“Leslie was great! We appreciated the meet/greet before we left on our vacation and it was very easy to communicate with her the entire time. We felt very reassured leaving our kitty in Leslie's capable hands!”
“Elissa is absolutely amazing. She did such a great job with our animals. She treated them like her own. Like her own family. She sent me constant pictures and updates about how my animals were doing and helped me feel a lot better about the process. I felt safe knowing that our animals were in good hands while we were away. I would highly recommend her and I will definitely be hiring her again! Thank you, Elissa!”
“This was a first time experience for my Wife and I and Mary did an excellent job! Amazing communication and awesome pictures. Couldn’t have asked for a better first experience, I will definitely be using Mary in the future!”
“Man am I grateful to have found Brittney! Reliable, knowledgeable and responsive! It is so comforting to know I can leave my big crazy puppy and old grumpy dog in her hands! Whew, what a relief. Stef L.”
“Braydon is highly reliable, caring to senior pet care needs and is knowledgeable in administering medications to our senior Maltipoo. He is a great communicator and has an affinity for animals.”
“Alexis is amazing!!! She was wonderful with my 3 small dogs. I had originally had someone scheduled to stay with my dogs but that sitter canceled on me 2 days prior to my trip. Alexis agreed to drop in visits for us. With my little pups I needed someone every 3-4 hours and she was willing which is a big ask, that is a lot of time out of her day and family time especially around the Holidays. I am so grateful to have found her. My dogs were happy and well taken care of. I will definitely be scheduling with Alexis again.”
About: I have had dogs of my own since I was born and pet sat since I was 15...but had experience with drop ins, housing, and walking dogs since I was 12! I love all animals, and currently have 3 dogs of my own since Small, medium, and large! I would love to love on your pets while you are away, so reach out if you need me for anything! I work as a nanny and have a very flexible schedule that allows me to take mostly all visits that are booked a week in advance, and I can work around later bookings! I have a fenced yard and 3 dogs at my house...a small, medium, and large, that LOVE to play. This is an option if you are comfortable with that or I am happy to do house visits or stay at the house!
“We are so pleased with the service that Iris provided for our senior kitty, Marilyn, while we were away on vacation! Iris was a great communicator throughout and very patient and thorough with the care she provided. Iris exudes a true love and passion for animals. We would highly recommend her to anyone!”
“Ryngo has been getting the attention she needs while I am at work! She has been doing a fantastic job keeping me updated and making sure my pup gets her potty and meal breaks while I’m gone :) I look forward to continuing to book her during my work hours!”
“Danielle is amazing, she sends tons of pictures of your pets which I love. You can tell she really loves animals so I felt very comfortable trusting her with my dog and cat! 😊”
“Scott took great care of my very anxious golden retriever! Scott was reliable and kept Meeko on his schedule. He text me about his visits and sent me pictures. He not only let him out, he played with him in the backyard and took him for a walk. He even got Meeko to eat his food, which never happens when I am away! I highly recommend Scott and will definitely be using him again!”
“Kathryn was responsive and had no problem with my specific requests! I have a skittish rescue and she made sure to give both pups time and attention and keep them safe and sound while we were out of town. As an anxious pet parent I appreciate it!”
“Zoe was absolutely incredible. She met with us beforehand to make sure everyone was at ease with the arrangement. She spent plenty of time with our cats at each visit and took plenty of pictures to make sure they got some love and attention. On top of all that, she seemed like a genuine and caring person. We will be happy to use her again in the future and you should too!”
About: I love spending time with animals! I grew up with dogs and have two cats of my own. I work remote full time so I can get away whenever. Wanting to start doing this as a hobby more than anything else! I work full time remotely so I can get away pretty easily during the weekdays (especially in Carmel) I can always work around weekend availability as well! I have drop in visits for cats and dogs before for friends and family. I can accommodate whatever is needed for safety and comfort in your home!
About: I own four rescue dogs, three of which are small and one of which is medium. I am currently fostering a cat and an elderly dog. All of my animals will be in their crates if you book me for boarding. I’m currently free 24/7 so I’ll have plenty of time to entertain your pets. Although come August I will be back in collage and I’ll only be able to mornings and nights. I have a large fenced yard with plenty of space to play and currently five small/medium sized dogs that are very friendly for your pet to play with.
About: I have ample experience watching my friend's energetic dog. At first he was shy around me, but I was able to gain his trust and now we're buddies! :) I am doing only gig work at the moment while I am learning languages and upskilling. My schedule is very flexible and that allows me to adapt to your pet's specific needs. I pay close attention to promptings from the pet of needing additional attention and care. I also pay attention for feedback on the pet's feelings about their food.
“Jasmine looked in on Madison all week. This is the first time Madison was alone so I was especially nervous. She took direction well and made necessary adjustments to make sure Madison as as comfortable as possible. I will be re-booking!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 1,198 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Riverwood. 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 Riverwood. On Rover:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
