my first time using a dog sitter and Rover. I was nervous. Claire was great a reassuring me, assisting with using Rover to adjust my original request, and sending me pictures to show how she was doing. She reached out regarding issues and worked to get Cinnamon to adjust to her. I appreciated her greatly! Would definitely use River and Claire again.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 2,438 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Riverwood. 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 petâs routine and the sitterâs 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 petâs 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 youâre away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent youâd 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, donât 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 Justiceâs 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 Roverâs 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 Riverwood. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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 sitterâs 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, youâll 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.
