“Weiyue and her partner were absolutely amazing cat sitters! Tom was clearly well-loved and cared for while we were away on our trip. It was so reassuring knowing he was in such capable hands. They sent us the photos and updates about Tom every visit. We would highly recommend their services to anyone looking for a reliable and loving cat sitter.”
“Bobbi was so wonderful from the very first meeting. She was on time every day and took such loving care of our two dogs. We didn’t have to worry about anything. She washed the dishes, gave them freshwater and loved on them so that they probably forgot we were gone. Highly recommend her. !!!!”
“Erin was wonderful! She was very open and communicative coming up to the visit, taking the time to ask thoughtful questions and asking additional details about Howard. She arrived on time, provided thorough check-ins on the app, and sent me pictures as well letting me know he was happy and healthy.”
“Kitty was in good hands. She was her usual pur monster self when we got back. She was glad to see us and very playful. A testimony to being well cared for. Will certainly book Sabrina again if she's available.”
“I am very grateful for the care, love, and attention that Jillian gave to my two cats. She also sent me daily pictures while I was away, which brought me so much happiness and peace of mind. When I returned home, it was clear how well they had been cared for. Jillian is sweet, professional, reliable, and truly loves animals. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy to care for their furry babies. Thank you Jillian!”
“This was my first time using Rover and leaving our two kiddos at home. Both our dog and cat are high stress in the car so I wanted to find a way to allow them to stay home when we are away. I think Mckalynn is the best person to use this app. She sent us a detailed card each time she saw our kiddos. She also included pictures of each fur baby. We will be using Rover and Mckalynn again the next time we are out of town! This was just a simple and easy experience. She gave us so much piece in mind and kept things tidy for us. If you are really nervous about using a sitter and Rover don't be… Mckalynn will love your kiddos like her own. She is absolutely heaven sent!!!!”

About: Hello There, I'm Nicole! A lifelong animal lover & experienced pet sitter with over 8+ years of experience! From snuggly cats to even playful pups and even tiny critters, I’ve had the joy of caring for animals of all sizes and personalities 🤍 Beyond Pet sitting, I've volunteered at multiple Animal Shelters throughout High School and i even worked at a local Pet Hotel in the past. Giving me a lot of knowledge and experience in animal caring. My house is a full on animal haven, and I absolutely love it! I grew up around pets of all kinds! (ducks, bunnies, birds, fish, reptiles, and of course, cats & dogs) creating a calm, safe, and loving environment comes very naturally to me! (: I'm also very well versed in handling strong pullers and pets with behavioral quirks. I make sure every dog that stays with me or that im sitting has a safe and fun loving time and always entertain! I currently work part-time from home, which gives me a flexible schedule to give your pet the attention they deserve. Whether it’s dog walking, boarding, drop-ins, or cat sitting, I’m committed to treating every furry friend as if they were my own! (: When I care for pets, whether in my home or my client's home, my priority is always their safety, comfort, and happiness! 🐾 **I provide regular updates with photos, detailed messages, and lots of love so you can always have peace of mind while you’re away **
“Jenna is great! She cares about your animals and will follow any instructions you leave and is sure to check in with you. Also she takes great pictures of your pet for you. Will be rebooking!”
About: I’ve cared for dogs and other pets for over 25 years and especially love caring for senior dogs who need extra patience, comfort, and attention. I have experience with dogs, cats, birds, fish, tortoises, guinea pigs, and other small pets, and I treat every animal with dependable, loving care while you’re away. Pet care is a way of life for my family. As a stay-at-home mom with five kids in school during the day, I have the time and flexibility to give your pets plenty of loving, attentive care.

