About: I grew up with dogs, including boxers, labs and pit bulls. My family and I are huge animal lovers and are ready to spoil your loved one while you are away! They will be treated like family while visiting with us. As long as it is ok'd by the owner, the dog will have free range of my house. I allow them on the furniture, beds, etc. They will have a fenced in yard to run around in and will be taken on as many walks a day that you would like. I stay at home full time, so I can pop in any time to spend time with and walk your baby/babies. I have children, but they will not be present during the visits, meaning your animal will get all my love and attention!! :)
“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! 🐾💕”
“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!”
“Morgann was a life saver, helping me out with less than 48 hours notice when someone else had to cancel. The dogs loved her and I came back to a house that looked exactly as I left it. She even brought my trash can back up to the house off the street. She really went above and beyond in a pinch!”
“Kali was wonderful with Ares! She arrived on time, took him on several walks and to the dog park, and made sure he ate and stayed active with a couple naps in between. She sent multiple updates throughout the day, keeping me informed the whole time. Overall, a great experience and we truly appreciate her care! 🩵”
“We recently had the pleasure of hiring Angie as a dog sitter, and I couldn't be more impressed with her service. From the moment we first communicated, Angie was professional, responsive, and genuinely interested in understanding my dog's specific needs and routine. During the time she cared for my dog, Angie's attention to detail and dedication were evident. She provided regular updates, including photos and detailed messages about how my dog was doing, which gave me great peace of mind while I was away. Her communication was clear and consistent, ensuring I was always informed. Angie's professionalism shone through in every aspect of her service. She was punctual, well-prepared, and showed a deep understanding of animal care. My dog, who can be quite shy, quickly warmed up to her, a testament to Angie's gentle and patient nature. Overall, Angie exceeded my expectations in every way. Her exceptional care, outstanding communication, and professional demeanor make her an excellent choice for anyone in need of a reliable and caring dog sitter. I highly recommend her services and will definitely be booking her again in the future.”

About: Hi! I'm a lifelong animal lover with years of hands-on experience caring for pets of all kinds. Ever since I was a kid, animals have been a big part of my life. My grandfather owned a farm, where I helped care for dogs, cats, horses, chickens, goats, and many other animals. Those experiences taught me patience, responsibility, and how to understand the unique needs of each animal. I believe every pet deserves to feel safe, loved, and comfortable while their family is away. Whether your dog loves long walks, playing fetch, exploring outside, or simply relaxing with companionship, I'll make sure they receive personalized care and plenty of attention. I'm dependable, responsible, and committed to keeping pet parents informed. You can expect regular updates, photos, and clear communication so you'll always know how your furry family member is doing. I treat every pet as if they were my own, with kindness, patience, and respect. My goal is to earn your trust by providing a safe, fun, and loving experience for your pet while giving you complete peace of mind. I look forward to meeting you and your best friend! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, and I make it a priority to provide reliable, consistent care. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate quality time to walks, feeding, playtime, and companionship. I plan my day around each pet's needs and routine, ensuring they receive the attention, exercise, and care they deserve. Whether it's a quick drop-in, daily walks, or overnight care, I'm committed to being dependable and making sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved. Your pet's safety and well-being are always my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet's routine, personality, and any special instructions so they receive the best possible care. Whether I'm caring for your pet in my home or yours, I'll maintain a clean, calm, and safe environment while following your feeding schedule, exercise routine, and any medication or care instructions. I always make sure pets have fresh water, plenty of attention, and a secure environment. During walks, I use safe handling practices and stay alert to my surroundings. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident and connected while you're away. My goal is to treat every pet with the same love, patience, and respect I'd give my own.
About: I’ve grown up around dogs and have always been the go-to sitter for friends and family. I also volunteer with Furry Friends Pet Rescue, where I’m approved to walk and care for dogs of all sizes and temperaments. In addition, I’ve volunteered at the Humane Society, gaining hands-on experience with dogs that require extra patience and care. Whether it’s playing, feeding, walking, or just keeping dogs company while their people are away, I bring experience, empathy, and genuine love to every pup I meet. I’m a student at USF with a flexible schedule and plenty of time to care for pets. I’m available most afternoons after class and all day on weekends for walks or drop-ins. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I genuinely love spending time with animals. I provide care in your home where your dog feels most comfortable. Whether it’s walks, feedings, or playtime, I make sure your dog feels safe and loved while you’re away. I always follow care instructions carefully and treat every home with the respect and professionalism it deserves.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats for about 10 years. I have animals of my own and family and friends can rely on me to help watch their animals. I’m off every Monday-Wednesdays so it’s convenient to watch animals during the weekdays. However I do have a roomate that could help out as well. I live in a large neighborhood, perfect for walks or runs. I also have space for animals to play inside and I live close to a few trails I can take the dog(s) there as well.

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 of House Sitting in Richland is $22 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $22 and $22 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

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 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.

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.
