Cassidy did a great job caring for Evie while we were away! She truly went above and beyond. Right before we left for vacation, Evie unexpectedly went into her first heat cycle. Cassidy handled it like a pro. She text me updates to let me know how Evie was doing and even picked our zucchinis from the garden that were ready and put them in the fridge for us. I would highly reccomend her to anyone looking for a house or pet sitter.

Kaiti stayed with our 2 dogs and cat for a week! This was her first stay with our kids and everything went really well! We kind of have a complex little pup and she handled him very well! She gave him his space but also did his most favorite thing in the world…fetch! When we came home, the house was just the way we left it and we were very appreciate how quick she was when responding to us. We hope to have her watch our babies again soon!

Kaylee was a big help to us. She agreed to the sitting on short notice and that enabled us to attend a funeral in Taiwan. The house was kept in good condition - she washed the sheets and towels, as well as the dishes. Chloe is a rescue pup with anxiety issues, and Kaylee was able to help her deal with our absence.

Lisa was the perfect fit for our Mabel Mae. She stayed in our home and cared for Mabel and took care of our house for two weeks. Lisa was great at sending pics of Mabel and communicating daily. I could see how happy Mabel was in the pics she sent. Everything was in perfect order when we got home. It was such a blessing to leave and not worry about Mabel and to come home to a happy pup! I would highly recommend Lisa!

About: Fully fenced backyard. Safe neighborhood with wide sidewalks and plenty of neighborly love. Plenty of areas for doggos to safely relax, run, play and stay. Home during days and nights. Teenagers in the house provide extra hands for running, walking, feeding, and scratching. Best of all are daily trips to Badger Mountain Dog Park. Pets are always treated gently, with the utmost respect. Never would your pet by physically unsafe or harmed in my care. Your pets safety and happiness is my #1 priority.

About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life. For the past six years, I've cared for a wide variety of pets, including dogs, cats, birds, reptiles, and other small animals. I've owned and cared for dogs of all sizes, from extra large breeds to small companion dogs, and no amount of energy is too much. I love keeping active and making sure every pet gets the exercise, playtime, and attention they need. At home, I have three dogs, two cats, and several reptiles, so caring for animals is part of my everyday life. Whether it's walks, playtime, feeding, administering basic medications, cleaning habitats, or simply providing companionship, I treat every animal as if they were my own. I understand how important it is to have someone you can trust with your pets, and my goal is to ensure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you're away. My schedule is very flexible right now, allowing me to accommodate last-minute bookings, extended visits, and changes in plans whenever possible. If you need reliable pet care on short notice, just reach out, and I'll do my best to be on my way as soon as possible. I'm happy to work around your schedule to make sure your pets receive the care they deserve. Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. As a pet owner myself to three dogs, two cats, and several reptiles, I understand how much trust it takes to leave your furry, feathered, or scaly family member in someone else's care. I strive to create a calm, loving, and stress-free environment where every pet feels safe and secure. I carefully follow your pet's routine, respect any special instructions, and provide regular updates so you can have peace of mind while you're away. Whether your companion is energetic, shy, young, or a senior, I'll treat them with the same patience, attention, and love that I give my own pets.

Paulina was above and beyond that I could have asked for. Constant updates and pictures, taking those extra steps to even tidy up and clean the messy floor. It was a blessing to know my babies were taken care of and a huge relief to come home and know everyone and everything was in good shape. Will absolutely ask for her help in future trips and needs. She is a wonderful person and sitter.

About: What sets me apart is the genuine love, patience, and attention I give every pet. I understand that leaving your furry family member with someone new can be stressful, so I work hard to make both you and your pet feel comfortable and confident. I believe every animal has their own personality and routine, and I take the time to get to know what makes them happiest. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles on the couch, or simply having someone nearby, I’m happy to provide the care they need. I’m comfortable caring for puppies who need extra patience, consistency, and potty breaks, as well as senior pets who may require a slower pace, medication reminders, or extra comfort and attention. I’ll always treat your pets as if they were my own, providing lots of love, updates, and photos so you can enjoy peace of mind while you’re away. My goal is to create a safe, fun, and loving environment where your pet feels happy, secure, and well cared for. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide consistent care, whether that’s walks, feeding, playtime, potty breaks, or simply keeping pets company. I make it a priority to stick to each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible so they feel comfortable and secure while their owners are away. I believe pets thrive on consistency, attention, and love, so I always make time to ensure they receive the care they deserve. Whether it’s a quick drop-in visit, multiple visits throughout the day, or overnight care, I’m committed to making every pet feel safe, happy, and well cared for. client’s home, my priority is making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, including feeding schedules, walks, potty breaks, playtime, medications (if needed), and any special instructions from their owner. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect both the pet’s routine and the owner’s home. I make sure pets receive plenty of attention, exercise, affection, fresh water, and clean living spaces while keeping owners updated with photos and messages so they know their pet is doing well. If caring for pets in my home, I provide a clean, calm, and pet-friendly environment where they can relax, play, and feel like part of the family. I closely supervise pets, ensure they always have access to fresh water, and give them plenty of exercise, enrichment, and affection throughout their stay. My goal is to make every pet feel happy, comfortable, and cared for while giving owners peace of mind that their furry family member is in loving and reliable hands.

Kandace was wonderful! She stopped by to have a meet and greet with Chloe that went so well! Then she came back over the next day to walk with me and Chloe and again later to take just Chloe. I was very impressed with how she introduced herself not only to Chloe but to me and my husband. Her interactions with Chloe were comfortable and with confidence as Chloe can sometimes remember she is a husky! 😊 She stayed two nights in our home with Chloe and sent pictures. I highly recommend Kandace. We were able to go out of town and have no worries.

FAQs for House Sitting - Richland

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for House Sitting in Richland on Rover is $38.85 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

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

As of September 2026, there are 223 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Richland. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

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.

Tip: 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. 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 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 .

If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.

For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.

Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters 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 sitter.

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

  • 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 94% 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.
