“She was prompt and very gentle with Fisher. She fed and even cleaned out his litter box. I'm definitely going to go to Emma to look after Fisher whenever I have to stay late for work”
“John and Courtney take wonderful care of our rambunctious dog, and keep our house secure. Their communication is top notch; it’s wonderful to be able to enjoy our trip with no worries!”
“Aubrey did a wonderful job watching over our cats again while we were away. We have an elderly cat with some simple medications that was well taken care of. All 3 of our cats were loved and played with each visit. We are very happy with Aubrey's services, including updates and cleanups.”
“This is the first time using rover. Elizabeth quickly put my mind at ease. She is amazing. My dogs absolutely loved her. I would definitely use her again. I'm so glad I chose her to take care of my fur babies.”
“We had to rush out of town and they immediately responded and did a great job as usual! Even in an emergency situation they responded with genuine care and immediate response! Wrote down great instructions for new meds for one of our pups and went above and so far beyond to ensure he was cared for. If we can help it, we will always contact them to take care of our beloved pets, they are truly amazing and ridiculously caring people and we adore them!”
“If I could give Crowe and Taylor a 100 out of 5, I absolutely would! These two went *above and beyond* in every way possible. Just a day before my flight, my senior pup had an emergency vet visit and was prescribed time-sensitive medications. I had to make last-minute changes to the care schedule, and they were not only incredibly understanding, but also immediately adjusted everything without hesitation—which was such a huge relief during an already stressful time. They cared for my dogs with so much love and attention. They followed every instruction to the letter, kept my home spotless, and even cleaned up after my dogs (one of whom had tummy troubles all weekend). I came back to happy pups and a clean home, which says everything about the level of care they provided. Crowe and Taylor are kind, respectful, responsible, and truly passionate about what they do. I wouldn’t hesitate for a second to rebook them for future trips. Highly, *highly* recommended!”
“Taysha was amazing with my dogs. She went above and beyond all of my expectations and made sure my dogs were well taken care of and loved while I was away. I highly recommend her.”
About: I grew up with dogs since I was about 4! I have a big family with lots of aunts and uncles that rely on me to take care of their dogs while they are gone on trips. I love getting to know pets with all different personalities. I work 8-5 five days a week with rotating days. I go straight back to your home after work and am able to spend the rest of the night with your pets. I have a lunch in the middle of the work day I can check on the pets depending on distance. I am easy to reach outside of sleeping hours and can give any updates needed. I keep a close eye on your pets and keep in touch if anything seems out of the ordinary with them to take the best action.
About: I really like animals, I am very patient and I have experience taking care of pets of my family, friends and now Rover!! , I have a very flexible schedule, I can do anything the pet owner needs for them. And I have a lot available days, if I am not at home because I work part time as a CNA now , my husband will be there and watch them! We have different schedules and and I am pretty much at home studying online!! Your dogs never would be alone 😊 I can work walking your pets, taking care of them in the client's home, buying and leaving things that the pet needs and any other different service you need we could talk about it.
“I’ve booked with them multiple times now, and they’re always amazing. Incredibly caring with my cat and follow all of my instructions perfectly, which gives me so much peace of mind. They’re also very thoughtful and kind with Miko, and it really shows -he genuinely enjoys their visits. I also love the pictures I receive, they make me feel so connected while I’m away. Thank you for keeping him happy!”
“Kimberly came to our apartment for drop-in checkups on my two cats for two weeks. She did a great job communicating and making sure the cats and apartment were well taken care of. She also showed that she was willing to go the extra mile to make sure they got everything they needed if necessary. We really appreciated her help and would hire her again for future help!”
“Super last minute back out from my neighbor and Laura was awesome! My girl looked so happy in all of the pics, got walked and taken to the park. Got back to me fast and was super communicative about everything. Definitely plan on having her come check in on my girl for the next work trip away”
About: I’ve had a multiple dogs and cats in my life since I was 1 years old. Many of those animals have been mine and I have taken care of them like I would want to be taken care of, with love. I’ve pet sat for many of my friends, family and neighbors. I’ve walked, bathed and just checked in on there pets. I have school everyday for an hour and I’m free any other time! I will have plenty of time to watch and play with the your pet. I’m free all day weekends. I can care for your pet at your own home by playing outside, either in a backyard or a park, and cuddling in the house if that what the pet would rather.

I’m a returning customer! Elizabeth is amazing. So quick to reply she even accepted my last minute booking within an hour. I really appreciate the care she gives my cats (even when they’re a bit difficult sometimes). I feel really comfortable letting her do her job and don’t feel the need to supervise at all. I will re-book with her 100% ♥️
We couldn’t have asked for better pet sitters! While we were on vacation, they took amazing care of our two dogs and cat, sending us lots of pictures every visit and keeping us updated daily so we always knew how everyone was doing. They went above and beyond, even vacuuming up pet messes and making sure our home stayed tidy. Knowing our pets were in such loving, capable hands gave us complete peace of mind the whole time we were away. We can’t thank them enough and would trust them anytime to watch our pets. Highly recommend!

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 Riverdale. On Rover:
- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
