“Alycia is AMAZING with our Georgia girl 🐶! She is one of the few I can trust with our fur baby. Alycia is reliable, caring, and keeps me updated with photos and messages while I am away. Georgia loves her dates with Alycia! She is happy, comfortable, and clearly well cared for the entire time. It gives me so much peace of mind knowing Georgia is in such good hands. I would absolutely recommend Alycia to anyone looking for a trustworthy and attentive pet sitter!”
“Arianna is the best! We had to travel north for a long weekend and Arianna cared for our Rico and Bella. She provided regularly updates and she allowed us to be away without worry. She is a trusted resource that we rely on with confidence. And Rico and Bella think she is the best!”
“First time using my sitter and I was extremely happy how Larrielle took care of my fur babies. I would recommend her as a sitter to anyone that wants their babies well taken care. She sent me messages and photos various times during the day. I will definitely use her as my sitter for now on.”
“Eden was a great sitter for our long weekend away! Even on a slightly short notice, we felt comfortable leaving our girl in her hands & knew she would be well taken care of. Sad that she was only here for her college break, but would happily use her again if it ever aligned again in the future!”
About: I have 5 years experience in the animal field professionally. I have learned animal behavior and signs, I have learned patience and understanding, how to build a bond, and so much more. I am currently working 4 days a week. I have three days a week I can fit your pet care needs into schedule. I can also possibly schedule times around my job the other 4 days as I work a swing shift. I have two separate fences on my property and a secured dog room that leads to the year fencing area with AC, dog bed, access in and out, fan, access to water at all times inside with an automatic water bowl outside. I have a friendly, Neutered male Golden Retriever to keep them company if preferred, or there is plenty of space to keep them separate. None smoking and no small children. For your home visits, I would respect your space and rules as well as accommodate all your needs and request a n your home.
“I can’t recommend Tyler enough! He took such wonderful care of my pups while I was away. From the moment we met, I felt completely at ease knowing my pets were in caring and capable hands. He went above and beyond—sending daily updates, photos, and making sure all of my pets' routines were followed to the letter. When I came home, my pets were happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. It’s such a relief to have someone I can trust 100% with my furry family members. If you’re looking for a reliable, kind, and attentive pet sitter, look no further than Tyler! Thank you again for everything—you’re a lifesaver!”
“Emma took great care of Archie while we were away for a long weekend. Her communication and energy were great. I got daily photos of my boy doing what he does best. Emma accommodated me for a last minute booking, which was much appreciated! Thanks Emma!”
“Asja was absolutely incredible taking care of our two cats, Diesel and Nyx, and our English bulldog, Harley, while we were away in Europe. During her stay, Harley developed anxiety that caused her to get sick, but Asja’s attentiveness saved the day. She noticed right away that Harley was not feeling well, kept us fully informed with clear communication despite the distance, and handled taking her to the vet seamlessly. She stuck directly to the vet treatment plan and managed giving Harley her new medications without any issue. On top of managing Harley’s health, Asja went completely above and beyond when Harley had a few carpet accidents. She brought her own carpet cleaner and cleaned everything up so thoroughly that when we walked through the door, the house was spotless. It literally looked like no one had even been there. Being all the way in Europe could have been stressful, but we had zero stress about our animals because of how wonderful Asja was. If you need a sitter who is observant, reliable, communicative, and will care for your pets like her own, book Asja. We could not have asked for better care and will definitely be booking her again!”
About: I am going to school to study veterinary medicine and I work at an animal hospital and I’ve been around animals and all the different situations they have. When I wake up I feed my dogs and let them out before I leave for work or school and spend time with them outside when I get home. I care for pets by following their normal routine as closely as possible to keep them comfortable and stress-free. In my home or a client’s home, I make sure pets have fresh food and water, regular potty breaks or walks, playtime, and plenty of attention and affection. I follow all feeding instructions, medication schedules, and any special care needs provided by the owner. I also keep the environment clean and safe, monitor pets for any changes in behavior or health, and provide updates to owners so they feel confident their pets are well cared for

About: I have taking care of my own pets, friends and family for 5 years. I have experienced with puppies and their high energy levels to seniors who just want to chill and relax. Also, I have experienced with pets with anxiety, dogs and cats who just have surgery and are in need of recovery. I can administer their medications, give them their food,water and treats. I can chill on the couch, play, run, go in walks and give them full attention. I love every dog and cat and I treat them with the love and respect they deserve and as if they are were my own. I also feed my dog raw food so I am very comfortable with measuring and handling raw food. My schedule is flexible since I work part time from home and I have full control of my schedule so I can fit in your furry babies needs I have a fenced in yard so my dogs can freely roam around and use the bathroom. I also have two crates with beds and blankets to keep them nice and comfortable. I have a feeding schedule, I give a treat in the morning, some little healthy snacks in the afternoon and I serve dinner at 6pm. I take my dogs out to potty and we go on a walk in the afternoon or we do some running around in the yard or in the back. I try to keep the dogs calm and happy as much as I can.

“Ashley is truly amazing with Ares! She not only arrives on time, but immediately jumps into caring for him — taking him on multiple walks, heading to the dog park first in the morning, play time, and keeps up with his scheduled routine. She also sends me multiple videos and photos throughout the day with important updates. We absolutely love having her watch our puppy!🩵”
“Katelyn has been great with Ares, especially as she’s still getting to know him. She does a wonderful job keeping me informed on his behavior and is very communicative while navigating the challenges that come with the puppy stage. I truly appreciate her effort, patience, and willingness to work with him. Thank you for everything, Katelyn! 🩵”
“David was an excellent dog sitter for our two dogs. When he sent photos they looked so relaxed which is such a plus when you are leaving your dogs with someone. Thank you again for taking care of them!”
About: I have experience as a veterinary technician for 3+ years. I have medical skills as well as knowledge with senior pet care. I am comfortable with young fur babies as well or ones with medical needs. I am also trained with anxious/nervous fur babies of all breeds and sizes. Rover is my career. I have recently moved to Lakeland and am excited to meet all the fur babies in the community! I am available openly for my clients as needed. I do not have a fenced in yard, but I have a nice yard/neighborhood for long strolls! We make sure to value snuggle and playtime so they do not miss their parents too much while away.

Sarah was amazing. This was my first time leaving my dogs with a pet sitter and I was apprehensive. I had no reason to worry. Both dogs were very comfortable with her and I have one dog who has anxiety, and even he was at ease with Sarah. I received updates on a daily basis and Sarah was very communicative with letting me know how they were doing. And, my house was cleaner than when I left. Kiddos to Sarah. Will use her again.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Richland on Rover is $22.2 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 2,367 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Richland. 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 Richland 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 Richland 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 Richland 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.

- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 99% 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.
