I received multiple pictures of Maxximus and Lola and messages from Sarah while I was away. This reassurance allowed me to enjoy my vacation. She also kept the house organized for my return. Thank you!!!

Ayla was great!! She was prompt in all her responses and completely put my mind at ease while watching our puppy for the day. You could tell our pup had a great time with her and I’d absolutely have her watch him again!

I’ve never left Baloo with anyone and I’m so happy I Kya was the one to watch him! She was very communicative, sent pictures daily and you can just see how at ease Baloo was with her! She not only watched Baloo but took care of the house and it was in great shape upon return. I can’t thank her enough as she put me at easy to allow me to enjoy my vacation. I will definitely be rebooking with Kya!

This was our second time using Deanne and both times we gave her challenging circumstances which she handled exceptionally well!! This time…Our daughter was getting married so it was a busy and important weekend for us. One of our dogs was several weeks out from major surgery on both legs, on several medications and restrictions as well as needs for exercise and assistance. And, to add to the challenge she started her first heat cycle just as we were leaving and couldn’t have her therapy that week to help with her mobility and pain as a result . One of our other dogs has major anxiety issues so transitions can be hard for her as can simple things like noises and walks. Deanne handled all of this with ease and professionalism and Her updates were timely and helped us to enjoy the wedding without worrying a bit about the pets. We returned home to very happy pets. Deanne does an awesome job as a house and pet sitter and we wish there were more than 5 stars to give her. She is exceptional!! We will always use her in the future!

About: I have been taking care of animals since I was 7 years old. I grew up on an acreage and we always had cats and dogs. I can administer shots and medication and have experience bottle feeding kittens and bunnies. I love animals and understand that each one is different and deserves love. I am patient and careful with each pet, giving them the attention they need and feel most comfortable with. I have a soft spot for senior animals. I am a teacher, so I am available all summer for your pet sitting needs! During the school year, I am only available on the weekends or after school check-ins. I will follow all directions and rules for taking care of your pet(s). Each one is special and I understand they all have their own needs. I am great at going with the flow with your pet and letting them lead the activity.

Darla was a great house sitter! She was thorough in getting to know the house and Gemma’s behavior, and was very respectful with our space. We came home to clean house and a very tired pup! Appreciated the touch of leaving calming dog TV on for Gemma while she was home alone 😄

This was the first time I've used Rover and found Sara. Communication was great from the get-go. As this was the first time I let someone else watch Iris (8 months old), rightfully so to be nervous and hesitant. Sara was very understanding and attentive as I went through what Iris needed, how her demeanor is, and all of the in-between. You could tell that Sara genuinely cares and enjoys caring for pets as a side gig. Sara was fantastic and we'll definitely book again.

I highly recommend Josh to stay with your pet! He stayed with my dog Diesel over this past weekend at my house. When I returned home Diesel was very happy and my home was in perfect shape. While I was away Josh sent several pictures of them taking walks together and playing together. They had lots of fun and Josh really focused on Diesel. I will definitely book him again when I need to be out of town.

Andrew (Rusty) exceeded all my expectations when it came to boarding my two dogs. First of all, this was the first time they were boarded. They are 7 yrs. Old so I was a little nervous and wondering how my dogs would react. Rusty was amazing with them and they came back relaxed and I knew they were well taken care of. Rusty has a great fenced in area and my dogs love being outside. I highly recommend Rusty and so does Stella and Beau!

About: As a middle schooler, I worked on a farm property as a pet groomer. I have experience with both dogs and cats, and a specialization with dogs that are disabled and have behavioral issues. I enjoy being active, going on walks, and making sure your fur baby gets the love they deserve! I am currently working part time at an eye-care office! I have a lot of free time, and would love to spend it with your fur baby! I am flexible and happy to accommodate to whatever you and your pet’s needs may be. I am respectful of the spaces I am in, and I understand that life can get busy sometimes. I never judge a messy home, and promise that it won’t be an issue. I am just happy to help!

About: So let's be realistic, we have pretty busy schedules as adults. I don't though so don't feel bad when you schedule me haha. I've been a papa to the biggest of fluffers and smallest of small dogs. I'm very familiar with the feisty kittens and old grumpy cats, and at one point even a gold fish I kept for 2 years. I am no stranger to particular schedules, care routines, or special requests of animals. You got shedders? Not a problem I have lint rollers haha. I have been in customer service for years now, and every time when making someone's day easier or allowing them to feel less stress it brings me the most joy. I've been a mix of animals owner most of my life from fostering animals in need or assisting family and friends with taking care of their animals. I also supply baggies for bathroom time and long sleeves if it's chilly outside. I go on a lot of walks!! Anytime I'm not home baking or hanging out with a friend I'm normally just out and about exploring my neighborhood. My set preference schedule is actually just for when I have to either go to the gym or when I schedule appointments because Mondays work easier. Your pets are the number one priority. If they require something and I am attending them I make sure it happens. Not only is your space respected when I watch them but also the pets space. Feeding times, walk routes, and any medical requirements and boundaries will be discussed because all situations are different. If something happens like say something fell or they went potty by accident I will clean it up no problem. A work space is better when it's clean but also when it's fun!!! I do bring things like cleaning baggies and lint rollers but I can also make sure any particular scents are avoided.

About: Hi! I’m J’Kiyah, a huge animal lover who has years of experience caring for dogs of family and friends. I love making sure pets feel safe( happy, and well cared for while away from their owners. As a college student with a flexible schedule, I have lots of availability for dog walks during the week. I enjoy getting outside for walks and exercise, so dog walking fits naturally into my daily routine. I do not currently offer boarding but in my home I walk, feed and play with my dog daily. I also help my friends with their pets.

FAQs for House Sitting - Benet Lake

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of July 2026, there are 1,622 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Benet Lake. 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 Benet Lake 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 Benet Lake 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 Benet Lake 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 with handling special pet needs in Benet Lake. On Rover:

  • 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% 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.
