About: I have loved and cared for animals my entire life, with over 25 years of experience handling everything from dogs and cats to birds and small pets. As a Registered Nurse, I bring a unique level of medical knowledge, safety, and attentive care to every stay—whether administering medication, supporting senior pets, or maintaining strict daily routines. Having previously provided trusted pet sitting and dog walking services at Hanscom AFB, MA, my family and I are proud to offer a safe, loving, and attentive home environment where your pets are treated like family. Pet care is our full-time focus! To ensure every guest receives personalized care and plenty of individual attention, we keep our boarding group small—capping care at 4 compatible pets at a time. Boarding is available 7 days a week, with flexible drop-off and pick-up arrangements. Doggy daycare at our home and drop-in visits or walks in your neighborhood are available Monday through Friday between 8:00 AM and 12:00 PM. We offer a spacious, single-story, step-free home tailored for senior pets and dogs with mobility needs. Our setup features a fully enclosed deck and pool area opening into a securely fenced yard with natural grass. We provide structured, individual playtime, regular potty breaks every 0–2 hours, and optional supervised pool sessions to keep your dog comfortable, happy, and safe.
“Claudia has been absolutely amazing with my puppy, Milo! She goes above and beyond every single time she cares for him. She doesn’t just make sure his basic needs are met—she truly loves on him as if he were her own. Claudia pays close attention to every detail, follows all of my instructions, and always makes me feel at ease knowing Milo is in such caring hands. The best part is seeing how excited Milo gets every time he sees her. That alone tells me how much he trusts and loves her. Thank you, Claudia, for taking such wonderful care of my sweet boy. Your kindness, dedication, and genuine love for animals mean more than you know. I highly recommend you to anyone looking for a trustworthy, compassionate, and dependable dog sitter!”
“Appreciate Monica coming a couple of days earlier for a walk thru. Dogs took her easily. We have to iron out communication when departing but no worries/issues, all seemed to have gone great”
“I can't recommend Whitney enough! Finding someone who truly understands and cares for cats can be tough, especially when most pet sitters are more experienced with dogs, but Whitney was absolutely wonderful with my two cats. She took care of them for 8 days while I was away and made the whole experience completely stress-free. She sent regular updates and the cutest photos, which really put my mind at ease. It was clear they were comfortable, happy, and well looked after. Whitney is kind, reliable, and clearly loves animals. I’ll definitely be reaching out to her again the next time I travel!”
“Kyle is the sweetest!!!! Super communicative, easy to get ahold of and trustworthy!! she is the perfect person you want loving & taking care of your pup while away. I came home after a long weekend away to a very happy puppy!! You could tell he had a blast with Kyle.”
About: Over the past four years, I’ve cared for dozens of dogs and cats for friends and family—walking, feeding, playing, and giving them love while their people were away. What started as doing favors turned into something I genuinely enjoy and feel confident doing, so I thought… why not finally offer it professionally? While I’ve never had a pet of my own (yet!), I treat every animal I care for like they’re family. I take time to learn their routines, preferences, and personalities to make sure they feel safe and happy while you’re gone. I’m attentive, gentle, and great at reading an animal’s vibe—whether they want playtime, cuddles, or just someone calm nearby. I’d love to meet your furry companion and be someone you can count on. Let’s chat about how I can help! I currently work part-time most of my work days are during the weekend so throughout the week I am home all day pretty much every day! I am to make sure I learn the routines of each of my clients and ensure that the pets feel like they are at home!
“Stacey was wonderful and very reliable. She checked in on Monkey, made sure she had fresh food and water, sent photos, and even included an extra update when she noticed her sister nearby, which I appreciated. Her note written from Monkey’s point of view was so sweet and made me smile, for sure!!! She was on time, thoughtful, and easy to communicate with. I would definitely book with her again for Monkey, and the rest of my tribe!”
“Dana was absolutely fantastic with our two cats. Such peace of mind! She even managed to give one of them the asthma inhaler which I wasn’t sure our cat would accept from someone else than me. Highly recommend!”
“Sherri was amazing! She played with my two kitties every visit which I really appreciated. I asked her to help with a few things around the house that I forgot to do before I left and she was so willing to help and even offered to check my mail! She provided updates on how my kitties were doing and took great pictures too. I felt confident my kitties were being well taken care of while I was out of town for a few days. I'll definitely be reaching out to Sherri again to look after my kitties when I go out of town next time!”
