“Marsha was wonderful. Our pups had a blast, the house was left spotless, great communication and updates while we were away. Will 100% be rebooking with Marsha”
“Melissa did fantastic! She made sure our dogs were well cared for. She interacted with them and loved them as her own. She relieved so much stress over leaving them alone while we got married. We will definitely use Melissa again.”
“Carrie is a gem! My dog got sick before I left and Carrie made sure she was well taken care of, sending me updates and setting up the vet appointment. I trust Carrie so much and feel lucky to have found her. She’s definitely Xena’s favorite friend. Thank you Carrie!!”
“Isabella was great! She took fantastic care of both our clingy cat and our home! Very good communication, she sent pictures every day and responded promptly to my messages. We would love to have her house sit for us again. Highly recommend her!”
“Tamara is amazing! She did such a wonderful job house-sitting with our dog and cat while we were out of town. She knew that we were stressed about leaving since our dog has reactivity issues and severe separation anxiety. Our dog and cat loved her and we appreciated the extra care she gave them to make sure they were comfortable while we were gone. She also sent numerous updates on our fur babies to alleviate our stress as well.”
About: I work as a veterinary assistant at an urgent care facility in town. I’ve worked in urgent care going on 5 years and general practice for 2 years. I occasionally cat sit and dog sit. I have a lot of knowledge in my career but I also love spending time with animals and making sure they’re happy, the clients and I just overall enjoy the joy they bring to me! I work 3 12s but I am able to stop in the check on the fur babies on my lunches. I also am very flexible with times I need to go take care of them on my days off as well. I have two kitties of my own. I don’t plan on being able to board pets at my own home due to me renting a house without a fenced backyard.
About: I have a huge fenced in yard, your pets will have a ton of attention and be well taken care of, they can be indoor and we go outdoors often tons of toys and freedom besides rules you give! I have experience with all animals and breeds, no complaints about any of them. I'll work with any animal you have. I'm flexible I work from home and can give a lot of attention to your pet. I can house sit, go to your house or they can come to mine, I have a open schedule. I feed, give water, play outside and inside, provide toys even, I have a huge fenced in yard but also a line with a leash going from one end to the other for dogs or even cats to be able to play outside safely, I listen to rules and would always make sure your home is locked up and won't forget anything. I'm organized and can promise everything will be well taken care of. I can provide baths as well.
“Debbie was great! Great communication, photos, and my dog seemed to really like her. My dogs were happy and healthy when we returned. She also watered all my outside flowers while I was away.”
About: I have had two dogs since I was 14 but have loved animals my whole life. I started to watch some of my friend’s dogs when I hit 18 and now that I’m back home I’d love to have some more dogs to take care of! I am currently working 7-3:30 M-F but I’m free to stay overnight, walk your pups before and after work, and am free on the weekends! Whatever schedule you have for your dog I can keep. I can make sure they follow their routine so you can have a break! I unfortunately can’t have dogs stay at my house but I’m more than happy to stay overnight and make sure your dogs are taken care of.
“This is the first time I have used Rover because for many years we have had our friends available to us, until this trip. I found it to be a really easy process and without it, we never would have found Faith! I am so thankful! Faith is amazing! Our "boys" loved her right away! She followed my instructions, and was able to get one our dogs to do something we have a hard time doing ourselves! This demonstrated the trust he had in Faith immediately. If you are looking for a trustworthy, dependable, kind, and loving sitter for your fur babies in your home, then I highly recommend you hire Faith!! You will be very happy you did!”
About: I’ve been working with dogs my whole life, I fostered before it was a huge thing from the shelter. I volunteered at the shelter for over 10 years. I frequently watch my friends animals as well, up to 5 at a time including cats. I work full time but work 10-7 so I can easily come before or after work, and can easily pop in during my lunch too during the week if needed. I love all dogs, none spook me. I just want to give them some attention so they don’t feel lonely. I am okay with walking and crating dogs or whatever the protocol is you are okay with!
“Brianna did a great job watching Stella while I was away for the weekend. She stayed at my home which helped keep Stella in her routine. I would definitely recommend her, and I plan to use her again in the future.”
About: I am from Tri Cities and have a passion for animals! I have 2 cats and two dachshunds of my own. I have watched a few of my friends dogs in the past, ranging different sizes. I would love to take your dog(s) for a walk! I currently work full time Mon- Fri, with time available after work or on weekends through the day. Would love to incorporate more animals in to my life since I cannot adopt anymore! We have a big house and fenced yard for animals to enjoy. Both of my cats are indoors and escape artists, so I am used to being very careful and attentive. I understand it is nerve wracking to have someone else watch over your pets and hope that they don’t escape their sight. I promise to do my very best to provide an attentive, loving, friendly approach with your animals. Both of my dogs are Dachsunds, meaning I am used to the most stubborn dog on the planet. I also understand the importance of home modifications for them to live happily and safely with us; so rest assured that I can relate to specific requests and attention to detail when caring for your babies.

Emma was great and a favorite for our dog, Cora. She went above and beyond what we expected taking care of our dog. It was nice being able to go on vacation and come back without any worries. Her communication was phenomenal and care for our dog was very much appreciated. Highly recommend using her and plan to do so again soon. Thanks!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Benton City is $53 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $42 and $62 per night. 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.

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Benton City walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Benton City maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Benton City choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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.
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.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
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.
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.

- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 96% 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.
