“Mandy is so easy to communicate with and always responsive! She is very caring and attentive. I really enjoyed reading the Rover card every day, and I’m glad to see that she built such a wonderful friendship with my cat. I also have to emphasize—Mandy is a great photographer! Many of the photos she took are cute enough to be portraits (I secretly saved some of them🤭).”
“We have a very happy puppy when Krista visits. Krista is great at communicating about requests, confirmed appointments and shares outcomes of her visit. Thank you Krista.”
“Austin is a dream walker! I got about 20 adorable pictures a day, all wallpaper and insta worthy ? He looked after my boisterous boy with enthusiasm, care and diligence. I cannot wait to plan my next vacation only so that newton and Austin can have more time together! ❤️ thank you so much, Austin!”
“Pamela was very responsive and friendly! She came over beforehand for a meet and greet. She also sent a nice summary and pictures each day. I would highly recommend her!”
“Iva and Eduardo are amazing! Danny had so much fun on their visit. They were very very communicative and share plenty of pics and updates. Danny is a bit rowdy and they had no issues handling him. I would highly recommend them to anyone. :)”
“Janay was great with my two cats! They both warmed up to her very quickly and she sent me a ton of pictures each day. She did everything asked and even managed to make sure my cat with asthma got his inhaler everyday without issue. I came home to two happy and well cared for kitties”
“Natalie did a great job! She came and fed my kitty twice for 30 minutes each time. She was very communicative and nice. She also clipped my cat’s nails for me!”
“Seán & Leticia were great to work with for my first time using Rover. They were respectful of my very nervous cat and took great pictures of my friendlier cat! Seán helped adjust the dates of my booking and checked in with me often to make sure he had all the details right.”
“I've had Mandi do drop in visits with my dog three times now. She's always on-time and sends me photos of my Rosie having a great time with her. She's also thorough and responsive with communication. Worth every penny.”
About: I am a previous dog owner and current cat mom. I grew up watching dog and cat training shows on TV and going to in person purebred dog and cat show events. I enjoy spending my time with furry friends. I'm a in-home caregiver to my mom so I have lots of time to take care of your pet. I have weekly events on Sundays and Wednesdays, but can easily work around those times. I have a long line for when your pet is outside and lots of patio seating to supervise and play with your pet the whole time. I also have a crate for indoor use.
“I just recently got a dog and I work night shift as a nurse. I’ve discovered that my doggy has pretty severe separation anxiety. She completely tore through her dog bed, ripped a hole in the carpet, and even started to bend the metal wires of my crate. I was able to watch my dog on my pet camera and knew she was struggling. Jess went ABOVE AND BEYOND with her care. She cleaned up the messes and even came over early one night when I knew my dog was freaking out. I truly couldn’t survive this week at work without Jess. Forever grateful and 100000% recommend.”
“Emily is awesome. She took care of my Curry Boi and Chickpea. She fed them and took pictures for peace of mind . You can tell she really cares about them . Thanks Emily for all you do !!”
“Annalise did a great job taking care of my cat Gus! She was consistent in the time she came to feed him and even added an extra visit when our travel plans changed!”
“Cilyr was attentive to the needs of my cats, willing to clean up after them more than I had asked, and careful not to stress them out more than needed. Sge also made a clear attempt to play and interact with each. Overall very effective, even if my cats were too shy to engage much.”
About: Hi! I'm Jen and I'm a self-professed animal lover! Cats and dogs are a big part of my life. My family always used in-home pet sitting for our dogs, a couple of whom were traumatized and required a little more comfort than most. I understand how it can be hard to leave a dog in a kennel or an unfamiliar home. That's where I come in! Let me pamper your fur baby and put your mind at ease. I am an elementary school teacher on summer break, so I have pretty wide-open availability for the season. I craft heavily when I'm not working, but that can always be paused to attend to pets :) I believe in respect for animals first and foremost! Reading their body language and listening to their cues is crucial. I also believe in trusting owners’ advice about their pets since you know your fur baby best!
About: I’ve been caring for my own cats since I was in 3rd grade, learning the importance of caring for them in many aspects through feeding them, cleaning their litter boxes, and respecting their needs of play time vs needing space. I started caring for my friends animals in college and that’s when I learned more about dogs and how to tell what dogs are friendly, when they need space, etc. Respecting animals and giving them the love and care they deserve is of utmost importance to me. I have a fairly flexible job, so I’m able to fit in visits almost any time of day. The only day I’m not flexible is Sunday, I work a mandatory 12 hour, so could stop in after my shift but not before or during. Respecting people’s space and privacy is important to me, if I’m walking your dog and caring for your cats, you can trust me to do the job at hand and leave your space in one piece. Keeping a clean home is important to me, so you can rest assured that if your pet makes a little mess, it will be cleaned up for you and you’ll never know it happened.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 734 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Riley. 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 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Riley. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
