I’m currently in school so I have plenty of time to play with or just hang out with your pups to keep em entertained and happy If its be a special day or regular they shall be entertained. I’m very schedule oriented whether that a special diet, giving medication, or walks at certain times.
About: I have 5 years experience in the animal field professionally. I have learned animal behavior and signs, I have learned patience and understanding, how to build a bond, and so much more. I am currently working 4 days a week. I have three days a week I can fit your pet care needs into schedule. I can also possibly schedule times around my job the other 4 days as I work a swing shift. I have two separate fences on my property and a secured dog room that leads to the year fencing area with AC, dog bed, access in and out, fan, access to water at all times inside with an automatic water bowl outside.

For your home visits, I would respect your space and rules as well as accommodate all your needs and request a n your home.
About: I’ve been surrounded by dogs my entire life and have been a proud dog owner for the past six years with my own pup, Gemma. Caring for dogs has always been a part of my daily life, and I understand that every pet has their own unique personality, routine, and needs. As a full-time Crime Scene Investigator, I’m responsible, dependable, and detail-oriented; qualities that are just as important when caring for someone’s beloved pet. Whether it’s sticking to a feeding schedule, going on walks, providing playtime, or simply giving extra love and attention, I’ll care for your pet the way I care for my own. I know how nerve-wracking it can be to leave your pet with someone else, so I make communication a priority. You can expect regular updates, photos, and the peace of mind that your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. I can’t wait to meet you and your furry family members! My schedule can vary so if there is a date you need that shows unavailable on my calendar please reach out as I may be able to accommodate you! As a full-time Crime Scene Investigator, my schedule varies, which allows me flexibility throughout the month for pet care. I offer drop-in visits and dog walks on my days off and around my work schedule. I keep my Rover calendar up to date and will always communicate clearly about my availability. When I’m caring for your pet, they will receive my full attention, plenty of love, and reliable care. My schedule can vary with my full time employment so if there is a date that shows unavailable that you need please reach out to me as I may be able to accommodate you! Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I will carefully follow your pet’s routine, including feeding schedules, walks, medications (if needed), and any special instructions. I understand that every pet is unique, so I take the time to earn their trust and make them feel comfortable in their own environment. I’ll also provide regular updates and photos, so you can relax knowing your pet is happy and well cared for while you’re away.
“Asja was absolutely wonderful! She sent pics/videos and updates throughout our very long trip (almost a week!) and I knew my cat was in great hands. I honestly could not have felt any more comfortable than I did. Not only was she professional but we felt she also was very caring and kind in general. Thank you so much Asja. We will definitely be rebooking.”
About: I've owned animals my whole life, both cats and dogs. I love them like my own children. I have some experience with giving medication to dogs I'm typically available all day. I do not work from home due to carpeting and my pets but taking care of them in your space for hours or a few days is absolutely fine, I am flexible and can work with any schedule. I will not be doing home stays at my house due to my pets and respecting my roommates space. I always keep the space I am sitting in clean and free of non pet friendly items. Safety and comfort for furry friends is the most important.
About: I'm a longtime pet owner with a large German Shepherd and two cats — a long-haired cat and a Bengal — so I'm comfortable with big, energetic dogs and independent, particular cats alike. I'm patient, attentive to each pet's individual needs, and treat every animal in my care like my own. My schedule is flexible, and pet care fits easily into my daily routine. I just ask for advance notice so I can plan ahead and make sure I'm fully available and attentive for the time we've arranged, whether it's a quick walk or an extended cat-sitting visit. Since I offer dog walking and cat sitting, all care takes place in your home or neighborhood rather than mine. I treat your space with the same care and respect as my own — securing doors and gates, following your pet's routine closely, and leaving everything exactly as I found it. I'm attentive to safety on walks and comfortable following any specific instructions you provide.
About: I’ve worked in dog daycares and boarding facilities building my knowledge and skills i already had prior to them! I am now a professional groomer and have seen a lot. I have experience providing medications, dealing with high energy breeds, and special needs as well. I have also worked with training for dogs, although this is not professionally. I have my own dogs as well, so they’re apart of my daily life outside of work as well! I love building relationships with pets and the pet parents. I do work full time, and my schedule is not set at this moment. I have every Thursday off however. I would love to fit whatever I can into my schedule to help out! Boarding in my home is not an option i have available at this moment, but id be more than happy to sit in pet parents home when im available. I follow instructions very well, and can problem solve. Routine is also something i’m big about, so i’ll make sure your babies stay on theirs!
About: Hi! I’m Nicole! I’ve always wanted to have a career that helped doggies! In my free time, I love spending quality time with my two furbabies Sophie and Chanel at the dog park, dog bar and the dog beach too. I am ok with meeting your dog first before any walk if you feel your dog needs to be introduced to feel more comfortable. I grew up with German shepards and loved being around them. I am based in New Tampa/Wesley Chapel area. If you have any questions, let me know!
About: I've had the privilege of handling and caring for different cats and dogs of various ages and temperaments. I have cared for feral cats, stray dogs, shelter surrenders, rescues, fosters, family and friend's pets. Over the years I've gained experience with the guidance of veterinary professionals, volunteers, and animal enthusiasts! As young as 11 years old I began to understand and hone in on my ability to empathically and responsibly care for other living animals. Now 24, I'm continuing to expand my knowledge and skills in the animal care world to give the best nurturing and love to all of the furbabies I can! I can enrich, play, feed + water and walk +/or hangout with your canine/feline pal(s) at the times avaliable in my schedule and remain open/flexible within those time frames Monday to Friday. I assist the animals I am care for by ensuring they are fed, watered, medicated, and engaged with at appropriate/scheduled times. They will have plenty of engagement with play, walks, cuddles/pets, treats/rewards, and/or simply relaxing around them (depending on the individual). I love being in nature and being able to take any animal able to outdoors with me (within the confines of their mobility and indepedent circumstances)(supervised of course). As for cats, if there is a catio area or the ability to go outside then I will take them out so they may enjoy that! I can provide safe and comfortable enrichment through games, toys, and puzzles you have to keep your pets feeling great during our time together.

