“Kittyboo took to Jessica right away, which is rare for him. I can go out of town with peace of mind knowing she is going to take care of my boy. I am so glad I found her. Thank you Jessica.”
About: What sets me apart is the hands-on experience I have caring for dogs with all different personalities, ages, and needs. In addition to having three dogs and two cats of my own, I have fostered dogs through Bullies to the Rescue and volunteer with Richmond Animal Care and Control, where I serve as a Volunteer Adoption Coordinator Assistant and a trained Three Paw dog walker. I am comfortable working with dogs who may have behavioral challenges and have experience with senior and sick dogs who need extra patience, attention, and care. I truly take the time to get to know each pet as an individual and adjust my care to what makes them feel safe, comfortable, and happy. I don't just see pet sitting as a job—I genuinely love animals and treat every pet in my care like they are my own. I work full-time Monday through Friday from 7:00 AM to 3:30 PM in East End Henrico, so pet care fits naturally into my routine before and after work. I am available for brief morning visits before work and have much more flexibility after 3:30 PM for longer walks, drop-in visits, and house sitting. I have open availability on weekends and can be flexible with scheduling. For house sitting, I am also willing to travel outside my normal service area when staying in your home. I take scheduling seriously and will make sure I have enough time to give each pet the attention and care they deserve. I care for every pet as an individual and take the time to learn their routine, personality, and specific needs. In a client's home, I follow their normal schedule as closely as possible so their pets feel comfortable and secure while their family is away. I provide plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, companionship, and love, while also respecting pets who need a little space. I am comfortable caring for senior, sick, special-needs, and behaviorally challenging dogs, as well as cats and kittens. I will follow feeding instructions, medication or special-care directions, and any other routines you provide. Most importantly, I want your pets to feel safe, happy, and cared for—and I want you to have peace of mind knowing they are in good hands.
About: I've taken care of all kinds of animals since I was 16. Dogs, cats, fish, birds, lizards and a rabbit. I have experience in older animals who need medication multiple times a day. I'm currently working part-time with few hours so I have a very flexible schedule and will have plenty of time to meet the need of you and your pet! I stick to a strict schedule if any kind of medicine is involved. Aside from that I am more laid back in my approach to pet-sitting. I love giving treats and extended play times!
“Jocelyn was an incredible cat sitter for our two young cats. She was great to communicate with and she sent us many pictures/videos while we were away. She made sure our cats were receiving attention, playtime and kindness. She really went above and beyond what we initially expected from a cat sitter.”
About: I have over 10 years of experience caring for dogs and truly enjoy spending time with pets. I had my own dog in Colombia for 7 years and also cared for a family’s dog for 4 years while working as a nanny. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, giving pets attention, and keeping their routines consistent. I’m responsible, patient, and treat every pet like family. I also have experience caring for cats and currently share my home with two cats I work during the day, but I’m available for pet visits in the evenings and on weekends. I’m happy to work around your pet’s routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, and companionship. I’ll make sure your pets receive the attention and care they need while you’re away. I treat every pet with patience, care, and respect. I’m comfortable caring for both dogs and cats and following each pet’s individual routine and instructions. I’ll provide fresh food and water, walks and playtime for dogs, litter box care for cats, and plenty of attention. I’ll also keep your home secure and send updates so you know your pets are safe and happy.
About: I've always had a soft spot for the pets that need a little extra love. Over the years, I've adopted two rescue dogs and two rescue cats. One of my dogs was a deaf and partially blind senior who had been overlooked at the shelter, and caring for him taught me patience, attentiveness, and how to make an anxious or special-needs pet feel safe. Today I'm the proud cat mom to two tuxedo rescues, ages 14 and 6, who both have separation anxiety. Because of them, I understand how important it is to keep pets comfortable, maintain their routines, and earn their trust. I'll care for your pets with the same patience and love I give my own. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. I work from home, which gives me the flexibility to provide dependable care and adjust my schedule to meet each pet's needs. I'm an early riser, so my mornings always begin by feeding, playing with, and checking in on my own cats before I start my workday. Because I'm home throughout the day, I'm able to give pets plenty of attention, companionship, and playtime rather than leaving them alone for long stretches. Whether your cat needs a little extra affection, interactive play, fresh food and water, or simply someone to check in and make sure they're comfortable, I have the flexibility to provide attentive, consistent care. I know how important routine is—especially for cats—and I'll do my best to keep your pet's day as familiar and stress-free as possible while you're away. At home, my cats are part of my family, and I make sure they always have fresh food and water, clean litter boxes, daily playtime, and, of course, plenty of affection on their own terms. Because they have very different personalities, I've learned that every cat has unique needs. One may want to play and cuddle, while another simply appreciates a calm presence and a predictable routine. When caring for pets in a client's home, I strive to keep their routine as consistent as possible. I'll follow your feeding schedule, refresh water, clean litter boxes, administer medications if needed, and spend quality time with your pet based on what makes them happiest—whether that's interactive play, brushing, lap time, or simply sitting quietly with them so they feel safe and comfortable.
“Kim was so great! Visits were consistent every day (which I know my cats appreciated), and many of the daily pictures she sent are so good I could frame them! I really enjoyed working with Kim and look forward to calling on her again the next time we’re out of town.”
