“Cheryl did a great job staying in our home with our 2 dogs and 2 cats. She made sure they were well taken care of and loved while we were gone. Communication was great, we received pics almost everyday!”
“Abby was absolutely amazing! Sent me multiple updates with pictures throughout the night and made us feel very confident with him. She attentive and caring, especially with our little 12 wk old! She left our home in better shape than it was before she came. Could not recommend more!”
“Emma is amazing! I loved that she wanted to meet me and Lacey before she accepted a job. It was important to her that we were all on the same page. I was able to talk about Laceys needs and routine in person, which really made me feel at ease. When the weekend came for her to stay at our house I was completely comfortable leaving Lacey in her care. She gave me updates and pictures which was great. Thank you Emma!!!!”
“Michael had been wonderful and he has helped us out with our two dogs several times. He communicates well and my dogs have been so happy having him stay with them while we are gone. Would recommend him to take care of your pets.”
“Tegra made me feel comfortable with leaving my senior pup. She provided photos and communicated with me when the many times I reached out to check in on Tedi. I came home to a happy pup!”
About: I cared for my cocker spaniel Daisy into her old age, changing her doggie diapers the last few years while she was not in pain. I have a lot of weekend availability, and I can be home by 4 pm weekdays when I work as a substitute teacher. I enjoy being at home and would love to have a furry friend to hang out with when you need help. I have a big yard in a very walkable neighborhood and live near some nice trails. I have an invisible fence with collar that I could use or not, your preference. My home is cozy inside.
“Katelyn did a wonderful job with Camber! He can be a little leery in the beginning and Katelyn did great with him and letting him lead the way. We will definitely be using her again!”
About: I pet it all of my phones and families dogs whether it’s from short visits to letting the dogs outside to go potty or overnight stays. I have been doing this for over two years now, but it’s been a lot more frequent over the past two years. I have always loved dogs. In fact I have two big dogs one purebred German Shepherd and the other dog is a great Pyrenees mix. I am working with Rover now because I’m trying to be able to afford an apartment for myself and just take care of my basic necessities. I know how well I will want my dogs taken care of if I needed a sitter so I try to provide that same care to my clients! I can usually make any time work as best for you. I don’t have a full-time job. It should be my primary job right now. I can do anything you need me to do. Feeding the dogs, letting them out to go potty, taking them to play, taking them on a walk, etc.
About: I’m a caring, patient, and responsible pet lover who understands that pets are part of the family. I know how important it is to make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m happy to follow your pet’s usual routine, provide plenty of attention and playtime, and keep you updated with photos and messages. I’ll treat your pet with the same care and respect I’d want someone to give my own. I maintain a consistent weekly routine and value being dependable and organized. I work full-time during the week, but I plan my time carefully to make sure I can give pets the attention, exercise, and care they need. I’m happy to accommodate morning and evening walks, feeding schedules, playtime, and weekend care based on my availability. I understand that pets thrive on consistency, so I do my best to stick to their normal routines and keep owners updated while they’re away. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are my top priorities. I take the time to understand each pet’s personality, routine, dietary needs, and any special instructions before providing care. I’m attentive, patient, and responsible, and I make sure pets are supervised appropriately and kept in a safe environment. In a client’s home, I respect their space and follow all care instructions carefully. I’m happy to provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is in good hands. I’ll treat your home with respect and care for your pet as if they were my own.
About: From working/volunteering at shelters to pet sitting for friends and family, I have 10+ years of experience caring for furry friends of all ages, personalities, and sizes! Most all of my pet care has been limited to cats and dogs, but I am willing to work with small critters, birds and reptiles with the right care instructions/tutorials. I am not typically squeamish, so I am open to handling clean up and medication - please message me for specifics. As a dog mom myself, I understand that each pet requires different levels of care and attention, and am willing to meet them where they’re at! However, I do not offer training services and might not be the most compatible caretaker for pets that exhibit aggressive behaviors (I am open to discussing). Additionally, I am a full time graduate student, so care in the early morning and evenings will work best for my week day schedule. I will be available some holidays (i.e., Thanksgiving). My availability may also change from time to time, so please be sure to check my profile or message me. Choosing me means your pet will receive quality care, and that all the updates you receive will include cute pics! As a full time student, my weekday availability might mean limited check-ins, but your pet is always the priority! - Monday & Tuesday: 6:00 AM - 7:30 AM; after 5 PM - Wednesday: 6:00 AM - 7:30 AM; after 7 PM - Thursday: 6:00 AM - 7:30 AM; after 5 PM - Friday: 6:00 AM - 8:00 AM; after 3:00 PM - Saturday & Sunday: Flexible! I will need a few hours in the morning and some afternoons to volunteer. For pet sitting, I can provide the following: - Feeding and hydration - Exercise and play - Maintenance and cleaning of pets environment (e.g., litter box, crate, etc.) - Medication administration - Light housekeeping (e.g., bringing mail in, watering plants, taking out trash, etc.) - Text/photo/video updates
“Courtney was amazing! Absolutely wonderful with all of our fluffies and you can tell they Super care about them. Many sitters just do the bare minimum but Courtney spent time with them, took care of medicine, played with them, etc… and did not just watch TV all day sitting like we have had others do. If you want someone who takes care to help your fluffies feel comfortable while you are away, we recommend Courtney.”
