About: Hi! I’m Wendy. I offer calm, reliable care for dogs and cats, including walks, drop ins, and overnight sitting. I focus on keeping your pet comfortable by sticking closely to their routine and giving them plenty of attention and care. I’m responsive, easy to reach, and happy to send updates while you’re away so you always feel connected. 🐕🦺🐈 I have a flexible schedule and am generally available throughout the week, including mornings, afternoons, evenings, and weekends. I can adjust based on your pet’s needs and your schedule. ✨ I prioritize safety, routine, and clear communication to ensure pets feel secure and cared for, and I always make sure they get plenty of attention and affection.
“Brooke was great with my kitty. She came in daily for a week and I could tell Ravi was very comfortable with her. I would definitely recommend Brooke to all! This was my first time using Rover and Brooke was very responsive which put me at ease.”
“Missy was so wonderful with my puppy Corbin! I had zero concerns leaving him in her hands. She was very communicative, followed directions, was respectful of my home, and was detailed in her updates. The photos she included in her updates were the highlight of my day! I could tell she really enjoyed her time with him and he was having fun and felt safe with her. Thank you so much, Missy!!!”
“Was able to spend my Christmas stress-free knowing my babies were in good hands! I appreciate all the pictures and updates of our kitties. I felt she understood and respected our kitties needs and personality! Thank you so much!”
About: I have been a pet owner all my life and always have had a passion for animals growing up. I have been professionally pet sitting for many years now. I have 2 rescue dogs named Gemma and Ollie who I absolutely adore. I enjoy what I do and would be happy to watch your fur babies! I do accounting during the day but work from home so I have plenty of time to care and play with your pups! I have flexible drop off and pick up times too because of working remotely. I have a fenced yard with 2 friendly dogs to keep your fur baby company. We also have a camera to keep an eye on your pups if we step out for a bit.
“Needed a sitter last second and tried Rover for the first time. I’m so glad I picked Mattie! She was super responsive and really was great! And our dog literally loved her during a quick pre-visit and she’s usually wary of new people. I can’t thank Mattie enough!”
“Abigail took wonderful care of our two cats while we were away. She was very attentive, making sure Sancho received his medicine every day without any issue, and kept us updated with messages and photos that gave us peace of mind. Both of our cats were happy, comfortable, and well cared for when we came back. We truly appreciate her kindness and dedication, and we would definitely trust her again in the future!”
“Ashley was awesome. I would definitely recommend her and book her again! She was super attentive and caring to our dog while we were away. She sent pics and took our dog for a walk everyday. Super kind and responsive. No issues at all. 😊”
About: I have years of experience caring for my own pets, I worked at a doggy daycare where I tended to and cared for countless dogs of different sizes and temperaments, and I am currently attending college where I am studying animal science. I am currently only working Fridays and Saturdays from 6am to 1pm. Outside of those hours I have plenty of time to walk pets and do daily visits and check ins. I have every intention of following the instructions and training I have received from the dog behavioral and training course I took while working at a doggy daycare, but I will also follow any instructions given to me by the pet owners. I intend to closely observe any odd behavior that could indicate an injury or health concern. I will feed and exercise the pet in the manner that the owner would recommend or appreciate.
“My adorable Kitten absolutely loved Alyssa as her caretaker when I was gone for two weeks. I can tell they loved each other and became best of friends right from the start. That means the most, it assures me that my fur baby is happy and safe with Alyssa. She did an amazing job entertaining Kitten and updating me with lots of photos! I will be using Alyssa again in the near future and would highly recommend her for your pets.”
About: I've taken care of many different kinds of animals for many years. I've gravitated towards animals as long as I can remember, and have always seeked experience wherever I can. I have walked, animal sat, full groomed, bathed, and more! Anything that I haven't done, I'm always willing to learn! I currently go to college and live on campus! During the summer months I am home and have lots of time to work with your pets! My schedule is relatively open through July and fairly flexible come August! Feel free to send me a message for details!! I'm always willing to work with what your dog does best with! I'm able to crate when needed, use a long line, and have many tools and leashes if needed!