About: I love all animals! I believe animals can sense energy, and animals always respond well to my presence because I am patient. I grew up on a farm so horses, dogs, cats, birds. My pets live like kings 😂 I work remotely so my schedule is flexible. Over night stays are fine. I work remotely and have hot spot so my schedule is flexible. I am available 7AM-3PM (depending on area). Fridays/Saturdays available all day. I would prefer pet sitting at the pet’s home to ensure they feel comfortable, low stress. Evenings I can stay extended amounts of times as long as y’all don’t mind me working remotely on my hot spot at the home. Outside/feeding schedules will be no problem because my work is flexible.
“The week before our trip, Rebecca came to meet Paintball and get familiar with our home and the cat care supplies and routine. Paintball can be hesitant around strangers, but they quickly became friends! While we were away, Rebecca was excellent at communicating with me and she sent us many pictures of Paintball living her best kitty cat life. She even gave her a thorough brushing! Our house was just as we left it and Paintball appeared to be well cared for while we were away :) We would be happy to use her services again in the future.”
About: I have my own large senior dog, grew up with at least 2 dogs in my home, and love cats. I often sit for my friends cats and love to have a walking buddy with taking dogs, esp now that my old boy has slowed down. As a teacher I have a schedule based on school and in the summer my 5 year old would sometimes be tagging along with me. I can go before school and after and in the summer months have much more flexibility I am a public school teacher and a toddler and dog mom of my own. I love to be active and go on walks and love to give animals attention and love like they all deserve!
About: Before I moved to Richmond I rescued animals in WV . I would have puppies in & out for years, nursing them & giving them to proper homes ❤️ I currently work full time so this will be an evening & weekend extra curricular for me , however I do not see this as a job, rather a hobby. Currently I just plan on walking , checking in , feeding etc . I’m currently pregnant & trying to find ways to exercise to improve my health :)
About: I have professional pet sitting experience with all sizes, ages and temperaments! I enjoy meeting the pets and giving them a safe and loving experience! My schedule is super flexible so I am completely open 7 days a week and most times of the day! Can’t wait to meet your pets! I understand every pet is different and can cater to all personality types. I treat every pet as my own and clients homes with respect! I prefer meeting the pet with the owner first before coming on my own to get pet use to me!
“We had a great experience with Marina! She is reliable, caring, and wonderful with our dog. It gave us such peace of mind knowing he was in good hands while we work such long hours. I definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog walker!”
About: From a young age, I’ve had much experience caring for all kinds of pets, including various breeds, sizes, and ages. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to make sure their pets receive the love, attention, and care they need while they’re away. My pet-sitting services range from overnight stays to quick drop-in visits, so I’m happy to accommodate whatever works best for you and your pets! I’ve always cared deeply for my own pets and understand just how much they mean to us. Pets truly are a person’s best friend, and I believe they deserve the same love, attention, and care that we would want for our own family. I am currently working a part-time job on the weekends, so I will have plenty of time to walk and take care of your pets. I have a fenced in backyard that my dog loves to run around and play in. When we go walks, they lead me, so I allow them to safely do what they want, within reason of course.

The thing I care about most is the safety of your babies while making them feel at home
“Amy is very reliable and responsive. She sends daily updates and photos which gave me so much peace in mind knowing my cat was in good hands. I highly recommend her and would book her again.”
About: As a medical student with diverse experience handling everything from farm livestock to in-home pets like my bunny Ruby, I provide uniquely adaptable, responsible care. I am balancing medical volunteering and summer school until returning to my full-time job this August, maintaining an organized, highly adaptable schedule for your pet. In either home, I strictly follow your pet's exact feeding, medication, and exercise routines. I prioritize active engagement, regular updates, and an immaculate environment, ensuring they remain safe, calm, and happy under my responsible care.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Woodlake
Laura has been my senior cat’s sitter for a couple of years now. I continue to have such positive experiences and feel good know my cat and home are are well taken care of with her. From her thoughtful updates, pictures to being very responsive through the app, I am so lucky to have Laura!
Layla did a fantastic job of taking great care of our outdoor cat. Communicated well, sent photos, took time to have a meet and greet first. Definitely will have her care for our fury friend again. I knew it was a great match as our cat's name is Layla as well, we had a good laugh about that. Great work ethic and just an extraordinary human!
Nicole has petsit for us numerous times over the past few years. She is great! We highly recommend her. Nicole always arrives on time and follows any directions we leave in writing to properly care for our cats. She takes care of the necessities first and then spends plenty of time interacting with our otherwise shy guys who rarely take to anyone. It's nice to be away and know this is being done by a professional who cares about what she has been entrusted to do. Nicole also sends a short written summary of each visit and pictures. Nicole responds quickly to any initial request for a booking or communication during our trips. We also appreciate that she will grab our mail and bring in any packages. Book Nicole, schedule a meet and great as we are certain you will be equally pleased with her work!
April was absolutely amazing. This was our first time leaving our cat for a short vacation so we were very nervous to leave him. April really was amazing and did wonderful with him. And he loved her!!! She is very easy to work with and her love for animals really shows. We got daily photo updates which was awesome!

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.
