Vicki T. says "Zola is awesome! She pet sat for us while we were out of town for a family event. She was great! We'd definitely have her back. Thank you so much."

For about a year, I cared for pets. I helped feed and care for cats, but mostly dogs. I have stayed overnight, but for now I prefer just sitting. I can walk however many dogs you have, make sure I feed them to your schedule and of course, play with them. I have three cats of my own, and one dog.

FAQs for finding cat sitters near you in Richmond, IL

The average cost for a cat sitter in Richmond, IL as of October 2026 is $15.00 per hour. However, many cat sitters charge per visit rather than hourly, especially for drop-in care. Pricing can vary based on the number of cats, visit frequency, services needed such as medication or extended visits, and whether overnight care is required.
Cat sitters in Richmond, IL typically provide feeding, fresh water, litter box cleaning, and playtime or companionship. Many also offer additional services such as administering medication, grooming, and monitoring your cat’s health and behavior. Some sitters can provide multiple daily visits or overnight care depending on your needs and your cat’s routine.
To find a reliable cat sitter in Richmond, IL, many pet owners compare profiles based on experience with cats, reviews from other pet owners, and availability. Scheduling a meet-and-greet is a common step to ensure the sitter is comfortable with your cat and understands feeding schedules, litter routines, and any special care instructions.
Many cats are more comfortable staying in their own home, making in-home cat sitting a popular choice in Richmond, IL. It allows cats to maintain their routine and avoid the stress of travel or unfamiliar environments. Boarding may work for some cats, but in-home care is often preferred for pets that are sensitive to change or require consistent routines.
The number of visits depends on your cat’s needs. Many cat owners in Richmond, IL schedule one to two visits per day for feeding, litter box cleaning, and interaction. Kittens, senior cats, or cats with medical needs may require more frequent visits or longer stays to ensure proper care and monitoring.
Before hiring a cat sitter in Richmond, IL, it’s helpful to ask about their experience specifically with cats, how they handle feeding schedules and litter maintenance, and whether they are comfortable administering medication if needed. You may also want to ask how they provide updates, such as photos or messages, and how they handle emergencies while caring for your pet.
