“Kimberly stayed with our puppy, Charlie, for 4 days while we were out of town. She did a great job with him and our house! We felt so fortunate to have found Kimberly and her willingness to stay with Charlie, who had not been left alone for more than an hour. So we wanted to find someone who could be with him/ in the house for the vast majority of the time.”

“Leeah was amazing with our dog Coco. Coco requires a lot of love, attention, and play and Leeah was so good at providing that for our girl. Leeah was communicative, very respectful of our home, and arguably left it cleaner than we left her with it! Thanks again!! We will have her back anytime 😄”
“Jen was so wonderful with our two dogs. She was so good with both and was responsive and easy to work with. She also took very good care of our home while we were away. We would recommend Jen to others and will book her again if schedules allow.”

“Highly recommend! Shalindra provided a week of in-home care for our two dogs, a guinea pig and a gecko. She was delightful to work with. The dogs took to her very quickly, and she was affectionately patient with their unique/opposite personalities. I especially appreciated her daily photo and video updates, and how careful she was to ask questions and provide details on anything happening at the house. I felt confident all was well cared-for, and was truly able to enjoy the time away because Shalindra had everything covered at home.”

“Jessica was AMAZING with house sitting our pets!! She was very thorough with all the pets and extremely detailed oriented. She provided both written and photo updates of our 2 dogs and 3 cats daily and sometimes multiple times during the day. She would ask great questions while she was house sitting, and if I needed to reach out to her she was highly response. I would not hesitate asking Jessica to housesit again. Jessica is definitely a 5-star pet sitter and house sitter!”
About: I have always given my best to provide an experience that is hassle free, stress free and as worry free as possible, for both the pets; & the pet parents. I have worked with most breeds/sizes of cats/dogs, as well as a few different reptiles like corn snakes & bearded dragons, “not to mention” a couple birds from time to time such as parrots & parakeets; & I am very open minded about continuing to do so for any animal in need! Pet owners deserve someone dependable and willing to do their best each and every time their pet is cared for and that’s what I strive to bring to the table every single time. Locations and activities are subject to change depending on the animal and the requests made by each individual owner. I like to walk each dog through their own neighborhoods, when first getting to know them, to be sure there’s always a sense of comfort for them. Once we get to know each other and they trust me, I like to take them to local parks or local trails. If there are other dogs nearby, causing any distress or shortening the distance we cover, I will reroute and change plans if needed. One way or another, I will be sure to get their exercise and stimulation taken care of, so they are ready for a nap when they get home!
“We couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter! Heather did an exceptional job caring for our dog while we were away. She was attentive, reliable, and clearly treated him like their own. Our dog received great walks, plenty of care and attention, and we appreciated the detailed updates, notes, and pictures throughout the stay. Those thoughtful updates gave us complete peace of mind knowing he was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. It’s obvious that Heather genuinely loves animals and takes pride in providing excellent care. We would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter. We will definitely be using her again!”
“Teresa did a great job communicating and sending updates and photos of the pets. She asked thoughtful questions and followed directions for pet care. We knew they were in good hands! We came home to happy pets and clean sheets, which were so appreciated after our delayed flight! Thanks again!”
“Ana took such wonderful care of our two dogs and one cat while we were traveling! She played with them, took them for walks, and shared lots of pictures. I honestly think they had a better time with her than they have when we're home! Ani, thank you so much!”
About: I've been around animals most of my life, with my own dog and cat and often visiting my grandparents farm and seeing the animals there. Ive pet sat for a variety of dogs and cats before even a horse and understand the multitude of personalities that come with them. I find joy in getting to know your pet and take the time understanding their body language and hearing what they have to say! I am a flexable chill animal lover who enjoys spending time with a furry friend :) I have a very flexable schedule which gives me plenty of time to spend with your pet! Checking in for a walk or potty break is easy and can happen often! I always love going over your comfortably level and what you expect of me on the job! I appreciate finding out the lay of the land with your home and yard when house sitting/check ins and often take notes so ill remember!
About: I’ve been a babysitter and dog / cat sitter for as long as I can remember. I have really strong references for all. I’m used to palm sized dogs up to great danes! No dog too big or small :) I’m typically based in Paris, France, but am in Seattle awaiting my next visa. And in the meantime , i’m doing my 200hr yoga teacher certification that is 9a-4p on the weekends , so I’m very open Mon-Fri and can be flexible on the weekends. I have no pets at my house, but it’s very pet friendly as we used to have a dog and my sister brings her dog over occasionally. We have a fenced in yard and live by a lake for long walks.
The median cost per night for house sitting in Carnation is $65
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Carnation
Andrea was great. We had her come stay at our Airbnb while we took a fishing trip while visiting Washington. She took such great care of our baby so we could enjoy our fishing trip stress free. She kept me updated with picture throughout the trip so I wouldn’t be worried. Also, the day before she came by to do a meet a greet and make sure we were comfortable beforehand. All in all we had a great experience and I will definitely use rover again!
Kyli was a great sitter! My 2 cats were very well cared for and happy and healthy when I got home. They were comfortable around Kyli and she has a real love for animals. She checked in daily and sent cute pics. The house was clean and in great condition. She was responsive and communicative before, during and after the sit. I would absolutely recommend Kyli!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Carnation is $56 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $37 and $75 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 October 2026, there are 7,106 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Carnation. 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 Carnation 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 Carnation 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 Carnation 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.

- 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.
