“Stephanie took wonderful care of our two young cats in our home. They have a ton of energy and require a lot of playtime, and Stephanie clearly gave them a lot of attention and care. Additionally, one of our cats has pica, and Stephanie was very conscientious about that and was able to get her to take her liquid medication each morning (not an easy task). She provided detailed updates and lots of pics, and we felt very at ease knowing our kitties were safe in her care. We highly recommend Stephanie to everyone and we would love to work with her again!”
“Minh was a great sitter for my two dogs. She was an excellent communicator and provided great updates during the stay. She was very detailed and thoughtful with her care of the dogs and our home. We would definitely use Minh again.”
“Matthew was awesome. My shy boy, William, took to him instantly. He has a new best friend. Bailey was very shy at first. Matthew was very patient and she eventually interacted with him more. I would highly recommend Matthew. He took very good care of my babies and our home.”
“Nayeli did a great job watching my dog! She followed all my instructions and gave me lots of updates throughout the weekend. I returned to a happy dog and a well taken care of home. I would recommend Nayeli and book her again!”
About: I taken care of all types of dogs and cats since I was young. Once I learn their routine, I find it very easy and natural to bond with the pet! Trained or not I believe all animals deserve a loving sitter to keep them engaged while their parents are out. I am currently a part-time student and do the rest of my work remotely allowing ample time to hang out and play with pets! I have a fenced in yard with a friendly Belgian Malinois that would love to share his toys! I also have a very large crate and room dividers if they’d prefer some personal space.
“Simon was awesome with my dog Rocky! I received a bunch of photos of them having fun & on lil adventures, while I was away on a backpacking trip. Would 10/10 recommend.”
“Yvette was amazing with my baby Dior! She kept me updated and was so patient and kind. She ended up getting so many snuggles and kisses!! She made going out the easiest time as I had nothing to worry about with Dior. I will definitely use her again!! Yvette was amazing!!!”
“Silas went above and beyond for our pets! She watched our 4 dogs and 2 cats while we were out of the country. She was a great communicator the whole time. There was an issue with an appliance in the house while we were gone and she kept me updated and helped coordinate the repairs. She also sent photos and updates of the pets. We really appreciate that she treated our fur babies with love while we were away.”
“Brooklyn was our first Rover experience, she did a meet and greet in advance with our house and pets. A month later, Brooklyn bonded with our brood during the first day, sent lots of pictures and updates during our trip. She was very thorough with her caretaking and left our home exactly as she found it. I would highly recommend Brooklyn for cats and dogs (oh and she fed the hummingbirds for us too)!”
About: I had 4 dogs growing up and my parents always had me on a tight schedule with taking care of them. I fed them every morning at 6AM or 10AM and at 5-6PM every night. I also walked them and cleaned their messed when needed, and finally i never let their water bowl go dry. I love dogs and when I’m around them long enough they’ll love me. I will have plenty of time to take care of pets during the week. Im currently trying to make any extra cash I can right now. Which ever way a dog has to he taken care of I can do it. Each of my dogs growing up had different food and ways they needed to eat so I always took care of that
About: Hi! I have had over 10 years of experience with my own fur babies. Both of my girls have crossed the rainbow bridge but we got to enjoy their golden years together, going for walks and soaking up the sun. As my dogs got older I became a pro in distributing oral medications and eye drops. Roxy (my Shih Tzu) also became blind and deaf so I have experience with those disabilities as well. I give exceptional belly rubs, & will give these babies compliments all day long. I do work full time, but I have a pretty flexible schedule. Saturday - Monday my availability is pretty open. Tuesday - Friday I would be available after 5pm. My neighborhood has wonderful with walking trails that we could explore. I also live next door to my aunt who has a super friendly Corgi and is always looking for friends to play with. I do love to snuggle up with a pup on the couch or bed, but do have space for a crate if that would be more comfortable for them.
“Thank you so much for taking such sweet care of our fur babies! Our little ChiChi was diagnosed with Addisons just the week before and was very ill. We came home to a very happy boy who had gained nearly all 9 pounds of his weight loss back! Thank you!!!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 8yrs old. Friends, family and neighbors have relied on me to care for their beloved pets. I’ am currently working part-time, so I’ll have plenty of time to play with your pups! I am available for boarding on weekends after 2pm, and weekdays after 430pm I have a fence yard, crates and gates at home, we can also use your own crates if that works with you. Thank a bunch
About: I have taken care of dogs since my childhood, both my family dogs and those of friends and neighbors. I am comfortable giving oral medications as my dog takes daily oral medication. I have also watched our friends and neighbors cats since I was a teenager and know how special it is when they take a liking to you. My schedule is very flexible as I am currently between jobs after moving! Even when I start working it will be 3-4 days a week. My dog is not always dog friendly so I will not be bringing her on any walks. I can follow any specific directions you have about your pet as they are all unique!
