“Avita took great care of my two cats and even spent extra time with them while I was gone on a longer trip. She made both the kitties and myself feel completely at ease. By the end of the trip, they were her new best friends—curling up on her chest and giving her kisses, which is a massive compliment from my cats! She also took special care of my plants. She is thoughtful, kind, highly responsive, and so easy to work with. I would recommend her to anyone!”

“Emily stayed at our house and watched our 2 dogs while we were in Aruba for a week. She did an excellent job! She sent multiple photo's daily and keep us informed the entire time. She played with our 4 yr old, blue healer border collie in the snow which she absolutely loved and cared for and comforted our 16 yr old Yochen who is a bit more difficult due to his age. We came home to a clean house which was greatly appreciated. I would definitely use her again on our next adventure.”

About: Cats have been part of my life for more than 25 years. I grew up with them, and for over a decade I’ve been the go-to cat sitter for family and friends. That experience has taught me that every cat is different, and that great care means meeting each one where they are. I’ve cared for just about every kind of cat: short-haired and long-haired, tiny kittens and senior cats, high-energy explorers and shy, anxious hiders. With playful cats, I make sure they get plenty of stimulation and attention. With nervous or timid cats, I take things slow, give them space, and let them warm up on their own terms. Seniors get the gentle patience they deserve. I’m also comfortable caring for cats with special needs, including those on medication. I’ll follow your instructions and schedule carefully so your cat’s routine stays consistent while you’re away. You’ll get regular updates and photos so you never have to wonder how your kitty is doing. My goal is simple: your cat stays happy, healthy, and comfortable, and you get real peace of mind. I have a very flexible schedule, so I’m available for drop-in visits anytime from early morning to evening, including weekends and holidays. Visits can be 30 minutes to an hour, depending on your cat’s needs. I’m also happy to do more than one visit a day if needed. Establishing trust with your furry loved one is my # 1 priority. I will follow your instructions for initiating initial contact with your pet and then work to make them feel comfortable and safe while I take care of their needs.

Thank you to Cody! Marisol and Henry were happy and healthy when we returned home yesterday. We really relaxed and enjoyed our vacation knowing he was there to care for them. I could tell by the photos that Marisol especially enjoyed trips to the dog park and she knows she has a new friend in Cody.

Allison did a great job watching my dog. I used her for 8 days to watch my dog at my house. I have a 2 year old rescue mixed terrier with high energy and Allison was a trooper handling him. She gave him multiple walks and played with him to release his energy. She also left my house in great shape, including washing bedding and towels she had used. She even watered my flowers and brought my mail in. I would highly recommend using Allison for any of your pets needs. Great job Allison!

Corey was absolutely amazing with our fur babies. We needed someone to step in and care for our pets last minute as our initial Pet sitter became sick a couple of days before we left for a trip. Corey was able to meet with us and the pets and step up to house sit while we were away. He was absolutely incredible with them. Corey spent quality time playing with, feeding, and caring for our “kiddos.” we got lots of updates throughout each day and his overall communication was spot on. The house was all taken care of and in great condition when we returned. He took care of packages that arrived that were work-sensitive with trust and easy communication of where they were placed so we’d have no trouble finding them. Our fur babies loved him and we will absolutely look for Corey’s help in the future. it’s easy to tell that Corey truly cares for his clients and loves the work he does. He’s fantastic!

Grace did a wonderful job house-sitting and watching our dog Angus for a week. She was very patient when meeting Angus at first, as he can be shy with strangers, but he warmed up to her quickly and enjoyed a week of walks and pets! She communicated well and sent pictures of their days. Thank you, Grace!

Michael and his partner Lauren were amazing house/pet sitters during my week-long trip. They were very flexible, communicative, and caring throughout the whole process. My dog was recovering from surgery and my cat was a little skittish but they were patient and attentive to both of them. I would definitely recommend them for pet sitting to anyone.

Val was phenomenal! She was so kind and patient with our very anxious dog. Our dog can be difficult and is very vocal with new people, but Val was able to handle her and gain her trust. She checked in with us every night to let us know how the day went, which reduced our anxiety so much! Val was also kind enough to clean up our place and bring our packages in without being asked - somehow leaving our home better than how we left it! We absolutely will book with Val again!!

FAQs for House Sitting - Richfield

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of House Sitting in Richfield is $50 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $32 and $86 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of October 2026, there are 3,444 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Richfield. 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 Richfield 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 Richfield 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 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!

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 , 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 .

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 .

sitters on Rover set their own , 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.

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

  • 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% 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.
