“Amazing! She did an amazing job with our 3 dogs. She sent pictures every time she checked in and communicated with us daily. We were so happy with the experience and couldn’t ask for anything better!”
“Melissa took excellent care of my babies. I enjoyed my weekend trip worry-free with her looking after them. She wrote great reports for each visit and took lots of pictures for me. I would book with her again! Thanks!”
About: Please don’t allow my reduced star rating to deter you from booking with me! I unfortunately took on a couple jobs that I shouldn’t have with dogs with behavior issues and the owners ended up blaming me although I provided the best care possible. :( I am now more diligent in asking the necessary questions before accepting a job. I do this because I love animals and also to earn very much needed extra income for my family of 8. I have had pets all my life including dogs, cats, rabbits, fish, hamsters, frogs, and turtles. I also grew up in a small farm town for a good part of my childhood and was around a lot of farm animals. I currently have 1 dog of my own who is friendly and playful, as well as kids who can help keep your fur babies active and having fun. We live in a quiet neighborhood perfect for walks. I work from home, so I have a flexible schedule and can work with your needs. I have mostly open availability on the weekends and also for boarding or overnight care. I have a yard with room to run, although it isn’t fenced, we do have an outdoor kennel area and a dog run line. I’m also able to crate pets inside if needed. I can also take dogs for walks around our quiet, private neighborhood, or to the dog park for more room to run.
About: I stand out by providing personalized, attentive care tailored to each dog’s unique needs. I have experience working with both energetic puppies and senior dogs, including basic training for young pets and gentle, patient support for older dogs who may need a slower pace or extra care. I’m reliable, communicative, and genuinely love building trust with every dog I walk or sit, making sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. I build my schedule around walks, feeding times, and check-ins to make sure each dog gets consistent attention and care. Whether it’s morning walks, midday visits, or evening check-ins, I stay flexible and organized so pets feel comfortable and cared for throughout the day. I provide a calm, safe, and loving environment whether pets are in my home or theirs. I stick closely to each pet’s usual routine—feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any specific instructions—so they feel comfortable and secure. In a client’s home, I make sure pets get plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship while also keeping their space clean and respected. In my home, I create a cozy, supervised setting with lots of affection, regular potty breaks, and structured routines. I’m attentive to each pet’s behavior and needs, whether that means extra playtime for energetic dogs or a slower, gentle approach for seniors.
“Ysobel was wonderful! She was very flexible to add additional care for our pets at the last minute and gave us great updates throughout the week. All the pets were happy, fed, and well cared for while we were gone.”
“Hayden is absolutely wonderful! I’ve always been an anxious pet parent and this was my first time using Rover, so I didn’t know what to expect. She helped me understand how everything works and put me at ease immediately. We loved getting updates about Huckleberry and hearing about how he started to look forward to/waited for her arrival. He was clearly so happy to have a new friend and it gave us the ability to truly relax and enjoy our vacation. 1000% recommend Hayden and she is definitely my first choice for pet sitting from here on out.”
About: I have previous vet clinic experience! I am knowledgeable in give animals of any kind medications as needed and I am comfortable administering emergency meds when need. I’m currently going to WWU to get my biology degree. So while my schedule is pretty open I do have at least one class I need to be at every week day. I’m open to talking more about my availability when you send in a request. I have done a lot of pet sitting in clients homes previous to getting on rover. I have worked with many different security systems in other peoples home that I am comfortable with what ever the owner has as long as they are comfortable with it and trust it.
“They did a great job looking after our 2 cats! We were gone for 3 weeks and they went above and beyond with updates and ensuring they were well taken care of. We also came home to a clean apartment which is so nice after a long vacation.”
“Debbie is very friendly, easy to work with, and went beyond my expectations in the amount of time she spent with our male Scottie during a multi-drop-in day. I asked her to do many things before she left our house for the night and all were completed—i.e. turn on porch lights, TV, etc. I will definitely contact her again when I need caring help with my little pooch.”
