“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
About: Hi! My name is Hannah and I would love to help take care of your babies! Former Disney CM and local to the Orlando area. I have experience with house sitting 3 dogs for almost 2 weeks, 2 dogs for a week, and dropping in for a quick visit here and there. My family and friends always ask me to watch their pets! Flexible with scheduling as long as we work together. I will be able to house sit, drop ins, and open to other things! Just reach out if you have any questions! I look forward to hearing from you soon. I’m a stay at home pet mom looking to share my love! I am flexible with scheduling and I’m open to working with what fits your pets needs the best. I want what’s best for your pet, your home, and myself. I will always do everything I can to keep your pets safe including keeping them from eating things on the ground during walks and watching closely no matter where your pet and I are.
“Thank you Ashlyn for taking such great care of our almost eleven year old Shi Tzu, Coco. She was so happy and didn’t even show any signs of missing us! The daily updates and pictures helped reassure us when we were away and made our trip more enjoyable. Our house was well cared for too. Thank you and we look forward to your next scheduled visit. Mitch and Karen”
About: I’ve been around animals my entire life. Dogs, cats, birds, bunnies, guinea pigs, even domesticated raccoons. I’ve dog sat more times than I can count. My dream as a child was to move to Australia and work with Steve Irwin at the Australia Zoo. Always been a lover of animals and consider your fur babies on the same level as your sons and daughters. I will make sure they are in good hands with me always. I’m currently between jobs and only working 10-15 hours per week. It’s a rotating schedule but when I’m not working I’m free from 9 AM-1 AM but am happy to make an exception if need be. I live in an apartment with a fenced in dog park, a beautiful set of land for walking your pet, and when I am watching your pet I am clocked in and locked in and am as present with them as I would be babysitting a toddler. Minimal distractions, only focus on your baby. (Also very selfishly, want to be their favorite sitter!)
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.
About: I’ve grown up around dogs, cats, reptiles you name it. I am an animal lover through and through! I am very experienced in behavioral therapy so training puppies or just training in general is a breeze! I am very comfortable with reactive dogs and sensitive kitties as well. Working through triggers and building positive associations through reinforcement is my passion. My schedule is very flexible, I have plenty of time to ensure pets are properly taken care of and most of all happy! I work at an exotic animal vet and assist with caring for a multitude of animals in various health stages. I am happy to follow any instructions given and my biggest concern is that the pets under my care are not only safe, but happy and well cared for in all aspects.
“She did an amazing job watching over our two cats and house sitting for us while we were gone for the weekend. She sent photos and kept up updated & the house is in great shape. Thanks so much! Looking forward to rebooking soon.”
“Ivette has been an absolute blessing! Roxy (my dog) loves her and even does a happy dance when she arrives. Ivette is prompt, reliable, trustworthy and best of all will send updates/photos/ videos when I’m away. I know my pup is in great hands with her. I don’t know what we would do without her!”
About: I've loved animal friends from a very young age. I can't remember a time that I didn't have one at home. I've had dogs, cats, rabbits, birds, lizards and sugar gliders. I love meeting new fur friends. I have experience sitting for friends and family and I also have two happy, friendly pups. I want to dedicate my time to your pet and your satisfaction. I can easily adjust my schedule when necessary and can accommodate even for very late or very early times. I can pet sit, go on walks and provide plenty of care, attention and play time for your pet. I can easily accommodate multiple pets, very large dogs, puppies and pets with minimum or no training.
“This was my first time using Rover. Maddyn was great with my pets. She was easy to communicate with. She sent pictures and updates. She asked questions when needed. She brushed Bear and Dakota, shook out their beds. She swept and bought the mail in everyday. She let me know I received a package that had to be refrigerated and she put it in the fridge for me before I even had a chance to let her know about it. I will use Maddyn again!”
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.

“I can't say enough great things about Kyle as a sitter! From the moment I met him, I could tell he has a genuine love for animals. He really took the time to get to know my cat Ryuu and I felt completely confident leaving her in his care. During my time away, Kyle sent tons of photos and videos, which really put my mind at ease and showed me how good of a time my Ryuu was having with him and Jax. He even went above and beyond when it came to being accommodating about changes to travel plans and extending Ryuu’s stay. I highly recommend Kyle to anyone looking for a responsible, caring, and reliable pet sitter. He truly loves what he does, and it shows in every interaction. 5 stars all the way (If i could give him 6 stars I would 😂)”

I cannot say enough great things about the care and attention that Alycia provided to my boys while I was out of town. This was my first time trusting a stranger with my dogs. They absolutely loved her and it was so comforting for me to be able to receive text messages and pictures. Knowing my dogs were well taken care of made it so much easier for me to focus on my trip.
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.

The average cost of House Sitting in Richland is $22 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $22 and $22 per night.

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.
<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 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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
