“Andrew was conscientious. He was concerned that my fill in pet sitter did not visit as much as she said she would be. He was right. I am going to hire Andrew for my next vacation.”
“Jen was so wonderful with our two dogs. She was so good with both and was responsive and easy to work with. She also took very good care of our home while we were away. We would recommend Jen to others and will book her again if schedules allow.”
“Autumn was great. She was very communicative both ahead of the stay and while watching our pets. Our big dog in particular seems to have taken to her very quickly and there were no issues when we came home. We will definitely reach out to her next time we plan on traveling.”
“Kimberly was exceptional. One of our two dogs became very sick while we were away and she coordinates getting him the emergency without complaint. Considering the mess she had to clean, she went above and beyond. Communication was excellent and she left the house clean. We would highly recommend her and use her again!”
“Janine did a great job watching our two dogs. She was reliable, communicative, and clearly cared about them. It gave us peace of mind knowing they were in good hands, and they were happy and well cared for when we got back. We’d definitely trust Janine to watch them again and highly recommend her.”
“I booked Chelsea for the first time to go on a camping trip where I wouldn’t have service. After meeting her I was super confident in her abilities to care for Benny and was not disappointed. Great communication through out the entire trip and I could tell Benny was enjoying his time with her. She left my place exactly how she found it and could tell Benny came away with another friend. I would highly recommend Chelsea to anyone 😊”
“Junbo is fantastic! I can't recommend her enough. She took care of my cat and high energy puppy when I was out of town for a week. She not only took my dog for a walk but took him to different hikes everyday. She takes care of the pets not just out of responsibility and accountability but also the enthusiasm and joy of being out with them. She truly enjoys the company and loves the pets she's tasked to take care of. She sends lots of photos and videos and gives frequent updates on their daily routine. Again, I highly recommend her for all the services that she offers. Will certainly hire her gain for house sitting. Thank you Junbo!!!”
“We LOVE how much Shalindra loves our dogs, and they love her! She keeps us thoroughly updated and sends plenty of pictures and videos so we know they’re doing well. She is someone who you know just adores spending time with dogs, which helps us know she’s enjoying her time with our pups, even if one of our dogs is insane haha. Highly recommend Shalindra if you want someone to truly enjoy hanging out with your pups and update you along the way.”
“Leeah was amazing with our dog Coco. Coco requires a lot of love, attention, and play and Leeah was so good at providing that for our girl. Leeah was communicative, very respectful of our home, and arguably left it cleaner than we left her with it! Thanks again!! We will have her back anytime 😄”
“Iris stayed with our three Dachshunds for four days. She did an amazing job! Iris was attentive to their needs and gave them lots of snuggles which they are so used to! She sent pictures and an update every day which showed how well our babies were doing. I appreciate all the care and attention that she gave our dogs which included administering medication to one of them. I definitely plan to call on iIris again to care for our dogs! ❤️”
“Gaby was great! Mack took to her instantly and she was amazing with him. Gave great updates throughout the stay and checked in with me when he was feeling a little off and helped through that. Very communicative. Would absolutely have her sit again!”
“Mindy did great watching my elderly dog and 2 cats. When I got home from vacation my house was clean and animals super happy. She was very quick to respond and check in with me through the trip. Will definitely hire again!”
“Brandi was absolutely wonderful! She had great energy, was communicative, kept me updated, and I came home to a happy dog. Highly recommend and would love to book with her again!”
“Russell was great with our older dog and cat. He kept us updated and took our dog on great walks. He also took good care of our home. Even watered plants without being asked. He can be relied upon ti take great care of pets and home”
About: I set my own hours and am available whenever to take care of a pet! I have been responsible for my dogs growing up and family/friends who needed a responsible caregiver for their furry friends. I now have a cat named Bellow and I love cats and dogs! I set my own schedule and can be available whenever needed! I have flexibility to change times around as well if that is requested by the owner. I am good with highly energetic dogs and super calm dogs! My family dog lived to 17 and I am aware of the different care that young and old dogs and cats need. I respect and follow expectations based on the owners wants and needs.
