About: My parents got me my very first dog when I was six years old, and honestly, that was the beginning of my lifelong dog obsession. Since then, I’ve always had dogs (sometimes more than one) so caring for pups has been a normal part of my everyday life for as long as I can remember. I’ve handled everything from tiny cuddle bugs to big goofy giants, seniors who need a gentle pace, and energetic pups who think every day is a marathon. Because I grew up with dogs, I’m comfortable with feeding routines, walks, playtime, basic training, meds, and understanding each dog’s unique personality. I treat every pup like family, because that’s exactly what dogs have always been to me. I run a photography business, so outside of scheduled times where I am shooting (weddings, family portraits etc), I'm very much available to take care of your pets with my full priority. If I'm not in front of a client, I can do all of my other work without needing to be in any specific place and without time constraints, so I'm happy to put down my editing tablet for long walks, play times and any attention and care that your pets could want or need. Security, fullfillment, and furry photos are my mottos. I want to make sure that your rules are followed to the letter, and I'm happy to be recorded/walks tracked to give you ease of mind. Next I want to make sure that your pets feel that someone is there that cares about them, is interested in them and wants to give them exciting play times and COMPANY, not just supervision. And finally, so long as you're okay with it, I'm happy to bring my camera along and take some professional pictures of your hairy best friend for fun and sharing with you (feel free to turn it down, and of course I'm not charging anything for it, I just think everyone deserves good pictures of their family!)
“Joanne was WONDERFUL! I highly recommend her! She is so friendly and responsive . My dog loved her and she was on time when she was supposed to arrive. I had some issues regarding the times after it was booked and she completely understood and was there when I needed her to walk my dog. I know it can be hard trusting someone with your pets, but Joanne is definitely professional and you can trust her 100%.”
“Kari was great to work with and was amazing with our dog, Marty! She did several drop-ins for us while we were away. Marty loved all the love and attention! We would definitely book with her agian.”
“Wow! Morgan is a fantastic sitter!! Timely and extremely attentive to our pups. Her communication with me made our time away easy. We have three dogs which can be worrisome however she made us feel at ease with them in her care. We will definitely book her again and thank her for a wonderful experience. I highly recommend her services.”
About: I have been taking care of my friends’ and neighbors’ dogs and cats since I was 15. I have been hired to dog and cat sit during the day (for pets of all ages), walking dogs, and drop in visits to feed animals and play with them! I am currently in physical therapy school and have a very flexible schedule. I am available after 4pm Monday through Friday and off on the weekends. Starting May 1st I will be available all day everyday except for days marked off! I have a fence and big backyard. When caring for others pets, I am able to let them outside with a fence or able to take them out on a leash. I also have a car if they enjoy car rides!
About: I have been caring for animals my entire life and have extensive hands-on experience with cats and dogs of all ages, personalities, and needs. I currently care for four cats of my own and recently fostered four sibling kittens, providing them with a safe and loving environment while they prepared for their forever homes. Over the years, I have also cared for friends' and family members' dogs, providing walks, companionship, feeding, and attentive care based on their individual routines. I am comfortable caring for senior pets, following specific instructions, and recognizing changes in behavior or health. What sets me apart is my patience, reliability, attention to detail, and genuine love for animals. I treat every pet as if they were my own and provide compassionate, dependable loving care while you're away. I work Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. close to home, which allows me to provide reliable pet care before and after work. I'm also available evenings, weekends, and many holidays. While I don't offer boarding or overnight care in my home, I'm happy to provide drop-in visits, walks, and care in your pet's familiar environment. I'll treat your pets with the same love, patience, and attention I give my own. Caring for animals has always been a part of my daily life, and I make time to ensure every pet receives the attention, affection, and dependable care they deserve. While I don't offer boarding or overnight care in my home, I'm happy to provide drop-in visits and care in your pet's familiar environment.
“We needed a last minute dog walker for our 1 year old Husky. Caitlyn was GREAT! I loved seeing all the pictures and updates. She even cleaned up a little of a mess that Nuna made. Definately will be using her again!!”
“I could not have asked for a better human to be looking after my handsome baby boy! Christa was extremely professional, reliable and handled my 16 year old cat's needs amazingly. She went above and beyond to make sure he was fed, had fresh water and even tended to his litterbox. I look forward to booking Christa again!”
About: I've had dogs ever since I was born, and got my first cat 5 years ago. I have experience with multiple kittens, puppies, and elderly animals. I even have an aquarium at home! I am a college student and have ~3 hours of classes Monday-Thursday. Other than that, I'm totally free! I'm happy to plan around my classes with you. While I don't dogsit in my own home, I have plenty of experience keeping rowdy pets safe on walks as well as inside. I'm confident in my ability to wrangle anything unsavory out of your furbaby's mouth.
