“I booked Halle super last minute for an overnight, my dog was very happy and relaxed when we came back home and everything was clean as we left it. She even left a little drawing of him on our fridge. Thank you Halle!”
“Johanna was extremely easy to work with. Very communicative! Sent lots of pictures which I appreciate and seemed to bond with all our animals pretty quickly. She takes caring for our animals very seriously. And I’ve already booked her again! Highly recommend!”
“Brougan did a great job taking care of our home and our pets while we were gone for a week. He checked in, sent pictures. The pets seemed to really like him. We would definitely ask him to sit for us again.”
“Kylie is a great cat and house sitter. I would recommend her if you need someone to watch your cats while you are out of town, so much so I will book her again next time I’m out of town.”
“Jennifer was great sitting for Maisey! She was flexible with her time, came and did a meet and greet to get to know us and Maisey before the scheduled stay. She was very quick to reply to any messages or requests and sent updates and photos while we were away. We will definitely be reaching out to Jennifer again when we have scheduled time away. Thank you!”
“Ariana was fabulous! Our senior dog cannot walk and needs help with a number of things, and Ariana took care of her exactly as we would. Will definitely be looking forward to using her again in the future!”
“She took great care of our dogs and home while we were away. She kept us updated, followed instructions, and made sure the pups were comfortable and well cared for. It gave us peace of mind knowing they were in good hands. We came home to happy, relaxed dogs and everything in great shape. Thank you, for helping make our trip much less stressful! Most importantly, she was very sweet to our babies, and that means the world to us. 🐾💕”
“Holly is an excellent sitter who I would absolutely recommend to anyone who needs a sitter for a quick check in or for a longer stay. She watched my dogs for a week while I was across the country and she was communicative and went the extra mile to make sure my dogs were comfortable. I’ve used her multiple times in the past and it’s always been a great experience. Holly is also very flexible for emergencies and changes in schedules. I will continue to use her in the future!”
“Olivia and Tyler were awesome! I needed a last minute booking over a holiday weekend to deal with a family emergency. They were communicative and the pictures they sent clearly showed my independent and mistrustful of strangers pup having the best time. I would use them again.”
“Emma was the best! Left for a 4 day weekend trip and left the keys to the house to her. When I came back, it was like she was never there. House was in great shape, Thor was a happy pup, and she gave me continuous updates. Couldn’t be happier! Thanks, Emma.”
“Simonne did great watching my dog, June! June is nervous around new people but Simonne was patient and gentle with her. She sent lots of pictures during her stay which I loved. I plan to keep using Simonne!”
About: My golden is my boss, and I love it. I have had dogs my whole life and am finally in a position where I can help other people with their pups. Walking, playing…I can’t wait to meet all your puppers and doggos! I currently work part time so have pretty open availability for walks and playing. I could potentially board but it would have to be a good fit with my pup. I take my dog Simon on 3 walks a day as I live in an apartment. Keeps me active and him happy. I will do whatever the client needs I order to keep their pets as happy as mine.
“Sarah did a great job taking care of my big Rottweiler and house for a few days. She sent updates and let me know River was a bit nervous at first. She didn’t give up and River came around. I would certainly recommend Sarah for your pet sitting!”
“Leeann took wonderful care of our home and animals for 8 days while we were in Belize. She was incredibly communicative, kind, and responsible, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. She treated our pets with genuine care and attention, and it was clear they were happy and well looked after. She also left our home spotless. Everything was tidy, clean, and exactly how we left it. We couldn’t have asked for a better petsitter and would absolutely trust Leeann again and recommend her without hesitation!”
“Veronica did a great job of taking care of our cats. She sent us daily updates and communicated very well and always asked questions if she wasn't sure or needed more clarification. She spent extra one on one time with our newly adopted somewhat feral kitty working on getting her more socialized.”
About: I know how difficult it can be finding help when it's needed to make sure my dog gets enough exercise, attention, and love on the days where I am out of town or working long hours. I hope to offer that relief to you when your pet needs it. I was raised around dogs and started taking care of them independently in highschool, dogsitting throughout college, and now owning my own dog. I have dogsat reactive dogs, elderly dogs, and raised puppies. Above all, getting to understand the specific needs of each individual I help is what makes myself and your pet the most comfortable. I have more availability than listed on my Rover profile, especially on the weeeknds, so reach out! I currently work part-time, and I am available to help consistently on weekends and evenings, being able to help on the weekdays if my work allows it. Respect and communication are my priorities. Respect for your pet, schedule, property, and instructions are at the forefront of my mind to ensure that your pet is as safe as it can be in my care. I will always communicate any concerns, questions, and general updates about the visit - I never want to keep you in the dark about what your pet has been up to while you're away.

She did a great job taking care of Winston while I was away! He isn’t always the easiest pup to care for, but everything seemed to go really well and he was happy and comfortable when I got home. She also left my apartment exactly how I left it, which I really appreciated. It was so nice coming home to a happy pup and a clean space. Thank you for taking such good care of him!
Taylor went above and beyond to care for our kitty Cal at our house while we were away for a week. She was communicative throughout and sent the cutest pictures. I could tell when I got home how well taken care of he was. She left the house super tidy and ready for us to return. We will absolutely be asking Taylor to sit again. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate pet/house sitter!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in North Olympia is $56 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $46 and $61 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

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 North Olympia 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 North Olympia 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 North Olympia 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.
