“Jeffrey took care of our big 15lb cat, Amor. Jefferey was fantastic and even managed to get Amor to eat treats out of his hand! I can't even get Amor to do that. He was wonderful and we would definitely have Jeffery come back when we go out of town again to take care of our Kitty. Thank you Jefferey!”

About: Hi there! My name is Anya and I am a college student in NYC. All my life I have been surrounded by dogs and cats. Feeding and walking animals have been a part of my daily routine since I can remember. In my hometown, I frequently house sat and dealt with old, young and sick pets with care and feel comfortable doing so. Since moving to the city, I miss my dogs terribly, so I know this will be enjoyable work for me! I am an extremely Covid conscious person, triple vaccinated and continue to take precautions.I am available to house sit, do check-in’s and dog walks. My schedule differs each weekday, so I would be happy to discuss and figure out a time that works. Please message me if you have any interest or questions. Take care! I work around my school schedule, which differs every day. I am available weekdays after my classes which end at 3 PM Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, 4 PM Mondays and 7PM Thursdays. I am quite flexible so feel free to message me with any questions. I am a very trustworthy and respectful person. I am very attentive to each client's rules within their own home. I know that every animal is unique and will follow care-taking instructions diligently as if they were my own pet.

“Rachel is a wonderful dogwalker! I have a shy rescue chihuahua mix named Benny. Despite typically being slow to open up to new people, he is clearly obsessed with Rachel and has gained a lot of confidence since walking with her and the other dogs. I would recommend Rachel to anyone and hope to continue to have her work with Benny in the future. Thanks Rachel!!”

About: I've been caring for animals in different capacities for at least a year, and being a cat owner myself has shown me how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet. Our pets are family, and they deserve to be treated with the same love and attention we give them ourselves. I have experience walking dogs, as well as caring for cats with specific needs. Specifically, with my own cat who has kidney disease and eats prescription food. Additionally, I have experience administering medication (through food as well as by syringe). My goal is to provide every pet with compassionate, reliable care while giving owners peace of mind that their furry family members are in good hands. My schedule is currently very flexible for the summer, allowing me to accommodate a variety of booking needs. Before any service, I'd love to schedule a meet-and-greet so we can get to know each other, discuss your pet's routine and needs, and ensure we're a great fit. I want you to feel completely comfortable and confident that your pet will be in caring, reliable hands. When your pet is with me, they'll receive plenty of affection, playtime, and personalized care based on their needs and personality. I also believe in keeping pet parents updated, so you can expect regular messages, along with adorable photos and videos, to let you know how your furry friend is doing and how their walk or visit is going.

About: Growing up, I had the joy of loving and caring for an 80-pound, goofy, American Pitt Bull Terrier, named Meryn. Throughout my high school years, he was my constant companion, playing catch at the East River Park on the Lower East Side of Manhattan. We would jog across the Williamsburg Bridge and run up and down the stairwell in my apartment building to burn off energy (we lived on the 11th floor). He was an incredibly curious boy, who made training fun. He was very motivated by treats and praise. Through repetition and treats he learned all the basic commands. I have petsat many times for family members over the years. Pets included are dogs (large and small breeds) cats, hamsters, and a bearded dragon once. My longest dogsitting experience lasted 3 weeks with my aunt’s pug, Coco Rico, while my aunt was on vacation. During this time, Rico had an ear infection and I had to administer his ear drops. Being a pug, I had to ensure his eyes and face folds were clean. I have catsit for my brother’s diabetic cat, Tuna Fish, on several occasions. I administered insulin injections daily. I learned how to measure the proper dosage and how to safely/comfortably give her the injections. She was diagnosed with diabetes in 2020, so it was not easy learning how to give a cat a shot via a Zoom call with the vet! But learning this and helping my brother with the insulin injections, kept Tuna going for 4 more years after diagnosis. This is by far the most medical care experience I have had with pets. Nowadays, I regularly borrow my Gen Z daughter’s dog, Espresso. He’s a Pomeranian-Chihuahua mix, and my favorite little guy. My grandpup, if you will. With this past winter being a very cold one in NYC, I ensured to dress Espresso in his sweater, coat, and boots for his walks. I do photo shoots with him while on walks, during play time, and naps. I update her with anecdotes throughout the day, such as mentioning any puppy pals we ran into while out and anything funny or adorable he’s done. She even recently said to me, “You take the most wonderful pictures of him.” That truly warmed my heart because I love capturing him in different places and poses. My pet baby now is an American short hair cat with calico patterned fur, named Basil (aka Ms. Lady Boop Boop). She’s a 16 year old, still feisty gal, who has a favorite fishy toy that dangles from a wand. Being a senior, she has developed arthritis in her old age and now makes use of cushioned stairs to get on the couch/bed. She also needs an eye ointment, the application of which has become part of our daily routine. In the past, when she has been ill, I've also given her medicine in liquid form via syringe as well as getting her to swallow a pill. Additionally, I took care of a feral cat that would visit me now and then. My family has a home in Albany, in upstate New York, and I'm happy to board dogs up there for weekends or extended stays should a pet parent allow it. The feral cat that would visit me was in Albany and would appear randomly in our backyard. I fed and watered him whenever he came by. He was deaf and the sweetest guy, who loved rubs and to hang out on our deck. He had an extra digit on each front paw, so I dubbed him Thumbs. One day, when he visited, I noticed immediately that he had fleas on him. I gave him a bath a kiddy tub in my backyard with flea shampoo. I bought the flea comb and collar and got rid of those pesky bugs. I know he was grateful because he'd been scratching so hard, his fur was missing in some places. I am a visual artist and writer, working from home, so my weekdays are flexible. I set my own schedule working on my projects so I can easily accommodate different pet types and time slots for care. I occasionally travel to my family home in Albany, upstate New York, but I always plan that ahead of time and I am happy to board pets up there if the pet parent is open to that option. I live in a 2-bedroom apartment in Brooklyn, NYC. I am located on the 3rd (and top) floor of a walk-up building. I have a senior, female cat, who is very relaxed and sleeps most of the day. There is no outdoor space here, but there are local parks nearby, including a dog run. I also have a house upstate, in Albany, NY. There is plenty of space for running around here, including a backyard. We are currently having a fence put in and I will update this when it is installed.

