About: I have cared for pets since I was a child (a longtime)! I have 4 dogs and 2 cats of my own. I am a Mimi to 2 granddogs, and 3 grandsons. I also enjoy walking shelter dogs in my free time. I promise to treat your furbabies like my own when they are in my care. I currently work Mon- Wednesday a 9-5 job and every other Friday half day. I can do drop-ins before and after work. My weekends are available. I have a fenced yard and doggy door. I also have 4 furbabies. I have also have a home camera security system. My yard is professionally sprayed for fleas and ticks.
About: I have 6+ years of pet-sitting experience, veterinary technician training, and professional kennel experience. I’m experienced with dogs, cats, farm animals, medications, injections, and canine CPR. I have a flexible schedule and offer dog walking, drop-in visits, and overnight pet sitting in your home. I’m happy to work around your pet’s routine and needs. I treat every client’s home with respect and every pet with patience and care. I follow their routine, instructions, medications, and safety needs while providing a calm, comfortable environment.
“Cassandra did an outstanding job with our special needs older cat. We would not hesitate to ask her to care for Punkin again. She was punctual, communicated well, and sent us the cutest pictures. It was great to not have to worry while we were on vacation.”

“I hired Holly for drop in visits to inject insulin on my diabetic dog. She was very professional and punctual. He didn’t even feel the poke. I will definitely hire Holly again to care for my pets.”

About: I’ve had pets or all sorts since I was a small child. I grew up around cats, dogs, and all sorts of animals. I’m patient and also have experience in wildlife rehab— which means I can easily handle basic triage and medication/supplement application. Geriatric or special needs? My childhood dog was blind and diabetic. Fearful or anxious pet? I get it, I’m patient and understand animals need their space and time to gain your trust. I have a degree in wildlife biology, am a licensed falconer, and worked in retail pet care all through college. Now? I have plenty of pets of my own, reptiles, birds, mammals, and an amphibian too. I’m currently between jobs, so my schedule will hopefully change soon— but for now I’m happy to help take care of your pets as I’m free. Which is often. I’m willing and able to do drop ins on the weekends or late at night with fair warning or advance notice! Not the best early morning person, but I have plenty of my own animals that need am care— so I’m plenty capable of that too. I will care for your pets as I care for my own. Observant and patient, empathetic and gentle. I’m more than comfortable cleaning messes, handling high stress situations, and will do my best to keep your pets loved and comfortable in my care.

About: I've been an animal lover for as long as I can remember, and caring for animals has been a huge part of my life for over 20 years! My background goes far beyond simply owning pets. I've worked as a veterinary assistant and lead receptionist at Heights Veterinary Clinic, where I gained hands-on experience caring for animals with different personalities, temperaments, and medical needs. I also worked as a supervisor at Urban Tails, a dog daycare and boarding facility, where I gained valuable experience caring for dogs in a group environment. In addition to my professional experience, I've volunteered with animal shelters and rescue organizations, including the Houston Humane Society and Pasadena Animal Control. I'm comfortable caring for dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities, from energetic puppies to sweet senior pets who need a little extra patience and attention. My veterinary background has also given me experience recognizing changes in behavior and signs that an animal may not be feeling its best. I understand that pets aren't just animals; they're family! I treat every pet in my care with the same love, patience, and attention that I give my own. Whether your baby needs exercise, playtime, companionship, or simply someone to make them feel safe and loved while you're away, my goal is to give you peace of mind knowing they're in caring, experienced hands. I can't wait to meet your furry family members! I'm currently a college student, which allows me some flexibility in my schedule! I enjoy spending time at home with my family and our pets, so caring for additional furry friends fits naturally into my routine. I do have school-aged children and will be attending some in-person college classes, so my availability may vary depending on the day. I keep my Rover calendar updated and do my best to accommodate each pet's individual needs and routine. Whether your baby needs a fun day of play, a comfortable overnight stay, or some extra love and attention while you're away, I'm happy to discuss a schedule that works for everyone! Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities! My home has a spacious, fully fenced 1.5-acre backyard with two gates that remain locked. There's plenty of room for supervised outdoor playtime, exploring, and burning off some energy! I also have indoor home security cameras for added peace of mind. I have pets of my own, so I understand how important it is to make sure everyone feels safe and comfortable. Introductions are handled carefully, and pets can be separated when needed. Outdoor playtime is always supervised. With my background working in veterinary medicine and professional dog daycare and boarding, I'm experienced in recognizing animal behavior, understanding different temperaments, and identifying potential health or safety concerns. I follow each owner's instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medications when applicable, exercise routines, and any special accommodations. When caring for pets in a client's home, I respect their space, maintain their pet's usual routine, and provide regular updates and pictures. My goal is for every pet to feel safe, loved, and right at home while giving their family peace of mind!
About: From a young age I loved being around animals, I started out helping my mom since she is a wildlife rehabilitation rescuer. I worked as a Veterinary Technician with small and large animal, and have been working as a receptionist in Veterinary Clinics for 7 years now. Animals bring a happiness to me that is indescribable and if you hire me as your pet sitter I promise that your fur babies will become a part of my family! I will treat them as my own, if you’d like to book please let me know. I like to do meet and greets before I do the job to meet your fur babies, you, and make sure that I have an understanding of the routine to best take care of them while your away! I am currently not working so I am doing pet sitting full time, I can pretty much do any date or time. Just let me know what works best for you. For pet sitting, I would do so in the comfort of your own home and where your pet feels the safest. I do not have a fenced in yard, so to make sure that the pet care is safe I feel it is best to provide it in your home.
About: I've cared for different breeds for 10 years, including my own huskies. I'm comfortable with medication, senior pets, puppies, anxious animals, and I follow each owner's routine for feeding, walks, and meds exactly. I send photo updates every day, and I check the home and yard for hazards when I arrive. Pets get patience and attention, not just a quick visit. Pet care fits easily into my schedule. I'm flexible on days, evenings, weekends, and holidays, and I can usually accommodate last-minute requests. I'm home most of the day and able to schedule visits around my day, so I can offer midday check-ins, longer visits, or overnight stays. Tell me what your pet's routine looks like, and I'll build my schedule around it. Safety comes first. When I arrive, I check the home and yard for hazards like open gates, loose cords, toxic plants, and anything a pet could swallow. I follow your feeding, medication, and walk instructions exactly, keep pets on a leash outside unless you tell me otherwise, and make sure doors and gates are secured when I leave. I send photo updates during every visit, and if anything seems off, I contact you right away and follow your vet's instructions. I'm happy to do a meet-and-greet first so your pet and I can get comfortable, and so you can show me where everything is.
About: I take the time to understand their unique needs, personality, and routines. Whether it's ensuring they get the right amount of exercise, providing mental stimulation, or offering extra cuddles and comfort, I focus on making each dog feel safe, loved, and happy. My commitment to reliability, attention to detail, and regular updates for pet owners also ensures peace of mind while you're away. I am available for dog sitting on weekends. I offer personalized care, including walks, playtime, feeding, and plenty of attention to keep your pet happy and comfortable while you’re away. As a dog owner, I prioritize my dog’s physical and emotional well-being. I ensure they get regular exercise, playtime, and mental stimulation, along with a balanced diet and routine vet checkups. I also make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable in their environment.

