“Brandon and Mary C. were absolutely wonderful with Millie! They dropped-in Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday and went above and beyond every single visit. They made sure she got outside, spent time playing with her, practiced tricks with her, and even took lots of pictures so we could see how she was doing. It was clear that they genuinely cared about her and wanted her to have a fun, happy visit each time. We came home knowing Millie was well taken care of, and that gave us such peace of mind. We would absolutely recommend Brandon and Mary C. and will definitely be booking them again! 🐾❤️”

“Heidi was amazing with King!! She was very attentive, always on time, and was great with communicating and sending pictures of King. We will definitely be looking to use Heidi again!”
About: I will care about your pets like they are my own. They deserve the best care and best time during their lives. I can give medication to pets if needed as I have a senior cat of my own. I'm currently working full time 4 days a week, but would like to branch out and work with animals again part time. I am available friday-sunday. I will make sure they have fresh water & clean bowls, feed them when needed, make sure they are safe and clean. If they have accidents I will make sure to clean them up. I will walk dogs and check in with them, clean up after them, and give them water/ treats/ food when requested. I will make sure cats litter is clean and fresh, they have access to clean water, and feed them/ play with them during drop ins.
“Having never used a pet sitter for our 3 cats we didn’t know what to expect. After chatting with Stephanie, our minds were set at ease. She did wonderfully with our 3, one of whom needs daily medication. She sent daily updates and pictures. If we need a pet sitter again she would definitely be our first choice!”
“Cassie was the absolute best! She was so attentive and responsive, and gave great care to our two cats! She also sent great updates and pictures, would highly recommend her to pet sit!”
“Dakota did several drop in visits for my two dogs and they love her so much! She’s the absolute best. I will definitely book her again. It was nice to go away and not feel stressed about leaving my dogs at a kennel.”
“Kaylee was superb 🥰 very nice Loved our dog 🐕 and which meant a lot she made sure he was well taken care of and made it a point to bound with him. Would highly recommend Kaylee and hope she will be available again. She always posted pictures and was always on time even on a bad weather day she was there 🤗💜”
“Damien took excellent care of my kitties while I was away. He was thorough, followed all of my care instructions, and sent detailed updates with plenty of photos, which gave me real peace of mind. He was respectful of my home, professional, and a pleasure to work with. My senior kitty absolutely loved him, and he took wonderful care of her as well. I wouldn't hesitate to book with him again.”
“Jordan was wonderful. She kept me informed at every visit and was even kind enough to bring in a package without being asked. She is trustworthy and loves cats. Our cat looked very happy upon our return.”
“We have a German Sheppard, and we are precautions with new people meeting her but Elizabeth did amazing! Our dog immediately liked Elizabeth and started playing with her. Elizabeth also eased our mind by having experience with dominant breeds.”
“I am so glad, I chose Cynthia, she provided me with daily pics and updates on my three kitties. So I knew how their day was going. But most off all, we needed her for an unexpected additional drop in and without hesitation she said yes ❤️. This was a life safer.”
About: I’m a country girl that loves animals! Ever since I was a child I enjoyed helping and caring for pets. I volunteered at a local animal shelter where I learned how to properly care for a variety of cats and dogs of all sizes I have a kitten and a 1 year old dog and hamster so you can imagine how exciting the house gets throughout the day. I’m always learning and growing with these guys and always learning new routines In my home I give each animal their separate attention. I make sure they have the proper food and exercise so that they can live a happy and healthy life
About: I'm located off interstate 95 making me an easy stop to drop off and pick up your pet. I currently do not have any pets of my own. I've volunteered at a number humane societies and for the general public. I have boarded a number of different spieces of furbabies and house sat for mostly friends and family for 11 years now. I have experience in wildlife rehabilitation through a course and volunteer work. If you have small animals that need baby sitting my home is open to them and I have experience with a variety of small animals. I fit every animals needs and put them into my regular routine. I believe in schedules it makes life easier for myself and the animal I'm caring for. I have a large chain link fenced yard that your pets will enjoy. I prefer to give animals enough activity so that it helps with their health.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Riverside
Eric took care of my two cats while I was away on vacation, and I could not have asked for a better experience. He was pleasant and easy to work with from start to finish. It was clear he took excellent care of them. When I got home, both cats were relaxed, happy, and clearly well looked after. That peace of mind means everything to me when traveling. His check-in cards always made my day, and he sent some fantastic photos that reassured me they were doing great. I really appreciated the thoughtful updates and attention to detail. I highly recommend Eric and absolutely plan to use his services again for future travel.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Riverside on Rover is $19.98 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

As of September 2026, there are 1,814 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:
- 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.
