“Jasra was amazing with my girls and my home. My house was cleaner than when I left it. My girls were happy while I was away and sad to see Jasra leave. I will definitely be asking her to come stay with my babies again!”
“Mary house sat for us and took care of our two pitbulls while we were on vacation! The house was in great condition when we got home and she sent photos of the dogs while we were away. I would book with her again!”
“I highly recommend Francisca to anyone who is considering engaging pet care with Rover. Francisca was exceptionally considerate with her daily care and communication regarding my fur baby and she took great care of my home! 100% amazing!”
“Our family needed Jacob during a very difficult time. Jacob was kind, prompt, and immediately hit it off with our girls (Bear and Tookie). He was available to provide last minute care for our fur babies and sent updates daily on their well-being. We will definitely utilize Jacob‘s services in the future. He comes highly recommended by all our family members!”
“Shelby was fantastic! We have booked with her before and will book with her again. She took great care of Minka (our old kitty) who has some health issues and needs medication. Minka usually gets stressed when we leave and Shelby was able to keep her happy, healthy, loved, and entertained. She sent us great pictures and kept our house clean and our garden watered. She was exactly what we needed, communicated well and understood all our instructions.”
“Erin was awesome and took great care of our dogs. Did a great job walking a large pit bull and stubborn bull dog. Gave us regular updates. 10/10 would recommend.”
“Brooklyn is a dog whisperer! She took incredible care of our two dogs! She was so sweet, our dogs loved her, very communicative, lovely photos, and extremely reliable. Highly highly recommend her! We will be booking with her again.”
About: I have three years of professional pet care experience, giving me a deep understanding of how to keep dogs and cats safe, happy, and completely comfortable while their owners are away. Over the years, I have worked with a wide variety of animals with different personalities, energy levels, and temperaments, which has taught me how to adapt quickly to whatever a pet needs. Whether I am managing precise daily feeding routines, keeping high-energy dogs active and engaged through structured playtime, or providing quiet, gentle companionship for older pets, I approach every interaction by treating them as if they were my own. I always stay attentive to animal body language and behavior so I can catch any subtle shifts in mood or appetite, ensuring they stay content and secure from start to finish. Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine because I work part-time right in the heart of Battle Ground and balance it with a flexible college schedule. This setup gives me plenty of open time throughout the week and on weekends to dedicate undivided attention, care, and playtime to pets. Additionally, caring for five of my own cats at home means feline care and daily routines are already second nature to me, allowing me to easily adapt my schedule to meet any pet's specific needs. When caring for pets in either my home or a client home, my approach focuses on creating a secure, calm, and deeply comforting environment tailored to their exact needs. In my own home, we have two wonderful dogs, a beagle hound mix and an Anatolian shepherd, alongside five cats, meaning I am exceptionally experienced in managing multi pet dynamics, diverse temperaments, and varying energy levels. Whether I am caring for high energy kittens, elderly cats requiring medication and specialized feeding routines, or dogs needing a watchful eye, I treat every animal as if they were my own. I stay deeply attentive to their behavior and body language, ensuring they feel completely safe and secure while their owners are away.
“Venessa was nothing short of amazing. We last minute needed someone to stay with our dogs for a day while we were at work and she answered the call! I was sent pictures of my 3 fur babies all day with constant updates and communication. I will without a doubt be calling on Venessa again when we need someone to stay with the dogs.”
“Shane was awesome. We felt very comfortable after meeting him that he would do a good job taking care of our dogs. He even took out our garbage and recycling cans for pickup and brought in the mail. Thanks Shane!!”
About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was 6. I grew up with a dog, people we knew had dogs, and we always had at least 1 cat in our care. Animals were what I knew. And still do. I’m intuitive when it comes to your furry child’s needs and currently look over the pets of my family and friend’s while they’re away. I can generally get somewhere after work at around 530pm. I love to walk and can provide daily walks for pets. On the weekends, I can make myself available for all day and care :) I’m in a small new studio so I’d prefer to watch pets at their homes. Many animals feel more at home in their familiar environment, removing the extra anxiety since they may already be stressed without their caregiver. I’m very attentive to your furry child’s needs, with water, food, walks, playtime, basic training etc. :)
About: My family has had dogs my whole life, and I personally have owned a dog since the age of 8. I have also happily taken care of friends animals since the age of 10, and dog sat for for others since the age of 15. I’m currently a full time student who is working part time, so late afternoon and evenings are the best time for me to give attention to the dogs:) I am happy to provide some extra love and attention to animals based on their needs. Whether that be playing outside, going for a walk, or some good belly rubs.
“Michaela is one of the most organized dog sitters we have ever worked with! She’s got a great routine down and made sure to stop by in advance to learn our routine. She is very easy is to work with and I highly recommend her! Reliable, great communication, friendly, clean, organized, and super kind.”
“Theresa took great care of our pups, and provided photos and update's during the stay. We appreciate that she made sure each dog was comfortable, while making sure all their needs were met. We will be using Theresa again for any future pet sitting needs.”
About: I was raised with animals all of my life, I am used to animals of all sizes and I love all animals, I have been raised with dogs, cats, rabbits, and chickens. I'm available any time, night or day with notice, I have a very open schedule and am more then willing to move things around to accommodate requests. I triple check before opening the front door to make sure the animals don't get out, I make sure they are fed and have water i also make sure to keep all dangerous and/or harmful things away from any animal, when I take dogs on walks, I always make sure I'm between them and the road.
“Jennah was fantastic. Our pets absolutely love her and she sent us regular updates and pictures of them which was wonderful. She is our number one go to person to help take care of our pets and I highly recommend her. Thank you so much Jennah for taking such good care of our fur babies”
“Kat is amazing, she took great care of the beasts and my home. She updates regularly without me needing to check in, which is great cuz I worry a bit but also don’t want to be a bother. One of my dogs has pretty bad separation anxiety so coming home to see both dogs calm and happy with her was fantastic! 10 outta 10, will be using again.”

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 La Center 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 La Center 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 La Center 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.
