“Chris was awesome! Our dogs took right to her and the house looked great! She was comfortable when meeting our boisterous dogs and very punctual. She also sends great pics! We will definitely continue booking with Chris!”
“Andrew stayed at my home to pet sit my dog Riley after I had to travel pretty last minute for a few days right after the Thanksgiving holiday. He sent photos every day and my dog was well cared for. My home was left clean and tidy and he was very respectful of my space. If I needed another in-home pet sitter I wouldn’t hesitate to request to book Andrew again”
“Sofia was a dream to work with as a first time engagement. I will definitely rebook with her. She was super responsive, upbeat, and asked good questions about out dogs’ care. She met our pups prior to booking and they calmly liked her IMMEDIATELY. That gave us real peace of mind. We got the requested updates and photos. 10/10 recommend Sofia.”
“Autumn gave great care to our three geriatric ragdoll cats. Two of the cats require medication and they leave accidents. The house was spotless when we got home. We will definitely book her again. Thanks Autumn!”
“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!”
“Our pups and home were so well taken care of during our weekend away. Came home to happy, content campers. Chelsea was communicative and shared lots of photos and updates of how everyone was while we were gone. Will definitely have her pup sit for us again!”
“We had a wonderful experience with Lilyonna. From the start, she was very easy to communicate with, responsive, and very attentive to our dogs’ routines. Most importantly, our dogs absolutely loved her company. They were comfortable, happy, and clearly well cared for while we were away, which gave us a lot of peace of mind. We would definitely have Lilyonna sit for our dogs again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, kind, and trustworthy pet sitter.”

“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.”
“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.”
“Ruth is a dog whisperer! Our usually timid/shy dog took only a day to warm up to her. Ruth is very responsive and reliable which put our minds at ease while we were out of town. Would definitely book with her again!”
“Georgia met us for a meet and greet, arrived early to the house sit, and provided daily updates and photos of our dog while we were away. She was very dependable and kept our dog on schedule, which is so important to us when trusting someone with our dog! Thank you Georgia!”
“Hands down awesome job. So attentive and felt like the pets got lots of love and attention. Came home to a clean house, fed and happy pets and a clean backyard. Would absolutely recommend her to others and use her again in the future.”
“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.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Issaquah
Junbo was great with our dog Fenway! He took a couple of days to open up to her but after he did they got along great. When the stay was over she even cleaned around the house and washed the sheets, which was very kind of her. I would recommend her to people needing dog sitting!
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! 😊
Hi!! Brooke was amazing with pepper took her on walks daily and played ball sent us cute pics! Expressed how much she like both pets! :) however, when we returned home there was spilled drinks on two doors, the other side of the yard still had 6 dog poop piles on it. Personal belongings left. I think she’s great but, maybe a bit more attention to detail. Overall awesome!!:)
Olivia took great care of our rambunctious puppy and grumpy pug. She definitely has a way with animals and it was clear that our pups fell in love with her when she housesat them. On top of that she is very responsible, trustworthy and a great communicator. I highly recommend Olivia!

FAQs for House Sitting - Issaquah
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Issaquah on Rover is $73.26 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 8,023 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.

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.
