“Emily was very easy to work with and flexible. Our dogs warmed up to her very fast, unexpectedly so for one of them which is particularly anxious with new people, and I would not hesitate to reahc out again if needed.”
“Ryan was thorough, capable of following my directions, and did the job with pride-- I felt incredibly safe with him working with my cats and their needs! He was able to work with changes in directions, had experience giving liquid medications by mouth, and was punctual and timely in his visits. My cats felt calm when he was around, and he had no problem playing with them with extra time he had. I would definitely recommend Ryan and hope he gets plenty of opportunities to continue petsitting in the future, thank you again!”
About: Anyone who knows me can tell you that my biggest goal in life is to pet every cat I can. Between my family and friends' cats to my own two kitties, Quentin & Baby, I've taken care of cats for around 13 years. I'm great at giving cats play and engagement or accommodating their solitary needs with respect and empathy. I also have experience dealing with a range of pet health issues and accidents. This includes fleas (baths and continued treatment), ear mites, skin allergies (dermatitis and other sensitivities), pancreatitis (administering at-home treatments post surgery), and providing end of life care (cancer, palliative care). I'm very used to administering medications, both orally and topically. Whether your cat is experiencing ongoing health issues or is just in need of a little extra love and company, I can assure you that they will be in great hands! I currently work a 7:30-4:30pm Monday through Friday, but I am available for assistance from 5:30-7:00am, 1:00-2:00pm, and any time after 5:00pm throughout the week. Weekends are typically fully open! I'm experienced with minimal at home grooming (furminator, nail trimming, paw washing). I'm able to clean out litter boxes and manage any vomiting or accidents made around the home. I'm also experienced with administering both topical and oral medications in the event that your pet is experiencing ongoing health issues or is recovering from an accident.

Birdie was amazing. Needed her for a last-minute booking for our 2 cats. Both of them warmed up to her immediately (which is RARE) and she made us feel very comfortable leaving them in her care. Communication and pictures were great the whole time. 10/10 will book again!
Khalia was an amazing cat sitter for our two kitties. She followed all instructions, fed them treats, gave them lots of snuggles, responded to messages promptly, and went above and beyond in many different ways. We would absolutely book her again and recommend her to anyone needing a sitter.

Amy was the best! I was looking for an experienced cat person to take care of our crew as two of four have health issues, and I’m so glad I found Amy. She reported on all the intricacies of each of their personalities, sent photos/videos, brought a laser pointer along to give them some entertainment and even tracked down our scaredy cat just to make sure he was okay. I’d definitely use Amy anytime I go out of town!
Haleigh came everyday at the exact time she said she would be there. She did a pre-visit to meet them and was easy to get in contact with while I was gone. She would send me pictures and updates. She also took in a few packages that had arrived at my house. I know my kitties loved her! I would recommend her.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Riverlea on Rover is $22.2 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 1,282 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Riverlea. 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Riverlea. On Rover:
- 95% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
