“What started as a work trip turned into a SKZOO animal party featuring my three girls: Heidi, Nel, and Gwyen. Heidi was my biggest concern leaving — she’s a 13-year-old senior dog undergoing cancer treatment with a strict medication schedule. Cameryn handled it without a hitch. Gwyen is an asthmatic cat who absolutely refuses her medicine — she’s a fighter in every sense. Nel is a young, highly energetic “chaos gremlin,” also known as a German Shorthaired Pointer. Cameryn successfully kept all three happy, healthy, and entertained: a senior dog with complex medical needs, a cat who turns medication time into a battle, and a full-speed chaos gremlin — and they were probably better behaved than the actual SKZOO. I’m so grateful for her care and highly recommend her to any pet parent, K-pop girlie or not. 🐥🐺🐰🐨🐷🦊🐶🦜”
“Lyla did an incredible job! She gave me updates and was flexible with my crazy schedule. Overall she brought a lot of peace while I was out of town. Just knowing that my dog was so well taken care of. Thank you Lyla!”
“My dog seems to be very reserves and skittish around strangers so was very apprehensive about booking someone from Rover to stay with her. I made the perfect choice with Anthea. My little girl was comfortable with her right away. Anthea sent multiple pictures and put my mind at ease immediately couldn’t ask for a better person to take care of your animal. I will certainly use her again.”
“Selma continues to go above and beyond caring for my dogs and home. I have three energetic dogs with three very different personalities and she meets all of their needs with ease and open communication. We’re lucky to have found her!”
About: I've had cats and dogs my whole life, have been feeding stray cats in my neighborhood for years, and I've been pet-sitting for the past 6 years! I've watched all kinds of animals, including big and small dogs, friendly and scaredy-cats, a dog who wore diapers, and a blind dog. My animal care experience also includes chickens, goats, cows, and bearded dragons! I've never been one to shy away from any animal, no matter what its needs are. I'm currently on summer break from college, so I'm free all day to watch your pets! Call on me early in the morning, late at night, or anytime in between, and I'll be available. I am dedicated to understanding each pet's particular needs so I can provide quality care and companionship for them. I'm also committed to keeping your home clean, and I'm not scared of cleaning up any messes your animals may make. I'm easy to reach by phone, so you don't need to worry about contacting me for any reason.
“Roree is the best! I’m new to the area and was nervous about finding a new sitter to care for my rescue pitbull. However, Roree immediately gave me a peace of mind. She’s an absolute delight! She communicated lots, sent pictures, and I came home to a healthy and happy little pup! She took great care of my place and was very reliable. I will absolutely be booking with her again! 💖”
“Jessica is wonderful and I would highly recommend her. I have two German Shepherds and don’t trust many people with my dogs. Jessica is communicative and professional.”
“Amanda was an excellence sitter. She was knowledgeable, kind, thoughtful not only with my pet but with me. She provided moral support for me as I was getting ready to go through surgery. I would recommend her to anyone needing a sitter for your pet. She definitely trustworthy and your pet will be in good hands.”
“Loved having Caitlin watch my two dogs. She was in close contact and took excellent care of them. When I came home after 5 days gone, they both were totally calm and fine. That’s the test that I’ve found a great pet sitter! I will definitely use Caitlin as my go-to next time I go out of town. We all think she’s the best!”
“Allison was reliable, left our home spotless, and was extremely flexible and responsive when our flights got delayed and we had to add another night last minute. She made the entire experience so much less stressful and we would use her again in a heartbeat.”
About: I have always loved dogs. I grew up with a black lab (age 5-18), and when I was in high school I frequently watched dogs and cats in a pet sitting capacity. Pet sitting for neighbors and friends was my first job, and as soon as I got my drivers license, I expanded my pet sitting clientele. As an adult, my husband and I had a rescue dog (Pitt/lab mix) who was our fur baby. When we adopted her, she had separation anxiety and resource guarding issues. We worked with a trainer to help her overcome those issues, and were grateful for the wonderful years we enjoyed with her. Unfortunately, she died in early 2025. While we are not in a position to have our own dog right now, we would love to continue to snuggle and support local dogs through pet sitting. We do have a toddler at home. She loves dogs and we would never leave her unattended with any animal. While we will be careful to ensure any dogs in our care are set up for success by being separated from our toddler with baby gates, etc., we are only able to host dogs who are comfortable around small children. I am a middle school teacher, so I have full-time availability during school breaks and the summer. I am also available to drop in before and/or after my work, depending on the location. My husband, Cristopher, works from home and loves having a dog as his co-worker to be let out on demand. As dog owners, we never left our own dog home alone for more than 4-5 hours, and we will only accept a boarding booking if our schedule allows the same time commitment to your dog. We treat all dogs like they are our own. As a former pet parent, I know that I can never replace you, but I will do everything I can to make sure your dog feels comfortable and safe in my care. We have a fenced yard with no animals in our home (except for the occasional wild bunny). Our yard has plenty of space for dogs to run around and play.
“Janexis and Zach were wonderful with helping take care of my reactive and anxious pit mix, Minnie. They sent just the right amount of updates, and she looked so happy and at home with each picture! They kept me at ease the entire time. They were also flexible when I needed to extend their care, and left my place cleaner than I left for them! I will definitely use them to care for my pup in the future.”

Jessica is a 10/10 dog sitter. We have 3 large dogs under 5 years old with varying personalities, which she was able to manage without a problem. She is active, responsive, and flexible. Loved getting the picture updates and her communication is great! Will definitely book for house/dog sitting needs in the future.
Amy was quick to respond to our request to watch our puppy Jazzy. She met us the day prior for a meet and greet. Jazzy immediately took to her. Amy is a lovely person and loves animals. She asked us important questions regarding care. The day of she arrived early and already had an idea where to take Jazzy for her walk. We appreciated her checking in our birds as well. As a sitter she went above and beyond for caring for Jazzy and our 2 parakeets. We appreciated her helping us on such short notice. She provided care amazingly, gave us plenty of updates throughout the day with photos, and asked us for any additional direction. We would happily request Amy again to watch Jazzy!
Shane was great. He sent me photos and videos while I was away. Gave my eldest dog her antibiotics. The dogs seemed a little too happy that I was gone. It was also the week of both his and wife’s birthdays, so I appreciated the sacrifices he made for them/us. He took the trashcan up my driveway for collection and brought in the mail too. Also, the house was very clean when I got back. All very much appreciated by me.
Having Michaela was the best dog/house sitter experience. She was perfect with our three big dogs who can be a handful at times. She is very attentive to each dogs needs, quirks, and behaviours. She sent photos and updates each day to put us at ease. Walked/played with them multiple times a day. She even left a sweet card with their paw prints and pictures of them. So thoughtful and left the house cleaner than when we left. 10/10 recommend.
Tiffany just finished up a week long house sit and she was fantastic. I am a repeat client, and it’s amazing to be away and not worry about whether my dogs are being well taken care of - I know Tiffany is giving them all the love and attention I would want them to have in my absence!
Lynette was absolutely amazing! She stayed with our pup while we were out of town and she was very communicative. We got puppy pictures everyday and she was very quick to respond. She even came back to let him out when our flight was delayed. She is my first call next time I need a dog sitter!
The most exceptional sitter, communicator, and wealth of great doggy resources. Thank you Christine for always taking such good care of our pup, AND our home. We always know our guy is in the best of hands when we’re gone, and appreciate your communication and commitment to his care. Thank you!!

FAQs for House Sitting - Mill Plain
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Mill Plain on Rover is $47.38 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 4,423 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Mill Plain. 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 Mill Plain 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 Mill Plain 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 Mill Plain 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.
