Her communication is top notch; I got daily updates and could tell from the stories and photos that they were truly relaxed and themselves around her, which really allowed me to relax on my vacation.”

We’ve had Karen care for our pups multiple times and a would absolutely recommend her!”
“Mikayla was a fantastic sitter for my dog Skye, a mini Aussie, and came to our house for four nights. Skye is pretty apprehensive with strangers and can be reactive with strangers in our home. We did a meet and greet about a week ahead of time and walked around a lake while Mikayla was kind and patient, letting Skye take the lead in their interactions.By the end of the meet and greet, Mikayla was able to give her treats from her hand. Skye was SUPER excited to see her again when she came to our house day of - a huge sign that she connected quickly! Mikayla took excellent care of Skye and kept in contact with us through photos and updates. 🥰 Mikayla is such a great sitter and we’ll be using her again! Such a great experience for both dog and family.”

“Brooke was absolutely incredible with our anxious/reactive dog. She immediately put us at ease during our meet and greet, and was respectful of our dog’s need for a slow introduction. She went above and beyond to make him feel comfortable and let him warm up to her at his own pace. By the end of her stay at our house, the two of them were best buddies. We came home to a very happy and well cared for pup! She was very communicative and sent lots of pictures and updates. We would recommend her in a heartbeat and definitely plan to ask her back again!”
“Emerson was an amazing sitter for our two girls. I got daily updates, came home to a clean home and didn’t worry one bit while we were away.

Kelly is phenomenal! She did a long weekend stay with our 16-week old puppy and took such good care of her. Puppies are a handful to begin with, but ours ended up getting sick while we were gone and Kelly adjusted our pup’s feeding and medication schedule (with our input, of course!) to get our girl back on the right path to feeling better. Our puppy was happy and already feeling much better by the time we got home. Lots of great communication and pictures/videos while we’re were gone, too! We’d 100000% recommend Kelly if you’re looking for someone to take care of your fur babies :)
We had Sam stay with our dog for two weeks. Our dog has a lot of health issues and we were in the middle of figuring it out when we had to leave. Sam was very understanding and supportive. She agreed to make more rice when needed, send us her eating and pooping updates (:.It was hard to leave the dog in distress but we felt like we could trust Sam with food and meds. Sam also agreed to water the plants and take care of garbage and mail. We came back to a clean house and a happy dog!
As someone who’s never used this service before I am very pleased! But especially As someone who has a very senior dog (almost 18 years) I’m incredibly happy with how my dog was taken care of! I was extremely nervous but the pictures and consistent messaging gave me so much peace of mind! Thank you so much for taking care of my favorite boy 🐾
Kaylee is a wonderful sitter. I left my pet for the 1st time and when I came home, my pet was in good spirits. Kaylee sent pictures and communicated with us often. I would definitely request her again, and Ihighly recommend Kaylee for whatever your and your pets needs are.
Hannah did an awesome job with Zoey, we could tell she was well cared for. Zoey is shy and a little stand-offish but she warmed up to Hannah right away. Hannah also did a great job taking care of the house, she left everything nice and neat. We would absolutely hire her again.
Holly did amazing caring for our pets and home while we were away during a tough week with a heat wave and poor air quality. She communicated well and we appreciate that she cleans up everything (even washing sheets and towels). We will keep using Holly if she’s available.
Sophia stayed at our house with our two golden retrievers while we were out of town for a couple Days. She was wonderful!! She sent pics and took them on a walk. They were pretty tuckered out the evening we came home. Our house was in order and we appreciate her! Will be reaching out to her again and highly recommend her! 😃💗🐶🐶

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 Medicine 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 Medicine 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Medicine 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 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 Meet & Greet .
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy , 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.