“Pam has been one of the best dog sitters we have had the pleasure to keep our boy Guinness happy and safe. Pam always keeps us in the loop and is amazing. We will be continuing to book Pam for as many trips we can when we cannot bring Guinness with us. Thank You, Pam and Guinness say Woof too.”
“Dylan did a wonderful job taking care of our German shepherd while house sitting at our place. He communicated well and left things in great shape. I would definitely hire him again.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Issaquah
Autumn took very good care of our pup, Louie, especially with his skin care routine and giving him his prescription meds. She walked him multiple times each day and sent us photos. We appreciated Autumn for staying with Louie at our house overnight, and also grateful that she gave the family room (Louie's main playspace) a good vacuuming before we got home.
Junbo did an amazing job on a few day’s house sitting stint with me separation anxiety dog. They had a wonderful time running around parks, errands, and just chilling at home. My dog was happy and clearly felt safe and relaxed with her. I’m super grateful she was able to accommodate his needs while I was away.
Ruth did an amazing job taking care of my dog while I was away on an 11-day work trip. I had never used a sitter before, and was quite stressed about my trip and about being away from my dog for so long. Ruth was so thoughtful about answering all my questions and about getting to know my pup before I left, to make sure that the transition would be as easy as possible for him. She took great care of him during my trip, and I appreciated the many updates and pictures she sent, as well as her conscientiousness about reaching out whenever anything came up that we hadn’t talked about before I left. I really couldn’t have asked for a better experience, and it was so helpful knowing that my dog was in such good and compassionate hands while I was away. I’ll definitely be booking Ruth again for any future trips!
Sofia was absolutely wonderful with my dog. She took care of everything with so much responsibility and kindness. Not only did she keep my dog happy and comfortable, she also went above and beyond by taking care of the garbage bins and coordinating the hand‑off to my friend without any issues. I really appreciated her clear communication and the way she handled every detail smoothly. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing my dog was in such reliable hands. I would gladly have her help again.
We couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter! Heather did an exceptional job caring for our dog while we were away. She was attentive, reliable, and clearly treated him like their own. Our dog received great walks, plenty of care and attention, and we appreciated the detailed updates, notes, and pictures throughout the stay. Those thoughtful updates gave us complete peace of mind knowing he was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. It’s obvious that Heather genuinely loves animals and takes pride in providing excellent care. We would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter. We will definitely be using her again!
Diya accepted to take care of my dog very last minute as my original dog sitter didn’t show up on the day . She made me feel very comfortable to ensure I can trust her with my dog & house sitting . Great on communication also . Happy that she took care of my dog at end .
Carolina is absolutely the best! I received so many pictures of my pets and updates while we were gone. This woman should also be a pet photographer, they are some of the best pictures I’ve ever had of my fur babies! She took immaculate care of our home and provided all the love to our doggies they could have ever wished for. I think they still wish she was here. 😁
Valentina was amazing with my dog Obii, he’s generally a very timid dog with strangers but he instantly loved her and I was so impressed! Valentina is very trustworthy, kind and professional, I appreciated that she asks what Obii’s favorite things to do/play are so that she can make him happy. She sent updates with photos throughout her stay to keep me in the loop and I loved seeing the updates and photos of what they were up to and how he was doing. I’m so pleased with her watching Obii, and I 100% am going to request Valentina again for future dog sitting!
Danielle did a wonderful job taking care of my Great Pyrenees, Rosie, for the weekend!! She was respectful and followed all of our instructions for how to take care of Rosie, providing timely updates and photos! Would definitely reach out to Danielle again! 😊

FAQs for House Sitting - Issaquah
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Issaquah on Rover is $77.15 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 7,917 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Issaquah. 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 Issaquah 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 Issaquah 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 Issaquah 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.

- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 94% 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.
