About: I currently have 3 rescued cats and 2 rescued dogs. I grew up in a neighborhood where everyone had animals and one even had farm animals. I never really got to help with the farm animals but when neighbors went on vacation I would care for their cats, dogs, guinea pigs, bunnies, and even hedgehogs. I cared for animals of all ages! I currently do spark which is Walmart deliveries and am looking for something part time! I can do daily or weekly as needed. I can work with your schedule as needed but am unavailable till after 8:45am on the weekdays. I have cared for several peoples animals. I have experience playing with dogs and cats. I also have experience getting animals into a crate if needed.
“Absolutely amazing experience with Jacob! 🌟 He was reliable, communicative, and genuinely cared for my pet like they were his own. I had total peace of mind knowing everything was handled with so much attention and kindness. I would 100% trust Jacob again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for top-notch care. Thanks again, Jacob! 🐾💛”


About: I've cared for dogs and other pets for many years, including feeding, walking, grooming, cleaning, and providing enrichment. I have hands-on experience with dogs, personalities, and needs, and I'm trained in dog body language, learning theory, basic manners, introductions, advanced skills, and unwanted behaviors. Through volunteering at Paws of War ENC, P.A.W.S. Animal Shelter, Adoption First Animal Rescue, and caring for pets for friends, family, and others, I've developed a patient, compassionate approach to animal care. I'm dependable, attentive, and committed to keeping every pet safe, comfortable, and happy while in my care. I'm available Friday, Sat, Sun, Mon & Tues (each day after 2 pm) to give your pets devoted time. I am available from 6 am to 10 pm on Wednesdays. Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I have experience with pet sitting and dog training, and I understand the importance of maintaining routines, reinforcing positive behavior, and providing patient compassionate care. Whether caring for your pet at your home or during walks and visits, I'll follow your instructions closely, provide plenty of exercise, playtime, mental stimulation, and affection, and ensure your pet feels safe, secure, and well cared for. I can also administer medications, accommodate special care needs, and crate your dog if you request it.

“Chloe was so beyond amazing with our sweet pup. We absolutely loved that she offered to meet him/us prior to the visit to make sure it was a good fit! She was extremely communicative throughout the process and visits, sending us many photos of him enjoying their visit/playing/outdoors! She also gave us updates on his health status, as he’d been dealing with some minor issues the week before. We truly can’t recommend her enough! It was a wonderful first experience booking through Rover and we will surely book with her again soon. Thank you, Chloe!”

“Kacie did amazing job with my cat and my fishes. I am so grateful for what she had did for me and if you need someone to watch your furry babies Kacie is the one for the job!!!!!”

“Sarah was great with our two kitties and was able to accommodate us on very short notice. She was professional and went above and beyond to make sure they were well taken care of while we were away.”

About: I’ve always loved animals. I’ve taken care of my neighbors pets whenever they would go on vacation. I’m loving a caring. I will take care of them as if they were my one. I’m currently working part-time so pet sitting fits perfectly in my schedule! I also enjoy going out on walks so your pet would be the perfect company! I adapt to whatever you need. I prefer taking care of your pets at your home! That way your pet will feel comfortable an at home!
About: I love all dogs and cats of any age, and love taking care of them. I have grown up with multiple dogs and cats throughout my whole life, so I know that every single one of our fur-babies is unique and requires their own personalized care. I have great experience with disabled dogs as mine was diabetic and received two insulin shots a day for over five years. He also had a hip surgery and required extra care and love. Whether you have puppies or older dogs, I've taken care of both so I am well equipped. I am currently not working so my schedule is as flexible as you need it! I am home every day and can provide the upmost love and attention. I will be here for the holidays as well this year. I am available for at home care and my home sitting, I will make sure your fur babies are well exercised by taking your pets out for activities and keeping them entertained. I live in a nice neighborhood with a huge dog park that has enrichment/agility obstacles in it, just a short 5 minute walk from me. My dog loves it!
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of all kinds, and sizes since I was 15. Whether it be weeklong stays or drop by visits for friends. I am a full-time teacher and full-time pet lover! I am available Monday through Friday for afternoon walks after 4 o’clock and all day during the weekend. If you have a fenced in yard, I will make sure your fur baby gets all the outside play time they need during a visit and take a nice long walk for those that don’t have one.
About: Growing up, I’ve always had a passion for animals and have always had pets of my own. I started pet sitting around age 9, caring for my neighbor’s three dogs while she traveled for work. I helped with feeding, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and making sure they received plenty of love and attention while she was away. My love for animals has only grown over the years. I understand how important it is to have someone you can trust with your pets, because they truly are part of the family. I’m attentive to each pet’s individual personality, routine, and needs, and I want them to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while in my care. TLC goes a long way! I currently have my own French Bulldog, Toast, so I know firsthand how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else’s hands. Whether your pet loves walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply having someone nearby, I’m happy to make their stay or visit feel as close to home as possible. I look forward to meeting you and your pets 🥰 I was definitely born to pet all the dogs and cats! I’m currently a college student taking online classes, which gives me a flexible schedule for boarding, house sitting, drop-ins, and walks. I recently moved to Jacksonville, NC and am currently searching for a full-time job. In the meantime, what better way to earn some extra money than doing something I genuinely love; caring for animals! I’m home often and have plenty of time for walks, playtime, feeding, cuddles, and lots of love and attention. 🐾 Your pet’s safety and comfort are very important to me. I have a backyard for supervised playtime and a spacious neighborhood that’s great for walks. If your dog uses a crate at home, feel free to bring it and I’ll happily set it up so they can maintain their normal routine. I also encourage you to bring their favorite blanket, bed, toy, or anything with familiar smells from home so they have a cozy, familiar space where they can feel safe and comfortable. I’ll follow any specific instructions you provide and give your pet plenty of love and attention while they’re in my care.
“Hannah is absolutely wonderful! She is such a kind, caring, and dependable dog sitter, and I honestly couldn’t ask for anyone better to take care of my pups. Her communication is amazing, and she always keeps me updated, which gives me so much peace of mind while I’m away. She is incredibly attentive to the dogs and really takes the time to make sure they’re comfortable, happy, and well cared for. She’s also so easy-going and flexible, which I appreciate more than I can say. Plans change, things come up, and Hannah is always so understanding and willing to adapt without ever making you feel like you’re a burden. Most importantly, I can tell that she genuinely loves animals and treats my dogs like they’re her own. I never have to worry when they’re with her, and that is priceless. I would recommend Hannah to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, responsible, and just genuinely wonderful to have taking care of their pets. ❤️”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Richlands is $19 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $11 and $28 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 November 2026, there are 623 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Richlands. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.

- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
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.
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.
