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.

“Genna is amazing. She has looked after our cat multiple times now and is dependable, attentive, and clearly loves animals. Our cat immediately took to her. She keeps us updated daily and posts plenty of pics. We are grateful for Genna!”
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.
“Shannon was wonderful! She took care of our boys’ needs and, based on photos she shared with us, they loved her visits! Knowing they were well taken care of made our vacation away so much more relaxing.”
“Lacy is a stellar sitter! She went above and beyond and took wonderful care of my boys. She even left the cutest report card for my kitties. Absolutely love her! Will be booking with her again.”
“Kirk is clearly good with dogs. He showed up as scheduled ( we’ve had two prior booking where the sitter no showed!!). Appreciated the photos he took and the details about how our dogs were doing. He’ll be staying at our house in the future! Thanks Kirk!!”
About: Hello I am Maia You wanna head out on a summer vacation? I’m a college student happy to be home! I have been caring for animals since I can remember, anything from puppies to turtles. If you need a reliable sitter or pet walker let me know! Like I said before I’m a college student home for the summer. I’m available all summer and would love to give your pets all the love and attention that they absolutely deserve. I have been pet sitting for several years and I have the routine down pat. I have cared for a wide variety of animals including reactive dogs, fearful animals, and some quirky creatures. Whatever your pets need I will make it happen
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.
About: Growing up, my family had 5 dogs. My mom made it a priority to teach us kids about loving and caring for animals. I have been scooping dog poop and kitty litter my whole life and I have watched my neighbors/friends pets. My siblings and I are big animal lovers to this day, and I plan to get dogs and cats after graduating medical school, when I will have a stable job and I can provide what they deserve. Until then, I take great joy in spending time with pets! I currently live in Richland for school and your money will be going completely towards my education. Thank you so much for reading and considering me! My schedule is somewhat flexible with school. I am starting my clinical rotations this year, so my schedule is highly variable and I have different weekdays off each week. I have my general availability listed on my calendar, but please reach out to me with specific timing and requests and I will either commit or offer alternative times outside of my rotation schedule. I would love to spend my time with your furry friend! I love to be outside in every capacity: hiking, walking, going to the park or the beach. These activities are always more joyful with a pet companion. As a medical student, trust is so important to my future work. I know that rapport needs to be established before anyone feels safe around you, and pets are no different. I will get to know your pet's needs, and make sure they are safe and comfortable while you are away. I am a respectful, professional, and courteous house guest, and I would be so grateful for the opportunity to care for your pets.
“David has been amazing with my little geriatric River. I was terrified to leave him for five weeks but David jumped right in and played with him, walked him, gave him his medicine and food. All the pictures showed River having fun playing with his toys and going for walks. I’m soo thankful and grateful for his loving care of my beloved. I will use him again and highly recommend him.”
About: I have had dogs, cats and parrots in my home and life since I was 14. I have watched them be born and leave this life. Nursed them when they were sick and played like crazy when it is play time. Everywhere I go they know I love them and that fun is gauguaranteed. I relocated back to Seattle about a year ago now. In my family home that is a dogs paradise. 1/4 acre of fenced yard in Columbia City with a side yard for escapers and little ones. I grew up with a great dane and my last old man was a chewahwah mix and so is my new baby. My Mom also has a puppy husky mix so play time is covered. All dogs are good as far as I am concerned some just need a little more. I know how to be pack leader and they know I mean business. Don't worry about your fur baby with me we will have fun and lots of love and treats. I currently am working on home renovations for my Mom. I am available currently for long term dog sitting, day visits or short term stays. There is a fully fenced yard new last year. If you have a climber we should talk. We eat breakfast and have love time on the bed. I try and keep them on a routine of love and play.
“Jasai got along extremely well with Thaddeus. There was great communication throughout the week so it really put my mind at ease, also she was very prompt with a response whenever I had a question. Will definitely be rebooking Jasai”
About: My name is Kellen and I live with my wife, daughter and our two puppies, Mya and Dexter. Dexter is an English Mastiff/German Shepard mix and Mya is a Black Lab/Husky mix. They love to lounge around all day and go on adventures with the family!!! Eating seems to be their primary motivation in life. 🤣 I have had many puppies in my life and have loved each one with my whole heart. In the past I have also had ferrets, for about 8 years when I was in college. I work during the week from 5am-4pm and am free all weekends and weeknights after 4pm. I have experience with all different types, sizes and temperaments of dogs. My wife is home full time so if your puppy is staying with us during the week there will always be someone with them at all times. Dexter is not very keen on any dog bigger than his sister and a meet and greet to determine if he would be ok with a big dog would be advised. Mya loves all dogs and loves to play play play! Our little girls also adores dogs and is very gentle and nice with ours, much to our surprise as we thought she may pound on them or pull and poke at them, but she’s so sweet and gentle when petting and talking (babbling) to them. We go on frequent walks and potty breaks with our puppies and they would love some company for those trips! Any other questions you may have, don’t hesitate to ask! I am home during the day and have two pups of my own, pet care happens all day every day in our house that’s for sure 😂 I have a fenced yard and two other pups to have fun with. Two kids will expend any extra energy that your pups may have 🤣

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!!
Marsha did a wonderful job during her one-hour drop-in visit with our dog. She arrived right on time and immediately demonstrated how comfortable and experienced she is with animals. Our dog was a little excited and barking when she first arrived, but Marsha remained calm, confident, and patient, quickly helping our dog settle down and feel comfortable. Throughout the visit, she kept us updated with pictures, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. It was clear from the photos that our dog was happy, relaxed, and enjoying the visit. Marsha’s professionalism and genuine connection with animals really stood out. We would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter.
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!

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
