“This is the second time we’ve had Jackie sit for our animals. She does a fantastic job and is extremely trustworthy. We will use her services again in the future!”
“He was amazing with our dog. It was the first time we’d been out of town for an extended time and we came back to a very happy dog. Elias was in constant contact an took care of our home like it was his.”
About: I have grown up with dogs and other animals. They have always been apart of my life. I had 10 dogs at once for about 4 years. I am very patient and understanding. Good with any puke, poop and pee, it doesn’t bother me. Love dogs and will do any special things that need done. I am currently an Eastern Student and have class from 9-12 and work part time at safeway from about 1-7 as of right now. I am planning on doing online class starting in January and planning on working like 8am-2pm at Safeway starting in December. So I will be more flexible in the coming months. Can do early morning and late nights if needed I will keep things clean and tidy while in others home. Will take dog on leash if not fenced in. Will make sure dog has food and water if they aren’t schedule fed.
“It can be hard to find a sitter that enjoys big dogs. Our big, goofy dogs love Clara! We appreciate that she let us know how they were doing and help them stay happy and on their routine (as it helps the smaller of our two dogs keep her anxiety down while we’re away). We will definitely call on her again.”
About: I have had dogs my whole life ranging from Pomeranians to Labradors. I have also worked at veterinary clinics, dog daycares and animal shelters. I have experience providing care to both puppies and senior dogs, as well as taking care of medical needs for special cases in both dogs and cats. Animals are my passion, and I promise I will treat your pets like my own. I am available Monday through Sunday full time. I can be available morning starting at 10am to evenings ending at 8pm. I am also available to pet sit in your home any day of the week. I do not have the means to provide boarding in my home. But I would love to take care of your pets in your home, where I’m sure they’ll feel safe and comfortable.
About: I have been involved taking care of pets for as long as I can remember!! I have been involved working with my neighbors friends family and even strangers!! I have worked with rambunctious puppies all the way to old grumpy doggies. I have worked with the sweetest of pups to some aggressive not kind ones. I love getting to help take out and take care of pets especially during the long days and nights when they need some extra love!! I am currently in school and coaching part time but still have a good chunk of time on my hands that I’m looking to fill with some loving doggies!! I love getting to take dogs out and walk them or even just play with them in the yard. I will respect the wishes of the owners when it comes to the safety of their dogs. I am comfortable using a crate if that’s what’s needed and can make accommodations to owners preference.
“Tierra was wonderful! Our dog Hank loved her as soon as he met her at our meet and greet 😊 She did an amazing job watching him, she sent great updates and pictures and Hank had so much fun with her! We came back to a very happy guy after his time with her 😊 we will definitely use Tierra again”

“Monique was absolutely amazing! We have many animals and she gave them the best love and care. This was our first time using Rover and she eased us through the process and made us feel at ease. She was fabulous giving all the medications and treating our animals like her own. She texts and sends pictures regularly to give us updates throughout the day. She went above and beyond taking care of our home as well. We will be choosing her for every future vacation, especially since our dogs were sad when she left, they loved her so much! Truly blessed to have found her!”
“Rachel is absolutely lovely! My crew had a great day with her. I felt very secure in leaving them with her as a sitter new to us. Thanks for the extra care and fun and games with some trickery! I will absolutely hire Rachel again.”
“Jocelyn was wonderful with our senior kitty overnight. She was well taken care of and happy, and best of all I was comfortable knowing she was in good hands. I would definitely call Jocelyn again.”
About: I have been a dog house sitter for some family friends for over the course of a year. I connect instantly with dogs, they feel they can trust me. I have no professional training experience but am very patient with the dogs when necessary. I am currently in between jobs so am very flexible at the moment. Looking to get part or full time work soon. Prefer mornings and afternoons. Keep them mostly inside, as I do not have a fenced yard. Take them on daily walks. House is roomy to play around. Not looking for boarding.
“Suzy was an exceptional kitten sitter. During her week-long stay at our home, she maintained everything and left our home just as she found it. I loved receiving the daily updates and photos of Lila while we were away. Upon returning, we found a happy and healthy kitten, thanks to Suzy's attentive care. Without a doubt, she will be our go-to sitter in the future! 😺”
“Carla did an amazing job house sitting and taking care of our 18 year old dog. Our dog has a lot of quirks and special needs and Carla was very understanding and took great care of her. Highly recommended!”
“We had a wonderful experience with Nazeerah as our house and dog sitter. She took excellent care of our dogs and our home while we were away. Nazeerah sent frequent pictures, videos, and updates, which gave us so much peace of mind and allowed us to truly relax and enjoy our vacation. It was clear our dogs were comfortable and happy with her, which meant a lot to us. When we returned, our home was well cared for and everything was just as we left it. We are very grateful for the care and attention Nazeerah gave both our pets and our home, and we would happily trust her again in the future.”
About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life, and they’ve taught me that every pup has their own fun personality. Whether it’s a playful walk, a cuddle session, or just hanging out, I always match their energy and keep tails wagging. I’ve taken care of old dogs too, so I know how to be gentle and patient when they need extra care. I don’t just watch dogs, I connect with them, making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I’m a college student available mornings until 10 AM and after 3:30 PM on weekdays, and all day Fridays through Sundays unless of I have exams then i have less time. I make every pet feel safe, happy, and loved, whether I’m at their home or mine. I follow their routines closely, including meals, walks, playtime, and snuggles, so they feel comfortable and stress-free. I give lots of attention, belly rubs, and mental stimulation through games or training exercises, and I always keep a close eye on their health and well-being. Every visit is about making tails wag and pets feel like part of my pack.
“My dog was very well cared for and loved on for 10 days I was gone. The house looked great as well. She kept me informed and provided videos throughout her stay. Would highly recommend for overnight stays if needed and care for your pets.”

Liz, took great care of our dogs. She took time to help them get used to her again, going at their pace. They had plenty of time playing fetch and being outside. We loved all of the pictures and updates. She also was clean and tidy, leaving the house in excellent condition after her stay.

FAQs for House Sitting - Medical Lake
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Medical Lake on Rover is $46.62 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 612 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Medical Lake. 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 Medical Lake 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 Medical Lake 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 Medical Lake 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.
