“Gabrielle was great, I wish I could give more stars! It was last minute as we couldn't take our Dior on our trip, so I was really worried as we had never left her with anyone before. But Gabrielle put our minds at ease while on vacation. She also kept great communication with us!! I would definitely be booking with her again!!”
“Meredith is amazing!! My dog was immediately comfortable with her and gets excited to see her every time she comes. She takes tons of pictures of my pup every visit, and reaches out with updates. Meredith is 100% someone you can count on!”
“Jessica was great with our senior large dogs and super flexible with our schedule. Communication was easy, and we felt totally comfortable leaving our crew in her care. We came home to happy, relaxed dogs and couldn’t ask for more. Highly recommend Jessica and would happily book with her again!”
“Jen and I met a few weeks before hand for a meet n greet. I instantly loved her. She is so sweet and caring. I just knew my kitten would be in good hands over the holiday. She came over daily and provided feedback as well as pics. I will definitely call Jen next time I have to go out of town!”
“We are very grateful of Pamela! A week before our actual vacation we had a family member pass away and we had to leave quickly and Pam was just as quick to come our aid. We will definitely use her again on our extended stays away from home for her to Hades and Wonks!! We highly recommend her!!”
“Jarad did a great job taking care of our two cats. We asked for daily drop-ins to feed them and scoop the litterbox. He is very mature, friendly, and reliable. While we didn't ask for daily pictures, he sent one anyway which was kind. We had to ask him to go above cat sitting and to bring in our mail as the USPS was not holding it as we requested. He kindly helped us out with that too. He provided A+ service and care and we are very pleased.”
“Emily was very flexible with our schedule from the very first meeting and since. This was our first time using Emily. We would definitely consider her again; should the need arise.”
“Octavia was great! My family is so happy to have found her! She took excellent care of our fur and shell babies. She made sure the pets were very well cared for. She also was very professional made sure their kitty boxes, feeding spaces, etc were clean and swept. She showed up on time, communicated extremely well, and provided pictures each time (of all the pets, even the ones hiding!). We was a pleasure to work with and made me feel completely assured that my babies were safe and taken care of while we were gone! We highly recommend her, and will request her again the next time we travel! Thank you so much, Octavia! 🥰🐈⬛🐈🐕🦺🐢❤️”
“Macie is amazing! She is super communicative and timely, and our boy Sammy was so excited to make new friends in her and her son. She sent plenty of photos, and it was so great to see how well Sammy was doing during her drop-ins. This was our first time using Rover and we highly recommend Macie for your furry friend’s needs!”
About: I’ve helped raise and take care of dogs since I was 10 or so. We’ve had several litters of puppies that we had to raise and get rehomed as well as various animals to include cats, dogs, and smaller animals like guinea pigs and hamsters. Each animal has its own personality and that makes working with them so special. I have flexibility to stop in the middle of the day during the work week to check in on your pet and provide the care needed on a daily basis. I also have open availability on the weekends and evenings to check in as needed. I try to treat each animal how I would like my animals to be treated. They are alive and have personalities that should be tailored to the approach you give the pets. That’s my philosophy.

“Angela came to watch our dogs on short notice. She was great! This was the first time we had someone watch our dogs other than our family so we were a little nervous to leave them. Angela came to our house to meet our fur babies and we instantly felt comfortable. She was very diligent letting them out and stayed with them for a full 30+ mins when she would do drop ins which was appreciated. Overall, great experience! Thanks Angela!”
“Jacqueline is the only pet sitter and dog walker I trust with my 2 dogs and 5 cats. My two huge doodles absolutely love her and she is fantastic with them. She also did drop-in visits for my cats for the past week while I went on vacation. She wrote extremely detailed notes for each visit and sent me some really cute pictures of my kitties. She did a thorough job getting care instructions for the cats and was always prompt and very communicative with each visit. I am so glad I found such a fantastic pet sitter in my area!!”
“Alexis is good at what she does. She always takes good care of my fur baby and takes him on walks. She keeps me updated during the visits as well. Alexis is our go-to dog sitter. Highly recommend”

I'm currently a stay at home mom with all 4 children in school. I would love to help out with the free time I now have.

“All I have to say is if you need a pet sitter for you cats or dogs or both and you want peace of mind while gone Mackenzie is who you should book. She was amazing and kept us in formed multiple times throughout the day giving updates and sending pictures. She even administered medicine to two of our cats multiple times a day. She was absolutely phenomenal and we will definitely be using her from now on when we go out of town. We HIGHLY recommended her to care for your fur babies if want someone who would care for them the same way you would !”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Richmond Hill
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Richmond Hill on Rover is $16.65 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

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 Hill. On Rover:

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.
