“Sasha is so great with our two dogs. They love her energy and have so much fun when she’s around. She takes them on walks, takes excellent care of them, and gives regular updates! She is our go-to dog sitter currently!”
“Stacy always takes such great care of our pups!! We will continue to book through her and we feel so confident leaving for long stretches of days with her around! The pups love her and we get lots of picture updates as well which we love!!”
About: I’m the type of person who goes to a party and makes friends with the dog. My friends know I’m around when they see a blanket covering up their sleeping pup. My family has nicknamed me dog girl because I take on the challenge of caring for all of them during family functions. I have experience with dogs who need medication, eye drops, ear drops, or who have health issues. I work from home so I am able to hangout with your pet all day! I have a very flexible work schedule if appointments are needed. I prefer to care for dogs in my home but can watch in your home, let out during the day, and check on your home if away. At my home I leash all pets when letting them out. Dogs are allowed on my furniture, I even have a chair next to my work desk incase they want to lounge around on the job.
“Emma did a wonderful job watching my dog during the Christmas holiday! She was very communicative and sent me plenty of pictures and videos! He got plenty of cuddle time and I didn't have to worry about a thing. It was lovely to come back to a clean home and a happy well-cared for pup. I will definitely book Emma for my sitting needs in the future!”
About: I’ve been in the healthcare field for over 5 years. My specialty is taking care of those who can’t take care of themselves. I’ve been a boarder and sitter with Wag for over three years and have had my own pups in the past before I enlisted active duty. Being able to care for pups gives me so much joy as a single woman with no children. I love to go on walks, dog parks and will make sure your pup gets all the care and attention he or she needs including giving meds if needed, bathing, and even mail clipping upon request. I currently work full time in the navy so I do most of my boarding on weekends but I do have a roommate that works an opposite shift and helps walk, play with, and take the pups to go potty when I’m at work throughout the day. I wake up early to let the pups out, and walk them either to the park or around the complex after work, set play dates (if the pup likes other doggies) and walk them and take them out before I go to bed as well. I have a very large open living room and solarium that allows the pups to have their own space to play and run around when it’s raining outside and the park is not optional for play time. I also have a large kitchen area with enough space for pet bowls and beds and I do allow the pups to sleep in the bed if they prefer. I do not have any safety concerns as my home is pup-proof. I take frequent potty breaks and am a light sleeper. Most pups I have boarded know how to let me know when they need to go outside, and for those who don’t, I go on a set schedule right after feedings and every few hours (2-4) depending on the pups age. More frequently if they are still potty training. I do take the dogs to the dog park for play time, exercise and activities.
About: Flexible sitter/walker willing to meet and exceed pet owner’s expectations, always. I can work around your schedule to be there fully for your furry friend. As a pet owner myself, I understand a pet is a part of the family and deserve attention while loved ones are away. I am capable of working with your needs when it comes to any services such as dog walking, house sitting or boarding. I don’t have any concerns being there for your animal as needed. Let me know if any special requests are needed or questions come up and I’d be more than willing to do what I can! Thanks so much!
About: Have taken care of animals all my life! Grew up with ferrets and cats. Also use to dog walk when in middle school :) I have two dogs, a bearded dragon and 3 ferrets! I have raised rats, leopard geckos, and guinea pigs. I have experience in both puppies and senior dogs. Stay at home mom! Will follow all of your personal care instructions for your pet. Will take for walks, fed, and get energy burned and potty needs taken care of :) I am a work from home mom, so I am always home while In home boarding. I am free evenings and weekends as well. During the day throughout the week I am able to step out some times however may have a kid in tow. In my home, I have a fully fenced in back yard, and offer a safe and secure home. Dogs are supervised at all times or kenneled when not around. In your home, I will follow all care instructions.
About: I’ve been around animals since I was 8 years old, when my family adopted a miniature schnauzer. Even before then, we had everything from hamsters to fish and the like, kid pets, ya know? Following our dog’s passing, I’ve helped care for a senior cat that my parents had and also three different orange cats that my wife and I have shared over the last three years! Being a cat owner, there isn’t too much of my non-work daily or weekly schedule that isn’t taking care of them: cleaning the litter box, keeping their automatic feeder and water filled, giving them wet food and playing with them! Caring for your cats animals as I have in the past will fight right in with my schedule, and I can’t wait to work with you! I always make sure to take myself on a walk daily, and I’d love to take your best friend with me! I get in 1-2 miles daily, but I am willing to adjust this to fit your pets needs. In your home I’d love to feed, spend time and play with, and care for your pet.