About: My last pet was a blue nose pit, his name was Apollo. We got him when he was only 8 weeks old. I trained him and loved him dearly. He was such a big part of our family, He was a beautifulI soul! As he got older, even though it was hard to see his aging, I was grateful to be part of the process and be able to help him when times were rough. He left me with a void and a lot of love to give. I’m not quite ready for my own yet, but I would love to share my love and time with your fur baby. I have a pretty flexible schedule I work from home. My hours are 8 to 5. I take frequent breaks and I go on walks frequently. I’m a workout nut so I love to get outside and enjoy the day. I try to make sure that schedules are followed as well as incorporating activities when time permits I feel it’s very important for exercise. I always try to make sure that my visitors are comfortable and happy
“I can't say enough great things about Kyle as a sitter! From the moment I met him, I could tell he has a genuine love for animals. He really took the time to get to know my cat Ryuu and I felt completely confident leaving her in his care. During my time away, Kyle sent tons of photos and videos, which really put my mind at ease and showed me how good of a time my Ryuu was having with him and Jax. He even went above and beyond when it came to being accommodating about changes to travel plans and extending Ryuu’s stay. I highly recommend Kyle to anyone looking for a responsible, caring, and reliable pet sitter. He truly loves what he does, and it shows in every interaction. 5 stars all the way (If i could give him 6 stars I would 😂)”
About: I’ve grown up around dogs and have always been the go-to sitter for friends and family. I also volunteer with Furry Friends Pet Rescue, where I’m approved to walk and care for dogs of all sizes and temperaments. In addition, I’ve volunteered at the Humane Society, gaining hands-on experience with dogs that require extra patience and care. Whether it’s playing, feeding, walking, or just keeping dogs company while their people are away, I bring experience, empathy, and genuine love to every pup I meet. I’m a student at USF with a flexible schedule and plenty of time to care for pets. I’m available most afternoons after class and all day on weekends for walks or drop-ins. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I genuinely love spending time with animals. I provide care in your home where your dog feels most comfortable. Whether it’s walks, feedings, or playtime, I make sure your dog feels safe and loved while you’re away. I always follow care instructions carefully and treat every home with the respect and professionalism it deserves.
About: I'm the guy who gets called when you get called in but haven't taken poor pookie out for a walk, the one who's there as you're planning your weekend get away, cats, dogs, birds of all sizes and personalities. Call me a day ahead for any inquiries to discuss distance and needs and I'll work on the time that they need for the best pet support. Communication is key and quite frankly unavoidable, I like to let the pet themself feel me out. You can pay me to come but only your pet can want to keep me around.

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Richland is $17 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $31 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 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 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 Meet & Greet.

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 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.
