“Veronica took such great care of Henry! She was prompt, communicative and sent lots of photos. I arrived home to a healthy and happy pup! Will definitely be asking her to come sit again!”
“Avalon took great care of our two dogs and cat while we were on vacation for a week. She went above and beyond. She took the dogs for separate walks each day. She provided daily updates and pictures, and followed all of our instructions/requests. Avalon also took care of all the bedding and garbage from the week, which is usually chores we take care of after returning home. It was a great help!”
“Adeline did a great job. Exactly what we asked for. She checked in with us during her stay. Respoinsive when we contacted her. Foxy and Gray Guy were fine when we got home.”
“Parrish was absolutely great! The boys loved having her here and she took great care of them and the house. Very communicative and will love your pets like her own. Thanks Parrish!!”
“Mackenzie is skilled with animals and was able and to build a rapport with my skittish cat quickly. This was a warm up meeting for a longer visit this summer. She has put my mind at ease that he will be well cared for when I am gone.”
“Kaylee was great! My pups have some special needs and are not the.best rained. Kaylee did a fantastic job making them feel safe and happy. I will definitely look to book Kaylee again!”
About: I have trained my dog as a service animal from ages 14-16. He is able to do tasks such as harm prevention, getting an adult, and deep pressure therapy. He also knows basic commands such as sit, down, shake, roll over, wait, stay, and "all done" I have experience rescuing and fostering a puppy, potty training him and teaching him basic commands. I have a cat and have cat sitted for many years for neighbors. I also took care of my teachers baby bunny in 2018, as she entrusted me out of every student to take care of the bunny, Saturn. As a student currently in community college at PCC, and a future RN, I am busy with school. Thanks to PCC and modern technology however, I am able to do most of my classes online through individual learning. I have no weekly commitments I have to attend, leaving me open to do anything you require me to for your fur babies! Starting in October, I am starting my CNA program which will be full-time but we can discuss the Fall/Winter season in depth if you’re interested! If I am allowed to bring your pets to my home, I have a lovely sprawling 1,000 SQFT backyard with lots of grass and area to run in. I also have my own dog (professionally trained and not a barker) who loves other animals (including cats!) so your baby can play with him if you request it. If not, I can put him in an entirely different area so they won't interact. My neighborhood, Robinwood, is absolutely beautiful to walk around, with a public playground, trails, and a river a block away I can take your dog to if you wish! In your home, I will do what you ask me to, whether its just hanging with your dog outside, feeding them, cleaning up a bit around the house, or just dropping in to say "hi" and get some playtime in. Just let me know!
“Tayler did a great job of watching our pets for the week. She was patient with our chihuahua mix that has a hard time trusting new people. She sent photos and checked in every day. Our pets were happy when we got home and our house was just as we left it. Would definitely recommend Tayler for pet sitting!”
“Emma is the best sitter! Not only did she take great care of my cat, but she also kept me updated on her health issues and how she was doing afterward. I often worry about my cat during trips and have trouble enjoying myself, but this time I was able to relax and have fun. I definitely want to ask her to take care of my cat again”
“She was so great. Dogs were really happy and she even trimmed our doodles eyes so she could see. We are behind schedule for her grooming. :) Would have her again anytime we need to seek out a dog sitter again in future if she’d have us as clients again 🦋”
“Finn loved Natalie! That alone says enough, but Natalie also was great about staying in touch and sending updates and photos. On top of all that, she left my house spotless! Great experience all around!!”
“Mark did a great job house sitting our cat and dog. Our dog also had a minor back injury that he helped give special care for. Lots of check ins and photo which we appreciated. Will definitely hire him again.”
About: Hello! My name is Rahul (say the “h”). I have had experiences with all kind of dogs. I feel there no need for a preference. Every dog can be loved. I know how hard it is to find a good sitter for your pets and that is why I wanted to do this.I've always had dog(s) in my household growing up. I've seen them all, hyper dogs, lazy dogs, mean dogs, social dogs, and dogs that think that they're human. In my experience in dealing with all of these personalities I've noticed one trait that is essential in dog-care, patience. Patience is something that I have no shortage of, I've seen it all. I am are looking forward to helping you and your family! Can’t wait to take care of your pet! As a full-time Doctor of Physical Therapy student, I have a structured schedule that gives me flexibility throughout the week for dog walks, drop-in visits, and house sitting. Spending time with pets is a great way for me to take a break from studying, get outside, and stay active, so it's something I genuinely look forward to. I'm committed to being reliable, punctual, and communicative. Whether you need someone to walk your dog, check in on your pets during the day, or stay in your home while you're away on vacation, I'll treat your pets and your home with the same care and respect I would my own. I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you can relax knowing your pets are safe, happy, and well cared for. Your pet's safety, comfort, and routine are always my top priorities. I know that every pet is different, so I take the time to learn their personality, preferences, and any special instructions before caring for them. When caring for pets in your home, I do my best to keep their routine as consistent as possible—from feeding schedules and walks to playtime and cuddles. I treat every home with respect, keeping it clean, secure, and exactly as I found it. For dog walks, I prioritize safe routes, secure leashing, and positive interactions with people and other animals. I always pay close attention to your dog's body language and energy level to make sure they're comfortable and having a great time. Communication is important to me, so I'll send regular updates and photos during each visit or stay. My goal is for you to enjoy your time away with complete peace of mind, knowing your pet is being cared for with patience, kindness, and genuine attention.
“We couldn't have asked for a better pet sitter! It was such a relief knowing our pets were happy, loved, and well cared for in their familiar environment. Mercedes kept us updated, was incredibly reliable, and left our home in great condition. We would absolutely trust her with our pets again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for exceptional pet care.”
“Jamie was everything you hope for in a pet sitter. The dogs were relaxed and in great spirits when we got home and the house was spotless. Jamie sent pictures and communicated regularly letting us know how everything was going. We have to French bulldogs that both have daily meds and he kept everything organized and on schedule.”
“FANTASTIC 🎉 Lucinda provided such amazing care for my 2 puppers. Lucinda stay at my home for a week and cared for my puppers. I felt so comfortable and was able to enjoy my vacation. She communicated daily with updates and photos. I felt such ease knowing that my babies were getting their medicine and all the cuddles while I was away. As an added bonus she left my home cleaner than it was when I left for vacation.🤩”
“It was great to work with Kallie! She communicated with us while we were away to make sure she was handling medication correctly and checked the mail for more medication to arrive. She contacted our daughter to confirm the handover to her at the end of the weekend. Kallie was very responsible and we would definitely like to work with her again.”
“Lisa is an amazing sitter. She is extremely communicative and responsive, and shows a true love for our dog, Carmela. She is very thoughtful and loves taking Carmela out for special trips and treats. Highly recommend!”

