“Hayden was amazing! It was clear she cared about our kitties. She followed our instructions and we enjoyed meeting her before she accepted to take care of our kitties. We appreciated the pictures she shared with us to let us know they were okay. We had been hesitant to try Rover and decided to take a chance. Hayden's services put us at ease. We will be requesting her again in the future. Thank you so much Hayden!”
“Mariah was amazing! She responded very quickly when we requested a booking. She was super kind and helped me navigate having my kitties come to her home as I had never used this service before. She kept me posted throughout the day and even sent pictures. My kitties felt right at home with her and they loved all the attention from her little girls 💖Thanks for taking good care of our babies! We will definitely request Mariah again when we travel.”
“Lisa took exceptional care of Mellow—she was attentive to her needs and ensured she remained comfortable throughout. She was also very flexible with our schedule and kept us reassured with regular updates and photos.”
“Sadielyn is a godsend! She sends thorough notes and many pictures. It is always so hard someone that is good with cats, but she is excellent. Even my shy girl came out to see her. Thank you Sadielyn!”
About: Animals truly have a special place in my heart. I've been the designated "pet sitter" for friends and family for as long as I can remember and I would love to meet some new fur babies! I've had dogs and cats all my life and I spent the summer volunteering at an animal shelter, so I understand how to work with animals and different personality types. Anxious or not, I got you! I love taking them on walks, bringing homemade or store-bought treats (with parent permission of course), and going to the dog park! They will be spoiled around here, trust me. Thank you for considering me! I’m currently self employed, so I have lots of free time to spend with your pets! If you let me know at least a couple days in advance, I can be there! My number 1 priority is your pets comfort, I will always do my best to make sure they are taken care of. I am also very competent and can follow any instructions regarding your pets diet, schedule, and/or behavior.
About: Please don’t allow my reduced star rating to deter you from booking with me! I unfortunately took on a couple jobs that I shouldn’t have with dogs with behavior issues and the owners ended up blaming me although I provided the best care possible. :( I am now more diligent in asking the necessary questions before accepting a job. I do this because I love animals and also to earn very much needed extra income for my family of 8. I have had pets all my life including dogs, cats, rabbits, fish, hamsters, frogs, and turtles. I also grew up in a small farm town for a good part of my childhood and was around a lot of farm animals. I currently have 1 dog of my own who is friendly and playful, as well as kids who can help keep your fur babies active and having fun. We live in a quiet neighborhood perfect for walks. I work from home, so I have a flexible schedule and can work with your needs. I have mostly open availability on the weekends and also for boarding or overnight care. I have a yard with room to run, although it isn’t fenced, we do have an outdoor kennel area and a dog run line. I’m also able to crate pets inside if needed. I can also take dogs for walks around our quiet, private neighborhood, or to the dog park for more room to run.
“We cannot say enough wonderful things about Juanita! She is kind, reliable and truly loves animals. She sent us thorough check ins, and loved on our kitties more than any Rover sitter ever has! I’m so grateful to have found her, she will be the ONLY person we use from now on! If you are looking for someone to take care of your pets with love, tenderness and care, hire this woman!”
“Alana was great! She took great care of our kitty while we were out of town and was very communicative which made us feel much more comfortable about leaving our cat at home. We will definitely use her services again in the future!”
“Isabella was great! She took fantastic care of both our clingy cat and our home! Very good communication, she sent pictures every day and responded promptly to my messages. We would love to have her house sit for us again. Highly recommend her!”
About: I work as a veterinary assistant at an urgent care facility in town. I’ve worked in urgent care going on 5 years and general practice for 2 years. I occasionally cat sit and dog sit. I have a lot of knowledge in my career but I also love spending time with animals and making sure they’re happy, the clients and I just overall enjoy the joy they bring to me! I work 3 12s but I am able to stop in the check on the fur babies on my lunches. I also am very flexible with times I need to go take care of them on my days off as well. I have two kitties of my own. I don’t plan on being able to board pets at my own home due to me renting a house without a fenced backyard.
