About: I’ve grown up around animals my entire life and have hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats. Over the years, I’ve helped raise and care for around six dogs and two cats from birth through their senior years. This has given me experience with daily routines such as feeding, walking, bathing, playtime, and providing comfort and attention at different life stages. I understand how important consistency, patience, and gentle care are for pets to feel safe and happy. Animals have always been a big part of my life, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. * Monday: 6:30 PM – 9:30 PM * Tuesday: 6:30 PM – 9:30 PM * Wednesday: 6:30 PM – 9:30 PM * Thursday: 6:30 PM – 9:30 PM * Friday: 6:30 PM – 9:30 PM Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my priority. I follow all owner instructions closely to keep your pet’s routine consistent and stress-free. During walks and drop-in visits, I use secure leashing, stay alert to surroundings, and ensure all doors and gates are properly closed. I also provide updates so you know your pet is safe and well cared for at all times.
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.
“Carolina took excellent care of my cat who is very shy. Carolina took pictures every day and kept me updated. I would definitely ask her in the future to care for my kitty again.”

“Ruth is super responsive and very friendly with your babies! I had a last minute drop in I only had two hours to find someone and she was very fast at responding and helped me out in a pinch. Our original schedule was for 6 visits and she squeezed in the 7th for us last minute! Life saver!”

My backyard is fenced in to keep them safe and I also sometimes have a pretty big playpen where they can stay inside the house.

About: I have experience caring for a wide range of pets—including dogs and cats of all ages, as well as small animals like hamsters, guinea pigs, rabbits, and even chickens. Whether it’s walking energetic pups, providing calm companionship for senior pets, or making sure small animals are safe and comfortable, I bring patience, reliability, and genuine care to every visit. What sets me apart is my ability to adapt to each pet’s unique needs—whether that’s medication routines, special diets, or just knowing when they need a little extra love and attention. I really take the time to get to know each pet and what makes them feel safe and happy. I treat every animal like they’re my own, and I’m committed to providing a stress-free, trustworthy experience for both pets and their families. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. I work Monday-Friday 9-5, so I have plenty of free time on weekends to give pets the attention they need. I’m home most of the day when I’m not working and always happy to help accommodate different schedules, whether it’s walks, drop-ins, house sitting, or boarding. I’m used to managing multiple pets with different needs. Caring for animals isn’t just part of my day, it’s something I truly enjoy. I provide a safe, calm, and pet-friendly environment where your pet can feel comfortable. I live with two friendly dogs, a social cat, and a bunny who are all used to being around other animals. My backyard is fully fenced, with a small garden, and a tree for shade, perfect for supervised outdoor time. Inside, I keep things clean and relaxed. I can easily separate pets if needed and set up playpens or cozy areas depending on your dog’s comfort level. Whether your pet is playful or prefers their own space, I’m happy to adjust to their needs and make sure they’re always safe and well cared for. I also follow any instructions closely in clients’ homes to maintain routines and comfort.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Richmond West
The best experience! This was the first time our dog and two cats stayed at home during our vacation. And I’m happy to report because of Jennifer the experience was 100% enjoyable and stress-free. Many pics at every drop-in, reports regarding their food, bathroom breaks and activities! Extremely communicative and reliable. Will definitely book again!

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.

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 West. 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.
