“This was my first time using Rover and I could not be more pleased with how it all worked out. Starting with how easy it was to schedule. Victoria was very easy to work with and communicated with me throughout the complete process from the meet and greet to locking the door on her way out in the end. She sent pictures ever day and I came how to a happy hound dog. I look forward to scheduling her again.”
About: I've spent year carrying for pets of my own and understand how important it is to have someone dependable looking after them. I'm comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, basic routines, and giving pets plenty of attention while their family is away. I'm patient, responsible, and will follow your care instructions closely so your pets can stay comfortable and maintain their normal routine. I work during the school day, which leaves me available for pet care in the afternoons, evenings, and on many weekends. I can provide walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, and other scheduled care around my work schedule. I keep my Rover availability updated so pet patents can easily see when I'm available. Your pet's safety and comfort are my priorities. I carefully follow each pet parent's instructions regarding feeding, walks, medications, routines, doors, gates, crates, and interactions with other animals. I take time to learn each pet's personality and needs, provide attentive supervision, and will communicate with you throughout their care so you know how they're doing.
“Katherine did a great job taking care of our dog and the house. We really appreciated her updates, communication, and cleanliness. We would highly recommend her and will be reaching out again in the future!”
“We hired Nancy to watch our 10 year old lab, Molly. Nancy is friendly and met with us twice before we left to make sure she knew Molly’s routine. We were gone for 10 days. We received daily updates and pictures of Molly’s adventures while going on walks. Nancy genuinely cares for your pet. We feel so blessed to have found Nancy on Rover.com. Everything was left in order when she finished the job. We appreciate her love for our Molly girl. Thanks so much, Nancy, for taking such good care of Molly. We will use Nancy’s services whenever possible for our getaways.”
“Erica was awesome! She did a walk-through with us using the video chat feature in Rover, which worked really well. Erica did everything we asked, sent us pictures of our doggies and left our home just the way we left it. It was like no one was here. I will definitely book her again. Thanks, Erica!”
“Victoria is amazing! We were struggling with leaving our fur babies for a week, but Victoria put our mind at ease. She took such good care of our babies and home. When she stopped by to drop off the key all of our dogs (3 of them) were excited to see her again. To top it off, she is just a genuinely amazing person that is kind and trustworthy. We will absolutely be using her in the future.”
“We needed a somewhat last minute sitter and Anthony was available. He stayed with our animals for a little over a week and we came home to some happy pets. It was easy and so reassuring to know our loved pets were in such great hands.”
“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”
About: My family has owned dogs and cats since before I have memories. I was that kid that preferred to watch Animal Planet and I've always been passionate about all critters. I started working as a stable hand with horses when I was only 10. I also worked at Sumner Veterinary Hospital in the boarding facility for a little over a year and received employee of the month twice in that time. During my time working at Sumner Vet I worked with all breeds and temperaments! It truly was some of the most rewarding work of my life. I currently have one 25lb mutt dog that I love and my first personal dog was my Rottie mix, Rocky. My family housed dogs and cats of every kind. I'm not skitish when it comes to "large personalities" and am confident in getting to know your fur baby at their pace. Know that with me, your fur babies are in loving, patient and experienced hands I currently work as a dog trainer and am attending school for behavior modification. I love walks myself and can't wait to walk your puppers. I have experience handling every kind of dog, and cat. From sweet and excited to shy or reactive. I can administer medications and am very thorough in following house schedules and plans
About: Hi, I’m Sarah! I have 17 years of experience caring for dogs and cats of different ages, sizes, and personalities. I understand that every pet has their own routine, comfort level, and unique needs, so I take the time to help them feel safe, loved, and at home. I’m dependable, patient, attentive, and committed to following your instructions carefully. Whether your pet enjoys playtime, walks, cuddles, or simply having a calm companion nearby, I’ll provide the same loving care and attention I would want for my own pets. I’ll also keep you updated so you can feel comfortable and confident while you’re away. I’m a stay-at-home mom who loves animals, so pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I’m home throughout much of the day and can plan walks, feeding, playtime, and check-ins around each pet’s needs. I’ll confirm availability and care instructions with you before booking. My home sits on half an acre with a fully fenced yard, giving pets plenty of safe space to run, play, and explore. Pets are welcome throughout my large, pet-friendly home so they can feel comfortable and relaxed while staying with us. We live in a quiet, friendly neighborhood with walking areas and a dog park nearby. For the safety and comfort of all pets in my care, I keep boarding limited and carefully select the animals I welcome into my home. I focus on providing personalized attention and maintaining a calm, low-stress environment rather than boarding large numbers of pets at once.
“Katey was amazing. She was very communicative and attuned to my pets needs and personalities. She was reliable and I came home to happy pets. I would definitely use her again!!”
“Truly the pet whisperer! She stayed with my pets for most of the day and my cats instanty warmed up to her. My dogs loved her and felt right at ease with her. She did phenomenally and I'd definitely rebook with he!”
“Short version: Ruby speaks pet! Long version: Ruby was a pet whisperer the moment she met my dog; he totally loved on her (he's not picky but he definitely has his favorites). During the meet & greet I could tell she understood how important sticking to a schedule was, which meant a lot. But going back really quick, what meant the most to me was her empathy (we both want the best for our pets), and this is what made Ruby a trusted sitter. Thank you Ruby, so very much!!”
“Gisella was an outstanding pet sitter. She went above and beyond to care for my 11 years old golden retriever, Samhara. The two bonded instantly. She played with Sam, walked her, fed her and when time came for Gisella to leave, Sam was glued to her; wouldn’t want her to go. I can’t describe the feeling of knowing that your dog is happy and safe while you travel. I highly recommend Gisella!”
About: Hello! I provide reliable, loving care and treat every pet like family. I’m experienced with a variety of needs, including feeding routines, exercise, and caring for both young and senior pets with patience and attention. I am available Sunday through Saturday from 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. for animal walks and drop-in visits. I'm here to help make your day a little easier while providing your pets with the care and attention they deserve. I will come to your home to care for your pet, including playtime, feeding, and walks. I make sure each pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away.
“Jessica is awesome, and so is George! Our dog Bria is very much a home body and picky about the humans she chooses to befriend. Bria and Jessica did great together, and Bria loved playing with George! Jessica communicates well and was a pleasure to work with. We would not hesitate to use Jessica again. Bria said it's okay, and she's the one we are trying to please! :-)”
“Holly is an excellent sitter who I would absolutely recommend to anyone who needs a sitter for a quick check in or for a longer stay. She watched my dogs for a week while I was across the country and she was communicative and went the extra mile to make sure my dogs were comfortable. I’ve used her multiple times in the past and it’s always been a great experience. Holly is also very flexible for emergencies and changes in schedules. I will continue to use her in the future!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Kapowsin
Evan was so very accommodating with my ever-changing schedule! He and Quinn stayed in my home for a week, caring for my 4 dogs and 1 cat. They were punctual and friendly and my pets were happy and safe with them while I was gone. I will be contacting them the next time I take a trip, so that is the highest recommendation I can give them.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 2,536 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Kapowsin. 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 Kapowsin 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 Kapowsin 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 Kapowsin 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.
