“Christina goes above and beyond. She is a wonderful cat sitter. This is clearly more than a job to her, you can tell how much she loves animals. Sometimes she even stays longer with our cat even though she isn’t expected to. Truly amazing. We are so grateful we found her & will continue to use her as a sitter for our cat.”

About: I've had dogs and cats and fish all my life. Currently have a 9 yo lab we've had since he was a puppy, two senior cats and uncountable fish including a 55 gallon tank and too many guppies and shrimp. Comfortable with administering meds, special care and playful pups. Very flexible week day schedule between 7a-4p. Long night time walks after 9 can be tricky with my family schedule but we can usually find a good way to work it out. I'll treat your babies like they're my own. Whether that's getting good pets and play time or enforcing your rules to sit/stay/okay before meals... I'm willing and able to work within what your pets are used to and expect.

“Amanda is hands-down one of the best people who has ever cared for my beloved cat while I’m away. She was so kind and understanding about my cat’s cranky personality, and provided loving and personalized updates at each visit. Amanda also proactively confirmed with me what I’d like her to do with trash and the litter genie before I was even able to provide instructions. I will definitely be booking Amanda again for my next trip!”

“I’m so glad we booked Sarah to watch our two cats while we were traveling for a week! It’s clear she loves animals, and she really went above and beyond in caring for ours. Communication was always super quick, she followed all the care instructions, and sent cute rover cards with lots of pictures. She even wrote a card and drew little pictures of our kitties, was very cute to come home to. We will definitely book Sarah to look after our kitties next time we go out of town!”

About: I’ve grown up around dogs my entire life and have always loved spending time with them. I’m a very active person and enjoy being outside, so I’m more than happy to take dogs on walks, play with them, and make sure they get plenty of exercise. I will meet your dog at their level, whether that means keeping up with a high-energy dog or enjoying some chill relaxation together. I can also help with basic training and reinforce good habits. I’d love the opportunity to care for your dog and make sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. I work full-time as an engineer, but after recently moving to a new state, I’ve been missing having animals around. I decided to join because I’d love to spend time with pets and give them the care and attention they deserve. I’m up early and often up late, and I’m able to check in around lunch during my workday. I’m also available after I get off work at 4 PM, when I can spend more time with your pet, take them for walks, play with them, and give them plenty of attention. On weekends, I’m available all day and can dedicate as much time as needed to caring for your pet. I treat every pet and every home with the same care and respect I would want for my own. I follow your instructions closely, keep your pet’s routine as consistent as possible, and make sure doors, gates, and other entry points are secure. I’m attentive to your pet’s behavior and needs, and I’ll always prioritize their safety and comfort. I also treat your home with respect by keeping things clean, being mindful of belongings, and leaving everything just as I found it. Most importantly, I want you to feel completely comfortable knowing your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away!

“Avita took great care of my two cats and even spent extra time with them while I was gone on a longer trip. She made both the kitties and myself feel completely at ease. By the end of the trip, they were her new best friends—curling up on her chest and giving her kisses, which is a massive compliment from my cats! She also took special care of my plants. She is thoughtful, kind, highly responsive, and so easy to work with. I would recommend her to anyone!”

About: Cats have been part of my life for more than 25 years. I grew up with them, and for over a decade I’ve been the go-to cat sitter for family and friends. That experience has taught me that every cat is different, and that great care means meeting each one where they are. I’ve cared for just about every kind of cat: short-haired and long-haired, tiny kittens and senior cats, high-energy explorers and shy, anxious hiders. With playful cats, I make sure they get plenty of stimulation and attention. With nervous or timid cats, I take things slow, give them space, and let them warm up on their own terms. Seniors get the gentle patience they deserve. I’m also comfortable caring for cats with special needs, including those on medication. I’ll follow your instructions and schedule carefully so your cat’s routine stays consistent while you’re away. You’ll get regular updates and photos so you never have to wonder how your kitty is doing. My goal is simple: your cat stays happy, healthy, and comfortable, and you get real peace of mind. I have a very flexible schedule, so I’m available for drop-in visits anytime from early morning to evening, including weekends and holidays. Visits can be 30 minutes to an hour, depending on your cat’s needs. I’m also happy to do more than one visit a day if needed. Establishing trust with your furry loved one is my # 1 priority. I will follow your instructions for initiating initial contact with your pet and then work to make them feel comfortable and safe while I take care of their needs.

About: Dogs have been my whole world since I was four years old, and I've been actively caring for them since I was around ten. Now at 25, with over 15 years of hands-on experience, I know what it means to love a pet like family, not just as a pet, but as a real member of your life. I'm a proud fur-parent to Boogie, a rescue pup I adopted at four months old. He's two now, and watching him grow has only deepened how much I care about the life every dog deserves. It's something I think about a lot: our pets are experiencing everything for the very first time, and that's worth honoring. I also volunteer as a temporary foster, which means I'm comfortable meeting animals exactly where they are, whether that's a nervous newcomer or a playful goofball who wants all the attention. I take every walk and drop-in seriously, because I know a mid-day break and a kind, familiar face can make a pet's whole day. My schedule is more flexible than it might look on paper. I work full-time in the office four days a week, typically wrapping up between 3:30 and 4, and I'm always happy to stop by before work, after work, or in between my jobs. I also work part-time some weekday evenings and weekends, but my hours shift week to week, so I'd rather just talk through what works for you and go from there. If you need someone reliable who's willing to figure it out, I'm your person. When you invite me into your home, I treat it with the same care and respect I'd want for my own. I'm tidy, mindful of your space, and will always leave things exactly as I found them. Your pet's routine matters too. I'll follow whatever instructions you leave, from feeding schedules to favorite toys to the walks they're used to. For walks, I keep a close eye on leash behavior and surroundings, and I'll never push a pet past their comfort zone. I know some dogs need a slow warm-up and others are ready to go the second the leash comes out, and I'm happy to meet them wherever they are that day. You can also expect regular updates while I'm with your pet. I'm happy to send a photo, a quick message, whatever gives you peace of mind while you're away. I know handing over a key and trusting someone with your animal is a big deal, and I don't take that lightly.

About: I grew up with two dogs and have always loved being around them! I enjoy walks, playtime, and making sure every dog feels happy and loved. I currently work part-time, allowing me plenty of flexibility throughout the week! I have lots of free time to provide loving, attentive care for your pets. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my priority! I follow routines, take necessary precautions, and ensure pets feel safe and loved in their own homes.

“This was my first time leaving on a trip since I got my cat, but booking Ali was the best decision and was the biggest relief! She was very loving to my cat, gave him the best care, and was timely with her visits. She left detailed descriptions and followed all of the instructions I left. My cat is extremely shy but he warmed up to her quickly. Highly recommend!!!”

FAQs for Cat Sitting - Richfield

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Richfield is $20 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 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. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of October 2026, there are 2,860 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Richfield. 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 .

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 .

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Richfield. On Rover:

  • 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% 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 , 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.
