“Gina was phenomenal. I felt so comfortable having her watch George. I could tell when I came home that he was well cared for. He needs quite a few medications and Gina was very conscientious about his dosing. Bonus: my house was clean when I came home. I didn’t have to come home to dirty dishes or a full trash. I wholeheartedly recommend her!”
“My whole experience with Mona from start to finish was excellent. She came to my home for a meet and greet right away. She is friendly, smart, efficient, kind, and respectful. She had a good sense of humor about dealing with the four spoiled cats. She called it “herding cats”. She took perfect care of my home, and even brought her own sheets and towels! I have already booked her for another stay in July. I give Mona an A++++!”

“Shannon was great! It was a huge weight off my mind, as we left on vacation while one of my fur babies was still having some trouble eating well. Shannon let me know how things were going, asked for guidance on the day he didn't eat much, and had him back up and going by the time we got back. We couldn't hardly tell anyone had been staying at our house when we got back! I recommend her solidly!”
“Clarisa stayed at our house for 10 nights with our two dogs (an 11-year-old, 100-lb senior and a 7-year-old mix), kept them on their daily meds and routine, and walked them separately. Our dogs can occasionally scuffle with other dogs and she handled it well. Great communication before the trip and daily photos while we were gone — the dogs were clearly happy and affectionate with her. She took away all the stress and made our trip so enjoyable! Highly recommend!”
About: With 10 years of pet-care experience, I provide dependable in-home care for dogs and cats of different ages, sizes, energy levels, and temperaments.

Pet parents receive timely communication and regular photo updates. I maintain independent business liability insurance for my professional pet-sitting and house-sitting services, providing clients with added peace of mind. I maintain independent business liability insurance for my professional pet-sitting and house-sitting services, providing clients with added peace of mind. I care for pets in their own homes, where familiar surroundings can help them stay comfortable. At the meet-and-greet, I review routines, medications, emergency contacts, entry instructions, and any fears or triggers. I secure doors and gates, check leashes and harnesses before walks, and provide clear photo updates throughout the booking.
“Heidi could not have been more accommodating when our schedule kept changing. She really put our mind at ease about leaving our 10 week puppy with her. He was so happy in her care, and we felt very comfortable leaving him with her in our home. So happy we found Heidi!”
“Kris did an amazing job watching our dogs and caring for our home. He had good communication, kept the dogs routines and cleaned up after himself including washing the sheets and making the bed where he slept. He sat for us before, and we will definitely use him again.”
“Ashleigh is the best and did an amazing job caring for our two dogs while we were out of town for the weekend. We felt so secure knowing she was with them and she handled our high maintenance 4 month old GSP puppy like a champ. So grateful for her!”
“Is there possibly a 10 star rating system? Asking for a friend! All silliness aside, I am afraid I might run out of space with all the amazing comments I'd like to share about Andrea. Dependable, conscientious, prompt, caring, attentive, compassionate, amazing and immediate communication, and just a first-rate professional. These are just the first few descriptors that come to mind after our experience with Andrea pet and house sitting for our family. The pups and kitty loved her and the amazing attention she and her side-kick pup Nova devoted to them. I felt my four legged kids were in excellent hands and had complete confidence my home was secure and protected too. It was so fun to get pictures while we were out of town of everyone having so much fun running around, tails wagging and tongues falling out of their cute faces. They were exhausted and slept all day after we got home. Mission accomplished. We couldn't be happier and would recommend her without any hesitation! Thank you Andrea!”
About: Hello! We are a couple working together to build our pet care business on the West Coast! Together we have 5+ years of pet care experience between friends, family, and professional gigs taking care of furry friends. We intend to operate professionally with organized routines according to your care instructions (aka we do exactly what you say when you need it done)! Let us sit your pets so you can enjoy yourself while you’re away:) Paige and I currently do pet sitting full-time as we try to build a portfolio and customer base on the West Coast! We are available for overnight pet sitting gigs and casual drop-ins. Some weekends we have travel plans, but with enough notice those are flexible plans. We will follow any instructions provided for us exactly as directed. For drop-ins, we typically spend some time with your pet in addition to necessities like letting them out and feeding them. For longer stays we typically spend the day playing and hanging out with your pet as we would our own in addition to necessities. We always send pictures and/ or updated unless preferred otherwise.
About: I’ve been walking dogs and pet sitting for friends and neighbors for years, and caring for animals has always been one of my favorite parts of life. I love getting to know each pet’s unique personality and making sure they feel safe, loved, and totally at ease while you’re away. Whether it’s walks, playtime, cuddles, or just quiet company, I’m dedicated to giving your pets the same patience and care I’d want for my own. I work full-time, but I am available all day on Fridays and Saturdays. I'm also available in the early morning and in the evening any day of the week! I cannot care for your pets in my own home, but I am happy to go to clients' homes. I am in Seaside and can drive to your home to care for your pet.
“Jodi was great! Our boy Joe was well cared for and seemed happy and chill when we returned. Our dog is new to us and to people warmed right up to her so we weren’t worried about leaving. The house was cleaner than we left it! We will definitely have her watch Joe again.”
About: I have been caring for animals for most of my life. We had 2 Doberman when I was a baby which led to me always having a dog or cat in my life. I'd love to meet yours! I will be the only walker handling your pets through this profile. I am available for short, elderly walks to long, youthful puppy runs. Ready to talk, feel free to shoot a message over to talk about your needs for your animals :D I will be the only walker handling your pets through this profile. I like to ensure your pet has a clean, safe environment. All hazards will be picked up promptly, as well as any potty spotted in the yard or accidents in the house.
About: Ive grown up constantly having dogs around me. I’ve taken care of all different kinds of breeds so I’m comfortable with all sizes and most temperaments! My schedule is pretty open. I work later in the day so I’m available 10:00am-1:30pm Thurs-sun and Mon-Wednesday are all available! Having my own dog, I understand how important it is that they are comfortable and taken care of! I have a chihuahua with a very impatient bladder and I’m very blessed to live so close to work so I walk home every two hours to let him outside. We go for walks on the beach, hang out in our fenced back yard, or snuggle on the couch:)
“We had an absolutely wonderful experience with our sitter and couldn’t recommend her more highly! From the very beginning, her communication was outstanding. She kept us updated every single day with messages, pictures, and videos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was clear from the updates that our animals were not only well cared for, but genuinely happy and comfortable with her. Seeing our dog and cows relaxed and content made all the difference for us. She was attentive, reliable, and clearly takes great pride in the care she provides. Knowing that our pets were in such capable and caring hands allowed us to fully relax during our time away. We came home to happy, healthy animals and couldn’t be more grateful. We would absolutely trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable and thoughtful sitter!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Astoria on Rover is $49.95 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 54 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Astoria. 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 Astoria 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 Astoria 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 Astoria 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 administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
