“Brittany is awesome! Her and her son took such good care of our Finny Boy! Excited that I have her booked in advance for our many upcoming trips as I know our dog and our home will be looked after by a very competent and loving sitter!”
“Stella and Rachel are the BEST! After another sitter cancelled on us last minute, Stella and Rachel saved the day. My normally anxious pup almost immediately relaxed around them during the meet and greet and I knew then he’d be in good hands while we were away. During the stay, I got regular updates and tons of pictures that showed a happy, relaxed pup that got lots of love and attention. We came home to a happy dog and a spotless house. I would absolutely recommend Stella & Rachel to anyone looking for pet care and house sitting. We will definitely be using them again!”
“Stardust deserves a 10 star rating if I could! We were gone for over two weeks and were not worried at all about the care that our dog was receiving in his own home. When we got home he was sharing his love with us and Stardust! She left the house so clean and even washed the bedding she used. I will look for her every time we need a sitter for Reuben!”
“Audrey was very attentive to the little details of caring for my dogs, and she was considerate of what seemed to be the right thing to do. It was reassuring to have her many texts to double check, plus photos of ongoing progress. Will definitely rebook (already had planned on it anyway!).”
“Our cat loved Ron! She is a handful and he did a great job of keeping her busy and happy. A real plus with Ron is that he is with your pet most of the day every day that you are gone.”
“Rachel is fantastic. She took great care of our super sweet giant snuggle pup and our house. She was incredibly prompt in responding to all of our messages, checked in regularly and sent pictures. She went not an extra mile but extra miles to provide a great experience. Thank you for being awesome to Red Cloud and to us Rachel!”
“This was our first time using Rover and we’re very happy with Angela. She provided good care to our older dog while staying at our home. We’ll certainly turn to Angela again!”
“We were very fortunate to have Chene take care of our visiting “granddoggy” while we went away for a few days. Remy can be an anxious little dog, and Chene was very kind and conscientious about helping him feel loved and secure. She came over to meet him and learn all about him before we left so we all felt confident leaving Remy in her care. She also sent a photo or two each day which we really appreciated! Our house was clean and well taken care of as well. Thank you, Chene!”
“Karolina is the best cat sitter we have ever had!! This is our second time working with her and we’re so grateful to have found her. She takes extra special care of our two cats and also leaves our home so clean and tidy during her stays. She sends lovely updates. She has even been able to get our shy cat to come out and play some. We also appreciate that we can be hard to reach when out of town but she’s always on top of things. We highly recommend her services. Thank you again, Karolina!”
“Virginia E. was wonderful. She managed to get our jumpy, excited dog to calm down and take a nap. She sent us a photo of the dog relaxed and taking a nap .I hope that Virginia E. will come back and take care of our dog again in the near future. I know that my dog was in great hands with Virginia. Thanks Virginia E.”
“Mandy was absolutely perfect! Cleo loved her, which was such a relief since Cleo can be particular about new people. Having Mandy there took a huge weight off my shoulders while I was away, and I loved receiving daily photos and updates of Cleo. It was so reassuring to know she was happy and well cared for. On top of that, I came home after a grueling travel day to a freshly cleaned home, which was the best welcome home I could have asked for. I would absolutely book with Mandy again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable sitter.”
“I'm a veterinarian and very glad I found Elisabeth to take care of my old dog at my house recently! She was very communicative, detail-oriented, trustworthy and reliable -- I've already booked her again!”
“Erin was great with our animals, especially our dog who can be nervous with strangers. She was super communicative and provided lots of updates and pictures. Thank you so much!”
“Will did a great job with watching our dog Rosie for 2 weeks! Rosie was happy and calm on our return. Will took Rosie for walks several times a day in town and up in the forest lands. Rosie loved playing in the back yard with Will, too. The house was in good shape and Will took care of watering the garden when needed. We plan on having Will back in the near future!”
“Nikki did a great job! My fur kids were calm and happy when I got home. The pictures she sent showed how comfortable they were with her. She also watered some of my plants and took good care of my home.”
“Very thankful Veronica was able to come back and stay with Kelowna again when we had a last minute trip pop up! Awesome communication, great pics of our pup and we always feel very good knowing Kelowna is in good hands with her when we have to be away.”
About: I have been around animals my whole life. I have been taking care/riding horses since I was 3, have 2 dogs (senior & adult), and I have my own leopard gecko! Animals tend to find my calm and collected demeanor comforting. I am a 2026 graduate and this summer I am working part time at Nonna Luisa’s in downtown Anacortes. I don’t start work until 4 and tend to have all of the morning to myself, so why not fill it with animals! I would create a personal pet plan with the owner to fulfill the pets needs. This could be walking, letting them out, or just keeping them company!
“Katrina was great! She was super sweet to Oliver and left the house super clean! She was incredibly responsive and gave updates on Oliver while we were abroad! I would absolutely book Katrina again!! Thanks for being so kind to Ollie!!”
“You can read my previous review, but Chelsey is just terrific! In fact, she watched our dogs as scheduled for 2 days, but when I needed an extra day (in a hurry) she was able to come on short notice! She's definitely on my list for the future!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Alexander Beach
Edith took such great care of our dog and our house! She was quick to respond when making arrangements. She sent pictures each day of walks or play times, so I knew my dog was having a good time. The house looked great when we came home. I would definitely use her again!
Cherese was great with our high energy dog! Pepper was very content and had obviously gotten a lot of positive attention and exercise while we were away. The house was spotless and sheets were even washed when we returned! Cherese was easy to communicate with and very helpful. We would definitely have her watch Pepper again!
Every time Elizabeth stays with our four dogs, we come home to happy dogs and clean house. This last time, one of our Bernese Mountain Dogs was frightened by fog horns and Elizabeth stayed with her until she calmed down - at 3am in the garage with music playing to obscure the sounds. We trust Elizabeth completely to take care of our furry kids.

FAQs for House Sitting - Alexander Beach
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Alexander Beach on Rover is $53.5 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 802 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Alexander Beach. 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 Alexander Beach 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 Alexander Beach 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 Alexander Beach 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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Alexander Beach. On Rover:
- 97% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
