About: What sets me apart is my dedication, adaptability, and genuine love for animals. While I may not have formal pet care experience, I am eager to learn and committed to providing the best care possible. I take the time to understand each pet’s unique needs and follow instructions carefully to ensure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved in my care. I am currently a sophomore in college. I do have a job but I am looking to earn a bit of extra cash. I also plan on becoming a veterinarian so any hands on experience with animals helps in so many ways! I provide personalized care based on each pet’s needs, ensuring they feel safe and comfortable. I follow feeding schedules, go on walks, provide playtime, and give plenty of affection. I also respect any special instructions, including medications or routines, to keep your pet happy and stress-free while you're away!
“Shelbi was absolutely amazing while we were away for 10 days. She took incredible care of our dogs and our home, kept us updated, and gave us real peace of mind the entire trip. You can tell she genuinely cares about animals and treats them like her own. Coming home to happy dogs and everything in perfect shape made the end of vacation so much easier. We would 100% book with Shelbi again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring Rover sitter.”
“Madeline & Isaiah are so great! They took care of our pups just like their own and were very diligent with their feeding & overall care. Super communicative and trustworthy. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for in home dog sitting or even drop ins! They routinely do both visit types for us and we truly can’t give them enough praises for how well they take care of our fur babies.”
“Ashley was absolutely amazing!!! She was so wonderful with my old man hound dog. There is something about her that animals just love! My cat, who is afraid of basically everyone, immediately went up to her for pets and cuddles!! She was very professional and responsive and sent a lot of updates the whole week. I could not recommend her more!!!”
“Avery does work a full time job so keep that in mind if you have a strict feeding schedule for your dogs which was a bit of a miscommunication on our part. She did give us updates as soon as she got home and cared well for our dogs. Overall, Avery did a good job watching them.”
“This is our second time booking Querhea and she did an amazing job! She gave our dog medication four times a day and cleaned the house. She was very commicative which was so appreciated! We would book her again for sure.”
“Alice provided wonderful care to my dog and 2 cats. She went above and beyond from start to finish. The regular updates gave me complete peace of mind — it was clear our animals were happy, comfortable, and in great hands. She also treated my home with total respect. Everything was exactly as I left it when I returned. You can tell she genuinely loves animals and takes her responsibility seriously. We will absolutely book her again and would recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, attentive, and caring pet sitter.”
“I felt so comfortable leaving my dogs in Ann’s care!! She kept me updated consistently and seemed to really care about my pups!! She also left the house in great condition. Can’t say enough good things about the experience!”
“Alexis is professional, communicative, and caring with any service for your furry family members. As our first Rover sitter in Washington, I was impressed with her extended stay/house sitting over a holiday weekend. She stayed with our Field Gordon Setters, Axel and Rose, for 10 days over Memorial Day weekend since our pups are both in tact and not accepted at most boarding facilities. Our home and pups were well-cared for, especially since Gordons have lots of energy and want a lot of attention. She was also able to administer a second dose of annual worm medicine for the pups along with small wound care, walk the dogs, play ball with them and make sure they had lots of loves! She updated me daily, asked questions when she was unsure and sent some lovely photos. She left our home in good shape, with printed photos and a hand written thank you note. I find hand written notes add to the positive experience and professionalism and added additional rapport. I look forward to booking with Alexis again!”
“J was terrific with our dog, Jackie. They took excellent care of her and sent regular updates and photos. We were so happy to have them stay in our home and not have to board our dog.”
About: Hi! I go by Ollie. I love to care for animals! I have trained a border collie pup that is now 4 years old and I also have 2 other dogs, both rescues. I have lots of experience from volunteering, 4 years kennel tech senior staff, and handling all breeds/sizes/temperaments. I have handled daycare groups of up to 25 dogs and know a lot about dog behaviors. I also take professional photos! I work part time Tuesday-Thursday and can do evenings after 4pm every day of the week. Open weekend availability. Can do overnight Friday-Monday. More open availability with short walks and drop ins Maintaining a comfortable safe environment is top priority. Having 3 dogs and having 4 years in the pet industry teaches you signs and behaviors and different play styles. I care for any pets like my own and provide message photos and check ins and any health concerns. I am also able to work on certain behaviors and try to help in any way I can.
“Keri was absolutely fantastic! She took great care of my home and my cat while I was away. Communication was consistent and thoughtful, with regular updates and photos that gave me total peace of mind. My cat was clearly happy, comfortable, and well cared for when I returned, and my house was in perfect condition. I would highly recommend to anyone looking for a reliable and trustworthy sitter, and I would gladly book them again.”
“Sarah was communicative and kind. She met with us before our trip to see our home and meet our dog, and clearly gave her lots of love while we were gone. We will definitely be using her again!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Richland Hills
My 2dogs/1 cat were in great hands with Michaela. She sent an update and pictures everytime she visited! Them being at home, going to nearby dog park, and playing really helped with their comfort and happiness. I appreciate her attentiveness and had good peace of mind while away. I will be contacting her again for future bookings.
J was awesome. We contacted J last minutes because our normal sitter cancelled. J was willing to stay in our home overnight for 9 days/8 nights. J took awesome care of our two schnauzers, sending us daily pictures and updates. J also took care of our home including the pool. We highly recommend J!
Miranda was exceptional from start to finish. We were away for two weeks and trusted her to care for our 3 dogs, and she exceeded every expectation. Miranda's level of professionalism, consistency, and reliability gave us peace of mind while we were on vacation. Miranda also sent us photos of the dogs every day, which we really appreciated. It was reassuring to see them happy, comfortable, and being so well cared for while we were away. We would book Miranda again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for outstanding care for their pets.
Very dependable, communication was great and she is very nice and responsible. She took great care of my puppy while I was away and spent a good amount of time with him on walks and played a lot. I appreciate Iman and would definitely book again a great sitter! 🐾💛
Natalie was very attentive, trusting and also gave updates consistently through the stay. She also made sure he got lots of play time and walks and followed my instructions of care great. Thank you again for being so caring and a great sitter for my puppy! Definitely would book again to care for Kaine.
Literally the BEST! It was my first time ever getting a sitter for my tortoise, she did amazing with him. She asked questions and went above and beyond for my little guy! She even sent pictures so I could see he was doing well; definitely a 10/10 person and 20/10 service!
Lauren watched Molly for a week and she was wonderful! Molly was so relaxed when we got home and it was a blessing not to have to break her routine. Lauren walked and played with Molly every day. She is kind and thoughtful. We loved having her in our home and will definitely use her again! I recommend Lauren 100 percent.

FAQs for House Sitting - Richland Hills
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Richland Hills 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 4,499 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Richland Hills. 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 Hills 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 Hills 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 Hills 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.

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.
