“Blair was punctual and made an effort with my shy rescue, Dozer Dude. She checked in with me and sent pics and I would not hesitate to have her dogsit my boy in the future! Thanks again Blair!!”
“Christine is a wonderful cat sitter -- reliable, responsive, and so great with Lilah, who is cautious around new people. Lilah felt safe to emerge and interact with Christine by day 2, which is record time! I can tell Christine loves cats, and I felt at ease with Christine dropping in to take care of Lilah's needs. She was very thorough with feeding, watering, washing the used kitty dishes, and scooping litter.”
“Sam is amazing! Our cat was very well cared for and Sam’s detailed notes and photos gave us peace of mind that our elderly girl was happy and safe. Sam was very communicative and went above and beyond.”
“Michelle was absolutely amazing and reliable with my cat! She made being away super easy and I never had to worry as she kept me updated. I definitely recommend her, your pet will be in good hands!!”
“I recently hired Jenna to take care of my dog, Murray for a last minute drop-in, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience! From our first interaction, Jenna was professional and attentive, taking the time to ask about my dog’s routine and preferences. During the visit, Jenna sent regular updates and photos, which reassured me that Murray was in good hands. It was clear that Jenna genuinely cares about animals; Murray seemed happy and well-cared for. Upon my return, my home was tidy, and Murray was relaxed and content. I highly recommend Jenna to anyone looking for a reliable and loving dog sitter. I will definitely be booking her again in the future!”
“Brian M is fantastic! He is immediately established a relationship with both of 130 lb Great Pyrenees-they are truly excited to see him and I am confident leaving my children’ in his capable care.”
“Elizabeth consistently exceeded expectations! She took the time to keep my boys happy, took them onto my balcony every day, and was so thorough that my separation anxiety was gone despite being in another country. An added bonus is all the pictures she takes-I definitely have saved some of the super silly ones and they make me happy!”
“We are so glad to have found Marwa to help take care of our pup during the day. She is truly passionate, caring, and knowledgeable about dogs. She is constantly going above and beyond to help Lolli become more comfortable and confident with her. Marwa is lovely, and we felt an immediate connection with her (maybe not Lolli quite yet!). I feel completely at ease having her enter our home and provide such extraordinary care for Lolli. Her patience, dedication, and genuine love for animals shine through in everything she does. We feel very lucky to have found her and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate dog walker.”
“Karen’s did a wonderful job watching my two kids- I mean my two cats ?! My cats loved her after the very first day and she made sure they ate and played, and was communicating with me throughout the weekend. My cats are shelter cats with abuse history, so I was very pleased with how quickly they warmed up to her. I would absolutely recommend her to a friend.”
About: I’ve had dogs since I was 2. I have looked after dogs, cats, and guinea pigs of various ages since 12. I love caring for pets and have a dog of my own! I also volunteer at animal shelters when I have the chance. I’m working part time so I will have plenty of time to play with your pet! During summer I will especially have loads of availability. I have a crate trained dog who is very friendly and can keep your pet company. I have a spacious apartment but am flexible to take care of your pet wherever!
About: Between loving dogs and loving to walk, dog walking is one of my favorite activities! From the day I was born and sharing my home with beloved animal family members, to working at an animal shelter to owning my own dog walking and pet sitting service in the past, my pet caring experience is extensive to say the least! I am available to give dog walks/pet visits between 9am and 2pm Monday through Friday. Happy to walk your pup in your neighborhood or play with them in your backyard! Happy to keep your cat company while making sure they are fed and cleaned up after. I am very responsible, trustworthy and punctual. I give quality pet care each and every time I visit your home giving you and your pet the respect you deserve.
“Maria was super communicative and followed instructions. It made my time away from my kitties much less stressful to know she was taking care of them! Thank you!”
“Alex was great! Timely, followed instructions, sent photos and notes, and had no issues. Oliver was calm and content in his crate when I got home, so I know they had a good time! We will definitely book with her again!”
“Alicia was able to take care of our dogs with short notice and we were appreciative of that. She was communicative, and very friendly with the pups even not having been able to meet them prior to caring for them.”
“Chelsea is amazing! She took care of my kitty Gigi over the holidays and gave me total peace of mind while I was away. She even went above & beyond by caring for a betta fish as well! Both were happy and doing so great when I came home. Thank you so much, Chelsea! ?”
About: Animals have always been an important part of my life, and I genuinely enjoy helping them feel safe, cared for, and loved while their people are away. I’ve cared for animals throughout my life, from family pets growing up to paid pet and house sitting for friends and private clients. I’m a longtime yoga teacher, so creating a calm, grounded environment comes naturally to me. Friends, clients, and neighbors have trusted me to care for their dogs, cats, and homes, and I understand how important consistency, communication, and reliability are. Whether your pet loves long walks, quiet companionship, or playful interaction, I’ll care for them with the same attention and respect I’d want for my own family. I’m a part-time yoga teacher with a flexible schedule, which allows me to provide attentive care for your pets. I carefully plan my schedule around the animals in my care and will always discuss my teaching times with you in advance. My priority is making sure your pets are safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. I understand that inviting someone into your home or entrusting them with your beloved pet requires a great deal of trust. I treat every home with respect and every animal with patience, kindness, and attentive care. I follow your pet’s routine as closely as possible, communicate regularly with updates and photos, and will always reach out if I have any questions or concerns. My goal is for you to return home to a happy pet and a well-cared-for home. If boarding is needed, I provide a quiet, calm, smoke free home and accept only one family’s pets at a time so I can give them my full attention. I carefully follow each pet’s established routine and will communicate regularly with updates and photos. My goal is for your pet to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Riderwood
Ashley did an amazing job taking care of my old kitty. She immediately bonded with her (had her out from her “new person” hiding place on day 1, sent great pics, spent time giving her lots of love, had my cat coming out to greet her and give her lots of rubs, and even watered my plants and cleaned up around the litter. She went the extra mile to ask thoughtful questions and kindly cleaned up my porch after a storm came through while I was away. Would highly recommend her-you can leave your fur baby and know they are in good hands!
Christine did an outstanding job caring for my two fur babies. She ensured they always had food and clean litter and consistently provided photos as promised on the scheduled dates and times throughout the week. I highly recommend her services for reliable and attentive pet care.
Sean and his partner Paulina were quick to respond to all messages and showed up on time, both to our meet and greet and to all three cat-sitting sessions while we were out of town. Our two babies were well fed and watered, and the more social one got some attention and play from Paulina too. The shy guy had a cleaned litter box to use when he came out of hiding after they left, but before that they even watered the flower baskets on our porch as a heat wave was starting. Thanks again Sean and Paulina!
Elizabeth consistently exceeded expectations! She took the time to keep my boys happy, took them onto my balcony every day, and was so thorough that my separation anxiety was gone despite being in another country. An added bonus is all the pictures she takes-I definitely have saved some of the super silly ones and they make me happy!
Jackie went above and beyond to care for our cats. I made an error and sent her to the wrong house and she so kindly forgave my mistake and made sure our cats were taken care of right away. The cats took to her very easily. I received great updates and photos.

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Riderwood on Rover is $22.2 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, 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.

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.