Avalon was absolutely wonderful! She took excellent care of my eight years old dachshund Strudi and the home, and I felt completely at ease knowing he was with her. She was so thoughtful and attentive, and even baked homemade treats for Strudi and left him a sweet little toy that he absolutely adores. It was clear how much care and affection she gave him. I would happily have Avalon take care of Strudi again and highly recommend her!
Kaylee was great. It was our first time leaving our dog at home for an extended trip. She gave us updates with pictures, took her on walks, took her to the park, everything was in great shape when we got back. She also took great care of our cat. We would definitely use her services again.
Chanel took such excellent care of our dog, Ralph. He seemed a bit depressed to see her go! He loved all the 1:1 attention she gave him, along with all the walks. Chanel sent us the cutest videos and pictures while we were away. I will book Chanel again and again!
Sydney has watched our two dogs twice now, and we couldn't be happier with the care she provides. She's an excellent communicator, keeping us updated while we're away, which gives us so much peace of mind. We always come home to two happy, healthy dogs and an incredibly clean house. It's clear she genuinely cares for our dogs and treats our home with respect. We highly recommend Sydney to anyone looking for a reliable, thoughtful, and trustworthy pet sitter.

This was our first time using Rover, and we had a wonderful experience. Janice was incredibly warm, caring, and attentive, and took excellent care of our dog while we were away. She kept us updated throughout the weekend with messages and photos, which gave us great peace of mind. We would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy dog sitter.
Brennan was wonderful with our two dogs and cat while we were away. He provided excellent care, kept us updated with great communication, and left the house in perfect condition when we returned. We felt completely at ease knowing our pets were in such good hands. Highly recommend!
This was the first time Lisa stayed with our golden Beatrice. She was great!! She took excellent care of Beatrice and our home. We came back to happy dog and a clean home. Lisa sent regular updates and photos and left a detailed care sheet for us with everything that she did each day. She followed our instructions for Beatrice perfectly. I highly recommend Lisa to take care of your pets. We will definitely rebook Lisa in the future.
Carly was amazing! Very accommodating last minute to come earlier due to a sudden family loss. She had great communication the entire time and sent tons of pics! Not to mention, Sampson adored her. 😻Already rebooked her and could not be happier with her communication and respect for our home.

FAQs for House Sitting - Marylhurst
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Marylhurst on Rover is $53.28 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 4,554 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Marylhurst. 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 Marylhurst 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 Marylhurst 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 Marylhurst 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.
