“Rhiana was great as always! Beau was a happy puppy when I came home, and she even made sure he took his medicine when he got a little GI bug on the last couple days she was with him. We'll miss her!”
About: I have taken care of dogs for a friend for a few years now. I also have experience with taking care of a local family’s 2 sweet dogs. I have been their go to for a few years now. I also have experience as a pet owner, I grew up with dogs my entire life, at one time we had a pack of 8. My goal is to ease your pet’s anxiety when their favorite person is not there. I will work to make sure your pet has the structure they need, the enrichment they crave, and the love they deserve. I do work full time Monday -Friday 8am-5pm so I am free on weekends and happy to stay with the animals when I’m not working. I can also check in on my lunch hour to ensure they have the restroom breaks they need and the enrichment time. I am very attentive when I am caring for you furry family members. I make sure that they have fresh water and get fed at the correct times. I always send photo updates each time the pets go outside or eat. I am very flexible with what is required if you’re able to be flexible and understanding of my work schedule.
About: Hi! I’m new to Rover and am currently trying to build my portfolio. I volunteered at the Cincinnati Animal Shelter for 3 consecutive years before I moved to Indianapolis, where I volunteered and fostered at Indy Humane!! I am now in Charlottesville for the summer as I prepare for law school and my boyfriend starts his Masters at UVA. I am currently available because Rover is my main work priority this summer, allowing me flexible scheduling and consistent availability for bookings, care, and communication. I am more than happy to play/watch over with your pet and take care of them in your home or crate them if need be! Whatever works best for you.
“Emilee was great at checking in on my cat Frank! Frank is a bit skittish with other people so I was surprised that Emilee was able to take a few pictures of petting Frank! She also stayed over her 30 minute time frame to keep him company longer. She fed him, cleaned the litter box, and was even nice enough to bring in my mail. 10/10 would recommend.”
“Danielle has been so awesome with our dog who is shy and takes a little time to warm up to new people! She is so responsive and has been great to work with! I feel very comforted knowing our dog is in her good hands while we’re away. Thank you, Danielle!!!!”
“Karlee is a great sitter! She’s super friendly and responsive to visits. She’s done a great job at doing house visits for my puppy to tire him out and keep him engaged when I’m busy. Would definitely recommend!”
“Yana is great! She was scheduled for a drop in for my dogs. They loved her and she gave attention to my cat as well (not that he gives anyone a choice). The dogs were happy and worn out when I got home. I will absolutely be booking with her again.”
“Kailyn was a lifesaver when I needed a last minute pet sitter. She was very responsive, sent detailed updates and pictures, and had no problem handling my cat's different foods and medications. I would definitely use her services again!”
About: I have experience caring for dogs in-home, in a pet hotel, and managing on leash fun. I also ample experience working with exotic pets, zoo animals, and wildlife! There isn’t a species I can’t lovingly and competently care for. Mediation Administration, diet management, and special needs care are my specialties. I provide written updates and pictures of your pet having fun after each visit! When I’m not working as a wildlife care professional, I set aside time to care for your pets! I am available on Tuesdays and Wednesday's, and some other mornings. I request a video meet and greet first to determine if we are a good match. Then, I will get detailed care instructions from the pet owner and will follow them to a T! Always making sure to allow some time for lots of animal cuddles.
“Another great series of drop in visits for our two cats. We appreciate the detailed reports & photos each day! It made our travel stress-free to know such a caring person was taking care of our fur babies.”
“Mitch is hands down the best cat sitter we’ve ever had. He’s one of those rare people who actually responds quickly, keeps you updated without you having to ask, and genuinely likes hanging out with your cats. We got tons of photos while we were away, and you could tell our cats were relaxed and happy with him. He even watered our plants, which we never asked him to do, but it was such a thoughtful touch to come home to everything alive and thriving. If you need someone you can trust with your cats (and apparently your plants too), Mitch is your guy.”
“Megan is very professional and caring. My cats warmed up to her quickly, and she took daily photos to send with her daily updates. I am 100% pleased and will call on her again.”
“Genesis went above and beyond! She took a great care of our cat, she brought some packages in, she helped out with an emergency situation. We are very grateful! And our cat loved her!”
“Emil is super flexible and always willing to help! He’s easy going and took my pup and kindly watched her for my first week of work. It was hard to leave her, so I appreciated all his help!”
“Kris was great! She was available to watch my girl on short notice and went above and beyond, bringing her cat grass and brushing her while I was away.”
“Kristen is the BEST! She was so communicative and went the extra mile to love on our kitties. She even got the shyest one to come out and play! Kristen is such a great sitter and we can’t wait to book her again.”
The median cost per visit for cat sitting in Rio is $20

This is my second time hiring Hollister to watch my kitties. It's always a blessing to have Hollister care for my little cats. I truly appreciate the pictures and detailed updates with every visit. Coming home to see how happy my cats were and how clean my house was was such a joy. I highly recommend Hollister to anyone seeking a caring and detail oriented pet sitter.
Emilee is awesome. She was game to take on a new challenge in the form of my anti-social cat, who has a history of aggression with strangers. Thanks to her I was able to leave on a long trip with confidence that my cat's basic needs would be met in my absence -- I am very grateful!
Kris is an extremely reliable and flexible pet caretaker. Travel is often stressful, but one thing I never worry about while I’m gone is my two cats. Kris takes excellent care of them, including giving medication twice a day. She also is very detailed in her Rover cards. Also, Kris is some kind of cat whisperer — she take the most adorable photos when she does check-ins. My one cat is a goblin but when I see her photos of him, he looks so cute I almost forget what an utter demon he is.
Laura was fantastic! She sent detailed updates and adorable pictures of our two cats every day. She was attentive and responsive, clearly showing her love for cats. She even set up treat puzzles, which were beyond our requests. I highly recommend her to anyone and will definitely book her again!
She was amazing! She was so caring and thoughtful when taking care of our animals. We gave detailed instructions and she not only followed them but made sure to reach out if any questions arose. She was sending us updates regularly with photos. Overall wonderful experience I would recommend her to anyone and felt truly at ease trusting her with my animals.
Rachel was so prompt and responsive! She really helped us out when our pet care fell through last minute. Knowing we could rely on her to take great care of our two cats while we were away made it possible to enjoy our trip without anxiety. We will definitely be returning clients in the future!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Rio on Rover is $19.98 per visit (as of June 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Cat Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Cat Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of June 2026, there are 11 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Rio. 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 administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a 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.
