“Kept us up to date with the dogs and kept the house clean. Receptive to the dogs and our needs for the sitting. Ensured our minds were at ease through the stay.”
“Jocelyn took amazing care of my two indoor cats. One elderly boy that can be a bit anxious but even he warmed up to her quickly. She gave informative daily updates and was willing to answer all my questions about how the cats were doing. I could tell she was loving, patient and attentive to them. She took great care of my house as well - I could hardly tell she was here! Will definitely be rebooking with her and can highly recommend.”
“Monique was a delight to work with. She did a great job as our House/Dog sitter She did a Meet & Greet visit to our home prior to booking. She kept us updated with numerous texts and photos that helped us feel relaxed on our trip. Looked like she and our dog Fargo had a great time together. Would definitely use Monique again.”
“As always, Amber took great care of our dogs and our home. She went above and beyond with our skittish baby when we had workers in the yard. Can’t recommend her enough!”
“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 :)”
“Rachel was amazing! She had great communication the entire time and we loved the updates she sent us. Sadie (my dog) was well taken care of and we would definitely have Rachel dogsit again.”
“Nazeerah and Nick were fantastic sitters! They were super caring with our pets, sent us tons of pictures, and were absolute stars when it came to administering difficult medication. They left our house perfectly in the way we left it too! Highly recommend!”
“Carla was quick to respond and took great care of my dog when my other sitter backed out at the last minute. She sent pictures and updates and I could not have been happier with the service she provided.”
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 amazing. Very kind and exceptional communication. She is very well-versed in animal care and was so good to our pups. She left the house nice and tidy and kept us updated while we were gone. Will absolutely book with her again.”
“This was our first time using Wini to watch our aging German Shorthair. It is to the point that we really cannot leave him anymore even for a quick bite out. We decided to try Wini after having a conversation just so my wife and I could get some tasks done as we are in the process of moving. Everything went very well. It is obvious Wini has a passion for animals and was sensitive to our old boys current condition. The day was very helpful.”
“Elizabeth was absolutely fantastic and we cannot thank her enough. Circumstances ended up being less than ideal as halfway through our trip hurricane Helene decided to hit, but she kept our babies safe and took care of our house the best she could. We would definitely trust her with house and pet sitting in the future and recommend her for anyone looking for top notch care.”
“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.”
“Jasmine is so kind and caring. She was so helpful and flexible and she really gave us the peace of mind knowing our two pups and house were being well taken care of. We will absolutely be having her house sit again in the future!”
“Katelyn was wonderful! She was able to step in and watch my dogs for me while I was out of town on a last minute work trip. She was communicative and sent lots of pictures. Will definitely rebook with her!”
“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.

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.

- 95% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
