“J Does a great job with my pup and yesterday was super helpful because she drilled him on his commands and helped get some kongs prepped. J is reliable and communicates well.”
“Jon and his fiancee were so wonderful! They came in clutch last minute, and were super communicative, thoughtful, and sweet to our pup. Will absolutely book with them again!”
“Maya was communicative, punctual and professional. My kitties and apartment were both well cared for. I will book with her again without hesitation.”
“We were so nervous about leaving our brand new puppy home for the first time while we went back to work. Megan came twice to feed and play with our two pups and was amazing and very communicative. Definitely recommend!”
“I had to leave for a few days for a work trip, and I was extremely anxious about leaving my little-old-man of a cat home alone. I wanted somebody who I felt was reliable to check in on him and to be available in case of an emergency. Anna was very friendly, helpful, and attentive to my pet's needs. She did a great job and gave me some much needed peace of mind for my trip.”
“Lucas was very attentive and so sweet to our old kitty. Our cat sometimes decides he won’t use his litter box and Lucas handled it with grace and total rockstar. Beau also can be picky who he likes but warmed up to Lucas right away!! We will absolutely be booking Lucas again. Highly recommend!”
“Sydney is great. Our cat Elsa is 19 and very shy. Sydney has made a great effort to get to know here and make her comfortable during their visits. No other sitter has gone as far. Sydney is very much appreciated here.”
“Great communication! My kitties are usually afraid of people even people that are regularly in the house! But they are so at ease with Lucinda! Always happy and healthy when I get home! Thank you so much!”
“This was my first time using Rover and a dog sitter, so I was a little nervous at first — but Kathy immediately put me at ease! She was warm, professional, and clearly experienced with dogs. My pups were relaxed and enjoyed their time with her. I appreciated the updates and photos she sent, which really helped me relax while I was away. I couldn’t have asked for a better first experience — thank you, Kathy!”
“Susan was great with my very anxious kitty, seemed like they immediately had a good rapport, was great that she was able to get him to play during their visits as he’s typically a suspicious guy. Thanks!”
“Stacy always does well with my fur babies. She is thorough and on time! She checks in to clarify if needed and is very caring in her tasks. I am so appreciative of her pet sitting.”
“Jourdan was able to help with a last minute drop in that allowed me to take care of some time sensitive family matters. Her communication, knowledge, and care went above and beyond. I was able to do what I needed to do, while also knowing my diabetic cat was in the best hands possible. Thank you again, Jordan!”
“Paisley took really cute pictures of my kitty! It was nice to see the updates while I was out of town and she also helped with an extra task I needed done around the house which was appreciated.”
“Reliable and great to work with. As a one time sit for us on vacation, she quickly at ease and the pups were happy as could be. I would happily ask her to sit again.”
“Ann was great! Flexible, communicative, took cute pics of our kitties :), and came twice a day to hang out with them. Kept an extra eye on one who was just over a urinary blockage. Will definitely use her again.”
“Kaylee was amazing! She spent time with our kitties, played with them, fed them, and even gave them treats that her cat didn’t love. She was a clear communicator and reliable! We’d have her watch our cats any time!”
“Kaylin is detail oriented, a clear communicator, and made my shy cat feel safe. I appreciated her willingness to come by for a meet and greet and all of the updates along the way”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Riverwood
Kristen was amazing with our cat Marvin! I would highly recommend her. Marvin is a nervous kitty and doesn’t warm up to people easily, but Kristen put him immediately at ease. Her calm demeanor and attention to his body language (not petting at first, letting Marv come to her) made him feel safe and by the end of her sitting with him, he was downright cuddly. If you are looking for an attentive, patient and well attuned animal lover to care for your pet Kristen is it!
Hannah was able to help me out with a last minute request to feed and care for my two cats. She collected my mail and packages while I was gone, and took great care of my kitties. Her check-in photos were great, and I was able to relax during my trip knowing that she was minding the kitties while I was traveling. Thanks so much!
I recently had a fantastic experience with Justin. This is My third year in a row using him. He was incredibly friendly, helpful, and accommodating throughout the entire time he cared for my pets. His dedication made me feel confident and at ease. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!
Gera deamlessly stepped into our medical routine for our geriatric cat. She was very communicative, reached out with clarifications in places our instructions weren't explicit since she knew how delicate our cat's health can be. We really appreciated her diligence and care of our high needs cat.
We couldn't have asked for a better experience! Atlas took incredible care of our three cats this past weekend, providing wonderful updates and giving our fur babies so much genuine love and attention. We had complete peace of mind while away and will definitely be booking them again!
Tina was great with my cat, Nala. She spent time with her playing and giving her loves. Every day I was given updates with pictures of a very content kitty. Nala loved her. My Nala was very happy and content when I returned home. I appreciated the care and love she gave Nala when I was away. I will definitely request Tina when I need a sitter in the future and Nala is totally agreeable with this decision.
I don’t understand the psychology of pet owners and pet providers… perhaps it’s the common bond of loving animals, but i handed Summer our house keys within 30 minutes of our meet and greet appointment. I generally don’t do that easily. Summer was responsive to our requests for our cat’s care and meal plan and arranged to fit into our schedule without question. She sent us great photos and answered our questions promptly.

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Riverwood on Rover is $19.98 per visit (as of August 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 Riverwood. On Rover:
- 96% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
