“Katina house sat/dog sat for us. She kept great care of our two dogs!! We cannot thank her enough. One of our dogs was sick right before we had to leave and had special care instructions for him while Katina was there. She was very kind and didn't mind following the instructions and took really good care of him. We are so thankful for that! She sent pictures every day and left a sweet note and treats for the dogs when we got back into town. Again, cannot thank her enough - she gave us peace of mind!”
About: I have grown up with animals my whole life—from horses to guinea pigs and every animal in between—and I truly love them all. I know how special they are and how much they mean to us, and I would be honored to help give your sweet animals some of my love! I am all for the cuddles and the playful walks, and because I know it takes a lot of trust to share your pets, I promise to treat them as if they were my very own! While I work a day job that keeps me busy through the morning and early afternoon, I am fully open and dedicated to supporting your pets after 4:00 PM on weekdays, and completely available all day long on the weekends! Whether it's an afternoon walk, evening feeding, overnight care, or weekend fun, I'll make sure your furry family members get all the love, cuddles, and attention they need around my schedule. When caring for pets in your home, my priority is keeping them comfortable, safe, and happy in their own familiar environment. Whether I'm dropping by for a visit, taking them on a fun walk, or house sitting, I make sure their routine stays completely on track. From on-time feeding and plenty of potty breaks to lots of playtime and evening cuddles, I treat your pets and your home with the utmost respect and care—treating them just like my own family.
“Enjoyed meeting Jillian for our meet and greet. She has a good chemistry with our dogs. We have two "Bullys" and a geriatric Brittany. She did well with them all. Our bullies can be rough players at times, but Jillian didn't shy away from this. They love cuddles but need a confident handler. She seems to do well with both roles. We were comfortable with our first experience and have already booked her again. We liked the secure feeling of having a trustworthy person watching our 4 legged kids. Would recommend her.”
“Kierra did a wonderful job taking care of Chester while we were gone for 10 days. She picked up our mail and we came back to a spotless home. We have used Kierra and Breven several times and they always give us a feeling of relief knowing that our cat (Chester) is being well cared for as well as our home.”
“Sarah is an AWESOME listener! I talked for an hour straight to tell her every detail about how to care for our three dogs. And how to properly close our tight fitting doors And other minutia. She left her house in perfect condition. The dogs hardly seem to notice I was gone. Which never happens. Good on ya Sarah!”
About: Hi my name is Kaley. I am an artist and novice gardener. I provide pet sitting services in your own home, dog walks and check-ins. As well as outdoor exercise, lots of loving attention, feeding, and administering oral medication. I will also pick up and drop off pets. I have years of experience caring for dogs and cats through house sitting and ownership. I have fur babies of my own and I love animals of all sizes and ages. I look forward to hearing from you about your pets needs and meeting all your precious fur babies! I currently have a lot of flexibility in my schedule, so can accommodate most needs and I will have plenty of time to play with your pets! I have a fenced yard and two very friendly dogs, but I prefer to watch and play with your pets in your home where they are most comfortable!
“Cera has been amazing! I feel comfortable when I am away with Cera being at our home and with our pup. She updates me with pictures and is very time conscious if I reach out when I am away. I would definitely recommend and will request her times in the future!”
About: As you read through my current 5 star reviews they are all from years ago when I was a homeowner in Washington State. My son and I now live here and still want to spend time caring for animals. Currently we have one pet of our own, Bob, who is a cat. We love caring for many animals, but our busy schedule makes it impossible to be dog owners at this time. Caring for others pets they love is fulfilling, fun, and great for my son to experience as he loves animals very much. I have both owned, rescued, and cared for pets and animals of all kinds my entire life. I'm comfortable caring for pets of all ages and with administering medication when needed, as well. Very well as I only open my schedule during times that work for me. I am mindful of others pets as if they were my own. I am not currently offering in home services (at my home). I can come to your home and watch your pet babies. How I do that is dictated by the owner. Your pet being comfortable in their own home while you're away means consistency in what they are used to.
“Lydia did a really great job watching my dogs! They aren’t easy since one is in his senior years and the other is much younger. She got my old boy his meds and got him fed which isn’t always easy. She walked my dogs daily which I really appreciate! Plenty of pics to check in and she asked questions because I always leave out some detail here or there lol.”
About: I’ve taken care of pets of all kinds my whole life. For the past seven years, I’ve worked in the veterinary medicine field. Your pets will be in great hands with me! Dogs, cats, chickens, horses, reptiles… You name it! I’ll provide the best possible care for your pets! Making sure your pets are properly cared for is very important to me. Despite being a full-time employee, I will always make time for pet care. I am an animal lover! I will follow care instructions to a tee, ensure the pet’s safety at all times, and give the pet lots of love and attention. When owners go away, pets can get stressed or nervous. I’ll do everything in my power to ensure their comfort during your time away!
About: I have two dogs of my own that I have trained and so I have a lot of experience with dogs of all ages and love playing and hanging out with them. I just graduated from college so I am trying to make some extra money this summer before my corporate job starts in August. I am willing to work with anyone to have your dog be the absolute happiest they could possible be. I am very intuned into what they need and can provide updates however often you would like to make sure everything is fine and you can keep your piece of mind.
“Kristen petsit my two cats at my home over four nights. As always, she was kind, attentive, and communicative. My shy and timid cat even got comfortable with her after less than a day, which soothed my concerns about being away. Kristen will be pet sitting my cats again soon, and I won’t hesitate to work with her after that in the future if our schedules line up. ☺️”
“Nadia went above and beyond. She took our pup paddle boarding & on a hike. I think our dog has a new best friend! Nadia left our apartment sparkling clean. I highly recommend booking with her!”
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life, my dogs are my babies and I would treat yours the same. Fully fenced in yard to play fetch in and run around I’m currently a stay at home dog dad so they will never be left alone, always ready to take outside and let play with toys. I let my dogs out every couple of hours, always have food available for them and take them outside to play fetch whenever the weather permits
“Morgan is great with my zoo of animals. I love how she is able to stay at my house to keep them used to their surroundings, sends lots of updates, and cute photos to know that they are not missing us. She is my go-to pet sitter and would highly recommend!”
“From the meet and greet, it was obvious that Grace is a dog lover. While we were on vacation, Grace kept us updated with pictures of our pups. When delays kept us away longer than expected, Grace was flexible, professional, and accommodating.”
“Casey was fantastic! I appreciated her communication ahead of tome and pre-meeting us and then updates and pictures throughout the visit. Will definitely be scheduling again!”
About: I have experience with just about every type of pet regardless of age. I have experience with kittens and puppies as well as rescues with high care needs as well as their medication schedules. I began pet sitting when I was very young and have always loved it. I have special experience with caring for dogs with trauma and special situations. It is my privilege to meet those needs. I am available every weekday before 8:45 and every weeknight after 5pm. On weekends I have full day availability on Saturday and Sunday. Currently I am a happy lover of my two dogs and cats at home and my cat Tonka Truck. I usually begin my day with feeding and letting them out and repeat that after shifts. Apart from the usual litter box changes and feeding, it’s necessary to give my older dog medication in the middle of the day. These routines fit well in my life. I care for pets with a high degree of input from clients. While I do have a lot of experience with pet care, it is ultimately your baby and you know your pet best. Any suggestions, rules, and schedules are my privilege to abide by. I cannot care for pets in my own home due to the trauma needs of my own pets, but I am very conscious of house preferences and pet needs in clients’ homes. I am flexible with play schedules and meal times and have become efficient at administering medication from experience with my own dogs. I am also able to meet any sanitation and safety preferences during this time.

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.

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.
