“Cheryl did a wonderful job with our 4 animals (2 dogs,2 cats) while we were out of state for several days. Cheryl always has great communication, responds promptly and is always willing to do what she can to help. We plan to continue having Cheryl care for our pack whenever we travel.”
“Paul did an awesome job taking care of our elderly dog. It was difficult to leave her with a new dog sitter (our usual sitter got a new job) but after meeting Paul and seeing that Rheyah was immediately comfortable with him, we felt confident that he would take good care of her. Paul made sure that Rheyah took her medicine multiple times per day, fed her a special diet and even gave her a partial bath every other night to treat her chronic skin condition. He also took her for 2 walks per day when the weather permitted. Paul’s frequent photos and descriptions of what he and Rheyah were doing helped to calm my anxiety about leaving her with someone new. Not only did Paul take care of Rheyah, but he also fed my fish and managed to keep my not-so-healthy plants alive! We are very grateful that Paul’s profile came up on Rover and that he agreed to take care of Rheyah so that we could attend our granddaughter’s 1st birthday. We highly recommend Paul to anyone who needs a conscientious caring pet sitter!”
“We hired Cynthia to house sit for our dog, cat, and chickens for over a week. She did a great job! She spent a ton of time at the house, sent consistent updates, and took great care of our babies. We had our outgoing flight delayed by over a day, and Cynthia was flexible and understanding.”
“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!”
“Evita was absolutely amazing with both of our dogs. She took great care of them and even pivoted during unforeseen circumstances to ensure our dogs stayed loved on and safe while we were gone. We will definitely use her again in the future!”
“Faith jumped in last minute with an overnight housesit for Argus and Annie. She came over to meet them a couple days prior and they took to her seamlessly. She is reliable, experienced and follows instructions well. She asked appropriate questions and and made the pup and us very comfortable. The pups were happy and obviously well cared for when we returned. We also enjoyed the pictures too!”
“Our baby Wrangler absolutely adores Emma & she truly is the best! We could not ask for a more accommodating sitter for our boy and will be booking her again & again :) Thank you Emma! 🐾🤍”
“My pup, Buddy, just instantly fell in love with Allison. Allison did an amazing job sending photos, walking him, playing with him, and watching over him while we were at wedding events all weekend. She was communicative, loving, prompt, and flexible. I will use her again!”
“Sara recently stayed the night with my two dogs. My night away was made more relaxing, knowing that they were in great hands. Sara is conscientious, great with dogs, and a wonderful person.”
“Haylie was really pleasant with our two dogs while we were away. As this was our first experience together Haylie communicated well, handled a special request and, the dogs connected with her as well. Definitely planning on rebooking with her.”
“Ellen did a great job watching our dogs for 5 nights, one of which has sever separation anxiety. She sent daily updates and pictures, which really helped us enjoy our vacation knowing the dogs were happy. She also took great care of the house. She went above and beyond keeping the house picked up and sheets washed. Would highly recommend Ellen to anyone looking for a pet sitter.”
“Fatima was amazing to work with. I booked her on short notice before the holiday when my original plans fell through. She offered and made it a priority to come do a meet & greet on days notice. I’m always a little nervous when using a new sitter especially when they stay at mine, but my mind was at ease immediately when I met her. I could tell she has a big heart and really cares for animals. She followed all instructions and she went above and beyond spending time with Diesel doing his favorite activities (walks, playing fetch, swimming, etc.). She was incredibly communicative and sent a lot of pictures and videos which was much appreciated. As a former Rover sitter and a frequent user of Rover’s services, I can confidently say that Fatima is one of the best sitters I’ve come across. I will definitely be using her in the future and have already recommended her to others looking for sitters. Thank you Fatima!!!”
About: My name is Jacalyn, and I am a dedicated pet caregiver/house sitter in the West Bend area. When I’m not spending time with animals, I am a freelance artist working on long-term creative projects. Because my artwork is completely mobile, it makes me the perfect companion for your pets! I provide a consistent, calm presence in your home, ensuring your animals are never lonely, stressed, or left unattended for long periods. Specialized Experience & Skills: Unlike standard dog walkers, I have a deep, lifetime background in diverse animal care. You can completely trust me with your entire household ecosystem. Dogs: I grew up with a toy poodle in our home, caring for him when my parents went away. I would also house sit for our neighbor with medium-large dogs as a young adult. I have more recently house sat overnight for friends and my previous boss with two large dogs, providing structured feeding, walks, and plenty of play time. Small Pets: I formerly worked at a pet store where I was responsible for the daily care, feeding, and habitat maintenance of cats, dogs, birds, fish, rabbits and rodents. I also cared for my own pet mice, rats and rabbits over the years. I adore all animals, big and small. Animal Shelter Volunteer Roots: My love for animals started early—I volunteered at our local animal shelter with dogs and cats as a kid, learning how to handle different temperaments, walk the dogs, and keep environments clean and safe. If you have an animal friend that needs care while you're away, dog walking or a permanent home/vacation home that needs house sitting and check ups, don't hesitate to send me a message. I aim to provide the best care for your fur baby tailored around your work day, weekend plans, holiday travel, or seasonal vacations. My radius includes within 15 miles of West Bend. I am available for all of the services listed Tuesday-Sunday. My week is open for your nanny needs. Whether you are a local heading out on a vacation, long work days, or a tourist renting a cabin and looking to explore the local landscape, I am here to help. Why Choose Me? Because I balance my pet care with my art projects, your pets get the absolute best of both worlds: structured, energetic outdoor time combined with hours of quiet, indoor companionship while I work. I am detail-oriented, highly respectful of your property, and communicative with plenty of photo updates. Not only will i take care of your family member, but make sure everything is spotless when you return. I look forward to meeting you and your unique pets! Please feel free to reach out with your upcoming dates.
“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!”
“Rayanna was such a great dog sitter to Mabel, our sweet but a little anxious goldendoodle. This is the first time we have had an in home sitter for a week and Rayanna was great. Mabel was well taken care of and Rayanna was easy and fast to communicate with while we were away. I personally was so nervous to leave Mabel for a week, but I had no worries while we were away. Rayanna was great! We will definitely use her again”
“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.”

Lexy was absolutely wonderful! She went above and beyond while caring for my dogs, not only meeting their needs but spending extra time giving them love and attention. It’s clear she genuinely cares about the animals she looks after, and that gave me so much peace of mind. I came home to happy, well-cared-for pups, and I couldn’t ask for more. I would highly recommend Lexy to anyone looking for a reliable, compassionate sitter!
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.

FAQs for House Sitting - Richfield
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 1,162 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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.
