“Nicole was AMAZING! 10/10! Benny can be a little temperamental and she was so patient and attentive to him. It’s a big deal to trust someone with your fur baby and I would absolutely recommend Nicole! You will be able to enjoy your time away knowing your pet is in the absolute best hands!”
“Liz was wonderful to work with! She sent consistent updates with pictures and videos which made me feel so confident our pup was well taken care of. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a dog sitter!”
About: I have cared for dogs, cats, chickens, pigs, fish, houseplants, and homes for over 35 years. I am responsible, dependable, and experienced with pet care. I am retired and have a flexible schedule to care for pets. I can work with you to find the best days, weeks, and time to care for your pets. I have a dog and cat and have a fenced yard. I am flexible on where to care for your pet, and in most cases it would be your home or nearby for walks.
About: I’ve taken care of all types of animals/pets. I can clean litter boxes and pick up poo with the best of them. I love to go on walks and scratches and pets are my favorite. I drive school bus, so I have a lot of time on my hands during the day. I take the summer off and should have lots of free time. I have a dog door and a fenced yard. I have 8 chickens and 3 cats and 2 rats and 1 doghtor. We are animal friendly. The cats will stay mostly hidden but one will come out and visit.
About: I'll love your pet like my own! I'm currently a graduate student at Boise State University. I am obtaining my masters degree in healthcare management. I have worked at St. Luke's for the past five years in the clinical setting. I was drawn to Rover because I am a dog lover and enjoy spending time walking, running, playing, etc. with animals! Perhaps I should have considered veterinary medicine as my career path instead of human medicine! I have been house sitting for the past five years, primarily for coworkers in the hospital. I typically care for the animals by playing and walking them. I love being active, in any form, and would love to have a fur friend to join me on my hikes/runs/walks! I look forward to meeting you and your fur baby! I’m currently working from home and have little time sensitive obligations, which I why I decide to spend my time doing something I love- spending time with animals 💕 I do not have a set up that I would feel comfortable taking your fur baby to my home. We live along a main road and do not have a fence, while this works for our dog, I wouldn’t want to risk it with anyone else’s. I would be happy to travel to your location and visit/sit your animal.
About: I have always been my friends and families go to dog/cat sitter. I am very attentive to the animal and their needs. I strive to make the pet feel as loved and comfortable as possible until their parent’s return 💗 I am currently working in a small insurance office in down town La Grande. This gives me a flexible schedule to walk/check in on your pet before work, lunch break and after work. These time stamps give a great balance through out the day giving the animal plenty of love. I can go to any clients home and give your fur baby unconditional love and attention. I currently do not live in a home that allows pets.
About: Your pet's happiness is my top priority. Let me be their trusted sitter! Don’t hesitate to reach out and let me know how I can help! I am more than happy to work around schedules to make it work! About me: I grew up with animals, I always had dogs and cats and for awhile farm animals. I have been able to help friends with pet when desperately needed. You can rely on me to be there. I have experience with taking care of my cat and dog on my own as well. I am typically work after hours, later in the day. So, I have lots of morning/early afternoon time available. I am available most days except Sunday morning for church. I have a a large fenced yard along with a nice sized dog pen. If the dog needs to be crated that can be accommodated.
About: Hey! I’m Andrew a professional photographer that loves hiking, fishing, & of course dogs and kitties!! I can teach your dog tricks!! I am very good at keeping pets well behaved and staying on track with your goals for your pet. I am a responsible pet caretaker that will value your pet just as much as you would yourself. I’m currently working as a Cellar supervisor in Walla Walla, you can often find me on my lunch breaks at my sisters hanging out with my her Australian Shepard & Red Heeler ♥️ I will not be accommodating any pets at my own place sadly. I have just moved to washington from Tennessee and will be here to dogsit, checkin, and walk only.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in La Grande on Rover is $38.85 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 11 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across La Grande. 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 La Grande 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 Grande 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 La Grande 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
