“We didn't know Julie beforehand except for doing a brief meet-and-greet, but she stayed at our house with our small dog for a long weekend when we were traveling, and did a great job. I always worry about my little pup who is very shy and attached to my wife and me, and has a hard time warming up to other people. She was shy and probably confused at first, since this was only the second time we left her for the weekend, but she clearly warmed up to Julie after the first day. Julie was great about promptly responding to our messages asking how things were going, and sending pictures and videos. She kept our house very clean and even took out the trash and washed our bedding before we got home. I would definitely hire her again!”
“Carolyn did an amazing job with our cat and dog for our wedding weekend. She sure knows her animals! She was able to attract our very timid cat out of hiding by the end of her stay. We were able to rest easy knowing we had someone we could trust at home with our animals. 100% recommend”
“We had a great experience with our pet sitter! They were reliable, caring, and took great care of our dog while we were away. They kept us updated and made sure he was comfortable and well taken care of. It was such a relief knowing he was in good hands. We would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter!”
“Nyree was an amazing sitter for my little guy! She made me and my pup feel so comfortable and confident about the stay. I was gone for a week in Europe and Nyree sent me daily videos and pictures. Not only was my dog happy and healthy when I got home but she left the condo immaculate! Definitely will be using Nyree again - she’s a 12/10!!!”
“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!”
“Lilah was awesome with my dogs, and keeping me updated on them. My house was very clean when I returned. Everything was great and I would definitely recommend her, and will book her again in the future! Thanks Lilah!”
“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 really lucked out finding Amy! She accommodated our last-minute request and immediately put us at ease with her understanding of Milo’s reactivity and his individual needs. She took wonderful care of him and left our house clean and well-maintained. The sweet “welcome back” note and homemade gift she left were such a thoughtful touch! We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would highly recommend Amy to anyone looking for a caring, attentive, and reliable dog sitter. We’d absolutely book with her again!”
“It’s obvious that Erin LOVES animals. She took such great care of my two babies while I was out of town for work with regular updates to me so I didn’t miss them so much. She was also very respectful of my living space. Couldn’t recommend her more!”
“Biiftuu was an excellent dog sitter. She clearly took good care of my little Aussie poo. She sent good pictures and left the house in excellent shape. I would hire her again.”
“Haley was an amazing pet sitter! She took such great care of both our dog and our cat while we were away, and it gave us so much peace of mind. She kept us updated with photos and messages, which we really appreciated and loved receiving. When we got home, the house was spotless! Our pets were happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. I would absolutely recommend Haley to anyone looking for a reliable, thoughtful, and trustworthy pet sitter, and we’ll definitely be booking her again.”
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!
“Kendra took great care of our two dogs while we were away, and our dogs clearly enjoyed their time with her. She was kind and attentive, followed our instructions exactly, communicated frequently, and went above and beyond to keep all of us happy. We’re already looking forward to having her house sit again.”
“This was our first time with Chuck and all went well! He reached out where clarification was needed and responded and shared updates, house was clean and Churro seemed happy :) Will definitely keep him in mind for the future.”
“I definitely will be using Catarina again for any future bookings I need for Penny! She was caring, patient, and understanding with Penny. My dog tends to have behaviors and Catarina did such an amazing job communicating with me and giving me helpful tips! Thank you so much for treating Penny like she was your own!”
“Rachel is wonderful !!! She and my 1 yr old Goldador Remigus (Remi) instantly bonded at the meet and greet and became great best buddies and new friends. Would highly recommend and plan on more housesitting and/or visits when needed! Thanks so much Rachel !!! Julie and Remi”
“Claire was friendly, on time and attended to our dog's needs. Cameron was well taken care of while we were out to dinner with friends. We can recommend Claire and will use her again.”
About: What sets me apart is my mix of hands-on experience and medical knowledge. I’ve been dogsitting for 7 years, volunteered at animal shelters on and off for the past 4 years, and worked at a dog boarding facility and as a doggy day care attendant for about 1 year. I currently work as a vet assistant at an emergency clinic with almost 2.5 years of veterinary experience. I’m trained to spot early signs of pain, stress, or illness, stay calm in stressful situations, and handle medications and special needs. My biology degree with a psychology minor also helps me understand dog behavior, so I can read body language and help anxious or shy dogs feel safe. Owners can count on me for reliable updates and attentive care. Pet care fits naturally into my routine. I’ve dogsat for 7 years and work as a full time vet assistant at an ER clinic, so my schedule is consistent. I work 7am-7pm on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, plus a couple of rotating weekend shifts each pay period. I’m available on Wednesday, Thursdays, and most weekends, and I can confirm exact dates in advance. I treat every pet like my own and every home with respect. I follow the owner’s instructions on feeding, medications, routines, and house rules, and I keep dogs safe, comfortable, and on their normal schedule. I’m trained to notice signs of stress, pain, or illness, and I’ll update owners with photos and messages during the visit. I always leave the home clean and secure.
“Justine house/cat sat for our two cats and went above and beyond to make our kitties comfortable. They had a difficult time adjusting to us traveling after a really long time and needed a lot more attention especially around their feedings. Justine was so patient with them and made them feel comfortable in just a couple of days. We came home to such happy kitties.”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Richfield is $50

Grace was fantastic. She took such good care of my dog Dakota. It gave me peace of mind to know Dakota was being so well cared for it allowed me to relax and enjoy my holiday. After I got home Dakota kept going to the room Grace stayed looking for her. Look forward to booking Grace again in the future.
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!
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!!
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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Richfield is $50 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $32 and $87 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.

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 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.
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.
