“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!”
“Jasmin agreed to watch our cats for two weeks while we went on vacation. I was quite nervous as it was our first time using rover and we have some finicky cats. I was very worried initially as i have a senior cat with some health issues and my other is very shy and quick to refuse food when stressed. She was very confident when we met her and when we introduced her to the cats both of them immediately took to her. This was a first for us as again my one cat has never been so friendly upon meeting someone for the first time but I genuinely believe it was because she has a fantastic personality and animal handling skills. For two weeks she was prompt and clear with her communication and took great photos that made me feel comfortable about my cats' condition. Of course, there were also funny moments she was able to capture which really put me at ease. She was able to identify their patterns of behavior and made notes on it. I appreciate her thoughtfulness on refilling their litter and water fountain. The most memorable thing she did for us was when we were delayed an extra day coming back for our vacation she was completely understanding and agreed to watch the cats on such extremely short notice. If I ever have to get a pet sitter again I know that she will be my first choice going forward. Thank you Jasmin!!”
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.
“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 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’ve always loved animals and have experience caring for both dogs and cats. I have a dog of my own and have had cats in the past, so I understand how much our pets become part of the family. I’ve also cared for friends’ pets for anywhere from a single day to several days at a time. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, giving pets attention, and keeping them on their normal routine. I know it can be hard leaving your pets with someone else, so I want them to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while they’re in my care. I love to keep you updated with pictures and messages so you can have peace of mind knowing your fur baby is doing well. I’m currently a stay-at-home mom to a 3 month old infant, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to spend plenty of time caring for pets. I have a dog of my own, so having pets as part of my daily routine feels very natural to me. I’m able to make time throughout the day for feeding, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and attention. I’m also happy to follow your pet’s usual routine as closely as possible so they feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away. I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet. As a stay-at-home mom, I’m able to give pets plenty of attention and supervision throughout the day. I’ll treat your pet like one of my own, follow your instructions and their normal routine, and make sure they are safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I’m also respectful of each pet’s individual personality and will give them affection and attention while allowing them space when they need it.
“Pondz is a wonderful dog sitter. She is punctual, dependable, flexible, has great communication and our dog seemed to enjoy the extra lovings with each visit. I like that she takes pictures and provides a narrative of the visit. We are very pleased. And, if we go out of town again then we will definitely reach out to Pondz again. Thank you for your time and efforts.”
“Brandy was great! She was super responsive to all my messages and willing to take care of the extra silly things, like bringing in the Amazon packages. My kitties hide, so mostly she just needed to check on their food and water, but she was great about it and I felt they were in good hands. Will definitely use Brandy 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: You can expect compassionate and dedicated care for your furry family member. Having on and off experience with dogs and cats, volunteering at animal shelters, and my best friend being a vet... I am confidently someone you can trust. I am currently off for the summer and have a really flexible schedule to play with your pups and kits. I would honestly prefer to know what your fur family's schedule is-routine is good. I will follow the specific instructions you set. That would be important to me also if my fur babies were still with me. I am currently apartment living, so my care would consist of visits and walks.
About: As a lifelong animal lover and pet owner, I know how important it is to find someone you trust with your pets. I have previous pet sitting experience through ........, caring for both dogs and cats with overnight stays and drop-in visits, and I treat every pet like they’re my own. I’ll take the time to learn your pet’s routine and provide the care they need, whether that’s walks, playtime, feeding, potty breaks, cuddles, or medication with instructions. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. My goal is to make sure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved until you’re back home. I work full-time during the week, so I’m available for evening drop-in visits and walks after work, as well as weekends. I understand the importance of consistency and will do my best to accommodate your pet’s routine whenever possible. My availability is updated regularly, and I’ll always communicate promptly about scheduling. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a secure fenced yard where dogs can safely play, and my friendly Husky, Yunaleska(Yuna Tuna), loves having canine companions. Because Yuna is not spayed, I require male dogs staying in my home to be neutered for everyone’s safety and comfort. My cats are accustomed to dogs and generally prefer to relax in their own space. I’ll follow your pet’s routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and any medication instructions. Whether your pet is staying with me or I’m caring for them in your home, you’ll receive regular photo and message updates so you can relax knowing they’re safe, happy, and well cared for.

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!

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.

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 .
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 .

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.
