“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!”
“Mackenzie was absolutely amazing! I was so worried to leave my senior pets for 10 days but she put me ease with her kindness and experience. She had great communication and compassion towards my pets when they had an accident. I felt like she truly loved them as her own. We also loved getting photo updates throughout our trip- she even crocheted cute little hats for the dogs and cat. Would love to have her back to sit again!”
“Kyle stayed with our dogs, one of whom is recovering from surgery and can’t be left alone right now, so that we could go to The Rolling Stones. He was on time, communicative and even sent us some pictures so we knew everything was ok. We will definitely book again!”
“Dylan was wonderful with our dog, Lacy, and cat, Carlisle. They both got on great with him and he was extremely communicative the entire time. He helped us relax during our international trip knowing our pets were in great hands. Would absolutely recommend Dylan to anyone!”
“Kristen did a great job unfortunately we didn’t need her for the whole week but she did come in early one day and check on Rodney and the chickens and I really appreciate that. Thank you so much. Great job. Look forward to working with you in the future.”
“Carina did an amazing job caring for our cat and home. We hired her for a week of housesitting/overnight stays. She was trustworthy, reliable and communicative. She sent us daily photos of our kitty, kept our large garden watered and, in general, went above and beyond our expectation. We returned to a happy kitty and a clean house thanks to Carina. We will definitely be hiring her again.”
“We found our perfect housesitter/doggo sitter! I’ll admit, I was a little nervous at first about having someone we didn’t know come into our home to care for our three mischievous pups. We had always relied on friends and family, so this was a brand-new experience for us. From the very beginning, Anja completely put our minds at ease. She was incredible with our doggos, sent us daily photos that made us smile, took them for walks, snuggled and loved on them and took wonderful care of our home. Truly, I wish I could give her 10 stars—she’s that amazing. We couldn’t be happier and hope to use her Rover skills again and again. Thank you Anja!”
“We've had Holly walking our dog, Willow, for the past two years. We needed someone to housesit Willow for a trip we had planned and she was, as always, accommodating, communicative, and kind. We could not recommend Holly more!”
About: I have taken care of pets for friends and family including house sitting and drop ins for long day trips. I enjoy taking dogs on long walks. I'm pretty flexible with pet care and always willing to learn. I have experience with providing some medications. I work full time at a public school. I have time in the mornings and afternoons. Over the summer I am free throughout the day. I make sure pets get the love and attention they deserve. I enjoy playing with pets and making sure they continue to be active and healthy!
“Zachary did an exceptional job on watching all my fur babies. He followed directions for care perfectly. I highly recommend him for a sitter for both dogs and cats. I look forward to booking him in the future.”
“Elaina was amazing. She took care of our house while we were out for the day, and brought such peace of mind regarding Ace. I never worried for a moment, and just when I would start to think about him, I would get a whole bunch of pictures of him living his best life with his bestie! Elaina was truly so kind, and caring, I'm glad that I found her!”
“We took a week long trip and Laney took great care of our 4yr old corgi as well as did a great job of housesitting while we were away. She met with us twice prior to our trip and was great about communication and sending pictures and videos while we were away, which gave us great assurance that he was being well cared for. When we got home, our dog was so happy to see us and the house was in great shape, mail on our entry table and boxes delivered while away were brought inside. Very pleased!”
“Joe is fantastic! He is so calm and sweet and his energy instantly makes dogs feel comfortable. We loved having him watch our dog, and we appreciated the updates and photos!”
“2nd time that Kristy looked after our girls. It was an overnight rover and she made sure to keep us updated and followed all of our instructions. We felt calm and safe that she could take care of our pups which is a great feeling. Would book again!”
“Kory was awesome! We have 2 pups (7 and 10 years old) who are a bit stranger shy. Kory was unfazed and calm, and both pups quickly fell in love with him. Because of Kory we were able to take our first vacation in 9 years. Thank you Kory!!!”
“Michelle stayed with our 3 dogs for 4th of July and it was great! We got updates and photos throughout the day, and came home to tired/happy pups! Would definitely recommend and will rebook again for next time. Thanks Michelle!”

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!
20/5. Highly recommend! First, he stepped up as an emergency sitter when the prior sitter didn’t show and I was already out of town. Super communicative immediately and sent so many photos. Made me feel like my animals were safe which made me feel safe. Then, on the day I was coming home, he noticed one of my dogs was drooling a lot and told me right away and sent photos. He kept an eye on her and noticed there was also facial and neck swelling. He sent photos and alerted me and I decided I wanted her to go to the vet. He took her and waited at the ER while she was examined and then, once the vet confirmed it was an allergic reaction but she was safe to go home, brought her home. Again, the whole time, communicating and patient. I’m on the other side of the country about to get on a plane but he kept my little girl safe and made sure she was ok. Afterward, he cleared the rest of his day to wait for me to get home, spending hours after the sit ended so he wouldn’t leave my dog unattended. He kept her safe and made sure she was ok. He gave all of my animals love and affection and ensured they were cared for and I don’t have enough words to express just how important and how much that means.
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.
Vika was wonderful! She house-sat and watched my dog, Winston, for 5 nights and did a fantastic job. She was incredibly communicative throughout the stay and left my home in perfect condition. Most importantly, Winston was very well cared for and happy while I was away. I would absolutely book her again!
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.

FAQs for House Sitting - Edmonds
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.

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.
