About: ¡Hola! I’m a dependable and caring pet lover with experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages. I’m attentive to routines, feeding schedules and any special needs to make sure your let feels safe and happy. I am retired and maintain a flexible schedule that allows me to accommodate regular routines. I can handle last minute bookings and multiple daily visits, if needed. Your pets safety and comfort are my top priorities. I take time to understand each pets routine so I can provide consistent, stress free care.
About: Animals have always been a part of my life. Along with being a lifelong pet owner, I’ve worked in veterinary clinics and animal hospitals for about 3 years, giving me valuable experience caring for dogs and cats. Your pet’s comfort, safety, and well-being will always be my top priority. I have a flexible schedule and am available most days of the week, including weekends. I do set aside a little time each day for errands and caring for my own fur babies, but I’m happy to work around your pet’s needs. On Sundays, I attend church in the morning and am available starting in the afternoon. I care for pets in their own environment where they’re most comfortable. I follow their regular routine, provide plenty of attention and affection, and ensure their needs are met throughout my visit. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages for peace of mind while you’re away.
About: What sets me apart is my patience, especially with shy or nervous pets. I take things slow and let them come to me so they always feel safe and comfortable. I’ve been pet sitting for friends for the past 7 years, caring for both cats and dogs with all different personalities. I’ve loved animals since I was a kid and even went/took horseback riding lessons once a week. Since my mom was scared of dogs, I wasn’t able to have one as a child, so I poured all my love into caring for my friends pets whenever I could - playing with them, cuddling them, and giving them the attention they needed. Now I have a dog and I used to have a cat of my own, and both require daily medication, so I’m experienced with giving pets medicine safely and gently. I genuinely love creating a calm, loving environment where every pet feels understood and cared for. I work from home two days a week. My office hours are 8am-5pm. My partner also works a lot from home so your pet won’t be home alone very often. I’m available for boarding during the week (as long as your pet is used to a similar schedule) and weekends. I care for pets by creating a calm, safe, and cozy space. I have a fenced yard and a nice neighborhood for walks. My friendly dog will keep your pup company. Your fur baby is welcome on all our furniture, just like my dog. If needed, I can easily crate your pet or let them stay loose. Whatever makes them and/or you feel most comfortable.
“Kiara was very attentive to my boy. She was able to give him pills 2 per day while I was away. Very professional and understanding. Thank you so much for taking care of my baby. I hope he was not much of a trouble :)”
About: I've been caring for animals for most of my life and have experience with pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities. In addition to dogs and cats, I've cared for puppies, kittens, birds, rabbits, guinea pigs, fish, turtles, lizards, monkeys, and other exotic and domestic animals. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to feed, walk, play with, administer basic care, and provide companionship for their pets while they're away. I understand that every animal has unique needs, routines, and personalities, and I take the time to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, enrichment activities, cuddles, or simply sticking to their normal routine, I'll provide attentive and reliable care. I'll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you're away. I work nearby Monday through Friday from 8:30 AM to 4:00 PM and am home most weekends. Depending on your pet's needs and temperament, I may be able to bring well-socialized dogs with me to work, allowing for additional companionship, supervision, potty breaks, and walks throughout the day. I can also return home during lunch breaks when needed for feedings, medication administration, exercise, or extra attention. My goal is to maintain your pet's normal routine and provide a safe, comfortable, and enriching experience while you're away. Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. My home is clean, air-conditioned, and located in a quiet townhouse community with limited traffic, a single entrance and exit, and only a few residential buildings. We have a fenced patio, a dedicated pet walking area nearby, and a large sliding glass door that provides natural light and outdoor views while allowing pets to remain comfortably indoors. Unless otherwise requested by the owner, pets will be kept safely indoors at all times. Outdoor walks, potty breaks, playtime, and patio access will always be provided according to your preferences and your pet's individual needs. I understand that every pet has different routines, rules, and comfort levels, and I am committed to following your care instructions exactly as requested. For added security, my home has keypad entry access, and pets are never given unsupervised access to bedrooms, helping maintain a safe and controlled environment. Fresh filtered water is always available if preferred. I share my home with my 11-year-old son, who has been raised around animals and understands the importance of treating every pet with patience, kindness, and respect. We both genuinely love animals and work together to provide a calm, caring, and welcoming environment where pets feel like part of the family.
About: I love all types of animals, from cats, to rabbits, and even to exotics! But, dogs definitely have a special place in my heart, simply because I have also been a previous dog mom. I’ve had many different dogs throughout my life, from toy breeds to active herding dogs, so no breed is too much for me! I’ve petsat countless of dogs in the past, and I also worked as a vet tech for 2 years, so I have experience with administering meds and giving extra care to sick pets. I promise you that your dog would be incredibly happy under my care! I will take care of them as if they were my own. I am a full-time student who can definitely be flexible on what days to pet sit or dog walk. My maximum amount of drop-in visits are 3. In my home, I bathe my dogs, feed them, take them on long walks, administer anynecessary medication/preventatives, perform nail trims, and clean up after any messes. The same will be done for my future clients’ pets when in their respective homes or in mine.
About: I have many years of experience taking care of pets. I have been passionate of taking care of dogs since 14 years of age. I’m confident that your best friend would be well accommodated and feel like he/she is apart of the family. I have a big yard for your dog to run and explore. Recently lost my dog due to cancer and would love to take care of your pets as if he/she were my own. I am available all day long weekdays and weekends! So you can call at anytime and I will be available for you and your pet! I have a fenced yard for your furry friend to roam around freely, as well as a dog park nearby. I would much rather keeping them out of crates if possible. Would so if requested.
About: A client of mine released her live in dog sitter, house/pet sitter, of her duties because she was making unwanted behaviors worse. That inspired me to expand my services on the Rover app to include more than just virtual dog training sessions. Every interaction is a leaning opportunity for your pets. I always interact in a way that’s going to discourage the unwanted behaviors while encouraging and rewarding all the wanted behaviors creating an all around well balanced atmosphere. Every dog walk turns into a loose leash session to make future walks easier for not just my clients, but for myself as well in hopes of long-term success. Drop in visits include mental and physical stimulation. Training does not happen overnight so I can NOT provide any long term training success on single drop in visits! ** In house board and train programs available for house/pet sitting stays 7 days or more. I have a converted Ram ProMaster, camper/van, and do not need a room to rest my head or kitchen to cook my meals in, I just need a clearance of 9’3 ** If you are unsure on how your dog might behave or know your dog growls, hackles stand up or show any warning signs they might bite please basket muzzle train your dog before hiring a sitter, dog walker, etc. not just for safety but for the training purposes of your dog, this will set your dog up to succeed.
“Samantha was wonderful. She left me detailed notes and pictures so I had full confidence everything was going well. She had excellent communication skills and kept track of the care instructions for my dogs. My little dog is not a fan of new people but warmed up to Samantha faster than anyone so far!!”
The median cost per visit for cat sitting in Richmond Heights is $22

Alexis is amazing. It was my first time using her and even with the meet and greet visit, she was so timely and kept me updated. This was my first time ever using her or rover—and I feel relief that I found someone so responsible and who truly loves animals—and is a cat lover. Will definitely use her again.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 1,967 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Richmond Heights. 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 Heights. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 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.
