Sarah was amazing! She did a number of drop ins with our dog, and we would definitely book her again. Her communication, care for our pup, and detailed updates were so great, and made us feel comfortable even when we weren’t there. Grateful for Sarah and hope to book her again!

Ed really goes the extra mile, not only for the pets for whom he is caring, but also with keeping their “parents” entertained with stories, puzzles, and humor. We look forward to each time he sits for us!

Iris did a great job with our two cats for drop-in visits. She shared pictures, gave updates and observations. We feel our fur babies were well taken care of and would recommend Iris.

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and have been a dedicated dog owner for over 8 years. For the past 3 years, I’ve also fostered pups, giving me experience with a wide range of temperaments and styles. I’m comfortable with everything from high energy personalities to shy or anxious dogs. I’m comfortable with senior dogs (my last pup was 18!), puppies and everything in between. At this time, I’m focusing on small and medium sized dogs so they will be the best match for my own dog and I can provide the best care possible. I work full time from home and am available to board in my house anytime for most lengths of time. Lots of time to play with your pup! Right now, I’m open to hosting small and medium pups—as they are the best matches for my own dog. My dog, Elliot, loves to go for walks (weather permitting) and we’d love for your pup to tag along! If the weather is bad, my yard is perfect for zoomies, ball/toy chasing, neighbor watching and basking in the sun. I have my own small pup who is energetic and loves to play, but isn’t pushy. I work from home so we are together all the time! We walk often—in the morning, at lunch and in evenings. I have a fenced in yard for potty breaks with lots of toys and enrichment. I am home most of the time, but would contain (kennel or pen if needed) when I leave and I’m also open to pups that aren’t kenneled but safe to leave out (I’d put away my own dog).

About: I became a dog mom in 2026 to my handsome boy Dice and quickly got involved with the rescue I adopted him from. Since then, I’ve fostered 20+ dogs and even foster failed with Ace! I love dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities and have experience with shy, fearful, excitable, reactive, and easygoing dogs. I’ve also completed four levels of obedience training with my dogs. My own dogs have taught me a lot about meeting dogs where they are. Dice is a senior gentleman who loves leisurely walks filled with sniffing and marking. Ace is my four-year-old shy boy who was very shut down and scared of everything when I got him. Watching his confidence grow has been incredibly rewarding—and today he’s a total love bug! I genuinely enjoy getting to know each dog’s personality, learning their cues, and figuring out what makes them feel comfortable and happy. I’m available weekdays and have flexibility to tailor walks and visits to what your dog needs. Whether your pup wants a long walk, a run, a short potty break, or a leisurely sniff-and-explore adventure, I’m happy to follow their lead. I want walks to be enjoyable for your dog rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach. I’m doing Rover during a career transition because I can’t think of a better way to spend my weekdays than getting outside, getting some exercise, and hanging out with dogs! ❤️ Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I’m comfortable working with reactive dogs and will follow your guidance on how to reinforce their training and manage their triggers. I’m also comfortable caring for dogs with special needs and will carefully follow any instructions, medications, routines, or other care requirements you provide. What you can expect from me: * 🐾 Plenty of attention, patience & affection * 🐾 Walks tailored to your dog’s needs and personality * 🐾 Respect for your dog’s routines and training * 🐾 A calm, thoughtful approach with nervous or reactive dogs * 🐾 Photos and updates after visits * 🐾 Someone who genuinely loves getting to know each dog After fostering 20+ dogs, I’ve learned that every dog communicates differently. I’ll take the time to understand your dog and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away.

Kiah was great to Tanny, she helped me figure things out because it was my first time getting a dog sitter. It was relieving to know somebody was going to be there to feed my older dog and give her medicine when I was gone. I am planning on booking with her every time I have a long day at work 😊

About: I’ve taken care of dogs for over 20 years. Purebred goldens, Corgi’s, Aussie Shepherds, and a variety of rescue dogs to name some. I work from home and have a fenced in yard. I really enjoy having visitors. I have a 3 day in advance cancellation policy. I’m minutes from the airport and many clients use me for longer stays during International travel. I’m able to give guests great attention. Love to show them a good time balancing entertainment, exercise, and rest. I’m usually able to do meet and greets. I have a fenced in yard and generally go outside with them or keep a close eye through the windows. I’m protective given the predators in the community.

