“Tammy allowed us to fully enjoy our vacation knowing our pup was in excellent care. She sent us daily pics of their day together, followed his daily routine and was fully committed to the care and comfort of Tank. I would give Tammy 6 stars if I could.”

About: Hi! I’m a high school teacher and lifelong animal lover with experience caring for both cats and dogs. Friends, neighbors, and family have trusted me over the years to help care for their fur babies, whether that means feeding, walks, playtime, companionship, or simply helping pets feel safe and comfortable while their humans are away. I’m calm, dependable, highly detail-oriented, and understand how important routines and communication are when it comes to pet care. I’m especially comfortable with cats and small to medium-sized dogs, and I’m always happy to provide updates and photos so you can feel at ease while you’re away, or just so you can see their sweet little face. As a pet owner myself, I know how important it is to find someone truly trustworthy, attentive, and kind to care for your furry family members. As a high school teacher, my schedule is very routine-oriented, which makes me dependable and organized when caring for pets. During the school year, I’m generally available evenings, weekends, holidays, and school breaks, with more flexible availability during the summer months. I do my best to work with each pet’s established routine so they can feel comfortable, safe, loved, and cared for while you’re away. I understand how important it is to find someone trustworthy, attentive, and respectful to care for your fur babies and your home. I approach each pet based on their individual personality, comfort level, and routine, whether they’re highly social and energetic or more shy and independent. I’m highly detail-oriented, dependable, and always respectful of feeding schedules, medication instructions, boundaries, and household expectations. I’m also happy to provide regular updates and photos so you can feel at ease while you’re away, while still getting a glimpse of their sweet little face.
“Anastasia was wonderful! We will absolutely use her to watch our dog again. She was proactive about sending us pictures and updates. We felt confident our entire time away that our dog was in good hands and being well cared for. :)”
“Megan did an amazing job taking care of our dog, Paco! She kept me updated throughout the stay with regular pictures and messages, which really gave me peace of mind. I could tell Paco was happy and well cared for. I recommend Megan to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter!”
“Jade is a wonderful dog sitter. She takes great care of our dogs when we are away and they adore her. She is always a great communicator and we never have to worry about leaving them. We look forward to using her in the future. :)”
“Lori was incredibly thoughtful, both leading up to the stay and during. She is kind and organized, provided lots of updates and photos, and took great care of both my boy and my home. I will absolutely book with her again!”
“My kitties are my children, and so leaving them for a weekend is always a bit nerve-wrecking for me. Thankfully I found Gabriel (last minute, too!) and he immediately made me feel relaxed and confident that Weebs and Girl would be taken care of! He sent me multiple pictures, always communicated with me, and left the place nice and tidy (despite our sometimes messy little kitties!) Gabriel is a wonderful person and I will definitely be asking him to come back!”
About: I've been taking care of animals my whole life! I have a big heart for dogs, especially. I have two dogs, Scooter & Rocco, & have very little time in my life without one. I am more than happy to bring your dog to my place to hang out with my boys. I can do walks & doggy play dates! I'd also be willing to stay at your place for longer periods & during the week if I could bring my two boys with me! I have trained Scooter to be an ESA with additional tasks & a therapy dog. I work full time & have a very flexible schedule. I can pop in during the work day & work from home when needed! I have free time on weekends & some evenings, so if you work odd hours, I'm more than happy to stop by & feed, get out for a walk, & such! I always follow house rules. I generally ensure that gates are shut, collars are on, leashes are secure. I will treat your babies like my own & I do not play about my boys.
About: I’ve always had dogs growing up, dogs that have complicated medical needs to dogs that are lax and can do everything on their own. I’ve always grown up with cats as well as a plethora of other animals including fish, lizards, birds, and frogs. I’ve housesat for multiple people over the years and have received much positive feedback! I’m working evening at a restaurant from 3pm to 8pm, so it doesn’t cause much shift in my capability to care for your furry friends! I am more than happy to stay at your place in caring for your pets or if easier/preferred, I can stop by intermittently throughout the day to give your pet the care it needs.
About: I've never not had a pet growing up, they were my responsibility in order to keep the pet it's harder to see a animal hurt then a human. I currently am looking for a full time job but this was a perfect opportunity to become more active and to meet possibly fall in love with more pets I will not be able to take in your pet cause my home is just not big enough but I most definitely wouldn't be opposed to going to their house, will respect you your home and your pet, Go through expectations and responsibilities
About: Hi! My goal is to treat your pets as my own for however long you are gone. I like taking goofy pictures, and giving lots of good snuggles to your pets. I’m currently a student at WWU, home on breaks. I won’t leave pets alone for more than 3-4 hours often and if I did have to I’d have someone else come check on the pets. When pets are staying with me, they get access to our fenced in back yard but are always supervised when outside. They also get to sleep in my bed if they choose or their own bed if more comfortable that way. They are allowed on couch for more snuggles. And lots of treats.
About: I’ve have tons of experience, patience, and love. I've always had pets to care for and think they are a part of the family! I currently have one fur baby, a dog named Lily. I work from home and make my own schedule, so your pet wouldn't be left alone. I walk, run, or hike everyday. Your pampered pup would gets lots of exercise and attention! As well as a new fur friend in my dog Lily. I will make sure your pet is getting the care that it needs with food, water, cuddles, medicine, and exercise. I'm happy to provide update pictures, while you're away.
“Caring, responsive, and attention to detail are all words I would use to describe Kat. I can be very high maintenance and she not only took everything I noted into account but made me feel so comfortable with our home and pups. And of course, our dogs loved her! Would highly recommend!”
“Madison was excellent. I couldn’t have ask for a better care person for my animals. She kept me updated and sent lots of pictures. I had a newly rescued dog that needed lots of love and she was amazing with her. My other dog is very active and most happy running. She was able to keep him happy as well. Madison is highly recommended!!!”
“Kayleen is incredible! The dogs instantly took a liking to her. She took the best care of our dogs and our house while we were gone. Her communication was top notch! We cannot wait to continue using her in the future.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Blaine
This was the first time leaving our 5 month old puppy with a “stranger” but Linden took to Kayla straight away during the meet and greet so I knew I had nothing to worry about. Kayla sent lots of pictures through the day and evening and kept me updated on how he was doing. It was very reassuring and I will definitely book again. Thank you so much Kayla!
Tammy was a FANTASTIC home caretaker and dog sitter for Nelson during a recent 23 night stay in our home. Tammy was very attentive and adaptable to Nelson’s unique needs and daily routine. Tammy provided frequent updates and pictures of Nelson throughout the stay. She was also super communicative and responsive when I reached out to check-in. My spouse and I are so appreciative of Tammy’s kindness and the excellent care she took of our home while we were away. Tammy gave me so much piece of mind with her expert care. I would rebook Tammy without hesitation. Tammy was simply the BEST!!! A 5-star rating isn’t enough; 10 out of 10!! Highly recommend! THANK YOU, TAMMY!

The average cost of House Sitting in Blaine is $44 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $44 and $53 per night.

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 Blaine 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 Blaine 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 Blaine 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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
