“Meredith was available on late notice to watch our particular pup and it went fantastic! She is a great communicator and we felt very comfortable having her stay in our home. Meredith sent photos and updates while we were away, and gave a great summary (meds given, food ate and last potty break) before she left. Our 4 yo anxious dog loved her and we would absolutely hire her again. Thanks Meredith!”
“We had a wonderful experience leaving our super anxious poodle mix with Betty! She was so patient and took great care of our pets and home. We look forward to booking her again :)”
“Monique truly went above and beyond expectations! Our dog Penny is very leary of new people, and Monique persevered and totally won her over. Penny was very happy and well cared for, plus we came home to a clean house. I would unequivocally recommend Monique, and she will be first on our list next time we need a doggie sitter. Thank you Monique!”
“Natalee was absolutely fantastic! This was our first time ever using Rover or any similar service, and she completely put all of our worries and concerns at ease. From the very beginning, her professionalism, communication, and genuine care stood out. She was incredibly accommodating, understanding, and kept us updated throughout the entire process, which gave us so much peace of mind. We truly could not have asked for a better experience and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring to watch their pet!”
“Winifred is so wonderful at taking care of our dog, Henri. She plays so much with him and shows us videos and pictures while we are away. I cannot express how caring and focused and loving she is. She keeps the home clean and tidy during her stay and is very good at what she does. We are so happy to have her support and attention for Henri. We look forward to the next time she watches him for us in a few weeks. Definitely found our special care provider ❤️❤️❤️”
“We have a 1.5 y/o puppy and a 14.5 y/o dog who have very different needs. Amanda seemed to navigate that with ease and was very good about asking questions in both the intro meeting and during the first stay.”
“Honestly, we were very uneasy about leaving our babies with someone that we didn't previously know. When we met Lauren, we instantly felt at ease and our animals instantly loved her. She went out of her way to come over and spend some quality time to get to know us and our animals. She, very responsibly, took the initiative to reach out to us about our second meet and greet when we were running a little behind on planning it. Lauren was so sweet and loving in caring for our Chihuahua during an unexpected thunderstorm. She was very concerned for her and the other animals, wanting to know how she could help them through it. She kept us updated and sent us cute pictures of our babies every day. Overall, Lauren was very responsible and made it a very positive experience for us and our animals. We want to plan another trip so we can hire her again!”
“Suzy did a great job for Harley and us. It's clear he had a great time with her while we were away. We would happily reengage her again if our schedules align! Thank you, Suzy!”
“Tierra provided excellent care for our 14 month old mini dachshund who is a velcro pup! I will definitely want to book Tierra again in the future and highly recommend her.”
“Cadie was great! Took care of my pets and plants and problem-solved when a portion of the fence broke during a windstorm. I will definitely be reaching out to her next time I need my pets watched!”
About: There hasn’t been a time in my life I can remember where I haven’t had a furry friend by my side. I’ve taken care of numerous pets from families and friends who may not have been mine but I loved just as dearly as my own. I have experience with all ages and types of pets, however mellow or rowdy. I believe every animal deserves as much respect, patience, and love it takes for them to feel safe. I’m confident in my ability to accommodate any pet regardless of age or personality. I’m not currently working so I have plenty of time I’d gladly spend with your pets, no matter how early or late, I can be extremely flexible. This is often based on my clients routines which I like to follow as closely as I can. I love spending quality time going for a long walk or playing with any fun toys with pets.
“Audrey did a wonderful job watching our giant Alaskan malamute and cat. She walked him everyday, and kept us updated daily with photos. I didn’t have to worry about a thing and we would book her again.”
“Rebecca was absolutely fantastic! Such a great sitter! She took care of our Labrador over a weekend for us and took excellent care of the dog and the house. She sent regular updates and photos and was an excellent communicator. Highly recommended!”
“Alexa was great, the dogs immediately liked her, she was easy to communicate with, and left the house very clean! Would recommend to anyone looking for a sitter and would use her services again. Thanks Alexa”
“Laura has done amazing with our needy cat. She’s very professional and provides updates. We trust her to house sit and watch our cat and would definitely rebook.”
“Mika was wonderful! Super friendly and communicative and also an excellent pet photographer :) She made returning home a breeze. Pony was very well-cared for and is a happy cat. Thank you, Mika!”

Natalee is one of the best dog sitters in the Spokane area! My husband and I have tried many folks, but she continues to be our favorite - she does a great job in communicating and spending time with our pups while we are away. We will be booking with her in the future!
Bliss is very responsive to any messages and texts. She cared for my dog and cat for almost three weeks and I came home to a clean house with laundry and dishes clean and garbage and recycling taken care of. Pets were all in good shape and I would definitely use Bliss again for pet sitting in my home.
Nervous dog mom here! Leaving our dogs for 10 days and being halfway across the globe was initially terrifying for me, but Lauren quickly eased that worry after sending some pics and updates of the pups. In the photos, it appears that they had disowned me and claimed Lauren as their new best friend. Her communication is incredible and we almost had a scare with a nearby wildfire but Lauren was so calm and prepared an action plan before I even had a chance to reach out. We were gone for 10 days and the house was just as clean as it was when we left it; she even washed her sheets and towels. There is no one on this app more qualified to care for your pets than Lauren. Thank you, Lauren!!!!
Abigail is amazing! I have an easy but not-so-easy senior dog dealing with doggy dementia and Abby took care of my baby with such genuine care. Just the week prior to my trip I was so full of anxiety leaving my girl, but Abby did a phenomenal job keeping me up to date with her and easing any anxiety I had. I had a great trip, and London had a wonderful time with her new friend.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Mead on Rover is $56.72 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 769 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Mead. 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 Mead 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 Mead 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 Mead 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.
