“Leslie is amazing and the best cat sitter!!! I continue to utilize her services as she takes such good care of my fur babies when I am away. I appreciate her and the care she gives my kitties. I recommend Leslie to anyone looking for a cat sitter:)”

“Nathan did a wonderful job taking care of our fur babies. They liked him a lot when he came by for a meet and greet. He was great at keeping us updated on all the visits we asked of him.”

About: Growing up with a veterinary technician mother, I have seen how crucial animal care is up close. I have also spent years working in animal foster care and of course, caring for my own babies. I grew up with multiple friends and family who had everything from dogs and cats, to lizards, to horses and am well prepped to take care of your furry friend too! I only work part-time several days a month as my job is currently moving into off-season. My schedule is therefore quite open right now until the season shifts but I will communicate and update as things change. I would love to fill my time with both pet care and the exercise of dog walking! When possible, I visit clients homes prior to their departure so we have a mutual understanding. This helps me see the owner and pet interactions in person, understand the home, and ask any upfront questions as well as answer any that may immediately come up. It is easy for me to find a relaxed activity to do that can keep me with the pets and at their attention at all times.

“Natalee is such a sweet and caring person who genuinely loves the animals in her care. She took the time to come meet us and our cat before the visits started which made us so comfortable. We were gone for an extended period of time and I couldn’t have been happier with the experience. We greatly appreciated all of the photos, updates, notes, time, care, attention and love she gave our fur baby. Will absolutely use her again in the future.”


About: I have extensive hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages and personalities. I’ve worked at two doggy daycares and a humane society, where I gained experience caring for and handling a wide variety of dogs. I’ve also shadowed at veterinary clinics and have had dogs my entire life. I’m comfortable caring for dogs from puppies to seniors and understand that every dog has different needs, energy levels, and personalities. I’m passionate about providing safe, loving, and attentive care to every dog I work with! Pet care is already a big part of my daily routine! I have always had animals and currently care for multiple pets, so I’m very comfortable building feeding, cleaning, exercise, playtime, and attention into my schedule. I enjoy spending time with animals and make sure they receive consistent care, attention, and plenty of love every day. I’m also happy to dedicate additional time to pet sitting, dog walking, and daycare depending on my schedule. I care for every pet as if they were my own. In a client’s home, I follow their normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding, walks, playtime, medication if needed, and plenty of attention and cuddles. I’m respectful of their home and make sure pets are safe, comfortable, and never left without proper care. I understand that every pet is different, so I adjust my approach based on their age, personality, energy level, and individual needs.
“Jasmine is the absolute best!! She goes above and beyond - even taking in our trash can and bringing in our packages. She is so sweet and cleans up a little as well. She even stays with my pets for at least half an hour every visit and gives them loving. I don't trust anyone more than Jasmine and will keep choosing her as my #1 to watch my pets!”

“This is my first time ever using Rover. I think that Steph was amazing. But I realize I did not know to tell her that my girls are very talkative girls and the more she talks the more they respond to her. We had one miscommunication, that the food upstairs was already upstairs. But I will learn to do better! She did a great job for me!”

“Another great experience with Samantha! She was very attentive to both kitties, noticed right away that Griffy was feeling a bit off, and even cleaned up his puke-mess on the carpet! Highly recommend her!”

About: I was a devoted pet parent for 12 years, caring for my yorkies Maggie & Molly from the time they were one through their senior years. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, potty breaks, maintaining routines, and administering insulin injections when needed. While I’m new to providing pet care professionally, I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets. I’ll treat your pets with the same care, patience, and love I’d want for my own 🐾 I work Monday through Friday 9am to 4pm. I’m in the office every Tuesday & Wednesday and every other Monday. I work from home on Thursdays & Fridays. I can provide pet care both before and after work, with extra flexibility on my work-from-home days ☺️ I care for pets with patience, attention, and lots of love. In a client’s home, I’ll follow their normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding, potty breaks, walks, playtime, medications, and plenty of attention. I’ll make sure they’re comfortable and safe, and I’ll keep you updated while you’re away 🐾❤️

About: I’ve had pets my entire life and currently care for two cats and a 13-year-old black lab, so I understand the different needs pets have at every stage of life. Caring for a senior dog has given me experience with daily medications, supplements, patience, and maintaining consistent routines to keep pets comfortable and happy. I also have experience pet sitting for friends and family, and I always treat every pet like they’re my own. I’m dependable, attentive, and focused on making pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I recently graduated from PA school and have a flexible summer schedule while preparing for my certification exam and pending licensure. This gives me plenty of availability to dedicate time and attention to pet care throughout the day. I’m reliable, organized, and able to accommodate a variety of routines, whether that includes walks, drop-ins, feedings, or simply keeping pets company and making sure they feel comfortable and cared for. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I follow all instructions closely, make sure pets are fed, walked, and cared for on schedule, and give them plenty of attention and comfort while you’re away. I also keep the space clean and make sure everything is secure so you can feel at ease knowing your pets and home are in good hands.
“Kyla is so contentious - she kept me posted when her schedule altered from our requested times. I appreciate her great communication. I will certainly use her again in the future.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 361 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 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 Meet & Greet.

sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
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.
