“Alexis was a great care taker for our dachshund over the weekend! She was very open and receptive to any specific requests we had, shared pictures and videos. Overall our dog appeared to enjoy the time with her and we would definitely reach out again the next time we are out of town.”
“Lauren has been amazing with our three doodles. They clearly love their visits with her and it is so nice to know someone has eyes on them during the work day. We definitely recommend working with Lauren!!”
“Austin was wonderful! Nubbitz and i will be a reoccurring customers if he’ll have us. He sent pics of my cat everyday and eased my crazy separation anxiety with his professionalism. 10/10”
“Courtney was so accommodating in fitting daily drop-in visits for our cats into her schedule last minute. She provided pictures, detailed updates, and assurances our kitties were loved and cared for while we were gone! We will definitely have her cat-sit again soon.”
About: Hi my name is aaziya and I have over 10 years of pet care experience and I am very flexible. Whether your fur baby is reactive, special needs, or you have specific instructions on how you want them cared for, I do it all! My schedule is very open due to the fact that I just left a pet grooming job where I didn’t feel very much comfortable and couldn’t fit into my day to day life Since I don’t have anything other than getting my son to and from daycare that needs my attention, your pet will have all of my undivided attention to care for all their needs! I also have a very large yard for them to either burn energy or just relax in the sun.
“Omega has been terrific, giving 5 meds per day to my old kitty. She checked in via the app each of the three times a day thst she visited, & I appreciated the photos, taken in various locations. My stand-offish kitty even rubbed up against her after a couple of days! Thanks so much, Omega, I will def request you again!”
About: Hi my name is Yocheved, but a lot of people call me Yo, or Ava. I am an only parent to a wonderful, active middle schooler. We have a happy home full of love and laughter, and 2 kitties. After 14 magical years together, we lost our dog to old age, a couple years back. I miss the feel of having a dog around, but I know in my heart of hearts we are all a little older, and a little busier, and our home cannot house a new permanent four-legged resident. But I do not accept the lack of dogs in our lives! I said yes to dog sitting lately, and I have made so many new friends since. Hanging out with your dogs or cats when you're unable to be there- it's become a thing I look forward to in my home. I love walking the neighborhood or doing drop-ins to feed cats. Let me help you! I'm currently WFH part time, and tend to end my days on the early side, for parenting purposes. Because of this I'm pretty flexible and available throughout the week. I tend to all pets, like I would for my own. I cared for my dog through cancer, twice- so I'm pretty familiar with medicine, senior care, and all the extra effort needed for older or sick animlas. I love to walk, burn off energy, and snuggle. Happy to do light grooming (brushing), and send photos and videos throughout our time together!
“Alyssa was Amazing! Communicated the entire time we were on our trip. Pictures from each drop in visit. Our dog absolutely loved her! Huge relief when traveling when we couldn’t bring our pup with us. Will for sure be reaching out to her again our next trip.”
“Kim was amazing! Our doggies love her and she was always on top of sending pictures/videos and updates. She made us feel like we didn’t have to worry about our fur babies while being out of town. She came prepared and asked questions about how to care for our doggies. She really treats them as if they were her own and it shows by how much our dogs enjoyed her watching them. Don’t hesitate to book with Kim! We will definitely be booking with her again in the future!”
About: Hello! My name is Summer, your friendly outdoorsy pet sitter! 👋 A little bit about me: My family has fostered cats and dogs ever since I was a little girl! I had the privilege of caring for dogs and cats from all walks of life; from training puppies and kittens to end of life care for senior or injured animals. Our animals have always been the center of our world. 🤍 Since moving from my Indiana home, I have been taking care of my fellow neighbors furry friends for the past 5 years! I have experience with dogs and cats of any size and temperaments and LOVE to be outdoors. With my new work from home job, I’ve been looking to fill my mornings and evenings and would love to meet your little companions! I have two beloved cats of my own, Coco and Moss! Coco, my soul cat, was found as a feral kitten and now lives her best life lounging in the sun. Moss was born from a momma cat that we rescued 3 years ago and has been my little best friend ever since! I have a full time work from home job and will be available between 5:30 - 8:45 am and 6:45 - 8 pm Monday through Friday! I have a 30 minute lunch break daily and can stop by depending on distance. I am also open to weekends as well and can be more flexible with my time. I am a planner and will always know in advance when I will be out of town or gone for the weekend! Ensuring a safe and calming environment is my first priority when taking care of your pet. Building trust with a new human takes time and patience and is not a process I will rush. Since my services will take place in a clients home or in the neighborhood for dog walking, I am open to meet and greets so your beloved pet feels safe in my presence.
“Erin was great! She was so good with the cats and very thoughtful. She was also very responsive with any questions or new instructions. We felt at ease leaving the cats and our home for her to take care of while we were away. Thank you Erin!”
“Stephanie has been taking care of my elderly cat off and on since we moved to the area. He needs 2 medications and I always come home to a happy, healthy cat and a clean house!”