About: I have plenty of patience tolerance and adaptability and with no pets right now and really miss having a little sweetie around. I have lovingly cared for ill and elderly fur kids. Sober since 1996 so no exposure to smoking, drugs or alcohol in my care. Meditating twice daily for decades and find it also makes for a nice peaceful environment. Fur kids love curling up in my lap for meditation time and it can help regulate their little nervous system too. I mostly work remotely so my schedule is pretty flexible and I have a lap available while in my office. I also walk a few miles a day to avoid my lap getting too big. If you see anything that might be limiting in my profile - feel free to ask and see if I can accommodate or make any exceptions. Im pretty flexible with accommodating fur kids. If they are used to crating to feel safe its not a problem but if crating is not necessary that's fine.

About: I understand how nerve wracking it may be to leave your pet with someone new. Thankfully, I am here to assure you that your dog will be reliably taken care of while you are away. I am more than happy to arrange a meet and greet and will send multiple updates and photos throughout your dog's stay so you can enjoy your vacation and time away from your pet at ease! I've taken care of many friends and family dogs throughout the years when their owners would go on vacations. I have experience taking care of multiple dogs at once where I walked them, played, and fed their pets for many weeks. I finally found my forever furend, Romeo who is now a 7-month-old pomsky! Romeo is playful and loving. He will be a great companion to your furry friend during their stay with us! I am working from home and I am very flexible on taking your pets on walks throughout the day. I have a private rooftop I can bring them to, a nice quiet neighborhood area to walk around and there is a dog park 25 minutes away. Any and all instructions you leave for me will be followed with the utmost care to keep your little buddy happy! My daycare services are from 9 am - 6 pm daily; the cut-off time for boarding services is by 6 pm daily. My dog-friendly apartment building has a private balcony where your fur baby can enjoy the fresh breeze throughout the day. I also have an amazing, beautiful rooftop that has fake grass where your pet will enjoy running around! I have provided a photo of the gorgeous private rooftop below. I have a spacious 2 bedroom apartment that is clean, mopped, and vacuumed daily. Your pet will have a private and quiet area to rest and spend their day happily!

“Eleni was WONDERFUL with my 2 cats!!! I will definitely be hiring her again!!! Mochi has diabetes and requires an insulin injection every 12 hours in addition to another medication twice a week and Eleni was happy to learn and able to give Mochi his meds which can be a bit daunting and sometimes difficult depending on his mood. but Eleni was attentive and really took the time to learn and care for him properly! my other cat Kumo is a scaredy baby and rarely shows his face around people but Eleni was patient and really put effort into getting him comfortable with her. Eleni updated me with great details about how they’re doing and food. the weather was changing every day from being very cold and then very hot and Eleni proactively adjusted the thermostat accordingly when needed! she would turn on cat TV every couple days AND put treats in their treat games daily so they would stay occupied during the day. Mochi had an accident and Eleni didn't hesitate to clean it up and take out the trash. she really took care of everything!”

