“This was our first time booking with Nicole. She was available on short notice, not only to watch our cat, but also to come by for a meet and greet before the booking. We greatly appreciated her availability on short notice. She was very friendly and took great care of our cat. We plan to reach out to her in the future when needed!”
“This was our first time using Alexa and she was wonderful!! Our kitties really liked her and followed her around everywhere. I could tell by the many pictures that our cats were super comfortable with her and enjoyed play time. She also went her way to accommodate our picky eater cat 😻 We felt comfortable being away and will Definitely use her in the future!!”
“David took great care of my two cats with his drop-in visits. He even brought our trash cans in for us! David communicated with me about my pets and when he was going to be late. I would definitely book him again!”
“Davene did an excellent job looking after our two cats. She communicated well before, during, and after each visit. She made sure they finished their food and medicine and even stayed a little extra to keep them company which was a lovely touch. We'll look to Davene again to watch over them during our future travels!”
About: I have worked with pets for over 10 years. From dog walking to dog sitting I have followed routines and scheduled for a pet need. I work remotely at my home full time during the week and have a routine that is open for pet sitting and dog walking nearby. I ensure that I maintain cleanliness in my home and while in the home of others. I will ensure that there is a level of safety and priority with your pet.
About: I've been an animal lover my entire life and have experience caring for dogs and cats. My current crew includes Groot, my American Bully mix, Ralphie, my three-legged Pit Bull mix, and my two cats, Alleria and Vesemir. My career in special education has also shaped how I approach animal care. Understanding behavior, building trust, and finding what works for each individual are all part of my everyday life. Every pet has their own personality and needs, so I take the time to learn their routines, respect their boundaries, and make sure they're comfortable. Whether your pet is outgoing, shy, energetic, or needs a little extra patience, I'll care for them with the same love and attention I give my own! I work full time during the week, so I'm available for evening visits and walks, as well as weekends! I have more flexibility on Saturdays and Sundays and am happy to work with you to find a schedule that fits your pet's routine. I do my best to keep my availability up to date and communicate clearly about scheduling. Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities! When caring for pets in your home, I make sure to follow their usual routines, respect their boundaries, and keep their environment as familiar and stress free as possible. I take the time to learn about each pet's personality, behavior, and any special needs or concerns before our first visit. I'm mindful of body language and believe in building trust through patience and positive reinforcement rather than forcing interactions. I'll always follow your instructions for feeding, walks, medications, and household safety, and I'll keep you updated with photos and messages so you know how your pet is doing. I want you to feel just as comfortable leaving your pets in my care as they feel spending time with me!
“Chris was wonderful with my cat Fenrys - he sent great updates daily, and went about making friends at Fenrys’s pace. I felt so secure leaving him in Chris’s care!”

About: I really wish my husband and I could adopt a dog but our condo complex doesn’t allow them and it breaks my heart! Can I borrow yours for a couple hours?? I’ve always loved animals so taking care of them just seems so rewarding and fun for a part time job. I’ll get to hang out with dogs and cats regularly so it’s perfect for me! I always go the extra mile for my cats when it comes to their food because both of them have some dietary issues. Both are healthy and happy and have a great meal plan.

About: I have taken care of pets my whole life so I can take care of puppies to elderly dogs. Most dogs love me and want to come play and pet. I also have a 2.5yr old son who absolutely LOVES dogs. We are happy to take care of dogs with special needs or is on mediations. We had a cat that just recently passed away and she would have been 19yrs old this year.

I have a nice size home so your dog will have lots of free range all over the house. I live in a very pet friendly community so there are a ton of dogs around and a nice place to go walking the dog.
“Morgan was professional, dependable, and an excellent communicator. She showed my cats a lot of love and affection, and took excellent photos of them which helped me feel comfortable leaving my beloved kitties in her care. She kept the home tidy and cleaned up after the pets as well. She went above and beyond by bringing in packages and doing an extra personal favor to help out when requested. I would highly recommend her!”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Riverside
I couldn’t have asked for a better cat sitter! She was reliable, attentive, and genuinely caring with my cats. I received regular updates and photos, which gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. It was clear that she treated my cats with patience, love, and care as if they were her own. I came home to happy, well-cared-for cats and couldn’t be more grateful. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and compassionate to care for their pets!
Each week we are reminded of how lucky we are to have Olivia. You can tell how much she loves animals by how much fun she has with the photos she takes of our cat as well as how excited he gets to see Olivia. Her communication is on point, her service is on point, everything is on point
Miranda is awesome! She was able to fit me in for a last minute booking which I really appreciated. Over the four day booking, she earned the trust and affection of two cats. I am absolutely amazed because these cats are notoriously quite spicy 😂 She also administered daily medicine and sent many pics each day. You can trust Miranda to make your time away from your furry children stress free - highly recommend!

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Riverside is $16 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $21 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.

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 .
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 , 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 .

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.

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.