“Brittney was great. My normally shy cats instantly took a liking to her, and she took great care of them while I was out of town. Would definitely hire her again.”
About: As a lifelong animal lover I have cared for dogs, cats and even rodents! For the past decade plus I had the honor and privilege to have cared for 2 dogs who lived fun and fulfilling lives to senior age. I am experienced with dogs who deal with reactivity, chronic illnesses, and mobility issues. I have acquired some basic training skills over the years including e-collar training. Please do not hesitate to send a message with details about your dog's specific needs. Together we can create the best care plan possible for your fluffy family members! I work remotely full time from home with a flexible schedule. Throughout my work day I diligently walk, water, feed, and play with any animals under my care. Pet needs can sometimes be unpredictable. My services can be made available to those in need of short-notice pet care. For those in need of pet boarding and short-term pet sitting I have a large fenced yard with plenty of toys, access to potty areas, and open access into my home. There is plenty of space for your dog to be comfortable and receive appropriate mental stimulation. Crate trained dogs are welcome though the majority of my experience is with non-crate trained dogs. I make a point to walk and play with your dog as much as necessary!
About: I’ve had dogs since I was two years old. I subscribe wholly to the idea that they are mans best friend. I’ve been walking dogs for nearly 5 years, and I truly love it. Exercise and play time are important to a dog’s and cat’s mental and physical health, and I’m happy, ready, willing, and able to provide that for your furry family member. I’m happy to do walks early morning or late night, as well as general drop ins throughout the day to provide you with the peace of mind to know your furry friend is happy and getting exercise. I’m happy to follow any rules you have for your pet, dietary restrictions, etc. Of course, if there’s a favorite toy, or place to walk, please let me know, happy to oblige that as well. I'm currently not working full-time so I have plenty of time to take care of your furry family member. Caring for pets is my primary source of income currently. I rarely leave pets alone if they are in my home, and I make sure to understand someone else's home before allowing a pet out of my sight.
“Kelsey was so helpful in caring for my 6 week old kitten! She was communicative and sent pictures when she checked on him, everything was tidy when I got back home too. Thanks so much! :)”
“Molly was amazing! Upon doing meet and greet you could tell she was professional and reliable. She was quick to communicate and great with sending updates. You could tell she really cares about your pets. Will definitely book with Molly again!”
“Sandra did a great job taking care of, and spending time with my two cats! As soon as she met them, I could tell that they were going to get along wonderfully. Sandra communicated well with me, and was very kind. I felt relaxed the whole time I was gone knowing that my boys were in good hands! Would recommend Sandra to anyone looking for a stellar pet sitter!!”

Alexis is clearly an animal lover! She knew just how to make my kitty Koko feel loved and well taken care of. She sent me lots of updates and even took pictures of our automatic feeder so I wouldn’t worry about it not working while we were away. If you want excellent service and great communication I would highly recommend Alexis! Koko agrees :))
Kim took wonderful care of our two senior cats while we were away, and she also went above and beyond by taking care of a few extra tasks we had requested, like watering our plants. It gave us real peace of mind knowing our home and our cats were in such good hands. We would absolutely trust Kim again the next time we travel. Thanks so much, Kim!
So fantastic to have Erin able to provide TWICE DAILY insulin medication and playful care of our older diabetic cat Midnight. All the cute photo updates kept us connected to our beloved kitty. We also really appreciated Erin's close attention to learning about Midnight's special needs in advance. Thanks again to Erin!!!
Catherine took good care of my bunnies while I was on a trip. She put good attention to their care and made sure they were eating well and comfortable!! She also communicated very clearly and promptly which made me feel at ease that they were in good hands. Thank you Catherine!!
This was our second time booking with Sirena. As expected, she responded quickly to my request/messages and followed the instructions I left for her perfectly. I was at ease knowing our kitty was in good hands while we were away. I highly recommend booking with Sirena, I know we will ask for her services again.
We had such a wonderful experience with Jaina! She truly went above and beyond taking care of Noah and Mary while we were away. We received daily pictures and updates, which gave us a peace of mind. Communication was also quick and reassuring. We are extremely grateful! Highly recommend!
Emony was a lifesaver! I had a nine day trip ahead of me and needed to find someone to care for my cat, Peaches. He’s the sweetest cat in the world, but is very shy with people he doesn’t know and will curl up in the boxspring of my bed until they’re gone. So I was very worried about hiring a stranger. I took one look at Emony’s picture and knew she’d be perfect. When she came over to learn the ropes, she was as sweet and as kind as she looked and low and behold, it didn’t take long for him to come out and meet her! This alone was rather miraculous, but over the time she cared for him he let her pet and even brush him! She was absolutely fantastic and from now on, she’ll be his forever sitter. If you’re looking for a kind and thoughtful person to care for your pet while you’re away, I highly recommend Emony.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Richmond Heights on Rover is $15.54 per visit (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 1,162 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:
- 96% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 96% 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.
