Nicole is dependable and would definitely use her again. She helped let me know that my dog was having urinary issues too so I could make a vet appointment for the next day and avoid an emergency vet

Can't explain how grateful I am. Just words can't explain. My dog loved her and she treated her amazingly. Absolutely no complaints or worries about my dog being not taken care of. She takes care of the pup and is involed with the pup

About: Hi! My name is Lauren and I’m looking to cat sit anytime and dog sit Friday-Sunday. I’m a dependable and compassionate pet sitter with over five years of experience caring for dogs, cats, and other household pets. I understand that every pet has a unique personality and routine, so I strive to provide personalized care that keeps them happy, comfortable, and safe while you’re away. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, feeding, administering medications, or simply providing companionship, I treat every pet as if they were my own. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your furry family members are in caring, responsible hands. As a PhD student, my schedule can vary from week to week depending on classes, research, and clinical responsibilities. I’m happy to discuss my availability once you know your travel dates, and I’ll always be upfront about what I can accommodate. I’ll do my best to provide reliable, flexible care that fits both your schedule and your pet’s needs. Your pet’s comfort and safety are my top priorities. I’ll carefully follow your instructions, keep your pet’s routine as consistent as possible, and make sure they receive plenty of love, attention, and gentle care while you’re away. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pet, so I’ll treat your home with respect and your pet as if they were my own. I’ll also send regular photo and video updates so you can see how they are doing and enjoy peace of mind throughout your trip.

About: Animals have been part of my life since I was three years old, and I’ve loved every whisker, wag, and wiggle along the way. I’ve cared for cats, dogs, hamsters, gerbils, guinea pigs, rabbits, and even fish — if it has paws, fur, or fins, it’s had a place in my home and my heart. Over the years, I’ve gained hands‑on experience with puppies, seniors, and pets who need a little extra TLC. I’m comfortable administering medication and supporting pets through illness, always with patience and gentle care. I treat every animal like family, because that’s exactly what they’ve always been to me. Whether your pup needs a brisk walk, a slow stroll, or just a friendly face, I’m here to make their day brighter and keep their tail wagging. I’m available throughout the day to stop by and give your pets all the attention they need — whether that’s a quick visit for pets and love, a longer hangout, or a nice walk to break up their day. I’m flexible with timing and happy to provide extra check-ins if your furry family member needs a little more company or care. At home, my pets are truly family, and their care reflects that every day. I feed my German Shepherd, Grischa and Boxer mix, Elsa, every morning and evening with their vitamins, fish oil, and allergy medication, and my cat Brey gets his meals on the same schedule. I scoop the litter box daily to keep things fresh, and the dogs enjoy multiple trips to our fenced backyard — staying out as long as they want when the weather is nice. They get healthy treats throughout the day, but only after a good shake, spin, stay, or another fun trick. Caring for them is part of my routine and one of my favorite parts of the day.

About: I grew up in a house with seven big dogs and three cats, so I am very comfortable handling large breeds and multiple personalities at once. Currently, I have two cats of my own, so I understand firsthand how to care for animals. Over the last four years, I have provided reliable care for both dogs and cats. This includes a three-year period as a go-to sitter for one family’s dog and a full year of dedicated cat-sitting for another. Whether it is sticking to a strict feeding schedule or making sure a high-energy dog gets enough exercise, I treat every pet as if they were my own. I am observant, dependable, and will always keep you updated so you can have peace of mind while you are away. I would love to help make sure your pets feel loved and well-cared for. Since I am currently working from home, I have a very flexible schedule that allows me to prioritize pet care throughout the day. I can easily accommodate mid-day walks, specific feeding times, or provide extra company for pets who do not like being alone. My routine is built around being reliable and available, so I can give your dogs or cats the consistent attention and activity they need to stay happy while you are away. When I am in a client's home, my top priority is maintaining a safe and secure environment for every pet. I grew up in a household with seven large dogs and three cats, so I am very observant of animal body language and potential hazards. I make sure all doors and gates are properly latched, stick strictly to your specific feeding and medication instructions, and provide regular photo updates so you have total peace of mind. I treat every home with respect and every pet with the same patience I give my own two cats. Whether it is managing a high-energy breed or a senior pet who needs a gentle touch, I focus on building trust through calm, consistent care and clear communication with you.

About: I grew up with indoor pets and learned how to care for my little doggies and bunny rabbit as a child. Over the past several years, I have been trusted by friends, neighbors and family to care for, walk, play with, feed and clean after up their pets. I will be attending dog grooming school in the fall, but my schedule is very flexible. The dog grooming school I attend is predominantly online, therefore allowing flexibility in pet care scheduling. I am available weekdays and weekends and am happy to try and modify my schedule to meet your needs. I try to follow the family’s requests regarding their pet’s routines and needs. In attempt to keep the pet comfortable and happy, I focus on providing feedings, changing water, allowing for outside play and toileting time. I love to play with all types of pets and hope to make them feel safe and secure while their family is away. I look out for the pet’s safety and report any concerning signs of illness/injury back to the family (as needed).

Mallory did an amazing job! My dog can get anxious since she is blind, but she did not show any signs of that when I got home. Mimi was very comfortable with Mallory. I will definitely be using her again!!

Somiya was very proactive and reached out to meet my dog beforehand so that she would know how to best take care of her. I also loved the follow up pictures and notes on how my doggie behaved. I definitely recommend Somiya if you are looking for someone to go above and beyond for your pets needs!

FAQs for Dog Walking - Richland

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Walking in Richland on Rover is $22.2 per walk (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Walking 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 Dog Walking. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of August 2026, there are 994 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Richland. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.

Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Richland. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Richland.

Got specific details you'd like the dog walker to include? Message them in the app before your dog’s walk begins.

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 walker 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 .

Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Richland. On Rover:

  • 98% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% 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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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 walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and walkers 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 walker.
