“Amazing job! So highly recommended! My cats were so happy and my place even looks better! What an amazing job I can’t speak highly enough! Thank you from my cat family and me!”
About: Your pet’s new best friend and spoiler when you’re not around. With a degree in Animal Science and over 30 years of experience in everything from paws to claws (and even scales and feathers!), I’ve worked as a veterinary technician, an animal behaviorist (yes, I speak fluent dog AND cat), and I’ve even run my own pet care company for years providing daily walks, home visits and even house sitting. Whether your dog thinks they’re a couch potato or your cat is a secret ninja, I’m here to make sure they’re pampered, safe, and entertained. From horses to hedgehogs, I’ve got you covered – and their best interests are always my top priority. Your pets will be in the hands of an experienced professional who’s equally passionate about their care and keeping them spoiled while you're away. Looking forward to meeting your fur, feathered, or scaly family members soon! Feel free to reach out with any questions or to book a complimentary meet & greet session. I am currently working as a full-time teacher, but am very accommodating and flexible to stay overnight, do morning and afternoon visits to see your pets are safe and happy. On the weekends I can be there around the clock, but during the week I am away for work. Unfortunately, I don't offer sitting in my home. Landlord's rules, not mine. But I am happy to take care of your pets in their own environment by staying at yours, which research shows is less stressful and traumatic for your pet.
About: I have spent my entire life growing up with numerous and varied pets, which has given me experience with different animals and their needs. I would love to care for your pet—any breed, size, or personality! My schedule is very flexible, and I would love to discuss scheduling a time that works for you! Please reach out, so we can discuss your needs. I will clarify with you if there are any specific needs or routines that would be followed for your pet. Typically, I would enter and greet your pet (whether with pets or from afar), feed them per instructions, and give them fresh water. For dogs, we will head outside for a walk or exercise in the backyard, and for cats, I would clean their litter box and then play or relax with them. Whether it is a drop-in, overnight stay, or walk, I will make sure your doors and gates are locked!
“Nicole was very responsive and communicative with questions. She treated my pup with care and made sure he was one happy boy. Thank you, Nicole, I will definitely request you again!”
“Sarah did an amazing job watching our cat Ghost. She fed him, gave him meds, changed his litter, and changed his water twice a day. Also, gave plenty of pets and some brushing. We were also given updates on his eating and litter box habits and got plenty of photos. His area was nice and clean and he was a happy boy when we got home. Would 100% recommend!”
“Peter took wonderful, attentive care of my two Cats, dropping in for an hour each day to play, pet, groom, tidy-up, and keep them company while I was away. Peter is comfortable, friendly, funny, and made my first Rover experience incredibly easy & pleasant! He also listened carefully to my priorities and preferences and sent detailed communications daily. An all-around great guy that I'd trust with any animal and recommend to any friend and neighbor!”
About: Your pet deserves someone who will care for them with the same patience, attention, and kindness you do. I'm dependable, detail-oriented, and committed to making every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. Whether your dog needs an energetic walk, a relaxing drop-in visit, or all-day companionship, I'll follow your pet's routine closely, including feeding schedules, medications, exercise, and any special instructions. I understand that every pet has a unique personality, and I take time to earn their trust while keeping you updated with photos and messages. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your furry family member is receiving attentive, reliable care I look forward to meeting you and your pet!
About: Let’s be real: your dog deserves a break that’s actually fun! I’m here to make sure they get exactly that. I work at a veterinary hospital so I’m the person who naturally notices the "little things," but when I’m walking your pup, it’s all about the good stuff—fresh air, tail wags, and a serious amount of attention!!! I’ll keep you in the loop with plenty of cute photo updates so you don’t feel like you’re missing out. This isn't just a job for me; I converse, love and care for each dog or cat as my own. I work night shift at a veterinary hospital which gives me a flexible schedule for morning, afternoon and evening feeds, walks and weekend adventures! Whether your pup needs a quick potty break or a stroll to burn off energy, I’m here to make sure they get exactly what they need while you’re busy. Getting out with your dog is the best part of my day! Since I work in a veterinary environment, safety is second nature to me. I’m the person who double-checks the leash, keeps a sharp eye on surroundings, and makes sure the water bowl is always fresh. I treat your home with respect and your pet like they’re my own. Expect plenty of cute photo updates so you can see exactly how much fun we're having!
