Raelee was amazing with my puppy, Wrigley. She was on time, dedicated time to helping with inconveniences, and was very communicative! I will recommend her a million times over and over, she’s the best!

Ashley was very communicative and sent lots of pictures. Our Dixie really enjoyed spending time with her. I felt at ease knowing Dixie was in such good hands.

About: I’ve had pets for majority of my life and they’ve always been my responsibility, I’ve had a variety of pets and currently have my own dog, an English pointer and am hoping to expand the pet family with guinea pigs. I have a high maintenance dog myself and know the time and effort it takes to care for your pets. I would love to be an additional asset In providing your pet with quality care I am working part-time as a caregiver and have plenty of free time on my hands when I’m not working my 2 days a week. I do tend to work additional shifts on the same days, every Monday and some Tuesday’s. I will additionally buddy some days along for the ride, my 14 month son in an effort to enjoy the outdoors more while providing a needed service to those who want an extra hand. I will provide doggy bags and clean up after your pet as well

The cats were well cared for and we loved the pictures she sent. One cat is very timid but he warmed up to Olivia quickly. You can count on her.

About: Hi! My name is Ella, and I’m a college student with experience caring for both children and animals. I currently work as a nanny. So I’m very used to being responsible, dependable, and attentive. I’ve grown up around animals my whole life and have experience helping care for dogs and cats through pet sitting, dog walking, feeding, playtime, and check-ins. I also have cats of my own and genuinely love spending time with animals. I have a ragdoll cat named sugar and she is my everything. I will make sure to treat your pet as if they were my sugar, I know how important pets are. I’ll always make sure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away 😊 I currently work part-time as a nanny, so I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to give pets attention and care throughout the day. I’m available for dog walking, drop-in visits, and pet sitting during weekdays and weekends. I’m reliable, responsive, and happy to work with different routines and schedules to make sure your pets are comfortable and well cared for!

About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was 16 and have experience with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. I currently own two Cane Corsos and grew up with pit bulls, so I’m very comfortable with strong, large, and high-energy breeds as well as smaller companions. I understand how important routine, consistency, and trust are for dogs while their owners are away. I make it a priority to follow your pet’s schedule closely and ensure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for in your absence. I’m also happy to provide regular photo updates so you can feel connected and reassured while you’re away. I currently work part time, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to provide reliable drop-in visits for your pup. I’m happy to work around your needs to ensure your dog receives consistent, attentive care. When caring for pets in their owner’s home, I focus on maintaining their normal routine as closely as possible so they feel comfortable and secure while you’re away. I follow all feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and any specific instructions you provide to ensure consistency and stability. I always make sure fresh water is available, their space is clean, and they’re getting the attention, exercise, and companionship they need. I’m comfortable administering medications if required and pay close attention to their behavior and overall well-being during each visit. I treat both your pet and your home with the same level of care and respect I would expect for my own. I’ll also send photo updates and messages so you can feel reassured and connected while you’re away

About: My first pet sitting job was of 2 Boston Terriers at 9, since then I’ve cared for dogs, cats, horses, ducks, chickens, donkey, etc! I have been called a horse whisperer and my special talent in life is that I can get any introverted, sad, scared, animal to come out of it’s shell and feel at ease. I have taken care of farm animals in Nova Scotia, I’ve dog sat in Sweden, I’ve taken care of animals in CA, and I just love animals in general. I am extremely flexible, I work from home and have a sweet dog of my own who is playful and gentle with other animals. I, my husband or even our family as a whole take care of our animals first thing in the morning and at night, and I take time throughout the day to give them love and attention. I am home most of the time, I have lots of space to take your dog out to play (set up like a park but not fenced in, I can take them on a leash as needed) I have a kennel if you need or can set up yours. If you have a cat, my dog is used to them, though she does have an energetic greeting but we can separate them. I’m also happy to come visit your darlings at their home and make them feel comforted and ease. I’m one of those crazy animal ladies who likes to talk to animals, so I’ll soothe them and let them know you’ll be home soon!

About: I will ensure your pet is safe at all times. I have 3 dogs myself and they are all different sizes. I play with them, walk them, they get fresh food and water twice daily. I make sure in this heat that they stay cool. They are never locked outside or tied up. My smallest little girl always sleeps with me. I've never hurt an animal. I've passefmy love for pets onto my kids. One daughter is studying to be a vet. I'll treat yours as my own. I do anything asked of me. If they need meds or baths I can do that as well. Nail trimming I can do if they aren't scared of the clippers. My baby girl is but I still do it.

About: As an insurance agent I look forward to my afternoon walks. So why not enjoy them a lot more with your furry family member. I have always had a dog and have two now. I enjoy walking, running and playing with them just like I will enjoy playing and walking your dog or dogs. I'm adult, responsible, love dogs and am even an Eagle Scout :) I have a life time of experience with dogs and always seem to be their favorite at friends houses and parties. I look forward to sharing my day with your dog :) Whether I'm just dropping by to let them out or exploring the neighborhood on a nice walk in good or bad weather. I look forward to making both your dogs and yours acquaintance. I have a super flexible schedule so I can make meeting and playing with your dog a priority. I work all over the city and am able to get to all parts of town. When taking care of your pet I will be fully engaged with them. I don't just let them out the door. I play, pet and make sure your dog is happy and having fun.

We booked Erika for drop in visits while we were out of town for 10 days and could not have been more pleased. She stayed in touch by sending messages and pictures and I was able to enjoy our trip more knowing she was there taking care of things. She went above and beyond by getting our very shy dog Sherpa to become her friend. I highly recommend her to anyone wanting peace of mind while they are away.

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Richmond

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Richmond on Rover is $41.07 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting 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 Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of July 2026, there are 676 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Richmond. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Richmond stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.

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.

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

  • 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 100% 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 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.

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.
