“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.”
“Amanda came to the house while we were out of town to let our two elderly dogs out. She was great with communication and made sure I knew how both pups did and sent photos. I will definitely choose her again in the future.”
“Lindsay was very communicative during her visits, sending updates and pictures of our kitties with all the needed information. She was great to work with and gave our pets good attention and care! It was wonderful to have peace of mind while we were out of town, especially given one of our cats has diabetes and needs medicine twice a day. We are very grateful!”
About: With a lifetime of caring for dogs of all shapes and personalities, I know how important trust is. I show up on time, follow routines closely, and treat every dog like they’re my own. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine. I’m an early riser, so morning walks before my workday are one of my favorite ways to start the day. I also keep my weekends flexible and am available for morning and afternoon walks. This consistency helps me provide dependable, stress-free care for both you and your pup. When caring for pets, I follow your routines closely and keep things calm and consistent. I double check doors, gates, and leashes, and I pay close attention to each dogs body language with experience from Chihuahuas to great Danes, I know how to keep every pup, safe, comfortable, and well cared for.
About: I love having dog friends around and so does my little dog Boo Boo. My dog is 17lbs and loves to play. I enjoy teaching dogs new tricks or brushing up on any training that needs to be done. I typically walk my dog 3 times a day and can accomodate more if needed. I also have a fenced in backyard that your dog is welcome to roam around in. I live 10 minutes from the airport which helps for easy drop off/pickup if you are traveling by plane. I know how special our dog friends are so I hope to treat them like part of the family when they are here. Dogs are such special little creatures and I'm so grateful we get to have them in our lives. I currently work at home 3 days a week and in the office 2 days a week. Adjustments can possibly be made if needed. If I'm watching your dog, I would plan to be home most of the time during their stay. I have a fenced yard and dogs are allowed to roam free in the house unless other needs are required. If your dog needs to be crated, I have a small kennel that can be used, otherwise a larger one will need to be provided. Dogs are expected to be potty trained unless they are still a puppy.
About: I've been dog sitting for the last 10 years, and caring for dogs has always been a big part of my life. I grew up with three dogs, a Standard Poodle and two Mini Goldendoodles, so I'm very comfortable with dogs of different sizes, personalities, and energy levels. Through years of pet sitting for family, friends, and neighbors, I've learned how important it is to keep pets on their normal routine while giving them plenty of love and attention. I have a pretty open availability at the moment so I can help let you dogs out/walk them anytime! So excited to meet your pups! Your pet's safety and happiness are always my top priorities. I'll carefully follow your instructions for feeding, walks, medications, and any special needs to make sure your pet is comfortable and well cared for. I'll also provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you're away. I'll treat your furry family member with the same love and care I would give my own.
About: I’ve been taking care of animals of all kinds my whole life. I’ve breed fish, I’ve raised six puppies, I took care of three darling bearded dragons for a year, I work as a volunteer coordinator for the bond between, and I’ve even taken care of several dogs in hospice. I have genuinely loved animals all my life and cannot wait to spend the rest of my life, caring for and loving them so I hope you allow me to spend a little of my time caring for and loving your animals. I currently work part-time as a custom designer and actor as well as coordinating volunteer events for the bond between, so I have plenty of time to spend taking care of your lovely animals. A couple years ago I worked as an assistant dog trainer so I am very familiar with pet safety. I’ve also raised several puppies so I know how much they can get into stuff. I will always be keeping a careful watchful eye on any animals in the house as well as following any rules set in place by the owners and in case of any emergency, I’ve got a vet as a sister on speed dial.
“Joanna did a great job checking in on my kitty Peaches. She reliably showed up as promised, communicated well, shared pictures and my cat loved her. She was good at telling with Peaches was in the mood to play or in the mood to cuddle and gave her all the love she craved. I will definitely have Joanna look in on Peaches again in the future. Highly recommend.”
“Brooke took great care of our dog and cat! She was reliable and thoughtful, and stayed with our dog until he ate each visit. Our grouchy cat even enjoyed her company and purred for her when she came over!”
“Megan did amazing job taking care of Toffee and Ellie while I was gone! She was able to find a way to win them both over (and that isn’t an easy task), and I could tell that both of them liked her a lot. I will definitely reach out to Megan again in the future!”
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.
“This is your sign to hire Shannon for all your pet care and pet sitting needs! Her Rover cards are the highlight of my day when I’m out of town. She is so thorough and cares for my cat, Sodapop, as if she were her own fur baby.”
“Dana was available last minute for a weekend of drop-ins. She was very attentive and on time, dogs were so happy and well cared for! She even tried to dry them up after some rain (which is quick the feat). Very thankful for her willingness to care for our girls!”
“I came home to happy kitties and an orderly house...love Melanie's pet sits Always pix and cute updates. I especially appreciate Melanie's attention to my special requests. I can always count on happy kitties and a well cared for home.”
About: I have had dogs and cats my entire life. I have also helped raise and care for other people's pets. I would be happy to take your dog on walks, potty breaks or for overnights. I can also visit your cat and give it love and attention when you're away. We have a 16lb dog ourselves who is very dog friendly. I work from home so I am available any day from 8am - 7pm for walks or potty breaks. If your dog prefers running we can talk about running as an option! I have a fenced in yard with a fence high enough for small and medium sized dogs. Our 16lb 5 yr old dog is very dog friendly.
About: We are dog lovers with deep experience in dog-sitting and walking services. We regularly take care of our friends' pets and are experts in having fun and getting exercise at the dog park. Teri comes from a dog care and grooming family, while Paul brings more than 40 years of experience caring for, training and spoiling dogs of all shapes, sizes and colors. We have a fenced-in yard in the Kenny neighborhood, close to the Minnehaha Creek and other hiking paths. We only watch one dog (or bonded pair) at a time, so your pup will get all of the attention it deserves. Three of our dogs have had special health care needs. Two had Addison's Disease, meaning we are experienced at giving injections and oral medication. Our current pup, Nessie, is a smaller-sized standard poodle. She loves everyone and is a great co-host! Please let us know your dog's needs and how we can be of service. We look forward to meeting your pup soon! We are semi-retired and mostly work from home, meaning that we are highly available to provide walks, visits and boarding services. We are frequent visitors of the Airport dog park. We have a fenced-in back yard, which provides ample space for playtime with Nessie. We are semi-retired, which means we have ample time to provide attention to your four-footed friends.

