“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!!”
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.
“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.”
“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”
About: I’ve taken care of family pets since I was about 10 years old. I love animals and I will certainly make sure your pet is well cared for and in good hands. I have school Monday through Thursday. I will be available for boarding on the weekends at any time and on the weekdays when I am home from classes. I have a fenced yard at my house and zero pets. Which will ensure your pet gets the best love, care, and attention as possible.
“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!”
“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.”
“She is a wonderful pet sitter. It is our first time leaving our cats alone for a week and we were nervous cause one of ours is too shy and he became close with her and the notes and pictures made us feel so much better that are being taken care of. I will highly recommend her and i will definitely choose her next time i want a pet sitter. The dedication and care she has towards what she does and how she does her job far exceeds what our thoughts were. We can tell it’s not just a “job” for her, what she did for us helped put all of our fears and doubts at ease. Wonderful communication, pictures on her visits and feedback even as simple as keeping a light on for our cats. She went the distance and then some. Words don’t do her justice but we pray anyone reading this review will take it to heart, we are truly blessed to have had the pleasure of working with her.”
About: I have experience caring for dogs, cats, and other household pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I provide dependable, loving care that helps pets feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. My services include feeding, walking, playtime, administering medication if needed, cleaning up after pets, and following each pet’s individual routine. I treat every pet like they’re my own, making their health, happiness, and well-being my top priorities while giving owners peace of mind. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I enjoy staying active and spending time with animals. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide reliable walks, feedings, playtime, potty breaks, and plenty of attention throughout the day. I prioritize consistency and make sure every pet receives the care, affection, and routine they need to feel comfortable and happy while their owner is away. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities. I understand how important it is to trust someone with a beloved family member, and I take that responsibility seriously. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions, maintain your pet’s normal routine, and provide plenty of love, attention, and supervision. I communicate regularly with updates and photos, so you can feel confident knowing your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away.
“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!”
“We have had Amanda watch our dog three times and each time she has done a great job. She has been prompt and provided information and pictures with each of her visits. We have contacted her with late notice and she always makes it work. We are very appreciative of her hard work!”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs around since I was a very little girl, I’ve experienced having small dogs, Medium-sized, and Large Dogs. My Mom bred Maltese so I got to constantly play with many adorable puppies and help bathe them too. My husband, has had about 8 years of experience with animals. He helped me with raising 10 puppies, a litter from our own dog Tyndale. Our whole family absolutely loves dogs! We’d love to meet and play with your puppy too! I am currently working from home, taking care of my family and pets, so I have plenty of time to take care of and play with your puppy. I have a fenced yard and a friendly dog named Tyndale, she loves to play and would be happy to help keep your Doggie company.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Riverdale
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 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 1,204 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.
