“Mariya was a real life saver and did an amazing job looking after my cat over a holiday weekend!! I had left some pretty specific instructions and she was very nice and communicative if she had any questions or concerns. It was a huge relief to have her checking in on him.”
“An unfortunate passing, Elizabeth was available with VERY short notice and took on the challenge of 11 felines! A couple of our fur babies took to loving Lizzy, and was saddened when she was finished. A VERY understanding pet care professional. Thank you Lizzy!”

About: I've taken care of dogs my entire life and am really good with them. Friends and family rely on me often to watch and house sit their animals when they're away. I've lived with dogs my whole life and I love taking care of them. I have two dogs of my own and I love them deeply. I love to take them on walks when it's nice, and I taught my big dog a couple small tricks. I'm currently in college full time so my schedule will change every semester. Currently I have one class that is fully online. I'm available for house sitting the whole week aside from every other Sunday and pretty much any time for check ins and walks. I want to make your animals feel comfortable around me. At my client's home, I will take them for walks, play with them, and care for them accordingly.
“She came to feed the animals so she can get used to feeding them the week we are gone. I had typed her out how to feed them and she did very good, and since it’s the same with them she will get very used to feeding them. Feel relaxed knowing my babies will be taken care of.”
“Claire was amazing! I wish I could give her 100 stars! We went out of the country on vacation and it was very hard knowing I was so far away but Claire took such great care of my sweet kitty, Ivy. She really eased my concerns. I enjoyed getting updates after each visit and loved the pictures. Claire really connected with Ivy so I felt very comfortable that Ivy was being cared for the way I would. I highly recommend Claire to watch your cat and I will using her again the next time I’m out of town.”
“Ann, you are the kitty whisperer! Ann has cared for multiple generations of kitties in my household and she is attentive, thoughtful, and detail-oriented. I am grateful to have someone I can trust to care for my kitties while I travel.”

“Kaylyn was so helpful! My shy kitty loved her! And she was taken good care of! When I got home, she was clean and happy. This is the first time I travel for over a week, and I was so nervous about it. I was so lucky to find Kaylyn. She made it so much easier!”
“I would use Ben again in a heartbeat. Responsible, good to my cat, goes the extra mile. From the video he sent me, it was obvious that my cat was comfortable around him.”
“Sarah provided great updates. My cats are usually pretty shy and skittish with new people, but she had them coming out to investigate and play by the second day. Absolutely will come back to Sarah if I need a sitter again.”
About: I was raised on a farm and cared for all sorts of animals, and now i’m a vet teach assistant as well ! I’m a dedicated pet owner myself and do very well with animals of all ages and breeds 🐾💕 I currently work part time at a vet clinic 7a-5p T-F and would love to help care for your fur baby when i’m not in the clinic ! Your fur babies comfort is #1. Whether it’s playing, cuddles, a favorite show or blanket. If a baby needs their own safe environment and a crate is not already available I have options for the client to choose from as well as blankets, sometimes a safe space with an open door makes meeting new people far less scary!
About: I am currently a graduate student at OSU, which I am mainly free on days I do not have class which are Weekends,Tuesday, and Friday. As a cat owner whose cats love to eat and play with anything they can find, I understand the importance of keeping their environment clean and safe. I will make sure the space is free of potential hazards to help prevent any injuries or accidents. I also value good cat hygiene and will make sure litter boxes are cleaned regularly and as needed
“Abigail was so sweet! From her very first message I knew we'd found a conscientious and caring sitter for our cat. I really appreciated her thorough write-up of her visit with Cricket and the cute pictures. We highly recommended her!”
About: I've been taking care of animals ever since I was young. I currently am a supervisor at a vet clinic in Columbus and am looking to make some extra money on the side. I have been working in the vet field for 3+ years and currently a undergrad student with a dream to go to vet school. I am a big animal lover and have a big personality! I would love to love your babies as my own. I am currently a clinical supervisor at a vet clinic in Columbus. I handle cats and dogs from all ages all day long. I am looking for a side job to help my community as well as spread my love for animals. I work 9-5pm on the weekdays but are completely free on the weekends. I have two dogs of my own that have lots of energy. I know how to tire my babies out. Some days they decide to be couch-potatoes and I can relate! I have experience with all types of activity levels and social levels. This also related to cats as well!! Every animal is different and I believe their care is too! I'm willing to accommodate and make your babies happy anyway I can.
“Gwen did a wonderful job cat-sitting Lola. She left messages about each visit and noted anything of concern. She always sent a few photos after each visit as well. It made us feel better about being away, knowing Lola was ok. Gwen was a great sitter we would gladly rebook again!”

Kati was great to work with! She was able to watch my cats on a pretty late-notice request, and she was responsive, caring with the kitties, and thoughtful and thorough. Also her Rover updates were hilarious! I could tell the cats were in good hands and I would absolutely have her watch them again.

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Riverlea is $22 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $35 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.
