“Thank you so much DeAnna for taking such a great care of Riesling and sending all the photo updates, she was happy and relaxed. Thanks for thanking care of some plants outside😊”
“So thankful we found Mariah. She has been so responsive and helpful. Always on time, provides great daily updates, and the best pictures. Her sweet disposition automatically put me at ease along with our pups.”
“Lisa did an incredible job with our babies! She went above and beyond in making sure they were well cared for, got to play, and had plenty of lovins. Will absolutely book again.”
“She’s fantastic! Couldn’t ask for more! My dog loves her and that alone was imperative for us since our dog nanny is literally playing ‘nanny’ and helping our bitch nurse 11 puppies. The job at hand was highly specific and tailored to our need. Barb has been on time and highly conscientious of all the specific requests we had in order to follow the same flow of what was already set in place. There is a high level of chaos at this house and Barb brings calmness to the environment with the added ability to assimilate to the environment and mesh well with our unique family dynamic. Barb is considerate, insightful, intelligent and educated. We are blessed to have Barb as our dog nanny.”
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.
“Jessica was amazing with my two large breed bully pups! One is super high energy and still a puppy, and the other is more calm. She did a great job meeting both of their needs and got their energy and snuggles out while we were away for a few days. Jessica also gave one his medication daily. I’m so happy to have found a go to sitter for my pups, and be worry free during our trips! Thank you Jessica!!”
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.
“Lacy is a stellar sitter! She went above and beyond and took wonderful care of my boys. She even left the cutest report card for my kitties. Absolutely love her! Will be booking with her again.”

I also have experience taking care of pools & hot tubs with knowledge in how to balance chlorine levels accurately, and I pride myself in being incredibly detail and routine oriented. I am always comfortable taking care of a home including cleaning, yard work, etc. as well as taking care of your furry friends. I do work locally here in tricities, but often have nights free, I am flexible and can work with you and your pets needs, I am more than happy to work with you on getting you pet the best possible care! I prioritize safety, trust, and a calm, welcoming environment in every pet care experience. Your pet’s well being is always my top concern, and I take care to follow any routines, preferences, or special instructions you provide. I understand how important trust is when leaving your pet with someone else, so I communicate clearly, give regular updates, and treat your home and pet with the same respect I would my own. My goal is to create a stress free, secure environment where your pet feels comfortable, cared for, and happy while you’re away!
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.
“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: I’ve had experience pet sitting for family, friends and neighbors. I’m open to pet sitting and weekly walks. I can be very flexible and super open to whatever you need that is wanted. I am currently working part-time and have some extra time. I love being around animals and have had a lot of experience pet sitting. I have experience caring for pets in my clients' homes and always strive to make them feel comfortable while their owners are away. My experience includes dog walking, overnight stays, feeding, providing fresh water, playtime, and giving pets plenty of attention and affection. I follow each owner's instructions carefully and am flexible in meeting each pet's individual needs. My goal is to provide reliable, loving care so both pets and their owners have peace of mind.
About: I’ve cared and watched dogs and cats for several years, including drop-in services, house sitting and boarding. I have also owned cats and dogs almost my entire life and love spending time around them. I work full time, but have summers and holidays off and free every weekend. During summers and weekends I can do several drop ins as well as sit for several days in a row. I have a large fenced back yard where dogs can run, I don’t currently have any pets of my own so the dog or cat will get 100% of the attention. If watching at your home, being respectful of the home, cleaning up after the pet and myself if any messes, leaving the home just as when I first entered.
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 taken care of dogs since i was very young. I’ve trained puppies and taken care of senior pups. Can walk and feed and play with to get all the zoomies out. Im currently a college student so summer im free most of the day and night and during the semester i will have a couple classes during the day, but morning and nights are completely free.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Richland
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!
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 Pet Sitting in Richland is $20 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $28 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.
As of October 2026, there are 315 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Richland. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. 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.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Richland. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
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.
