“Heather was great watching Cooper again! We really appreciate her communication and flexibility. The house was spotless when we returned and Ccoper was sad to see her go.”
“Rachel was so great with my anxious dog. He is terrified of fireworks and he was comfortable staying with Rachel for New Year’s Eve. She was also wonderful at sending photos and updates through the stay. I would most definitely contact her to dog sit again.”
“Erika was fantastic! She was really good about getting to know us and our pets and their needs. She handled all the details very well including pet medicines. She was a great communicator and the pets loved her! Will hire again, for sure.”

“Johanna is an absolute gem! We have a rescue dog who’s still learning to trust new people. It was our first time away from him and she was so patient and attentive with his unique needs. She sent great photos and updates and reached out with questions when needed. We came home to a happy, relaxed pup and she took beautiful care of our home as well. Highly recommend!”

Most importantly, she was very sweet to our babies, and that means the world to us. 🐾💕”

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.
Kylie did a wonderful job house-sitting and caring for our two cats and puppy! She was kind, reliable, and communicative, and she took excellent care of our animals and home. We felt completely at ease knowing our pets were in such good hands. Highly recommend!
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! 🐾❤️
Hands down, the best sitter ever! My dogs absolutely adored her, she was incredibly trustworthy, responsible, communication was excellent, just the best! Sent tons of pictures, made moments when I missed my dogs easier by sending me candid pics and knowing my dogs were being genuinely cared for in my absence made my short trip not feel so long!!

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.

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.
