“I can always count on Alyson to watch over our house and our fur babies while we’re out. I’ve used Rover in various states and cities we’ve lived, Alyson is definitely one of the top sitters we’ve ever had. We’ve had her sit several times and every time we’re back to happy healthy babies and a clean house. Thank you!!!”
“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.”
“Barbara did a fantastic job. Our pup was well taken care of and Barbara did an amazing job of sending updates while we were away. We came home to a happy and calm dog. Would highly recommend.”
“There is not enough that can be said for how amazing she is. If it wasn't for Haley's last minute availability we would have missed an amazing opportunity out of town. Incredible communication and patience. This is a superb sitter that I will be using for years to come. We greatly appreciate her insistence on a meet and greet and being flexible with the meeting time. I can say enough for how amazing she is. Buzz and Woody felt safe and right at home.”
“We would not hesitate to book Ysobel again. Her communication is wonderful, she is very helpful, and truly cares for our pets while she is with them. We really appreciate the care she puts into her stays and the compassion and passion she has for animals. I highly suggest her if you need anyone to come and stay at your house.”
“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.”
“Marsha was a great sitter! She was very attentive and our two dogs loved her. She stayed for a 3 night trip. She was reliable and sent us picture updates. Very much a dog lover!”
“Cesilia was amazing with my dogs, Loki & Raider! Raider (Ray) is very shy around new people, but Cesilia really brought Ray out of her shell. I received lots of photos, videos, and updates during my vacation, so I was able to just enjoy my time away, instead of stressing about my dogs and house. I highly recommend Cesilia for dog and house sitting, I will definitely hire her again in the future.”
“Loved working with Kaylee. Our dog can be destructive when we’re gone and she spent lots of time loving on him. She sent pictures and texts so we could see how it was going. She asked questions if she needed more info on Joey’s routines. And she remembered to water the plants and bring in the mail and the garbage cans. Definitely 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!”
“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!”
“Arrived as scheduled. Communication great and included lots of pictures. Very responsive to my questions. Arrived back to happy dogs and tidy and clean home. Definitely recommend and would use again”
“Briana did amazing. She went above and beyond for my pups. One had recent surgery for a CCL and weighs 60 pounds, and I was surprised to see her carrying up and down the stairs (3 flights) the entire weekend I was gone. Was not expecting that. Definitely would recommend and will be using her in the future!”
“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.”
About: I’ve had pets for as long as I can remember, starting off with bunnies. I got my 1st puppy (chihuahua weiner mix) in 2010 he is now 14 and a senior but I trained him myself and is living a happy life. I also have 2 huskies that I trained when they were puppies and they have a lot of personality. So I can hold it down when I take them all on a walk. I work weekdays but am available weekends for any pet care. I like to workout but going on walks is also a nice way to stay active. I follow their feeding or medication schedule and other instructions given by client. Please let me know of triggers or any other information that will ensure I can take the best care of your fur baby.
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!
“Paulina did a wonderful job with our pets. The stay was during Christmas, so it was extra special that she could stay at our home to care for our dogs. I will definitely have Paulina again!”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Kennewick is $40

We are so grateful for Nichole! She looked after our dogs beautifully and stayed in great communication with us the whole time. She followed every instruction and went above and beyond to clean before we got home. We came back to happy pups and a spotless house. Thank you, 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
- 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 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.