“Jazmine did a great job watching over my pets, she communicated daily activities and anything additional that had come up. I received daily photos of my boys and could tell they were well cared for when I got back. Will definitely be a repeating customer”
“Brie house sat for my three, high energy pups! She was very responsive and sent plenty of pics so I was not worried about them. I appreciated that Brie was willing to come to my house ahead of time to meet my dogs. I have a German shepherd who can be house protective. It made me feel better that she came to meet them and they all loved her with no protective issues!”
“Makela was fantastic with our cat and dog! She stayed at our home for a week while we were on vacation. She sent lots of pictures and updates and was great at communicating. When we got home our house was perfectly tidy and our animals were calm and happy. We will definitely use Makela again!”
About: I’m a professional dog walker since 2021. I’m working on extending my weekday services permanently to Tacoma (Spring 2027), but I currently offer weekend or off-hours visits. I specialize in small group dog walks or drop-ins. Now offering short or extended cat care. I also offer my experience with reptiles and other small critters or creepy crawlers. I work full time as a dog walker during the week through a small company in Seattle. I’m now accepting new weekend and off-hours clients in Tacoma until I can commit full time I have two reactive rescue dogs so am experienced with pets with behavioral needs and understand the worry and concern of trusting someone to make sure your pet stays safe during a walk or visit. Can care for professional escape artists, behavioral issues, or pets with special needs/medical care.
“Veronica was an amazing sitter! Our dog Bentley loved her immediately and she was so kind and flexible with our departure/arrival time. She sent plenty of pictures and updates that made us feel confident she was taking good care of him. We would definitely reach out to her again!”

Mary is amazing with our dogs, who don't typically love strangers right away. She was incredibly helpful last minute for us and I feel so grateful for her willingness to take our job with notice only the night before. Our dogs love her, which is the most important part!
Marlon was a wonderful dark sitter for Lola. She got to go on car rides. She played with other dogs and he was very cautious and careful with Lola. She had the best time he was very communicative with me and keep it in touch every step of the way glad to have him back again anytime thanks again Marlon
Mariana is wonderful with our dogs! She is very trustworthy and responsible. She keeps us updated and sends us pictures of the dogs throughout her stay. This is our second time with Mariana, and we will use her again. Thank you Mariana for taking care of Archie and Frankie!
Madison did a great job watching my dog! She followed all my directions and left a clean home. She was responsive to messages and agreed to do a meet and greet before. She even watered my plants while I was away. I returned to a happy and healthy dog! I would definitely book her again and recommend her to a friend!! :)
Rain did an incredible job taking care of our anxious corgi and elderly kitty. We had just moved from out of state and it was our first time ever hiring a pet sitter while we flew back home to visit family for about five days, so we were nervous about figuring out animal care while we were gone. We found Rain here on Rover and they did such an incredible job at taking care of them and sending cute pictures and updates while we were gone. When we came home, we could tell that they were happy and well taken care of and Rain even left a little calming dog tv for our boy in the interim of our plane landing/driving home. I would highly recommend Rain and would most definitely book again as well! ^_^
Jessica was so great to work with. She was communicative, sent daily pics and updates of my dog, and my dog absolutely loved her. In addition, when she had a long shift at work, she had her boyfriend hang out with Rory so she wouldn't be locked up all day (we agreed on this before even booking.) Will absolutely book again!
Kieran has been a great rover sitter for Jack and my house. She is a very good communicator and shares about each day she spends with Jack including photos. I know my pup is in good hands and that she really cares about him. I have utilized Kieran multiple times now because of this great service.
I have two very sweet dogs that really just do better at home than in unfamiliar environments. Andrew was exactly what they needed. Throughout my trip he provided regular updates and took great care of my fur babies. I can’t explain in words how nice it was to know they were well taken care of in their home during my trip. Thank you Andrew!
Danitra did so well with our animals and was very accommodating. This was our first time having a pet sitter at all, and we were concerned initially because our dogs aren't very sociable, but she did a great job winning them over and going the extra mile making them comfortable and keeping us in the loop too.

The average cost of House Sitting in Fife Heights is $54 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $34 and $78 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 Fife Heights 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 Fife Heights 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 Fife Heights 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.
