“James did a great job with our somewhat finicky pets — kept us updated as they adjusted, won them over impressively, was considerate & a pleasure to work with.”
“Vanessa helped care for our furry family while we were out on vacation, and we greatly appreciated her care and responsivness. Despite our pets throwing various challenges at her, she reached out as needed for direction and handled it with grace. Including taking great care of our kitten who got an eye injury right before our vacation and needed additional care! When we got home everything was tidy and well cared for so our return was stress free.”
About: I have always loved dogs and I have my own pet husky, Axel! I think enrichment is crucial for pet care and I will keep your pup entertained with lots of love, exercise, and cuddles :) I recently graduated from UW Seattle and I am looking for pet-sitting gigs in the meantime. I love going for walks in the mornings and evenings to start and end my days. I will provide gentle care and walks and runs as needed. I can also provide basic grooming services like brushing and/or teeth brushing if needed.
“This was our first time using Dmytro and it was great! Fast and consistent communication, worked well with multiple changes to the visit and sent pictures of two happy dogs!”
“Anna did a fantastic job for us. She kept us informed, went above and beyond for our elderly dog and she also took the initiative to do necessary tasks around the house. I would highly recommend her and will certainly book with her again!”
About: I have 9 years of dog care experience. My customers are always happy with my work and keep returning for my services. I will take good care of your babies and give them all the love and affection while you are away. I will leave your place as clean (or cleaner) as you left it. I'm available full-time. I can walk your pets or stay with them at your house. Pets are my passion and spending time with them makes me happy. I always respect and follow your rules for your pets and house. Safety and well-being for everyone is my priority. I am tidy, clean, and trustworthy.
“Jasmine did an amazing job looking after our dog Bruno and watching our home. We appreciated the detailed updates during our trip including photos and videos. Jasmine also went above and beyond and took great care of our plants while we were away.”
“Having Anna sit our dogs was the best experience we have had leaving our dogs home! The dogs loved her, we got video/picture updates daily which relieved the adult stress about leaving them. When we got home the dogs were happy and not stressed at all (which they can get even with us). The house was cleaner than we left it! Will definitely book with her again!”
“This was the first time we used Shana's services. She did a wonderful job of taking care of our two dogs and bunny. The morning we were leaving, one of our dogs developed an ear infection. Shana really stepped up, managed meds and got her to the vet for treatment. She also sent some amazing photos daily...photographer quality! Will definitely hire her again.”
“Georgia was great! She looked after our 1 year old golden at our place for a day. We had to leave at a hurry, and she was kind enough to figure things at our home. She kept us updated by sending pics and messages. Would like to have her sit my boy again!”
“Kayla was fantastic! Sent daily updates. My pup was happy and healthy when I got home. She even did a load of laundry and left the house super clean. Will definitely be booking with her again!”
“Russell was great with our older dog and cat. He kept us updated and took our dog on great walks. He also took good care of our home. Even watered plants without being asked. He can be relied upon ti take great care of pets and home”
“Finley loved spending the day with Gabrielle! Finley is 3.5 months and it was hard to find someone to dog sit Finley because she’s so young and still potty training and learning. I was so appreciative that Gabrielle was very attentive, followed Finley’s schedule, and went above and beyond to take her on multiple walks and do some training with her! She also sent me plenty of pictures and updates to put me at ease since it was my first time away from the little one. I will definitely book with Gabrielle & Daniel again. Thank you!!”
About: I dreamed of having my own pet for a very long time. While circumstances did not allow me to have one of my own, I played and looked after the cats and dogs of my friends. More than 4 years ago I got a dog, Chihuahua Elsa, whom I love incredibly. Being a pet sitter allows me to combine my passion for animals with the joy of providing them with care and companionship. I’m currently working part time and studying so I have flexible schedule: Mondays to Fridays from 6 am to 10 pm. We can also discuss weekends, sometimes I may have free time. I live in the apartments with my own dog( chihuahua). I have a guest bedroom, so it’s not a problem to separate your pet from mine. We also have a backyard near apartment complex and a park in 10-15 minutes walk.
“We cannot thank Christiane enough for taking such wonderful care of our senior dog. This was his first time with a new sitter and we could not have found a more suitable, patient and caring person. It also happened to be the perfect storm of an Xfinity outage, power outage and a snowstorm which was all handled so calmly. We also came home to a spotless house. Very grateful!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs all shapes, sizes, and ages, and feel comfortable with any dog under my care. I am currently applying to medical school, so I have plenty of availability. I have a degree in psychobiology from UCLA, and am knowledgable on several dog training techniques, such as positive reinforcement, shaping, and motivation. When I am not studying or working on my application, I love going on walks, and getting lost in a good book. I’ve cared for German shepherds, lab mixes, corgis, samoyeds, Portuguese water dogs, and more. I am dependable and understand canine behavior well, ensuring your dog is comfortable throughout the entire experience! Plus, I love dogs and will give your pup the love and care they deserve! I am currently applying to med school, so my schedule is very flexible. I wake up early, so I can begin walks as early as 7 am. When I’m not studying/working on my application, I love going on walks and reading books. I have a degree in psychobiology, and am knowledgable on several dog training techniques, such as positive reinforcement, shaping, and motivation. I live in an apartment complex that has a doggy area, and a dog park very close by to burn some of your pup’s energy! I am happy to host a dog here, or care for them at the clients home.
