“Maya is our go-to dog sitter! Not only is she incredibly professional, but she does a great job updating us on how things are going with the cutest pictures. We trust her immensely and she has been so responsive and proactive when our dog is being a handful - for instance, giving her baths when she’s rolling around in the yard. We’d recommend her to anyone looking for a dog sitter who go above and beyond!”
“Michelle was an amazing pet sitter. She was my first live-in overnight sitter and she helped me feel so at ease about the whole process. She communicated well prior to the pet sitting dates, and she sent me daily updates on how things were going along with pictures of my very happy dogs while in her care. I have three dogs with different needs and abilities and they all had a great time with her. I would absolutely use her again for future pet sitting needs!”
“Highly recommend Mackenzie! Super responsive, attentive to our pup, and left the house and room where she stayed impeccably clean. Will definitely be a repeat customer.”
“Kyle did an amazing watching our 2 dogs over a long weekend - 1 of which is a 10 month old lab puppy with tons of energy. He was communicative and I knew our boys were in great hands.”
“Sebastian was amazing! We had to book last minute with two very spirited pups. Sebastian was super accommodating and even showed up an hour early to hang out with our boys while we packed. Sebastian was totally un-phased by our big guy's food aggression and had no trouble getting them their meals. Every picture that was sent the boys looked like they were having a blast playing and snuggling! We plan to use Sebastian in the future and will recommend them to anyone that needs any help with their animals.”
“Nancy is an amazing pet sitter. She stayed in our home for three weeks with out dog and two cats. She was great with communication and she also sent is daily pictures of each pet. She took some really good photos. I would highly recommend :).”
“Holly was a great communicator and sent us lots of pictures of Tony, which we greatly appreciated. She was very thorough with her descriptions of how Tony’s day was going and even put some dishes away! Thank you Holly!!!”
“Due to age, our dogs health declined after we left. Kristen continued to communicate about his symptoms and eventually helped get him to the emergency vet. She even came back to the vet to be with him when he passed. She went above and beyond what I would have expected for a dog sitter. I'm thankful Kristen was there for him in his last days.”
“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 :)”
“Emma was a great sitter for our 3 cat babies. She was always quick to respond, left the place very clean, and gave them plenty of attention. Some of our cats can be slow to warm up to humans, but that wasn't the case with Emma (they seemed pretty comfortable around her and didn't hide right away). She also took care of our house plants. Would recommend Emma to anyone.”
“Kristy is amazing and we are so lBlessed to have her watch Kaya and Big. Genuine, caring and authentic care for our doggies this weekend. We were able to enjoy the event knowing that the doggies are in great care and hands with Kristy.”
“Laney took great care of our dogs while we were away. She checked in regularly and sent lots of pictures! She’s very easy to work with. This is our second time we’ve had Laney house sit for us, and we would be happy to book again!”
“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!”
“Quick responses, easy booking and really helped out pups adjust to a new person before our trip. Came back to happy dogs w/ no signs of anxiety chewing on shoes or books. Took great care w/ our house too! Will book again!”
“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.”
“Anja did a great job with our two dogs and watching our house. She sent several pictures each day so we could see they were doing good. Happy to get the updates and know they were well cared for. Would definitely book again. Thanks :)”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Edmonds
Laney did great with our pets! She was very responsive to our texts, sent updates and pictures when requested, and left the house clean for our return. She gave the dogs lots of outside time, and gave all the animals lots of love and snuggles. We'd absolutely book her again for future trips.
We love Michelle! She’s the best communicator - consistently responds quickly and always provides twice daily updates with several pup pics. She follows our (lengthy) instructions to the letter! Michelle will update us if anything seems “off” with our pups because she knows them so well. And, she always keeps our house spotless. Michelle is like family & we couldn’t be more grateful!
Carina is a wonderful pet sitter. Our dog Mason loves all the attention he gets when she comes to stay. Communication is great with pictures and updates every day. She has helped us twice and we will definitely be asking for her help again in the near future. We highly recommend Carina!
Kate watched our two kitties in our home for 3 days. We came home to happy kitties which is always great! Kate sent daily update and gave a long update on her final day before leaving our home. She also checked in a few times leading up to our trip to make sure we were both confirmed and clear on instructions which was appreciated. She also made sure to take out the trash and tidy up after her stay. The only small hiccup was prior to booking. The pricing shown on the listing was not the actual cost. She prices herself a bit different than all other Rover sitters we’ve work with. That said, the total cost was reasonable and we worked it out before I agreed to book.
Addisyn did an amazing job caring for our dogs and looking after our home while we were gone. She was incredibly attentive and kept us updated the whole time, which gave us total peace of mind. She was super reliable with their routine, making sure they got their allergy meds with dinner each night. Honestly, I don’t think the dogs even missed us! We returned to very happy, well-cared-for pups and will absolutely be booking Addisyn again. Highly recommend!
Maya was extremely attentive to our dogs. She provided consistent updates, was communicative with us, and sent lots of photo updates through the day. We have a dog with a lot of medical issues and she was able to administer the drugs to her, no problem. We have another dog that has lots of separation anxiety and Maya was willing to stay with her for most of the day. We came back to a tidied up house. We appreciate Maya and we hope to be able to use her in the future.
Melanie took such great care of our cat Lilly and our fish. She sent pictures daily and spent time getting to know our shy kitty. Lilly is hesitant to meet new people, but within a few visits she was snuggling Melanie. It was such a blessing to know our cat and fish were getting attention and love during our 3 week vacation. Melanie truly has a strong connection with pets of all kinds and I am so thankful for her compassion and thoughtfulness in care.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Edmonds on Rover is $66.6 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 7,514 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Edmonds. 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 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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Edmonds. On Rover:
- 92% 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.