About: I lived in Seattle por the past 8 years and recently moved back to tri cities (August 2023). I did dog boarding, drop in visits, and house sitting during my time in the city. I’ve taken care of a multitude of breeds and come to love doing it. I do my research, accommodate to your preferences, and keep you posted throughout your dogs stay. I myself have a five year old husky/lab mix. She’s been my associate in every dog boarding making it easier for anxious or high energy dogs to acclimate into a new environment. I’ve never had a unsatisfied client and I pride myself in that. I work graveyard shift 5 days out of the week. It makes it easier to attend to any dog staying with me and of course my own. I live in an apartment complex in Kennewick. Less than a 5min drive to Columbia park making it feasible for dog walks and some play time.
“Shannon was wonderful! She took care of our boys’ needs and, based on photos she shared with us, they loved her visits! Knowing they were well taken care of made our vacation away so much more relaxing.”
“Best pet sitter I have ever had! The dogs loved them and were always happy to see them come in. I got a lot of pictures of them while I was away and I will definitely be using them again when I need them!”
About: I've pet and house sat for friends and family since I was 15 and have experience with every size and age of dog and cat. I have experience with giving animals any special medication or any other needs that they may require. ☺️ I only have one class at school per week so I am pretty available for any schedule that your pet may need. I am happy to work with your pets needs in any way! My previous clients usually needed me for house sitting as well as pet sitting so I have no problem staying over night or just dropping in on your pets throughout the day. I am very keen on following your pets schedule! Routine is key!
About: Hello, my name is Claudia and I’m new to the Rover Community! I’ve had pets since I was 10 years old and I’ve never been able to live without one. I’ve had different breeds both big and small and have experience caring for all life stages. Your pets will be well cared for and treated like babies of my own therefore, you can feel at ease while you’re away. I have 2 dogs of my own Milo and Maggie. If this is your first time using rover and you’d like to book with me you can use the following promo code at checkout: CLAUDB35742. I appreciate your consideration and I am looking forward to meeting you and your furry baby. I am usually available during the week and some weekends, please don’t hesitate to reach out to see if I’m available. Last minute care is ok! I don’t have a fenced front yard but I have a fenced small patio. Your pet will be taken out on a leash for their needs.
About: I grew up with a St. Bernard and two papillons - so saying I understand both big and small dogs is an understatement. I do have to agree the small ones can have the biggest attitudes, however. Love dogs and love spending time with them! I work serving night shifts so I am available most days! And only gone at night for about 5 hours. Can stay at house or just do drop ins. I used to babysit so I am comfortable taking care of homes while watching over others. I will keep everything tidy and make sure everyone is taken care of!
“We have 3 dogs and 2 cats and we’ve chosen Raeanna twice now to take care of our pets and she does a great job! We appreciate the peace of mind that comes with knowing they are being well cared for. We come back to happy and healthy critters.”
The median cost per visit for dog sitting in Kennewick is $20

I had a great experience with Courtney! I have a 9-week-old puppy, so I was naturally nervous about leaving him, but she did an amazing job. She was patient, caring, and made sure he was well taken care of during her visit. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing he was in good hands. I really appreciated her reliability and the care she showed for my puppy. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and loving to care for their pet!
We have been incredibly lucky to have such an amazing dog sitter! Daisy has cared for our pups for over a year and she is consistently reliable—always on time, and often even early—which gives me total peace of mind. More importantly, she is so attentive and genuinely caring with my pups. They absolutely adore her, and it’s clear she treats them like her own. It’s not easy to find someone you can fully trust with your pets, but she exceeds expectations every single time. I can’t recommend her enough!
Cesilia was great with Loki & Raider! When Cesilia came by for the meet & greet, the dogs seemed to like her right away. Loki enjoyed some playtime with his new stuffy during the drop ins. Raider is always shy around new people, but I think she will warm up to Cesilia with a few more drop ins and upcoming housesitting.
I love how Sierra takes great care of my babies when we're gone. I never have to worry about them when we're on vacation. She also follows all of my requests and she goes the extra mile by playing with them and loving on them. I know they are very excited to see her and that helps them not miss us. I highly recommend Sierra for all your pet needs. I will definitely use her again.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Kennewick stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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 Kennewick 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!
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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Kennewick with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
