About: I have had three large breed dogs and loved them like human children! They have all passed away now. We are use to hair and poop so big dogs aren't a problem! I have experience walking, washing and brushing them, cleaning teeth, etc. We would be a fun home for your pet while your away! We have 2 fenced yards where your pets can play and enjoy being outside. We towel them off at the door if it is raining or snowing when they go out. Boarders pups must be good with children as we have kids in the house. We are excited to play with your pup while you are away! We prefer not to kennel them and since we work from home that isn't really a need to ever. We let house the fur babies just roam the house with us! They are very good foreman's keeping us on task! We will feed (owner provided) and play with them and let them out to play and potty. We have outdoor beds for them to lay on while they play outside when they want to. They will be family! We can take them for walks (included in the daycare fee, not charged extra).
“Liz always does a great job! Our pup recently had surgery and requires a few extra steps and they handled them all perfectly! Plus the pictures she sends are the best! Thanks Liz!”
“Jessica was wonderful!! She followed all of my directions and took such great care of my cat!! She sent so many pictures and communicated with me!! Thank you again, Jessica!!”
“Our first experience with Rover and it could not have gone any better! Aubrey was the perfect fit for us as our anxiety was a bit high with leaving our cat alone for an extended period of time. We were so comfortable with our experience with Aubrey that we are already planning another trip. THANK YOU!!”
“Matthew did a good job with my cattle dog and Aussie. They can be a bit much for some people but he worked with them well. I hired him for 3 visits a day for 4 days. He kept in good communication.”
About: I have watched the pets of neighbors/friends/family many a time, when I was younger I volunteered at the shelters, and as a tradesman I encountered animals when you wouldn't think. Now I'm going a different route in life I'm just trying to live in a more relaxed manner, just trying to make some money and make a few furry friends along the way. I do gig/freelance work to accommodate family needs. But I am pretty free and open most days. So book me and let's get to walkin! A 1/8 acre fenced back yard with shaded patio and two water bowls, and a doggy door everything a dog needs for a day.
“We loved having Megan care for our fur baby! We felt very confident leaving her in charge to provide essential care, as well as love and affection. We will definitely be booking with Megan again in the future.”
“Courtney and John took such good care of our cats! They were so kind and professional we felt great about having them look after the cats. We will definitely book with them again!”
“Jayda was great with both of my dogs, they loved having her stop by while I was gone. She was great with communication, sent lots of pictures, and even cleaned up after one of the dogs destroyed a toy.”
“Emma is so extremely helpful, and very thorough with taking care of our fur babies! 10/10 would recommend! Thank you Emma for being extra thoughtful and going above and beyond with your care!”
“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.”
“Booked again, and as always, Miko was well taken care of. I appreciate the updates and pictures while I’m away, great pictures btw, brings peace of mind. Thank you for going above and beyond and taking time to supervise Miko outside, which is his favorite. He loves going outside several times a day, and it meant a lot that they were so patient and attentive with him. Thank you again for always following instructions carefully and taking such thoughtful care of Miko. Very grateful!”
About: I have had animals all my life ranging from dogs and cats to lizards, bunnies, and snakes. I have also worked in the petcare industry professionally as well for 7 years doing grooming, training, and vet tech work. Im available for long term care or even short daily visits whichever your schedule requires. I live on a 1/3 acre property with a large back yard as well as private space in my house for pets that prefer to be alone. I can provide home visits/walks, or I can do at home boarding. I have a large backyard that is fully privacy fenced, as well as a private space in my house that we use just for animals
“Kerry was great with Simba and Mom! He was caring and conscientious about all aspects of their care. He kept me informed through photos and text messages after every visit.”
“Makaila did an excellent job taking care of my dog over a long holiday weekend. She was extremely flexible, responsive, and attentive. She even spent extra time during visits with my dog out of her own freewill and kindness so that my dog would fell less lonely over the long weekend. All while sending plenty of updates. I felt comfortable leaving knowing my dog would be well taken care of. Highly recommend!”
“Claudia did an amazing job with my GSD and GSP who is recovering from surgery. I booked her on fairly short notice and she was so kind and flexible and accommodating with our pups! Will definitely book again!”
About: I’m a mom and senior care professional, providing compassion, patience, and attention to detail in everything I do. Your pet with feel loved, secure, and well-cared for, just like family! Fur babies deserve the best! I work from home with my daughter, and my schedule is very flexible! I can take breaks at any time to fit your pet’s routine needs. If I commit to something, I stick to it! My daughter would tag along majority of the time as well. In my home, pets are treated like family. I provide a safe, comfortable space with plenty of room to play, relax, and explore. My two dogs are walked regularly, and many cuddle sessions take place! I am used to fitting pet care into my daily schedule, and figured I could provide help to others who need the same! When caring for your pets, I will maintain their routine as closely as possible.

Aubrey was an amazing sitter. I contacted her with a last minute request to take care of my cat for a week, and she responded immediately. This was the longest I'd been away from my clingy kitty, but Aubrey was so nice and accommodating that I rested easy knowing Meatball was in great hands. Loved getting funny updates with cute photos/videos each visit. I'll definitely book with her again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Riverdale on Rover is $21.4 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

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.
