“Donna is amazing!! She took excellent care of our two dogs and cat while we were on vacation for a week. She took great care of our house, walked the dogs and took them to park for exercise. This was our first trip without the dogs and felt very reassured knowing they were in good hands. I would highly recommend Donna and plan on requesting her in the future.”
“We like Matthew and were very pleased with the care he provided for our 2 dogs and our home while we were traveling out of the country for 3 weeks. Our dogs love him and he was always very understanding of their unique personalities, behaviors & preferences. He provided updates with photos throughout our time away and was very responsive to our messages as we checked in on our dogs, despite the 8 hour time difference between Washington State and the United Kingdom. We would gladly trust him with our dogs & our home again in the future!”
About: I’ve been around pets my whole childhood and my neighbors dog was twice my size and walking him was no issue. I’ve had cats my whole life and am somewhat of a whisperer. I’ve taken care of rodents as well when I had a pet rat. I am always available for any pet sitting needs. I currently don’t have a job or school lined up so I am all yours anytime of the week. I love playing with pets because it makes me feel like a kid and that’s really special. I can adapt to any process you might have to care for your pets. I am a kind and gentle soul for pets to warm up too. I have the stamina to keep up with energetic dogs aswell.
“Hailey was amazing. We were in a bind, 3,000 miles away, when our pet sitter bailed on us. Hailey agreed to come the next day and care for our dog and cat. Such a huge relief and we are very grateful !!!”
About: I have a giant 110 pound dog and I have been walking him for years. I have a lot of experience with walking all types of dogs, big, small, reactive, and trained. I currently only do DoorDash deliveries and Instacart deliveries for income, so my schedule is flexible and open. This is what I’m looking to do for income. I won’t necessarily be able to bring the dogs to my house because one of my dogs is not too fond of other dogs, but I can walk your dogs and feed your cats.
“Holly was fantastic with our animals (2 cats, a dog, and a pond)! While we were away on our 8 day trip she sent us some photos, which helped us know they were in good hands. And when we came back, they were only slightly perturbed at our absence, which is to be expected. Would totally have her watch our animals and house again!”
About: I am someone who truly believes that pets are an important part of the family. I have cared for dogs and cats with different personalities, routines and needs over the years and have a background in health care. I am confident I can take excellent care of your pets and give them the fulfillment they need while you are away! I am available daily with no set schedule. I have made the difficult decision to leave the nursing profession after 20 years to do something that brings me joy. I will respect your home and the pet’s environment as if it were my own. I am comfortable being in any type of environment and will follow whatever schedule and routine you need me to in order to care for your baby the best way possible.
“Madison took excellent care of my dogs and my home. My elderly dog loved her so much, he almost wanted to go home with her when she left. She walked, fed, and loved them well so that I had no worries while gone, and happy dogs upon my return.”
“Carlynn was an absolute gem and was kind enough to book on short notice after an abrupt and unforeseen cancelation from another Rover sitter. Carlynn did a perfect job of caring for my 17-year-old Coton du Tulear, Cassie. My Cassie is blind and deaf, frail, has kidney disease and also has no teeth anymore after they were removed. But she is still very sweet and Carlynn brought out the best in her, hand-feeding her, keeping her hydrated and treating her like a cherished pet of her own. I'm happy to recommend Carlynn to anyone who wants a kind, gentle, top-notch person. Thanks again Carlynn.”
About: I am an experienced dog mom and dog whisperer. I have cared for all kinds of dogs small and large, young and old and special needs as well. I’m currently available full time for daytime and overnight (in your home) pet care. I use local beaches, parks and hiking trails for walking and sniff enrichments as well as fenced dog parks if your pup is amiable to that environment! I have a dog to keep yours company and play together. I walk them 3-4 times a day for enrichment and potty breaks. My pup enjoys rolling in the grass and watching for rabbits and squirrels.
“Martina was very professional and did a good job taking care of dogs that were bigger than her! We had one dog that was very needy with lots of medicine and she was able to stick to the schedule and keep his healing on schedule. The dogs were just as happy when we came back as when we left so we know she took care of our dogs as if they were her own.”
“Zoe took amazing care of my dog. She was so kind and responsible. My dog has some specific needs and she handled it all so wonderfully. I asked her to stay at my house and she even washed the sheets! I would 1000% recommend her.”
About: I have owned and cared for a menagerie of animals including, but not limited to, dogs, cats, fish, rabbits, and yes, a mini donkey. Whether you need a zoo keeper or care for a single, well-loved pet, I’m looking forward to meeting you and the animals you share a home with! I’m working at Mt Baker so I’m waiting on winter to start my seasonal job which gives me plenty of time to dedicate to your pets. I am available to visit or stay in my clients’ homes. I am also more than happy to complete any additional house-sitting tasks if needed like plant-watering or retrieving packages.
“Ashley and Zachary are absolutely wonderful. Our pup had to have multiple teeth removed a few days ahead of our trip and I was so nervous about leaving him and also tasking his sitters with giving him medicine multiple times a day. Ashley and Zachary were an absolute dream in this scenario. They took such good care of Fox and and gave him all the care and cuddles that he needed (we gleaned this from the wonderful updates and pics they shared with us regularly). They will be our first call from here on when we need care for our precious pup and our home too.”
“Kwame was communicative and made sure to send lots of pictures! When we got home, our house was clean with the sheets and towels loaded in the wash and ready to go. We'll definitely be booking with Kwame again.”

“Adam is amazing! He is extremely reliable and personable with both people and pets. We booked Adam to watch our dog for several days. He responded very quickly to our request, and kept constant communication with us even as we worked out the details of when we would need him to sit. Our dog is not the easiest dog to sit, but Adam took on the challenge with a very positive attitude and the patience of a person who loves all pets at first sight. I recommend Adam for your pet sitting needs. I don't think you will find a better pet sitter in the area. Thanks Adam!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 846 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Lake Cavanaugh. 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 Lake Cavanaugh 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 Lake Cavanaugh 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 Lake Cavanaugh 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.
