“Maya was absolutely wonderful and took such great care of our two dogs! We had just moved to the area, and we were very worried about leaving our dogs alone for the first time and in a completely new place, especially because they are very anxious and always have someone home with them. But the dogs absolutely loved Maya and warmed up to her quickly! She was very communicative and sent us lots of pictures, and the house was spotless when we returned. We will definitely be booking with her again in the future as needed”
“I’m thrilled to have found Dylan after our previous sitter moved. He gave lots of updates on my cat and when I came back the cat was calm and relaxed. I will definitely book with him again and do recommend him to others.”
About: I grew up caring for my family’s cats and dogs, and I currently have two cats of my own. I also spent six months at a dog boarding and training facility, where I cared for dogs of all sizes, personalities, and needs. During that time, I gained hands-on experience with everything from dogs who were learning how to walk on a leash for the first time to dogs who struggled with fear, reactivity, and aggression towards people or other dogs. I learned the importance of patience, consistency, trust, and meeting each dog where they are. I’m also the go-to pet sitter for friends and regularly provide in-home stay, caring for multiple pets at a time. Whether your pet needs a little extra patience, lots of playtime, or simply a calm and loving presence, I’m committed to making them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. As a pet owner myself, I understand how hard it can be to leave your pet behind. I’ll treat them like my own and do everything I can to give you peace of mind while you’re away. I work a flexible full-time hybrid job, which allows me to offer a wide range of availability throughout the week. I’m available for daytime visits, walks, and overnight stays, with weekend availability when scheduled in advance. I’m happy to work with your pet’s routine and provide consistent, attentive care. When caring for pets in your home, I’ll maintain their normal routine, provide plenty of love and attention, and keep their space clean and comfortable. I’ll treat your home with the same care and respect I give my own.
“Marcie charmed my challenging dog in minutes. I received multiple updates and now they are best friends. Highly recommend! I will have her housesit again.”
“John watched our rambunctious 80 pound German Shepherd for the first time and he had great communication with us the entire time which eased my anxiety of leaving her with a new person. He got to the house exactly when he said he would and spent the entire day hanging out with her. Everything went really smoothly and we will definitely use him again because he is reliable and a good communicator.”
“Juan was great with our big fur-baby Tristin! Juan took Tristin on a few adventures while we were gone. When I was getting my post vacation snuggles with Tristin he told me it was fun to be a big boy dog while mom and dad were on vacation. 🐾❤️”
“Annie took great care of Desmond and our home while we were away for an overnight trip. She sent us photos of our happy boy and was very communicative. We will definitely book Annie again and highly recommend her!”
“Michelle is a gem! Our dogs loved her and she did an amazing job caring for our pups while we were out of town. She also went above and beyond to clean up after the dogs also. Our home and our pets were in great hands. The peace of mind that comes from hiring the right person to care for your pets is priceless. We are very grateful to Michelle and will not hesitate to hire her again.”
“Zoe has watched our pets twice now, and she has been fantastic with them. She was also great at being flexible when our plans had to shift several times due to schedule changes and a wild fire in the way.”
“Mary has stayed with our dog multiple times, and it has been great! She also takes great care while house sitting and provide great communication. We will continue booking her in the future and recommend her highly!”
“Thanks for taking care of Elms while I was away. He was happy and relaxed when I got home. I really appreciate you dealing with the construction and the weird smell from the window sealant. Hopefully it will all be done before the next time you come.”
About: I have dogs and cats of my own and have taken care of animals my whole life. I’ve done long term client care for 11 cats (at once) administering medications and providing special needs care for both senior cats and kittens. I have experience with both senior dogs and puppies as well along with providing them medications too. I love every animal I come in contact with like my own and will provide the best care and love for them. I don’t have another job outside of this currently. My season with the fire department in California ended in November and it was my last season working with them since I’ve decided to be here full time. I am a full time student attending online classes but it is asynchronous so I don’t have a zoom schedule. I always make sure the environment is clean and there are no items the animal can have access to that could be harmful or that they are not supposed to have such as food left on the counter or trash. I will respect the pets boundaries when playing and giving attention to ensure they are comfortable and happy with the visit as well. I follow all instructions left by the client. I ensure the pet is safe and communication is open. I will also take pictures throughout the visit to send to the client to be updated on their precious pets.
“We are so very grateful for Carlynn! She was absolutely incredible and sent the best updates. We felt so safe leaving our girls with her and the house was in fantastic shape (better than we left it)! 10/10 recommend and we will absolutely be using her again!”
About: Growing up in a farming community in Michigan, I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life. I’ve always had pets of my own and understand how important they are as members of the family. I currently have a 5-year-old pit mix who previously shared our home with two cats for four years, giving me plenty of experience caring for both dogs and cats. I’m comfortable with animals of all sizes and personalities and genuinely enjoy getting to know each pet’s unique quirks and needs. My goal is to make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. Ideally, I would like to offer evening and weekend services to get myself acclimated. I am also willing to be flexible to accommodate your personal needs as long as the requests are within my means. In my home, my dog is one of us. I’m patient with anxious/high energy animals and more than happy to share a spot on the couch with the more docile ones. I’m extremely attentive, reliable, and responsive. I understand how much trust goes into allowing a stranger care for your children, but I promise to uphold a high level of care and compassion if you choose to use my services.
“Hannah was absolutely superb with our three small dogs! From our very first meeting, they were curious and drawn to her right away.. which is rare, as they can be extremely picky. Hannah is sweet, kind, and incredibly responsible. I felt completely at ease leaving our fur babies in her care for 11 days. Trust and communication are everything to us, and Hannah delivered with cute daily photos and updates—it was wonderful seeing the doggies playing and having so much fun! She kept them safe & entertained. On top of that, we returned to a clean house with the laundry done and rugs vacuumed. Thank you for everything, Hannah. You are the best!!”
“Lauren was great! She stayed in my home with my senior pup and I knew he was well cared for. She was great with communication and would absolutely have her watch my boy again. Thanks Lauren!”
“We had a great experience with both house and dog sitting. Both dogs were well cared for and we received many photos and updates while we were away. This was a huge decision for me to have my pets cared for in my home and I am very happy with the decision. The pets were happy and I can’t wait to book with Ellyssa and Hunter.”
“Joshua was wonderful with our 11 year old cattle dog. He took her out for daily walks and sent us photos and updates each day. He took excellent care of our home and allowed us to enjoy our trip worry free. Thank you!”

Deyaneira did a meet and greet with us prior to her first stay with our dog. When it came time to care for our pet, she was prompt, communicative and was attentive to our dog’s needs. She sent lots of pictures and gave timely updates. We will absolutely request support from Dayaneira in the future.
We’re so happy to be home with Pippa! Alex stayed with her while we were away for an extended trip, and it was such a relief knowing Pippa was able to stay comfortable in her own home. We really appreciated having someone here with her and taking care of her while we were so far away. Pippa was happy to see us when we got home and was doing well. Thank you, Alex, for taking care of our girl while we were gone!
Emma did an amazing job taking care of our dogs and our home over a long weekend. She was really communicative and checked in about some of the dogs specific behavior since it was her first time staying with them. We came home to happy pups and a clean house, will definitely reach out to her to stay with our dogs again!
Allison was great both watching our dog and our home while were out of town. She was very communicative, and kept us in the loop with regular updates and lots of photos the whole time were gone. She genuinely enjoys our dog and he had a great time with here while we were away. Will definitely book her again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Edmonds is $67 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $34 and $95 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 Edmonds 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 Edmonds 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 Edmonds 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 Edmonds. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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.
