“Daisy was great and we would recommend her to anyone. She was our first pet/house sitter ever and she made our experience great. We came home and the house looked just like we left. She was great at sending pictures and video updates while we were away as well. Responsive, friendly, good w/ animals. Would absolutely book again.”
“Melissa is a PHENOMENAL Rover. Above and beyond. We've probably used 8-9 rovers across 3 states over the past 6 years and she is one of the best. Took the girls on extra long exercise down to their favorite beach and cleaned them off afterwards, took our trash out to the curb even when I forgot to ask, kept everything clean and checked in regularly. Even started wash with guest room sheets before she left. Most importantly, Happy happy dogs. Pictures of Tova (our more aloof pup) snuggling Melissa Day 1 spoke volumes. Will absolutely book with her whenever we can. 10/10”
“Kasey was incredible with our pups, Eddie and Jennie, while we were gone for five days. We told her all their little quirks and favorite things, and she was so thoughtful and accommodating with everything. She took them on hikes every day, planned play dates, sent us tons of pictures, and made sure they got all the cuddles they could ever want. We ended up having travel delays, and Kasey didn’t hesitate for a second she happily kept them an extra night and made the whole situation so much less stressful for us. We’d recommend Kasey over and over again. We’ll definitely be booking with her in the future! Thanks for being great Kasey 🤗”
“Chandra did a fantastic job taking care of our two mini-schnauzers and our house and garden and Little Free Library!! Her communication skills are absolutely perfect. I don't think you could do better than hire Chandra. She's coming again next month!!”
“Jerra was on time! My babies loved her. She went above and beyond and took them outside to play. She is kind and personable and truly loves animals. I would hire her again in a heartbeat!”
“Johanna was so attentive to my anxious little guy, taking the extra time and care to experiment with different ways to coax him to eat his less preferred soft foods after his oral surgery. She kept everything clean and tidy for me, was responsive and even proactive, and provided detailed updates twice a day as I requested. She even left a thoughtful hand written note for us when I got home about her stay, it was really special and I feel lucky to have found her on here. Big thank you Johanna, and highly recommend!”
“Fantastic It is always nice when you have to go out of town and don’t have to be worried or anxious about your pets. Robin was great in all around care of all our pets and the house. Fantastic”
“Zach is an outstanding dog watcher who recently house sat while I was out of town. He is extremely professional, thorough and does an excellent job communicating throughout the stay. Would highly recommend booking with Zach!”
“Karen stayed overnight in our home with our dogs for nine days. The dogs were happy, the house was clean when we returned, and her communication was consistent with daily photos and updates, which gave us peace of mind knowing they were so happy! Overall, a positive experience — we would definitely recommend her.”
“I had an outstanding experience with Erika dog sitting for multiple days. From the very beginning, communication was prompt, professional, and reassuring. When I was away, I received regular updates, photos, and messages that gave me complete peace of mind. Dogs were home happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for, which speaks volumes about the attention, patience, and genuine love Erika provided the pups. If you’re looking for someone who is dependable, trustworthy, and truly passionate about animals, I can’t recommend her highly enough. I will absolutely be using her services again and would confidently recommend her to anyone looking for exceptional pet care. Thank you for going above and beyond!”
“I was looking for someone who could give my cat his medicine and keep an eye on him incase he was in need of anything. Jenna was awesome and I can't wait to have her come cat sit again. Thank you Jenna!”
“Dianne house sat for my energetic pitbull, who has some anxiety/prey drive/reactivity behavioral challenges. She took good care of her and let me know things were going well. Thanks Dianne!”
“Hannah was absolutely amazing with our two dogs! Both of our boys are pretty anxious and take some time to warm up to new people, but Hannah immediately put our minds at ease during the meet-and-greet. She took such great care of them throughout the day, and we loved getting the cutest update photos of our boys having a great time with her! 🐶❤️ Thank you again, Hannah, for taking such wonderful care of our dogs and allowing us to enjoy our day out of town without worrying. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were happy and well cared for! We truly appreciate you! 🥰”
“Becky was really wonderful with our two dogs when we took a short vacation. My little adult chihuahua rescues 💕 loved her at first sight. Becky was quick to respond to messages and she sent several cute doggie photos everyday. She came to my home two times before we left. The Meet n Greet lasted more than an hour. The second time was for my dogs to be comfortable with her. I highly recommend using Becky!”
