“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!”
“Tabitha was absolutely amazing! She was open to meeting before watching my two boys. They loved her right away. I appreciate her communication style and her attention to detail. She went above and beyond. Came home to clean house and she did the laundry even. She’s wonderful and I most definitely hope she’s available when I go out of town again! Thank you for making my trip that much better because I knew my boys were in good hands!”
“Simply, Adeline was a perfect pet sitter in pur home. Our little dog is 16 years old and doesn't hear. He also was highly traumatized before we adopted him, so new people make him very agitated. deline was amazing with him. She was kind enough to agree to a pre vacation meetup before our holiday. She listened to our concerns and clearly treated him well. By the time we came home a week later, she was his bestie. Adeline sent us photos periodically with updates and seemed to really care about them, offering to sit for us again in the future. We're so grateful to Adeline for her patience and care; she made it possible for me to relax on vacation knowing they were in good hands. Thank you Adeline!”
“Tayler was amazing! She stayed with Koda, sent lots of pictures/videos, and was very responsive. Thank you, we’ll definitely be reaching out for your services again 😊”
“Carly took unbelievably loving and conscientious care of our small dog and large cat for an extended weekend. She gave us frequent updates with sweet pictures, asked us thoughtful clarifying questions about their feeding and care, and left the house absolutely immaculate. We are incredibly moved and will be booking Carly again!”
“Matt was an excellent pet sitter. He was extremely easy to work with and took great care of our house and pets while we were away. He was always quick to respond, and I feel he went above and beyond to ensure we came home to a well-kept home and pets.”
“emma is an angel who puts anxious pups and their even more anxious owners at ease 😭 had a last minute change before I had to leave town for 3 days that required much more extensive care for my pup than initially anticipated and she was so understanding, willing to adjust, and communicative. i rlly cant thank her enough. also im pretty sure my pup was upset i got back and emma had to leave 😂 as an incredibly anxiously attached pup mama, i 100% recommend her to anyone!!”
“Johnna was a great dog/house sitter! She was able to watch my dog, Rocco, on very short notice and still came to meet with both of us before watching him. She sent me frequent pictures of Rocco and other updates while watching him and left my home as clean as when I left! I will be booking again :)”

About: I bring over 5 years of hands-on pet care experience across long-term house sitting, international shelter work, and specialized medical care. My background includes a 6-month, full-time house sit caring for three dogs and two cats, where I managed strict health regimens—including administering medications every 2 hours at precise times for a dog with a neurological seizure disorder, treating skin conditions and wounds, and managing flea care. I am trained in emergency response and comfortable handling complex medical schedules. Additionally, I volunteered for a year at a shelter in India caring for 60+ dogs, providing physical therapy to paralyzed dogs, assistance with vaccinations, behavioral training, and custom dietary meal prep.

Because I specialize in caring for anxious cats and special needs pets, I maintain a calm, quiet, and secure environment tailored to your pet's specific routine and comfort level.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Marylhurst
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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Marylhurst is $53 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $35 and $83 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

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 , 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.
