“Shayla did a wonderful job with taking care of our dog and our house while we were away. She sent pictures and updates while we were gone which I really appreciated. Our dog seemed very happy and liked Shayla. Our house was spotless when we came home. We felt very comfortable having her here and would recommend her to anyone to take care of their pets.”
“Alisha was absolutely amazing. She was so communicative & attentive to our dogs & they LOVE her. She also made sure everything looked perfect for us to come home to. She’s the best!”
“Mason was so wonderful with our senior dog. He stopped by twice—once for a meet and greet and once the day of the sitting to review the loads of information needed to appropriately care for our dog. Mason communicated multiple times per day, never hesitated to ask a question when needed and always let us know our dog was in safe hands. Our house was left in great condition and we came home to a happy pup. Would highly recommend Mason!”
About: I've been an animal lover for as long as I can remember! Growing up, I regularly walked dogs and pet sat for neighbors, gaining experience caring for pets of all different personalities and energy levels. Later in life, I was a proud cat dad and beagle dad for many years. Having been a pet parent myself, I understand just how much our animals mean to us and how important it is to know they're in good hands. I genuinely love spending time with animals, whether that means going on long walks, playing outside, or just relaxing on the couch with a furry friend. I'm an active, outdoorsy person who loves hiking and exploring, so I'm always happy to give energetic pups plenty of exercise and attention. At the same time, I'm just as happy providing a calm, comfortable environment for pets who prefer a slower pace. I miss having pets of my own, and I'm excited for the opportunity to share that love and affection with yours! My goal is to make sure every pet in my care feels safe, happy, and loved. I'm new to the Seattle area and currently have plenty of free time and flexibility in my schedule! I do other part-time work that allows me to set my own hours, so it's easy for me to plan my days around pet sitting, walks, and drop-in visits. Whether your pet needs some company during the workday, a regular walking buddy, or extra attention while you're away, I'm happy to accommodate a variety of schedules. One of the things I'm most excited about as I settle into the area is making some new furry friends, and I'd love to make caring for your pets a regular part of my routine! Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities! As a former dog and cat parent myself, I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your furry family members. I treat every pet with the same love, patience, and attention I gave my own, while respecting their individual personalities, routines, and needs. Whether I'm stopping by for a visit, taking your pup on a walk, or staying in your home, I do my best to keep your pets feeling safe, comfortable, and loved. I always follow your instructions carefully, from feeding schedules and medications to exercise routines and any special care requirements. On walks, I'm attentive to my surroundings, use secure leashes, and prioritize your dog's safety over anything else. For house sitting and drop-in visits, I understand that I'm also being trusted with your home. I'll always treat your space with respect, keep things clean and tidy, and make sure everything is secure when I leave. I'm also happy to send regular photo updates and check-ins so you can relax knowing your pets are in good hands! Above all, I want your pets to feel like they're spending time with a trusted friend, not a stranger. Whether that means an exciting walk, some energetic playtime, or simply a little extra love and companionship, I'm happy to give them the love and care that they need!
“We are so happy with the loving care ty got. We booked last minute and they were so accommodating and great with the cat and provided updates and photos to make us feel at ease”
About: I have had my own cats and dogs from pup to senior age. I have worked with pets that need high level of attention and exercise to very low level. I enjoy working with both! I love animals and staying active so that is why I really want to get things going on Rover. I recognize that your pet(s) are cherished family members. With lifelong experience in caring for cats and dogs, I am committed to treating your pets with the same love and dedication as my own. A little about me: My name is Connor, which fittingly means "hound lover." I work at a school as a para educator. My hours are 9:00AM-3:30PM M-TH. 9:00AM-3:30PM on Friday. I work M,T,W and S,M,T - 12 hour shift schedule. So working end of the week works really well for me doing Rover. I love being active myself and running with dogs. I’ve only been able to have one outdoor cat in the past. They usually like being inside. In the house I can snuggle and keep them good company.

“Craig did an amazing job with our dog Juno and cat Ella and was even flexible when we needed additional care. Would definitely recommend and will be booking again in the future!”
