“This was our first time working with Taylor and we’ll definitely be working with her again in the future! She was respectful of our cats (who aren’t friendly), communicative, and timely. We were very pleased with our experience!!!”
“Jasmine was great! She was not able to find my cat all of the time but she still sent pictures showing she was dropping in and tried very hard to catch my cat on camera. She even did the litter box even though I forgot to put that on the instructions.”
“Meghan is one of the best cat sitters I’ve ever had! So kind and caring with my kitties, amazingly communicative, and truly generous. She did an amazing job taking care of my cats!!”
“It was our first time using Kristina to watch over our pet while we were away, and it won’t be our last!! She was very sweet to our girl and our home while we were gone and felt a great piece of mind knowing our cat was in good hands. Thank you so much Kristina!”
“Amanda is pleasant and is very conscientious. She takes time for pets and purrs with our cat. Kallie is shy but loves her. When we come back from our trips, the house is always in good order. We definitely recommend Amanda. She is amazing!”
About: Hi there! I’m new to the Richmond area and can’t wait to explore the city, preferably with a furry friend (or two) by my side. I’ve been the go to pet sitter for family, friends, coworkers, and neighbors since 2007. Whether it’s playful pups, snuggly seniors, or quirky cats, I’ve cared for them all and I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family. • Super flexible schedule • Happy to stay in your home (I’m neat, respectful, and come with glowing references) • Excellent communicator and completely trustworthy with both pets and homes • Big believer in belly rubs, treat breaks, and whatever makes your pet happiest I can’t host pets in my own home but, I’m more than happy to travel or housesit wherever your fur baby feels most at home. I’d love to meet Richmond’s locals and give them all the love and care they deserve. My days are wide open and pet sitting is my favorite way to fill them! I am totally flexible and always happy to see a fur best friend! While I can’t offer boarding in my home (my cat kindly lets me live there), I’m happy to care for your pets in your home. I treat every house with respect and every pet with the same love, compassion, and excitement as if they were my own.
About: I’ve always loved animals and grown up around so many dogs and cats. I enjoy providing pets with great care and treating them like my own. I have experience with animals of all ages and I’ll take the time to make sure they feel comfortable, happy, and cared for! I’m currently in graduate school and have class until 11:50! I’m free before/after and free during the weekend as well. Overall, my schedule is very flexible. When caring for pets in their own home, I aim to keep them as comfortable as possible and maintaining their normal routine. I follow their feeding, walking, and playtime routines, while giving them plenty of affection.
“I booked Allie for several check ins for my 2 cats while I was out of town. She provided excellent service and took great pictures for the updates. Allie is most certainly an animal person and my cats warmed up to her immediately (which doesn’t usually happen). I highly recommend her to anyone and she will most definitely be my go-to for the future!”
About: I've been pet sitting since I was a little kid and grew up with dogs and cats, and since I work from home full-time, I have a flexible schedule. I love getting outside for walks and tend to walk 10k steps daily, so if you have an active dog, I’m your girl! I don’t currently have pets of my own, so I love getting to spend quality time with yours! My ultimate goal is for you to feel confident that your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. I work from home from 9am - 5pm, so I’ll be very available during the week. I have set evening plans on Wednesdays and Thursdays, but I have no standing commitments all other days of the week. I will follow whatever protocol you have for your pets. Whether that’s a specific routine, individual needs, and/or keeping you up to date with pics / messages. I want you to feel like your furry friends are in good hands!
“Nick is a kind guy with a gentle demeanor. My anxious dog Leroy was very comfortable with him and I came home to a happy pup. I will definitely be calling upon him more this summer!”
“Sierra was very communicative and great with our cats! She was even able to get our older cat to take his medications. She left our house in great condition- definitely recommend”
“Victoria was wonderful in taking care of the kittens! She was on time everyday and sent wonderful updates of the babes. They were well loved and cared for we are so grateful!”
About: I've been caring for animals for years, both my own and those of family and friends. I raised my family's senior dog from the time she was a puppy, giving me experience with every stage of a dog's life—from energetic puppy years to the extra patience and attention that come with senior care. I'm also the proud owner of two cats that I've cared for since they were just two months old. Caring for them has given me hands-on experience with feeding routines, litter box maintenance, playtime, recognizing changes in behavior, and creating a safe, enriching environment. I understand that every pet has a unique personality and routine, so I take the time to follow each owner's instructions carefully. Whether your pet loves long walks, interactive play, quiet companionship, or extra patience, I'll provide dependable, compassionate care so they feel comfortable while you're away. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide reliable pet care throughout the week. Whether it's morning walks, midday check-ins, evening visits, or overnight care, I make sure each pet gets the attention, exercise, and companionship they need. I always prioritize keeping pets on their normal routine to help them feel comfortable and secure. Your pet's safety and well-being are my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet's routine, personality, and any special care instructions before our visit. In your home, I'll follow your instructions carefully, keep doors and gates secure, provide fresh food and water, administer medications if needed, and make sure your pet feels safe and loved while you're away. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind.
About: I am a dedicated pet sitter with extensive experience caring for all types of pets, including puppies and senior animals. I am skilled in administering medications and training basics to puppies. I offer dog walking and customized care with compassionate attention to each pet’s unique needs. I communicate clearly and provide regular updates with photos to give owners peace of mind. My priority is safety, reliability, and positive reinforcement to ensure a happy and healthy experience for your pet. I am a morning person and can tend to your fur babies while working and accommodating to your schedule. I am available Monday - Friday morning. I am not able to take home large pets, however we can definitely speak about housing options for the smaller pets! Mi casa es su casa ( in dog ).

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 .
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 , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
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 .

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.
