“Isabella was so great with our Kitty! She was very communicative and sent lots of pictures throughout our trip. She even made sure to provide detailed updates of Kitty's mood and behaviors during her visits. We will definitely be booking her again for future trips!”
“Donai was exceptional! I knew when she came to meet Alice and Hank and she got on the floor to meet them, and asked for some treats to win them over, that she had already won over my approval. She gave me daily updates and daily pictures. It made me so happy on my trip to both see them, and also see that they were being well cared for and loved. Would definitely book Donai again!!”

“We couldn’t be happier with the care that Mary provides for our dog. Bodger aka Huevo absolutely loves her and it’s clear that Mary genuinely cares about the animals she watches. She has also been incredibly flexible and accommodating with our changing work schedules which has been such a help Because our dog is a rescue finding someone we could completely trust was extremely important to us. Mary exceeded our expectations and gave us peace of mind from the very beginning. Knowing Huevo is safe and happy and well cared for when we’re away is priceless. We highly recommend Mary to anyone looking for a dependable and caring and trustworthy dog sitter!”

About: As a previously Licensed Veterinary Technician with more than 30 years of experience in veterinary medicine, I've cared for dogs of every breed, size, age, and personality—from energetic puppies to senior dogs with special medical needs. I'm comfortable administering oral and injectable medications, and I am familiar with post-operative care. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, playing fetch, or simply spending time with a caring companion, I can match each visit to their individual needs and routine. My goal is to make your dog feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. I'll provide dependable care, plenty of attention, and regular updates so you can have complete peace of mind knowing your best friend is in experienced hands. I am retired, so my scheule is very flexible for late morning, afternoon, and evening visits and walks. I can also do weekends and most holidays. I am unable to care for pets in my own home with 3 cats that are very content with the current housing situation and few guests.
About: I have always loved dogs and wanted to be around them. At age 10, I started my own dog walking business in my neighborhood. Then a few years later my family finally got our own dog (she’s a husky named Skye). Since then, I helped with daily caretaking (walks, grooming, feeding, etc.) until I left for college. During that time I also dogsat for about 10 different families. Many of those families were reoccurring customers! The dogs ranged from puppies to seniors, so I have experience with dogs of all ages! I will love your dog like you love your dog! I am currently a student, and it is now the summer so I am extra flexible with your pets needs! I have a part time job a few day a week, so I have lots of time to give to your pets! Overall, my schedule is very flexible! I will care for your dog in your home however I am needed! While I am home for the summer, I cannot host any dogs in my house, but when I am back to school in the fall I can!
About: Check out my Instagram page to see all the fun your dogs could have! My love for dogs started in third grade when I wrote a persuasive essay to my parents about why I want a dog. I grew up with two mini Australian Shepherds (yes, because of my essay) but they no longer live with me. To this day, my enthusiasm for dogs still grows. I love everything from training, playing, walking, and caring for them. I believe that life is short as is and I want to have a positive impact with every dog I come across. My love for dogs will never go away. The happiness I feel towards caring for dogs and helping owners out in a time of need is unexplainable. I work full-time as an engineer in the construction industry. I can take care of 3 dogs per night. I love to spend every minute I can spoiling them with love and one on one attention. I love learning about your furry friend and what makes them unique and finding out their cute little quirks. My favorite is when I’m able to capture it in a photo or video and send it to you. I will go out of my way to ensure your pet has the best time possible and is comfortable when I care for them. Whether it’s playing, cuddling, or walking them that puts them in their happy place, I’ll gladly do it! I am available every day of the week for dog boarding. I work full-time as an engineer in the construction industry. Drop-off & Pick-up times that normally work best with my schedule are before work (6:30 AM-7:15 AM) & after work (5:30 PM-10 PM). During the weekends, I am available all day, but times do need to be coordinated in advance. I have a fenced in yard (4ft chain link) with neighbors who have dogs as well. When taking care of multiple dogs from different families, I am able to separate them when I leave so they are never in contact when I'm not home. I have a border collie that will keep your pup on their toes! He loves to play and has been very well socialized. I treat your dogs with the same amount of care, love, & attention as I do my own.

Taylor and Kyle were exceptional with our pets while we were gone on a vacation for 9 days. They sent so many photos and you could tell our pets were very happy and felt cared for and loved while we were away. I will definitely be working with him in the future.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 557 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:
- 95% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 99% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 100% 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.
