“India did a wonderful job caring for my guinea pig. She was very flexible and understanding when my trip was shortened which I appreciate so much. Parsnip was in great hands!”
“This was our first time using Michelle’s services and we are very impressed! She was reliable, took great care of our dog and sent lots of pictures. We will definitely be scheduling again!”
About: I've kettle trained puppy's. On many occasions I would have to hear a pup cry all night long. I've taught them to wait until going outside to poo. I can also say that I have dealt with dogs that pee out of excitement, fear, etc. I only had some brief experience with a senior dog which was my older sisters dog. I have my own dog and have picked up grooming skills. I want to have a flexible schedule because I am planning to go back to school. I also love animals and do not find it hard to take care of them. This job would allow me to fit two things I love into my life with minimal problem. At home I have a small dog who is 2 years old. He still has a puppy mindset and loves to go on walks. I groom him every other day. I cut his nails even when he dislikes it and I bathe him. Every client is different, every animal is different. I would like to communicate what they want from me and what I can do for them. With every client I can assure I will do my best to take care of their beloved animal(s).
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.
“Jillian was a wonderful sitter for our cat for our two week Europe trip. She was quick to communicate, very flexible and took great care of Ellie! We would definitely have her back anytime!”
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: 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.
About: I am a patient, and enjoy learning new pet characteristics :) I like interacting with them making sure they stay active and have fun with me. Going to college I am free Friday-Sunday! I will use the $$ towards college :) thank you! I am looking forward to hanging out and taking care of new fur babies ! Super excited I’ll be driving to you and would love to meet your fur baby. I enjoy keeping them active while they are with me. Safety is key for me
About: I love animals and they love me! I have been pet sitting for 3 years and have several repeat clients. I have had medical needy dogs I care for, senior dogs, and so many more. I love to help reduce their stress when their family is gone. I make it my job. I am there for the pets so I work my routine around them. Our pets are our family members and I work to give them the care and love they desire while the family is absent. I ask clients questions before hand, ask for a full list of instructions of what the pets require at bed time, meal time, potty time, and kenneling. I ask to meet the clients pets before the pet sitting date so their pets have met me and ask them to show me where they keep all the pet supplies so I can make sure they can leave their pets in my care without having to worry about a thing.
“Marsha did a wonderful job during her one-hour drop-in visit with our dog. She arrived right on time and immediately demonstrated how comfortable and experienced she is with animals. Our dog was a little excited and barking when she first arrived, but Marsha remained calm, confident, and patient, quickly helping our dog settle down and feel comfortable. Throughout the visit, she kept us updated with pictures, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. It was clear from the photos that our dog was happy, relaxed, and enjoying the visit. Marsha’s professionalism and genuine connection with animals really stood out. We would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter.”
“Tamara took great care of our dog Zoey , while we were out of town . She sent several text messages and pictures. She watch Zoey for 24 hours. She is terrific with animals and communication with her is super easy. Will uses her again ?”
About: I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember! My husband and I share our home with two dogs, two cats, and a flock of chickens… so there’s never a dull moment. I have hands-on experience caring for senior cats and helping family members with their senior dogs, and I truly understand the extra love and patience they need. Both of our dogs have completed basic training, so I’m familiar with canine behavior, routines, and positive reinforcement. Whether your pet loves to play or just prefers pets, I’ll make sure they feel like family under my woof… I mean, roof, of course. 🐶🩷 I’m a stay-at-home mom, so I’m always home to care for and love your fur babies! My home is calm and structured, with lots of attention, potty breaks, and supervision throughout the day. I make sure pups get out frequently, and I always monitor them while they’re in our fenced backyard. We enjoy about 30 minutes of dedicated outdoor play 2–3 times a day, and I make adjustments as needed to ensure every dog is having a fun and safe experience. We can always do walks if your pup prefers that, just let me know how I can best care for your fur babies and I will make sure they are comfortable and happy! 🚗 Drop Off/Pick Up Hours: Between 5AM–9PM for both daycare and boarding, if you need a time outside of this timeframe, adjustments can be made, just let me know! I have a fully fenced yard and two friendly dogs to play with your pups. Our chickens are in a coop and cannot be accessed by the dogs. My cats can be placed in a separate room if that is necessary! I can easily crate your dog as well if needed. They’re more than welcome to make themselves at home on our furniture; whether that’s on the couch or our bed!
“Best pet sitter I have ever had! The dogs loved them and were always happy to see them come in. I got a lot of pictures of them while I was away and I will definitely be using them again when I need them!”
About: I have taken care of my own animals my whole life, as well as professionally as a career for some time. I have experience with all sorts of animals of all ages and all types of needs from playing with puppies to helping senior cats take their medicine. I have experience with some farm animals, reptiles, birds, bugs, arachnids, and small animals like hamsters, mice, rats, guinea pigs, and rabbits. I work a 9-5 Tuesday-Saturday, some days my schedule changes. The pet care I could provide would best fit for overnight stays, and pets that are used to being alone throughout the day. I can provide walks and drop-ins anytime outside of those working hours. Communication is incredibly important to me as a sitter, and making sure your pet is comfortable while making sure you feel they’re safe is my main goal. I send daily updates along with photos to ensure you know exactly how your pet is cared for.
About: Ive had a dog as long as I can remember and volunteereed at animal shelters in my area for years. I love animals of all kinds and being around them, and look forward to helping with your furry friends! I hope to have a future in the vet tech industry as well. I will treat your pet like family and make sure they are loved and cared for properly! I have plenty of free time to look after your furry friends while im adapting to being in a new town. I am free most days and able to check on your friends! I have a part time job with short shifts (4 hour shifts typically) so I am never away for long! I can keep your fur baby company and provide a safe space for them based on their needs. While my home is not currently available, I am happy to make sure your pet isnt alone in theirs while you work or tend to obligations.
About: I have had dogs in my home for the majority of my life and loved every minute of it. After recently losing our girl to old age I’ve been missing time with fur babies. They really are the best! I’ve joined Rover to love on other fur babies and get some steps in all at the same time! I currently work as a medical device rep so my schedule is extremely variable and based on if I have cases scheduled or not. I have found myself working much less than I’m used to and because of that I’m looking to pick up a new hobby/side hustle as I enjoy keeping myself busy. I would prefer to meet any fur babies for the first time with the owner present. This is very important to me. I want to feel comfortable with your dog and build some trust. My biggest priority is to keep myself and your dog safe.
About: New to Rover, but still as familiar with dogs and cats as ever! I’ve taken care of dogs and cats since 12 years old. I have a deep love for animals and find them to be emotional beings. I just had my baby boy at the end of February & I’m looking to gain a little income dog sitting. Hoping to connect with dogs that are well-behaved and acclimated to being around a small child :) I intend to provide comfort and security for each and every pet. I am greatly considerate of an animals wants and needs, making them feel safe.

I highly recommend Kacie! She went above and beyond every day and sent me photos and texts with excellent communication throughout the entire booking. It's clear that Kacie truly cares about the pets she looks after. Zeke was happy, comfortable, and well cared for while I was away. I would not hesitate to trust Kacie with Zeke in the future!

If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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!
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.

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 .
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking.
