“Stefanie is an all-star! My fur baby is extra ornery and finicky. Stefanie managed it all. She is a fantastic communicator and kept me in the loop about her every time she stopped in. You are in good hands with Stefanie!”
“Cassidy was amazing at taking care of our two cats while we were away. She came every day to play with them, change their food and clean their litter, and she also took care of our plants. She sent very detailed summaries from her visits and she had great communication. She was very respectful of our property. It was a pleasure working with her and will definitely do it again in the future. I strongly recommend her.”
“Annabel is an excellent sitter; she hit it off with our cats right away, and took great care of them while we were away for 3 nights. We would have her take care of our cats again!”
About: I’ve taken care of animals for as long as I can remember since my family members and I have always had pets (my family in Colombia also has a farm so I’m used to being around all types of animals all the time)! I have experience taking care of dogs, cats, rodents, birds, reptiles, horses, etc...I’ve also worked at pet hotels in the past so I am very familiar with following instructions for both feeding and medication administration. I am also very familiar with pet supplies since I’ve worked at pet stores in the past as well! I am a very active person so if your pet enjoys running around, going on hikes, or anything of that nature, they’ll have lots of fun with me! I also DO allow fur friends on my bed and couch for cuddles and naps :) Walks: Saturday - Tuesday: 5:30 am - Any time Wednesday - Friday: 5:30am - 8am, 3:30pm - Any time Pet Sitting: Please message me so that we can further discuss options keeping in mind that I work in an office 9:00 am - 2:00pm Wednesday - Friday, however there is usually someone always home. Boarding: Message me so that we can further discuss options keeping in mind that I work in an office 9:00 am - 2:00pm Wednesday - Friday, however there is usually someone always home. I have two locations in Stamford where me and my team (my family) pet sit. The first location is right next to a dog park and near Cove Beach if that’s something your pet enjoys! I also currently own a cat, his name is Binx, however, if your pet is boarding with us, Binx will go stay with his aunt who he loves very much (and gets lots of treats from). The second location is conveniently located in downtown Stamford where your pups could go for walks and get puppuccinos and where your kitties can happily watch from the windows. If you have a feathered friend, they're free to roam within the apartment safely and if you have a friend with scales they can also roam freely and safely if you'd like.
“Leigh saved the day for us when we needed someone to drop in on extremely short notice to check on one of our cats. Not only did she give us complete peace of mind, but she also went above and beyond by cleaning up some unexpected furball messes around the house. We are so grateful for her prompt help, reliability, and genuine care for our felines. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a thoughtful and dependable sitter!”
About: I’ve cared for animals my whole life and have extensive experience with both cats and dogs. I grew up with cats, worked at a dog kennel caring for dogs of all sizes and temperaments, and have experience caring for sick and bottle-fed kittens. I’m patient, attentive, and committed to making pets feel safe and comfortable while you’re away! I'm currently a student, so much of my time is spent at home studying- meaning your pets will not be left alone! I’m organized, reliable, and able to adjust my schedule to meet each pet’s individual needs and routine While I have cats of my own, they will be kept separate from any of our feline guests. I prioritize a clean, safe and comfortable environment for every pet. I carefully follow owners’ instructions regarding feeding, medications, routines, and any other special needs. Whether in my home or a client’s home, I aim to keep pets comfortable and stress-free while their owners are away.
“Shawn is awesome. He came for a meet and greet and our two cats were comfortable with him right away. Our boys have a special diet & one needs insulin and Shawn handled all of it with no issues - he even made his visits earlier than requested to keep the boys on their schedule. He’s very communicative and gives detailed notes on the visits - and lots of pictures. It was all very reassuring and our boys were happy and relaxed upon our return. Will continue to use Shawn as long as he’s available. Highly recommended! Thanks, Shawn!”
