“Karina was great! I received updates and pictures while I was away. She took such great care of my boys and they enjoyed their time with her. Will definitely book again ☺️”
“Jennifer has been walking my dog weekly for over four months now and he loves her! She provides pictures every time, but more importantly, he is tired every evening afterward. She knows the area and takes him on great long walks. She has also made friends with the cat who warmed up to her very quickly. Thank you Jennifer for being so wonderful with Jasper and Diego!”
“Jillian did a fantastic job of taking care of our precious Gemma cat. My cat usually doesn't like other people but she warmed right up to Jillian and became friends instantly. Gemma was well loved and taken care of and I will be using Jillian's services again next time we leave town. Thanks again Jill! ❤️😽”
“Amy did an excellent job with our cats, and was very communicative when issues arose. Our cats were happy and well cared for, and I would happily recommend her to anyone!”
“Sonia did a great job making sure my cat had food and water at her usual times! My cat is very shy and likes to hide. Sonia made sure Phyllis was OK by taking pictures of Phyllis in her favorite spot. Gave me peace of mind that my cat was healthy and doing fine while I was away.”
About: I’ve loved and cared for animals my entire life, starting with the two German Shepards (Satori and Jazzy) my parents had when I was born all the way up to my two cats (Lady and Tigerlily) and dog (Clyde) who bring me joy and purpose every day. I grew up with dogs, cats, chickens and goats, learning to care, appreciate and work with animals from a young age. I’ve been professionally pet and house sitting for 4 years now and have loved every second of it. I work part time doing data analytics remote work. I set my own schedule and I will always prioritize you, your pets and your home. I care for my own and my clients’ pets through keeping them company, making sure their physical, mental and medical needs are met and by keeping them to their routines. I lead with compassion, empathy and responsibility.
About: Having a lifetime's worth of caring for my own pets gives me a wealth of experience and knowledge with critters of all shapes and sizes. Family, friends, and neighbors have entrusted me to feed, play with, and even just check in on their pets and homes since I was a child. When you can't be there, I am happy to make sure your buddy gets all the love, attention, exercise, and affection they deserve. Rest assured that whether your pet is an old friend or a new addition, I will provide customized care - from snuggles to medication, walks to post-surgical care, and everything in between! I have a very flexible schedule, so I have plenty of time to play with your pet(s)! My availability includes regularly scheduled visits and drop ins are welcome. I can also be available on short notice. I enjoy providing conscientious, customized, and individualized care. Please share with me any favorite games, treats, and rewards! Trust, safety, satisfaction, and attention to detail are my highest priorities.
About: I have loved cats and dogs all my life, and have even made dog grooming my career. I have over 18 years of experience working with dogs, and caring for them outside of work. Pets are our best friends and family, and caring for them is a passion of mine. I am available seven days a week, typically, and work part time, currently. My availability is open in the later afternoons and evenings, with mornings available upon request. I have cared for my cat for over 13 years. I regularly care for my sister’s 2 dogs and cat when she is out of town. I care for my roommate’s cat and dog regularly and when she is away. Dog walking, pet feeding and loving- are regular activities for me.
“I am very thankful we found Bev to care for our cat Cote. Cote is a tamed feral cat and a long haired domestic. She is timid and slow to warm up to newcomers and adding to the quandary Cote is a perfect Primadonna. About 2 hours after we left Bev went over to check on Cote and sent a picture of Cote's surprised expression!! We requested three 1/2-hour check-ins a day. Within a couple of feedings, Bev sent an image showing Cote eating treats out of her hand!! Cote will only eat her wet food warmed and with a bit of water added and stirred into it, and Bev had no trouble doing that. Bev also realized that Cote required her food to be located wherever she was sitting in order for her to eat. In one picture Cote was eating her warmed food in the lawn!! Bev also earned the ability to pet Cote. The pictures and comments Bev sent were fun and comical and she stayed in contact with us the whole time we were gone. Bev has an innate sense about animals and their needs, and I feel very comfortable taking vacations now that we have found Bev to look after our furry Primadonna.”
About: What sets me apart as a sitter is how attentive and patient I am with animals. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and comfort level so they feel safe and relaxed while their owner is away. I’m very reliable, detail-oriented, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. I’m especially gentle with nervous or shy pets and make sure they get plenty of reassurance, exercise, and affection at their own pace. I’m comfortable following specific feeding schedules, administering basic care as instructed, and keeping owners updated with messages and photos so they have peace of mind. I truly enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they feel happy, cared for, and loved in a calm, positive environment. Pet care fits well into my weekly routine. I attend college on Mondays and Wednesdays, am mostly home and available on Tuesdays and Thursdays, and available Fridays until the evening. I work short weekend shifts but remain flexible for pet care before and after work. I live in an apartment with two cats and maintain a calm, clean, and safe environment. I carefully follow feeding, exercise, and medication instructions, give pets plenty of attention, and adjust care based on their comfort level. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their routines, keep spaces tidy, and provide updates so owners feel confident their pets are well cared for.
