“Erika provided incredible care as she watched our two pups for several nights. We appreciate the great communication and ample pictures. Highly recommend!”
“Laura was such a gift to us as we were traveling during the holidays, and hoped for someone who would be sweet and loving to our fur babies. She kept our house in tip top shape, followed all of our instructions and gave us lots of updates every day. We were able to enjoy our trip knowing our babies were in very good hands. Thank you so much Laura!!”

“A pet sitting angel! I was freaking out because of a last minute cancellation from another sitter, but Alex came to my rescue and took over the booking. Turns out that the other sitter cancelling was the best thing that could have happened because Alex is everything I could ever want from a sitter. They were incredibly responsive to my messages, they gave frequent updates throughout the day complete with photos, they administered medication to both my cats, they went above and beyond to even clean up the place while I was away…but most importantly, my boys seemed to absolutely adore them! Absolutely a 10/10 ✨”
“Francis is simply the best dog sitter we’ve ever had! He provided daily pupdates, clearly bonded with our dog, and left our house in immaculate shape. We’d trust him to watch our dog anytime!”
“Carmen was wonderful! She was responsive, thorough and sent good updates and pictures. It was calming to trust her with my fur babies and some of their specific needs.”
“Our three cats were happy and the garden and house were well cared for. Danielle was easy to communicate with. I would definitely call on her again when I have the need for a house sitter.”
About: I have grown up with cats and dogs my whole life. Also, I have been trusted to check on my neighbor's pets. I have volunteered at a local animal shelter where I fed cats and dogs. Also I walked the dogs. I'm currently taking college classes part time, so I have plenty of time to stop by and care for your pets. Also, helping others always makes my day. I keep track of how often a pet needs to be feed and always check their water. Also, I pet them and say hi if they are friendly or give them space if they are shy. When walking a dog I make sure their leash is secure and their collar comfortable. Safety and organization is my priority. I keep notes on an individual pet's needs.
“So happy to say I came home to a happy dog and a beautifully clean home. Lucinda sent pictures of Sam and kept me informed all the way along. I certainly will use Lucinda again. I highly recommend her if you’re looking for someone to take care of your animals.”
About: Hi, I’m Marci, and I’m your dog’s second best friend! I'm a licensed massage therapist for people, horses and dogs. I'm very intuitive, nurturing and compassionate, and I have been a dog owner for the past 20 years. I work from home part time so I'm home every day, which means I can hang out with your dog all day! I love just about everything about dogs, from the way they curiously sniff the air during walks, to when they eagerly nudge my hand for a pet or massage. I treat all animals like family, and make sure they have what they need and want. If you leave your dog with me, you can rest assured they will be pampered with plenty of love, affection, and patience. I also know canine CPR and have basic medical skills. My goal is to provide a safe, trusted and loving environment for your pet so you wont have to worry while you're away. For additional peace of mind all dogs in our care will wear a GPS collar that can be tracked at all times. I truly feel that dogs are like people -- they are each unique and special in their own way! I would love to know what makes your dog different and unique, down to those hidden quirks and personality traits. Dogs bring out the best in me: my compassion, empathy, love, and encouragement all improve when I spend time with furry friends of all shapes, sizes, and breeds. I promise to shower your dog with all these things, and more! If your dog loves the outdoors, exploration, and long walks, then I’m the right sitter for your! I love to hike and horseback ride on my horse. I love to take my dogs to new places and introduce them to new experiences. One of my favorite seasons is summer, just because I can spend more time outside. However, the cold fall and winter weather means I get to snuggle up with your dog indoors -- either way, it’s a win! In addition to dogs, I have experience with horses, cats, gerbils, rats, hamsters, and birds. I am here to make whatever pet you have feel comfortable, but you’re my client, too! Let me know what you need to feel comfortable leaving your pet with me, including how many updates you would like. I’d love to meet you and your pet, so please contact me to set up a Meet and Greet. I’m sure we’ll be fast friends in no time.
“Alyssa was amazing with my dog Auggie! He absolutely adored getting all the attention while I was gone, and she did such an amazing job communicating with me and keeping me up to date on what he was up to, along with great photos. Would love to have her back!”
