“Second time utilizing Crystal’s services and she totally rocks. Definitely put my mind at ease that my cats were in good hands while I was traveling and greatly appreciated the daily updates and pictures!”
“Mackenzie is the BEST — our rabbits are professional mess makers and we came back from our weekend away to a spotless bunny room & two very happy healthy bunnies! Thank you Mackenzie!”
“I'm so grateful for Maryann's care for my cat during regular drop-in visits over the past couple of weeks! I was far away and Maryann's clear communication, quick responses, dependability, photo updates, and journal-style descriptions of her visits gave me such peace of mind ?. I knew from learning about her previous experience that Maryann is a wonderful caretaker, and that was exactly my own personal experience with her as a petsitter for my cat - wonderful! I am so grateful to have made this connection, and to have a caring new friend for my kitty for those times when I am not around to care for him myself. Thank you Maryann! ??”
“Bri has been a wonderful cat sitter for my boys and I’ve rebooked her a few times now and plan to continue to! I read all her little cards detailing the visit and it gives me such peace of mind while I’m traveling. Thanks Bri!”
“Anders was wonderful with our puppy! This was the first time we used Rover and we got in touch pretty last minute. They made time for a meet and greet that helped us feel comfortable, and in the week of drop-ins they were ontime every day and seemed to genuinely enjoy playing with Iris - playing catch, using our puzzle feeders, hooking up the splash pad, etc. Their attentiveness and communication made us feel much better about having someone else care for our pup in the middle of the day. Highly recommend!”
“My cats love Erin. The photos and videos she send clearly show she is caring and understanding of how my cats miss me when I am away. I know my fur children are in good hands with Erin. It makes traveling much easier.”
“Nicole is very professional and trustworthy and did an amazing job with both of my dogs. I love the pictures that she had sent as well and the follow ups every time she came to visit. Both Dogs and I will look forward to using Nicole again- they were very happy when we returned!”
“Working with Stephanie is always easy and seamless. This week she had to administer some medication for my cat and it went very well for my cat (a few scratches for Stephanie 😅) Thanks for all your hard work!”
About: I’ve been around animals my whole life: dogs, cats, bunnies, chickens, you name it! My smallest dog ever was a chihuahua and my largest is a cane corso. My home was also a foster home and we had many litters of puppies and kittens come through on their way to their forever families! I work full time so I am primarily available on weekends, but I do work from home once a week if you need a last minute walk or check in on a pet! I am happy to take your pet outside, feed them, play with them, go for a walk or to get some exercise! I am unable to take them in my home but happy to work with you to fit you and your pet’s needs.
“Caprice took care of my cat like her own, spent lot od time with him, played with him, and did anything she could to make our time apart more comfortable for him.”
“Heath was absolutely wonderful! They took such good care of my cat, checked in daily, and sent lots of photos to keep me updated. Very professional and flexible (despite frequent changes to my schedule), would highly recommend to anyone who needs a cat sitter. I will definitely be using them again the next time I go on vacation!”
“Carse was great with my two boys, even getting my shy guy out and rolling around on his back for belly rubs by the second visit. She was great and I’ll definitly re-book with her.”
“Diana did a great job with my puppy! I’m so thankful to have found her when I did to care for my puppy while I was on a work trip. Highly recommend booking if you’re looking for a sitter that’s responsive and communicative!”
“It was so nice to leave our pups with someone caring and punctual. Leaving our dogs and access to our home was home was a little intimidating, but Amanda put our worries to rest quickly, and our quirky pups loved her visits. Thank you for making our trip easier with no worries of what was going on at home. Highly recommend Amanda to anyone in need of pet watching while away from home.”
“Veru was amazing! She accommodated a last-minute time change for us and made sure the girls got to enjoy the nice weather. We really appreciated the flexibility and care. We’ll definitely be booking with her again!”
“Meira was wonderful with Deedles! Deedles doesn’t warm up to people very quickly, but within days she was flopping for scritches. Meira was great with sending detailed updates and pictures every visit. She was very responsive and left my place nice and clean. Thanks, Meira!”
“It is so, so great to have a sitter that is not afraid of my zoo! As the owner of two cats, ten geckos, and ten snakes, all with different personalities ranging from shy to outright grumpy, I am very comforted by Rich's confidence in caring for them. I am a total momma bear when it comes to ALL of my critters (even the bitey ones), and I don't even worry while I'm away on vacation.”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Riverside
Crystal watched our cats for a week and did a wonderful job taking care of them and communicating with us. We got detailed updates and photos every day, and when one of the feeders malfunctioned Crystal troubleshooted and made sure it was fixed before leaving. We also came home to a lovely card and a couple of new toys for our cats. I would book Crystal again and highly recommend!
Ashley was so kind to my cat while I was away. She was patient and loving with little feisty Inzo and she showered her with love and treats. Ashley followed house rules and left detailed notes of the visit and sent pictures. I would definitely recommend Ashley to take care of your fur babies! Thank you Ashley! :)
Nicole took excellent care of our cat Moe while we were away. She clearly understands his personality and needs, and they picked right up where they left off from her previous caretaking visit. We received daily updates with photos, which gave us peace of mind. Most importantly, Moe was happy and completely himself when we returned. I highly recommend Nicole - she did a fantastic job!
Marie was great! She took such good care of our kitties, even took the time to play with them. She’s really responsive, and kept us updated every day with news and photos. We felt so comfortable knowing our 3 cats were in capable and caring hands. I would recommend Marie without hesitation!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Riverside on Rover is $24.42 per visit (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 1,445 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.
