“Highly recommend this sitter! Elizabeth was communicative and friendly. My kitty loved her. Made me feel much better about being away from him. Thanks again!”
“Jade is professional, dependable and was great with our Shih Tzu and Weimaraner. She took her time with our babies and we could not thank her enough for helping out on short notice. Will definitely be a repeat customer!”
“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.”
“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!”
About: I’m a student at UWG, sadly I couldn’t take my dogs with me but I’m hoping rover opens up an opportunity for me to still be around animals! I have pet sit multiple times before for friends but have never signed up for an app, I’m excited to get started! I’m currently in school, but only for around 4 hours a day so I am very flexible and have plenty of time to care for your pets! If I am house sitting, I will walk them through whatever routine is told to me, and be sure to play with them often. I will make sure all of the doors are locked when entering and leaving the house, and make sure all belongings stay safe.
“First time doing a drop in and I’m very satisfied! Angela came and met with me and my dogs prior to the drop in. I have 3 Doberman and they all took to her immediately. She is very flexible and professional. She even sent pictures of them playing outside. I’ve already booked my next drop in! Thanks Angela!”
“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!!”
“Jacqueline was wonderful and better than we could ever hoped for. Every aspect helped these helicopter dog parents feel better about leaving our beloved and special pups. She has a warmth and care that our dogs immediately responded to. She was generous with her time and kept us updated throughout her visit. She’s just great, and we just don’t say that about most. Thank you, Jacqueline!!!”
About: I've been pet sitting for over ten years and am trusted by several families in the area! My home is loving, warm, and will provide a safe and happy atmosphere for your pet. I only ask that you are honest about your furry friend. I can’t board pets with behavioral issues, fleas, chewing habits, or that aren’t safe around children. Thank you! I only schedule boarding and doggy daycare services on days that I will be home (unless taking child to school/dropping off, or running a quick errand). My focus is on one family at a time, so I never have pets from multiple homes under my care at once. Your pet will receive the love and attention they deserve. My care is loving, nurturing, and intuitive. I am able to pick up on your pets energy and decide how to move forward from there. Some pets are anxious or excited, and others need space. Regardless of personality and needs, your pet is ALWAYS safe with me.
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.
“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”
About: *Booked Monday-Fridays 11-11:30am* I’ve watched family and friends animals over the years. I’m dependable and always feel bad leaving the animals alone. I’ve taken care of my diabetic cat for 13 years, at one point having to give her daily shots so I understand how much work and love goes into our animals. My sister also has a golden, who is full of energy and loves to snuggle. Aunty duties were big when we lived close to each other! I’d hope a daily walk or visit would help cheer them up when owners have to go to work, vacation, etc. I’m practically always in town so feel free to reach out to find out more info/availability!! I’m currently unemployed. I recently quit my job to be able to have more downtime and get rid of a lot of stress so this is a transition time for me! I think it is important to always keep a dog on a leash in any open environment that other dogs or people may be. It’s important to pay attention to your animals to see how they react towards different environments. It’s always important to just show them love too!
“Requested service same day within one hour during a storm she came to my house to care for my dogs. Outstanding service 💯 recommend her. Very friendly and easy to get in contact with.”
“Even though he was unable to get in my house because I gave him the wrong key, he still checked on Cooky and Butler to make sure they were safe. Thank you so much for your dedication. I can't wait to schedule you again.”
“Emily jumped in and helped save the day when the dog sitter I hired was not letting my dog outside for potty breaks in a timely manner. She worked well with me considering I had to do all coordinating while out of the state. My dog also seemed to bond quickly with Emily even though we didn't have a planned meet and greet beforehand. I would definitely hire Emily for future needs!”
“This is our second time working with Mackynzie, she has consistently been excellent in caring for our boys. She is communicative, takes great care of them, and always keeps us updated with plenty of pictures and videos throughout her visits. You can tell she actually cares for them and enjoys spending time with them. We have a lot of peace of mind whenever Mackynzie is watching our boys.”

Attentive and fun-loving (which is crucial for Indy)! Went above and beyond even offering to take care of some of the plants in my home. Apparently she has a green thumb with her whopping 150 plants at home. Definitely highly recommend her, especially considering this was a last-minute booking. Thanks Danielle!

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Richmond Hill on Rover is $19.98 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

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 Hill 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.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Richmond Hill. On Rover:

- 100% 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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
