“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”
“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.”
“Autumn was great. She was friendly and engaging with the dogs when she met the first time, has a fast response time, sent pictures, and asked for clarity on any confusing directions. Having her as a sitter when we were away helped me not feel worried about how the dogs were!”
“Very fun yet sweet personality. You can tell she genuinely loves the pets she cares for! We have booked her twice now and will be looking at booking her in the future for our kitty and dog for whatever trips we want to go on next. Thank you Justelle!”
“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.”
“Julie was a great helping looking after my puppy! He was so well taken care of and it allowed me and my family to work stress free! Would 100% rebook with Julie in the future!!”
“Kimberly stayed with our pets, one dog and two cats, for a week while we traveled. We arrived home to very happy and relaxed pets! The house was in perfect order, the animals well cared for and Kimberly was great at communicating throughout her stay.”
“Junbo stayed overnight in my home for multiple nights and took wonderful care of my dogs. She sent lots of updates, photos, and videos, and it was clear from every one how happy, comfortable, and well loved they were. I really appreciated her communication and the peace of mind she gave me while I was away. My dogs were relaxed, content, and clearly well cared for — which matters most. I would absolutely book Junbo again and recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, attentive sitter. 🐾💛”
“Iris is an exceptional house sitter and pet sitter. My “slow to trust” cat was so comfortable with Iris he did not hide from her! Our dog loves all the attention and play time he gets while Iris is with him.”
“Shalindra was absolutely wonderful with our pup, Kahlua, while we were away. She went above and beyond in every way, even accommodating a last-minute flight delay and staying later than planned on her birthday to make sure Kahlua was cared for. We loved receiving daily updates and photos, and it was clear Kahlua had a great time with all of the park adventures and extra attention. When we returned, Kahlua was happy, freshly bathed, and our home was spotless. Shalindra was incredibly respectful of our house and treated both our dog and our home with so much care. We felt completely at ease knowing Kahlua was in such capable hands and would gladly trust Shalindra again in the future. Highly recommend!”
“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 😄”
“Tatyana was great! Super friendly and professional from the start. Took great care of my dogs and kept me updated every day with messages and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. The dogs were happy and relaxed when I got home. I’d definitely book with them again!”
“My mind was completely at ease while Brandi was sitting with our dog. When we had our meeting prior to the weekend she sat for us, Brandi was thorough with her questions for me which gave me confidence that she knew what she was doing. She gave us updates and by the pictures she sent I could tell Leia was happy and loved on. We will definitely have her sit with Leia again.”
“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!”
“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 😊”
“Our first time with Kseniia and she was super respectful, honest, kind and great with the dogs. Respectful to our home and the boundaries she and us have. Recomend her with full confidence if you need someone!”
“Anna saved my dogs life. Bronx was a senior pug, 16.5 and thank god Anna was the one watching him. He had a fainting episode while i was away and lost consciousness. Anna brought him back and took him to the ER where he was able to be treated and taken care of long enough for me to come home and get one last day with him. I owe Anna the world for being there, knowing what to do and caring so thoroughly for my little guy. She is hands down, without exaggeration, the best Dogsitter I’ve ever encountered and I’m eternally grateful for her.”
“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.”

Gaby is amazing. She was so wonderful with our dog and she is the kindest and most considerate person. She gave regular updates to us and was so attentive and thoughtful to our dog and his needs- he was very well cared for. She made everything a wonderful experience and we are looking forward to having her watch Henry again!
Junbo is someone I wish I could gatekeep 😂😭 she really loves animals and goes beyond what she needs to. I feel so safe when leaving Winnie with Junbo, and she has so much fun while with her. I get full rundown of what happened each day and feel at ease everytime. Thank you Junbo’n
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.
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.
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!

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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 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.