“Terry was super communicative and respectful to my home and my two cats. He was also good about following up on schedules and leaving everything very clean. Would absolutely book Terry again!”
“We loved Kat! I felt so comfortable with her at our house, knowing that Winnie and Wally were being very well taken care of. She sent me pictures daily and the doggos looked *so happy* with her! I think they were sad when we came back honestly. I will 100% be booking with Kat again!”
About: Hi! I look forward to caring for you furry family! I grew up with pets and have dogs and cats for family and friends for years. But I also know each individual pet has its own personality and needs, so I tailor my care to your instructions. I currently have a dog of my own, Pepper. If you choose to board with us, I'd recommend a meet and greet beforehand. I have an apartment with a large enclosed courtyard that is pet friendly for them to safely play. I have a mostly remote job, so I can watch your pet full time. I also have a dog of my own that share with my partner. So I am accustomed to the schedule of dogs. Your pets safety is my number one priority. When we discuss the their care, I will ask about triggers, allergies, medications, and inquire if there is any other information I should know about.
About: I have been dog walking for friends and families for about 10 years now with a variety of dogs! My experience with different breeds of dogs has shown me that all dogs have different needs to be met. My own dogs has taught me to always be aware of everything and to always be there for them. I enjoy being able to connect with animals and will make your dog my first priority! I will be wearing a mask when dog walking or sitting and will be following the CDC guidelines for COVID-19I am a student at Seattle University and all classes are online so I am free whenever you need a sitter or a walker :) Please let me know if you have any questions. Any time, currently I am unemployed and am taking classes online, so as long as I get a heads up I will be able to do whatever you need! I have a fenced place in a family and pet friendly neighborhood. I will figure out what else can be dog-proofed and to make sure that they is nothing they can get into.
“Valerie was incredible! We have two spoiled pugs and one of them is not well mannered, barks non stop and has separation anxiety/issues. He is great with his parents but we were very concerned with having someone else watch him for 2 days. She was very patient and understanding of his needs, very punctual and communicative. We got update pictures and texts and the house was left perfectly. Would definitely rebook if we ever had another event we could not have our pups. And absolutely would recommend!! 11/10”
“Thank you Stephanie for housesitting Ziggy and Marlo for a week while we were out of town! She was amazing. We felt completely comfortable from the start and we didn't have to stress out on how the dogs were doing while we were away. She was communicative, shared great photos and updates, and I don't even think the dogs cared we were away! Would highly recommend Stephanie and look forward to reaching out to her for any future needs for our pups.”
About: I'm a huge fan of active dogs, and I love going on walks and playing outside with them. I also have experience with senior pets and in giving medications. I'm a self-employed clinical massage therapist, and am able to adjust my schedule to fulfill whatever needs you or your pets may have, including doing various walks or appointments as needed. I can drive up to any location and keep your pet in a safe and familiar space while I'm taking care of them, as well as make sure your home is maintained well.
“Alyssa stayed with my needy little poodle mix and also my son’s active golden retriever for a long weekend. Both dogs seemed happy and relaxed when we came on and the house was clean and tidy. I would totally have her come again!”
“Becca was a wonderful sitter for our two dogs! She was responsible, tidy, and kept us well informed with regular updates while we were away. We felt completely comfortable trusting her with the dogs, and she made sure they were happy, comfortable, and well walked throughout her stay. One of our dogs needed daily medication, and Becca handled it perfectly. We’d definitely book Becca again and would happily recommend her!”
“Kina was a great sitter! She was attentive to Finn’s needs considering he was on the last few days of kennel cough. She came for a meet and greet before and hit it off with Finn. When we left I felt comfortable and confident having her in my home and to watch Finn. With frequent updates and pictures I was able to see my baby from far away. She asked permission before taking him to a nature park and then allowed him to have an amazing time as well. I would definitely use Kina again and recommend her to those looking. ?”
“Rachel has been amazing to our Luna! I really appreciate your patience and energy. She has a lot of love for dogs and it really shows. I appreciate her communication and ensuring that our Luna is well taken care of. :)”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 6,796 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Eglon. 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 Eglon 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 Eglon 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 Eglon 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.
