“I booked Hope to care after my two cats, while I took a 5 day trip. She came over for a meet and greet a few days before I left and the cats were receptive to her very calm demeanor. That's a big plus when you introduce a new person to your pets. I have a cat with diabetes and needs insulin shots, twice a day. He can be uncooperative with others giving the shot, but she was successful on each occasion. I received timely updates after each of her visits and positive messages, which give assurance that all was ok back home. I was extremely happy with her care and will definitely hire her again.”
“Natalee always does a great job. This time she was observamt and noticed some health issues with our cat. This helped us to promptly respond and get him the care he needed. Thank you Natalee!”
“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!”
“Alex was fantastic with my dog, Nate! Nate can be somewhat unruly with other dogs. Alex was keen on listening to how Nate's been trained and (IMHO) had the calm demeanor that people and dogs like Nate want in a dog walker. He also communicated well and followed through on everything he signed up for. Thank you, Alex!”
“Katie took wonderful care of our two dogs, making sure they had ample breaks during the day, sticking to their schedule and going above and beyond to make sure the pups were comfortable while we were gone. A+ all around, thank you Katie!!!”
“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!”
“Ellie was great with our dog! It seems to reduce our little guy’s anxiety to have her come by & spend time with him. Ellie us very reliable & conscientious m. I highly recommend her!”
“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 has been absolutely amazing so far! She is taking care of our two Siberian kitties and treating them as if they were her own. She sends us pics and reports. We are in the hospital having our first baby and she had made leaving our kitty babies at home so much easier. Would highly recommend and we will definitely be using her in the future for any cat care needs!”
“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.
“Hayley is great. We just met. And she just met JP. She was aware enough to give JP her space because JP is very shy and sometimes scared. I definitely want to hire Hayley again. I will be requesting those dates soon.”
“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’ve been taking care of dogs and cats since I was 10. I dog sit regularly for friends and family, and do so because I love animals so much! Friends and family rely on me to walk, feed and love their animals for up to a week or so at times. This varies between dog and cat sitting at my home or house sitting at their home. Ages of pets range between 10 week old puppies and kittens to 10 year old dogs and cats. I have the extreme luxury of working from home Monday-Friday. With my schedule, I try to go for a walk everyday, so why not bring a dog with me?! I am in the St. Louis area most weekends and am able to accommodate weekend boardings as well. I have a 2 bedroom home and a fenced in backyard with a back door to easily let pets in and out. I am a huge animal lover!

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 was wonderful with both of our dogs while we were away. She communicated clearly throughout and sent multiple photos, which gave us peace of mind knowing our 6 month old puppy and 10 year old dog were happy and well cared for. We would highly recommend her to anyone!
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 Pet Sitting in Richmond Heights on Rover is $18.87 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 Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 2,812 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Richmond Heights. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Richmond Heights stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.

- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