About: Hi, I’m Deanna! I’m a lifelong animal lover and 25+ year dog/cat mom. I have two friendly small dogs and two dog-friendly cats. I’ve fostered dogs and been dog sitting for friends & family for many years - I’ve even taken care of snakes and lizards! I have personal experience with senior dogs who might need an extra loving hand. I have a safe and secure fenced back yard to play and relax in. Contact me to set up a meet & greet or with questions you may have. I look forward to meeting you and your special pup! Please note: pick up is required by 6:00pm. I give my resident dogs two to three long walks every day, with frequent potty/yard breaks. I have pet beds in my home office while I work. I have a fenced in yard, several doggy beds, and animals are allowed on my furniture. My resident dogs are small and like to play (gently) and have lots of toys to share, or just enjoy cuddling with other frequent nappers. I have two crates on-site or you can bring your own!

About: Caring for pets has been a big part of my life for many years. As a professional pet sitter and shelter volunteer with decades of experience, I understand how important it is for pets to feel safe, comfortable and loved while their humans are away. I treat every pet as if they were my own and always pay close attention to their individual needs, personalities and routines. I offer dog-walking, drop-in visits, daycare, and house sitting, and I'm happy to care for pets of different sizes, ages, and energy levels. Whether your dog needs an energetic walk, or your pet needs company and attention during the day, or you need someone reliable to care for your home and animals while you're away, you can count on me! Pet owners can expect dependable care, lots of affection for their pets, and regular updates with photos for peace of mind. My goal is to make sure your pets stay happy, relaxed and well cared for while you're away. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! I do like to travel, but otherwise have a flexible schedule that allows me to give pets the time, attention and care they deserve. I'm available for dog walking, drop-in visits, daycare and house sitting throughout the week. I'm also available on weekends and holidays, making it easier for pet owners who need reliable care during busy times or while travelling. I always do my best to accommodate scheduling needs to provide dependable care whenever its needed. Your pet's safety, comfort and happiness are always my top priorities. I understand how important it is for pets to feel secure and relaxed while their humans are away. I provide a calm, caring and attentive environment where pets receive plenty of love, enrichment and supervision. I carefully follow each pet's routine, including feeding schedules, exercise needs, and any special instructions to make sure they feel comfortable and stress free. Your pet will always be treated with kindness, respect and the same care I would give my own.

Sarah took fantastic care of my little parrot while I was on vacation. I was giving Rover another chance after a really bad experience with a sitter, which I mention only because it means that I was particularly nervous about hiring Sarah. I shouldn't have worried at all! Sarah was incredible. She is professional, responsible, and has a genuine love for animals to boot. She was always responsive to my texts and sent me pictures and a summary of the stay each day, which helped set my mind at ease that my pet was happy and being well cared for. From now on, I will be booking with Sarah any time I leave town and I recommend you do too if you are interested in peace of mind!

About: Animal lover here, excited to care for your pup! I have experience with many breeds and can't wait to share adventures on our time together! I work 8-5 mainly with a shorter workday Friday. I have weekends off and I am looking to spend some time keeping your animals company. Typically don’t have a long lunch, but can potentially be flexible if needed. Grew up with dogs around me and have plenty experience watching peoples pets. Love following list of needs so they feel most comfortable when they aren’t with their parents!

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Richfield

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Sitting in Richfield on Rover is $22.2 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog 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 Dog Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of September 2026, there are 5,669 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Richfield. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Richfield stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.

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 Richfield 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. 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 .

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.

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 Richfield with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Richfield. On Rover:

  • 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 97% 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.

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.