“Tori watched our dogs while I was traveling for work. Every day when my wife came home, our dogs were relaxed and calm. That means so much to us! It was clear that Tori earned their trust, and has certainly earned ours, as well. Thank you for your conscientiousness with Carmen and Pasquali's medications. We'd be glad to recommend you and have you over to dogsit again!”
“Vivian was amazing! She was extremely responsive and gave me lots of updates throughout her stay with our animals. We got multiple picture updates each day and I felt very confident our animals were in great hands.”
About: My own dog recently passed away at the age of 20, so I am an expert in care for Senior Pets and Special Needs (blindness, deafness, etc), and a calm and patient sitter for anxious dogs. I am very experienced with medication and specialized diets. Your pet will have a wonderful time in my care! I run my own businesses and am very flexible at the current time to care for your pets! I can even bring my work with me on occasion if needed. I am very respectful of your space and often take dogs out to the park or somewhere outdoors to play if there is no yard. Your animals will get plenty of playtime and love, and I value staying in close communication should any issues arise!
About: I am a proud cat mom! I’ve also taken care of dogs since when I was a kid. I just have so much love for animals, I treat them with love and respect, because they deserve it! 💖 I have a part-time job and small business on the side (making press-on nails) I have a lot of extra time and I would love to spend it with the hobby that I enjoy and love which is taking care of animals! I can reassure you that I will provide the best care for your pet because I have a furbabies of my own. I will love and take of your pet just like how I take care of mine.
“Jung is very kind and communicative! She was so understanding of changes in my schedule and was flexible with dates. She communicated any questions or concerns quickly and efficiently. My kitties loved her, even my shy kitty would make an appearance. I can’t recommend her enough!”
“Cole was amazing! He was very communicative throughout his stay and our home/dogs are in great shape. We were gone one whole week and Cole made sure to communicate to us everyday how everything was going. We had peace of mind while we were away.”
“Shawn was great with our little Strudel while we were away for 4 days! He sent pictures daily and gave us piece of mind that Strudel was safe and cared for. Would definitely recommend Shawn for House Sitting!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Cedar Mill
Laura is a sweetheart! She stayed at our home and took care of our older golden, along with our rambunctious 6 month old puppy for 4 nights. She gave us regular updates, went the extra mile to ensure they had exercise, and we came home to everything in order! Highly recommend her for your furry loved ones!
Oh boy what a great experience ! Craig was amazing for us. A very good communicator, super personable, and a natural with the dogs. Echo and Shadow can be troublesome, but they took to Craig right from the start. Craig kept us informed , sent us pictures, and kept our house as clean as could be. I think it was cleaner when we got home than when we left. Thank you kind sir, we plan on using you for the foreseeable future !!!
Alison is a wonderful, responsible dogsitter. I could tell when I got back that my dog was very well taken care of. Amber is a senior dog and I had no worries leaving her to Alison’s competent care. She stayed in my home and took care of it perfectly too. Highly recommend!
Alexis was hands down the best sitter we’ve had. She gives updates twice a day with several photos so you can see how your babies are doing. We have 3 dogs and 3 cats, which can be quite a lot, but she handled it seamlessly and took great care of all of them. Will definitely rebook when we need care again!
Alyssa was absolutely amazing! Her communication was consistent and really allowed us to enjoy our time away knowing our dog was well cared for. She sent tons of photos and little messages about how he was doing. She was attentive to details and also left our house so clean. We came back to a very relaxed and happy dog. Would highly recommend her!!
Wendi did such an excellent job! She was communicative, adaptable to our schedule changes, and took such wonderful care of our fur babies! We came home to happy and healthy animals. We couldn’t ask for a better sitter. We would love the opportunity to have her sit for us again!

FAQs for House Sitting - Cedar Mill
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Cedar Mill is $56 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $37 and $95 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 November 2026, there are 4,577 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Cedar Mill. 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 Cedar Mill 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 Cedar Mill 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 Cedar Mill 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Cedar Mill. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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.
