“Larrielle was absolutely wonderful with Reggie and Kona! Our boys have their quirks — Reggie with his independence and his medicine routine, Kona with his big personality in a little body — and she handled everything without skipping a beat. Multiple days of overnight stays - she is definitely 5 STARS!!! We came home to two happy, well-loved dogs and a house just as we left it -- if not cleaner. We felt completely at ease the whole trip knowing they were in such good hands with constant photo updates. We'd have her back in a heartbeat!”
“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!”
About: i have many years of experience caring for animals from guinea pigs all the way to a Great Dane. I have been a veterinary assistant as well as a kennel technician and worked at the local pet store I have open availability currently as I only work on the weekends. I have my own pets that I care for as well as other clients through word of mouth/rover. My pets at my home are very well taken care of with a fenced yard. I would prefer to watch/care for your fur babies at your home as my outside dogs are not always friendly to new comers
“I was so worried about leaving my dog and cat but, I worried for nothing. Brian was an excellent dog sitter. My babies were happy when I got home but they seemed very happy with Brian,also. I would love to have him again in December, when I am going on a family and friends cruise, I could relax and KNOW my babies are well taken care of.”
About: Hey there friend! My name is Carenna & I am 26 years old. I have been pet sitting since I was 14 years old. I am familiar with all breeds, ages, and sizes of dogs and cats. I am trained in both CPR and first aid for both people and animals. In my working career, I work with animals on a daily basis and I am very familiar with different behaviors. Your furbabies will be in good and loving hands! I have a flexible work schedule and I am available multiple days/hours each week with weekends currently open. I do not currently have any obligations, and this makes me available to tend to any needs that your furbabies may have. When attending to your fur babies, I love to include them as much as possible so they never feel alone. They will have my full attention. I am certified and trained in both CPR/first aid for both people and animals.
“Morgan was fantastic! I had an unexpected cone on my big baby. She was wonderful with him and his special needs. She stayed at my house and is totally trustworthy! Will hire her again 🐈🤓👍😻”
“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!”
“Neida took wonderful care of Lucy! She was kind, reliable, and kept me updated throughout the stay, which gave me great peace of mind. It was clear that Lucy was well cared for and received lots of attention and affection. I truly appreciated Neida’s professionalism, communication, and the love she showed my pup. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter. Thank you, Neida! 🐾💕”
“Ashlyn is the BEST!!! She is so compassionate, treats our pets like her own and goes above and beyond to take care of them while we are gone. 10/10 recommend Ashlyn to anyone that considers their pets family. We finally get to go on vacations now that we have the dogsitter of our dreams!”
About: I've owned animals my whole life, both cats and dogs. I love them like my own children. I have some experience with giving medication to dogs I'm typically available all day. I do not work from home due to carpeting and my pets but taking care of them in your space for hours or a few days is absolutely fine, I am flexible and can work with any schedule. I will not be doing home stays at my house due to my pets and respecting my roommates space. I always keep the space I am sitting in clean and free of non pet friendly items. Safety and comfort for furry friends is the most important.
“Vonna took care of my Minnie with love and lots of attention! She kept me updated daily on how things were going and sent photos every day of my baby 🥰 I will definitely use her again.”
“Amanda was amazing with our Riley! She kept us up to date with photos and videos throughout the weekend and was so communicative. I think Riley was disappointed we came home so soon. Will absolutely use her again!!”
About: I’ve loved and cared for dogs my whole life. I helped my childhood dog deliver all 9 of her puppies, cared for them, and helped find each of them a loving home. I’ve also dog sat a variety of breeds and ages, including senior dogs who need a little extra patience and care. I’ve had Journey, my own dog, for 8 years, so I’m very comfortable with the everyday responsibility, attention, and love dogs need. I genuinely enjoy getting to know each dog’s personality and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while they’re in my care. I’m a stay-at-home mom to a toddler, so I have a flexible schedule and am home often. I’m able to work walks, drop-ins, and pet sitting into my routine while giving each pet plenty of attention, playtime, and care. I’m happy to do my very best to work with different schedules and routines to make sure your pet gets the care and attention they need. I take pet safety seriously and treat every dog like they’re part of the family. I follow their normal routine and their owner’s instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, medications if needed, and any specific behaviors or boundaries to be aware of. I make sure doors, gates, and fences are secure, keep dogs supervised, and don’t leave them with anything they shouldn’t have access to. I also keep a clean, comfortable environment and give pets plenty of attention and exercise appropriate for their age and energy level. Whether your dog is staying with me in my home or I’m caring for them during drop-ins at your home, my goal is for them to be safe, happy, and genuinely 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.
About: I’m reliable, communicative, and will keep you updated with photos and messages, giving you peace of mind throughout your trip. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply relaxing, I’ll make sure they get the attention they deserve. I’m also patient with puppies who are still learning routines and gentle with senior dogs who may need extra care, slower walks, or medication reminders. My goal is for both you and your dog to have a stress-free, positive experience from start to finish. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I enjoy staying active and spending time with dogs. I plan my schedule to ensure every pet gets plenty of attention, regular walks, playtime, feeding, and bathroom breaks on time. I don’t believe in just stopping by—I make sure each dog feels comfortable, cared for, and gets quality interaction. I closely supervise pets during walks and playtime, make sure they always have fresh water, and keep doors, gates, and leashes secure to prevent accidents or escapes. I’ll also keep you updated with regular photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. My goal is to make your pet feel loved and cared for, while making the experience as worry-free as possible for you.
“Camila was phenomenal! She meticulously followed our puppy’s schedule, took him on several walks and to the dog park, and kept him happy and active all day. She kept me informed with tons of videos and pictures, which I truly appreciated. At the end of the visit, she filled out a progress report and shared key information about Ares. We have absolutely no complaints and are so grateful for the level of care and attention she provided. I would 100% recommend her to anyone looking for reliable and loving dog care. 🩵”
About: I have had a dog since I was 13, who lived to be 17. She went everywhere with me. I got a yellow lab a few years back for my older dog to have a sister and then our family grew. We have 5 dogs and 3 cats. We love animals and have 2 big dogs, 2 medium, plus 1 tiny with a lot of puppy energy. Everyone is super friendly and we go to the dog park as often as we can. Sit with us and my husband and I will take great care of your pets like they are one of our own! During work days I am home so every 4 hours I let everyone out at a minimum and will make my way to you in order to make sure the pets are well cared for! Pet care is our lives, they are like our kids and when we aren’t working we are spending time with our furry family! Every pet we care for is part of our family when they are under our care! When pets are with us, we try and make sure they are comfortable and are doing the same things the way they would when you are home. I try and make sure to know what they are allowed to do and not allowed to do and how their owner enforces those guidelines. We try and make sure that everything is as it would be regularly!
“Adaline was amazing! She took such wonderful care of my pups and turtle while I was gone for nearly three weeks. She was very communicative and I could tell she took great care of them. They are happy and healthy! She sends pictures and videos daily, which I love, and she took great care of the house. I will definitely use her services again!!”

Arianna was great! She did a great job with the dogs. Her communication was great and gave me lots of updates on the dogs which I loved! It is hard to trust someone with your fur babies when you go away but she made my worries go away! Thank you again for everything!
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 September 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 September 2026, there are 2,403 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.