“Laura was very communicative and even helped me out a few times with some things I needed because I’m in the middle of a move. She’s so sweet and understanding, and my babies love her!!”
“Just got home and found my very spoiled pups were well cared by Laurin! She kept me posted which I really appreciate and left the house virtually untouched. I will be hiring her again!!!”
About: I’ve had dogs, cats, and horses all my life. I have watched older dogs who needed daily medicine and high energy dogs who need frequent walks. With 2 cat fur babies myself, I love animals! I moved to the area recently and love meeting new people and their pets, of course! I am pursuing pet sitting full-time while getting my Masters degree. I take on any booking I receive if I have room in my schedule (which I usually do😊). For house-sitting services, I provide overnight care and maintain your pet’s normal routine. I may leave throughout the day for school, family events, leisure, etc. but I will always make sure to give your pet the attention they need and deserve! I am very attentive so I will be sure to notice anything out of the sort and unfamiliar. I also love to play, pet, and interact with pets so that they are getting attention and love while their family is away.
The median cost per night for house sitting in Lacey is $50
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Lacey
This was our first time using Rover and booking with Erika. We couldn’t have asked for a better person to care for Leonard in our home while we were away. Leo is a shy and often skittish senior cat. He is pretty set in his ways and has a fair amount of quirks to his care. Very quickly, we felt confident and comfortable that Erika connected with Leonard and was thoughtfully following our guidance perfectly. She sent us daily updates and adorable pictures, asked questions when needed and made an effort each day to figure out what he liked and needed. It was fun to see Leonard doing things at home that we thought he wouldn’t do while we were away, like being carried, danced with, rolling around on his back, playing with toys, and cuddling in bed or in a blanket fort. This was a testament to how comfortable he was with Erika and the time she spent with him. Erika navigated the quirks of our old home and left it immaculately clean and tidy. She communicated clearly with us, was kind and responsive. Thank you Erika for a helping us enjoy our vacation, knowing we didn’t have to worry about anything while we were away!
Ella did a wonderful job with my pets. She was incredibly reliable with timely updates and sent great pictures that I loved receiving. It was clear my furbabies felt entirely safe around her - even my shy cat who normally avoids strangers came out and let Ella pet him. I will definitely use her services again.
Maria was a pleasure to work with and have stay at our house to watch our two dogs. She sent pictures daily and the house was left in such good shape that we didn’t need to do a thing when we returned. It was a real relief to have the pups stay in their own home rather than get boarded.
She did a great job taking care of Winston while I was away! He isn’t always the easiest pup to care for, but everything seemed to go really well and he was happy and comfortable when I got home. She also left my apartment exactly how I left it, which I really appreciated. It was so nice coming home to a happy pup and a clean space. Thank you for taking such good care of him!
Kaitlin was wonderful with my high-needs rescue doe, Joannie. First, she communicated quickly and clearly. As I made (unfortunately) last minute changes, Kaitlin was understanding and flexible. When I returned home from my day away, my dog was calm and clearly at ease; Kaitlin's the first outside-of-family dog sitter I've used, and it was a huge relief to find her.
Hannah was fantastic with my two pups! She was responsible, trustworthy, and a great communicator from start to finish. I really appreciated the updates and knowing my dogs were in such good hands while I was away. They were happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for when I got home. I’m super happy with the care she provided and will definitely be using Hannah again. Highly recommend! 🐾❤️

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Lacey on Rover is $55.5 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 1,674 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Lacey. 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 Lacey 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 Lacey 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 Lacey 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 with handling special pet needs in Lacey. On Rover:
- 97% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% can help with daily exercise
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.
