“We had a great experience with haley. She did a great job taking care of layla. Was very professional we had a meet and greet before the care started she asked all the right questions to get to know our layla. She did a good job would book again.”
“Kaylie was excellent sitter to Winter. She gave him time to settle with her and then took him on walks. She made a point to regularly send pictures and updates on him. Thank you Kaylie for taking good care of Winter”
“Barbara was amazing with our fur babies!! She was very attentive and kept in constant contact with pictures throughout the duration of our trip. Our home was also kept tidy and was well cared for while we were away. We will definitely be booking her again and would highly recommend to anyone who wants to have peace of mind while on vacation.”
“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.”
“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!”
“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.”
“Chase was wonderful with our rambunctious 11 month old dog. He even went above and beyond to ensure our dogs safety when our house was placed just outside a wildfire evacuation warning.”
About: I've kettle trained puppy's. On many occasions I would have to hear a pup cry all night long. I've taught them to wait until going outside to poo. I can also say that I have dealt with dogs that pee out of excitement, fear, etc. I only had some brief experience with a senior dog which was my older sisters dog. I have my own dog and have picked up grooming skills. I want to have a flexible schedule because I am planning to go back to school. I also love animals and do not find it hard to take care of them. This job would allow me to fit two things I love into my life with minimal problem. At home I have a small dog who is 2 years old. He still has a puppy mindset and loves to go on walks. I groom him every other day. I cut his nails even when he dislikes it and I bathe him. Every client is different, every animal is different. I would like to communicate what they want from me and what I can do for them. With every client I can assure I will do my best to take care of their beloved animal(s).
“Such a professional! Pups were worn out when we got home which was great. Her communication is outstanding AND she got my house in order before I returned home and it was such a great return home.”
“I can’t recommend Marsha highly enough! She was thoughtful, communicative, and clearly has a natural way with animals. My dogs absolutely loved spending time with her, which was evident from the wonderful photos she shared and how happy and relaxed they were when I got home. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing they were in such great hands. I’ll definitely be booking with Marsha again!”
“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.”
“Lari was soooo attentive and thoughtful! You could tell she loved on my sweet Ammo boy as if he was her own dog! She made sure his time was enriched with outings and walks and playtime… she was attentive to details in all aspects of his care and home sitting and was so respectful of my home! I will be using her again for sure!!!!”
“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.”
“Samantha and Emily took care of our dog for 2 weeks while we were on vacation! We got pictures, videos and updates throughout the whole trip and could tell our baby was happy. Would definitely recommend her services! Thank you again 🙏🏼”
“Rachel was absolutely wonderful! She came for a meet and greet with dog, Lyra and Lyra loved her. She was very communicative and sent pictures every day. Highly recommend.”
“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!”

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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 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.
