“Mary is an absolutely wonderful pet sitter! She provided exceptional, top-tier service and was incredibly caring and responsible with our cat. It gave us total peace of mind knowing she was in such capable, loving hands. She is professional, trustworthy, and goes above and beyond. Highly, highly recommended!”
“Joanna does a great job in everything we requested for caring for our puppy. He can be a handful, but she is more than capable. She is thorough, responsive, and kind. She does great work and would recommend her to anyone in need of a dog sitter. It was a relief to find someone we could trust with our newest family member and it helps a lot in his growth.”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life, usually multiple at a time, all shapes and sizes. Your pup will receive top-tier, attentive care with your instructions followed to the letter. Beyond that, expect plenty of walks, play sessions, cuddles, and adventures. I genuinely love dogs and treat every pet like my own. As a student, I have a flexible schedule and can accommodate almost any timing mornings, evenings, weekends, you name it. I work around your needs and will always make your pet my top priority. I have a friendly dog at home who loves meeting new friends! When watching pets in your home, you can expect to come back to everything exactly as you left it, if not a little cleaner. I treat every home and pet with the utmost respect and care.
“Donai was exceptional! I knew when she came to meet Alice and Hank and she got on the floor to meet them, and asked for some treats to win them over, that she had already won over my approval. She gave me daily updates and daily pictures. It made me so happy on my trip to both see them, and also see that they were being well cared for and loved. Would definitely book Donai again!!”
About: I've had dogs, cats, and rabbits but have also cared for guinea pigs, turtles and fish. Caring for your pet the way you do is most important. I am available most days and times. My open availability leaves you with piece of mind knowing there's someone that can help any time of the day. I have a big yard and will be spending lots of time outside. Really big on taking hikes, and playing ball. Staying hydrated will also be priority.non smoker.
About: I own my own dog, who is well trained, along with caring for neighbors dogs, and training. I have puppy sat at my own home for multiple nights. In my free time I watch a lot of dog training videos and love to do animal research. I enjoy cats while I do have limited experience. I am a full time college student however, I have my evenings free on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, and weekends work great for me as well. I love training and I am extremely passionate about animals research so I love to learn more. I am detail oriented, and I have a dog of my own and have pet sat before so I have experience. I am really good with communication and respond frequently and in a timely manner, and I am relatively flexible with timing if need be.
About: I am the biggest animal lover and I would agree that they love me just as much! I am a babysitter and I work as a substitute in the GCCS school system. (Requests outside of my radius may require a travel fee) I am a substitute teacher so with that I do not have to work every single day which gives me extra free time for pet care! I offer care for pets in a clients home by following all instructions and respecting my clients space, boundaries and pets. I understand how much fur babies mean!
“Bayley was awesome with drop in visits for our dog! She took great care of her, especially responding to her fear of storms, which were plentiful while we were gone. She also quickly accepted our request to extend services after our return flight was cancelled. Highly recommended!”
“Missy was very communicative and caring to my cat. It was first time using a sitter for him. I was a bit nervous as we had just moved and worried my cat would not do well. Would definitely rebook with Missy!”
“We had booked Jonah to watch our girls on short notice while we had to go out of state for a few days. He had gone out of his way to revisit the pups a few extra times to ensure that they received the care and playtime they needed. Jonah really showed his love for animals when caring for our pups. He made sure that they got more than enough potty breaks and lots of love, attention, and TREATS! Jonah always provided us with updates, along with pictures, during his visits and made us aware of any problems that may have occurred. He would also ask us any questions he had during his visits to ensure that everything was correct. After having Jonah take care of our girls, we can really see that he cares and loves them just as much as we do. We will definitely be contacting Jonah to watch over our fur babies in the future!”
“We’ve used Ashlea for our high energy puppy as well as our 2 cats and she did a great job! Even when the puppy has some excitement pee problems, no issues 😅 she’s very communicative, punctual, and even helped us out for extra house care duties because of an emergency. Completely dependable :)”
About: I grew up with multiple pets, we often called it the "Cook Family Zoo". I've helped take care of many cats, dogs, turtles, fish and even ferrets at one point! I currently have two dogs a terrier/cattle dog mix and a German shepherd/lab mix puppy! They both are rescues and love to cuddle. I volunteer with a local dog rescue and am a proud foster fail. :) I’m passionate about protecting all furry friends and finding the perfect home for each loving animal. I love all animals, big or small, and do my best to be flexible and communicate with you quickly and thoroughly. I hope you will consider me to help take care of your loved ones and I will be sure to give them lots of love while you're away. Currently working full time but have availability on weekends and most evenings to help out! I also have flexibility at work so depending on your needs can make drop in visits and walks during the day. I work from home occasionally too so I can usually be flexible as needed. If visiting your home I would respect your wishes around routine training, diet and behavior. I typically provide photos and/or text updates of your pet so you know they’re doing well and we’ll looked after even when you’re not able to be there!

About: I have been taking care of animals since I was a child, but have had my 3 cats for 13 years now. I recently moved, so I let them live with my mom sadly, I do miss them. Outside of my cats, I have helped walk and care for other dogs the past few years. If you give special instructions on how you would like for me to care for your dog/cat, I will do exactly that since I will be coming to your place and/or walking them. UPDATED AS OF 6/16/26- for now please refer to this update until life gets less busy. I have a 2 year old so I cannot watch your animals at your home at this current time, but I would still love to drop in and take care of them through the day or take them on walks. I can care for them at my home also. The hours listed below are still correct 😊 I work Monday-Friday until 3:30pm, but I can also come before work, take my lunch to let your pups out for a potty break half way through my shift! I always am off on the holidays. I do have every Saturday and Sunday completely free. After 3:30pm on the weekdays I have the entire day to spend with your animals :) I will follow all your instructions you give me for caring for your animals. I will always treat them like I would my own animals!
“It was great having Kristine drop in to hang out with Bodi for an hour each day last week. She was communicative, professional, and left detailed report cards for her visits. She took Bodi on a walk one day to the park when our backyard was unavailable due to contractors fixing the fence post wind storm. We appreciate her flexibility and care.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 560 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across River Ridge. 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 Ridge. On Rover:
- 95% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 99% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 100% can help with daily exercise
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.
