“Brie did a wonderful job with my dogs. She sent updates throughout the time she was with them. The dogs were worn out when I got home too! 😁 Also, the house looked just like I had left it too!”
“Mira took great care of Moose while we were away! She had great communication about arrival and departure. She kept our house clean. She sent pictures of Moose’s activities throughout the day and Moose was very happy when we arrived home.”
“Josh cared for our old lady dog so well for an entire week while we were out of town. He took her on lots of walks and sent pictures daily. She was very relaxed with him and loved being able to stay in her own home. We cant sing his praises enough!”
“Mia did an OUTSTANDING job caring for our dog and two cats. She sent us daily updates w photos of walks, playtime, and even did a photo shoot with our dog! She did a home stay for 4 nights and our house was impeccable when we returned. To say I would hire her again is an understatement. We’re convinced our pup misses her and we wish we could hire her indefinitely. If you pass on having her watch your pets you are missing out, if I could give ten stars, I would ❤️❤️❤️”
“Ashleigh did a great job pet sitting our dog on very short notice while out of town for long weekend. Great communication daily and she was patient/understanding when our dog was frightened by thunderstorms and inconsiderate people in neighborhood shooting off fireworks in the middle of June! Home was in excellent condition when we returned too. Thank you for your service and we will would use her again to care for our dog.”
“Char was great sitter for my 3mo puppy. I was nervous since first time using service, but from minute she walked in my home Zeus acted like he'd known her all his life. reasonable price for service and she sent photo updates throughout the day which I appreciated.”
“Makayle responded promptly to my inquiry and communicated clearly the entire time watching my pup, Mikka. I know Mikka loved having a companion while we were gone and got lots of love as shared in photos.”
“Sophie did a great job with my blind and toothless girl, Annie. She gave updates and pics throughout the day. She also spent quality time with Annie who gets separation anxiety when left alone. I’ve already booked Sophie for another sitting job!! Thank you Sophie!!”
“Karley watched our 3 pets for the weekend and was outstanding! One of our dogs can be temperamental and Karley was very patient with her. She also sent us several pictures throughout the weekend and clearly took great care of our pets and home. We would highly recommend Karley to others.”
“Arionna did a great job! I would have really liked to see pictures of my dog, but she was very communicative and sent updates! She did a great job with this being her first time. I would use her again :)”
“Kayla went above and beyond for our boy! She is super reliable and took such amazing care of Jax! Just to add how amazing she is, our garage code wasn’t working and she stayed over an hour locked out trying to figure out a solution to make sure she got to Jax while we were out of town!! A+ from us!”
About: I’m a recent Washington State University graduate with over four years of housesitting experience caring for a variety of animals, including dogs and cats. I grew up with both a Yorkie and a Great Pyrenees, so I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and personalities! I’ve cared for puppies as young as two months old through senior dogs up to 13 years old, and I truly adore spending time with each one of them whether we’re throwing the ball in the yard for hours or relaxing on the porch couch. I’m patient and consistent with young pups who are still learning routines and basic training, and I’m gentle and attentive with senior dogs who may need medication, extra comfort, or slower walks. Something really important to me is treating each pet as if they were my own, to make sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for while their parents are away! Pet care definitely fits very easily into my daily routine. I currently work part-time, which gives me a very flexible schedule to accommodate any specific needs, whether that’s early morning visits, midday check-ins, evening walks, or overnight care. I’m happy to adjust my day to maintain your pet’s normal routine so they feel happy and comfortable while you’re away! I am also available for housesitting and truly enjoy staying in a home environment so pets can stay in their familiar space with consistent care and just someone to hangout with! The pet’s safety, comfort, and routine are always going to be my top priorities. At this time, I do not offer care in my own home, but I am more than happy to provide drop-in visits or overnight housesitting in your home where your pet feels most secure. I will most definitely work hard to maintain their normal schedule, feeding routines, exercise, and any special instructions you may provide me. Additionally, I’m very respectful of clients’ homes and treat them with the same care and responsibility I would my own. Clear communication is also very important to me, so I’m always happy to provide updates, photos, and any checkins you might want for peace of mind when you’re away!
About: I am a 26 year old living with autism spectrum disorder. I always loved animals since I saw them for the first time when I was a toddler. Animals and I just clicked, and I love getting to know more and more about animals. I would help out from time to time growing up, helping take care of animals. I also love music, and I play the cello. I'm a fur-mom of a domestic shorthair cat named Leo, an Australian Shepherd named Zola, and our newest addition to our family: another Australian Shepherd named Teddy Graham. From February 2021 to July of 2021, I worked at Camp Bow Wow, and since August/September of 2021, I’ve been working at Cedar Run Company for 5 yrs now. Over the years, I’ve also learned how to give other dogs baths, besides my own, and I’ve also cared for injured/senior pets (ie: administering meds, gentle leash-walking w/ a belly-band thing to go potty, etc.) I am mostly available any day. I work on Mondays (9-5), Fridays (10-6), and Saturdays (10-6). I can try to be flexible with any changes to my weekly schedules. Unfortunately, I can only have my dogs, Zola and Teddy Graham, over at my house, plus I’m afraid Zola might be jealous. Teddy’s been so far, so good with other dogs. So yea, boarding & daycare at my house isn’t really an option. I will give your pets all the loves and the tender loving care when you’re on vacay.
“Lehia took on a lot with our old dog, medicine 3x/day, old did antics and set in his ways. She communicated extremely well and we felt diesel was in safe and secure hands. Highly recommend her”
“Amanda was awesome! She administered medications and special CKD food to my cat with kidney disease, brushed the pets, sent pictures and was prompt at responding to messages. We will use her again for sure! ♥️😻🐕🦺🐯🐶🐈”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Hiawatha
Landon did a remarkable job. He stayed at our house taking care of our 2 golden retrievers while we enjoyed a 10 day holiday. We did a one night trial run a few weeks before our long trip to make sure everything would go well and it did. The dogs were well taken care of and the house was great when we returned. He was a great guest who washed his sheets and vacuumed the floors! We will definitely be using Landon for our future travel time.
Hope is an absolute gem! She cared for my kittens like they were her own! She is very patient, kind hearted and has a way with animals. She was very thorough with all instructions and sent me updates and pictures during her 5 night stay with Jupiter and Gemini. I will be booking her again!

FAQs for House Sitting - Hiawatha
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Hiawatha on Rover is $38.85 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 337 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Hiawatha. 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 Hiawatha 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 Hiawatha 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 Hiawatha 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 Hiawatha. On Rover:
- 100% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 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.
