“Jennifer and Champ we amazing staycation friends for my pup, Scout! He was so happy and well cared for while I was gone, and Jennifer's proactive communication and pictures of Scout really helped reassure me that he was in great hands! We can't wait to invite them back next time I need puppy care :D”
“I just had the best experience with our dogs care taker! She visited twice and took notes as I explained his routine. She went beyond just watching Toby...she played with him. She feed him his food on time. She was kind and had a compassion for animals. I would book her again! Thank you for caring for our little boy!”
“Great communication and so willing to help with any request. She's so kind and treats our fur baby with love and kindness. We'd use her again in a heartbeat”
“Stephanie did such a wonderful job with Lily. She was very communicative, responsive and so consistent. She was one of the best dog sitters we’ve ever had. I would recommend her to everyone.”
About: I would say I cater to all emotions and care of animals. I would try my best to give each different home a equal care that fits each breed and age. I am flexible and communicate well, with both owners and their fur babies. I am currently working seasonal and or part - time jobs. I am looking for a consistent routine such as taking care of a companion for my switch to school. I have worked will dogs more often than other animals. That being, when I have gone to clients homes I offer their companions plenty of time to either be outside or just have someone to keep them company. All pets very so all care is different.
“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!”
About: I've always felt a special connection with animals. I grew up with all kinds of pets, have cared for dogs of different breeds and personalities, and have experience house-sitting small dogs and cats. What sets me apart is how much I genuinely enjoy getting to know each animal. I pay attention to their personalities, routines, and little quirks, and I want them (and you) to feel safe and comfortable while you're away. I'm patient with shy pets, happy to get outside for walks and sniff adventures, and never one to skimp on affection for a dog who loves cuddles. I have a calm, friendly 20-pound Beagle mix of my own, including experience with a rescue dog, so I understand that every pet has their own needs and comfort level. I'll treat your pet like one of my own, follow your instructions carefully, and make sure you have photo updates and peace of mind while you're away. 🐾❤️ I know what it's like to need pet care and a trusted sitter as I have used this app myself for petcare. Prefer a meet and greet first if time allows I work for myself from home, so I have flexibility in my daily schedule to fit in walks, drop-in visits, and quality time with your pets. I already build my day around caring for my own small dog, Zoey, and getting outside daily. I'm happy to coordinate around your pet's usual schedule and routines, whether that means morning walks, midday check-ins, or spending more time with them while you're away. As a protective pet owner myself, I want you to feel comfortable knowing your pet is getting attention, companionship, and care from someone who genuinely loves being around animals. 🐶❤️ Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities! 🐾 As a pet owner myself, I understand that every dog has their own personality, preferences, and routines. Some are social butterflies, while others are a little more particular, and that’s perfectly okay! I’ll take the time to get to know your pet and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I’m flexible and happy to follow your instructions closely, whether that means sticking to a specific routine, accommodating special preferences, or making sure your pup gets plenty of attention. Safety is always a priority, and I keep dogs leashed whenever we’re outside a securely fenced area. Communication is important to me, too! I’ll keep you updated with photos so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands. I also have a sweet, easygoing 20-pound Beagle mix named Zoey who is almost 6 years old and spayed. If your dog enjoys the company of other dogs, I’m happy to discuss bringing her along for a little playdate! Of course, I completely understand that not every dog wants a canine companion, so Zoey will only join us with your permission and if it’s a good fit for your pet. My goal is to make your pet feel loved and comfortable while giving you peace of mind while you’re away. ❤️ Reach out with any questions!
“Jaimi and her boy house sit for us on a long weekend and we’re so great. They took such good care of our girls and she went above and beyond with the house before heading home.”
“My dogs loved Mackenzie from the first moment they met her. She emanates kindness and a love for living things. She was available on very short notice, prompt, communicative and thorough. She even helped me with a difficult neighborhood kitty and made sure my beloved feral kitty was fed and safe. My dogs have separation anxiety therefore I often dont leave them. I feel so relieved that now that I have someone I can trust and they feel comfortable with to care for them and for our home.”
About: I have been watching family and friends animals since I was 12. Always my passion, I have spent walking shelter dogs for Regional Animal Shelter of King County, which fed my soul. I love animals and I will go above and beyond so that your fur baby feels all of your love when you're gone. I don’t work at all so I’m available just about anytime. I would have my son with me. I pick up my other son from school around 11:40 so in between that and after I’m available. I live in a double wide trailer with lots of space and a beautiful big yard. I could also crate them if needed. My kids are very gental with dogs as well and they love to play!
About: Hi, I’m Rosa! With 12 years of experience caring for dogs, I know that every pup has their own personality, routine, and little quirks that make them special. I share my home with my 11-year-old Yorkie, who is still playful and full of personality. Caring for a senior dog has taught me how important patience, attentiveness, and understanding each dog’s individual needs can be. My goal is to make your dog feel safe, comfortable, and loved—and to give you peace of mind while you’re away. Whether your pup enjoys neighborhood walks, exploring the park, playing fetch, or simply relaxing with a trusted companion, I’ll tailor our time together to their energy level and preferences. I’m happy to follow your instructions for feeding, walks, medication, crate use, and rest so your dog can maintain a familiar routine. I understand that leaving your pet with someone new can feel like a big decision. That’s why I value clear communication, thoughtful care, and regular photo updates through Rover, so you can see how your pup is doing. I’m available for boarding on most weekdays after 2 PM, with flexibility depending on my schedule. Before booking, I’d love to learn about your dog’s temperament, daily routine, favorite activities, and any special needs. I’d love to meet you and your pup and help them feel right at home! 🐶❤️ I currently work part-time, so I have plenty of flexibility to give your pup lots of attention. I’m available for boarding on most weekdays after 2 PM. I’m also happy to accommodate your dog’s usual feeding, walking, and rest schedule whenever possible. My priority is keeping every pup safe, comfortable, and supervised. I have a clean, dog-friendly home and an 11-year-old Yorkie who is friendly and used to having other dogs around. I’m happy to follow your instructions for feeding, walks, crate use, and routines, and I’ll make sure your dog has a calm space to relax when they need quiet time.
