“Jennifer stayed at our house for 10 days and was fantastic with our cat, dog, guinea pig, and rats. She sent photos every day of my pets snuggling in bed with her or sitting out on the back porch drinking coffee. I am very picky about who is allowed to watch my pet children, and Jennifer is absolutely amazing.”
“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.”
“Lindsey was house sitting with our cat for 2 nights and we were really happy with the experience. Our cat gets stressed when we are away so finding someone who would give her attention and who we could trust was important to us. The meet and greet already gave us a good feeling. Lindsey asked great questions about the cat's routine and needs, you could tell she actually cares. While we were away she sent us regular updates and photos without us asking, which made it so easy to switch off and enjoy our trip. Knowing our cat was in good hands made a big difference. We came back to a happy cat and a clean house. Can't ask for more than that. We will definitely use Lindsey again and would recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter who genuinely cares about your pet.”
About: I am a detail oriented sitter and I care about sticking to the care plan. I like playing with pets, so they're sure to get enough exercise! I am a cat owner, so it is part of my daily routine to take care of them. Pets are a priority, especially when it comes to feeding properly. I live in an apartment and have indoor cats. They receive a kibble for indoor cats and water daily as needed. They each have their own litter box in different rooms. I have a variety of toys for them.
“I cannot say enough good things about how Brandy took care of our dog. She is caring and really bonded with Abbey. Her daily photos were a source of great comfort for us as we traveled, knowing Abbey was in such good hands. Also, she left the house in wonderful shape - vacuumed the whole house and everything was shipshape. We will definitely use Brandy again when we travel.”
“Maryna took great care of our cats. We had a tough situation for her. Our cats had been having some behavioral issues and we had to make last minute adjustments to their care. She handled it all really easily. We also have a very shy cat that has asthma. I was thinking he wouldn’t let her give him his inhaler for days, but she was able to coax him out of hiding within 24 hours and give him his inhaler. She was great with communication and handled our tricky situation with grace and professionalism.”
About: What sets me apart is my ability to adapt my energy and approach to fit any pet. Whether it's high-energy active play for dogs or calm, patient companionship for cats, I tune in closely to each animal's unique personality. Backed by my professional reliability and clear communication, you can count on me for meticulous care, punctuality, and treating every pet like family—no matter the species! My days are naturally centered around active movement and consistent routines, making it easy to integrate long walks, play sessions, and dedicated pet care seamlessly into my schedule. When caring for pets in your space, I focus on keeping their routine as normal as possible. Whether it’s an energetic walk, indoor play, feeding, or medication administration, I arrive punctual and prepared, ensuring your home is respected and your pets are safe, happy, and stimulated.
About: I’ve been taking care of my dog buddy since I was 15, my cats since I was 14 and I used to take care of my neighbors dog, I use he/him pronouns. I pet sit for members of my family and people around the neighborhood, my hours are flexible I’m able to meet requirements of any family or client. I would always make sure the animal I’m taking care of is fed, hydrated and taken out for the bathroom or walks, I’m fully backgrounded and have very good references.
About: Hello! I have been caring for animals and people for most of my life, and it is my passion. I raised my dog from puppyhood, and have over a decade of experience with pets ranging from babies-seniors with all types of specific required care. What sets me apart from many other caregivers is my ability to make genuine connection with people and pets, providing a safe, secure, and loving environment. I come highly recommended from the different families I have pet/house sat for, and I make it a priority to leave every space I enter nicer than I found it. I am a part-time student with a very flexible schedule and the ability to stay overnight. I live with my family and our two dogs north of Seattle and I have an electric car with a seat protector in the back for adventures with furry friends! I have experience caring for a variety of animals in a variety of homes and apartments. When my dog was a puppy, we had a fenced in area of the kitchen for him and his brother to aid in easy cleanup, and plenty of space for play. I crate-trained my dog, and made it a cozy space for him to relax in any time he needs. I've cared for senior dogs and cats who have medication schedules and other special needs. In some homes that I've pet-sat in, there was designated furniture to cuddle pets on, while in others, their furry friends had free range of the home. I am capable of providing love, joy, and security, to pets in any environment. My father did professional carpet cleaning while in college and has taught me his tips and tricks, so I am well-equipped to handle puppy/senior accidents with supplies that your home may have.
