“Cassidy was an amazing sitter! Chessy was so excited to see her and cried when she left. I knew my pup was well taken care of. She was very respectful of my place. I would not hesitate to book again or recommend her to others!”
“Brooke did a great job with our high-energy dog, Isa! Brooke is very knowledgeable about enrichment activities and was both patient and proactive with our dog. Isa can be sensitive while we’re away. It made such a difference that Brooke sent wonderful updates throughout our trip and Isa looked happy and very well cared for. We came home to a clean house and a happy dog!”
“We are so grateful to have found Iuliia on Rover when we first moved to MSP. She was so flexible and did so well meeting our dog for the first time (who is VERY anxious and barks a lot at new people). A year later and in need of a last minute sitter, Iuliia was available and we are so glad she was willing to watch our sweet pup. She has so much experience especially with dogs who are anxious/can come across as somewhat scary and aggressive. She handles our scared pup with so gentleness and patience. Our dog is tough to meet at first but Iuliia was unphased! We are so grateful for her and will absolutely be repeat customers!!!”
“Carolyn treated my dog so well! She followed my notes to a T and ensured that she got lots of exercise and stimulation. She also provided frequent updates and photos. I can tell she cares deeply about animals, and I’m grateful she was able to watch my girl while I was out of town. I will definitely keep her in mind for future pet sitting needs!”
“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!”
“We are so grateful for the amazing care Meghan gave to Rambo and Simba! She was reliable, kind, and kept us updated while we were away, which gave us so much peace of mind. Our boys were happy, well cared for, and comfortable when we got back. You can truly tell she loves animals and treats them like her own. We highly recommend Meghan and will always be our #1 sitter!”
“Summer was great with our pup Holly. She sent a lot of pictures and Holly is obviously happy and comfortable in each pic. She communicated regularly so our minds were at ease. Thanks much!”
“Karina did a great job watching my senior cat who is on two different medications, and the house also looked great when I returned. Would definitely use her again!”
“Lilah was awesome with our dog while we were out of town for a night! She was timely, attentive, and made sure to send us updates & pictures! We’ll definitely use her again!”
“Once again, Marykay took excellent care of my dog and my house. I am thoroughly satisfied with her services and highly recommend her. Her reliability and care provide peace of mind every time. Highly recommended!”
“Grace was great. A sitter I had lined up had an emergency, so I had to find someone the day care was supposed to begin. Grace stepped in never meeting Wally, learned as much about him as she could beforehand, and seemed to do great. She played with him, kept me updated on his feeding, and left the house in good condition. Can't thank Grace enough, especially for stepping into a rushed situation like that.”
“Maggie was great! What a find! I changed the trip dates at least three times on her. Thankfully, she was able to accommodate the final dates. She sent pictures everyday and kept us current on how Bodie was doing. Hopefully Maggie is available again when we need to travel!”
“Dannie did such an amazing job with my sweet Pax while I was out of town! He’s a slow-moving older guy who needs some extra TLC and I can tell he was wonderfully cared for by Dannie and loved having a new friend to spend the weekend with! My house was so clean and in wonderful shape when I got home, I would absolutely recommend Dannie and can’t wait for Pax to see her on our next booking!”
“Kat is AMAZING! My 2 golden retrievers love her. She is very communicative and takes photos and sends them often… she stays in my house and is very trust worthy and timely! Can’t wait to use her again soon!”
“Piper received such good care with Tatiana- she got walked, fed, loved and trained to help learn “quiet”. I felt very comfortable leaving Piper with Tatiana knowing how attentive she would be throughout her stay!”
“Our boy Hagrid absolutely adored Andy! She took amazing care of him and our home, and sent plenty of pictures while we were away. Highly recommend and would definitely book again for future trips!”
“It's always a good sign when the pups are happy to see you, and also sad to see Erin go. Erin always takes wonderful care of my pups and they are always sad to see her go!”
About: I’ve grown up around dogs my entire life and have always loved spending time with them. I’m a very active person and enjoy being outside, so I’m more than happy to take dogs on walks, play with them, and make sure they get plenty of exercise. I will meet your dog at their level, whether that means keeping up with a high-energy dog or enjoying some chill relaxation together. I can also help with basic training and reinforce good habits. I’d love the opportunity to care for your dog and make sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. I work full-time as an engineer, but after recently moving to a new state, I’ve been missing having animals around. I decided to join because I’d love to spend time with pets and give them the care and attention they deserve. I’m up early and often up late, and I’m able to check in around lunch during my workday. I’m also available after I get off work at 4 PM, when I can spend more time with your pet, take them for walks, play with them, and give them plenty of attention. On weekends, I’m available all day and can dedicate as much time as needed to caring for your pet. I treat every pet and every home with the same care and respect I would want for my own. I follow your instructions closely, keep your pet’s routine as consistent as possible, and make sure doors, gates, and other entry points are secure. I’m attentive to your pet’s behavior and needs, and I’ll always prioritize their safety and comfort. I also treat your home with respect by keeping things clean, being mindful of belongings, and leaving everything just as I found it. Most importantly, I want you to feel completely comfortable knowing your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away!

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Richfield
Iris is amazing, and she takes such wonderful care of our three energetic and very affectionate standard poodles. We never worry about the boys while Iris stays at our house, and it lets us enjoy our vacations in far off locations, knowing our furry babies are in expert hands in a familiar environment. She gets all the stars, and we would recommend her to anyone who needs a loving and very experienced pet sitter!!
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.
Molly was great taking care of my two cats for a week at my home. She left the house clean and the cats seemed perfectly happy when I got home! Molly was great with communication ahead of time and during the stay, sending me daily updates and pictures of the cats. Would definitely hire her again!
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!!
Corey was an exceptional sitter for Juni! He was so great at communicating throughout the stay and made sure to send plenty of updates and pictures/videos. He was so attentive to Juni’s needs and was so great at working on giving her meds! I really appreciated is attention to details and that he seemed to really care about bonding with her. I would absolutely recommend Corey for any pet sitting needs and look forward to having him back.
Cicely did a fantastic job with Odin, sending daily check ins and photos during her stay at our home. We came home to a clean house and happy puppy! I was also impressed with her professionalism and organization, making booking and preparing our house and pup pre-vacation a breeze.
McKenna was absolutely amazing for our dog Groovy! She provided us with updates multiple times a day and made us feel comfortable leaving our furry friend as we traveled to Europe! We felt so comfortable knowing she was taking care of her and we were able to relax and enjoy our vacation. I would have her watch our dog again in a heartbeat.
Catherine is beyond a dream. Knowledgeable about dogs, deeply caring, and knows how to make a potentially stressful situation for a pet, one they will actually enjoy. My son’s wedding out of town required two nights of house and dog sitting. We had the cutest pictures of him clearly loving his time with her and snuggled up just as he would with us. She also treated our home with great care. 10/10. Would request her again in a second!

FAQs for House Sitting - Richfield
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Richfield on Rover is $50.2 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 3,461 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 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 Richfield. On Rover:
- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% 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.
