About: I’ve loved dogs since I was a small kid! If you have 3 pups or more, I just charge for 2! When I turned 17 I worked at a doggy daycare called rover retreat, where I fell in love with taking care of dogs! I went to school in Colorado, my native state, for a couple of years, where I dog sat off and on. I decided to pick my life up and move to the city of Stamford with my to be closer with my girlfriend's family. I love to teach pups tricks and enrich the lives of all animals! Even if your pup is difficult or different, I can work with it:) I am experienced with puppies, seniors, diabetics, pets with medication. I've taught dogs how to run with a bicycle and how to do new tricks like handshake and wait. If you choose me, you're guaranteed someone with lots of experience and a big heart for your furry friend(s). My schedule is currently completely open for your pups' care!! I was in school for a couple of years in boulder, met a wonderful girl, and moved with her out east to the city of Stamford. I doordash other than dog sitting so I can easily accommodate. I watch over the client’s pup and give it all the affection and attention it needs while also maintaining decency and care for the space and all beings and things within.

About: What sets me apart is the genuine care and attention I give every pet. I’m an animal lover who understands that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs. My goal is to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m reliable, patient, and committed to following your pet’s routine, whether that means walks, playtime, feeding, medication, or extra cuddles. I’m comfortable caring for dogs of all ages, from energetic puppies to senior dogs who need a little extra patience and care. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you always know your pet is happy and in good hands. I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family. I’m currently part time working! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because animals are a big part of my life. I make time each day for feeding, playtime, walks, attention, and making sure pets feel comfortable and cared for. Since I have two cats of my own, I understand the importance of keeping a consistent routine and providing companionship, even when owners are away. I’m able to incorporate pet care into my schedule by dedicating time for visits, walks, check-ins, and giving each pet the attention they need. I enjoy spending time with animals and love being able to provide reliable, loving care for pets and peace of mind for their owners. I care for pets by creating a safe, comfortable, and loving environment while respecting their normal routines. In a client’s home, I make sure to follow their instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medications, playtime, walks, and any special needs their pet may have. I understand that pets feel most comfortable when their routines stay consistent, so I do my best to make the experience as stress-free as possible. If caring for pets in my own home, I provide a clean, calm space where they can feel comfortable and receive plenty of attention, affection, and care. Whether at my home or a client’s, I treat every pet like they are my own and make sure they feel safe and loved.

About: I have several years of experience caring for both pets and children. While working as a nanny for multiple families, I was also responsible for their dogs, making sure they were well-fed, exercised, and happy. This gave me hands-on experience with daily walks, playtime, and maintaining routines. At home, I am a proud cat owner, so I also understand the unique needs of cats and how to provide them with the right care and attention. I am patient, responsible, and truly enjoy spending time with animals, whether it’s walking a dog, keeping a pet company, or making sure they feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. have a very flexible schedule. Sunday Mondays and Tuesdays I am super available. Most mornings before 10 am I’m free and I sometimes work from home. My schedule is adjustable, I can often adapt to different needs during the week. The care I provide always depends on each pet parent’s instructions, since every animal has unique needs and routines. I make sure pets feel safe and comfortable by giving them regular walks, fresh food and water, playtime, and lots of attention. Safety is always my first priority whether that means keeping doors secured, watching carefully on walks, or following special feeding instructions. I also keep the home environment tidy and respectful, so pet parents can feel fully at ease while they are away.

About: I bring a unique blend of professional canine experience and true passion. As a K9 coordinator, I’ve worked with puppies, adults, seniors, and dogs with different temperaments. I offer foundational training for puppies, behavioral understanding, and specialized senior support. I treat every dog like family while still maintaining structure, safety, and trust. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine because I work with dogs every day as part of my K9 coordinator role. I’m already on a consistent schedule of training, enrichment, feeding, and structured play, so adding petsitting visits fits smoothly into my day. I’m available mornings, afternoons, and evenings, on the weekends and I plan my schedule to make sure each pet gets reliable, unrushed attention. I provide a secure, structured, and loving environment for every pet. Safety is always first doors are secured, hazards are removed, and pets are never left unattended in unsafe situations. I follow routines closely, provide appropriate care for age or health needs, and keep owners informed with regular updates. Pets under my care feel safe, comfortable, and wellloved.

About: Hi! I'm Jenn, an animal lover based offering attentive, reliable care for your dogs and cats. As a cat owner myself, I understand the patience, routines, and little details that keep pets happy and comfortable. I've cared for dogs of all sizes: feeding, walking, playtime, and plenty of affection and I'm comfortable administering medications, so pets with special needs are always welcome. Whether your pup needs a midday walk, drop-in visits while you're away, or a cozy overnight stay in my apartment, I'll treat them with love and patience. You'll get timely updates, photos, and real peace of mind while you're away. I'm also fully bilingual in English and Spanish. ¡Hablo español, así que también atiendo con gusto a familias hispanohablantes! Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priority. I'd love to meet you and your furry family member! I have a full time job during weekdays. With 3 on site office days and 2 remote days. I'm available weekdays after 5pm and weekends. In my home (boarding): I keep a clean, calm, secure apartment with no other resident pets, so your dog or cat has a quiet space and my full attention. I keep doors and windows secured, never leave a pet unattended in unfamiliar surroundings, and follow the feeding, walking, and medication schedule you provide. Leashes always go on before we step outside. In your home (drop-in visits & walks): I follow your instructions exactly — feeding, fresh water, litter or potty breaks, playtime, and any medications. I respect your home, lock up carefully, and leave everything as I found it. On walks, I keep dogs leashed and stick to safe, familiar routes. For every service: I send photo and video updates so you always know your pet is happy and safe, I stay reachable throughout the booking, and I always do a free meet-and-greet first. If anything ever seems off with your pet's health or behavior, I'll contact you right away and follow your emergency plan.

About: Fair warning: Pets are a little spoiled in my house! 😊 I've cared for animals my entire life and have experience with pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I've cared for my own senior dog throughout her final years, large and small breed dogs, rescue kittens, and adult cats, including raising my own two cats since they were kittens. I've trained all of my own pets and understand the importance of consistency. If your pet has specific routines, commands, or training practices you'd like maintained, I'm happy to follow them closely so their progress and structure continue seamlessly while they're in my care. I have a genuine soft spot for animals, and every pet in my care receives the highest quality treatment. Whether your furry friend enjoys treats, walks, playtime, or cuddles, they'll receive plenty of love, attention, and personalized care and are sure to have a great time while you're away. The day is dedicated to taking care of the fur babies. I'm available 7 days for check-ins, walks, home visits, and boarding. Let's connect and set up a time! My home is a relaxed space for cats or dogs to roam freely. My community offers a fenced in dog park and in my unit I have plenty of vertical space for your cat to rule over, including 2 cat towers and plenty of enrichment toys. I also have a catio on my balcony for some fresh air. If needed, I will separate my cats from more reactive animals while in my care.

FAQs for Cat Sitting - Riverside

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Riverside is $28 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $21 and $42 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. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of October 2026, there are 8,498 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Riverside. 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 .

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.

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 .
