Cat Sitting Richmond

“Daphne is a great pet sitter, I used her services last year for my cats and booked her again this year because of how impressed I was that she got my “ghost” cat (who is normally never seen by others) out of her hiding spots. My other girl had some health issues that popped up just before I left and she was so good with giving my kitty her medicine and keeping me updated about her condition. Thank you so much Daphne.”

About: ❥ We’re Tianna and Tyler, a loving couple from Richmond. We’re the kind of people who get ridiculously excited when a pet wants to play or decides it’s cuddle time 🐶 ❥ Animals have always been a huge part of our lives, and we’re happiest when we’re around them! Tianna grew up surrounded by dogs and has continued caring for friends’ pups as an adult, while Tyler was a proud cat daddy to his own kitty for over 17 years. ❥ Together we have hands-on experience with both dogs and cats, from everyday feeding + walks to keeping them entertained or just giving them company. We bring a very attentive and genuinely enthusiastic approach to pet care. We’re also happy to reinforce basic training, such as simple commands & habits already introduced by their owners. ❥ We absolutely adore the fun energy of playful youngsters just as much as the companionship of affectionate cuddle bugs, gentle seniors, and shy sweethearts! Getting to know each pet’s personality and discovering what makes them happy is one of our favourite parts of caring for them. We’re especially patient with those who need extra time to warm up, giving them the space to build trust naturally. ❥ We take the time to learn each pet’s routine and individual needs so they feel safe, comfortable, and at home with us. More than anything, we want every furry guest to feel like a cherished member of the family. Sharing those sweet everyday moments is what makes pet sitting so special to us! 🐾 ❥ We love welcoming furry companions into our everyday lives and making room in our days for their care! Tianna works from home when her schedule allows, and we share responsibilities so our little friends can enjoy plenty of attention and loving company. ❥ We know how reassuring a familiar routine can be when pets are spending time with someone new. Learning about their usual feeding times and favourite activities helps us plan their care around the rhythm they're used to! ❥ Our schedules are fairly flexible depending on our commitments, although pets may occasionally be on their own for around 1–3 hours when we're both out. We're always happy to chat about your pet's needs beforehand so we can make sure the arrangement feels right for everyone ❣️ ❥ Our pet-friendly Richmond apartment has no resident pets, and we primarily board cats and smaller dogs. Before confirming a stay, we like to make sure our space is a good fit for each furry guest. ❥ We’re happy to accommodate familiar beds or crates & discuss their usual sleeping arrangements beforehand. We only welcome up to two pets from the same household at a time, so your little ones won’t be sharing their stay with animals from another family. ❥ When caring for pets in their own homes, we treat your space with the same respect we’d want for ours. We carefully follow your household instructions and pay attention to doors + exits whenever we arrive or leave. If anything unexpected comes up, we’ll communicate promptly and keep you informed about your little one 💓

“Mikayla did a great job looking after our cat Scotty. She was very easy to work with and clearly took the time to make sure was well attended too and taken care of. Scotty was very relaxed when we got back home as if we never left! Thank you Mikayla!”

About: I spent my whole childhood around cats and kittens. They were our additional siblings! In addition, I have 2 years of cat sitting experience for friends and family. I am a caring, responsible, and attentive cat lover who will treat your kitty like my own. My goal is to make sure your cat feels safe, comfortable, and purr-fectly cared for while you're away. I work weekdays from 8:30am-3:30pm & am free weekends. I have a reliable car so I can commute to work from any location. I can do early morning and/or afternoon & evening feedings or drop ins as well. My cat care will include scheduled feedings, treats when necessary, thorough litter box cleaning, general tidying, lots of pets and cuddles, playtime, grooming, supervised outside time (if preferred), and any other special requests from owners.

“Ebony took amazing care of our two cats, Bear and Zeus. She sent us frequent updates and it was clear that our cats got attached to her. 🥹 We will rebook with Ebony again.”

“Tiana did an amazing job. She was great at sending photos and checking in. Higgs is normally pretty shy with new people but he warmed up to her instantly!”

“Heng-Chi was fantastic with my cat, Miso. She paid close attention to every detail, sent thoughtful and prompt updates, and genuinely cared about Miso’s wellbeing. She worked around my schedule with zero fuss and even left the litter box spotless. I’d happily book Heng-Chi again and recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring sitter.”

