“Ruth is super responsive and very friendly with your babies! I had a last minute drop in I only had two hours to find someone and she was very fast at responding and helped me out in a pinch. Our original schedule was for 6 visits and she squeezed in the 7th for us last minute! Life saver!”
About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life and truly love spending time with them. I currently have a playful 1-year-old Schnauzer at home. Over the years, friends and family have trusted me to care for their pets, and it’s something I genuinely enjoy. I have experience with special diets and can follow basic medical instructions with care. I always take the time to connect with each dog based on their unique personality. Looking forward to meeting your furry friend! I’m currently not working a traditional job, so I have all the time in the world to care for and play with your pet! I’m available 7 days a week and would love to spend quality time with your furry friend. I also have a fenced yard and my sweet Schnauzer can keep your pup company—if you’re comfortable with that. Your pet’s safety is my top priority
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Absolutely Outstanding dog sitting Experience! I couldn't be happier with my experience uwith Christine! From the moment I booked, everything was seamless and professional. The sitter was not only incredibly reliable but also genuinely caring and attentive to my dog’s needs. I received regular updates, photos, and videos, which gave me total peace of mind while I was away.”
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 have been around animals all my life. I grew up in a home where animals are treated like family. You have to show them TLC. I currently have five dogs and five cats at home. The majority of them are rescues. I have rescued many animals and foster them until i find a home for them. I am great with any animal and know how to take care of them in any certain situation. I have a flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate quality time to the pets in my care. Whether it's a walk, a drop-in visit, or an overnight stay, I make sure each pet receives plenty of attention, exercise, and affection while maintaining their normal routine. I care for every pet as if they were my own. I follow each pet's normal routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications (if needed), and any special instructions from the owner. My goal is to help pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while keeping their environment clean and reducing stress during their owner's absence.
“Donovan was great with our pets! We have a dog and three cats at home and he took care of all of them for the weekend. Our dog Odin was especially happy to see him each visit. Thank you Donovan!”
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.
“Adela was great with all my animals! I had her do drop in visits during my vacation. She was very communicative. It was nice knowing my pets were being taken care of and loved while I was away.”
“Kathryn is a very reliable sitter who I can count on! My cat loves seeing her and was very well cared for during my time away. She and I hope to have Kathryn as a sitter again soon!”
About: I have owned and taken care of dogs for over 15 years. I understand that my client's pet is very precious. I am a responsible, attentive carer. I believe in making your pet's environmental change as comfortable, fun, safe, nurturing and active as possible. I take in/care for pets of most sizes and ages, and I don't like to have more than I owner's pets at a time, to ensure that things run safely and smoothly. I am flexible, accommodating, and I work from home, so I'm able to give your pet loads of attention. I have extensive experience fostering dogs for rescue groups. Some of these dogs were special needs cases in terms of medical needs and anxiety issues. I have a safe, large enough garden. I can do pick up, drop off, overnight, daycare, walking, baths and special trips as required. I am available most holidays and weekends and in the week. I have a jack-russel/chihuahua mix of my own under 1 year who gets on well with other dogs. I'm currently working part-time from home, so I have plenty of time to play with and give loving attention to your pup's needs, including walks and play time. I have a fenced yard and plenty space to run around. The dogs will have regular inside and outside time. Walks are regular and as long and often as you choose. We are home to play and have loads of fun too. Your pet will feel loads of love and attention in this happy, friendly and fun environment.
About: I am a lifelong dog owner with hands-on experience in both senior dog care and high-energy puppies. I offer a lifetime of personal pet ownership combined with years of providing reliable cat care and housesitting services for neighbors and family. I am patient with all animals and ready to give your pet the dedicated attention they deserve. Being a university student as long as I don't have classes I am available. I have a highly flexible schedule and am able to structure my study hours around your pet's needs, providing consistent supervision and companionship. I am mostly free in the afternoon on weekdays and any time on weekends. I tailor every visit to your pet's specific routine and comfort levels. Safety is always at the top of my mind, so I am vigilant about door security whenever entering a home. Once inside, my time is all theirs. For high-energy pets, I can spend my time burning off their energy in the yard or a safe space inside. For older pets, I provide calm companionship and a comforting presence. I am meticulous about following instructions regarding feeding, refreshing water, locking up, and keeping your home secure.
About: I have always owned animals growing up and now I take care of animals for a living. I would love to continue my passion when I’m not at work. I have experience with many different species including reptiles, birds, fish, and of course, dogs and cats. I know the importance of finding a good pet sitter as I own pets myself. Allow me the opportunity to care for yours as if they were mine. I have fairly normal work hours from 8am to 4:30pm. So this gives me plenty of time to spend with your fur baby. Since my schedule is pretty consistent with my days off being during the week, I am able to do multiple walks and drop ins on my days off. I utilize the space provided. So if my client has a backyard and needs me to take their pet out, I can do so. Otherwise, I’ll take the pet out for a walk.
About: Taking care of pets has been a joyful and fulfilling experience for me since I was 12 years old. I have always had a special connection with animals, and the opportunity to take care of them has brought me immense happiness. From playing with dogs in the park to cuddling with cats on lazy afternoons, every moment spent with my furry friends has been full of laughter and joy. Over the years, I have learned to be responsible and dependable, and my pets have taught me important life lessons about love, loyalty, and kindness. I am grateful for the happiness that pets have brought into my life, and I look forward to many more years of fun and laughter with them. Pet care is an integral part of my daily routine, and it's safe to say that my pets run my schedule! They're the bosses, and I'm just the employee who gets to cuddle and play with them all day. Since I work from home and have an open schedule, my pets know that they can count on me to provide them with their daily needs, from feeding and exercising to snuggles and naps. Sometimes, I have to negotiate with them for a little extra playtime or treats, and it's hilarious to see them give me their "puppy-dog eyes" when they want something. My pets keep me on my toes, and I wouldn't have it any other way. Who needs a personal assistant when you have a furry best friend by your side? As a pet caregiver, my motto is "safety first, fun second!" So, while I always make sure to create a healthy and trusting environment for your pet, I also make sure to give them the time of their lives! I'm not just a pet sitter, I'm a pet entertainer! Of course, while having fun is important, safety is always my top priority. I make sure to follow all the necessary safety protocols and supervise the pets at all times. And when it comes to communication, I'm not just a pet whisperer, I'm a pet communicator extraordinaire! I provide regular updates on your pet's activities, behavior, and even their latest jokes (yes, pets have a great sense of humor).

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 August 2026, there are 2,016 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:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% 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.
