About: I have a dog of my own (pappion) and have had him since I was about 9 years old! He is the dearest thing to me and I love him with my whole heart! Which I will be sure to give your pet all the love and attention he/she deserves!! I also used to have a siemeze kitten who sadly died of cancer. But I loved her to the moon and back and continue to! I am currently still looking for a job so right now, I'm all yours! Willing to chat and come up with ideas! I'm very flexible and easy going! Sadly, I am not planning on bringing your pets to my house. Due to liability and things. But I will gladly come over to your house and do what you need done!

About: I adore dogs, and I’ve been dogsitting and dog walking for the past 3-4 years. I also fostered two adorable dogs, both pittie mixes, from my local shelter earlier this year. I can’t wait to meet your dog! I’ll make sure you have nothing to worry about while you’re busy, working, or on vacation. I recently earned my master of public health, so my schedule is pretty flexible while I job hunt! I can do weekdays or weekends right now. You can give me a detailed schedule or just general rules for your dog—either is fine! I can communicate with you about how your dog is doing as much as you’d like, including pictures and information about their meals, etc.

About: Hi there! My name is Jada. I am 26 years old and i am a graduate from Horizon Science Academy High! All my life i’ve LOVED dogs. I’ve had different dogs growing up. When i was growing up, i found myself spending more time with my dogs than actual people. I would watch movies with them and play with them! They made me feel safe and warm! Dogs are way better than humans in my opinion! I can make conversations with them, make them feel loved, and most importantly, make sure they’re cared for! I believe that everyone needs a companion/bff, even animals! That’s where i come in! Allow me to care and love for your dog as i would for my own! We will for sure make memories! I’m currently working part-time, so I’ll have tons of time to play with your pups! I always make sure to give all of my attention to the pups! I do not have a secluded yard, however I do have open field areas for your pups to run around in! There are tons of other dogs in my complex that are very loving and friendly!

The Different pets I had where birds , fish , turtles, rabbits , dogs and cats. I’ve always prided myself on knowing the intricacies about the different breeds of animals and what makes them special or unique and what they require to be healthy and happy. Though I’ve had many breeds of animals I know I still have much to learn but one day I aspire to open a shelter or nonprofit organization for pets in need of a loving home. Trusting your animal with me I can Guarantee there safety and protection but also ensure that in my home will be equally as loved. I’m familiar with grooming techniques, administering shots for puppy’s and medicines a dog may require. I can also make sure that anything you may be teaching your pet will be carried out while in my care or any schedule you may have your dog on will be implemented also. I’m currently working part time so I’ll have plenty of time to play with your pups and walk then 4/5 times daily. Two long walks and two short walks and extra if the weather is nice or we are outside taking adventures. I prefer evening drop offs and pickups. I care for pets often. This is something I genuinely love to do. I like to follow the instructions owner give when taking care of their pets

About: As a lifelong animal lover, I understand that pets are family, and I strive to provide the same level of care, attention, and patience that I would want for my own. My background in healthcare has taught me how to be responsible, detail-oriented, and attentive to the unique needs of every individual, skills that translate naturally to pet care. I am comfortable caring for dogs of all ages, from energetic puppies who need patience and consistency to senior dogs who may require a gentler pace and extra attention. Whether it's daily walks, drop-in visits, feeding, administering oral medications, reinforcing basic training, or simply providing companionship, I prioritize your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness. I am currently a Master's student in Medical Physiology at Case Western Reserve University, which has helped me develop strong time-management, responsibility, and organizational skills. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine because I enjoy staying active and spending time with animals as a balance to my studies. Despite a busy academic schedule, I am very intentional about managing my time and maintaining commitments. Whether it's morning walks, midday drop-in visits, evening care, or weekend sitting, I enjoy incorporating pet care into my routine because it allows me to spend time outdoors and connect with animals while helping pet owners have peace of mind. Caring for pets is something I genuinely enjoy, and I treat every pet with patience, attentiveness, and compassion. As someone pursuing a career in healthcare, I value reliability, clear communication, and attention to detail, and I bring those same qualities to caring for your furry family members. I am committed to ensuring pets feel safe, comfortable, loved, and well cared for while their owners are away. When caring for pets in a client's home, I prioritize maintaining their normal routine to help them feel comfortable and secure while their owner is away. I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications, and any specific preferences or needs. I make sure pets receive plenty of attention, affection, exercise, and mental stimulation while also keeping their environment clean and safe. If providing care in my own home, I would ensure pets have a safe, clean, and comfortable environment with plenty of supervision, exercise, fresh water, and opportunities for play and rest. My goal is always to make pets feel as relaxed and loved as possible, whether they are in their own home or mine.

About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life, and I have an 18 year old pup at home! I’m very passionate about the quality of life for our furry friends, and can’t wait to meet yours! Safety and fun are my main priority. I’ve transitioned to pet care full time! If you’re looking for someone to spend extended periods of time with your furry companion, I’m your girl! On top of house sitting, I’m also available for walks and drop in visits. I always make sure to follow instructions left by owners as closely as possible. I want you and your pet to feel comfortable and at ease with my care! I do my best to keep dogs exercised as needed so you have a sleepy pup by the end of the 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 of Dog Sitting in Richmond Heights is $21 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $28 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of October 2026, there are 2,281 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Richmond Heights. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.

Before booking, confirm:

  • the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
  • the care instructions the sitter should follow;
  • which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
  • how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.

Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.

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 .

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 .

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:

  • 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 94% 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 , 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.
