“Holly was an amazing sitter! We were initially a little nervous because our dogs have very distinct personalities and needs—especially our two senior pups—but Holly made us feel completely at ease from the start. She sent consistent updates with a full set of pictures at every visit that we grew to look forward to while we were away, which reassured us that everyone was doing great. The dogs were clearly getting plenty of time to eat, play, and just be themselves, and they warmed up to her right away—which doesn’t always happen! Holly was friendly, easy to work with, and followed all of our care instructions to a T. She also left the house exactly how we left it, which we really appreciated. We’ll absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, communicative, and compassionate sitter!”

About: I am a well experienced vet nurse now in undergrad with high hopes for med school! I've been a dog trainer all the way up to ICU nurse. I can handle most any situation so you can leave your home and your babies comfortably with me! I'm going to school online on a self paced basis so pet care is a perfect fit for me and my schedule. My 86 year old neighbor loves my 1 year old miniature poodle Boseman and loves her little farm so long stays away are okay with the both of us. My poodle Boseman has free range of my place but is also fully kennel trained if need be (used when I worked long hospital hours). He gets walks around our pond or goes next door with my neighbor's 50+ chickens, 2 cats, and 3 dogs. He gets fed twice a day and plenty of treats (super high metabolism lol).

“Michelle did an amazing job pet sitting/housesitting while we were gone for about 16 days. She would check in with us and send us pictures and videos and made us feel very reassured while we were gone. Even handled the chaos well when things went wrong with our water pump. Very kind and dependable and I would definitely recommend her!”

She took amazing care of our place as well (pretty sure she left the house cleaner than we did!) We have already booked her for a second time and our girls are looking forward to seeing her again!”

About: I offer dog walking, drop-ins, and house sitting. I can help with walks, potty breaks, feeding, fresh water, playtime, and lots of attention. I’ll follow your pet’s normal routine and any instructions you leave. I’ve been around animals my whole life. I grew up around all kinds of dogs and cats, including Rhodesian Ridgebacks, small dogs, and everything in between. I have a German Shepherd named Kenya, plus cats and kittens, so taking care of animals is something I’m used to. My schedule is pretty open, so I have some flexibility with availability. I’m not the type to rush in and out. I want your pet to feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while you’re away. Pet care is already a big part of my daily routine. I care for my German Shepherd, Kenya, along with my cats and kittens, so I’m used to daily feeding, walks, playtime, potty breaks, cleaning, and giving each animal plenty of attention. No matter where I’m caring for your pet, my goal is for them to feel safe, comfortable, and loved.I keep up with their usual feeding, potty, walking, play, and rest schedule while giving them plenty of attention along the way. I also pay attention to the little things—how they communicate, what makes them comfortable, and what they’re used to at home. Most importantly, I respect the pet parent’s instructions and treat every animal as an individual.

About: With a Yorkie and Pomeranian in my family, I have been well equipped to take care of any pup! I love these furry guys and understand how important it is to have quality time away with quality care equipped for our little guys. I am currently a student at the University of Houston and am incorporating pet care into my schedule. I truly make time to make sure my clients pets are cared for. My Mondays-Friday afternoons are relatively free but please reach out and I can be flexible! In my own home, we have a free space for our dogs but keep any dangerous food or objects out of site as they have very sensitive stomachs. Remaining attentive with my little guys is very important as they get into trouble when they are not in sight. I am receptive & understanding to any requests needed for any home or service.

About: I've learned some fine dog care and some simple basic training before. Especially nursing, I will bathe the dog frequently, groom the dog, clean the ear canal, and clean the oral and nasal cavity. Take your pet out for a walk, go to the park to play with your pet, and build a good relationship with your pet. This way I can incorporate pet care well into my daily and weekly routine. I will always give your dog some delicate care at home. For example, I will often bathe the dog, groom the dog, clean the ear canal, and clean the mouth and nose.

FAQs for House Sitting - Richwood

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of November 2026, there are 261 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Richwood. 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 Richwood 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 Richwood 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 Richwood 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Richwood. On Rover:

  • 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 93% 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.