Lauren did an amazing job with our pets! We needed our cat Franklin + 2 geckos looked after while out of town, and she took care all of them like a pro. Communication was great, and consistent with every visit we had scheduled. She paid very close attention to every detail in our care instructions. It was a pleasure working with you, and we would love to have take care of our them again!
McKenna was amazing. My baby Ozzy was in the best of hands with her today. She took such good care of my toy golden doodle. He is happy and exhausted thanks to great walks, cuddles and care. Will hopefully have the chance to have Ozzy stay with McKenna again!!! Thanks so much. Dave
Josephine was amazing! My pup is very shy and sometimes stand offish to new people but he warmed right up to Josephine. We had a very late request for in-home visits and Josephine was able to accommodate for us and was very timely with her responses. She provided updates at every check in and even took our pup for a short walk on most visits! Can’t thank you enough Josephine, we will be requesting your help again in the future!!
My pups always look happy to see Sky! She took amazing care of my dog and provides great updates, photos, and thoughtful communication throughout. I felt completely at ease knowing my dog was in such capable and caring hands. Repeat customer that highly recommens and will definitely book again.
Kelly immediately became such a special part of ours and our mini golden doodle, Lewis’, routine! We are so grateful for Kelly’s flexibility with our (sometimes unpredictable) schedule. We have had to make several last minute changes and Kelly is always responsive and adaptable. She’s intentional and takes several photos each time she visits Lewis and gives a thorough description of their time together. She plays with him and wears him out for when we return from work. Kelly is great to work with and so friendly!

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.

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.