About: In my role as a pet caregiver, my approach is shaped by years of experience not only in pet care but also in child care, which has given me a unique perspective. Both animals and young children are sensitive, easily influenced by their surroundings, and need consistent, patient attention. This background has deepened my understanding of pets’ behaviors and emotions, allowing me to offer truly attentive, individualized care that helps each animal feel secure. With each pet, I take the time to observe and understand their unique personality and needs. I adjust my approach to help them feel at ease, whether it’s following their meal times, exercise routines, or favorite play activities. This mindfulness ensures everything is structured yet calm, respecting their pace and helping them feel comfortable in their routines. One area that sets me apart is my experience with basic training, especially with younger pets who may need guidance with potty training or socialization. Through gentle, consistent reinforcement, I help them build good habits, ensuring they feel more confident in new settings or around other animals. My approach is also highly adaptable, as I know each pet and situation is unique. This flexibility allows me to respond calmly and appropriately to any issues, ensuring pets feel safe and comfortable at all times. In my daily pet care schedule, I start each day with a visit in the morning to ensure the pets are fed, litter boxes are cleaned, and some play time or a short walk if applicable. During my midday visit, I focus on spending time with the pets, engaging in interactive play, and checking on their health. In the evening, I visit again for feeding and more play time. This is also when I thoroughly clean the litter boxes and check for any health issues to ensure that each pet is satisfied and safe for the night. As a pet caregiver, I understand that it is important to balance caring for pets with maintaining a personal life. I create a flexible care schedule for each pet that allows time to meet their needs in my busy daily life. By scheduling feeding, walking, and playtime in advance, I am able to use my time efficiently and ensure that each pet receives adequate attention. In addition, I use a few pet care apps to track feeding times, health, and training progress. These tools help me better organize my schedule, reduce the likelihood of forgetting, and ensure that each pet is cared for on time. I am able to find a balance between pet care and my personal life, ensuring that both my pets and I enjoy a fulfilling and enjoyable life, which also makes me feel more fulfilled at work. As a pet caregiver, my first priority is to ensure that pets live in a safe, trusting and comfortable environment. To this end, I will carefully check the environment before each care to ensure that there are no potential hazards, such as poisonous plants, wires or small objects, which may cause harm to pets. And use safe traction equipment to ensure the safety of outdoor activities. I build a trusting relationship with each pet through gentle interaction and patient companionship, while regularly giving feedback to pet owners about their situation to ensure that they are reassured by my care methods. To create a comfortable environment, I will provide pets with a quiet resting area, clean their living space regularly, and provide personalized care services based on the personality and habits of each pet, so that they feel happy and at ease under my care.

“Charlotte took great care for our two cats. Even though it was a shirt stay (1 nights) our little guys seemed comfortable right from meeting her until our return. She kept the place clean and no issues to report. Would definitely look to book her again for our next trip.”

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Above and beyond – highly recommend! This was my first time using Rover for in-home cat sitting, and I was really nervous before I left. But Liping made me feel completely at ease from start to finish! What touched me most was that she sent tons of videos and photos every single day – and not just random shots. She captured those lively moments of my cats playing, eating, and napping, and even included pictures of the weather outside to reassure me. I was in a different time zone, but every morning I woke up to a detailed "daily report" from the night before – it honestly felt like I had never left. Communication was flawless. Before I left, she made time for a video call to go over feeding routines, medication locations, and emergency contacts. After each visit, she’d immediately update me on the cats' mood, how much they ate, and their litter box habits. When she had even a small question – like noticing a different bag design for the same kibble – she snapped a photo and double‑checked with me. So thoughtful! Her attention to detail was spot on: fresh water, food, and litter every day, plus she kindly brought in my packages. The sweetest part? She spent at least half an hour playing with the cats each visit. My shy orange tabby actually came up to her for pets on the second day! When I came back, both cats had glossy coats and were calm and happy – they didn’t seem stressed at all, unlike some boarding experiences. For a new sitter, Liping’s professionalism and care rival (or even surpass) many seasoned pros. This experience gave me total peace of mind, and I’ll definitely book her first next time. I genuinely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, loving pet sitter!”

About: Growing up on a farm with various animals, I feel it’s just easier for me to understand their needs. Caring for animals comes very naturally to me and I love them like my own babies.

“Cagla is a fantastic Rover sitter! We boarded our cat George with her for a few days over Christmas. Cagla has excellent communication skills and responds promptly to messages. She is friendly & personable. She took great care of George and made him feel welcome & secure. Our family loved the update pics Cagla regularly sent. We would not hesitate to call on Cagla again and heartily recommend her as Rover sitter!”

“Tanya was a great cat sitter. She stayed in touch with me and sent me photos. My cat was very happy when I returned! And my house looked great! I would love to have Tanya as my cat sitter again in the future.”

“Halyna and Ugurcan were beyond amazing! I 100% recommend them to any anxious and attached pet parents looking for responsible, stable, calm, capable caretakers! I had a previously arranged sitter drop out three days before a two-week international vacation and I was super stressed. Halyna responded to my initial message immediately and quickly arranged a meeting for that same day. Both Halyna and Ugurcan came over and were so, so, so sweet! They listened to all the instructions and accepted the booking on the spot. One of my cats has asthma that requires an inhaler and the other is very anxious so I was worried about the introduction of strangers. Ugurcan being a vet was the final selling point! During my vacation they were incredibly responsive and shared regular updates in-app and over text with me, including photos and videos. There were 0 issues and I came back to two very happy, content, well-cared-for cats, who even became friendly to Halyna and Ugurcan towards the end despite being very nervous around people. I cannot thank Halyna and Ugurcan enough for taking this booking last minute and being so great. I will definitely turn to them as my regular sitters in the future :)”

About: I’ve spent a lot of time around dogs. I grew up around them a lot as both my aunt and my uncle each had a dog of their own. I have baby sat and taken care of peoples pets from time to time through request but never on rover until recently. I am good with all types of dog breeds regardless of size. Big dogs don’t intimidate me , they just haven’t gotten to know me , yet. That being said I love to get out and keep active , walking dogs is great for that. I also really enjoy the time I spend with these animals. I hope to hear from you all soon. Cat owner of 25+ years Cat sitter with equal experience Dog sitter with 1 years experience ongoing. I am a pretty flexible person , I’m currently focusing on making pet sitting and dog walking my main source of income as I have always had a passion for animals , I just never really thought about monetizing it. I’ve baby sat cats here and there for friends and family and I also I have 2 of my own , but I’m also very good with dogs. I recently spent some time dog sitting for a neighbour which went really well , so I decided to give this a go as it seemed to be a really good way to make money at something I’m passionate about , which is my love for animals and spending time with them.
