Highly recommend! 🐾”

About: I’ve been caring for pets for years and have experience with both dogs and cats. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, cleaning up after pets, and giving them lots of love and attention. I’ve also helped care for my family dog for 6 years and have experience caring for cats.

I’m happy to work around your schedule and provide your pets with plenty of attention, playtime, and care while you’re away. I want every pet to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while they’re with me. I have experience caring for both dogs and cats and will follow your pet’s routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, and any special instructions you provide. 🐾
About: I love all pets. I’ve taken care of over seven different dogs ranging from 8 weeks old to 15+. I’ve administered medication orally and topical long walks and assistance after medical procedures. I do not do boarding in my own home. 100% in the comfort of your own home please do not hesitate to reach out for any questions! I am very flexible for any pet care for any questions. Feel free to reach out. I’m available at all times of day and night to make sure our babies are okay I have a dog and cat we feed both twice a day the correct amount needed for them. Our dog goes on a daily walk. Other client care I do whatever the pet parent needs and wants to ensure the safety of their pet and whatever they are comfortable with.

About: I've had dogs all my life and since I'm self employed, I have time on my side and find caring for dogs to be very relaxing & rewarding for us both. I enjoy hiking with them or going to a dog park, with the owners permission of course, to let them run around. I also enjoy going to parks and when I see a senior citizen, let the dog say hello. Nothing better than seeing a smile on someones face after playing with a friendly dog. I love to take walks outside and I have a ton of patience when it comes to letting dogs do their business. I always put myself in a dogs mind thinking what I would want to do when outside in the beautiful air. Since I’m self-employed I have very flexible hours to work around a pet owners needs. My commitment to your pet will always come first while on schedule. I will always make sure your pet is properly leashed to protect them and other animals. My apartment complex has over 60% people with dogs so it’s a really pet friendly building and the surrounding area has fenced in areas to keep your dog safe.
“Sarah was an excellent sitter. Very reliable, friendly, and went above and beyond for our cats. I knew my pets were in good hands and highly recommend her for all of your pet sitting needs!”
“Aaron has been an amazing sitter for my pets. I have an older lab and he has worked with him on several behavior issues and I see such a dramatic change in my dog! I highly recommend Aaron not only for pet sitting but training as well.”
“Nicole is incredible! She takes her time with our shy dog to make her feel comfortable, and we feel so grateful for that. She also sends pictures without us even having to ask! 10/10 recommend!”
About: Dogs have been my world for 15 years. I've worked in daycares, training facilities, grooming, shelters, and now I focus on providing reliable walks and personalized care. I offer neighborhood walks during the week, and on weekends I also offer 90 to 120 minute off-leash adventure hikes for the weekend warrior dogs that love to explore and need to burn off some energy! Every visit includes photos, updates, gps and plenty of attention! Dogs are what i do! And because this is what I do professionally, I’m able to provide consistent scheduling and care, building relationships with your pup! Almost any given day you can find me working with dogs of all sizes and energy levels! I primarily provide care through structured outdoor hikes rather than in-home services. When working in a client’s home, I follow all instructions closely, keep doors and gates secure, and maintain a calm, controlled environment.

Stefanie was absolutely wonderful taking care of my cats! She was very patient, caring, and attentive with them. Every day she kept me updated on how they were doing and sent me pictures, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. My cats felt very comfortable and relaxed around her, and that means a lot to me because I really care about who I trust with them. I could tell that she treated them with genuine love and care. I’m very grateful to Stefanie and would definitely trust her to take care of my cats again. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone responsible, patient, and loving with their pets! ❤️🐾
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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Riverside on Rover is $27.75 per visit (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 8,399 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 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 Riverside. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% 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.
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.
