About: I have grown up in a house full of cats and dogs, so I am no stranger to the late night zoomies or hairball. I have dog and cat sit my whole life and still love it! I am currently unemployed and doing side hustles, I have the time to dog walk, cat sit and stay the night if needed! I would love to take care of your pets! I live in a spacious apartment but prefer to pet sit at the clients place. I have one cat at home and have raised her since she kitten.
“Kayli was awesome! I could tell right away that she has a way with animals. My dog can be a bit wary of people, but she warmed up to Kayli immediately. She took care of our dogs with sincere care, and sent us several pics and updates throughout our trip. Furthermore, our place was immaculate when we came back. We will definitely use her again.”
“Katarina was communicative and helpful, I felt that my dogs were safe when I was out of town and service! She was so helpful at the last minute, and we will definitely book with her again!”
“Sophia came over the day before for a meet n greet and I immediately knew it would be a great fit. She stayed the night with my elderly dog and pup and gave them lots of love. I felt confident they were well taken care of. She sent pictures throughout her stay (which I love)! I plan on using her for over night stays in the future!”
About: Dogs have been my family my whole life! I grew up surrounded by dogs and have spent years learning their cues. I’m comfortable with all kinds of dogs and their needs. I’d love to treat your furry family members like my own! As a senior at WWU, I have a very consistent schedule that allows me to dedicate quality time to your pets. I am available most of the day on Thursday and Friday for daytime walks or sittings, and I’m wide open on evenings and weekends for overnight care or check-ins. I’m local to the area and can easily make your pet a priority during my off-school hours. I exclusively offer care in the client’s home, as I believe pets are happiest and most relaxed in their own environment. I am highly respectful of your space and privacy, and my goal is to keep your pet’s routine exactly as it is when you’re there. Whether it’s following specific feeding rituals or favorite walk routes, I make sure your home stays tidy and your pet feels secure and loved in their own domain.
“Shayla was very sweet with our kids, especially with our very senior Lady Ume. She kept us updated texting and with photos. Shayla was respectful of our home and we returned home to a clean and tidy house. We have already reserved Shayla for a second visit.”
“Daryia is the sweetest person ever!! She was amazing with our sweet dog and took such good care of him. Our dog is older and has a few heath issues and Daryia put so much thought and care into making sure he was okay. I can’t recommend Daryia enough!!”
“Jennifer is an amazing dog sitter. She took great care of our 85 pound Ollie. We are really grateful for Jennifer. This is the longest we have left our dog with anyone. We arrived home to a very happy well adjusted dog and beautiful garden! Thank you Jennifer!”
“Jayde took good care of our cat and dog while we were out of the country – especially Kitty, who needed insulin injections twice daily. And Harry really liked playing with Jayde’s dog, Marty. The house and animals were in good shape when we got back. Thank you!”
“Karla was amazing with Suds! I had way too many instructions, and he can sometimes be difficult so I was worried he would annoy a sitter. Karla listened to all my requests for updates and made Suds very comfortable. Would definitely work with her again!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Marietta-Alderwood
Analia went above and beyond while caring for our animals. She followed all instructions to a T, asked great questions, and spent lots of time with them. She was excellent at communication. She gave frequent updates and sent daily pictures, which made me feel so much better! I was able to relax knowing that my fur babies were in good hands! We will definitely be using her again, and would recommend her to friends as well.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Marietta-Alderwood on Rover is $38.85 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

As of August 2026, there are 726 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Marietta-Alderwood. 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 Marietta-Alderwood 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 Marietta-Alderwood 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 Marietta-Alderwood 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.
