“Christina is amazing! We have a super anxious chihuahua mix and a blind senior dog with tummy issues. We typically board them when we travel. Neither of them have ever been left at home alone more than a day. Christina watched them for 3 days and kept us informed of their activities the entire time. She was patient and kind and won our two pups over in no time. They were calm and relaxed when we got home. They clearly were comfortable with Christina. She took such great and attentive care with them. She is such a blessing. I enthusiastically recommend Christina!”

About: I've had dogs most of my life so caring for them comes naturally. Keeping up with their energy and excitement is my favorite part, they love to love and so do I!! I'm currently trying to move out of state and moving to a new job, so I have literally all day every day to come take care of your babies!! I'm looking to burn energy and help others while saving up to move! Taking care of your pets in the most comfortable way possible for them and for you is my top priority. I will always ask questions before guessing to ensure things are done in the most desirable and safe manner for you and for your baby!

About: Hi!! I’m new here and would love to get to know your dogs, take them on walks and get them some exercise and interaction :) I am a stay at home mom and have 1 fur baby myself. I’ve had all types of dogs growing up as a kid. I’ve had my schnauzer mut, Wendi, since she was 2 weeks old, started off with bottle feeding her and she’s been spoiled ever since! I often keep my brothers 3 dogs, one is an Australian shepherd/golden retriever, one is a mut and the other is a mini Australian shepherd. My family has always loved dogs and the joy they bring! I’d love to get to know your animals and help your family out. I am currently a stay at home to 4 kids. 3 of my kids are in school so I will have my youngest with me in the stroller as long as other dogs are comfortable being around kids as she remains buckled in the stroller :) I have 1 dog, Wendi, and have had her since she was 2 weeks old. I bottle fed her for 2 weeks since her mom got ran over. She loves to go on walks, play fetch outside and go to the park with all of her human siblings!

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: Hi! I’m Lindsey! I’ve loved and cared for dogs for most of my life. Growing up on 20 acres, I was surrounded by animals and learned early that pets are family. Today I’m the proud dog mom of a German Shepherd and a Basenji, so I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes, personalities, and energy levels. When you trust me with your pet, I treat them like one of my own. Whether your dog needs a quick potty break, a walk, playtime, fresh water, medication, or just some extra love while you’re away, I’m happy to help. I work in healthcare, where being dependable, responsible, and trustworthy is part of my everyday job. I understand how important it is to have someone you can rely on, and I’ll always care for your home and your pet with that same level of respect. You’ll also receive photo updates so you can relax knowing your furry family member is happy and well cared for. I especially enjoy active dogs and love playing fetch, going for walks, or simply giving them the attention they deserve. I look forward to meeting you and giving your pet the same love and care I’d want for my own! Hi! I’m Lindsey, a part-time dental hygienist and lifelong dog lover. On my days off, I offer dependable drop-in visits for busy pet parents. My schedule is typically available on Wednesdays and Thursdays, making me a great fit if your dog needs a midday potty break, playtime, fresh water, or a little extra love while you’re at work. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I understand how important it is to trust someone in your home, and I’ll treat both your pets and your home with the same care and respect I would my own. During every drop-in visit, I’ll make sure your pet has fresh water, potty breaks, exercise or playtime (based on their needs), and plenty of love and attention. I’ll also lock doors, follow your instructions carefully, and send photo updates so you can relax knowing your pet is happy and well cared for.

About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life. I provided dedicated senior care for my chocolate Labrador, Copper, who lived to the incredible age of 18. Today, I have two pit bull mixes that join me on hiking adventures throughout the year, and I even harness-trained my kitten for outdoor adventures. I treat every pet like family and understand that each has their own unique personality, needs, and routine. Whether they're energetic or need a little extra care, I'll make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for. I am currently a wedding photographer in off season and have pretty good availability during the week for pet sitting. I typically work weekends but with enough notice and special occasions I'm flexible. I have one high energy dog and one older dog. So daily walks are a must. Sometimes separate and sometimes together. Our walks are typically 1 to 2 miles. I have two friendly dogs at home but I do have smaller home and a husband with allergies. So in my own home would probably be a case by case basis. As for other people's home's I'm flexible and respectful of house rules.

“We cannot recommend her enough! She is incredibly attentive to our fur babies and always provides excellent communication, which gives us so much peace of mind while we’re away. She truly has a gift with animals & the dogs absolutely adore her. It’s clear she understands their personalities and “pet language” so well. Knowing pets is such a blessing. We received updates and great photos. We are so grateful to have found her and will continue to book with her whenever possible!”

About: I’ve had dogs, cats, chickens and other birds my whole life, more than 40 years. I’m a retired teacher and empty nester and I’m home most of the time so your fur babies will get lots of love and attention! I’m retired so I’m home and available almost all of the time. I’d rather be at home with furry friends. They’ll get lots of love and attention with me. I have a large fenced yard and a one story house with wood floors. I’m an empty nester so it’s just me and my service dog at home. There’s no kids around just me and my sweet dog.

About: I’m a lifelong dog lover who has been providing dedicated dog walking and pet care since 1998. Over the last two decades, I’ve worked with small, medium, and large breeds, giving me a deep understanding of the unique needs and energy levels across all sizes.Having personally owned a high-energy Blue Heeler and currently sharing my life with a sweet Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, I am incredibly adaptable to different canine temperaments. Whether your pup is an intense, active working dog that needs a structured job, a gentle giant, or a sensitive soul who loves a slow, sniff-heavy stroll, I tailor every walk to their specific behavioral and physical requirements. Your dog's safety, happiness, and unique personality will always be my top priority! I care for my family daily, including my twin teenage daughters and an 8 year old Cavalier King Charles Spaniel named Chipper. I've been Chipper's primary caregiver since we brought him home as a 10 week old puppy, and he's the center of attention and love here in our home. He's fed twice daily, given treats twice daily, walked every morning, and played with and snuggled multiple times a day! I have a fully fenced in yard in a quiet neighborhood with my elderly, sweet Cavalier King Charles Spaniel. It's a lovely, calm, inviting environment for everyone.

“I’ve never used a pet sitter for my fur babies before... I have 2 senior dogs and they can’t travel like they use to. That’s when I found rover and Nadia. My mind was put at ease every time Nadia sent pictures and updates on all 3 of my babies. She also was great at giving their vitamins! Nadia is our new favorite!!! Would definitely recommend her!”

FAQs for Dog Sitting - Richmond

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Sitting in Richmond on Rover is $22 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $30 per visit. 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 October 2026, there are 4,688 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Richmond. 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.

Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Richmond choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!

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 .

While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

To find sitters in Richmond with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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
  • 96% 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 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.
