“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.”
“We found Nancy when our usual sitters were occupied. She is wonderful. She paid AKI her full attention during the meet and greet, and then kept her fed and entertained during the overnight. She did a couple of texts and pics to assure us. We would use Nancy again.”
About: The holidays are coming up which means family reunions and events. What is better than giving your cats the care they deserve without having them leave the comfort of home? You won’t have to worry with me there to take care of them! I have grown up around cats and started to learn to care for them at a young age. I have 17 years of experience caring for my family’s 3 cats and about 5 of those years made me a pro at administering medicines. I have experience with severely sick cats, including using a feeding tube to administer food, water, and medicines on a strict schedule. I also have experience with administering intravenous fluids and injecting insulin. I am currently working a full time remote job. I will be available throughout the week for house sitting. For drop ins, I’m available on weekdays during morning and evenings and all day Saturday and Sunday. I will make sure that I enter and leave your house securely. I will double check all doors are locked and alarms are on before I leave! I will leave your house with no pet mess or accidents. I will make sure everything is taken care of for you so you don't have to worry about your home! I will make sure that all litter bags and garbage will be taken out before I leave. I will also make sure to wash pet food and water bowls before leaving.
“Tyler took wonderful care of our dog and kept her company and kept her safe during the fireworks for the holiday! We will be happy to have him stay with her again :)”
“Veronika was great with Baxter. He was happy to see us but we could tell he was well loved and cared for by her. She sent pics and expressed a small concern (which we appreciated ) but turned out just fine. When we returned, it was like he was looking for her to walk in with us. We will definitely book her again.”
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!
“Charlotte was the perfect house guest and we would gladly have her watch our house and Arlo again. She was very responsive, sent photos, and took Arlo for long walks. Super grateful that we found her as last minute as we did and would highly recommend.”
“Danayt took wonderful care of my dog and house, and I would definitely hire her again! She sent lots of updates about how my dog was doing and was very professional and friendly. She even cleaned up the house before I returned. I highly recommend her!”
“Katie was absolutely incredible with our boys! She was communicative, timely, and professional. She both exercised our active dog and made cuddle time for our gentler dog. Really appreciated her helping us over the weekend and highly recommend!”
“Bricca did a wonderful job watching my 3 senior dogs that require a lot of care!! I came back to a clean house and happy pups/kitties! She sent plenty of picture updates while I was on my trip, so I didn't feel stressed about my fur kids while I was gone. She was also very accommodating as far as key pick up and drop off and was easily reachable over the phone! I would highly recommend Bricca!!!”
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.
“Cindy watched my dog for a weekend and did an excellent job! She was highly communicative, sent lots of pictures, and was very adaptable with my timeline that changed a lot in the days leading up to my trip. Would highly recommend her for any pet care!”
About: I've been the dog whisperer ever since I was a child. When I walk into a dog bark most dogs will walk up to me on unannounced and say hi. Same thing with cats. I love animals. I work 100% remote so I have time to do dog visits and walks etc. I have nights free as well. I am up early and ready to go. I live on the 4th floor of a 7 floor apartment that has a dog washing station, so if you need your dog washed I can help you with that. It's also secure with a passcode to get into the building. Very safe and secure
“Dalainee did an amazing job house sitting and taking care of all of our pets while we were away. She followed all of their feeding and medication instructions, kept us updated, and made sure everyone was well cared for. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing our animals and home were in good hands. She is responsible, dependable, and truly cares about the animals she looks after. We would absolutely trust her to house sit and care for our pets again. Highly recommend!”
“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!!”
“Elisa takes great care of my little guys and home when I have to go out of town, whether it's for the night or a few weeks. When I get home everyone is happy and healthy! The house always looks great too!”

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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
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. 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.

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.
