“Daniel came to our rescue when we learned of a death in the family. He was not in town when we left but took care of our cat that very evening when he returned home. He took care of our orchids and herbs and became fast friends with our cat. We are very grateful for his services.”
“Travis spent a meaningful amount of time and effort on our kitties over two weeks; keeping them fed, entertained, and cared for. Compared to previous trips where we didn't know who would come that day and how good a job they would do, going through Rover and being able to trust that Travis was coming every day really relieved our anxiety and allowed us to enjoy the trip. The difference for Baku and Gojo was obvious as soon as we came home, like we had only gone out for groceries. There was a bit much hard food in the bowls, but we'll just update our instructions for future trips, as Travis has always been responsive and caring when communicating. The boys did just fine, which is another sign that Baku wasn't stressed out, as he usually can't be free fed. Pictures were good and showed clearly that Travis was spending time with the boys including lap time (Baku) and wand time (Gojo). We are very appreciative to have been able to rely on Travis and take such a long trip!”
“Jan was great!! Super friendly- sent me pictures of Milo. I will definitely schedule again with her and recommend her to anyone looking for a cat sitter! Thanks:)”
About: Having grown up with family dogs of all shapes and sizes, I understand the love and attention required to properly care for a pet. I love walking dogs, playing catch, and giving lots of head and belly scratches when welcome. I am very detail-oriented, so I'm great at following any type of routine a dog may be on, or just giving them the space and relaxation they need. I also enjoy caring for cats and giving them the attention - or the space - they want. I'm very flexible and go-with-the-flow to make sure I'm giving your pet what they need and you want. I work from home on the upper east side and available on most days to be friends with your beloved animal! I work from home full time and have a fairly flexible schedule. I occasionally travel for work, but I have the ability to drop in and care for your critters most days. As a pet-owner, I understand the importance of your unique routine and the anxiety with trusting someone else to uphold it. I value clear and detailed communication and will follow specifications or ask for any clarity if needed, sending photo updates if requested, and caring for your pets as if they were my own.
“Lily is wonderful! She is so accommodating and truly cares for our pups even though they can be a tad difficult! We truly appreciate her and the care she has when she watches or checks-in on our pups!”
“We have hired Angela twice, and would love to have her again. We have 2 very shy cats and they actually come out and play with her. Angela is very thorough and gives us updates with pictures during every visit.”
“Madeline has helped out with Cleo twice now. She has been amazing taking great care of her and taking her on walks and sending lots of photos of her! She truly does a great job!”
“Suzi is a remarkable communicator. She shares wonderful pictures and made us feel connected and confident in our dogs wellbeing while we were away. She genuinely cares about making the pets feel cherished, Bodhi told me so!! ? I appreciated her flexibility with some additional requests for feeding the Gecko. She is diligent, smart, timely, and heartcentered.”
About: I’ve taken care of pets since I was 10. I have a golden retriever now and love all kinds of dogs. I grew up around dogs my whole life so I am very comfortable with them! I have 3 years of experience in dog walking as well as housesitting. I’m currently in college but my class schedule is light this semester and I am available the whole week. At home I have a golden retriever who I walk three times a day, morning, evening and night. At my house I have a fenced in backyard but I also like to take my dog for long walks as well. I am comfortable walking dogs long distances.
“Wonderful with both of our dogs. Our standard poodle loves her longer walk. Our 15 year old miniature poodle who has vision problems loves his walks as well as the pickup and carry around. Paul is also excellent with his eye medication.”
About: My sister and I grew up playing and helping our older neighbors in the area walk and take care of their dogs. My family has had cats my whole life that I’ve had experience taking care of. In high school I’d house/pet sit friends & family friends’ dogs & cats while they were on vacation. A recent graduate of UWMilwaukee with an open schedule! Looking to fill that time taking care of, spending time with, and getting to know your pets! I love the outdoors and I can take your dogs on lots of walks based on their needs! I always check if doors are locked before I leave/sleep & make sure to put away anything that pets can get into if they are left to roam. I stay clean so I make sure to clean any mess I or the pets create. I can also crate your pets if needed.
“Melissa dropped in to check on my 2 cats for four days. She was kind, dependable and responsible which gave me peace of mind, especially considering one of my cats is elderly and needs daily medication.”
The median cost per visit for cat sitting in River Hills is $20
Cat parents share their Rover experiences - River Hills
Sofia was absolutely fantastic- during our initial meeting, her first impression was so lovely and kind and the cats were completely drawn to her. She went above and beyond brushing them and cleaning up messes. We will definitely be calling her to care for them again.
This was our first time having Becky check in on our shy cat. Becky came when promised, followed all of my (overly obsessive) directions to a "T", and managed to cajole Sophie into coming out and interacting with her. Sophie and our home were in great hands, and we would definitely use Becky again.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in River Hills on Rover is $19.98 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 1,026 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across River Hills. 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 River Hills. 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.
