“Tabutha was wonderful with my animals and my home while I was gone. I came back to happy relaxed dogs and alpacas and a clean, tidy house. My foster dog has very high anxiety and she bonded with Tabutha in just a day or so. I will definitely ask Tabutha to house sit for me again.”
“Molly took extremely good care of our 3 senior dogs and our home for our 2 week trip. Our dogs immediately took to Molly as she is kind and friendly. She followed our feeding and medication schedule and all of our dogs take medication 2 times a day so it’s a little tricky. She sent pictures and messages to check in with us, which was so nice since we missed our dogs so much. Our house was left in perfect condition, super clean and tidy. I would recommend Molly without hesitation to care for your pets.”
“Brad did a great job managing our large pack! And he was very patient as I learned how to use Rover and the app for our bookings. We loved seeing the videos and photos of all our fur kids having a great time while we were away, and definitely recommend Brad for other pet parents!”
“Tara was really wonderful! When I first met her I could tell she really loves dogs and would take very good care of our pups while we’re were gone for an overnight trip. So happy I found her and I look forward to trusting her with our house and pups again in the future.”
About: I grew up in a home with dogs, and have cared for my own as well as others. I have experience with large breeds such as Great Pyrenees and German Shepherd, as well as experience with small Chihuahua mixes, high energy herding dogs, and many others in between. I also have significant experience with farm animals (horses, chickens). My work is done entirely remote and is very flexible, so I am able to accommodate many schedules ranging from mid day into the evening. I take safety and trust seriously when caring for someone else’s pet. I always follow instructions carefully, and treat every visit with the same care I expect for my own pets.
“Penny was fabulous! We are first timers to Rover and were nervous trying out someone new. We have two big dogs and one mischievous cat, plus three garden spaces to water and a house to keep up. Penny tackled it all, no problems, handled all aspects of the job. The animals loved her and were all well taken care of. She gave medicine to our dog who has epilepsy twice a day and no issues there, such a relief! She was a joy to connect with , very social and friendly, and put us all at ease, she is a really nice person! We'll use her again in the future!”
“Cat did a fantastic job taking care of my dog! She kept my dog Elsa happy with playtime, walks, and generally in her routine. Cat also took great care of my home and treated everything with great respect. Cat communicated really well, so I was never concerned about what was happening while I was away.”
About: I’ve cared for dogs of all kinds for over 15 years, living on Case Inlet 1.5 acre beach house property with a private beach. I provide beachside walks, feeding, bathing, and loving attention Working from home gives me a flexible routine, so pet care fits in seamlessly. I’m available for boarding and sitting weekdays and weekends, ensuring your pet gets my full attention. My Case Inlet home has a fenced yard, perfect for safe play. I’m attentive, can crate if needed, and keep pets comfy—whether at my place or yours!
“Brigitta was great! Super communicative and flexible when I needed to adjust the time for our meet and greet. My cat is diabetic and requires insulin injections twice a day so her experience with injectable meds made me feel very comfortable about leaving him in her care. She house-sat for me and I came home to house that was at least as clean as I left it and two pets that were well cared for and happy :) She’s now my first call when I need creature care!”
“Alyssa stayed with my needy little poodle mix and also my son’s active golden retriever for a long weekend. Both dogs seemed happy and relaxed when we came on and the house was clean and tidy. I would totally have her come again!”

Tara was really wonderful! When I first met her I could tell she really loves dogs and would take very good care of our pups while we’re were gone for an overnight trip. So happy I found her and I look forward to trusting her with our house and pups again in the future.
Molly took excellent care of our senior (18 yo) kitty that requires lots of special attention including medications and a complicated feeding schedule. She seemed to really enjoy her company. Molly let us know how things were going and took such great care of our home. It meant a lot to come home to a clean house and a happy kitty! We will definitely reach out to Molly again.
Danica did an outstanding job watching my pup over a long weekend. She was very considerate while staying at my house, but more importantly she was very considerate and attentive to my pup. She kept her entertained even when it was raining outside and provided unexpectedly artistic pictures throughout each day. Would definitely recommend!

FAQs for House Sitting - Allyn-Grapeview
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Allyn-Grapeview on Rover is $33.3 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 4,383 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Allyn-Grapeview. 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 Allyn-Grapeview 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 Allyn-Grapeview 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 Allyn-Grapeview 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.

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.