About: Animals are my passion. I’m a vet tech and currently working on my Veterinary Technology degree and certification. I also work at a doggie day care and boarding facility. I have a doggo named Cider, and 4 cats. I have lots of experience with other animals as well. I’m open to any routine you have for your animal. I will try my best to accommodate what is necessary to care for your pet. With a Veterinary Care knowledge I can take care of advanced needs My doggo gets lots of love cuddles and longs walk every day. He is off leash trained and loves his hikes adventures. I’m open to any schedule you have for your pet.
About: I understand the unique needs of dogs at every life stage, from teaching essential commands and proper behavior to puppies, to providing gentle, patient care for older dogs with mobility or health challenges. I am free almost every day and would love to walk more everyday by helping walk pets as much as I can. I al able to walk pets for as long as it’s needed. I ensure they follow their routine, including feeding, walks, and any medications, while providing plenty of attention and affection. My goal is to provide stress-free, loving care tailored to each pet’s needs.
“Alyssa was really responsive and caring with our cat, Medi. I appreciated her detailed notes and updates. Looking forward to Alyssa watching Medi again soon!”
“Kelly did a great job taking care of our two cats! Followed instructions and easy to communicate with. Booked her last minute and it worked out great. Will definitely be using her in the future to take care of our girl :)”
About: I have been watching others dogs by walking, stopping in or house sitting for 10+ years. I am comfortable with all breeds and working with multiple animals at once if you have multiple pets. I enjoy going on long walks and playing games with high energy, as well as being able to accompany those who just enjoy a good brush. Whether you need me to walk or to assist when you are away, you can trust me with your pet care. I work from home and in downtown Stamford so I am able to take breaks during the day to walk, feed or entertain the animal in another way. Also allows me to stay with the animal during working hours if needed. I live in an apartment building that is pet friendly. If it is needed to host your pet, they would be able to stay as long as they are comfortable in a high rise/downtown area.
About: I’m an animal lover ! I have enjoyed taking care of my families pets which have included cats and dogs and treat them like my own. I’m currently mostly available in the weekends! But I can definitely work out dates with my job as it’s flexible! I’m currently available Saturdays-Mondays mostly I have 2 cats which are now 2 years old ! All my cats are well behave and are playful with other animals. Most likely will babysit on customer home
“This was our second time working with Sarah and we are so pleased with the care and attention she took with our cat, including giving her medication. We feel safe leaving our cat in Sarah’s care and we look forward using her services again!”
About: I've had three dogs in my life. One turned 17 this year. She's a happy old lady but does require some medications that I have learned to administer and I make sure they are given on time and properly. I enjoy taking my pups on long walks on nice days. Aside from my personal dogs I have spent time house and dog sitting for two other people with various different dog types with different personalities. For one of these people, she is also a dog sitter and I assisted her in one emergency situation where she needed needed me to stay the weekend and care for the five dogs in her care plus her two minor children. I work full time with set hours Monday - Friday. I'm free weekends. Early morning walks are easily done but afternoon walks are after 4. Depending on location, how close a location is to my job, I do have a 30min lunch where I can run out and give a quick walk. For my personal dog I tend to do a good long walk in the morning and another good long walk after 4 to make up for the long day. I've never worried about bathroom accidents with her. I love dogs. That's just a fact. I protect them anyway I can. I have gone out to look for neighborhood lost dogs, I have seen paw prints, but no shoe prints, in the snow during a snow storm and I went out searching for what I was sure was a lost escaped dog. Before leaving my house, I do a scan to make sure there's nothing dangerous out that my dog could access, hanging cords, small items, loose treats, etc... to make sure she's always safe.
