“Lisa took exceptional care of Mellow—she was attentive to her needs and ensured she remained comfortable throughout. She was also very flexible with our schedule and kept us reassured with regular updates and photos.”
About: I’ve been surrounding myself with animals my whole life—growing up with dogs and various family pets from an early age. Over the past 3 years as an adult, I've taken on independent, hands-on care for a wide variety of animals, focusing heavily on daily routines, specialized husbandry, and creating safe, comfortable environments. I have ample experience in a variety of geckos and non-venomous snakes. Because my focus is entirely on reptile care, fitting boarding into my daily routine is seamless. My schedule is naturally structured around checking enclosure parameters, managing lighting and heating timers, morning and evening misting, and daily spot-cleaning. Because I'm home consistently, your pet's environment is continuously monitored for stable temperatures and humidity, ensuring they experience zero disruptions to their routine. When boarding reptiles and amphibians in my home, safety, proper parameters, and minimal stress are my top priorities. Guest animals stay in a dedicated, quiet space away from high-traffic household noise and potential hazards. I ensure all enclosures are plugged into reliable digital thermostats, with consistent lighting schedules. Daily care includes monitoring digital temperature and humidity gauges, morning and evening misting, refreshing clean water, spot-cleaning substrate, and feeding according to your exact schedule (including live feeders or specific frozen/thawed prey). I practice strict hand sanitation between enclosures to maintain total bio-security for every guest.
“Mariah was amazing! She responded very quickly when we requested a booking. She was super kind and helped me navigate having my kitties come to her home as I had never used this service before. She kept me posted throughout the day and even sent pictures. My kitties felt right at home with her and they loved all the attention from her little girls 💖Thanks for taking good care of our babies! We will definitely request Mariah again when we travel.”
“Melina is a great pet sitter. She is reliable, and she does an excellent job taking care of my cats. I feel relaxed when I’m gone because I know my cats are in good hands. I highly recommend her.”
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.
“Alana was great! She took great care of our kitty while we were out of town and was very communicative which made us feel much more comfortable about leaving our cat at home. We will definitely use her services again in the future!”
“Lacy cared for our three young cats for five days and four nights. She exceeded every expectation I had (and even my hopes!) in every possible way. She is truly AMAZING. Two days before an important family trip, our previous house/kitty sitter canceled. Yikes! Lacy responded to my booking request immediately and was able to visit the very next day. Her warm, friendly demeanor was instantly reassuring, and I knew she would be a great match for our family. Her communication is EXCELLENT. Lacy sent frequent updates every day, complete with photos, videos, and detailed notes about each kitty. Whenever I had a question or realized I’d forgotten something, she replied within minutes. And when she had a question while I was unreachable (mid-flight), she handled the situation with great judgment. I can’t express how much peace of mind this gave me. When we got home, our house was cleaner than we had left it — she even ran the dishwasher. Once again, she went above and beyond. Lacy also left a thoughtful gift and a detailed “report card” for each kitten. Her notes about their behaviors, preferences, and little quirks were spot-on. It was clear she spent real time with them and genuinely understood their personalities. The next day, when Lacy came by to return the house key, all three cats greeted her with love and affection — flopping at her feet, weaving around her legs, and chittering for attention. Honestly, I think that’s the best compliment of all. If you’re looking for a reliable, responsible, and incredibly compassionate caregiver, Lacy is my first choice. A million stars!”
About: I’ve been working with dogs my whole life, I fostered before it was a huge thing from the shelter. I volunteered at the shelter for over 10 years. I frequently watch my friends animals as well, up to 5 at a time including cats. I work full time but work 10-7 so I can easily come before or after work, and can easily pop in during my lunch too during the week if needed. I love all dogs, none spook me. I just want to give them some attention so they don’t feel lonely. I am okay with walking and crating dogs or whatever the protocol is you are okay with!
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. I will follow your instructions and will follow the routine of your animal. Can go for walk or play anytime. Will be fed when the time is right.
About: My family has owned dogs as big and energetic as Dalmatians and as small and laid back as mini poodle mixes— I’m really comfortable with all types of dogs. I know some look scary on the outside but have hearts of gold! I also have experience taking care of reactive/anxious type dogs and know the common triggers to avoid. I have a good sense of humor and just love dogs! I’m home from college for the summer and other than a few online classes, have a really open schedule. I don’t do walks on Sundays, but other than that I’m free! I take cues from the pet on how to proceed— if they are shy I will give them time to warm up to me before leashing and walking, or if they are excited and willing, I am too!
About: I have always owned a pet! I’ve had two dogs and one cat during my lifetime. I love animals, and I think this would be the perfect job for me! I am a full time college student with a part time job, so I can only work weekends, but I am free during Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays every week. I live at the pet friendly Benjamin Lofts apartments, a block away from EWU. We will go on walks/potty breaks every couple hours! I offer all services.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - West Richland
Perrin was excellent! It was her first time caring for our kitties and she got along well with them and took care of all their needs perfectly. She was timely, kept things clean and tidy, and when we returned home the kitties were their usual happy selves. Full marks! We will gladly use Perrin again!
Lisa took great care of my kitties! I came home to a happy and healthy gang. She took care of the little things too like watering plants and bringing packages in the house. I’m really happy with everything about the way she took care of my place. I would not hesitate to trust her with my gang again!

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
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 .
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 , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
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 .

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.
