About: I have an abundance of experience caring for cats and dogs and genuine love for animals. I understand that every pet has different needs and routines. I carefully follow feeding schedules, provide exercise and playtime, clean cages and litter boxes and make sure pet feels comfortable and loved while their parents are away. My goal is to provide dependable care that gives pet owners peace of mind and helps their fur babies feel happy and secure in my care. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. I have three cats of my own and I make time each day to provide attentive care to them. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are my top priorities. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a yours, I follow their given routine and any special instructions. I make sure the environment is clean, secure, and free of hazards. I respect my clients’ homes, keep them tidy, and communicate with regular updates so owners can feel confident that their pets are safe, happy, and well cared for.

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.

“We had a wonderful experience with Elinor as our cat sitter! She was a great communicator from our initial request through her very last visit, which gave us a lot of peace of mind while we were away on an extended trip. Our cats don't always come out for strangers, so we were especially happy to see that they warmed up to her enough to come out for treats and even play with her during some of her visits. She sent us cute photos and thoughtful updates each day, which we really appreciated and loved seeing while we were away. Our flight home was unexpectedly delayed, and she was incredibly flexible about adding an extra day with the girls. It was such a relief knowing they were in good hands. We would definitely use her again and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and communicative pet sitter!”

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover and proud dog mom to Baker, our 5-year-old adopted coonhound. He’s such a big part of my life that he even inspired me to write and publish a children’s book about him, Learning to Count with Baker the Dog! Having Baker has given me years of firsthand experience with the responsibility, attention, patience, and love that go into caring for a dog. My husband and I also regularly help care for our sister-in-law’s two dogs when she’s away, sometimes having them stay with us for several days at a time. We also love helping our friends by watching their dogs in our home when they need a sitter. I know how important it is to feel completely comfortable with the person caring for your pet. Whether your dog is staying with me, needs a walk, or just needs some extra attention and company, I’ll treat them with the same care and affection I give Baker. I’m happy to follow your dog’s normal routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications, or other instructions you provide. I also understand that every dog has their own personality, and I’ll take the time to learn what makes yours feel comfortable and happy. You can expect dependable care, great communication, plenty of updates and photos, and lots of attention for your pup. I’d love to meet you and your dog and help give you peace of mind while you’re away! I work fully remote from home, which gives me a lot of flexibility throughout the day and makes pet care fit very naturally into my routine. I’m able to be present for regular walks, potty breaks, feeding times, playtime, and plenty of attention throughout the day rather than leaving a dog alone for long stretches. Because my schedule is flexible, I can also adjust around each dog’s normal routine and specific needs. Whether your pup is staying with me, needs a daytime visit, or just benefits from some extra company and attention, I’m able to make their care a consistent part of my day. When caring for pets in my home, I do my best to make them feel comfortable, safe, and part of the family. Since I work remotely, I’m able to be home with them throughout much of the day for regular potty breaks, walks, feeding, playtime, and plenty of attention. I also make sure to follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible and will learn about their personality, preferences, and any special instructions before their stay. Because we have our own dog, Baker, I prefer to do a meet-and-greet before boarding whenever possible so we can make sure the dogs are comfortable together. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I’m respectful of both their home and their pet’s established routine. I’ll follow all instructions for feeding, walks, medications, playtime, and any other care needs, while making sure their pet receives plenty of attention and companionship. For either type of care, communication is very important to me. I’m happy to provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is happy and well cared for while you’re away.

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: My genuine passion for animals and my lifelong dream about having my own dogs finally came true when I welcomed my own pups into my family. I have firsthand experience with the daily care, attention and patience that pets need to thrive. My genuine passion for animals and my lifelong dream about having my own dogs finally came true when I welcomed my own pups into my family. Beyond caring for my own dogs, I volunteer with a local animal shelter for a “Dogs Day Out” program where I take shelter dogs on outside to provide socialization, exercise and enrichment. These experiences alone have strengthened my understanding of dogs with many personalities and needs, allowing me to provide compassionate, attentive, and reliable care for every pet I get to meet. :) I work in the emergency department, so my schedule varies, but my partner and I live together so generally when I am not home he is there, and vice versa. When I’m not at work, I will spend all my time with your pet, taking them on walks, to dog parks, to get pup cups, etc, whatever you as the owner allow or prefer! I have a fenced in yard at my home, so dogs can be off leash to exercise, use the potty, and play time. During their stay in my home, they are welcome to be free roaming, not in crates, unless owners would prefer crates.

About: I’ve had pets my entire life and taken care of them by myself as well as helping friends and family care for theirs when they were away. My schedule is pretty open but changes day to day. I’m happy to try to work around your schedule! If I happen to be booked, I hope you keep me in mind next time! I am unable to have pets in my apartment unfortunately because my cat does not like other animals. I am only able to care for pets inside your home or outside.

About: I have been around pets all my life's and mostly cats/dogs. I became a pet sitter and pet groomer after high school when I noticed i loved being around animals all the time. I feel more relaxed with a dog than I do meeting a new friend. Dogs and cats have been there when I needed them most. While working with pets I got to know basic training, puppy care and senior care too in my grooming classes I went too. Over time I expanded to groom snalled pets such as ferrets, guinea pigs, and small birds. I wake up around 8-9am feed my fur babies and then eat breakfast. 10am to 12pm clean any mess they made or clean around house. 1-2pm feed and eat lunch. 3pm-4pm watch a show or movie and cuddle on the couch with fur babies. 5-6pm start feeding dinner. 6-7pm go for a walk around the block. 8-9pm get ready for bed. I love having fur babies with me. They are more loving then people sometimes. I've had a dog, a cat, a rabbit and a ferret. My dream is to have a small farm one day.

Brittany was fantastic! She was so thorough and sent great updates and photos for each visit - I was able to relax on our trip knowing that she had everything handled. This was our first trip away from our recently adopted dog, so I was a little nervous about how she would do, but she warmed up immediately to Brittany (which was impressive!) and I could tell by all the photos that she was relaxed and happy. Will absolutely be booking with Brittany again!

FAQs for Dog Sitting - Richmond Heights

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Sitting in Richmond Heights on Rover is $20.54 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog 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 Dog Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of September 2026, there are 2,299 sitters on Rover offering Dog 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.

Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Richmond Heights choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!

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 dog, 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.

While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

To find sitters in Richmond Heights with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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
  • 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 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.
