“Christine was great. She was very communicative, the dogs loved her, even my cat did. Sent plenty of videos and pictures and made me feel as if my furry babies were in complete comfort and care. Would definitely recommend! We already booked her for another visit!”
“I couldn’t be happier with Alana! She was punctual, reliable, and took such great care of him. She made sure he was fed, stayed with him for a full hour, and spent time playing with him and giving him attention. It was so reassuring knowing he was happy, cared for, and in such good hands while I was away. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and dependable dog walker. Five stars without hesitation! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“My dog LOVES Donovan. They took to each other right away. I was leery about giving a total stranger the key to my house but I trust Donovan 100%. Now I can go to work and not worry about my dog waiting and suffering until I got home to relieve herself. He's the best!”
“Kathryn is a very reliable sitter who I can count on! My cat loves seeing her and was very well cared for during my time away. She and I hope to have Kathryn as a sitter again soon!”
“Carolina is wonderful. She did 2 drop in visits. She walked my dog. Fed him and spent time with him. She was receptive and easy to communicate with. Will definitely use her again to take care of our pup.”
About: What sets me apart is my patience, especially with shy or nervous pets. I take things slow and let them come to me so they always feel safe and comfortable. I’ve been pet sitting for friends for the past 7 years, caring for both cats and dogs with all different personalities. I’ve loved animals since I was a kid and even went/took horseback riding lessons once a week. Since my mom was scared of dogs, I wasn’t able to have one as a child, so I poured all my love into caring for my friends pets whenever I could - playing with them, cuddling them, and giving them the attention they needed. Now I have a dog and I used to have a cat of my own, and both require daily medication, so I’m experienced with giving pets medicine safely and gently. I genuinely love creating a calm, loving environment where every pet feels understood and cared for. I work from home two days a week. My office hours are 8am-5pm. My partner also works a lot from home so your pet won’t be home alone very often. I’m available for boarding during the week (as long as your pet is used to a similar schedule) and weekends. I care for pets by creating a calm, safe, and cozy space. I have a fenced yard and a nice neighborhood for walks. My friendly dog will keep your pup company. Your fur baby is welcome on all our furniture, just like my dog. If needed, I can easily crate your pet or let them stay loose. Whatever makes them and/or you feel most comfortable.
“Laura cuidó de mi perrita de una manera excepcional. Desde el primer momento demostró mucho amor, paciencia y dedicación. Se aseguró de que estuviera bien alimentada, cómoda y atendida en todo momento, tratándola como si fuera su propia mascota. Me dio mucha tranquilidad saber que estaba en tan buenas manos. Se nota que ama a los animales y que realmente se preocupa por su bienestar. Estoy muy agradecida por todo el cariño y la atención que le brindó. Sin duda la recomiendo al 100% y volvería a confiarle el cuidado de mi perrita. 🐾💕 Muchas gracias, Laura, por cuidar tan bien de mi bebé peluda.”
“Absolutely fantastic- cannot rave about her enough. Completely trustworthy and went the extra mile to take care of our fur babies and also give us peace of mind! Best experience we have had with Rover and a sitter. Highly recommend!!!”
“Cameron did an amazing job taking care of our dog and new puppy while we were gone for a long weekend! She did drop-in visits and provided walks for our older dog, as well as spending quality time playing with our puppy. She was very gracious and professional in dealing with accidents and followed all of our instructions perfectly. The pups seemed well taken care of. She provided lots of cute photos each visit and was very responsive. Would definitely recommend Cameron and would love to book again next time!”
“Sandra is an excellent, trustworthy, compassionate person. I will support and recommend her to anyone who is interested in hire a true professional. Very please with Sandra.”
About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life and truly love spending time with them. I currently have a playful 1-year-old Schnauzer at home.

Christine is such a great help. Genuine, reliable, and a person of her word whom always goes the extra mile. Very professional but also like a great friend that you know is doing what they love and her attention to detail is 100% for the true love of her furry clients. I can't say enough great things about Christine. ❤️
My cats feel very safe and comfortable around Carolina. They are usually frightened of other people, but they get along with Carolina very well. Carolina is a good communicator and updated us about the cats daily. She has watched my cats multiple times and I have never had any issues.

As of August 2026, there are 1,730 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Richmond West. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.

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.
