Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Richmond
Danyelle is fantastic! She was patient and loving with my two cats and they warmed up to her quickly. She won over my male cat, Toast, within minutes and sent me pics of him on her lap. Even my super shy girl, Sunny, who usually hides under the bed, came out to see Danyelle and accepted some pets. I am so happy to have found such an amazing sitter!
Madison did a great job taking care of my two cats for a week! She even left my apartment clean and went above and beyond what I asked. She communicated with me when needed, and my cats seemed so happy and relaxed when I got home. I would definitely use Madison again!
Chynna did a great job taking care of my pet while I was away. I had an emergency in my apartment and she offered to go back and check on my cat multiple times that had not been previously booked to make sure he was okay and spend extra time with him.

I had a great experience with my Kay C! She was very caring, responsible, and kept me updated while I was away. I felt comfortable knowing my pets were in good hands, and everything went smoothly. I really appreciate the care and attention she gave them. I would definitely recommend her!!!
Amy was excellent when watching our cat Sybil. We looked forward to her pictures and updates each day while we were gone. She also cleaned the litter boxes and brought in our mail each day which we really appreciated. I would definitely recommend Amy and we would use her services again.
I’ve had Iris care for my two cats multiple times, and she has been amazing every time! She is incredibly thorough, follows all of my instructions, and takes great care of not only my cats but my home as well. She’s someone I can always rely on, which gives me so much peace of mind when I’m away. I highly recommend Iris to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter!
Kaleigh did a great job with our 2 kitties while we were away for the weekend! She was very communicative, asked insightful questions about our pets and preferences, and sent a lot of cute pictures of our cats during her check-ins.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Richmond on Rover is $19.98 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

As of September 2026, there are 1,211 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Richmond. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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:
- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% 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.
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.