About: Hi there! I’ve been surrounded by animals my whole life. I've owned cats, dogs, and more! I know how important it is to know your pets are in trustworthy hands. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priority! :) I’m currently doing an apprenticeship on a part time basis, so my schedule is quite flexible, especially this summer! I can drop by when needed as long as I have notice. I can tailor care to your pets needs! Have a dog that needs to let out some energy? Let me play fetch with them! Or maybe a cat who just needs some company? I’ll chill with them and refill their food. Just say what you need and I got you.
About: I’ve loved animals my whole life and have a lot of hands-on experience caring for pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities!! At home I’ve got a sweet tabby cat, a very energetic 90 lb Labrador, and two small but loud and cuddly Chiweenies🤣🤣so I’m used to everything from high energy dogs to relaxed cats, and both big and small breeds. I’m patient, attentive, and really treat every pet like they’re my own. I genuinely love being around animals and caring for them is something I take seriously and enjoy a lot. I also have experience with special needs pets and am comfortable administering medication if needed. Whether your pet needs extra playtime, gentle senior care, help staying on a routine, or just a reliable and loving presence, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for.👍🥰 I just graduated college and I’m really looking forward to taking things a little slower right now. Pet care is something I genuinely enjoy, so it fits perfectly into my life right now. I’d love the chance to spend my time taking care of and keeping company with your pets while you’re away. I currently work part-time, which leaves me with a lot of flexibility and open availability. I’m available for overnight pet sitting, dog walking, and drop-in visits. I’m also happy to house sit and help with small things like taking out the trash, bringing in mail, and keeping things tidy while you’re gone. I’m reliable, calm, and easygoing, and I really do enjoy being around animals, it doesn’t feel like a job to me so much as something I like to do:) I am very cautious, patient, and detail-oriented when caring for pets. I always follow your instructions closely, keep routines consistent, and make sure your pet feels safe and comfortable. I treat every home with respect, keep doors secured, monitor pets carefully, and do my best to provide a clean, calm environment where they can relax and feel completely at ease.
About: I began volunteering at my local shelter when I was 11, eventually becoming an employee and working there all the way through college. I also worked at several barns and vet clinics, so I have extensive experience with just about every creature there is. While I’ve never had professional training, I’ve assisted and administered all types of medication, performed basic first aid and provided sub q fluids, so if your pet needs a bit more care, I may be able to help! I’ve been though kidney disease and cancer with my own crew, so I know how important it is to ensure your pet receives the care and attention they deserve. I’m currently establishing my own pet memorial business so I work from home and have a flexible schedule to accommodate whatever works best for you and your pet(s)! I’m happy to travel to you and provide any walks, attention or care your pet may need. At my own home I have a large yard and live on a private street so I can easily accommodate leashed outdoor time.
About: I have worked at a dog kennel for the past 3 years and absolutely love caring for animals! I recently graduated with a degree in Animal Science, and working with and learning about animals has always been a passion of mine. I have experience caring for and walking dogs of all different sizes, personalities, and needs. I would love the opportunity to provide your pets with the same love and care I give my own! I'm currently working part time at a dog kennel, so i'm available most weekdays and some weekends for your pet's needs! Due to varying shifts, my general availability is between 12-3 and 7-11. I will always prioritize your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness. I will be attentive, responsible, and careful to follow each of your pet’s routine and their instructions. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Richlandtown
Megan was great with my 4 kitties. This was the 2nd time I selected her and I would highly recommend her. She is very kind hearted and took some extra comfort measures with my little old guy, "Pudding" especially. I loved getting pictures of them while I was away. Thanks so much, Megan!
I reached out to Rebecca shortly after scheduling the appointment to put my cat down. We were looking for someone last minute to check in on her while we were at work for the week. She very quickly responded, was so sweet and sympathetic over the situation and 1 hour later was at my house to do a meet and greet. My partner and I immediately felt more at ease. Rebecca came to check in on Sookie everyday around the same time- sent pictures, videos, and notes of the visits. She’s one of those people that you can just trust with ease. Highly recommend!

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Richlandtown is $16 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $16 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.

- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