“Kristy was phenomenal!! My dog, Mochi, was clearly very well taken care of, along with my house. Kristy provided multiple updates throughout the day, was very thorough in her questions about care, and was always responsive. Mochi can be quite reactive to other dogs and Kristy did a great job managing this and letting him have fun on walks. It was truly so nice to have peace of mind during my time away - including over 4th of July! Will be booking again for sure and would highly recommend : )”
“Carlynn was literally the best dog sitter I have ever had. Not only did she make sure my pet was comfortable and well taken care of, she also made sure to leave my apartment in even BETTER condition that when we left! I would rebook her a million times over! Highly, highly recommended her!”
“She's fantastic! The puppies loved her! She sent many pictures and did a great job especially with my old Girl who has potty problems from meds! I will book her again!”
“Julianne was a great house sitter / pet sitter for our kitty. She cared for him during a nearly 3 week vacation in May 2024. She stayed in communication with us throughout the trip and always gave me a sense that our cat was cared for with affection and love. Took great care of our house and yard which doesn’t require a whole lot but was a comfort while we were away. I especially appreciated that Julianne is retired and could really spend most of her time here. Highly recommended!”
“Bricca is awesome! She watched my dog and my home for a week and provided daily pics of Poppy for me. She’s an excellent communicator. The house was just as I’d left it and she laundered everything she used. Would definitely hire her again!”
“Jessi is the person you want watching your pet! She treats them as if they’re her own. My dog (Peaches) has separation anxiety but I know that when I leave her with Jessi that she is safe, happy, and cared for as if she were family. She sends as many photos and videos as you ask for and often sends them without being asked, which is always a lovely surprise! Peaches is always so excited to see Jessi! It’s apparent that Jessi takes time to build relationships of trust and love with the pets she cares for. Jessi takes Peaches for long walks, plays fetch, tug-of-war, and gives all the scritches and cuddles (which Peaches loves!). Jessi is attentive to Peaches needs, careful to adjust care as needed and when requested. When we pick Peaches up she’s relaxed, happy, and looks well taken care of! Couldn’t recommend Jessi more and we will continue to use her in the future!”
“Beau went so far past above and beyond that they’ll need to find a new phrase. They felt the full brunt of Murphy’s law and handled it with incredible professionalism, compassion, and good humor. Our huge puppy took every chance to play the rebellious teenager while we were out of town, and I can’t believe this is a sentence I’m writing, but Beau was carpenter as well as animal caregiver as they repaired a surprise gap in our fence after going on a wild dog chase around the neighborhood. It’s obvious that Beau loves animals and takes their job very seriously. I don’t know how they had time to tidy the house, do laundry, and empty the dishwasher while chasing our monster around during his various joy rides, but they did. 100/10, would insist you hire them.”
“Jiani was an amazing rover during our time away. She was super responsive, communicative and proactive in her updates to us while we were away. We felt confident that everting was taken care of, and would be happy to work with Jiani again in the future.”

Katie is truly the best dog sitter we could ever ask for. She is incredibly communicative and genuinely caring, and she takes amazing care of our dog, Winston. While we’re away, she sends lots of photos and updates, which helps us relax knowing he’s happy and loved. She treats Winston like her own; cuddling him, giving endless pets, and making sure he feels safe and comfortable. On top of that, she kept our house absolutely perfect and even went the extra mile to make our return home feel special. We trust Katie completely and feel so lucky to have found her. Highly, highly recommend!

The average cost of House Sitting in Echo Lake is $69 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $31 and $82 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 Echo Lake 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 Echo Lake 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 Echo Lake 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.