About: I’ve had a love for animals for as long as I can remember! Growing up surrounded by different types of pets has given me over 20 years of personal experience caring for animals and understanding the importance of providing them with love, patience, and attention. I understand that pets aren’t just animals; they’re family. When someone trusts me to care for their furry companion, I take that responsibility seriously. I’m comfortable with everyday pet care responsibilities, including feeding, walking, potty breaks, playtime, and making sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I know how important it is to have peace of mind when leaving your pet in someone else’s care. My goal is to provide a positive, stress-free experience for both you and your pet by treating them with the same kindness, attention, and care I would give my own. Whether your pet needs an energetic walk, some extra playtime, or simply companionship and affection, I’m happy to provide the care and attention they deserve! I currently have a flexible schedule and am available seven days a week, from mornings through evenings! Whether you need daily walks, drop-in visits, or extended pet sitting, I’m happy to accommodate your pet’s needs. With the holidays approaching, I’m also accepting holiday bookings! My priority is providing reliable, loving care while keeping your pets happy, comfortable, and safe while you’re away. 🐾 As a pet owner of two dogs and a cat, I understand how important it is to provide a safe, loving, and comfortable environment. I also have experience caring for pets through Rover, including dogs and a guinea pig! I always prioritize each pet’s individual needs, routines, and safety. Whether caring for your pets in my home or yours, I treat them like family. I’m happy to provide regular updates and photos so you can enjoy peace of mind knowing your furry loved ones are in caring, reliable hands! ❤️
“Cesilia was great with Loki & Raider! When Cesilia came by for the meet & greet, the dogs seemed to like her right away. Loki enjoyed some playtime with his new stuffy during the drop ins. Raider is always shy around new people, but I think she will warm up to Cesilia with a few more drop ins and upcoming housesitting.”
About: My family has owned dogs as big and energetic as Dalmatians and as small and laid back as mini poodle mixes— I’m really comfortable with all types of dogs. I know some look scary on the outside but have hearts of gold! I also have experience taking care of reactive/anxious type dogs and know the common triggers to avoid. I have a good sense of humor and just love dogs! I’m home from college for the summer and other than a few online classes, have a really open schedule. I don’t do walks on Sundays, but other than that I’m free! I take cues from the pet on how to proceed— if they are shy I will give them time to warm up to me before leashing and walking, or if they are excited and willing, I am too!
About: All my life I have loved and cared for animals. That's why after years of being the person my family and friends asked to watch and care for their pets, I decided to turn my passion into a part-time side hustle. I get excited on the days I wake up knowing I get to spend time with furry friends! I love all breeds and sizes of dogs, but I have particular experience with: Chihuahua's, Cocker Spaniel's, Terrier's, Labrador's, Retriever's, Pit-Bulls, Border Collie's, German Shepherd's, and Doberman Pinscher's. I'm currently attending an online university, which affords me scheduling flexibility for a variety of pet related needs. My own rescue dog, Bear has taught me so much about canine behavior and patience! He brings me continuous joy and fun every day. Rain, sleet, snow, or sun I pride myself on the reliability I offer. I have a genuine love for all animals and flexibility that includes weekdays, weekends, and holidays including Christmas. My availability allows me to have flexibility in scheduling weekday and weekend pet care, including early mornings and late nights. I am able to provide multiple drop-in visits per day. I am also available during all school and national holidays, including Christmas. My schedule is perfect for weekend getaways, family visits, and even the working pet parents. I offer free meet and greets before bookings so we can discuss your individual needs and decide if I am a good fit for both you and your pets. I usually respond quickly so feel free to message me with dates, times, and any other relevant information. I understand the challenge it can be to find good, reliable pet care that's tailored to you and your pets unique needs and schedule. That is why I offer a variety of pet care options. Including, 30-minute walks, 60-minute walks, drop-in visits, multiple pets, daily and drop in visits and walks, overnight care and extended stays. I can confidently administer medication, provide bathing and grooming, playtime and exercise time, and feeding and watering. I tailor care plans so it is specific to each pet. I also provide photo and text updates to give you peace of mind. I specialize in providing care in your home, so pets stay comfortable in their own environments while you're away. For overnight and extended stays I also provide simple home security measures (mail collection, package pickup, lights on/off, trash and recycle bins takeout) as well as plant watering and simple home cleaning, at no extra charge. Also, I offer repeat clients a discount for referrals to friends and family (and they book a service with me)

Kylee was great! She let me book on short notice and accommodated my cats early morning schedule while I was away. She had great communication, and gave me updates about my cats water fountain, how well he was eating, and even helped to reset my litter robot when it had an error.

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Richland is $20 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $29 per visit. 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.

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
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.
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.

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.
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.
