“Katelyn did a great job watching our two dogs and cat over the weekend! We were thankful that she was able to watch them on short notice (few days in advance). Katelyn was thorough in ensuring she understood their care needs when we meet ahead of time and and throughout the visit. I definitely recommend Katelyn to anyone who is looking for a local pet sitter/walker!”
“A happy animal is the best review a sitter can get but I will try to represent my perspective as well. Mia was a joy to have as a house sitter. My dog tends to go on a hunger strike when we’re gone and she was able to keep her eating in addition to spending quality time with her. Mia’s communication before and during our trip made everything easier. Looking forward to our next booking with her!”

“Tyler is great! He played with and walked our big beast I know that wasn’t the easiest. But in addition Tyler went the extra mile and brought our unexpected packages in for us without having to ask and tidying up the house before he left. He kept us updated with pictures and messages to let us know our doggies were good which I appreciate to ease my mind. Will definitely book again our next vacation! Thanks Tyler!”

About: While I have only provided official pet care once, I have gained experience through owning and caring for my own pets since I was a young girl. My family has raised a variety of animals, and we've always had dogs and cats in our home. Over the years, we've owned goats, bunnies, birds, dogs, and cats. My experience comes from caring for my own pets, plus helping out with pets belonging to family, friends, and neighbors. I've learned how to handle feeding, grooming, cleaning up after them, and making them feel comfortable and loved. I would love nothing more than to meet your sweet pet and give them all the love and care they deserve whenever you need a reliable, caring caretaker. Weekdays: I’m available in the afternoons and evenings, from 2:00–8:00 PM, for check-ins and walks. Saturdays: I’m available for occasional visits throughout the day to feed, walk, play with, and spend quality time with your pet. I will show all pets love and attention through play and physical touch. As a lover of the outdoors, it is my pleasure to take your pet outside to play and run around with them. For cats, I will show them the attention they need, whether that's gentle petting, brushing, playing with toys, or simply sitting quietly with them so they feel comfortable and secure. I will always respect your home when visiting. I will make sure food and water bowls are fresh, litter boxes are clean, and that pets have a quiet, cozy space to rest when they need it. I promise to treat every pet like my own family member, with patience, kindness, and plenty of love.
About: I grew up with many pets so I am no stranger to pet care. In recent years, I frequently pet sit for friends and family and would love to spend my free time keeping your pet company I work part time but currently have a flexible schedule. I am available weekends and weekdays. I’m often available, just need to schedule in advance. I can care for pets by following their normal routines, provide plenty of attention, engaging in their regular exercise, and help keep pets comfortable in their own homes and providing feedings.
About: I enjoyed having cats and dogs growing up. As an adult, I have taken care of both cats and dogs for friends. I also worked/volunteered at a local shelter for years. working with puppies. old, big, little and traumatized dogs. I can run with those that want to. Additionally, I’m good at fetch and tug-of-war. I have commercial auto insurance coverage for your pet in my care. And I have uploaded a copy of my PetCare Insurance in my photos that covers potential incidents in your home, my home and in the park. I’ve given medication’s. I will follow your instructions to the letter and I don’t have an opinion. I have a lot of free time while I’m working on a book and don’t really need the money. I just would love the experience. I think the most important part is safety. PetCare Insurance for the unforeseen, but vigilance eliminates a lot of that. Pets are often curious and you need to make sure they’re not getting into harms way. When I take your dog for a walk, I won’t be on my phone because you need to be on the lookout for potential danger. I can take your dog to the park, around the neighborhood, for a drive or just stand in the yard. It’s all up to you. I will follow your instructions without opinion.

FAQs for House Sitting - Battle Ground
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Battle Ground on Rover is $31.03 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 165 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Battle Ground. 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 Battle Ground 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 Battle Ground 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 Battle Ground 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.