“The cat sitter was impressively responsive, promptly addressing any inquiries or updates. Their quick communication added a reassuring layer to the pet-sitting experience.”
About: - Vet Assistant at Hebron Animal Hospital - Medical Extern at Peformance Equine Vet Services - Petting Zoo Attendant at Kinman Farms - Off and on petting sitting for family and friends over the past several years I am currently home from college for the summer and have plenty of time to accommodate whatever needs your pet might have. I have no other commitments besides the occasional doctors appointment or shadowing experience throughout the day. I have a wide range of experience dealing with all different kinds of animals. Being a vet assistant I have worked personally with fear free certified veterinarians and understand how to adequately care for pets from all walks of life.
About: Desde pequeña he sido muy cuidadosa con los animales, el amor nunca falta para mí. Le demuestro que son lo mas especial de la vida, estudie poco de medicina veterinaria, hice grooming en vzla. En este momento tengo un empleo de medio tiempo, por lo que puedo ayudar a entretener a su consentido dándole diversión, amor, alegría e indispensables paseos. Las mascotas son una parte fundamental en una familia, ya que logran demostrar con amor todo lo bello y puro que tienen en su corazón, lo más importante es su cuidado, la atención, y su seguridad, lo cual hago todo a mi alcance para que la mascota se sienta cómoda, feliz y saludable.
“Mariah was great, she was really flexible and met for a meet and greet before scheduling and showed up on time for all of the scheduled visits and left detailed reports and even cleaned up when there were accidents. Would absolutely schedule with her again!”
About: I have my undergrad in animal science. I volunteered for several years in high school at a no kill animal shelter where I got to foster many dogs. I’ve pet sat for friends and of course had my own pups. :) I’m often off a day during the week which allows me to pop in to take a pup out! Also able to work it into my schedule after work during the work days. Care for your pup would depend on the individual but would most likely include: walks, playing with toys, cuddle time, of course feeding..making sure they are refreshed!
About: I’m the family pet sitter. We have 5 cats and 5 dogs between us all and I’m the one they call when they go out of town to watch them. I am in between jobs currently so I am looking to do something to help supplement income. I just need a days notice so I can be ready to get up and go! I treat them like they are my own. Playtime, cuddles, treats, you name it. I love animals. I may spend extra time with them just giving them loves.
About: I’ve been pet sitting professionally on and off for around 5 years now and am very comfortable with most kinds of animals. I have experience in training pups, senior care, and medication administration. Personally, I’ve had a companion with tumor-induced epilepsy and another with Blastomycosis (a respiratory issue). In other words, I am prepared to care for your animal in whatever capacity they require. Until May, I work an 6 hour morning shift T-Th and a night shift on Saturday. Over the summer, it will reduce to Sat. shift only. Other than my job, I am available to be with your companions at all times of the day as per need. I will care for your pet in whatever way they need. If they must be crate trained at night, fed daily medicine, diaper changed, regular training practice in basic skills (sitting, etc.), frequent walks, bathed, trimmed, I'm your girl. I’ll do my best to make them comfortable with me and happy in your home (even if that means love from a distance for some of our timid fellas).

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Richwood
Kasey did a wonderful job doing drop ins while I was out of the country. Her notes were perfectly detailed (not too much, not too little) and even with the time difference, she made communication easy and reliable. I am extremely grateful for her kindness and care with my home and look forward to having her here again hopefully someday!
There's just no one better than Brooke! She's the only human being besides me that my cats will actually let her pet them. Usually I get photos of them under the bed. But not this time! I've already referred her to a friend. Thank you so much Brooke! See you next time.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Richwood on Rover is $24.42 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

As of July 2026, there are 959 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Richwood. 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Richwood. On Rover:
- 96% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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 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.
