“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!”
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
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.
“Kendal was an absolute dream. She was incredibly attentive to our fur babies, very communicative, and eased my anxiety of leaving one of our older cats who I haven’t left since she started her medication. All four of our animals have different personalities, schedules, and quirks, and she went out of her way to ensure they all didn’t miss a beat in our absence. I will definitely be rebooking with Kendal every time we’re in need of pet care.”
“Lakisha was amazing and I highly recommend her to anyone with dog sitting needs! Our usual dog sitter had a family emergency come up last minute right before Christmas and we desperately needed someone. Luckily, Lakisha saved the day and stayed with our 80 pound baby for 4 days. She sent regular updates and pictures, took great care of our pup and house and even washed her own bedding and towels! Definitely a trustworthy and reliable sitter!!”

“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! 🐾💕”

“This was the first time we ha Elizabeth watch our pup. Although it was only an overnight stay, our pup seems happy, all directions were followed, and she left the house with everything neat and clean. I would definitely give her a 👍thumbs up!”
“This was the first time we used Rover and we are very pleased. Erin was fantastic. She was very responsible, and communicative and responded to our texts very quickly. She loves animals and immediately took to our dachshunds and they really liked her as well. The pups were great when we arrived home and our house looked like we never left. I would definitely use Erin again if need be and highly recommend her.”
“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!”

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 full-time 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 and their furry friends as needed. I prioritize cozy cuddles and am paws up for playtime! My k-9 friends and I are known to have a ball outdoors while my kitty friends often enjoy when we paws and relax.
About: With years of experience as a former veterinary technician, I specialize in caring for dogs and cats, including puppies and kittens, as well as senior pets. Now, I run a family-owned pet sitting business, providing expert care across multiple breeds. The daily or weekly routine includes feeding and watering, walks and playtime, and administering medication if necessary, while also handling other duties like cleaning the litter box and providing general companionship. The goal is to maintain consistency for the pet's health and reduce stress. I prioritize establishing and maintaining the pet's routine, which includes feeding, exercise, and medication schedules. I ensure the pet's safety by understanding their behaviors, securing the home to prevent escapes, and having all necessary supplies ready. Throughout the stay, I provide plenty of affection and engagement while communicating regularly with the client.
About: I’ve grown up with dogs, cats, rabbits and more since I was a baby. I have raised my 11 year old cat since she was a week old, and my 6 year old dog since he was 6 months. I know how to take care of very young up to senior animals and I can help support training. I work the week M-F, so I am able to take on the weekends (F-M) so you can take your much needed vacation or detox! I have a very flexible schedule where I am able to take off for longer pet care situations. I am very organized: I use planners, reminders, alarms and more to keep myself up to date and on time. I run on a good schedule and efficient work, and it only gets better when I’m working to take care of an animal. I can help support training, young and older animals and more.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Richland
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.
