“I quite literally could not say enough wonderful things about my experience using Kristen to housesit for me and my fur babies while I was out of town. I am so particular about who I let watch them when I am gone and she exceeded ALL expectations.”
“Kyle took outstanding care of Archie and Rhea (and kept a watchful eye on our home) while we were on vacation. He asked thoughtful questions and sent regular updates and photos, which gave us great peace of mind. When we returned, both pets were happy, healthy, and clearly well-adjusted. Archie and Rhea absolutely adore Kyle—I wouldn’t hesitate to book him again for future trips.”
“Kylie was amazing! She went above and beyond grabbing my mail, taking care of my 2 guinea pigs and even washing my dishes. She also sent daily pics to me! Can't wait to have her stay with my boys in May too!!”
About: I am Fear Free certified, CPR and First Aid certified, and I am a previous doggie daycare worker that has had at least 2 dogs in my home at all times since I was born! I have a super sweet Lab Shepard mix named Comet, and a pittie named Daisy! I have been trained on doggie social cues and behaviors using Pack pro and fear free and like to say I “speak dog”. I am happy to accommodate for your furry friend in any way you need! I’m happy to give them all the love and treats, as well as take them on walks! The most important thing in my life is dogs. I’m that friend that points out dogs in public and always talks to doggies when I can! I work part time currently, so I am happy to snag a visit with your furry friend when I can! I love to make time for pups. I can not do care in my home, but I am happy to stay with your pet! I believe strongly in approaching pets in a calm and careful fear free manner.
About: I love every animal big or small. I have taken care of friends and family pets for several years and I absolutely love it! I just want everyone to have a peace of mind knowing their fur babies are being loved and taken care of. I work full time and can go to your pets before and after work. If I stay in you're home I will be there in the mornings and at night so your pet will not be alone. Unfortunately I will not be able to travel more then 20 or 25 mins away from my full time job. If you need to cancel I will need to charge a cancellation fee depending on the situation or depending on how close the booking is. I care for my pets like I would a child. I make sure they always have plenty of food, water and outside time. Also plenty of beds/bankets around for them to lay in as like. Plenty of treats and cuddle time as well. I will take of any pet like they are my own.
About: It seems as if I've always had a cat or dog or both since I was in grade school. At this time I have many kitties and one dog. Some of my kitties are foster kitties. Some I can pet and others I enjoy from a distance. I have 1 dog named Frannie. She is possibly a Rottweiler shepherd mix. In the past I grew up with a standard poodle. I have had a shepherd mix, another Rottweiler mix and a pit mix. I have seen all my dogs and cats thru to the rainbow bridge. I have fostered a litter of labrador puppies. That was fun! I currently help my mom with her pug mix named Chloe. I am currently working part time at a pre-school. I have Mondays, weekends, holidays and the summers off. I work until noon Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Fridays until 3pm I would need to make sure your pets are cared for before I go to work @7:15am. I have a neighbor who helps me let my dog out while I'm at work, so I would be free after work to check on your animal(s). I would then need to come back to my house and take care of my animals and then go back to check on yours. I could do that as often as needed and then longer thru the night. I anticipate every situation to be different so depending on the need. I would be able to keep kitties in my spare bedroom. I have a large screen door to put in front of the bedroom door to keep them separate from my animals if needed. I am flexible to what the needs may be
About: When I was born, a dog was there. My dog. Moses. I grew up with him until we were both 13 and he passed away in his sleep in my bedroom. I have had every pet since. More losses and grief, but I wouldn’t trade any memory away. Now, here I am. Ready to create more memories to accompany the old ones. All because of you, Moses. 👑 I work full-time, Monday through Friday between 8 am and 5 pm. But outside the of those hours… tell your furry friend to buckle up cause he’s/she’s gonna have trouble keeping up with all the fluffy awesomeness headed his/her way! (Unless he/she just wants to rest, of course.) We can go through any information prior to my visit, but rest assured that I am a problem solver. Trust me, I have kids. I’ll find a way through any storm and valley, and you’ll keep your peace and joy.
“Darien was awesome! Responded quickly when I would message her. She was great with our pups while we were gone for a long weekend. Sent us pics and communicated often. Definitely will use her again!”
“Jasmin is a dream pet sitter. She took excellent care of our pups and was extremely courteous and respectful staying in our house, helping out in various ways. You can tell how much she loves dogs and that she is a kind and thoughtful person. There is no question we will book with her again if she is available but I worry she will quickly become the most popular pet sitter on Rover.”

About: I’m not sure that there’s one specific thing that would set me apart from other caregivers however, my best buddy Trouble crossed the rainbow bridge in February. Trouble was a 13 year old Weimaraner that my daughters & I rescued during Covid. Currently, Im not ready to be a dog mom just yet but I am ready to fill the empty space in my heart! I miss having a fur baby to walk with & playing in the yard. I have experience with large breeds , rescues, and seniors. I do work a full-time job Monday through Friday but I work a hybrid schedule & on the weekends I am an early riser so I could start as early as 5 AM. I am soon to be an empty nester and recently lost my fur baby. I am looking to keep busy with some new free time! In my clients home, I will care for their animals just as they do & keeping with their routine. If their dog needs belly rubs , quiet time, snuggling time & playing with & walking, I will do it all!
“Taylor was absolutely incredible and gave us the best thing possible while we were out of town: peace of mind. She is a kind, respectful, and easy to talk to! She kept in open communication every step of the way. She did not complain when there was an alarm issue on her last night here and she took care of our home as if it was her own. She was incredible with our sweet pup June and our two skittish bunnies. Taylor provided feedback about our animals during our trip and also sent updates and photos. June requires daily medication and a patient leader and Taylor handled her just as we would! Our house was in the same condition as when we left it and she took care of everything we asked and followed any directions or requests without issue. We really enjoyed meeting her and had utter peace of mind the moment we left. We would recommend Taylor to anyone and we definitely plan on reaching out to her for future trips and travel. June, Jackie, and Jerry loved her!”
“Emmalee housesat and took care of our two cats while we were out of town for a weekend. One cat is very anxious around new people, but Emmalee sent a picture of her doing one of her tricks the very first night, so I knew our girl had already warmed up to her. We came home to happy cats and a clean home. We would definitely use Emmalee again.”

FAQs for House Sitting - Richville
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 488 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Richville. 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 Richville 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 Richville 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 Richville 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.
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.
