“Johnna provided excellent care for my three cats, Ole, Oskar and Ozzy. Excellent communication, punctual and responsible. Don't hesitate to book her to care for your pet!”
“This was my first time using Rover and a dog sitter, so I was a little nervous at first — but Kathy immediately put me at ease! She was warm, professional, and clearly experienced with dogs. My pups were relaxed and enjoyed their time with her. I appreciated the updates and photos she sent, which really helped me relax while I was away. I couldn’t have asked for a better first experience — thank you, Kathy!”
“Karly was absolutely wonderful!! My love and I were a bit nervous leaving our cat with someone new for the first time but Karly made sure that our girl was loved and cared for during our long week trip. We highly recommended Karly for all pet care needs. We are so relieved to have found a great neighbor that will help take care of our girl while we are away. Plus, she has a new best friend! Thank you for being the best, Karly!!”
“If you are looking for someone who is caring and experienced, look no further; Lucinda has been such a blessing to my senior, blind, fur baby. She takes her time respecting your pet so that they can get to know each other, which demonstrates her star sitter commitment. I have felt at ease knowing that my fur baby is well taken care of and have appreciated her kind hearted nature 🥹 Thank you Lucinda!”
“Selena is beloved by my older cat, Jeff. She caught all the details of his care routine and used great discretion of when to add in extra support as needed when she did drop-in visits with him over the holidays. Even when he had an upset stomach, she took care of him and the mess in a professional and compassionate way. I appreciate her kindness, level of detail in her care, and her thorough communication.”
About: I have experience with dogs and cats of all shapes, sizes, ages, temperaments, and breeds! No matter the pet, you can count on me to ensure your animal receives the utmost attention and enrichment. I am open and available for almost any day and time! Mornings, afternoons, evenings, nights, weekdays and weekends- I should be able to care for your animal any time, including overnight! I am very attentive to the needs of your pets as well as your home and personal property. I love taking your animal(s) out for walks around the neighborhood, and I will leave your home looking spotless!
About: For 5 years I volunteered almost every weekend at an animal rescue. Handling different pets (mainly cats and dogs of all ages and health/physical disabilities), administering medicine, exercising them, feeding & cleaning. Beyond that I have always been the go to pet sitter for my friends, family and neighbors! In my lifetime, I myself had many different pets; guinea pigs, chickens, dogs, cats, horses, and fish. Growing up my family has always been the type to adopt rescues. Which included having to rehabilitate them, physically and emotionally. It’s extremely important to me to have a good mutual relationship with your pet and care for them as I have/would my own. I am currently unemployed! Therefore, my schedule is very open and flexible. I’m available most days and times of the week(end). Let’s chat and see what works for us both! Safety and comfortability is a top priority for me! I require a Meet Up before booking to ensure we are a good fit for each other. I love to keep you updated through texts/photos (depending on your personal desires). In case of an emergency, I have a vehicle and am knowledgeable about the ER vets in Portland.
“ChristyLynn was able to accommodate a last minute drop in request. She was great with the dogs, they sense right away if someone is a dog person and she definitely is. She asked if it was ok for her girls to come for an evening visit and the dogs loved that. Great communication and appreciated the pics. Will definitely use her again.”
“Excellent response time, service, and care. Ann bonded with my pet in no time and took great care of Cosette and my home! Top tier professional~”
“Samantha was great with our Corgi puppy! She was available last minute, very caring for our dog, and thorough with her visit. We would recommend her to anyone in the area!”
“Anna was so great with our cat. She gave her all the love and cuddles she wanted, and even brushed her. It’s so nice being able to go out of town and know that our cat is so well taken care of.”
“Clara is great at communicating in advance when there are schedule conflicts (which have been minimal) and in being flexible when things are different for our schedule. And she loves our pup as much as we do.”
“Simon was wonderful with our dog Piper this week. Piper was comfortable and felt loved while we were away. Very communicative and timely. We will be using Simon again in the future”
“Tina was flexible in scheduling, even offering an extra day should weather keep me from returning home to my cats. She responded quickly, and was able to sit for me in the same week, with rather short notice. My cats were a bit hesitant at first, but soon had no trouble showing off for Tina during her visits, and they felt comfortable with her visiting. Tina is everything you could want in a cat-sitter, with also being aware enough to offer to cover (extra days) in case of bad weather. Highly recommended.”
About: I’ve taken care of pets since I was 10, 30 years of experience. Each individual pet is different and I want to love and give them the special attention they need. I have open availability. I am willing to work around your schedule and what’s best for you and your pet. Boarding or just drop in visits, either way I have a lot of love to give. Boarding, walking, or drop in visits, I will do whatever you and your fur baby need of me. From puppies and kittens to elderly dogs and cats I’m very adaptable.
“Cerrina did an amazing job looking after my cat. She was very communicative and sent me lots of pictures, I would not hesitate to use her again! Thank you Cerrina!”
“Colin was phenomenal at taking care of our pup! He left detailed notes that gave us great updates and peace of mind that our dog was well cared for. Colin took our dog out for a walk, even when not necessary, to give her extra attention and stimulation. We came back to one happy dog and safe home!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Riverwood
Sydney is simply the best! I completely trust her in my home and, most importantly, with my boy Caspian, a big, sweet 14-year-old kitty. During her most recent visits, Caspian was having a difficult time. It was his first time being left alone for an extended period since losing his sister, and he was struggling with the change. Sydney kept me informed about how he was doing and went above and beyond her usual responsibilities to make sure he was comfortable and well cared for. Knowing she was keeping such a close eye on him and looking out for his well-being was an enormous relief. I cannot recommend Sydney highly enough! She is caring, attentive, dependable, and truly goes the extra mile. Your pets will be in wonderful hands with her!
Sharon went above and beyond while pet sitting my dog and cat. My cat has some chronic conditions and I needed someone I could trust with his medications. Sharon took excellent care of them, communicated well, and left my house spotless. I highly recommend her!
Sydney has been wonderful since my original reach-out. Promptly responsive, polite, and easy to work with. She has come over three times now to meet my anxious/nervous little fella and has been great with him! She is thoughtful and patient with him being a bit nervous, follows my guidance for success with my pups, and has helped to ease my anxieties with text check-ins and pictures. Because of her thoughtful interactions, I'm confident that my fella will be comfortable with her being part of his circle of trust. I'm so grateful for Sydney!
J is fantastic with our pups and our cats. We have her make drop in visits with our crew when we are going to be out of the house too long. We have a senior pug, a Shepard, and 3 cats. She is so great with all of them, and they love the visits. I am so glad we found her to help out, it gives us such peace of mind and I never have to worry about our babies being loved in our absence.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Riverwood is $20 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 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 6,601 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 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 Riverwood. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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.
