“Peggy was wonderful! She was so sweet and patient with our little goofballs. Both dogs and the house were very well cared for. We would definitely recommend Peggy to others and will book her again for sure👍🏻👍🏻”
“Kaylan was great! Our 4 dogs can be a lot so I was very nervous leaving them with someone outside of family. Kaylan did a meet and greet which I appreciated. While gone, she sent pics and updates, which I loved. It made our vacation more enjoyable knowing we didn’t have to worry. Not only did she take care of our babies but she also treated our home as her own. I highly recommend her and would happily use her again.”
About: My name is Haylee. I have had a love for animals all my life, ever since I got my first cat when I was six. I have pet-sitted and owned many pets over the years and I appreciate them all so much. I have experience with cats, dogs, rabbits, birds, and reptiles. I am currently in long distance college classes, so I am able to come visit during the day. I am freely available to visit during work hours and take care of your pet. I care for the pet in the way laid out in your instructions! Making sure they walk and get their medicine and play as needed. I don't feed or give any snacks not expressly allowed by the owner!
“Sarah did a wonderful job caring for our two terriers! They considered her part of the pack right away. She followed their regular routines feeding and walking them twice a day. She even gave our elderly dog medication as needed. When we arrived back home, the house was spotless and the dogs’ tails were wagging. I highly recommend Sarah as a pet sitter!”
“Cady was seriously so amazing!!! She took time to come meet us beforehand and give my old chihuahua time to warm up to her. He is very scared of new people and she was so patient and kind with him, letting him approach heron his own time. She was very attentive with both the house information and details about our dog. She asked questions and communicated really well with me the entire time we were gone. She even sent adorable pictures! Not to mention she kept our house perfectly clean, as if no one was even there while we were gone! I 100% will refer my friends to Cady and we will definitely rebook in the future. Thank you, Cady!”
“Yvette took excellent care of Bailey. He is 15 and not feeling his best; yet, she was there for him all the time she watched him while we were at a son’s wedding. Anyone who is looking for the best care for your pet, you can’t go wrong with Yvette.”

“I highly recommend Marley! She communicated very well throughout the entire stay and was reliable and respectful of my home. She took excellent care of my pet, followed all of my instructions. And sent many pictures updating me on my pet.”
“Ann was absolutely incredible! Our English Bulldogs can be a bit high-maintenance, but she took exceptional care of them. She stayed in constant communication while we were away, sending daily updates, photos, and videos. Seeing how much fun they were having made it so much easier for us to relax on our trip. She even went above and beyond by helping prepare our home for the winter storm that hit while we were gone. Ann was truly a blessing, and our boys already can't wait to see her again 😊”
About: Since I was a young child I have had cats and dogs galore to watch since I was homeschooled. I also was paid to watch my grandparents 10 dogs and numerous catsl I myself have 2 beautiful cats named Binks and Yoda. I have always loved animals and will always keep your pet active! I am currently going to school at Tulsa welding school but I’ll only need 2 days out of the week to go to school at night which gives me plenty of time to keep your pets occupied! I always keep doors closed to places that might be harmful to your pet. And I will always follow your instructions to the letter because I understand that you have rules set in place for your pets. I also am really good at knowing when a pet is going to do something they’re not supposed to do and stop them accordingly.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Richland Hills
It’s a great feeling to know that our doodles have the very best care of when we go out of town. Jessy and Chase sent pictures daily and shared updates. We feel like they truly care for our dogs and are responsible and responsive. They are our #1 choice for dog sitters because of their awesomeness!!
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.
Querhea was absolutely amazing! After having a few bad experiences with other sitters in the past, I was naturally a bit anxious, but she completely put my mind at ease. Her communication was incredible, and she regularly sent picture updates of my dogs, which I loved. Knowing my pups were safe, happy, and in good hands made all the difference. I will definitely be booking with her again!
Sarah was AMAZING with Rucker. She treated him like her own. Sent pics, videos and updates multiple times a day. Took great care of our house and I felt completely at ease while on vacation with my family. It’s so hard leaving your pet but with Sarah he was happy and comfortable. Definitely will use Sarah again 😊
We couldn’t speak higher of Sherice! She is just such a dream. We have an anxious dog and he is happiest with her because of her calm energy, and the diligent exercise and play she gives him. We come home and he is so at peace which is more than we could ask for. We love her!
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.
Melissa was absolutely fantastic. She was very punctual, attentive and caring. She communicated very well about Chacha’s general well being and eating habits. Melissa treated Chacha as her own, allowing me to get away without worrying about how Chacha was doing. I would recommend Melissa to anyone and will use her again in the future.

FAQs for House Sitting - Richland Hills
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Richland Hills on Rover is $34.16 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 4,639 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.
