About: I have had dogs and cats for all my life, and have cared for them for others for over 12 years. From kittens/puppies to seniors, I can care for them all! I will be your fur baby’s new best friend (other than you of course! 😁) in no time! I currently work on my own flexible schedule, so it is easy for me to fit your needs in! Just let me know what you are looking for and I will do my best to accommodate! I will be as attentive to your fur baby’s as you need me to be. I will play with them, walk them and make sure they are getting food, water and treats (if those are okay!). I have spare leashes, brushes and a number of other care accessories. I have two kitty backpacks if I ever need to transfer them without a leash. I know dog and cat CPR, and have several veterinary connections nearby for quick service if that is ever needed.

About: I am a professional baseball player and an absolute animal lover. I grew up with a very energetic pup, and now have 2 cats that I absolutely adore. I also have plenty of experience dog/cat sitting for neighbors/family/friends. Excited to meet and play with all kinds of new animals! P.S. i do realize I am new to this and don’t have any reviews, you you may br hesitant to book me. I promise I will not fall short of your expectations! Still waiting on my first review to get things kick started. I play professional baseball for the Pittsburgh Pirates. I am string and capable of handling even the most energetic of pups. I am obligated to training/working out from 9 am until around noon each day. I have the rest of the day to myself, which means plenty of time for the animals! My cats are absolutely spoiled. Between toys, cats trees, the best food, pets, (and sometimes butt smacks for the little cat), there is no shortage of love for the cats in my household. I will cater to every pet owners needs, as well as the animals needs. I will bring love and effort into every household i step into.

About: Hey y’all! I have been independently caring for animals since I was 12. I have previously worked in a groomer shop as a bather and nail trimmer. I also have history of assisting with training dogs. Fortunately, my dad is a vet and I have gained a lot of knowledge through him. I am appropriately trained to administer medications to any fur babies that may need it! I have history working with animals of all ages. I can assure you that your furry friends will be in the best hands! I do work 9-5 currently and available anytime before or after work. I ensure the animals are ready for the day before I go to work and spend all evening loving on them after work! I am willing and able to accommodate to yours and your pets needs to ensure that you and your pet are comfortable while away from each other. I unfortunately cannot bring your pet into my home due to my own animals.

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.

About: I’ve had pets nearly my whole life and have been known to struggle to walk past an animal in need. This means rescuing an injured squirrel, a Cooper’s hawk, an opossum, and more, going the extra mile even when it was deeply inconvenient for me to do so. I also grew up attending zoo camp and then volunteering at a zoo from age 5 to 14, caring for a wide range of animals. I have worked with high energy pitties, a blind and anxious German shepherd, birds, cuddly kitties, fearful kitties, diabetic kitties, rabbits, and others. I have administered shots, IVs, medications, eye drops, and more. I am persistent and typically can win over even the shyest and most anxious fur baby. I have a genuine love for caring for pets and would be honored to care for yours! I am currently carefully thinking about my next full time role and working part time. My partner is an immigrant seeking employment during a time when that is extremely difficult due to the political situation. Any supplemental income is incredibly helpful for me as we navigate. I have a reliable vehicle, plenty of time to play with your pets, and love to love on them. I have a reliable car and I keep my word. I am communicative, honest, and truly love animals. I take direction well and understand that every pet has their specific needs. I don’t cut corners and do my best to provide top notch care, always.

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 have cared for dogs starting in middle school, for a variety of neighbors, friends, and family members. I really enjoy spending my time with dogs, whether that be walking, playing, or just relaxing together. I currently am participating in a program with America's Vet Dogs, where future service dogs are trained by inmates at local prisons, and individuals/families sign up to take 1 dog every weekend for a year, to provide the experiences out in the world that these pups need to become amazing service dogs! This is my second year my mother and I have been a part of this program, and I have learned so much about dog training that I never knew before! I feel confident that this experience with training and taking care of a dog that isn't mine has made me a qualified pet sitter. I am currently in grad school, so I have free time during the day to walk or drop in on pets! I can be quite flexible with my availability and schedule because of the nature of my grad program. In your home, I will ensure that your pet is safe and cared for always. Whatever your home situation, I can easily accommodate to your dogs and cats the best care, making sure that they feel loved and are having fun! I love to get outdoors, and can easily handle active dogs with lots of walks and playing!

FAQs for Cat Sitting - Woods Acres

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Woods Acres is $20 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $18 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 410 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Woods Acres. 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 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Woods Acres. On Rover:

  • 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 92% 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 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.
