“We had a wonderful experience with Katie! She visited our cat Simbita twice a day and made sure he received his pill—even when he didn’t take it the usual way with Churu, she found a creative workaround and made sure he got it without any issues. It was such a relief knowing she was taking excellent care of him while we were away. Highly recommend!”
About: I’ve been taking care of all sorts of different pets ever since I was 5 years old from chickens to fish, cats, dogs, you name it! I used to cat sit and dog walk at my last home base in Hanscom AFB, MA. I am comfortable boarding up to 3 pets at a time whenever for however long considering they all get along! Ideally, I can do day care at my house or drop-ins (walks!) at yours between 8am-12pm M-F. I live in a one-floor ADA house so it is both special-needs and senior-friendly with an enclosed deck + pool that connects to a securely fenced backyard and plenty of space with real grass for your companion to roam free in! I am more than happy to offer supervised pool time; it’s such a great exercise for both myself and pets! I usually try to get the majority of pets outside in a day I love taking walks and I am happy to take them out as any times needed so please bring them with a collar & a leash, if possible!
“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!”
“This is the 2nd time Monika has taken care of Belle of Jasmine. She’s super reliable, communicative, and has even helped me with my last minute travel. I will be using her from now on to help with my fur babies!”
“I can’t thank Kate enough for the exceptional care she provided for my cats while I was away! She went above and beyond, not only taking care of their basic needs but also showering them with love and attention. It was clear that she truly cares about animals, and I felt completely at ease knowing my cats were in such capable and compassionate hands. Highly recommend Kate for anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving pet sitter!”
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!
“Whitney was absolutely amazing! She went above and beyond for the care of our fur babies. She gave us updates very often and was very good at communicating what was going on. She sent us some really great photos of them too. I felt relieved while we were out of town to have Whitney care for them. She genuinely cared for them too. I would recommend Whitney 10/10!”
About: Hi, Im a Hillsborough County local and life long animal lover-dogs, cats and everything in between, big or small! Im a mom of two grown kids, which means my nest is empty and my schedule is wide open. No rigid 9-5 , no little ones to rush home to- just me, ready to give your pet the same love and attention I'd give my own. I've done many long house sits, moving right into your home to keep your pets routine steady while your're away, as well as wuick drop-in play dates for pets who just need a midday check-in, potty break, or cuddle session. Whether its a week-long trip or a same-day request, im almost always available and happy to work around your schedule. I treat every home and pet with care and respect-your pet gets consistency, company, and someone who genuinely enjoys being there. Reach out and lets set up a meet and greet! As an empty nester with a remote work schedule, i have flexibility most people don’t — extra time and a quiet house that make it easy to build pet sitting into my day without disrupting my job. Visits fit naturally around my existing routine, whether that’s a mid-morning break for snuggles between calls or an early evening walk. And since I’m home most hours anyway, pet sitting doesn’t feel like an added task — it becomes a welcome source of companionship and structure in a day that might otherwise feel a little too quiet. You can trust that your home and pets are in steady, capable hands — every visit happens on schedule, every task on your list gets done, and nothing falls through the cracks. Years of caring for animals of all kinds have taught me to read their individual needs, spot anything out of the ordinary, and act quickly if something seems off. I treat your home with the same respect and care I’d want for my own — doors locked, mail collected, and everything left exactly as I found it, so you can travel with real peace of mind.
“Kyle was awesome for us. She did numerous drop in visits over Christmas break. Was at the house when she said every time and stayed the full 30 minutes. She made sure they were outside playing the entire time too. We asked her while we were gone if she could make a few more visits than we had originally planned and she was more than willing to accommodate our needs. We were very greatful for her help and will definitely use her again in the future if she is available. The dogs loved her from the second she walked in. Couldn't be more pleased!”
“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.”
“Nakisha was amazing with my baby and so understanding! There was a mishap with my house key and she was beyond understanding and accommodating! I cannot thank her enough for her kindness! I’ll be booking with her from now on she’s absolutely wonderful :)”
“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!”
“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!”
“Sabree did a great job the dogs were well taken care of. Plenty of picture we taking so I always knew my pups were okay definitely would recommend to anyone who wants to make sure their dogs are well looked after.”

Thank you so much to Stacey for taking such wonderful care of Fifi. Fifi is a shy tuxedo girl, and I really appreciated how gently and attentively Stacey looked after her while I was away. Stacey's thoughtful messages on Fifi's behalf were a lovely touch. I highly recommend Stacey as a cat sitter and will definitely use her services again.
Sherri has been absolutely amazing with my kitties! I asked her to see them last second and she quickly responded. She sends great pictures and plays with my kitties with the toys she brings, and they love it! I always feel at ease when she visits my kitties while I'm out of town. I highly recommend Sherri!!!
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 July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

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:

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.
