“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.”
“This was our first time using Mattie to sit our 3 cats and it was the best experience! Mattie was extremely thorough with updates and went above and beyond with taking care of them. I couldn’t have asked for a better person to watch our kitties while we were away!!”
“This was my first time using Elisabeth and I am very satisfied with her services! She was very attentive and informative in the notes and made me feel calm and at ease when she cared for my fur babies. I definitely would use her again and recommend her to others.”
“Grace did a wonderful job! She was patient with my crank old boy. She came and took wonderful care of cosmo even when he wasnt the friendliest with her the firsr couple days. She remained calm and continued working with him until he fully warmed up to her. Grace continued to give me updates on how he was doing everyday and even noticed when he was acting a little different due to him having a mild reaction/ itching a lot due to treats that were provided and went out of her way to get new ones for him. I could not have asked for a better sitter to pop in on my boy.”
About: I’ve been taking care of pets regularly since 2017, but I’ve loved pets for much longer. Once I adopted my first dog Mia, my love for her grew into a love for every dog I lay eyes on, and I quickly became the designated sitter for all my friends’ pets. I’ve done it all from staying at their houses, taking their pets into my house, popping in for walks or play dates, and even taking in lost animals off the street to reunite them with their owners. Anything that gives me a chance to show an animal love and genuine care sets my heart aglow. I know how hard it can be to leave your pet, and that’s why when I pet sit, I treat your pets like my own because I know that’s exactly what I would want for Mia. I know every animal is different and I work with pet owners to set a plan for their pet and I follow it to a tee to keep the pet’s routine as regular as possible while the owner is away. I have extensive experience working with senior pets and pets with health problems (Mia being one herself), and I know first hand how important it is to find someone you trust to leave your pet with, especially if there are health issues, while you are gone. I relish the opportunity to meet you and your fur baby(or plural!) and would love to chat about a sitting care plan with you! More of my story: It all started when we adopted my family’s first fur baby when I was 8. As an only child, I’d begged my parents for a pet for years and they finally gave in when I was in the third grade. We adopted the last kitten left of the litter at the local pound. She was a black kitten that I named Roxy. Roxy and I were inseparable during my childhood, and I can’t imagine what it would have been like growing up without her. In 2017 when I got a place of my own that allowed pets, I adopted my first dog. Found on the streets, malnourished, severely underweight and her hair lost to mites, she had just given birth to a litter. I was volunteering as a dog walker at the local shelter at the time, and when I met her, I knew from that moment that my volunteer gig had turned into something much greater. I adopted her, and 9 years later, Mia and I are one and the same. I have one other part time job serving, so I have extensive availability for you and your pet(s) and can focus especially on your pet’s needs while you are away. I will stay at your home to keep your pet in its trusted environment. We will meet before you leave to go over routines and other details for your home and your pet’s environment.
“Cathy was fantastic looking after our cats. We got lots of photos each day, which our previous Rover didn’t do. We will definitely have Cathy watch our cats next time we head out of town.”
About: I have experience working with large groups of dogs with Allies Walkabout. I live with three cats, a dog, and a bearded dragon. I’m also currently working at Petsmart as a bather in the grooming salon, so I’m interacting with a bunch of different dogs all the time! I’m full time and work most days 730am-4pm, while I’m normally off Thursday’s and Monday’s. For pet sitting I fill up food and water while letting them use the bathroom in the early morning and head straight back after work to check in! I’m committed to creating a safe, calm and trusting environment where every pet feels comfortable and cared for. I take the time to understand each pet’s personality, routine, and needs so they can feel secure and happy while in my care. I also have plenty of experience leash walking and crating if needed!
“Emma was amazing with our dog while we were away on vacation! She followed all of our instructions perfectly and went above and beyond. We received photos and updates at every visit, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was clear that Dolly was well cared for and loved while we were gone. We will definitely be using Emma again in the future and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!”
“We're really happy we booked with Audrey! She took great care of our cats while we were gone, including one who needs medicine, and sent us plenty of updates. We'll definitely be booking with her again.”
“Rachel made me feel so at ease the whole time I was out of town! My cat looked so happy in the pictures she sent that I didn’t feel worried about her at all. I will absolutely be rebooking with her in the future. Thank you Rachel!”
“Megan is a great sitter! She watched my cats for the first time this past weekend and took great care of them, and was very attentive to their needs, highly recommend! 😊”
“Have booked Payton to watch my dog a handful of times now and she is always reliable and responsive. With an older dog like I have, she is patient and great to work with - easy to trust her with my little gal!”
“Andrea has done an incredible job at letting our shy pup go at his own pace. We also appreciate her excellent communication with us about how each visit has been going and in arranging schedules. Darwin is more and more excited each time she visits!!”
“This is the first time I’ve used a pet sitter instead of boarding my cat Cali as I felt she would be more comfortable in her own home. I came across the Rover website and booked a sitter close to my home. My cat has an automatic feeder for dry food as well as a water fountain. So, the only “services” I needed were to feed her wet food in the evening and clean the litter box. I met with my sitter, Amy, and explained how to access my home, where to dispose of litter etc. Amy did an excellent job and even went above and beyond to try and get a photo of Cali, who hides from strangers. Thai has been a great experience and I will definitely use Rover and Amy again.”
“Amanda is great! I’m an anxious cat mom when I have to leave them😅, but I love the updates she always sends of them! One of my cats is super skiddish but she’s been slowly coming out to visit her! & The other one loves play time 😂”
“Allie is amazing! She is a true animal lover and right when we met her, we knew she would take great care of our cat! Our cat is super shy but Allie did a great job of getting him to warm up to her- she’s very patient and does a great job of figuring out what will make our cat comfortable. Our cat also takes a pill for his asthma and Allie was able to administer this to him while we were gone (which is not easy to do because our cat does NOT like taking it!) Allie is kind, very reliable, and communicative. I hope to have her pet sit for us again and I’d highly recommend her to anyone!”

This was my first time booking with Kasey and her husband and I am very satisfied and pleased to have picked them. Her husband was very informative on his notes and pictures and answered me very quickly, if I updated him on something real quick. He was very good and patient with my animals and I would definitely recommend and rebook with them again!

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

As of September 2026, there are 952 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.

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.