About: I provide calm, attentive pet care for dogs and cats who are happiest with plenty of individual attention and a familiar routine. I grew up around animals and have cared for pets for family and clients on both sides of the Atlantic. I know how important it is to feel completely comfortable with the person looking after your pet and, for house sitting, your home. For boarding and daycare, I offer a quiet home environment in White Plains with a large fenced yard and no pets of my own. I keep bookings intentionally limited, which means your dog is not entering a busy home full of unfamiliar animals. I especially enjoy caring for dogs who are very attached to their people, a little anxious in new environments, older, or simply happiest with more personal attention. I work from home and genuinely enjoy having a dog as part of my day. Depending on their personality and routine, that might mean long walks, time in the yard, play, lounging around the house, or simply having someone nearby. I follow each pet’s normal feeding, exercise, medication, and sleep routines as closely as possible because I believe good pet care should feel familiar to them, not like their entire life has suddenly changed because their people went away. I also offer in home pet and house sitting for animals who are most comfortable staying in their own space. I treat every home with respect and keep pets on the routines they know, whether that means a 7 AM walk, medication at a specific time, or a cat who has very strong opinions about where dinner should be served. My background is in hospitality and event management, so reliability, organization, and communication are second nature to me. You can expect regular photos and updates, clear communication, and someone who takes the responsibility of caring for your pet seriously. Most importantly, I genuinely enjoy getting to know each animal as an individual. Some want adventures. Some want the yard. Some want to spend the entire afternoon attached to your hip. I’m very happy to accommodate all three. 🐾 I work from home with a flexible schedule, so pet care fits naturally into my day rather than being squeezed in around a traditional office job. I keep my bookings intentionally limited so I can give each pet plenty of individual attention and build my day around their normal routine. Depending on the pet, that might include morning and evening walks, midday yard time, play, meals, medication, or simply plenty of company throughout the day. I’m home for much of the day and can accommodate dogs who enjoy being close to their person, while still following whatever routine they are accustomed to at home. My goal is to make their time with me feel relaxed, predictable, and genuinely enjoyable. Whether I’m caring for a pet in my home or theirs, I take the responsibility seriously. I follow feeding schedules, medications, exercise routines, and any household instructions carefully, while also paying attention to the individual animal in front of me. At my home in White Plains, dogs have a calm environment, a large fenced yard, and no resident pets to navigate. I keep bookings intentionally limited and make sure gates and doors are secure before any outdoor time. I also follow each owner’s instructions around walks, sleeping arrangements, feeding, crating, and how long their pet can comfortably be left alone. For house sitting, I treat your home with the same respect I would want someone to show mine. I keep things tidy, maintain your pet’s familiar routine, and send regular photos and updates so you can actually enjoy your time away without wondering what is happening back home. Before a first booking, I like to learn about each pet’s routine, personality, health needs, triggers, and emergency contacts so I can provide care that feels both safe and personal.
“Susan is wonderful! She was so kind and patient with our sweet but anxious 14-year-old cat that we felt comfortable going away. Susan was such a pleasure to deal with, and she was very responsive and dependable. She kept us in the loop after each drop-in, giving us all the details about her visit. We can’t thank Susan enough and would definitely ask her to cat sit again without any hesitation!”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Riverside
Margaret was so attentive and wonderful with our two cats! She truly went above and beyond, providing feedback and making adjustments to ensure everything went smoothly while we were away. Our cats were very comfortable with her and definitely enjoyed her calming presence. I HIGHLY recommend her!
Maria Helena was amazing! Our cats warmed up quickly to her and she sent us so many amazing photos of our cats while we were away. I’m an anxious parent when away from my cats but this was the least anxious I’ve felt in a while. Really happy to have found such a great person to watch our girls
Nina is absolutely fantastic! Her communication was excellent, and she provided detailed daily updates with pictures. My cat needs special care, and Nina was extremely responsible and paid close attention to detail of the care routine. She went above and beyond my expectations. I highly recommend her and will definitely be booking with her again!
Kamila was truly the best cat sitter I could’ve asked for. She sent me lots of pictures and details from each visit and went the extra mile to do things to make my cat more comfortable while I was away. I had some plans change unexpectedly and Kamila was extremely accommodating and was able to adjust her schedule to help me out. She was super flexible and kind and I felt much better about leaving my cat knowing she was in such good hands! Would absolutely recommend
Daniela took good care of the cats. Setting up are communications are smooth and easy. Ad hoc requests on unexpected incidents were well taken care of. The house is clean after the sessions. Overall it was a great experience. Will request their help again in the future.

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Riverside is $28 per visit as of November 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.

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.

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 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.
