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 once had kittens who needed to be fed regularly and fully protected in their home setting in my photo, and they also had many medications. With my vast experience, I have lived on farms with two horses and goats roaming through grass fields, as well as in homes with huge to three australia dogs that were cared for by loving owners. I’m currently resuce a dog, labdoodle (Silo) and one years old. He need a friend if we able to meet and greet to make him feel comfortable from shy & to feel puppy again. He doesn't bark and very gentle to play with toys with ladies, doesn't get along with man from perious owner. (my home daycare is closed for now until he feel comfortable around with other dogs) I used working at Huck’s Kennels, taking care of small and large dogs. A few of them have anxiety or severe fear of being social, but they get along with me and the other dogs too. My heart is always open to all animal lovers, and I make every effort to care for your pets in your house and national park streets! :) I just graduated from college with a pretty open schedule! I’m more than happy to take care of pets and have a flexible schedule when you need to go on vacation, and I’ve got you covered! I have pets toys supplies for them to play, even the dog leases if needed. I will provide the service when you needed. Full of care in my hands!
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!

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.
“Adelita was great - terrific communication, took wonderful loving care of my pets that typically don't like people they don't know. She was very good at gaining their trust, and provided tender loving care in my absence. I couldn't have asked for anyone better to care for my home and pets, she wanted to make sure she provided outstanding service and accommodate my needs. Thank you, Adi!”
About: I’ve had a love for animals for as long as I can remember! Growing up surrounded by different types of pets has given me over 20 years of personal experience caring for animals and understanding the importance of providing them with love, patience, and attention.

“There is no words to full describe how amazing Evelyn is. As first time users of Tover, I was feeling nervous, uncertain and apprehensive. She went above and beyond to ease my nerves. She sent numerous pictures while communicating extensively about their day. She is the only person that I've would ever trust to look after Buzz and Woody.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Kennewick
Kristen did a phenomenal job. I had to book last minute and was lucky she had time. She took care of my dog Trixy and cat Sprinkles for a week, house sitting. She took Trixy on her daily walks and sent tons of photos. Managed all of the different things I asked of her. She was a courteous guest in my home, everything looked like it did when I left. Amazing communication, Sprinkles has an eye irritation and she reached out to see if she should take him to the vet. This was something I am already aware of but really appreciate her keeping a watchful eye on my babies.
Wow! Faith was like hiring myself to take care of my dogs and my home only She was better than me! Waaaayyy exceeded my most hopeful expectations. I might even check her schedule before I book my next getaway. She is a conscious adult. My dogs are very happy and well exercised. My home is perfect. This is a thing that gives me great anxiety. I LOVE my dogs! Faith did too! Again...Wow! I am happy to give an in person review for anyone who might be concerned. I don't know if that is possible on this app. She is an AllStar Human Being.

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 Kennewick 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 Kennewick 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 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!
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.
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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