About: Hi! I’m Wendy, and I love puppies. I speak fluent Spanish and have a basic command of English, enough to communicate with owners and—in case of an emergency—with the vet. I use a translation app on my phone if needed to ensure communication is always clear. Although I don’t have professional certification, I’ve looked after dogs for family and friends my whole life. I know how important your puppy is to you. I will treat your puppy as if it were my own. What I offer: Lots of affection and personalized attention • Safe walks using a harness and leash • Photos and updates during every visit • Full respect for your routine: meals, medication, and schedules • Spotless, smoke-free home • I live in Ozone Park, close to parks My experience: • Caring for small and medium-sized dogs • Shy or senior dogs—I have plenty of patience • Administering oral medication if needed • I work from home, so your dog won't be left alone. For me, the most important thing is your peace of mind and your dog's happiness. Your dog will get all my attention, playtime with toys, and sweet dreams on a cozy bed. I can't wait to meet your furry best friend! My routine begins with dropping my daughter off at school and returning home; during this time, I can look after, play with, bathe, and walk the dogs, and in the afternoon, I pick my daughter up from school. I can also walk the dogs in the afternoon because my husband stays with my daughter. I live in a large apartment where the puppy can play; I don't have a yard, but I live close to a park, so I can take him there so we can play.

About: I have had and cared for pets my entire life, including two VERY different cats at my parents' house, occasional house sitting for a senior dog, and my current client, a bunny! I'll be there for all the basic needs, from food and water to bathroom breaks or litterbox cleaning. During the summer, I'm pretty much always available! I will be on vacation from July 20-25, but other than that I'm open. Once my classes start in September I'll probably be limited to afternoons and weekends, and maybe Friday mornings. My house is very quiet and I have a cat, but I can keep her away from your pet if needed. I have plenty of quiet streets to walk dogs on, and I'm great at cleaning litterboxes.

Emily has been Coco’s regular dog walker for quite some time, and we truly could not have asked for someone better. She is incredibly reliable, trustworthy, communicative, and most importantly, genuinely cares about Coco. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing that when we were at work, Coco was with someone we completely trusted. Emily was always dependable, kept us updated after their walks, and treated Coco like she was her own. Coco absolutely loves her, which says everything! We’re only parting ways because Emily received an amazing full-time opportunity, otherwise we would happily have kept her as Coco’s walker for years to come. Anyone who has the opportunity to have Emily care for their pet will be incredibly lucky. We’re going to miss her so much and can’t recommend her highly enough. ❤️🐾

Booked Charlie for a last minute 1 hour drop-in visit, due to unexpected/urgent appointments that took me out for the day. My pup is a recently adopted rescue with some reactivity and other idiosyncrasies, and I wasn’t comfortable leaving her with an unknown boarder or daycare. I was upfront about Lala’s issues-in-progress and Charlie was gracious, accommodating and communicative. During the hour-long visit, he sent plenty of photos and met my pup where she was at. Visit went smoothly and I was able to focus on my rather stressful day without having to worry too much about her. Thanks again.

Carolina is AMAZING! I just recently moved into my apartment, and was anxious about finding someone to take care of my dog (Staffie mix) and my cat - both senior pets - during a trip to visit family. I'm so glad I chose Carolina, she was absolutely fantastic - extremely professional, caring, and communicative throughout the visit, and I could tell from the first photo she sent that my pets were in great hands. The neighbors in my new building also had great things to say about her once I returned. I'm so grateful for her expert care, and definitely plan to book her again. Highly recommended!

Joey was amazeballs! It was my first week back to work, after moving into a new place, and day one Astro was having bad separation anxiety. As soon as I reached out, I was chatted back within minutes and Joey met Astro that evening. We started noon time visits/walks immediately the next day, and by the end of the week Astro was in love with him and settled. Joey helped Astro through his lonely week, and also gave my cat Luna some pets when she finally arrived to our new home a few days later. Joey and Rover.com were such a great help during a time when I was in need. I am highly happy with my choice.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Sitting in Richmond Hill is $26 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $19 and $27 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 26,209 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Richmond Hill. 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 Hill 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 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.

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 Hill 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 Hill. On Rover:

  • 83% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 88% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 94% 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 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.
