“Briony was amazing with Cooper and he really enjoyed his time with her! It was my first time leaving him with a new person. She was very patient, communicative, supportive while I was away. She really went out of her way to make sure I was comfortable with the care she provided. Cooper had several hot spots that were in different phases of healing. She was very attentive to his care and made sure he got what he needed during every visit. Furthermore, after a power outage, my fridge had a leak. She communicated that to me asap and did what she could to ensure there was no additional damage. 10/10 would definitely recommend!!!”
“Mary is the absolute best! She’s been watching my cats for a while now and always makes me feel so safe in leaving them in her care :) they’re always well loved while i’m away!”
About: I am a 22 year old hard worker, college student and animal lover. I’ve recently (May 2025) taken in a puppy of my own, her name is Bella! She is a dog-friendly and people loving blue nosed bully. Other than her, I’ve watched pets as large as full grown Golden Doodles and German shepherds to as small as Yorkie’s and kittens. I have a huge heart and will love any pet as my own. I can give all the care to your pet! I tend to fit my own schedule around work, so any time you book I will give it my full attention . In my own home, my dog is walked for at least 10 minutes 3-4 times a day, fed twice a day, given treats and taken to the park consistently depending on weather. I am more that happy to do the same with your pet with a few tweaks of your choice if necessary. I always make sure to bring water out with me during any outings. If anything such as special care is needed, please let me know in advance.
“Emily ha cuidado de mis perritos en 8 ocasiones y no deja de sorprenderme. Siempre muy responsable y atenta a cada detalle. Es una excelente sitter. Ellos la adoran y yo tambien. :)”
“I have such amazing things to say about Marisa!! First of all she is just a great person! Second off, I have a very stubborn 6 year old German shepherd that is extremely protective of his home and somewhat standoffish at first. We had a meet and greet a few days before our trip and max seemed to like her so we felt confident it would work out. After several treats and a few visits max warmed right up to her and now they are best buds! She took her time and got to know the big sweet boy underneath his stubbornness lol! We will definitely be rebooking with her every time we are out of town! I recommend her 1000%!”
About: Hi there! I’ve been an animal lover my whole life, caring for pets like dogs, cats, and even ferrets. I’m currently in college studying to become a vet tech and work at a doggy daycare and boarding facility, where I care for pets of all sizes and personalities. I started pet sitting in August of last year and have loved every second of it! I provide personalized care, whether it’s walks, playtime, or cuddles, and I treat every pet like family. Let me know how I can help care for your furry friends—I’d love to meet them! I am currently a student, and my work schedule varies weekly, typically ranging between 6:00 AM and 6:30 PM. However, I pride myself on being highly flexible and am happy to accommodate your needs with clear and timely communication. I currently have two dogs at home—a pit mix and a greyhound mix. My pit mix does not get along with other dogs, so I have experience managing and keeping dogs safely separated when necessary. I am also experienced in administering medications and ensuring pets receive the care they need. Additionally, I provide detailed updates and photos throughout the day to keep you informed and at ease.
“Monique did such a great job with my baby girl Kimora. Very caring and pays attention to details and reliable. Communicating Very well, definitely will be booking more with her.”
“Amazing sitter! She sent so many pictures on the rover card and went above and beyond during the booking when there was a emergency. She followed all the instructions carefully and was always on-time. Will definitely book again! Highly recommend”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs, cats, lizards and more since I was 10 years old. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me for years to care for their pets. I’m currently unemployed and a stay at home mom. The kids are going back to school and I’d really love to try and fill my day with some activities that bring me joy, such as caring for sweet fur babies. I feed, groom and bathe, and play with all the pets I’ve been responsible for since the age of 10. I can’t wait to meet yours!
About: I have a lifetime of experience caring for a variety of animals, including dogs, cats, reptiles, fish, and chickens. While I'm comfortable with animals of all sizes, I'm most experienced with large dogs, and have no problem managing pups who weigh well over a hundred pounds. I also have experience training puppies, and am currently learning the basics of canine massage. Around me, your fur baby will always be happy, well-loved, and protected! I'm currently unemployed outside of pet-sitting and dog walking, so my schedule is generally pretty open. Most of my availability is in the morning and early afternoon, but I'm quite flexible as it relates to scheduling. Please let me know if you require my services outside of my typical hours, and I'll be happy to try and accommodate you! When taking clients on walks, I'm careful to ensure their safety and comfort. I often bring booties with me to protect their feet on hot days, and make sure I'm stocked up on water and pet parent-compliant treats before embarking on walks. While walking, I let dogs sniff around as much as they like, and provide a gentle guiding hand and a vigilant eye to protect them from harm. Before I leave, I check to make sure all entrances are locked in order to maintain the safety of my clients and their home.
About: I’ve always been happiest around animals. Between my background in Veterinary Technology, experience in dog grooming, volunteering at my local animal shelter, and having pets my whole life, I’ve had the opportunity to work with all kinds of personalities. I love getting to know each pet and making sure they feel comfortable, cared for, and understood. Animals have always been a big part of my life. Pet care naturally fits into my routine through my experience caring for my own pets, volunteering at an animal shelter, and my animal care background. I enjoy providing reliable attention, companionship, and care for pets. I focus on making each pet feel comfortable by following their normal routine and paying attention to their individual personality and needs. I have experience with a variety of animals through my personal pets, shelter volunteering, grooming training, and animal care education. I prioritize safety, patience, communication with owners, and providing a positive experience while they’re away.

About: I’ve always had a deep love for animals. I’ve cared for my own dogs, fish, and other pets, and I understand how important it is to treat every animal with patience, love, and attention. With my background as a teacher, substitute teacher, and babysitter, I’m experienced in being responsible and caring for different needs. I’d love the opportunity to provide dependable, loving care for your pets and can’t wait to meet you and your animal companions!
About: Hello! I’m Adreana and I've seen the nitty, the gritty, and the nasty...nothing can scare me away, trust me I volunteered for a shelter in college lol. In terms of my tangible experience, I've logged an immense amount of hours volunteering at animal shelters and pet-sitting for various friends and family. I'm a huge advocate for exercise and fitness for pets so if you leave your dog with me, I guarantee that we will be going on runs and playing outside. I have my own fur baby and she is my whole life, I’ve even opted out of having kids ?? doggies will do. I one day hope to own my own “no-kill” shelter. If you book me I promise your dog will thank you!

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Riverdale
Kerry did an amazing job caring for my girls. From the pictures and updates she sent, I could tell they felt comfortable and trusted her. I truly appreciate the care, attention, and support she provided while I was out of town. As a first-time mom navigating postpartum, being away from them was difficult, and Kerry went above and beyond to reassure me. Whenever I felt nervous or anxious, she made sure I knew they were doing well. She even sent me a video of my dog when I shared concerns that she might be missing me, which meant so much. Kerry made me feel completely comfortable and confident in her ability to care for my girls. She also captured some amazing group pictures that I will cherish. I highly recommend booking with her she is thoughtful, caring, and truly wonderful at what she does.

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Riverdale on Rover is $21.09 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 2,953 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Riverdale. 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.

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.