About: FREE extra pets for sitting! Hi, I’m Andrew. I’m a US Army Veteran of the Iraq War, 2014 Texas A&M graduate, currently enrolled in an online graduate program through Texas Tech for Clinical Rehab Counseling. My goal is to work with other Veterans when I graduate. I walk multiple Rover doggos every morning and evening, and even weekends. I pride myself on being punctual, having good communication with my clients, and making bonds with the dogs I walk. Book me to add your loves to my schedule. I am a long-time dog owner, currently two huskies who I consider part of my family. I walk them every day, and they let me know when it’s time. Spoiled with love, toys, more love, treats, even more love, good food, a little more love and scratches of course. Since joining Rover, I’ve gained a wealth of experience handling dogs of different ages and needs, and clients with different expectations and levels of instruction. I’ve sat for disabled dogs, older dogs, young and hyper dogs. I’ve sat for and walked dogs in apartments, gated communities, even a senior living facility. And I’m ready to go above and beyond. I helped a client who had surgery by taking their dog to the vet. If I can do it, I will help. I have a big heart for pets. They love us unconditionally after all. They deserve it. Please note: I do not sit for or walk aggressive dogs or breeds known for dangerous behavior. I, as a provider, am open to legal liability if there’s ever any incidents. It’s simply not worth the risk, and though I am insured, I cannot afford the liability those types of incidents would require. I hope you understand, this is a business decision, not a judgment. Also please note I am not a dog trainer. My dogs are spoiled! If you are looking for someone to walk your dog like all those trainer videos, that’s not me. I want dogs to have fun on their walks, not feel like they just get what they can get out of them. I let them sniff around, look at ducks or squirrels, mark, all while maintaining safe boundaries for your pet and other pedestrians and pets. And none of this means I will not reinforce training expectations you have already instilled in your pet, simply let me know what those are. Feel free to reach out if you’d like to get to know me better. We can have a video chat. As to my schedule, I am currently in an online graduate program, so I have a flexible availability. Please reach out to me about my current walking schedule for regular clients as to what times I have available and what may be best for you. For some reason, this app allows people to book requests during times I am already booked, so that is one thing we’d have to discuss. What can you expect from me? Lots of love, cuddles, scratches, treats, playtime. Your pets will have my full attention. I know I charge a little more than others, but that’s because you’re paying for the best. Someone who is reliable, trustworthy with your home and pets, and who meets and exceeds your expectations and instructions. I once hired a sitter who didn’t realize I had a camera in my den. She spent 95% of the time I paid for to give my dogs some attention on her phone. She even swatted away my dogs when they approached! Then snapped some pics, fed them and left. I NEVER want my clients to feel that way. I will treat your pets the way I would hope people would treat my own.
About: Pets have been a cherished part of my life for as long as I can remember. From a young age, I've always considered them true family members. The love they give to you, and being such loyal companions who deserve the same care, respect, and devotion we give to our own children. Throughout the years, I've taken full responsibility for their well-being, from feeding them on schedule, ensuring they get plenty of exercise and outdoor time, providing comfort when needed, and always prioritizing their happiness and health. I would and have gone to great lengths to ensure their safety and joy, treating them with the unconditional love they so freely give in return. I recently left my full-time job to pursue my families dream of owning and operating our own business, which we have now actually started together. With this significant life transition, I am seeking a flexible side opportunity that can generate additional income while aligning with helping those in need, all while getting to work with animals, especially dogs! When I discovered this app, it felt like the ideal combination, connecting with pet owners who require assistance with dog walking, playtime, check-ins, or basic care. It perfectly merges meaningful work, while providing companionship and support to animals. This opportunity fits perfectly with my values and allows me to make a positive difference in the lives of both pets and their owners. I am excited about the potential and eager to get started! Treating them with the care and respect they deserve, all while giving them the attention they want! I love being with them as much as they love being with us!
About: I've had dogs since I was 8 years old. I've always had a big heart, so I took the role of main caregiver for my pups and my kitty; I walked, fed, and cleaned them which continued into my adulthood as I've been a committed carer for friends' dogs. For a short time (4 months), I moved to Mexico and was a live-in dog carer for two puppies: a Yorkie and Bichon Frise! I also became dual carer for my partner's three dogs of varying ages and we rescued and raised a beautify cat together. I also know what it means to lose your beloved pal as I've had experience with caring for aging doggies and sitting with them as they passed over the doggy rainbow. I currently work full-time with special needs kids from 8-5 daily. I'm available for drop-ins after work, overnight stays and I have full weekend availability! I am available for walks and stays at your home. My care for your home will reflect the deep care I have for your pet. I would love know what you freel comfortable with in your home and integrate your needs as I make sure your pet(s) are well cared for!
“Sabra was wonderful with our kids. Our shitzu-terrier was unsure at first, but quickly came around and trained Sabra to give her treats. Sabra sent pictures every time she was with them. She did very well with our 15 year old Bichon. Would highly recommend and will be using her again.”

Mona is amazing with my Shih Tzu and Torty cat. She is always punctual, does a great job with giving them lots of love and attention. She responds and communicates very well and is a super caring very professional sitter. She goes above and beyond and even took care of my plants and made sure I came home to a happy home after a long trip .
Bobbi is absolutely amazing! Our cat is usually very shy around new people, but she warmed up to Bobbi almost immediately, which says so much. Bobbi kept us updated throughout our trip with thoughtful messages, daily photos, and videos, giving us complete peace of mind while we were away. It was clear our cat was in loving, capable hands. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and will absolutely be booking Bobbi again the next time we travel. Highly recommend!
First time having Nicole look after our two cats. This was the first time having anyone look after our newest addition Shadow. Shadow instantly warmed up to Nicole and Nicole took great care of both of our cats and kept us well updated after each of her visits. Will definitely use Nicole again in the future.
Tara was wonderful with Peaches. She spent extra time with her and Peaches was relaxed, well cared for and happy when I returned. Communication was good and the pictures were great. The house was in good condition and the areas around the cat dishes and litterbox had obviously been kept clean.
Weiyue and her partner were absolutely amazing cat sitters! Tom was clearly well-loved and cared for while we were away on our trip. It was so reassuring knowing he was in such capable hands. They sent us the photos and updates about Tom every visit. We would highly recommend their services to anyone looking for a reliable and loving cat sitter.

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 short introductory meeting between you, your cat, 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Richmond. On Rover:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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 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.
