“If I could only give more than 5 stars, I would do so. Jingjing is a superb sitter! She always gives you an update about what’s happening with your pet for you not to worry. She’s very flexible and highly accommodating. She’s also very knowledgeable about taking care of pets. I would definitely leave Sasha to Jingjing’s care if I ever need a sitter again. :)”

“Benji had a very happy reunion with his 2 fellow dachshunds. As soon as we arrived at Tracy's, Benji walked right over to Tracy and was "at home". Tracy kept Benji active with walks and play time, and even let him help with the laundry and landscaping. This was Benji's 4th stay with Tracy and he has several more this year to look forward to. Highly recommend!!”

About: I have experience caring for multiple large breeds as both a dog walker and sitter. Raising my own stubborn Chow Chow taught me patience and confidence with strong-willed dogs. I also cared for her through blindness and the removal of one eye, so I’m comfortable supporting dogs who need extra attention, gentle care, and close monitoring. Every dog in my care is treated like family. I work from home Mondays, Thursdays, and Fridays, which allows for plenty of supervision, walks, and companionship. I’m in the office Tuesdays and Wednesdays, and it’s dog-friendly, so dog sitting can still be an option if needed. I care for pets in a calm, clean, and safe environment with lots of supervision, affection, and regular walks or potty breaks. I always follow their usual routine for feeding, exercise, medications, and any special instructions to help them feel comfortable and secure. In a client’s home, I respect their space and keep their pet’s routine consistent while providing updates and photos for peace of mind. Safety, patience, and making every pet feel at home are my top priorities.
The median cost per night for pet boarding in Richmond is $50

Sara was a wonderful sitter!😊 Koo had a fantastic stay and was so well cared for. I loved receiving the updates, photos, and videos throughout his stay. Her family also spent lots of time playing with him, and he looked incredibly happy. When I picked him up, he almost seemed like he didn’t want to leave! I would happily book with Sara again and highly recommend her.🐾
I knew the moment I picked Dooly up how much he loved being there and how comfortable he was. 😊 Daisy kept us updated with photos every day, which gave us so much peace of mind. Most importantly, she cared for our baby with genuine love, warmth, and professionalism. I would trust Daisy with Dooly anytime without hesitation. We’re so grateful for the wonderful care she gave him! ❤️🐾
Warshi is excellent pet care. She doesn’t do the caring as a job only, she does it with her heart and all her love. My dog Fafa had been taken care for a week and my dog was obviously happy and excited to play with her dog Sophie. I strongly recommend everyone let their dogs to be care by Warshi, and Myself would definitely come back to her again.
Ani was great with Minnie. She took the time to make sure Minnie was comfortable and settled in right from drop-off, and throughout the week she sent lots of photos and kept me up to date. It was clear Minnie was getting plenty of love and was very comfortable in Ani’s calm, relaxed household. She came home happy and settled, and I felt completely confident that she was in good hands while I was away. Ani was also great to deal with and very responsive. I’ll definitely be asking her to look after Minnie again.
We had a wonderful experience with Trudy looking after our cat while we were away camping. She was very friendly, reliable, and easy to communicate with throughout the whole process. We especially appreciated the daily photo and video updates—it was so nice to see how our cat was doing while we were away and gave us great peace of mind. We came home to a happy and well-cared-for cat. 😊 We would definitely trust Trudy to look after our cat again and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and dependable cat sitter!
Mandy and Jacky took great care of Lily and made sure she was comfortable and well looked after. I really appreciated the regular updates and photos, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. Lily seemed happy and well cared for when I picked her up. I would definitely recommend them and would be happy to have them look after Lily again!
Xuanhanyue was amazing with Gala! She was so kind and caring, and it was clear that Gala was very comfortable and happy with her. Gala also made a new friend named Bubble, Xuan’s pet poodle. Bubble kept Gala company the entire time and made her stay very enjoyable. I really appreciated the updates while I was away. It gave me so much peace of mind. I’d definitely have Xuanhanyue look after Gala again!
From start to finish, Catherine and her dog Summer were amazing hosts to our dog Dizzy. Catherine was kind, caring, flexible and responsible. We were provided with regular updates and lots of photos. Dizzy had a most pleasant stay and we are so grateful to have this home away from home!
Sinsi was very responsive and accommodating to my husky’s needs. While it was a short notice booking she took the time to meet with me and Jasmyn first to ensure we were a good fit. Regular photo updates were also provided. I would happily rebook when the time comes! Thank you
Good communication and prompt responses throughout. I really appreciated the regular photos and updates showing what Taco was getting up to. It was clear from the photos that he was comfortable, happy, and making himself right at home. He needed no transition time when he returned home and was immediately his usual happy self. Would definitely use this sitter again. :)
We are so glad to have chosen Jody and Mitchell to take care of our cat Patate! She spent 8 days at their home, it was the longest we ever left her and everything went great. Patate is a healthy young cat but she's scared of strangers, and that can make her spicy. But Jody and Mitchell were patient, left her space and time, and by the end of her stay, Mitchell was even able to hold her. The communication went smoothly and Jody and Mitchell were very flexible. I recommend them 100% and will definitely book them again if needed!

The average cost for Pet Boarding in Richmond on Rover is $48.84 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Boarding easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Pet Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 2,890 sitters on Rover offering Pet Boarding across Richmond. Enter your postal code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

- 97% can help with daily exercise

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.
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 pet, 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.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they do not have any disqualifying offences.
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 .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
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.