About: I’ve had tons of experience with animals, from when I was a kid, to when I went into the foster system. I’m well equipped to handle your pets. Currently working towards my GED, so I’m very flexible with advance notice, and am able to come to your home most days of the week, during most times of the day. I’m able to give them exercise and stimulation, whether that’s walks or play time, bathroom time, and will stick to whatever food schedule I’m given.
“If I could give Taylor a bonus 6th star, I would! She is a stellar sitter. She shows up on time, send tons of great pictures and updates without being too chatty OR too little info, and is a great communicator. She proactively let me know when supplies were running out and needed a restock. More than anything though, when she didn't have experience giving insulin injections, she was happy to learn and took it on like a pro! I was so impressed how she jumped in with both feet and a positive attitude. While I was away, a neighbor texted me they had spotted my dog on a walk with her and he looked "happy as a clam!" Sure enough, when I came home, my typically anxious dog was relaxed and content. I know she took fantastic care of him and can't wait to book her again!”
“I wasn't quite sure what to expect with Keleia. She barely said 3 words at our meet-n-greet, so I was a little nervous! But I am very happy I still booked! She was a fantastic communicator over text and always told me when she needed to pop out and was on her way back. She also sent pictures as I asked and my dog looked healthy and content in them. When I arrived home, she had run the dishwasher and changed the bedsheets as I asked, and the house was nice and tidy. My dog also was in good spirits and didn't seem overly relieved I was home after my short absence, so I think he had a great time with her. I'll definitely be booking with her again!”
“Olivia is a gem. It’s such a gift to find a pet sitter that is very communicative, considerate, thoughtful, and trustworthy. Olivia was proactive with our pets and asked us really good questions to ensure all their needs were met. She was wonderful with her updates and photos. Our pets just loved her! We highly recommend her pet care and we will be booking again!”
“Mariana was incredible!! I needed some last minute assistance with my pack and Mariana pulled in in the clutch. I can’t tell you how much I appreciated that. Communicative, great with the dogs and super nice. I will absolutely be utilizing Mariana’s services again. Thank you Mariana!!”
“Brooklyn was very prompt with responding and sent photos of my cats daily and gave updates when needed! She was open to using a lockbox to get keys out rather than in person handoff and made things much easier!”
“I can't say enough about Samantha's great service to our 2 cats. I was leaving Moon for longest stretch ever and Samatha was so patient and understanding of my constant text messages both before and during the 4 days she cat-sat. Hedda is often shy and hides from cat sitters, but she was ready to greet Samantha each time she came. Samantha was so conscientious with our cats. She stayed much longer than expected to play with Moon, made good decisions when she couldn't reach me one time, and managed to keep him from getting outside (not easy!). I was impressed that she identified Moon's depression right away; and it helped me prepare for our homecoming. I look forward to using Samantha again.”
“Nayeli did a great job watching my dog! She followed all my instructions and gave me lots of updates throughout the weekend. I returned to a happy dog and a well taken care of home. I would recommend Nayeli and book her again!”

Christine is the best sitter ever!! Our dog Winnie has some sensitivities, and Christine was nothing but patient, loving, and attentive to her needs. We couldn’t have asked for more trustworthy or caring hands for our four-legged friend. Truly couldn’t recommend her enough! 10/10 stars! ⭐️
Cambria always does the best job with our pets, 2 dogs and 2 cats. The cats adore her (easy to see from the many pictures she sends) and due to our dogs having different levels of mobility, takes the younger one on extra walks. House is so tidy and clean when we return - would never know someone stayed there. And we trust her - she notices info on our pets that I don’t. She is the e best pet sitter we have ever had. Thank you Cambria❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Russell, as always, went above and beyond! He treats our home and our entire pack like his own, and we couldn’t ask for better care while we’re away. Knowing everyone is happy, loved, and in such good hands gives us complete peace of mind. At this point, we may just have to start planning our trips around Russell’s availability!
Annie looked after our pup for an overnight stay. It was a last minute business trip booking and Annie was flexible and came to our rescue! Our pup was happy upon our return and our home was like no one was even there. We will definitely be asking Annie to watch our girl again!
Our dog is older and medically fragile, so I was a little anxious about leaving for an extended period. But Megan did a great job managing her medication protocols, which can be fairly complicated, and in maintaining contact with the vet and us to keep everyone in the loop. If we need to travel without our dog again, Megan would be my first choice for a pet sitter.
Tina was absolutely phenomenal with my energetic 2 yo. She took Saoirse on wonderful walks at Point Defiance and Sehmel Homestead Park, kept her happy and engaged, and made sure Saoirse had the perfect mix of exercise, care, love, attention, and joy. The regulare photos and videos were absolutely delightful to receive (and share :). Tina’s updates, attention to detail, kindness, and genuine love for dogs shine through in everything she does. According to Saoirse, Tina deserves a thousand stars — and I couldn’t agree more. Thank you for taking amazing care of my sweet girl!
Maria was a wonderful companion to Fiddlesticks! She was communicative during our trip, sending great photos and updates. This was our first trip away from Fiddle and we felt totally comfortable and safe leaving him in Maria’s care. She is knowledgeable about dogs, understands their needs, and continued our training during crucial puppy-development-time. We appreciate her so much and would book again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Artondale is $55 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $39 and $129 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 6,602 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Artondale. 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 Artondale 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 Artondale 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 Artondale 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.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Artondale. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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.