About: From week long in-home stays to quick 15 minute walks, I have done it all! I started occasional dog walking in 8th grade and i’ve continued pet care for 9 years. I have experience with high energy and large dogs like Belgian Malinois to lower energy senior dogs that just need companionship. I can truly cater to each dog and what they need. I grew up with dogs and currently have two, a rottweiler and a lab. I currently work two jobs but they are usually pretty spread out time wise. I work in the morning from 7:30 to 2:00pm and two nights a week from 7:00pm to 12:00 am. I have weekends free so plenty of time for visiting! I will not be able to offer any in home care as I have two dogs at home that do not enjoy the company of others.
About: Nice to meet you! My name is Courtney. I created my business because I too struggled to find a reliable dog sitter for my pets. I wanted to provide professional, trustworthy care to my fellow pet owners. People have described me as confident, responsible, and compassionate. I am very passionate about working with pets. I’ve worked with hundreds of dogs, ranging from all dog breeds and sizes. I have been a dog trainer and dog sitter for over 10 years, and I truly have a passion for dogs. Take me to a dog park and I can tell you about every single dogs play style, body language and behavior. What sets my dog sitting and boarding services apart is my understanding of the canine mind and their unique needs for enrichment and reinforcement, crucial for their health and happiness. I have extensive training and real world experience training K9s and companion dogs which requires creativity, patience, and compassion. I also have extensive knowledge of various dog health issues, having cared for blind dogs, deaf dogs, and those with special needs. I firmly believe there are no 'bad' dogs and strive to cater to each client's specific needs. Reactive, nervous, or anxious dogs are always welcome in my care without judgment. Ensuring dogs' safety is my top priority because, like you, my dogs are family, and I treat every pet as such. Trusting somebody with your pets can be nerve wracking, and you can be assured the care, safety, and well being of your family member is taken seriously. “Animals are such agreeable friends - they ask no questions; they pass no criticisms.” George Eliot Important note: I have a three day cancellation fee, so please be sure to let me know if your plans change as soon as possible. Last minute cancelations result in other pet parents unable to use my services, so I cannot wave or adjust for my fee. I appreciate clients understanding! Please note that dogs are not to be taken off property during their stay (Unless veterinary related) is it my main priority that pets are safe and secure in our home and yard. Our yard provides ample space for dogs to run, chase a ball, and play with their buddies. My drop off and pickup times are split between AM and PM. My drop off times range from 8-10AM, and 5-8PM. Times outside of those periods will be charged for a day or half day of daycare. I appreciate owners being as close to a planned time as possible to allot time for myself and other clients. As a full-time dog trainer, I work from home alongside my lead trainer, so there is always someone at home! My commitment to being home means that the dogs receive continuous supervision and attention, enhancing safety and well-being. I enjoy hiking, swimming, and gardening in my small garden. When dogs stay at my home, safety is my top priority. To ensure a secure environment, I implement several measures. 1. Supervised Outside Play: Dogs are only allowed outside under direct supervision. This allows me to monitor their behavior, prevent any potential conflicts, and ensure they stay safe from external hazards. 2. Matching Play Styles: I carefully assess the play styles of each dog and only allow those with similar temperaments to interact. This minimizes the risk of misunderstandings and conflicts, promoting an enjoyable playtime for all dogs. 3. FI Collars. If requested by the pet parent, I use FI collars for safety. These smart collars provide real-time location tracking, ensuring an added layer of security. This technology helps me keep track of each dog’s whereabouts, giving pet parents peace of mind knowing their pets are safe. 4. Fence: Our property is 1/3 acre and includes a 6 foot fence. Dogs are carefully monitored and I implement 50 foot long lines if needed for escape artists.
“Kelley was terrific! We felt completely comfortable leaving her with our senior dog, senior cats, and young dog. She handled everything very well, including administering medications and helping our old dog get up and around. She's very capable, clearly loves animals, and is flexible, professional, and friendly! Definitely looking forward to working more with her!”
About: I want you to have someone reliable while you’re away that you can trust to take great care of your pets. I am willing to work around your needs and those of your pet. Foster mom through Wisconsin Humane Society Society. I am available for dog walking daily, and happy to have your dog stay at my house or yours while you are away. You can feel safe and confident that your pet will be well taken care of. I have an unfenced yard, but your pet will always be leashed while outside when under my care. You can feel safe and confident that your pet will be well taken care of.
“Sam took excellent care of my dogs and home. I was happy to get pics and updates, as well as to come home to a clean house. He even washed the bedsheets ? I recommend Sam for both house and pet sitting!”
About: My family has had cats my whole life so I am very familiar with cat care. Growing up with some shy cats has made me very respectful of animals’ boundaries, so I’m good with timid pets! I love all animals equally so I really will sit for any pet under the sun. I’ve been a dog walker and sitter unofficially for friends and family here and there over the past 5 years, and I’d love to do it more often and see dogs more in my daily life! I’m working part time so I have lots of availability for drop ins, walking, and some overnight sitting. My availability on week days is usually from 8am-10 am or anytime after 3 pm, and my weekends are very open and flexible. I am very attentive to pets’ needs and my approach will be catered to your dog or cat’s personality! For energetic animals I am thrilled to play outside or go on long walks, but for shy, elderly, or low-energy pets I am also happy to just give them some love and chill together. For cats, I generally let them set the pace and approach / interact with me on their terms, since cats are often choosy. I will feed and take your pets out based on your preferences and routines, so just let me know!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 1,129 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:
- 88% 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.
