Eli was very sweet, caring & professional & I would highly recommend her.”

About: I have had about 3 dogs in my entire lifetime and I love them! I have helped take care of family and friends dogs and I would love to walk your dog as well! I have Mondays and Fridays mainly free for the summer. I also have Wednesday midday and small hour slots throughout Tuesday and Thursday! If you have a pup who needs a way to burn energy throughout the day, I'll be there for them! Specific times: Monday: Any time Tuesday: 11-12:30; 5:30-10 Wednesday: 11-12:30; 3-10 Thursday: 11-2:15; 7:30-10 Friday: Any time Saturday: 5-10 Sunday: Any time I have a small backyard with a tall wall that would prevent dogs from running out. I have a relatively large first floor living area with lots of space for a dog to run around. I am home for the most part and am willing to constantly watch and care for a dog.

“Aimee was amazing! Our kitty is very shy and has anxiety with new people, she warmed up to Aimee so quickly. Aimee was able to get our kitty out of her shell and make her feel safe. 10/10! I would recommend Aimee to anyone looking for someone to look after their fur babies.”

Angela was fantastic with our standard poodles Bentley and Coco. Bentley is by far the anxious one, but Angela was incredibly patient and won him over immediately. She dropped in twice a day, made sure they got plenty of playtime, and always sent photo updates that gave us peace of mind while we were away. She followed all care instructions perfectly. We highly recommend Angela and will absolutely book her again.
Paris is our favorite cat sitter. She's keeps us updated with the most amazing photos! She's soo quick to respond and we feel at ease knowing our cats are happy in her care 💕 She even made them the cutest little catnip toys on her previous visit and they are soo obsessed. 10/10 would recommend.
Zapporah came in twice a day to feed and play with my 2 cats for a little over 2 weeks while I was away in Europe, and I cannot be happier! She really put my nervous cats at ease (in fact, one of them hides from everyone, but he came out for her within a few days). She took very good care of my kitties, played with them, maintained the litter box and was very communicative. I felt a lot more comfortable being so far away for so long with them in her care and I will absolutely work with her again in the future.
Kathrine took great care of our kitties while we were gone for a 10 day trip. She visited them twice a day to do basic care but went above and beyond to keep them entertained and happy. She also combed them for fleas when a couple were discovered on them to keep them comfortable. Would definitely use her again and recommend her to any pet owner 😊

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Riverside 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 Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 6,366 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Riverside. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Riverside stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Riverside. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
