About: Hi! I'm a dedicated pet sitter with five years of experience caring for pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I've always loved animals, and being able to care for them has been one of the most rewarding parts of my life. I know how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family members, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, belly rubs, or simply having someone nearby to keep them company, I'm happy to provide the care and attention they need. I'm reliable, patient, and committed to keeping your pets happy, safe, and comfortable while you're away. My goal is to make sure both you and your pet feel at ease, so you can enjoy your time away knowing they're in caring hands. I work full-time with a consistent, fixed schedule, which allows me to plan pet care visits reliably. Because my work hours don't change, I can offer dependable availability before and after work, as well as evenings, weekends, and holidays with advance notice. This predictable schedule helps me provide consistent, attentive care while ensuring every pet gets the time, love, and attention they deserve. I'm happy to discuss my availability to make sure it's a great fit for your pet's needs. When caring for pets in their own home, I do my best to keep their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I follow your instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications, and any special care your pet may need. I make sure they receive plenty of love, attention, and companionship while you're away, and I always respect your home by keeping it clean and secure. I know how important it is to have someone you can trust, so I treat both your pets and your home with the same care and respect I would my own. My goal is for you to return home to a happy, comfortable pet and the peace of mind that they were well cared for.

About: Hello, Not sure how to genuinely list my experience as it spans a lifetime of owning and caring for dogs and cats. If I were to assign a number without aging myself... it would be about a decade of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all kinds. :) Professionally, I worked for Kadlec Regional Medical Center for 12 years in nutrition services. In 2022, I left my role to be at home with our youngest child, and now that child is about to start school. Now I'm reentering into the workforce aligning with a passion and skill of mine. In addition to specifically supporting our household these past three years, I have also provided part time pet sitting, dog walking, bathing, and light grooming for friends and family. I believe every pet deserves patience, kindness, and personalized care. Whether you're booking a stop by visit, a walk, or short stay, my goal is to make sure your dog feels comfortable, safe, and well cared for while you're away. Reliability and communication are especially important to me. I understand how much trust goes into leaving your pet in someone else's care, so I make it a priority to be dependable, follow routines closely, respond, and provide updates so you can have peace of mind. I genuinely care about the well-being of both pets and their owners, and I look forward to building trusted relationships with the families I serve. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine. I keep my schedule flexible for walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting, and I make it a priority to be dependable and on time. I enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they receive the attention, exercise, and care they need while their owners are away. When caring for pets in a client's home, I respect their routines and follow all instructions closely to help pets feel comfortable and secure. I pay attention to feeding schedules, exercise needs, medications if needed, and any specific preferences. I prioritize safety, clear communication, and providing a calm, caring environment where pets can feel relaxed while their owners are away.
About: New to Rover, but still as familiar with dogs and cats as ever! I’ve taken care of dogs and cats since 12 years old. I have a deep love for animals and find them to be emotional beings. I just had my baby boy at the end of February & I’m looking to gain a little income dog sitting. Hoping to connect with dogs that are well-behaved and acclimated to being around a small child :) I intend to provide comfort and security for each and every pet. I am greatly considerate of an animals wants and needs, making them feel safe.
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.
About: I have had dogs in my home for the majority of my life and loved every minute of it. After recently losing our girl to old age I’ve been missing time with fur babies. They really are the best! I’ve joined Rover to love on other fur babies and get some steps in all at the same time! I currently work as a medical device rep so my schedule is extremely variable and based on if I have cases scheduled or not. I have found myself working much less than I’m used to and because of that I’m looking to pick up a new hobby/side hustle as I enjoy keeping myself busy. I would prefer to meet any fur babies for the first time with the owner present. This is very important to me. I want to feel comfortable with your dog and build some trust. My biggest priority is to keep myself and your dog safe.
“Kelly is such a wonderful sitter! My sitter fell through last minute and she responded promptly and completed my request beyond what was expected of her. I’d definitely hire her again!”
About: I've kettle trained puppy's. On many occasions I would have to hear a pup cry all night long. I've taught them to wait until going outside to poo. I can also say that I have dealt with dogs that pee out of excitement, fear, etc. I only had some brief experience with a senior dog which was my older sisters dog. I have my own dog and have picked up grooming skills. I want to have a flexible schedule because I am planning to go back to school. I also love animals and do not find it hard to take care of them. This job would allow me to fit two things I love into my life with minimal problem. At home I have a small dog who is 2 years old. He still has a puppy mindset and loves to go on walks. I groom him every other day. I cut his nails even when he dislikes it and I bathe him. Every client is different, every animal is different. I would like to communicate what they want from me and what I can do for them. With every client I can assure I will do my best to take care of their beloved animal(s).
About: What sets me apart is the genuine love, patience, and attention I give every pet. I understand that leaving your furry family member with someone new can be stressful, so I work hard to make both you and your pet feel comfortable and confident. I believe every animal has their own personality and routine, and I take the time to get to know what makes them happiest. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles on the couch, or simply having someone nearby, I’m happy to provide the care they need. I’m comfortable caring for puppies who need extra patience, consistency, and potty breaks, as well as senior pets who may require a slower pace, medication reminders, or extra comfort and attention. I’ll always treat your pets as if they were my own, providing lots of love, updates, and photos so you can enjoy peace of mind while you’re away. My goal is to create a safe, fun, and loving environment where your pet feels happy, secure, and well cared for. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide consistent care, whether that’s walks, feeding, playtime, potty breaks, or simply keeping pets company. I make it a priority to stick to each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible so they feel comfortable and secure while their owners are away. I believe pets thrive on consistency, attention, and love, so I always make time to ensure they receive the care they deserve. Whether it’s a quick drop-in visit, multiple visits throughout the day, or overnight care, I’m committed to making every pet feel safe, happy, and well cared for. client’s home, my priority is making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, including feeding schedules, walks, potty breaks, playtime, medications (if needed), and any special instructions from their owner. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect both the pet’s routine and the owner’s home. I make sure pets receive plenty of attention, exercise, affection, fresh water, and clean living spaces while keeping owners updated with photos and messages so they know their pet is doing well. If caring for pets in my home, I provide a clean, calm, and pet-friendly environment where they can relax, play, and feel like part of the family. I closely supervise pets, ensure they always have access to fresh water, and give them plenty of exercise, enrichment, and affection throughout their stay. My goal is to make every pet feel happy, comfortable, and cared for while giving owners peace of mind that their furry family member is in loving and reliable hands.
About: Dogs have always brought me a lot of happiness, and that's why I love to help take care of them. Until recently, I have always had a dog to take care of in my life, and now I'd love to look after yours! :) Helping dogs exercise, making sure they are loved, clean and happy are very important to me. Dogs put so much good into this world, so they deserve all the love we can possibly give them! Also I love cats! Currently this is my only job so I have all the time to spend with your furry friends! I am available all day throughout the week. Keeping on careful eye on your pet is very important to me! Also I genuinely enjoy the company of animals so there will be lots of hanging out, playing & potty breaks. I keep my space very clean & pet friendly.
“Cesilia was great with Loki & Raider! When Cesilia came by for the meet & greet, the dogs seemed to like her right away. Loki enjoyed some playtime with his new stuffy during the drop ins. Raider is always shy around new people, but I think she will warm up to Cesilia with a few more drop ins and upcoming housesitting.”

