“We have three pups and our oldest has a medical protocol, so finding a way to attend a family event cross country was pretty stressful. Then we found Timea. Our pups excelled with her, her care and communications were wonderful. The pups often get anxious when we are gone and they all did wonderful and were so calm when we returned. She customized care for each pup, walking the big one, cuddling the needy one and top notch medical care for the oldest. I highly recommend Timea for excellent pup care.”
“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’ve enjoyed walking dogs in my Seattle neighborhood since I was a teen. Any opportunity to exercise and be around pets is a time I can’t pass up! I do not mind long walks or jogging, so if you prefer a longer walk time for your pet that is no issue. I’m currently working part time and will soon begin going back to college in the fall part time as well. I have a very flexible work schedule, weight to shed, and a genuine love for animals, so I thought I’d try Rover out 😄 I would not be able to have pets in my own home, but I will gladly prepare your pet for a walk or feed him/her in your home if you are comfortable. I am also comfortable sitting at your place! I have worked with dogs as young as 5 months, and up to 12 years old. I know how to stimulate a young pup, making sure I read their energy in order to provide them with the fitness they need. On the flip side, I understand the hands on care, assistance, and supervision (quite literally have to be their eyes sometimes) an elderly dog requires. You can trust with me with your pet during all of their life stages.
“Great experience! Autumn came out on her own time beforehand to get to know our pets and their needs. Everyone was happy and healthy upon our return! Will definitely call her again!”
“Kimberly was exceptional. One of our two dogs became very sick while we were away and she coordinates getting him the emergency without complaint. Considering the mess she had to clean, she went above and beyond. Communication was excellent and she left the house clean. We would highly recommend her and use her again!”
“Brandy was amazing with our dog, River, and cat, Reese! She sent lots of photos and updates, gave River his meds perfectly, and took such great care of both of them. We even had a scheduling mix-up on our end, and Brandy was so kind, flexible, and understanding.”
“Barbara was fantastic! She did an amazing job taking care of our two dogs and aquarium. One of our dogs is very nervous around new people and by the end of Barbara's stay, the dog was comfortable with her. She provide updates daily and did not hesitate when any instructions were unclear. I will definitely book with Barbara again.”
“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!”
“Our second time with Alona and it won’t be our last. She is the best. Takes care of our home and our boys and we are able to have that weight off our shoulders while enjoying family vacations. She celebrated one of our boys birthdays and sent us updates around the clock. We came home to a tidy house and happy tired pups. Can’t ask for anything better!!”
“Ben was great at keeping up with our pets scheduled feeding and walking times. He stayed at our place and kept the place clean and followed all instructions. He provided daily updates and photos while we were away! I would recommend him to anyone looking for a sitter!”
“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!”
“Gaby was great! Mack took to her instantly and she was amazing with him. Gave great updates throughout the stay and checked in with me when he was feeling a little off and helped through that. Very communicative. Would absolutely have her sit again!”
“First time Yali stayed at our house and she was great! Communicated well, sent pictures and videos. You can tell how much she loves animals and caring for them. Thank you Yali for your care of our pups, you allowed us to have such a piece of mind while we were away”
“Margaret was fantastic! She handled a tough assignment (puppy for a week) with apparent ease. Great communication and regular updates throughout the stay. We returned home to a very happy pup and a clean well maintained home! 10/10 for sure.”
“Kira was an amazing dog sitter! One of our dogs has separation anxiety, and Kira did a great job keeping her calm and cared for. They also asked a lot of great questions to make sure they had all of the information they needed about our dogs while we were gone. They sent us pictures of the dogs and gave status updates while we were gone which was really appreciated! They were very flexible with time too, I was able to book them with just a few days notice, and had to stay out later than expected which was no problem for them. Overall it was a great experience, our pups seemed very happy. Thanks Kira! <3”
“Zachory was incredible while watching our husky and staying at our house. He not only took amazing care of our dog, but also our home. He left the house absolutely spotless and went above and beyond in many ways. Highly recommend!”
“Robert was ABSOLUTELY fabulous! He was patient, thoughtful, and really communicative. From the moment we requested a sitter until after the service was complete, he was swift to respond, sent lots of pictures, and kept us updated on all the pet care rituals. He did not flinch when the breaker needed to be reset during a housesit, and he took such wonderful care of our tankgirl, Bailey. 5 stars, 2 thumbs way up, and a 3 snaps in Z formation! Highly recommend.”
“Carissa is the best!! Incredibly kind, communicative, flexible, made sure to understand all the care needs of my dog and sent picture updates throughout the time. Highly recommend and would book again!!”
“I unfortunately didn’t have service for our trip. And being a helicopter mom it scared me BUT Michael did great, even sent me pictures of them, even though i didn’t have service i appreciated them once i received them❤️ I will 100% book again in the future and also recommend!!”

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 for House Sitting in Carnation on Rover is $54.5 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 7,298 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 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.
