“Octavia took great care of our 2 cats while we were in a quick trip. Great communication and went above and beyond taking care of little things too! Would definitely recommend Octavia!”
“Andra was awesome and took great care of our 2 cats while we were away for six days. I don't even think our cats even missed us. We would definitely use her again for our next trip. Highly recommend!”
About: I grew up around dogs and cats all my life. Getting my first dog Truffles five years ago and added four cats since then to our family! I am taking my final class online and besides that I’m very free. I live my long-time girlfriend who would be able to take care of my pets at home if I needed to stay the night. I can easily drive to any areas in the Savannah area. I have safely walked and take care of many dogs of all sizes. I will treat your pets like my own no matter the species.
About: Hello, I’m Tabitha! . I’ve had pets ever since I was a small child and love all animals, no matter how small or big! I do have experience house sitting/dog sitting and have references available! I’ve also been a dog foster mom, tackling on 9 puppies at one time! And with me caring for your beloved pet you’ll never have to worry about them being mistreated! I am extremely reliable and flexible, and here to help you in any way possible! Thank you in advance if you chose me as the caretaker of your furry family member. I work overnights Monday-Thursday, so I’m available to do walks/drop ins between 6 am and 4pm those days. And my schedule is open for either on Fridays-Saturdays. I follow all the rules and boundaries you have set for your pet to ensure that they are kept safe. And always make sure leashes are on before we go outside.
About: Hi! My name is Meg and here's a little bit about my experience as a pet sitter. I have been pet sitting for friends and family since 2021, cats and dogs both. That has meant everything from the easy stuff, feeding and walks and company, to the parts people actually worry about: giving medications on schedule, keeping up with monthly preventatives, and handling the unglamorous days when a dog has an upset stomach and needs watching. I have done the 2am cleanup and the anxious pacing by the door. None of it fazes me. One sit still stands out to me. A family friend needed someone last minute to care for their two dogs, who both had colds, while they were away for a week. They were understandably worried about leaving sick dogs behind. I stayed with the pair day and night, giving every dose of medication on time and just being there with them through it. By the time their owners got home, both dogs were one step away from a full recovery. That week is a good example of what I bring to a sit: I don't just check in, I stay present until the job is actually done right. I am happy to handle whatever your pet needs: boarding at my place, house sitting at yours, drop-in visits, walks, medication, or anything else specific to your routine. Just tell me what normal looks like for them and I will hold it as close as I can while you're away. I have also fostered cats and dogs, which gave me practice with nervous animals and slow, careful introductions. My own dog Lady came to me as a foster and never left. She is 5 years old, lab mix and an easygoing host. She would be the only other pet your dog is around. I'm currently working part-time so your pet will have to be alone for 5-6 hours only 2 to 3 days a week. My working days are also quite flexible so I can work it out according to your pet's needs! Either my home or yours, I will match your baby's routine and needs. Same feeding times, walk schedules, rules around furniture and crates. In your home, I will keep to your house rules and keep the space as you expect it when you're back! My home is quiet and pet friendly, with a fenced yard, walking routes in the neighborhood and a metal crate is available if your dog prefers one. Introductions with my dog, Lady will happen slowly and on neutral ground, and I do not leave dogs unsupervised together until I know how they get along. You will get many updates and photos while your pet is with me.
About: I have loved animals for as long as I can remember. I started pet sitting at ten years old and absolutely fell in love with providing quality care to other's fur-babies! I have extensive experience in petsitting cats and dogs of all sizes and ages from puppies/kittens to seniors. I have experience with administering medications, as well as experience with dogs with disabilities who just need a little extra TLC! I adore caring for these babies whether it be through walking, playing, or just getting in some snuggles! I am currently a college student with class only on Mondays and Wednesdays, so I have plenty of time during the week and weekend to provide care! I like to start my mornings early, but I can also be a night owl, so I am very flexible with time and am happy to help when I am needed. Although I am in college and cannot provide care in my home, I am more than happy to come over and care for the pets in a clients home! I am fully aware of the fact a new visitor can be nerve wracking or stressful for some pets, so I always take it slow and make sure that your baby is 100% comfortable. All pets are different and some take more time to warm up than others, so I am very patient and perfectly happy to meet your pet where they are. :)
About: I own my own pet care business and am also insured! :) I am also a stay-at-home-mom, so if your request is during the week he may be with me if it’s between 3:30-5pm for a drop in visit. I have owned and cared for dogs since I was a child. I have experience with all different kinds of breeds, ages, and personality types! I am familiar with fear-reactive dogs and don’t get intimidated by any breed. Husband says I can’t get anymore animals, so this is my happy compromise! I have 4 rescue pups of my own and a four-year-old, so I’m always up for an adventure! 🙃🐕🐈⬛ I’m a business owner and stay-at-home mom who loves all animals! My schedule is flexible! I have plenty of experience with furry animals- dogs and cat obviously. I’ve also owned chinchillas, rats, crested and leopard geckos, and ball pythons. So, if you happen to have any of those I’m happy to help too! I will abide by your recommendations and rules for your pets! After all, YOU know your babies best. I own 4 dogs of my own and I know how hard it is to trust someone. You will be the first to know if something has gone awry, and if I don’t know an answer I’m not afraid to ask!

