“Really glad to have found Gretchen! I booked a single day check-in as a sort of trial run for a longer 4-day vacation I’ll be taking soon. It’s seems that my very shy and skittish cat has already warmed up to her enough to come out and play. Highly recommended!”
About: I love all animals. I have a very active puppy that loves walks and I know that everyone’s lives get busy. I try and be available as needed but I also work full time. My pet care experience has mostly been with my own animals. Everyone is busy and tend to work long days. It sucks when you feel guilty for not spending time with your dog. Luckily with services like this you are free from guilt and know that your dog is being taken care of. I love having the option of someone walking my dog (especially after a very long day). If you are comfortable with it my dog also loves new friends and long walks. I try and walk my dog everyday. I work full time but have a flexible schedule to care for animals. I have two dogs but I split them with my ex and on those weeks, I’m extra available. I have a large condo that has access to lots of walking paths and nature. The animal would feel safe and comfortable at my home. I’m also able to go to your home and provide care (that can be easier for pets). I currently watch a lot of my friends dogs when they are out and have shown that I care for their space and animals.
“ChristyLynn, did a great job! She always sent me updates and pictures with each visit. Felt relt really secure with her in taking care of my cats during visits. Totally recommend her with cat care.”
About: I have 20+ years of experience living with and caring for animals, including dogs, cats, guinea pigs, rabbits, chickens, and more! I have a dog training background (with a professional certification) and am comfortable working with dogs of all ages and sizes. I’m patient with any pets who are shy or nervous and will work to gain their trust. I’m open to providing specialized care (like administering medications or feeding different pets different diets) with your instructions. I’m a graduate student and have a remote job, so as long as I have internet access in your home, I can stay and give your pets lots of love! I’m also available for drop-in visits and walks. I know how nerve wracking it can be to leave your pets with a sitter. I’m very responsible, communicative, and caring. I’ll be sure to follow your instructions closely, and will provide regular updates with photos so you can feel confident and comfortable while your pets are in my care. I work remotely, so as long as internet access is provided during house sits, I can dedicate lots of time to caring for your pets. I am very organized and clean, and will be respectful of your home whether staying overnight or dropping in. Your pet’s safety is the highest priority to me, so I’ll follow your guidance and take any precautions (like avoiding other dogs on walks or being extra careful when entering/exiting the home, if needed).
About: Very similarly to my history with cats, I've never known a life without at least one pup in my life! Although I don't have my own dog at the moment because I have no space for pups to play, and I know they need to be able to get energy out, and an apartment isn't the best place for that, my Mom still has two dogs that I care for often. As she did with cats, my Mom bred Lhasa Apsos on several occasions, and of course, those doggies were nothing less than completely pampered(as they should be)! I've helped with everything from bathing dogs of all sizes, to walking dogs, to actually helping with delivering puppies! I've had so many breeds of dogs, each with their own personality! I've had Lhasa Apsos, Australian Shepards, Mastiffs, a Saint Bernard, Golden Retrievers, Labradoodles, Greyhounds, and more! My Mom currently has 2 Labradoodles, and I've watched/dog sat them on several occasions. I'd love to have the opportunity to get to know you and your pup(s), and help you in any way I can! If you're in need of a dogsitter, please feel free to reach out! Have a fabulous day! I don't have many times during the week where I'm not available! I will be busy on Thursday mornings until 11:30 for the next several weeks, but aside from that, I'm very flexible and can work with what you need for your schedule. I will be able to care for dogs in your home as you need me to. I can care for cats in my apartment if needed, and if you're comfortable with your cat(s) being around my kitties. No matter what, I will be able to come to you and your cat(s)/dogs(s) and help out!
“Beyond kind to both me and my kitty! Always on time, very attentive, and sent great updates and photos! Took the time to interact and play with my cat and always responded quick! Highly recommend!”
“We couldn’t be happier with our experience! Andi was incredibly responsive throughout our whole trip and kept us at ease with tons of great photos of our cats as well as updates about their wellbeing. It was clear our kitties were in great hands. We will be booking again!”
“Samantha was great with our Corgi puppy! She was available last minute, very caring for our dog, and thorough with her visit. We would recommend her to anyone in the area!”
“Adeline took excellent care of our 2 elder kitties while we were out of the country. We are very grateful and will definitely work with her again next time we travel.”
“Emily was a great sitter! She was extremely responsive, thorough, kind, and followed our instructions perfectly. I highly recommend Emily for your pets. We will definitely book her again.”
“Selena was a fantastic and communicative pet sitter. She assured we were updated and that our cat was safe and well taken care of. We had to unexpectedly extend our trip by a week due to illness and Selena went above and beyond to help us out, making a difficult situation much less stressful. Would recommend Selena to anyone seeking a trustworthy and reliable sitter.”

“Lydia dropped in to care for Teddy & Tomi over multiple days, and she was wonderful throughout. She was very communicative and kept me updated, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. I truly trust her with my fur babies and appreciate the care, attention, and reliability she showed them. It’s such a comfort knowing Teddy & Tomi are in kind, capable hands with Lydia.”
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover with plenty of experience caring for dogs and cats. I’ve previously walked dogs through Rover, cared for dogs in my own home, and grown up around family pets.

About: I’ve taken care of pets since I was 10, 30 years of experience. Each individual pet is different and I want to love and give them the special attention they need. I have open availability. I am willing to work around your schedule and what’s best for you and your pet. Boarding or just drop in visits, either way I have a lot of love to give.

About: Let's be real: our pets are family, and they deserve to be cared for like it! I recently moved to the PNW, but over the last nine years before joining Rover, I've had opportunities to help care for and work with dogs, cats, horses, guinea pigs, hamsters, birds, and lizards! As a lifelong pet parent myself, I understand the need to have a reliable, caring, and experienced pet sitter, and I work to provide that for every family I work with! Since I work from home and have a fully remote school schedule, my availability is incredibly flexible! Need a mid-day check-in and a walk? I'm there! Out late and need a last minute sitter? Sounds perfect! I emphasize positive reinforcement and play with my pets and my client's pets. Maintaining your house rules with your pet while building trust through engagement and some light training (basic obedience) will help me establish a relationship with your pet based on mutual trust and play. Dogs deserve to feel safe, comfortable, and confident, and I feel so lucky that I get to be part of that.
“Hannah took fantastic care of our Roo! For a cat notoriously slow to warm up to strangers, he fell in love with Hannah immediately. We received thorough updates and adorable photos every day, and we will definitely be booking with Hannah again.”

Sharon went above and beyond while pet sitting my dog and cat. My cat has some chronic conditions and I needed someone I could trust with his medications. Sharon took excellent care of them, communicated well, and left my house spotless. I highly recommend her!
Sydney was absolutely wonderful! As a new cat mom and a first-time Rover user, I was a little nervous about leaving my two ragdoll one year old boys, but Sydney immediately put me at ease. I really appreciated that she came over for a meet-and-greet beforehand, and it was clear right away how genuinely she loves and understands animals. While I was away, her updates made me feel completely comfortable knowing the cats were in great hands. She was incredibly attentive, spent time playing with them, and clearly cared about making sure they were happy and comfortable. I loved getting her updates and seeing how well they were doing. I couldn’t have asked for a better first Rover experience. I highly recommend Sydney and will absolutely be booking with her again!
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!

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Riverwood is $20 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $32 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

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 .
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 , 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 .

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 , 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.