About: I have been taking care of animals since I was 18. Ive worked at multiple doggy day cares and training. I dont have any pets myself so your animal will have my full attention. I also take care of cats. I grew up with a ton in my family home. Im currently unemployed, I have been aboard. Im taking my time to find a job that involves pets. So my attention will be fully on your pet. I can care for your pets in whatever way you possible require. I have all the free time in the world to make sure your pet is taken care of.
“Hayden did an amazing job taking care of our 2 cats and fish for 21 days! She left us a full summary of her visits each day. The house was clean and the pets were happy when we got home. We will definitely ask her to pet sit in the future.”
“Caitlin goes beyond expectations. This is the 2nd time I hire her to check in on my cat and I'm very happy with her professionalism. Her visit photos and notes are lovely and they give me peace of mind that my cat is doing well.”
About: I recently moved back in to the area from California. We are still getting our bearings off the city and finding new places to play and explore As a disabled veteran and single mom, i am home most of the time, outside of some time at the gym or taking my 3 year old to the park. She loves animals, is quite gentle, and is never just left with animals alone. She tends to be helpful in filling Lola's bowl with water and food and tossing a treat to show some love. If kids are not okay, I am child free Saturday through Sunday afternoons, for those times when you need to be doggy free. Fresh water is provided inside and out on the deck to bask, as well as a constant eye when not out for a walk. I tend to avoid dog parks with other people's pets under my watch, I'd prefer to maintain a safe and predictable environment.
“Elizabeth was fantastic! Communicated well and we felt comfortable leaving our cats with a sitter for the first time. Highly recommend her for any future pet care needs!”
About: Twenty plus years of fun taking care of cats, dogs of different breeds, temperaments, ages, and sizes, and even some chickens. Including Noah's ark - a rabbit, hamster, rat, and fish. I have completed Rover's safety dog video. I grew up with dogs. My energy level is low-key and calm, which enables pets to relax. I give daily text updates and send photos. I have experience in giving shots (to my cat, who had diabetes), playing tug of war, throwing the ball, and taking Fido for walks. Currently I am not working a permanent job, so my availability is wide open (other than Sunday morning commitments & taking care of my place each day). I care for your pets in your home in the way you want them cared for. I give them the time to get used to me & treat them with gentleness and love. Making sure they are safe and having fun is important to me.
About: Hello! My name is Felix, I'm nonbinary, my pronouns are they/them, and I've lived and worked with animals for over a decade! Before entering the working world, my experience came from my own pets. I'm often asked by family, friends, and neighbors to take care of their pets while they're gone. Sometimes even just if they need assistance giving their pup a bath! My experience lies mostly with cats and dogs, but I'm also familiar with reptiles and comfortable with smaller mammals. I've worked in professional petcare with multiple species of animals and as a sitter specifically for about 4 years now. My schedule is currently open! Which means I'm able to dedicate my time to your furbabies! I'm open to staying in your home for the entire time you'll be gone, or I can just pop in for potty breaks and meals. I'm a fast learner and take detailed notes to make sure I won't forget anything! To keep your pets happy, healthy, and safe, not only do I follow instructions to the letter, I pay close attention to your pet to learn their behavior. What makes them happy? What are their boundaries? Every pet is unique. They all have different experiences and personalities. Respect for that fact is the most important part of meeting new animals. I will strive to not only make sure you're comfortable with me caring for your pets, but to ensure your pets are comfortable with me as well.
“Kelsie was an absolute dream to work with! Kelsie did weekly drop-in visits for me for 6+ months. My very shy and nervous dog loved her and I never had any concerns for his safety or happiness when he was in her care. She is communicative, flexible, and exceptionally trustworthy. I would highly recommend Kelsie to care for your fur babies!”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - River Road
Erin provided excellent care to my senior cats. She gracefully navigated complications presented by my partially-socialized feral cat, who fears most humans. Erin provided descriptive visit summaries and arrived at consistent times every day. I will ask her to care for them in the future.
Jillian did a fantastic job of taking care of our precious Gemma cat. My cat usually doesn't like other people but she warmed right up to Jillian and became friends instantly. Gemma was well loved and taken care of and I will be using Jillian's services again next time we leave town. Thanks again Jill! ❤️😽
As a first time user of Rover, it gave us a lot of confidence to meet Tyler in advance at our house and review the details of cat care. Tyler was right on time every day and sent me pictures which was so lovely. Even my moody cat warmed up to him after a few days! I think he did a great job and I plan on bringing him back for our next trip!
Caitlin was a wonderful sitter! She was able to care for our two cats last-minute, and I truly appreciated the way she gave our Chloe girl play and pets. She successfully found our scaredy-boy Oatis hiding under a bed so we were assured he was doing just fine. Water, food and litter boxes were all refreshed daily. And she handled our sticky front door! I would love to book Caitlin the next time we go on vacation. She gave us peace of mind and beautiful pictures.
Llewyn is simply the best. They are kind and patient with my shy kitties and even managed to get a close up photo of my little feral kitty! They were flexible and responsive and this kept me confident the cats were well cared for while I was away. I will rebook with them for sure!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in River Road on Rover is $19.98 per visit (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 606 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across River Road. 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 Road. 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.