“Janine did a great job watching our two dogs. She was reliable, communicative, and clearly cared about them. It gave us peace of mind knowing they were in good hands, and they were happy and well cared for when we got back. We’d definitely trust Janine to watch them again and highly recommend her.”
“Would absolutely rebook with Blake! He is professional, clean, and sent lots of photos! I could tell my little nugget was in good safe hands and in great spirits while I was gone.”
“I would say Anatolii and Svitlana for our super anxious dog was a pure blessing. They were meticulous about Simba's walks and feeding . Our dog is super anxious and takes time to get comfortable with new people . Simba started warming up to them and eventually started getting on bed with them during the period of care. They understand dogs and will cater their care as per the dogs needs. They were sweet to accommodate Whatsapp video calls when we were in India and also sent multiple photos. I would say knowing we can reach out to Anatolii and Svitlana again for Simba is very comforting . I will highly recommend them for any dog parents.”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Bellevue is $65

Taylor was fantastic!!! We would absolutely not hesitate to work with her again!! Our dog was totally chill and content when we got home from a week away, which is a huge sign that he was happy and relaxed during his housesit. Taylor provided daily updates and pictures so we knew they were alright. She is so cool, capable and intuitive with dogs!! Top notch communication and the apartment was left in I think better condition than when we left 🤣.
Gabrielle did a great job taking care of our 2 dogs. We had to travel unexpectedly, and we're so grateful knowing our pups were in such capable caring hands. Our dogs are both seniors (12.5 yrs and 19.5 yrs) each with their own special care and handling needs. Gabrielle gave us many updates, and we felt comfortable knowing they were both okay. We'd highly recommend using Gabrielle.
Jenna is absolutely amazing. I was very stressed about leaving my fur babies for a week. Her expertise and regular pictures of my happy dogs helped me to relax, knowing that they were in good hands. When I got home I found that in addition to happy dogs my house was also nice and clean. I could not ask for more.
Liliana was wonderful with our dog Luna! She clearly loved and cared for her as if she were her own. Luna was happy, well cared for, and clearly enjoyed her time with Liliana. We really appreciated the excellent communication and the peace of mind knowing Luna was in such good hands. We would recommend Liliana and would be happy to have her care for Luna again!
Erin stayed with my two cats for a few days this summer. She was very responsive when I first reached out to inquire about her availability. Once she was here, she was communicative and sent photos and updates of the cats throughout the stay. She left the house sparkling clean and cats were happy! I will be using her in the future! Thank you!!!
We re-booked Dahae after having a wonderful experience with her stay the first time. Again, she’s very loving towards the pets making sure they are well taken care of and I appreciated that she sends photos of the animals everyday. She’s very respectful of the home and it was nice to come back to a clean place. Thank you again for taking care of Yoshi and Leo :)
Lauren was a true joy to work with from start to finish! Great at communication, arrived on time, asked thoughtful questions about our pups routine and left our home spotless; she even left a lovely human treat for US when we arrived home! Murphy took to her caring personality immediately which is not his usual M.O. when meeting new folks. He was obviously well cared for and loved on while we were away. And bonus, she recently graduated from veterinarian school so we were confident she could handle any situation that arose. We’d give her 10 Stars ⭐️ if we could!
Caleb and Nicole were wonderful with our fur babies during our wedding! This was our second time booking with them, and once again they were flexible, trustworthy, communicative, and incredibly easy to work with. They sent lots of great photos, which gave us real peace of mind while we were away. We would happily recommend them and absolutely plan to book with them again!
Ingrid took incredible care of Morticia while we were out of town for 4 days. She provided attentive care, playtime, and administered medication while we were gone. Morticia was in a great mood and showed health improvements when we came home. Ingrid provided daily photo updates and asked clarifying questions about Morticia’s care. Thank you for taking such good care of Morticia, Ingrid— we will definitely book again!
kristen was amazing! i have to admit—i was nervous! this was our first time leaving our puppers for this long. my husband and i went to hawaii for a week and kristen came to stay at our house. not only did she do everything we asked of her, she went above and beyond (administering medication) and messaged us daily with updates, pics/videos…. i was completely as ease the whole time and actually enjoyed my vacation. my pom has separation anxiety and she didn’t cry once while i was gone.. that’s HUGE. i will defo call her next time we leave town. i trust her completely🩷

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Bellevue is $56 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $32 and $89 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 8,045 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Bellevue. 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 Bellevue 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 Bellevue 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 Bellevue 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 Bellevue. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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.
