“Michelle was easy to communicate with and treated our dogs extremely well. It is clear she has exceptional experience with all kinds of temperaments. She sends updates to keep you at ease and is an incredible host guest. Look forward to using her again in the near future.”
“Briana is a responsible, reliable and respectful person. She watched our pup while we were out of town. She followed our guidelines we provided to her on caring for our dog as well as watching over our house. She was great at providing daily updates to ensure our dog was okay. She kept our house clean and tidy.”
“Kaiti stayed with our 2 dogs and cat for a week! This was her first stay with our kids and everything went really well! We kind of have a complex little pup and she handled him very well! She gave him his space but also did his most favorite thing in the world…fetch! When we came home, the house was just the way we left it and we were very appreciate how quick she was when responding to us. We hope to have her watch our babies again soon!”
“Lexi was a great house / dog sitter. She was very responsive and took good care of our anxious fur baby while we were out of town. We will definitely use her services again in the future!”
“So unfortunately Haley was unable to unlock front door with my house key. She was very sorry, and tried many times I guess. I should have explained its abit tricky, as you have to pull in as you turn. Anyways, she seems amazing, and will use her in future.”
“Raeanna arrived early as I was a bit nervous about leaving my babies while I was gone for a week. She was friendly and warm. Smokey took to her immediately. 2Moons is a shy and strangely timid cat. He warmed up to her by evening and had a wonderful week. Both cats were well and happy when I returned. I am so glad to have had Raeanna stay with them”
“Barb was absolutely wonderful! She went above and beyond to make sure our fur babies were happy and comfortable while we were away. We have a 17 year Yorkie who mostly sleeps and she somehow managed to convince him to eat twice a day which is no small feat! She also checked on him often and gently petting him in his bed to make sure he was okay or would bring him to the couch as he sleeps by her side. Barb read our pet sitting instructions carefully and followed them exactly. She was always on time, incredibly attentive, loving, and truly reliable - we couldn't ask for a better sitter💕. Highly recommend!"”
“Sariah came and stayed with our two older dogs for several days. Our shepherd has heart issues, so we wanted to find someone who would know how to handle multiple medications, as well as observe him for behavioral changes that might signal a change in his condition. We hit the jackpot with Sariah. She has lived a lifetime of caring for pets with much more complicated medical issues than what we were asking of her. She came before the booking to meet with us and our dogs, and I knew immediately that they would be in good hands. We had regular check-in's the first couple of days, and she was quick to respond to each question via text. 10/10 would recommend!”
“Marsha is amazing!!! She treats your dogs like her own and sends so many videos and pictures for updates :) We were gone for 4 nights and ended up having to be gone for 5 and she was able to stay and help out last minute!! We can’t thank her enough. If you want someone who cares for your pets like family, book her :)”
“Arlin & Edgar were absolutely fantastic! Very communicative, provided many updates and pictures, and took my dog on so many excursions while I was gone so she wasn’t stuck at home. Would definitely use again and felt very at ease leaving my dog in their care.”
“Faith did a fantastic job with our two busy Labradors. She followed their schedule perfectly and made sure they got plenty of exercise. The 6 days she was here wasn’t with challenges and she handled them perfectly. I appreciated all the updates and pictures. Her sister, Shauna stepped in when Faith had to take her Mother to the doctor. Both ladies were lovely and I will definitely use them again.”
“So appreciate how dedicated and professional Tamara is with our boy Scooter. This time there was a wind storm and she even put away some yard objects so they would not blow away. Amazing service!”
“Levi was incredible & went above and beyond!! My husband and I flew home for the holidays and got trapped at the airport for two days. Levi adjusted his plans to ensure Pax had someone to watch him. If you need a sitter, look no further! Levi will care for your pet as if they are his own! ❤️”
“Ian did a great job of dog sitting for me. He was quick to communicate right from the start. I have a senior dog, and he really understood her needs, and followed the care instructions. I felt warmth & care from him toward her right away. One small hiccup came up during the week and he let me know right away so I was able to check with her vet as to what to do. He then followed those new instructions. I asked for pics & texts every day (I'm that dog mom) and he came through with great updates every day. I came home to clean home, and happy well cared for dog. I'd be happy to hire Ian again.”
“Kacie was extremely accommodating for our trip which was a little short notice. She really cared for our dogs and I felt completely comfortable leaving them in her care! She even left some banana bread for my family. I would definitely recommend her!”
“Kaylee was a big help to us. She agreed to the sitting on short notice and that enabled us to attend a funeral in Taiwan. The house was kept in good condition - she washed the sheets and towels, as well as the dishes. Chloe is a rescue pup with anxiety issues, and Kaylee was able to help her deal with our absence.”
“Kaylie was amazing with our boys! She was able to stay last minute and I will book her again. She was responsive, kind, and helpful with our boys. I appreciate her and recommend her for anyone!”
“She took great care of our two doggos! Sent updates on them and kept them so active with walks and playing. We felt so comfortable leaving our dogs with her and will be using her in the future”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Kennewick
Nichole was great with our dog, Nova! She has some high needs and is very particular about people entering our home. Nichole took great care to make sure Nova was comfortable with her and helped make sure everything went over smoothly. Loved all the photo/video/text updates and I think it’s safe to say that they are good buddies now. We are incredibly grateful for Nichole!
Absolutely wonderful with my older-anxious-disabled dog! Michelle sent proactive updates and daily photos of Sway and both kitties - I had no doubts I would come home to happy pets because my dog lovedddd Michelle when they first met. The house was also spotless as a perk! 10/10 recommend.
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.

FAQs for House Sitting - Kennewick
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Kennewick on Rover is $37.45 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 223 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Kennewick. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Kennewick. On Rover:
- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 94% 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.
