“Dawn and Steven took amazing care of my dog, Boomer, while staying in my home for five nights. They followed all of his routines, kept me updated throughout their stay, and gave him plenty of love and attention. I could tell they truly cared about his comfort and happiness. I came home to a relaxed, happy dog and a spotless house. Their reliability and communication made the whole experience stress‑free. I highly recommend Dawn and Steven to anyone looking for trustworthy, caring sitters on Rover. Boomer will be excited to see them again.”

“Jeffery is absolutely terrific!! We have utilized his services for 2 years now. He has not only cared for our pet, but has also been our house sitter during our trips. We have found him to be a trustworthy and honest person who provides much love and attention to our fur baby. Our pet is a family member whom we love dearly and had a tough life prior to adopting us as his new family. Due to that, we were very concerned with finding someone who would provide the same type of love and attention as he receives from us. I am very happy to say that Jeffery has provided all of that to our pet and can ensure that he will do the same for your pet. I can't thank him enough for helping us to enjoy our time away, by caring for our pet in a way that allows to relax, knowing that he is in good hands.”

About: I have taken care of pets for family and friends that have trusted me to do it. I had taken care of many types of dogs. I have also taken care of farm animals such as goats, cows, and chickens. I have a lot of time outside of school because I have a modified schedule and I am very flexible in my time and care. I have three dogs and one tortoise. I have also cared for cats at other homes and have had no issues at all in doing so.

About: For the past 4 years, I’ve provided loving, dependable care for cats, dogs, and birds through overnight stays, drop-in visits, potty breaks, feeding, playtime, and walks. Cats are my specialty! I’m very experienced with feline behavior, shy cats and multi-cat households. I love making pets feel calm and comfortable while their owners are away. I also have experience caring for dogs with different energy levels and routines, including daily walks, companionship, and overnight care. In addition, I have hands on experience with tropical birds and understand the importance of patience, consistency and attention to detail when caring for exotic pets. What sets me apart is the genuine love and attention I give every animal! I take my time to learn each pet’s personality, routine, and comfort needs so they feel safe, relaxed, and cared for. I am reliable, communicative, and committed to making pet parents feel confident while they’re away through regular updates and attentive care. I am currently a part-time worker at a local pharmacy and a Full-Time college student looking to make extra money while doing what I love. I am free at least 3-4 days a week, the more notice the better I can work around your preferred schedule. My preference is afternoons, however if mornings or nights are needed I can accommodate! I am more free during week days but can make time on weekends around my work schedule as I typically only work 5-6 hour shifts. I currently can not offer my personal living quarters for care, however I am able to travel up to 40 miles to stay with or check on pets. If you are in need of someone urgently and live outside a 40 mile radius please message me directly and I may be able to still work with you! I will walk, feed, stay with, play with and care for various cats and dog breeds! I also have experience with tropical birds and fish if need be. I will clean up after all animals and leave your home tidy and neat, as well as provide updates at your desired time span i.e (Daily, Hourly, Etc.).

About: I would say that I’m a fairly laid back person who loves all animals and enjoys getting to know them and discovering their different personalities. They’re kind of like excited toddlers in that way. Each having their own unique personalities and needs. I’d love to have pets of my own one day and until then am excited to help others care for their own 🤍✨ I’m currently working as a baker in one of the local hospitals so my mornings are fairly limited. However I available for some early afternoon or late evening love from your pups! I’m also using this as an opportunity to see if I’ll be ready for a pet companion of my own in the near future as I’m still figuring this life and adulthood thing out! I currently live in a townhome with a small back patio; while I do offer boarding services, I’ve found that pets tend to be more at ease in their own homes more often than not.

About: I'm a pet owner practically my whole life. I've been walking dogs since I was a teenager for my neighbors. I have experience with dogs weighing less than a few pounds and dogs weighing more than 100 pounds. And I have to say I love every single one of them! I’ve also grown up my whole life with cats and currently have 2 of my own that are my whole life. I work from home at the moment and can dedicate full time attention to your pets, as well as keeping my cats in a separate room if need be. I look foward to meeting both you and your furry baby. I currently work full time from home! This allows me full access and care to your pets at all time. I rarely leave the house to begin with and usually like to take the dogs if I can! I live in a gated community with a small fenced in patio, but I live in an area with lots of outdoor space and a dog park near by! For my cat parents, my apartment is very quiet and my own personal cats are friendly to other cats but can be put away in another room as needed!

FAQs for House Sitting - Richfield

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of October 2026, there are 913 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 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:

  • 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 95% 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.
