“Hope is absolutely fantastic! My buddies love her. She is responsive, sent pictures and notes, and left my house as clean as she found it. We are using her again soon!”
“We hired Sarah for an initial drop-in visit for our dog. Sarah was quick to respond to my questions and requests. The visit went great! Sarah kept in constant communication in preparation for the visit and sent some great pictures of our fur baby throughout her visit! We decided to hire Sarah for several future visits since we were so pleased!”
“My cats were in good hands with Katie checking in on them and spending some time with them as well! She even left some cute treats and toys for them. Katie went above and beyond and also collected my mail while I was out of town. I’ll definitely Italy be reaching back out next time I need a sitter.”
“Brooke is in one word ... EXCEPTIONAL! My family and I went away on a 17 day trip to Europe and we were naturally anxious about leaving our two cats alone. We connected with Brooke through Rover and we knew as soon as we met her that she was the right person for the job - friendly, personable and down to earth. She came over to visit with us before we left. She has a true gift for working with animals. We watched in amazement as our VERY skittish kitty Rosie took to her immediately. We had a couple of special requests that she handled with ease. She took care of our gecko, willingly supplying him with live crickets, and fed the fish. She brought in the mail and watered our plants. WHAT A GEM! Added to all that, we felt so comfortable knowing she was there for the cats. She visited at the exact times we requested, and cared for them perfectly. She played with our gregarious Orange boy and was gentle and patient with the prickly Ms. Rosie. Brooke took incredible photos of them - much nicer than the ones I take myself. I recommend booking Brooke most highly. We could not have asked for a better care-giver for our menagerie. We think you will be delighted too!”
“We were so pleased with Madeline's care for Remy during our time away. After meeting her and seeing our cat curl into her legs, I knew that the bond was already there. We were never worried and enjoyed the photos and knew that we'd find our cat and our home in perfect condition....and that was our delight. We would like to leave Madeline an extra tip for her good work! Thanks Rover and thanks Madeline!! Nancy Chapman”
“Emma was great with my dog! She was on time and reliable. She followed instructions and I could tell by the pictures she took Theo had a good time❤️ would definitely recommend her !!”
“Ross did a great job with our two cats. He provided exactly the care we requested and spent time playing with our young cat to help her get out that pent up energy! He also provided superior communication. We greatly appreciated his sitting services”
About: Hi! I'm a lifelong dog lover with 18 years of hands-on pet care experience. Over the years, I've provided dog walking, pet sitting, and boarding services for dogs of all sizes, breeds, ages, and personalities. Whether your furry family member needs a quick walk, overnight care, extended sitting, or a comfortable home-away-from-home boarding experience, I am committed to providing them with the love, attention, and care they deserve. Animals have always held a special place in my heart. I believe every pet is unique and should be treated like family. My big heart, positive personality, and genuine passion for animals allow me to build trust with both pets and their owners. I take pride in creating a safe, loving, and stress-free environment where pets feel comfortable, happy, and cared for while you're away. From energetic puppies who love adventure to senior dogs who prefer a slower pace, I tailor my care to meet each pet's individual needs. I understand how important it is to have someone reliable looking after your beloved companion, and I strive to provide peace of mind through dependable, compassionate care. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members and treating them with the same love and attention I would give my own.
“Samantha and Christopher were amazing! They sent plenty of pics and videos of my kitties and I knew they were well taken care of. I could tell our cat really bonded with them too. I felt so comfortable going out of town known that Samantha and Christopher were the ones taking care of our pets. They also watch my mom’s dogs and the dogs love them!! We will absolutely ask them to come back again when we go out of town next!”
“Suzanne provided excellent care for Riley and were very pleased with her level of commitment and her flexibility to adapt to our schedule. We will absolutely request her services during our next trip. Thank you, Suzanne!”
About: I have always had pets in my life, since i was an infant. I am very good at caring for pets and even pets who don’t normally like people tend to like me. I also used to volunteer in an animal shelter where I would take care of both cats and dogs. I also know a bit about how to care for reptiles. I am currently unemployed because I am taking time to prepare for college. I am looking to make some extra money during the summer, while doing something I enjoy. I have a very open schedule and am available pretty much 24/7. I am very good at taking care my pets at home. I follow their schedules for when they need to eat. I am also used to dogs as well as cats. I took a dog training class, and I am able to make sure they listen for their safety, but still feel loved. As well as the basics, I am good at bathing cats and keeping them calm when needed. I am really good with all animals because I genuinely care for every single one that I see.
About: I’ve been dog sitting for my neighbors since I was in elementary school. I have also owned my own dogs for all of my life. I pride myself on ensuring that every dog I take care of is given above average care. I make sure that they are walked everyday I am taking care of them and also play with them on top of that. I’ve also helped in the process of raising a puppy, which has taught me even more about what dogs require. I don’t have as much experience with cats but I was a cat sitter for my neighbor throughout all of elementary school and middle school (they moved away). I’m a college student so when I’m home for the summer the only things I have are my part time job. This means I’m very openly available to check on the pets, walk them, and play with them. I typically go to the gym every morning, so they’ll be up early and fed early. I will also walk them daily so they’ll get plenty of exercise throughout the day. I provide reliable, attentive care to each pet i care for. In my home, I create a calm, safe environment with plenty of supervision, lots of bathroom trips, playtime, and rest. There are no kids in my house so it is a very comfortable and calm environment. Even when everyone is home, it’s a comfortable and calm space. In a client’s home, I stick closely to the normal schedule so your pet is as comfortable as possible. I’m respectful of your home, keep things clean, and send regular updates with photos so you are confident your pet is being taken good care of. My goal is always to make your pet feel as comfortable and loved as possible while you’re gone.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Richmond Heights
Kristyn did a phenomenal job watching our boys while we were out of town. Her daily drop-ins came with excellent communication and great photos, giving us total peace of mind. She is thorough, professional, and completely reliable. We will absolutely hire her again and highly recommend her to anyone.
Emma did a great job with my cats! Her rover cards always had pictures and video along with thorough updates so I didn’t have worry at all while I was away. It was clear my cats loved her and felt very comfortable around her. She also had no problem feeding my exotic pets and even watered some of my thirstier plants. She was always quick to get back to me will definitely book again!
Maddie was wonderful taking care of my little cat Houdini this weekend! She stopped by exactly when she said she would and provided pictures showing me he had been fed and what they were up to that day. Very happy with Maddie's pet check-in services and will definitely be hiring her again in the future!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Richmond Heights on Rover is $19.26 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Cat Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Cat Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 1,313 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:
- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
