About: We have 5 animals in the house, we’ve had them since they were puppies and all get along and friendly towards other people and animals. I work from home and take the pups out 5 times a day. Can take them out more if a pup has a weaker bladder. I usually take mine out at the same time but have enough time in the day to take your pup out individually. Everyone really lounges at home while I work or go out but my boy loves to play so we have best of both worlds and doggie beds all over the house if they’re tired or can play in the back yard.
“Sophia was kind, loving, attentive, and very flexible when caring for my cat! I never felt worried while I was away because I knew my cat was in good hands. Sophia treats your pet as if they are her own and her experience handling animals shows. I wouldn’t trust my pets with anyone else!”
About: Hi, I’m Stephanie! I’ve been providing pet care since November of last 2025 and truly enjoy building trust with both pets and their owners. Skills & Experience: Large Dog Handling: Comfortable walking dogs up to 80 lbs with a calm and controlled approach. For safety, I do ask that larger dogs are fully trained and well-behaved on leash. Time Management & Organization: Experienced in caring for multiple dogs at once while making sure each one gets the attention, exercise, and care they need. Routine-Based Care: I stick closely to each pet’s routine to help them feel safe, relaxed, and comfortable. Reliability & Attention to Detail: I’m dependable and attentive, always paying close attention to a pet’s behavior and needs. Exercise & Engagement: I provide structured 30-minute walks and make sure each visit includes both care and positive interaction. I treat every pet with patience, kindness, and respect; making sure they feel happy and cared for while you’re away, and giving you peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands. I’m currently an online student so i have a very flexible schedule! Im available in the mornings, earliest 10am, and the latest at 8pm. I take both pet safety and respect for your home very seriously. I always follow any instructions closely, including feeding routines, medications (if needed), and household preferences. I make sure doors, gates, and entry points are secure at all times, and I’m careful during walks and visits to keep pets safe and under control. In your home, I aim to be as respectful and tidy as possible; cleaning up after pets, keeping their areas neat, and leaving everything just as I found it. I also understand the importance of trust, so I’m reliable, communicative, and happy to provide updates so you feel confident while you’re away. My goal is to create a safe, calm environment for your pets while also giving you peace of mind knowing your home and pets are being well cared for.
“Tania was AMAZING. We had just moved to town after a long three days drive from Mississippi with our toddler, 3 cats, and our beagle. Tania met us at our hotel (that was only dog friendly) to pick up our kitty babies, which was such a big help to us, I can’t even put it into words. When we realized that we weren’t getting into our new home right away, she was able to keep them an extra night and then drop them off. She is a LIFE SAVER. She loves your babies like they are her own and sends lots of pictures and updates. ❤️❤️ We will definitely use her again!”
About: What sets me apart is the genuine bond I build with every pet 🐾 I’m not just there to “watch” them—I really take time to understand their personality, their routine, and what makes them feel safe and happy. I’m very patient and attentive, which helps a lot with both puppies and senior pets. With puppies, I like to keep things consistent and use positive reinforcement to support any training you’re working on. With senior pets, I’m extra gentle, calm, and make sure they’re comfortable, whether that’s slower walks, medication, or just extra cuddles. I’m also big on communication—I’ll send updates and cute photos so you always know how your pet is doing. My goal is for your pet to feel loved and relaxed, and for you to feel completely at ease knowing they’re in good hands 💛 Pet care fits really naturally into my day because it’s something I genuinely love doing 🐾 I have a pretty flexible routine, so I’m able to stop by for visits, walks, or just hangout time whenever your pet needs it. I like to keep things consistent for them—feeding, playtime, or just keeping them company—so they feel comfortable and relaxed while you’re away. I’m available mornings, afternoons, and evenings, and I’m super easygoing when it comes to working around your pet’s schedule. Honestly, spending time with animals is one of my favorite parts of the day, so it never feels like a job—more like I get to hang out with a bunch of cute new friends 💛🐶🐱 Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved 🐾 I’m very attentive to their routine and environment—making sure doors are secure, food and water are fresh, and they’re always in a calm, clean space. I’m also very mindful when it comes to safety. I double-check locks, keep a close eye during walks or outdoor time, and make sure pets are always in a secure environment. I’m good with alarm systems and home security, so you can feel confident your home is being respected and looked after as well. I treat every home and pet like it’s my own—lots of love, patience, and attention to detail so you can fully relax while you’re away 💛
About: I've always loved animals. I willfully care for my friends pets even when they don't ask lol. I see it also as free therapy for me. It's truly a blessing that we have animals to help and comfort us through life. I had a needy great dane I was deeply in love with. He was a huge priority for me so he was very spoiled. Pet care helps me with my depression as well so I take it very seriously. I had a great dane in a one bedroom unit. His name was timber and he was the sweetest and laziest dog ever. He loves all animals, even birdies. He used to have a cat friend who would clean his face while he just laid there enjoying every second of it 😆
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 14 years old. I have petsitted a few times in Nicaragua, but the service was never as popular. I currently have a ten year old cocker spaniel named Leia, who you can see in my picture. I’m a proud dog friend and an aspiring cat friend as I haven’t had much experience with cats. However, I love animals (as long as they are not insects). I am one to pay close attention to pet body language, and I will make sure to provide the most comfort and love to your furbaby 💕 I’m currently working part-time so I will be super happy to fit any pet care into my schedule. I’m very punctual will petsit for you on friday and weekends, when you usually want to go out and enjoy human time ✨ I’m happy to provide any tools and help you acquire items for your pet. If you need me to pet-shop too, I will! I also have a car of my own, so there is no end to dog parks we can visit. I will go and stay at your home as much as you need in order to care for your pet. Everybody at home adores pets.
“Ameer was great and has a very calming presence. I have older kitties who need attention and care and they were well taken care of, and the house was clean and he watered our plants. He sends photos and is always responsive. I was able to go away and not worry which is a blessing. Would definitely recommend him to take care of your kitties and will use him again in the future.”
“Mariya was great in drop-ins looking after my cat and was a pleasure to work with. All communication was quick and clear, she was flexible with working out the details and meeting up, and followed all instructions. She sent lots of great pics and my cat did great while she was looking in on him. Would definitely book again.”
“Sam was really great with my 9-year-old kitty! She sent updates and photos daily, was responsive, and overall a great communicator. At one point she told me a storm was expected and that she would be with my boy when it was thundering when he gets nervous. She also made smart decisions about not letting him out into his catio when it was too hot. Sam even gave the stray kitties in the yard some love, which was really sweet. You can tell she genuinely cares about animals. Highly recommend!”
“I had a wonderful experience with my pet sitter! She took great care of my cat, Julius, and gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. She was caring, responsible, communicative, and treated Julius like her own. I really appreciated the updates and knowing that he was safe, comfortable, and well taken care of. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for someone they can trust with their pet. I will absolutely book her again!” 🐾❤️”
“Sanjana was amazing. We have an elderly dog who has problems seeing and gets easily confused. Sanajana made sure he was OK each day and walked and fed him. Our dog accepted her immediately and it's like we never left the house. Thank you Sanjana!”

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 October 2026, there are 2,087 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 .
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 , 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 .

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 , 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.
