“shannon took good care of my cat! she sent me a picture of her and gave some updates on how she was doing which i loved, and also offered to watch her for longer than scheduled in case i got delayed while traveling home. she let me know when she was leaving on the day i got back so i would know how much she had to eat. mocha was her usual self when i got back and was waiting by the door when i got home like normal, though with a slight cold shoulder for leaving in the first place! would definitely book again.”
“Maya stepped into a chaotic situation with my three cats: one who wasn't feeling great and only eats tiny amounts, but snacks often, an 8-month-old kitten who isn't very regular with meals yet, and a third adult cat who hates the kitten and isn't shy about letting him know, and who only eats raw food twice daily. A real circus. Maya and her partner who also stayed handled it with poise, and everyone was fed and happy when we returned. Thanks for letting us get away for a few days! Couldn't have done it without you!”
“I am so happy that I found Clarisa. She is warm and caring and clearly loved taking care of my dog. I was away longer than usual, yet I didn't have any worries about my dog's care. I highly recommend booking with Clarisa!”
About: I grew up with many animals and have taken care of dogs, cats, and fish since I was 8 years old. Neighbors, friends, and family have relied and trusted me to walk, feed, and bathe their pets! I am currently home for the summer and eager to meet and play with some new animals! I am available during the days and very flexible! Pet safety is my priority! I make sure to have a leash, water, and some treats whenever I’m walking with a pet. I make sure to give words of affirmation (“good boy” etc.) to the pup or cat, and I care deeply about the well-being of the pet!
“Lindsey was able to get my 1 year old skittish cat to come close enough to pet her on only a two-night stay. My cat, Jazz, was happy upon my return home, a great sign of a successful stay!”
About: I’ve taken care of retired racing greyhounds with lots of anxiety as well as a very spunky golden retriever puppy since he was 7 weeks old. I’ve also raised three kittens to adulthood, and they are my babies! I’ve been loving and caring for animals for as long as I can remember, and I’d love to care for yours as well! I’m currently unemployed due to chronic pain and illness, and looking to find some meaningful work! I’m hoping that taking care of some fur babies will keep my spirits up and bring them joy as well. I’m currently only doing in-home visits and walks:) I never do off-leash walking unless in a fenced area, even if the dog has good recall, because you never know how they’ll respond to someone who isn’t their owner:)
“Annie was incredible. She stayed with my 7 month old pup for a long weekend and took the absolute best care of her. My dog was not only happy, relaxed, and comfortable but I was given major peace of mind as Annie shared regular pictures throughout the day/evening.”
“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!”
“Kaitlyn was fantastic! She took such great care of my pup while I was gone for a week. When I was running low on his favorite nighttime treat, she picked up more so I was restocked when I came back home, which was so helpful!”
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.
About: I have experience with dogs, cats, rabbits, frogs and fish. I am willing to work with any kind of pets and take care of any need. I am avaliable weekends to spend time with your pet and meet it's needs in or out of the home. I am avaliable 8 am - 8 pm I treat pets with respect and love, making sure they don't feel like their space is invaded by giving them lots of room if they look anxious.
“We hired Nina to stay with our dogs for a week and she exceeded every expectation. She was reliable, communicative, and clearly experienced with dogs — ours warmed up to her immediately. Throughout the week she sent regular updates and photos, which put us completely at ease. When we returned home, our dogs were happy and well-cared for, which says everything. If you're looking for someone you can truly trust with your pets, Nina is it. Highly recommend.”
“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 currently have two dogs and experience with all types and breeds. I work from home and take the dogs for walks/runs on Gearhart beach. I am a very attentive dog mom. I have experience with dog medications, wound care, injections, tick removal. I am mainly available on Fri, Sat, and Sunday for all day and overnight care. I will occasionally be available during the week as well. I have two friendly dogs and a large, but unfenced, yard. Dogs have free reign in the house and can use the furniture and beds.
About: I provide dependable in-home pet care with a strong focus on routines, safety, and clear communication. I have experience caring for dogs and cats of different sizes, temperaments, and energy levels, including feeding routines, basic care instructions, and maintaining consistency while owners are away. I take a calm, professional approach and prioritize each pet’s comfort and well-being in their own environment. Pet care fits well into my daily and weekly routine, allowing me to give focused attention to each booking. I plan my schedule around client needs and pet routines, and I’m able to provide consistent care, timely visits, and regular updates throughout each stay. I provide care exclusively in clients’ homes, following established routines and safety instructions. I respect each home, ensure doors and gates are secured, and monitor pets closely for any changes in behavior or health. Clear communication, responsibility, and professionalism are priorities for every booking.
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:)
About: There has never been a time in my life when I haven't taken care of one or more dogs, and that's exactly how I want to keep it! Am currently working night shift at Buds RV park in Gearhart and would very much enjoy a dogs accompaniment for long walks in the morning or afternoon. I will always make sure to provide a safe and enjoyable environment for dogs of all sizes to ensure they receive enough physical/fun activity for the day.

FAQs for House Sitting - Astoria
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Astoria on Rover is $55.5 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 61 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.