“Kate is an outstanding caretaker that we could not recommend highly enough. She is not only knowledgeable but also proactive and really thoughtful. Kate took care of our two cats while we were out of town for several days. Our one cat has diabetes and was not doing very well near the end of our trip. Kate immediately reached out to us and Rover and got our sick cat to our vet promptly. She went out of her way to ensure that he was well taken care of and kept us updated on his condition while we returned home from out of state. Her excellent communication and care gave us comfort that he was in good hands while we returned home. We know that our fur baby was with someone who truly cared for him. We are so so grateful to Kate and highly recommend her for any pet sitting needs. She's awesome!”
About: I have always had a soft spot for puppies to seniors, all breeds of pooches. I enjoy taking dogs on walks, car rides to drive around, a special treat for a pup cup and playing fetch in the yard. I am comfortable with medications, baths/grooming, accidents and the endless dog kisses. I have 2 dogs myself (Rottweiler, and a King Charles Cavalier) who are very rambunctious and always keep me on my toes. I am currently available during the week, weekends and holidays. I am home and available for drop ins, long visits, dog-walks, boarding/overnight visits at your home. I do have a very large fenced in yard for dogs to play in. Multiple crate sizes for dogs and cats along with carriers. For cats- I have multiple cat trees in my home. I do have areas to seperate pets if needed in my 4 story home. Multiple food bowls, blankets and beds to keep everyone happy.
“Katie gave my one cat a pill every day and scooped the litter box while we were away. She came over before we left to go over instructions and said she would message us if there were any issues. We came back to nice clean litter boxes, and we did not get any messages so I’m assuming she was good giving the medication! Thanks Katie!”
About: I've been taking care of dogs, cats, and basically any animal pet you could think of since I was 7 reliable family and I would say. Also I have fostered about five dogs since moving out of my parents house. I love that I can provide a loving, caring, and comfortable environment for any pet. ❤️ Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. As a currently stay-at-home mom, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate time and attention to each pet in my care. Whether it’s feeding, walks, playtime, potty breaks, litter box cleaning, or simply providing companionship, I can be consistent and attentive throughout the day. I understand how important it is to stick to each pet’s normal routine, so I’ll do my best to follow your instructions and schedule to help them feel comfortable and secure while you’re away. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being will always be my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and any special needs before providing care. I’ll carefully follow all feeding instructions, medication schedules (if needed), exercise routines, and any other preferences you have for your pet. I believe in building trust with every animal by being patient, gentle, and allowing them to become comfortable at their own pace. I’ll also keep you updated with messages and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy and well cared for while you’re away.
About: My husband and I are experienced, loving pet parents. We have almost 20 years together, and 20 years of personal care for our own cats & dogs, and have taken care of many other small critters. We love, love, LOVE animals and will care for your furbaby as if they are our own (and our own are spoiled, but we still have to have reasonable expectations of rules). If staying with us, they have the run of the house and will sleep with us in our bed (if that's something they are into. Otherwise, crating is fine!). If I am coming to your home and walking, I will love and care for them just as I do my sweet girls. Our home is pet friendly, and all pets can have free roam of the house. Imagine they are on a vacation - looked after, paid attention to, but not expected to be on their best behaviour. We have lots of experience with animal rescue in 3 countries (yes, 3!) and give our free time and funds to help homeless animals where we are able. We would love to watch your furbabies. Just let us know when you need us! Thank you so much for considering us to care for your furkids.
“I’ve had family members come over and try to let my dog out before & couldn’t get her out but Alexandria did! I’m literally in shock and so so so grateful and happy with her! She also sent me videos and pictures. She truly is the best of the best!!”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Richwood
Britney did a last-minute drop in visit for me when I had to do an emergency overnight stay out-of-state; I'm super grateful that she felt comfortable enough to drop-in on an animal she hadn't yet met! She communicated with me about everything, and sent super cute pics of my cat. This is my first time using Rover (and my first time leaving my cat alone overnight) and I'm so pleased, especially with the service Britney provided! I was so relieved knowing that Valkyrie would be taken care of while I was away. Thank you!
Katie gave my one cat a pill every day and scooped the litter box while we were away. She came over before we left to go over instructions and said she would message us if there were any issues. We came back to nice clean litter boxes, and we did not get any messages so I’m assuming she was good giving the medication! Thanks Katie!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 4,044 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:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
