“Melek was really friendly & totally understands cats! She took good care of Orlando & sent me daily videos so I could see Orlando was happy & relaxed. Melek also fed the wild birds in the garden for me too! Thankyou”
“Frangelica went above and beyond, taking the best care of my girl! She was prompt, always included tons of updates and pictures, and kept me in the loop when Penny’s allergies were acting up. I’d trust her to take care of Penny any time!”
“Laura was a great sitter, coming in twice a day. She was very quick with communication and sent photos each visit of Miracle. Our cat is usually very nervous but she enjoyed cuddles and a fuss with Laura. Would definitely recommend!”
“Serena is such a fab catsitter! Our shy and nervous cat seemed to immidiately like her, and Serena made efforts to gently and gradually earn her trust and make her feel comfortable. She sent regular reassuring and kind updates, and we came back to a happy, well-looked after kitty 😊 we're thankful for her help and super highly recommend!! ”

About: My family dog Ralph is aged 5, and I've been looking after him since he was just a puppy. My favourite little guy who I miss as he's in Scotland. Experienced with on lead and off lead walking and basic training. I'm a freelance creative working in VFX production and I am looking to fill my time away from the hectic world of film with relaxed dog walks and hangouts. I’m not offering care in my own home, but if visiting yours I can play in the house/fenced garden and depending on recall off lead/non-fenced play too.

I was worried about finding someone to look after our kitty cat for a week while we were away on holiday. I came across Jaqueline on this platform, and I can honestly say upon our meet and greet Pumpkin and I instantly felt at ease. Jaqueline sent photos everyday of Pumpkin playing, being brushed and petted by herself. It made our hearts melt each time. We would highly recommend Jaqueline. We certainly have found our cat sitter. Thank you so much Jaqueline, you’re the best!! 😻⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🤗
Laura had looked after Mylo before we moved house, but was happy to travel a bit further to see him again, which we appreciated! Her updates on each visit are always very reliable and timely, and Mylo was clearly in good hands and was happy and comfortable when we returned.
Caelyn kindly accepted our booking at the very last minute after our previous sitter cancelled the day before we were due to leave for our holidays. From the very beginning, she was incredibly reassuring and made us feel completely at ease. She took amazing care of both our cats, and we came home to two very happy kitties! Everything was also left super clean and tidy, which was such a lovely bonus. We had complete peace of mind while we were away. We’ll definitely be in touch again in the future! ❤️🐱
Sam was euch a brilliant sitter for our cat Arlo. You can see how much she loves cats and lives to be around them. She sent me every day pictures and videos and let me know how he is doing. She is very reliable and kind. I can highly recommend her and will definitely book her again! 😻
Rose was fantastic. Clearly knows cats well, bonded with ours from day one. She communicated promptly with pics and good vibes every day, and managed extra details like vitamins and brushing with ease. She thoughtfully set up an ice pack unprompted when a heatwave hit. Would definitely recommend and book again.
Our little cat was poorly just before our holiday and we were very nervous to leave her - Kath was an absolute godsend!! She kept us informed, gave Poppy lots of love and attention - Poppy made a swift recovery and we were able to have a long-awaited holiday with peace of mind. I can’t recommend her more highly and am so grateful!!
Lifei was great with my two cats! She cleaned up everything perfectly (the older one gets messy), they were well fed and looked after. Very reliable, responds fast and keeps you updated while you’re away. Will be definitely using Lifei’s services in the future.
This was the first occasion upon which Chris looked after my beautiful cat, Ollie. I would certainly ask him again in the future. Chris is kind, friendly and reliable. He looked after Ollie beautifully, Chris provided daily updates. When I arrived home, Ollie was happy and relaxed. Used utensils and bowls were washed and dried up. I recommend Chris highly and, as I say, would certainly book him again.
Frangelica is really great professional! She took a good care of our cat Mina. Mina has a very shy character and not an easy cat to establish the contact with, but Frangelica managed to win her trust! She kept updating us with photos and messages, which gave us a great peace of mind. We are very grateful and would definitely recommend Frangelica to anyone looking for a reliable and caring cat sitter! We would happily book her again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Richmond on Rover is £17.25 per Visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Cat Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Cat Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
There are 8,232 sitters on Rover for Cat Sitting in Richmond. About 90% of Richmond sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you are planning ahead for public holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day cover for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
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 trays. 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 socialisation 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.
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 poo breaks occured. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available for dedicated customer support by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalised, 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 key safe. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalised codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in a flat, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or lift etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
Every sitter on Rover must pass an identity verification before they can list their services. An identity verification confirms that the sitter is who they say they are based on their documents.
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 our Trust & Safety page .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes dedicated customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement programme 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.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