“Angel was great with the dogs. Great communication a weekend! Took the time to write an update every visit and took lots of photos. Would definitely re-book and highly recommend! Thank you!!”
About: I have been pet / house sitting for the past 4 years throughout college. I have provided in-home care for dogs with separation anxiety, as well as cared for multiple larger dogs at once. I can make it happen! I currently work part time so afternoons (after 1pm) are almost always available. Mornings would need a week or two notice in advance. This includes weekends as well. I currently live in a studio with my own cat. Smaller dogs are welcome but arrangements would need to be made for a larger dog.
“Alexis was wonderful! I’m very pleased with her communication—she kept me informed and gave me such peace of mind while I was away. She took great care of Noah and Mercy, and it truly showed. I would definitely book with her again!”
“Highly recommend Timothy! I needed last minute help with my 2 pups (lab and great dane) and it was perfect! The boys were taken care of and happy! Great communication and on time for my appointment! I will be using him again for sure!!!!! 10 🌟!!!!!”
About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life. I currently have one dog here in savannah named Pax, and have raised and cared for my two childhood dogs, Buddy and Brownie, along with occasional sitting for my aunts three legged disabled dog named Wags, giving me hands-on experience with daily routines, behavior, and long-term care. I also have taken care of a cat full time for a year so I have experience with cats as well. I’m comfortable with feeding, walking, playtime, and making sure every animal feels safe and cared for. I treat every pet like my own and pay close attention to their individual needs, whether they’re energetic or more relaxed. I’m currently a student at SCAD, but I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time to pet care. I’m available on weekends and weekdays before or after my classes, with lots of time in the afternoons and evenings for walks, playtime, and attention. I provide a safe, calm, and loving environment where pets feel comfortable and cared for. I’ve been around dogs my whole life and have hands-on experience caring for cats as well. I pay close attention to each pet’s behavior and routine, and I always follow owner instructions carefully. I can crate if needed, keep spaces clean, and make sure pets are always supervised, secure, and happy.
About: I've taken care of dogs for 3 years; I have owned dogs myself in the past and began pet sitting when I was 15, and I care for all breeds and sizes. I have trained two of my own dogs in the past: a long-haired Chihuahua and a Labrador retriever. I care for all dogs and pets as if they were my own. Pets are extensions of our bloodline, and I truly understand that I'm currently a College student, and I fit in pet-sitting between my classes and during my weekends. At my school, we have Fridays off so I have a full weekend to have time to care for pets! I currently live in a dorm room with roommates on my college campus, so I am not offering pet services at my house at this moment due to space.
About: I have been pet sitting dogs and cats since I was very young and am passionate about caring for and saving animals of all breeds! I am currently a college student who attends school 3-4 days a week. However this doesn’t not affect my pet care because I prioritize any potential clients and can balance work and life! I make sure to give lots of love, attention, cuddles, and play time with any animal of any size. I am big on treat giving!

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Richmond Hill
Highly recommend Meredith! She was very sweet and loved hanging out with my pup Jesse and cat Walter. Took lots of pics of both which was great! Will definitely use her again when I need someone to check in on them. She even stopped by the day before to meet them both real quick!
Leaving your gang is always tough when you have aging pets who require extra love and attention. We have two senior dogs and one very old cat, so I was incredibly nervous about being away for an entire week. Thankfully, we found Jessica, and she was absolutely amazing! From the very start, she understood exactly how to care for our older crew. Every single day, she kept us completely in the loop with a million silly photos of our gang getting treats, snuggling up, and playing. Seeing them so happy and relaxed completely took away all our travel anxiety. Jessica went above and beyond to make sure our sweet seniors were comfortable, loved, and well-cared for. We couldn't have asked for a better pet sitter. 10/10—we will absolutely be booking her again!

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Richmond Hill is $17 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $11 and $30 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.

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 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 Meet & Greet.

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 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.
