“Hayden goes above and beyond and truly cared for my cats’ wellbeing. She paid attention to behavior patterns for me when my cat was sick during my vacation which made me feel confident leaving them in her hands. Great communication and customer service. I trust her very much!!”
“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.”
About: I've been around pets all my life and currently have a cat. Although it struggles with accepting affection, I do not struggle with giving it. So please, allow me to come and love upon the creatures of your home. It's a job I was made for... loving and petting and walking and being just the best pet person you've ever known. Can I pet your dog?
About: I've always been the animal person. I grew up with 2 dogs and a cat, and a variety of small animals. As an adult, I'm the person who friends call when they find an animal that needs help or they know someone who knows someone that needs animal help. I volunteer at a low cost spay and neuter clinic, and I usually have at least one foster animal under my care in addition to my own menagerie. I have experience with dogs of all sizes, cats of all temperaments, birds, small animals, fish, reptiles, and invertebrates. I have multiple years of experience providing care to animals with complex needs ranging from behavioral issues to medical conditions. I am comfortable administering oral and subcutaneous medications if your pet requires them. I currently work part time, so I am available most days to help you keep your critters cared for. On days that I am available, I am open to working with your schedule and am available the majority of the day for drop in visits to help keep your pets comfortable and happy. I offer drop in visits to help you keep your pets routine consistent and ease your stress levels. I take the time to get to know your pets and their needs, so that they barely notice when you're gone.
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.
About: Hi! I'm a dedicated pet sitter with five years of experience caring for pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I've always loved animals, and being able to care for them has been one of the most rewarding parts of my life. I know how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family members, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, belly rubs, or simply having someone nearby to keep them company, I'm happy to provide the care and attention they need. I'm reliable, patient, and committed to keeping your pets happy, safe, and comfortable while you're away. My goal is to make sure both you and your pet feel at ease, so you can enjoy your time away knowing they're in caring hands. I work full-time with a consistent, fixed schedule, which allows me to plan pet care visits reliably. Because my work hours don't change, I can offer dependable availability before and after work, as well as evenings, weekends, and holidays with advance notice. This predictable schedule helps me provide consistent, attentive care while ensuring every pet gets the time, love, and attention they deserve. I'm happy to discuss my availability to make sure it's a great fit for your pet's needs. When caring for pets in their own home, I do my best to keep their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I follow your instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications, and any special care your pet may need. I make sure they receive plenty of love, attention, and companionship while you're away, and I always respect your home by keeping it clean and secure. I know how important it is to have someone you can trust, so I treat both your pets and your home with the same care and respect I would my own. My goal is for you to return home to a happy, comfortable pet and the peace of mind that they were well cared for.
“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!”

“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: I am equally comfortable with dogs and cats so multi pet homes aren’t an issue. I hold great patience for shy or independent pets and real energy for dogs that need active walks or playtime. I have no issue with adjusting to what your pet actually needs rather than introducing a generic routine. Currently I am a student so I am best for the weekends but if you need help during the week my Wednesday’s are open and Tuesday and Thursday evenings are available as well for visits. I treat every home like it’s my own so respecting your space and following your instructions will be easy. I’m great at communicating and i’ll make sure to keep you updated to relieve your worries and make sure your pets feel safe in their home while your presence is missed.

About: I have always owned a pet! I’ve had two dogs and one cat during my lifetime. I love animals, and I think this would be the perfect job for 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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
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.
