“Marsha was fantastic! She spent quality time with our two golden retrievers and made sure they were well taken care of while we were gone. She sent updates and pictures which were very nice and the dogs always look happy. I would definitely use her again.”

“Loved working with Kaylee. Our dog can be destructive when we’re gone and she spent lots of time loving on him. She sent pictures and texts so we could see how it was going. She asked questions if she needed more info on Joey’s routines. And she remembered to water the plants and bring in the mail and the garbage cans. Definitely recommend!”

“Lisa was the perfect fit for our Mabel Mae. She stayed in our home and cared for Mabel and took care of our house for two weeks. Lisa was great at sending pics of Mabel and communicating daily. I could see how happy Mabel was in the pics she sent. Everything was in perfect order when we got home. It was such a blessing to leave and not worry about Mabel and to come home to a happy pup! I would highly recommend Lisa!”

“Sariah came and stayed with our two older dogs for several days. Our shepherd has heart issues, so we wanted to find someone who would know how to handle multiple medications, as well as observe him for behavioral changes that might signal a change in his condition. We hit the jackpot with Sariah. She has lived a lifetime of caring for pets with much more complicated medical issues than what we were asking of her. She came before the booking to meet with us and our dogs, and I knew immediately that they would be in good hands. We had regular check-in's the first couple of days, and she was quick to respond to each question via text. 10/10 would recommend!”

“Rachel was absolutely wonderful! She came for a meet and greet with dog, Lyra and Lyra loved her. She was very communicative and sent pictures every day. Highly recommend.”

“Levi was incredible & went above and beyond!! My husband and I flew home for the holidays and got trapped at the airport for two days. Levi adjusted his plans to ensure Pax had someone to watch him. If you need a sitter, look no further! Levi will care for your pet as if they are his own! ❤️”

“This is our second time using Cesilia and we will definitely use her again! She is so friendly, and so communicative. We felt so confident leaving our dogs with her, and we came home to happy dogs and a spotless home. She is highly recommended!”

“Paulina was above and beyond that I could have asked for. Constant updates and pictures, taking those extra steps to even tidy up and clean the messy floor. It was a blessing to know my babies were taken care of and a huge relief to come home and know everyone and everything was in good shape. Will absolutely ask for her help in future trips and needs. She is a wonderful person and sitter.”

“Alyssa did a great job caring for our 2 cats and 3 dogs. We appreciated the pictures she sent and her prompt responses to any questions. We would definitely trust Alyssa with our pets again.”

“We've had Sophie watch our three girls twice and she is the BEST. One of our girls has a spine disease and doesn't have control of her entire bottom half. Sophie did amazing with expressing her, keeping her clean, and giving the extra attention she needed. Plus we have a one year old pup that loves creating chaos and has way too much energy at all times. Thank you for all your help Sophie!”

Lisa was amazing! We have a very anxious bulldog with severe separation anxiety. Lisa spent so much time with him, playing and just being present which made him feel secure. I appreciate the frequent pics and updates while we were away! Thank you so much for loving our meatball!

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 West Richland 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 West Richland 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 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!
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.
