“I'm so pleased that my first experience through Rover was with Junbo. During our meet-and-greet, I was surprised by how quickly my pup felt comfortable with her. During my weekend away, Junbo kept in frequent contact with me through texts, photos, and videos. I had every confidence my pup was in good hands, and I'll definitely be contacting Junbo again for my next trip.”
“Thank you so much for watching Benji! Ming was able to accommodate a last minute request do 2 different requests. I will definitely use Ming again and I highly recommend her.”
“Liliana housesitted (it’s a word now) our brand new 7 weeks pup, she was attentive, caring and super helpful. Couldn’t have asked for a better sitter to care for our new baby. She will be on my hot dial now for dog sitting.”
“Rachel took great care of our pup while we were away for a week! She was very chill and super quick with replying any time I reached out for an update. We came home to a happy, safe doggie and very clean house and we so appreciated that after a long day of travel!”
“Georgia was awesome caring for our three small dogs for four days on short notice. She quickly learned the pups' personalities and became their best friend. It was great knowing our house/dog sitter wasn't just a warm body keeping them fed, but was happy to be part of their daily routine. Her daily photos were creative and brought us joy while we were on vacation. I'll be eager to book Georgia again the next time we need a house/pet sitter!”
“Wilma was absolutely fantastic. My pup does not do well with strangers but, when we met Wilma, there's wasn't even a growl. When I came back home my dog was relaxed and showed absolutely no sign of stress. I would definitely hire Wilma again!”
“Olivia stayed with Max, our 20-lb mini-Aussie, for the evening and did a great job. She was on time, professional, and very comfortable with him from the start. Max can be a little grumpy or cautious with new people, but he warmed up to Olivia right away and seemed very relaxed around her. We would definitely have her watch Max again.”
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.
“Moriah watched my collie mix while I was gone and it was such a pleasure. She did a great job, especially managing my high energy dog and my dog’s medication. I look forward to booking her again next time I need a dog sitter.”
“wendy was thankfully able to do a last minute booking for us. her communication is excellent and her attitude is happy and professional. we recommend her and look forward to future bookings”
About: I have been an animal lover since childhood and truly believe that pets are our 'younger brothers' who deserve nothing but respect and affection. For the past 5 years, I’ve been a dedicated dog owner myself, which taught me the nuances of daily care and intuition. Beyond my personal life, I have 3 years of professional experience as a Rover sitter under a previous account. I don’t just 'watch' dogs; I welcome them into my home as family members, ensuring they feel loved, safe, and respected every second you are away. I work a flexible hybrid schedule, splitting my time between the office and home. My typical workday starts early at 6:00 AM and ends by 2:30 PM, though I often finish a couple of hours earlier. This early schedule is perfect for pet care because it means I am home for the majority of the day. On days I work from home, we are together 24/7. On office days, the pets are only alone for a short period before I return to dedicate my afternoon to them. Our typical walking routine includes: Morning: A refreshing early walk to kickstart the day. Mid-afternoon: A long, high-energy walk right after I finish work. Evening: A medium-length stroll before bedtime to ensure everyone is relaxed and ready for sleep. On weekends, we love to go on adventures! We frequently visit local parks to enjoy the fresh air and give the dogs plenty of space to explore. Your pet will fit right into our active and attentive daily rhythm. Creating a secure and stress-free environment is my top priority. Whether your pet is staying with me or I’m visiting them, I ensure they feel like a true member of the family. A Comfortable Home Environment: Choice of Sleeping: Every guest has a dedicated "safe place" to retreat to, but I believe in total comfort. Pets are more than welcome to snuggle up in bed with me if that’s where they feel most secure and happy! Personal Space: To prevent any stress during mealtimes, each pet has their own designated station for food and fresh water. Play & Mental Stimulation: I dedicate one-on-one time to every pet for interactive play and engagement. We have a huge variety of toys to keep them entertained! Treats & Care: I love spoiling my guests with tasty treats, though I am very strict about checking for allergies or specific dietary instructions from owners first. Safety & Peace of Mind: Because I have a small, cat-friendly dog of my own, my home is already set up to be a pet-safe zone. I am very attentive to body language and ensure that all interactions between animals are supervised and positive. You can expect regular photo updates and messages so you can see exactly how much fun your pet is having!
“Hailey was so great! She was very loving to our pups. She was understanding and attentive to all of their needs. She sent frequent updates, was extremely clean and respectful, and we felt very safe with her taking care of our dogs and house. Would definitely have her dog / house sit again!”
“We couldn't be happier with the job Gabrielle did watching our home, dogs, and chickens. She sent us regular photos of our dogs and asked questions whenever she needed information. We came home to happy dogs and a clean house. Thanks Gabrielle!”
“Jessie did a great job! She stayed in contact with us (as best as possible as we were cruising and not always able to respond promptly). She sent photos of badger and made sure he was taken care of! Our home was left in great condition and she even washed the spare bedroom sheets and blankets upon departure! We will absolutely use her in the future!”
“Dale did an excellent job looking after Harvey. We really appreciated the thoughtful care and communication while we were away. 10/10 would recommend and rebook with Dale.”
“Primrose was a wonderful dog sitter. They were very respectful, responsive, and sent great pet updates. I would definitely recommend and plan on booking again.”
About: Dogs have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember, and caring for them comes naturally to me. I enjoy building trust with each dog and creating a calm, positive environment where they feel safe and happy. Whether we're playing, walking, or just relaxing, I strive to make their time with me feel like a fun visit with a friend. I am working part time and flexible. I would prefer long walks and potty breaks. I am also available to provide shuttle to and from the vet. I don’t have a fenced yard but live right next to a park and Lake Washington. As a result, time spent outdoors will be accommodated by leash.
“Friendly and conscientious, fast and clear communication before/during/after, sent fun daily photos of our dogs relaxed and having fun with him, flexibly supported our schedule asks, and returned our home as tidy as we'd left it. Looking forward to using Toki's services again.”

Betsy was fantastic! She was taking care of two dogs and a cat for me, and everything about her care was top notch. The dogs got lots of walks and play time, and my kitty got lots of cuddling. She took excellent care of the house as well - including leaving it perfectly clean when I got home. I'm really impressed and very grateful!
Dahae did a great job with our pups Pickle and Kiwi! They can be territorial but they both warmed to her quickly. She was able to come over for a pre sit meet and greet and we knew right away she was going to be great! She left our apartment tidy and the pups happy! We got photos from her every day and felt comfortable having her stay. Would book her again for future pet sitting!
Dana was the perfect person to watch my Maltipoo. I appreciate Dana's excellent communication in preparation for watching my dog for the first time, and she made me feel confident that my dog was in good hands. Dana is kind and thoughtful, and Elle took to her right away. I will definitely ask for Dana the next time I'm in town. 😊
Louisa was such a caring and responsible sitter for our senior cat. She kept us updated on his daily events and sent pics too. Like most cats, they can be fickle, but I could easily see he had warmed up to her and was very comfortable. We would use her again in a heartbeat! She’s considerate and puts the care of your animal first.

FAQs for House Sitting - Bellevue
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Bellevue on Rover is $55.5 per night (as of June 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 June 2026, there are 8,162 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 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.

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.
