“Elizabeth was so great to work with. My parents have a dog that's a bit older and requires some added patience. Elizabeth was extremely patient and very responsive. We will certainly be rebooking her.”
“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!!”
“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!”
“Kat has been a rockstar with watching our cat. She is attentive and takes the best photos when sending us our Rover check ins. You can tell he loves when she comes over just from the photos! We look forward to using her services again in the future.”
“Crowe & Taylor were excellent! They took time to meet my pet before their initial booking, as well as went out of their way to check on him when it wasn’t expected. I could not have found better pet sitters for my baby! Highly recommend to anyone- great people!”
“I can tell Taysha has such a big heart for animals and truly cares about the well being and comfort of my pets. I felt like I could trust her 100% while I was away, which made my own trip worry-free knowing she was watching over them. Thank you Taysha!”
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!”

“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!

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Riverdale on Rover is $21.4 per visit (as of July 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.
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
- 99% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