About: I’ve been around dogs for years and have experience caring for pets for friends, neighbors, and family. I’m comfortable with different sizes, breeds, and personalities, including energetic dogs and those who need a little extra patience. 🐶 I take pride in being reliable, attentive, and making sure pets feel safe and cared for while their owners are away. Whether it’s walks, feeding, playtime, or just keeping them company, I treat every pet like they’re my own. I went to school to be a veterinarian so it is something I truly love.💕 I also have a car, so I’m flexible and able to travel, and I’m great with following specific care instructions and routines. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, and I keep a very flexible schedule so I can be available when pet parents need me most. I’m open for morning, midday, and evening visits, as well as weekends. Since I plan my days around bookings (and this is my only job), I’m able to give pets consistent attention and not rush through visits or walks. I also try to be accommodating with last-minute requests whenever possible. I focus on creating a calm, safe, and comfortable environment for every pet, whether I’m in my home or a client’s home. I always follow the pet’s routine closely, including feeding schedules, walk times, and any specific instructions. I’m very attentive during walks and visits, making sure pets are secure, hydrated, and never put in unsafe situations. I also keep spaces clean, double check doors and gates, and make sure pets feel relaxed and cared for while their owner is away. (exactly what I would want for my own pet!) I believe communication is important, so I provide updates and photos so owners can feel confident their pet is in the best hands!

“Kyla is a phenomenal human being and was an amazing caregiver to my horde of animals. ? I looked forward to her detailed visit summaries each morning, while out of town. Any family who books with her should know they are in great hands. We hope to use her services again in the future.”

This is my second time using Jayleene and she was absolutely phenomenal. My pup had a medical scare and she was on top of it and keeping me well updated until I could get back. She was super flexible as well. I can’t say enough good things and would highly recommend her. She will be my go-to sitter in the future.

Chelci was absolutely wonderful! I cannot recommend her enough. She dropped in twice a day during my 3 day trip, and she was incredibly reliable and responsible. Her communication was excellent, and she sent wonderful photo updates that kept my mind completely at ease. Even my cats picked up on her great vibes right away! Everything was purrfect when I got home. I will definitely be contacting her next time I am out of town!

I cannot say enough good things about Sandy. She took excellent care of my two cats while I was away. She took meticulous notes about my cats and their habits during the initial meet and greet and while I was away she provided updates and photos. I HIGHLY recommend Sandy!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Richwood is $18 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $28 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 464 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Richwood. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Richwood. On Rover:
- 86% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
