“Kaylie is an absolute sweetheart! She's professional, approachable, thorough, and kind, and she truly loves animals. Our pets were so well cared for, and it was obvious they loved having her around. We came home to a happy house and happy animals. Kaylie is our go-to whenever we travel, and we can't recommend her highly enough!”
“Chase was wonderful with our rambunctious 11 month old dog. He even went above and beyond to ensure our dogs safety when our house was placed just outside a wildfire evacuation warning.”
About: I have 20 years of experience caring for pets and understand that every animal has their own personality and needs. I enjoy spending time with animals, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I can help with feeding, walks, playtime, companionship, and maintaining their routines. I treat every pet with patience, kindness, and care, just like they are part of my own family. I am not working right now so my schedule is usually free. I will work with you to find times that fit both of our schedules. I can provide care, playtime, walks, feeding, and companionship while making sure your pets feel comfortable and cared for. Your pet's safety and comfort are always my priorities. I will follow your instructions carefully, respect your home, and make sure your pet's routine is maintained. I understand the importance of secure leashes, safe surroundings, fresh water, and close supervision. I will treat your pet and your home with respect and keep you updated so you can feel confident while you're away.
“Alyssa did a great job caring for our 2 cats and 3 dogs. We appreciated the pictures she sent and her prompt responses to any questions. We would definitely trust Alyssa with our pets again.”
“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!”
“Lacy did an amazing job taking care of our doodle for 12 days! Our pup is on heart meds every 12 hours and she took care of all her needs. Lacy spent the night with her as she’s never been home alone over night and even let her sleep with her. I highly recommend Lacy to watch your fur babies!”
“Tamara is simply amazing! She took care of our girls for two nights and three days. She communicated frequently, sent updates and pictures of how our girls were doing and left our home cleaner than when she came. Thank you so much for taking such great care of our girls, Tamara! ❤️”
“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!”
“Briana did amazing. She went above and beyond for my pups. One had recent surgery for a CCL and weighs 60 pounds, and I was surprised to see her carrying up and down the stairs (3 flights) the entire weekend I was gone. Was not expecting that. Definitely would recommend and will be using her in the future!”
“Keyera was so good with our dogs!! She babysat them for a number of days and was very communicative the whole time. She managed them beautifully! I highly recommend her and could not say enough about this wonderful and kind dog whisperer!”
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.
About: I've had pets since I was born, so usually i'm quick to be befriended by most animals. Over the years I have had experience with taking care of many pets including dogs, cats, rabbits and I’m always loving and attentive with all of them! I am available for regular walks in Tri-cities and overnight stays in both my camper home/your home! I am also available for walks weekdays between 7am-5pm weekdays (depending on location). Weekends I am available from 7am-3pm, unless boarding which is much more flexible! Care for your pets will be given with my absolute undivided attention! Pets are always welcome in my camper home, which sits on a grassed garden area in lovely Benton City. I kindly ask that supplies (including doggy bags, crates and bowls) should be provided by you upon arrival, as well as anything your pet may find comforting to have with 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.
“Adelita was great - terrific communication, took wonderful loving care of my pets that typically don't like people they don't know. She was very good at gaining their trust, and provided tender loving care in my absence. I couldn't have asked for anyone better to care for my home and pets, she wanted to make sure she provided outstanding service and accommodate my needs. Thank you, Adi!”
“Liz is so great with my nutty Aussie! Patient, sends good photo updates. She stayed in my house and made my girl feel loved, took her on walks which can be a challenge. Thanks so much!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Richland
Gray did an awesome job of pet-sitting for my giant old man Pebble who has separation anxiety. Gray was awesome at communicating, he answered all my questions quickly and it was great to come home to a happy dog instead of a stressed out anxious one. And it was so nice to come home to a clean house instead of everything scattered around from my dog trying to self soothe. Thank you so much Gray! I would definitely book with Gray again.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Richland is $39 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $28 and $67 per night. 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.

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 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.
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.

- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