About: A vacation for you .. but also for them!! My fiancé, Chris, and I have experience with puppies/training, giving medication, and it is always a fun time when we get to give baths! Growing up, my family had a Bishon Shitzu mix (aka Teddy Bear), and a giant Yellow Labrador. Chris had a Shitzu growing up. I accompanied our yellow lab, Ruger, to all of his puppy trainings. I was also a main caretaker for our teddy bear, Buster, while my parents were away for long periods at a time. We are loving of all pets (cats, fish, hamsters, etc.) and would love to watch them too! My fiancé and I want a dog in the near future but with our schedules and where we are at in life right now it is much better to spoil your furry ones instead!! We usually do requests together so that your loved ones always have attention from at least one of us! We have opposite schedules so if one of us is not available, the other one usually is! Feel free to ask my any questions that you may have!! I currently work as a full-time RN which entails three 12-hr shifts a week. However, my schedule can be very flexible on when you would like me to stop by, and I love going on walks so that is always a priority in my day .. I would love for your fluffy friend to join me! Chris is a project engineer which takes up most of his time during the week. However, his weekends are free if I were to have to work. Whatever your routine is with your pet, we will follow! Whatever we can do to adapt and make your pet more comfortable is what we will do! Your rules are our rules so that you do not have to worry about your pet losing the training that you have worked on for so long! Don’t be shy with preferences, we are here to make you feel comfortable while you are away!
“Hannah was fantastic! She helped us out very last minute, punctual and reliable. She took excellent care of our Louie and Lily and gave us frequent updates. We can’t wait to have her come back!”
“Rowan was a fantastic dog sitter. He was very friendly and accommodating and kept up really great communication. Our dog was very well cared for and we will absolutely be looking to hire him again.”
“Anna and her husband watched all four of our pups for over a week and did a fantastic job caring for them and paying close attention to their individual needs. Anna was easy to book and work with. We would love to have her and her husband watch our pups in the future!”
“Desiree took such great care of my boy. She followed all directions that was given such as administering eye medication. She took him to get groomed as an added bonus without me asking. She was willing to meet prior to do an introduction which was greatly appreciated. Desiree provided me with pictures and updates during the stay. I will be booking with her again in the future. I think my dog gained a new friend 🧡”
About: I've grown up with pets all my life. I had a dog and a cat as a kid and teen along with fish and reptiles. I currently have a beautiful cat now. I love being around animals and taking care of them. Brightens my whole day when I can just cuddle with my fur babies. Every morning I clean my cats bowls and refill them with water and dry food and I also give my cat wet food in the morning. I clean the litter pan twice a day as well. When I had a dog same thing except I would walk him twice a day and take him out to potty every 2-4 hours. Have a large back yard with posts to keep pets leashed but enough to roam the yard. I have a dog park within minutes from my home too! If you want your fur baby in a crate I have room to put crates up.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Combined Locks
Stacy provided great care for our two dogs. My older dog developed a hot spot while we were gone and Stacy went above and beyond to care for her. She even brought her own cone to use to stop the licking. She kept the house tidy and clean, brought in our mail and even did some light plant watering. And the pups were happy which is the most important part. I would define my recommend her.
Gavin was great! My cats are notoriously shy with new people. Gavin made the effort to find them in their hiding spots to make sure they were okay and then gave them their space to let them warm up on their own terms. I felt very comfortable leaving my cats in Gavin’s care and would love for him to watch them again.
Aisha was so thoughtful and intentional with the way she took care of our pups and we are so appreciative of her time. I also really appreciated the pictures and updates I got throughout her stay as well. I could tell that my dogs were happy and well cared for and that helped me relax and enjoy my trip.

The average cost of House Sitting in Combined Locks is $52 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $34 and $69 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 Combined Locks 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 Combined Locks 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 Combined Locks 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.
