“Heather was great! I have a pack of five dogs and she handled them so well. One of them is incredibly shy and even he started coming around after a couple days. She communicated very well, showed up for all appointments, and my dogs seemed very happy to have her around. Thank you! 🐾”
“Courtney was absolutely amazing. She sent plenty of photos along with thoughtful, detailed updates, and my cat clearly adored her. I’m so grateful for her — especially for being so flexible on such short notice. I would book her again in a heartbeat, 1000%!”
“Diana was absolutely wonderful with our dog and cat! Our dog is older, very anxious with new people, and takes several medications. Diana put her at ease, and handled her so well that we had no worries while we were away. Our cat is a super chill boy, who loved his time with Diana. Diana sent many great pictures and updates so that we could rest easy during our trip. It is so rare that we find someone to care for our pup who she can actually relax around, and we are so happy to have found Diana. We will definitely be using her services again!”
“Michelle did an amazing job taking care of my two boys while I was away. She was on time for every visit, sent lots of great photos, and kept me updated on how they were doing, which gave me so much peace of mind. She even left the sweetest note for me when I returned. It’s not easy finding someone you can truly trust with your fur babies, but Michelle exceeded all my expectations. I will definitely be using her again in the future and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!”
“Marley was absolutely fantastic with our 5-month-old puppy, Goose! He’s definitely a handful, but everything went incredibly smoothly. Her quick and consistent communication before, during, and after her visit gave me complete confidence that he was in great hands. I also loved the pictures she shared and appreciated the updates throughout her time with him. I would happily have Marley watch Goose again and highly recommend her!”
About: I can’t provide you references in history of taking care of animals. What I can tell you is that I have two beautiful grown children. We have rescued animals over the last 24 years, and love them dearly as though they are part of the family. We truly love animals with our full heart, and go that extra distance to attend to their needs, and provide the love they deserve. I will provide the same love, care, and joy to your babies as I have done to ours for so many years. I am an empty nester and want to provide my love to where it’s needed and wanted. I work from home and can set own schedule. I am available seven days a week. I will stand behind my commitment to you. Responsibility is my priority. I will love and care for your pets as if they’re my own, and I will follow the rules we’ve established. I have a Pet Sitter Notes page that we can complete together, or I can send to you before my visit that will address some of these questions/ideas. Please give me a chance. I won't let you or your pet down!
“Alexia is a Great Pet Sitter, she helped Rako out for 9 days, with our return He was Given Food and Water, and there was no mess. I love how she took care of his pads. Great Young Lady to hire.”
“Hahahaa your review made me laugh. Chino is my sweet baby boy. He’s not really a baby anymore, more like a mischievous teenager haha! I’m happy you caught him! Thank you for that! And thank you soooo much for helping with Daisy on such short notice. I’m sure you made her night.”
“Had a great, worry-free trip knowing the cats were in such wonderful care with Andrew! He is extremely communicative, prompt, and followed all directions to a "t". Definitely looking forward to using his services again!”
“Jessica was really great with our shy, older cat! He is very low maintenance but she still spent lots of time giving him love and attention. I’m so happy we found Jessica and we plan to use her for our next trip!!”
“Maddi was amazing! She checked in on our dogs every day for a week and was always communicative and punctual. She did a great Rover card every time and went the extra mile to cuddle with the dogs when it was too hot to play outside. We love Maddi and highly recommend her!”
“Leticia did a great job taking care of my cat Madison. Madison is a loner and doesn't warm up to people but he trusted Leticia from the start. I loved the photos and videos that she forwarded to me. It gave me peace of mind to know that he was well cared for. I hope that Leticia will be available the next time I need to be away from home for an extended period of time.”
About: Hi! I’m Miranda, and I’ve been caring for dogs and cats for about five years. I have experience with pets of all ages—from energetic puppies and kittens to senior pets who need a little extra care. I’m comfortable administering medications, following detailed routines, and making sure each pet feels safe, loved, and relaxed while you’re away. I genuinely love animals, and my goal is to help pet parents feel completely confident that their furry family member is in great hands. Whether it’s playtime, walks, cuddles, or calm companionship, I’m here to give your pet the attention and care they deserve. I currently work part-time and only 12-20 hrs a week. This leaves me with so much time to look after the dogs. I am free every morning from 6-9:30 and in the evenings after 6:30. I am also flexible and can work with each dog owner to have their needs meet. I live in a very pet friendly neighborhood. I do not have a fenced in yard, but I will keep a very close eye on the dog. I do many walks and sometimes go on a daily run. So lots of walks is no problem for me. I can crate the dog too.
“Ellie was absolutely amazing! She took marvelous care of our cats and provided detailed notes as to how the cats were doing during each visit. The pictures she provided were adorable. We would gladly re-book her and recommend her for pet sitting.”
About: I bring over 15 years of hands-on experience with animals to ensure your pet receives the best care possible. Having trained numerous puppies over the years, I understand the importance of positive reinforcement and tailored approaches. My commitment to an active lifestyle means your furry friend will enjoy not just routine walks but engaging activities. I take pride in providing customized services to meet the unique needs of each pet, whether it's energetic playtime or gentle care for seniors. Your pet's well-being is my top priority, and my extensive experience sets me apart as a dedicated and knowledgeable caregiver. I currently work remotely for a mobile dog grooming company during the weeks and have freedom to travel to my clients homes during this time to ensure all time possible is spent with my furry friends for maximum cuddles and company! I have 3 dogs who love to have new mates to play with in our fenced in back yard! They will also be great for keeping your dog company during the days where they miss their family. We love the dog park so if approved of, we would love to take a few trips to play! I can easily crate your dog if needed or requested as long as a crate is provided. They are welcome in any part of our home and of course, on the couch and beds for some snuggles!

Sarah was so sweet with our normally very shy cat who warmed up to her very quickly! A testament to how great she is with animals. Sarah was also very communicative and sent lots of pictures, which made me feel so much more at ease! Will definitely be requesting Sarah for any future needs.
Pam is very conscientious, loving and professional. She took care of my four cats and dog and made sure they were happy and healthy. She even had to take one of my cats to the emergency vet late at night. I really appreciate Pam taking such good care of my beloved pets. It made it a lot easier for me to relax while I was on vacation.
During our second round of visits, Bird showed some signs of stress. Chrissie worked diligently with me to accommodate Bird and do whatever she could to make her comfortable. I really appreciated that! She also did some extra things for us like bring up the trash cans and bring in packages. Lovely to work with her!!
Calli was great taking take of my two cats, especially as they were adjusting to a new home (and having some behavioral challenges). She was lovey to communicate with and gave my guys lots of love while I was away. I came home to a clean house & happy cats! Will definitely book again!
Leticia did a great job taking care of my cat Madison. Madison is a loner and doesn't warm up to people but he trusted Leticia from the start. I loved the photos and videos that she forwarded to me. It gave me peace of mind to know that he was well cared for. I hope that Leticia will be available the next time I need to be away from home for an extended period of time.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Riva on Rover is $18.32 per visit (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 7,022 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Riva. 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 Riva. On Rover:

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.