About: I am from Tri Cities and have a passion for animals! I have 2 cats and two dachshunds of my own. I have watched a few of my friends dogs in the past, ranging different sizes. I would love to take your dog(s) for a walk! I currently work full time Mon- Fri, with time available after work or on weekends through the day. Would love to incorporate more animals in to my life since I cannot adopt anymore! We have a big house and fenced yard for animals to enjoy. Both of my cats are indoors and escape artists, so I am used to being very careful and attentive. I understand it is nerve wracking to have someone else watch over your pets and hope that they don’t escape their sight. I promise to do my very best to provide an attentive, loving, friendly approach with your animals. Both of my dogs are Dachsunds, meaning I am used to the most stubborn dog on the planet. I also understand the importance of home modifications for them to live happily and safely with us; so rest assured that I can relate to specific requests and attention to detail when caring for your babies.
About: I am a patient, and enjoy learning new pet characteristics :) I like interacting with them making sure they stay active and have fun with me. Going to college I am free Friday-Sunday! I will use the $$ towards college :) thank you! I am looking forward to hanging out and taking care of new fur babies ! Super excited I’ll be driving to you and would love to meet your fur baby. I enjoy keeping them active while they are with me. Safety is key for me

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - West Richland
Shelley was a fantastic dog sitter for our three pups! She was punctual, gave updates on how the dogs were doing, and went above and beyond caring for them. She even helped with things I didn’t ask for - namely taking in our packages and cleaning up pup messes and cleaning up our older dog who was having some tummy issues. She also agreed to help feed our lizards when forgot to refill their auto feeder. I would absolutely ask Shelley to watch our pets again! Thank you!!
Kirk did a fantastic job. Left me feeling he had everything in order and I was able to spend my time away knowing everything I asked was being done and both dogs were well taken care of. I’m so happy with his service and reliability I will definitely use him in the future!

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 West Richland 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!
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.

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.
