“Absolutely thrilled with the care from Jayd and Ecko. From the moment I contacted them, they were professional and friendly. They took the time to understand our cat's unique personalities, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. We received regular updates and photos, which made me feel connected to my furry friend. They went above and beyond, ensuring the cats were not just fed and cared for but also played with and loved. When we returned, the cats were happy and relaxed, which is the best testament to their care. I highly recommend Jayd and Ecko to any pet owner looking for reliable and compassionate care for their cats. Thank you for taking such wonderful care of our fur babies!”
“She was wonderful with my four cats and handled an unexpected problem with the key without missing a beat. I’ve only lived here for four months, so it was especially reassuring to have someone so reliable and capable taking care of them. I’d definitely book her again.”
“We needed someone super last minute to stay with our cats overnight and she was honestly amazing. She responded really fast, was easy to communicate with, and took such good care of them. I loved getting the pictures and updates, it made being away way less stressful. Definitely would book with her again”
“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 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.
“She was a wonderful sitter to my cat Minmo! Made sure to send me plenty of pics each time she checked in on her which made traveling a lot easier. I will definitely consider her first if I need future care!”
“As expected Ariah did a fantastic job checking on the pups and getting them exercise. She was detailed in her updates and sent plenty of pictures, Ariah communicated incredibly well.”
About: As a pet owner, I understand the responsibility, patience, and love that goes into caring for an animal every day. From maintaining consistent feeding and exercise routines to recognizing changes in behavior or health, I’ve gained firsthand experience in providing attentive, compassionate care. Being a pet owner has taught me how important trust, routine, and genuine affection are in keeping pets happy and comfortable. I am currently a SAHM and can pop in and feed and walk your dog or cat anytime between 9-3 during the week. Available on nights and weekends. In my home, pets are cared for in a safe, calm, and loving environment. I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and rest, to help them feel comfortable and secure. I provide plenty of attention, affection, and supervision, while also respecting each pet’s individual needs and boundaries. Clean spaces, fresh water, and yearly vet appointments.
About: I’ve loved dogs for as long as I can remember! Last year, I even completed a service project focused on educating others about the importance of pet enrichment and proper care. I’ll treat your furry friend like my own and make sure they feel safe, loved, and cared for every step of the way! I am currently a student at Weber state studying elementary education so I have my student teaching from 8am-11am. I am often available outside of these times. Your pet is safe with me, pets will stay leashed at all times unless we are in a safely locked environment. I also will practice recall often.
“Kaylee is always so wonderful. Our picky little cats love her. She is very responsive and thoughtful. Super trustworthy. We will always ask her to come back and watch the kitties when we go out of town.”
“Emily did a great job of watching our old cat! She made sure he was fed, watered, cleaned his box, had social time, and kept us updated. After a long trip, we came home to a happy cat!!”
About: I am a dedicated animal lover with a natural ability to connect well with pets. I currently have a 2 pound chihuahua and have experience fostering, whom I thoroughly enjoyed caring for. I am able to care for dogs in the evening for walks when fur parents may not be available to do so. In addition to fostering, I also connect with cats. A friend's skittish cat feels comfortable enough to move about freely and relax in my presence, which reflects my calm and patient approach to animal care. I am currently looking for a part time gigs in the evenings Monday-Friday starting at 5:30pm. In the weekends I am only able to drop in and check on the fur friend and/or go on a walk with me. If there is a consistent fur friend that needs constant care, i would be opened to that. Before going to someone's home, I would ask what are is okay and not. What the fur friend needs to have a good time. Go on walks, on a small hike. Take to a dog park to socialize. Any specific details that I must know.
About: I’ve had dogs in my home my whole life and currently have cats of my own. I foster kittens through the shelter whenever I can, with most of my experience focused on neonatal and high-needs kittens. I also regularly walk shelter dogs and am comfortable caring for a variety of personalities. I’m patient, attentive, and treat every pet like family. I work Wednesday–Sunday from 3–11 PM, but I’m available for visits in the mornings and early afternoons, as well as Monday–Tuesday. Pets are part of my daily life. I feed my cats, foster kittens, and walk shelter dogs. I make sure every pet gets consistent care, love, and attention. I care for pets in their home, following your routines for food, meds, and play. I make sure pets feel safe and loved, and I provide updates so you can see they’re happy and comfortable.
“Caroline was a remarkable pet sitter for our two kitties. She went SO FAR abive and beyond - we could not have been happier with her. She's so kind and sweet and went to great lengths trying to make our boys comfortable and happy while we were gone. A+++++++”
About: I am a mother of 3. My kids grew up with mommy doing Rover! They are trained to not mess with animals. They love playing fetch with the dog's and cuddling! We have a fully fenced back yard and all our furniture is pet friendly! We want your pets to feel at home here. We allow dogs to sleep in our bed with us and on our couches. My kids are in daycare during the week but I work from home! So during the days it's just me with the dogs. They are typically never left alone. I send tons of pictures to all the dogs owners so you will always be updated! We like being your pets family while your away! So I work from home! I wake up at 6am and feed the dogs and let them out. Since I am home I let the dogs outside quite often! I usually feed the dogs around 5 then go pick up my kids from daycare. Then the whole family is home for family and doggy time! We have a fenced in back yard and zero doggy doors. We have a very safe home. We try to teach our kids not to feed the dogs any human food so we don't ruin the diet you have your dog on!
About: With my visits you can almost guarantee added services just as a bonus. I don't mind cleaning up, poop duty and liter boxes, I've even ran errands. A bit about me.... I've grown up caring for Cats & Kittens. I have helped deliver liters of kittens. My family has loved dogs too.. especially the big ones 😁 Our first family pup was a beautiful pure white Pitbul who was in need of a rescue home and shortly following was his Brother Dashy who was a Black Lab Pitbul mix. Best two dogs i have ever had the honor of meeting and owning, they both lived to be 14 & 15 and we just recently lost them in 2021 and 2024. We do love our minpin Sadie she's 7 this year and our protection aka Guard Dog!! 😁 and we now have ourselves a beautiful Siberian Husky with beautiful baby blue eyes. We suprised my dad with him @ 8 weeks old to bring up as a companion and some emotional support.. he's 10 months and still growing I just don't do 🐍 🐍 👎 😁 I love going on car rides, finding new dog parks and tossing around toys in the yard. I just got done working Hickory Farms so I don't have a job at the moment. My availability is quite open as I try and find my place in this job world. I clean, babysit, care for the elderly and pets. I currently don't have the ability to have pets at my home. However, special circumstances can be discussed. ☆☆《I'm very patient, tolerant and trustworthy. I don't believe in animal violence or cruelty.
About: I’ve owned dogs since I was little, and I’ve been taking care of dogs while the neighbors were away since I was 12. I love dogs and own 5 myself, I can administer medications and just play with your dog. I can’t wait to meet your furry friend! I currently have a small puppy so I already have a good routine of letting her out to play, go potty and such. I only work my day job about 7 hours a day in the early morning so I’ll be able to go in the early afternoon and let your pet out and play with them every day. The pets in my home have a spacious environment to be around the family while we are home. We always watch out for our dogs when they are out of the crate and the same for any of your pets that come over to hang out.

Emma was awesome at taking care of my cats while I was on a trip! We arranged a meet up beforehand and I could tell from the get go she loves this job, she irradiates so much love for pets, even my cats were so calm around her💜. She sent me lots of pictures of my babies too! When I got home, it was like I never left. My cats seemed happy and healthy. I would re-book in a heartbeat!
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!

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Riverdale is $21 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $18 and $22 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.

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 contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