“Both my cats loooove Christine and so do we!! It’s such a relief to have someone so compassionate taking care my senior cats :) Christine is able to give meds with no issues and is a great communicator. So glad we found her!”
About: I’ve taken care of a variety of animals in a veterinary class I attended for a couple years. I enjoy being there for their needs. I work part time so I have days where I can gladly be with them and even after work I’d love to be with them too. I would have the clients pet stay in areas where the owner wants and need for it to be. I’ll keep them in the right area. Play and care for them while cleaning anything they do.
“Emma came to take our dogs out while we were away for the day. She sent pics both times, one of which is my new favorite picture of Ollie. We will not hesitate to book Emma again.”
“Jess was amazing with our dogs and even did extra to play with our kitties. She included so many pictures of our babies it was nice to see them being so happy while we were out of town. Would definitely recommend using her to watch your fur babies.”
“Leroy was a big help, when we brought our puppy home. Skye really enjoyed seeing him for her potty break every day, while I was at work. I would highly recommend him to anyone! And if I need a pet sitter again, he would be my first choice.”
“Yvonne was perfect for my kitty. She spent time with her and I knew she was well taken care of! She communicated very well with me during her visit and I would highly recommend her to care for your pets too!”
About: I grew up around animals and have taken care of them as well. I help my friend with foster cats. I have experience with bottle feeding kittens and puppies. I'm currently currently unemployed so I'm currently available at any and all times. I can walk dogs, brush cats and dogs if needed.

I'm available on the weekends too and can do overnights if needed. I make it my top priority to make sure all pets are safe, feel trusted, and comfortable. I will do whatever means necessary to provide safety and comfort to your furbabies.
About: Hello there! My name is Jianna, and I've always treated every dog I've met as if it were my own! I grew up with lots of dogs and spent my free time volunteering at animal shelters and sanctuaries. I have a masters degree in primatology, my passion is taking care of animals.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Riverview
Morgan has been nothing but kind and understanding. I felt safe leaving my kitty with her. She went above and beyond to make sure my baby was safe while I was gone. Thank you Morgan!!! and thank you Rover for being a platform where pet parents can find a trustworthy person to care for our fuzzy babies💚
Sherri was such a wonderful sitter for our furry babies. She lovingly took care of their food, litter box, and water, and went the extra mile to spend quality time playing with them. The report pictures clearly showed them having fun and feeling comfortable around her. She has a natural warmth and gentle spirit that's perfect for kittens. We would definitely love to use her services again in the future!
Thank you very much for everything. The animals seem to be doing great and are very happy. Of course now they see their humans! We are traveling again next month from August 24 through the 28th. I’m sorry the 23rd through the 28th. Would you be available then?
Nakisha was so nice and easy to work with! I reached out to her last minute on a holiday weekend and she was able to take the booking and schedule a meet-and-greet all within a short time frame. While we were gone, she updated us every day with pictures and description of our cat’s attitude/well being. I felt completely at ease with her handling the care of our cat and will definitely be using her from here on out!! Hiring Nakisha is a blessing for your pet care
Katherine was excellent! She was able to work us in at the last minute when our previous cat sitter fell through shortly before a trip. She was extremely communicative, accommodating of specific requests, stayed the full 30 minutes, engaged with our cat the whole time, and gave very detailed reports. She also went above and beyond by bringing in several packages that arrived while we were gone. We will absolutely be using Katherine again in the future!
We couldn’t be happier with our pet sitter! They were reliable, communicative, and genuinely caring with our pet. We received regular updates and photos, which gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. Our pet was happy, well cared for, and clearly loved. We highly recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter.
Cinnamon was well cared for by Georgi. She came by and gave him plenty of love, treats, his insulin, fresh food, and water, cleaned out his litter box with pee pads and even had his outside time which he loves. I appreciate she communicated with me before, during, and after her visit which made me feel more comfortable with it being our first time using Rover for cat sitting. I highly recommend Georgi for pet sitting and will use her services again. Cinnamon approves this message.
Jackie is amazing - we have trusted her in the past and we will continue to trust her with our animals in the future! She was able to come care for my babies on very short notice with such a quick turnaround, thank you so much for helping us again Jackie! 🩷

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Riverview on Rover is $19.98 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 3,446 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Riverview. 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 Riverview. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
