“Blair checked on our kitties every weekend in the month of May. We are so grateful she was able to help out with some last minute planned visits for the cats due to a family emergency. We always feel so much more at ease when we know she’s caring for our fur babies. We will continue to use Blair and highly recommend anyone looking for a reliable pet sitter to use Blair’s care.”
“Joshua is an exceptional pet sitter! He accepted my last-minute booking when I needed to go out of town for an emergency. I was nervous to leave my cats, as they don't take distance well. Joshua was great with them, providing them the food, attention, distance and play they needed to feel comfortable. He even managed to get my most nervous cat to trust him after only a few days! Joshua is incredibly communicative and sends plenty of photos to help pet parents feel at ease. I certainly recommend him to anyone and would book again. :)”
“Rowyn was amazing with our two kitties! I felt so comforted going on a long trip knowing she was checking in on them. She went above and beyond the care instructions we left, and it was clear our cats loved her!”
“Maria is fantastic! My two young cats are tornadoes of mischief, and she took great care of them, cleaned up all the messes they made, and even brought in heavy packages that arrived unexpectedly early. When we came back, the cats were happy and the house spotless.”
“Ana took great care of my cats! She sent lots of pictures of them while I was away. They were well taken care of and got lots of pets and treats.”
About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and have years of hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats. I’ve had dogs since I was a baby, love dog sitting, and volunteered for three years with Passport Rescue at Petco, where I spent hundreds of hours caring for cats. I’m attentive to routines, patient with different personalities, and take pride in keeping pets comfortable, safe, and happy. I treat every pet like my own and truly love what I do. I’m a college student with a flexible schedule, which gives me plenty of time to care for pets throughout the week. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, and lots of attention. I’m flexible and happy to work with pet parents to find times that fit their pet’s normal routine. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities. I carefully follow feeding instructions, routines, medications or care guidelines provided by each owner. I’m attentive to changes in behavior and always make sure pets are secure before entering or leaving the home. I respect both your space and your pet’s routine, and I’ll keep you updated with messages and photos so you can feel comfortable while you’re away.
“Ashleigh was so great with our cat, Lyra, when we were away for a longer vacation. She sent nice messages describing her time with lyra along with each of the rover cards, and we felt like our furball was in excellent hands!”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Riderwood
This was my very first time using rover and I’m very happy that I found Blaire! I can tell by the drop-in photos that she posts, my cat baby is very comfortable with her visiting and taking care of his needs. Blaire is very detailed with her visits as well as with her interactions with my cat. I will definitely be calling on Blaire again in the near future to look after my cat baby!!♥️
Shelby is a great pet sitter and dog walker! She is very responsive and came over before her first visit to learn about the pets. She’s very reliable and has been a huge help to us! She takes great care of our pets and leaves us great pictures and reports of how their time was together. Highly recommend!
Brian really came through for us at the last minute! Our usual house sitter had an emergency and had to leave two days before the end of our trip, and Brian jumped in to help even though he had never cat sit for us before. He was attentive to detail and kept us updated with pictures. Thanks again Brian you really saved our vacation!
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Cat Sitting in Riderwood is $22 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $18 and $27 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 870 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Riderwood. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 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.

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 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.
