“Amy did a fantastic job taking care of my babies :) she walked Bee, made sure she took her medicine, and gave them both plenty of snuggles. I would absolutely rebook if needed <3”
“Jordan was absolutely incredible with my dog Cali for the weekend. She is an older pup and he took such great care of her. He was attentive and timely and kept in communication with me throughout the entire weekend. I can't recommend him enough!”
“Danielle was a fantastic housesitter! She was quick to respond and easy to communicate with. She left the house in great shape. Most importantly, our boy Jerry loved her! I would highly recommend her and we plan to use her again.”
“Conrad was absolutely fabulous. Everyone was very happy and well cared for. Communication was excellent, and pictures were sent as requested. We will definitely be using Conrad’s services again in the near future.”
“Erin was awesome! She took great care of all three furry babies and kept me updated the whole time so I felt good being away. I especially loved the report cards, such a nice touch!”
“Sabrina was great with our dogs and kitty while we were away! She was communicative with updates and questions. She shared pictures of our animals as well. She was also good about taking them on walks so they could get some exercise. We will definitely be using Sabrina’s services again!”
“This was our first Rover experience, and Garrett and Anna did an incredible job watching our pups while we were away for vacation. We have quite the rambunctious little teenage puppy and we’re a little worried how he would do, but Garrett had no problem handling his energy! Happy, happy dogs, returned to a clean home, and will 100% be using their services again. Thank you both!!”
“We had a great experience with Genelle housesitting our dog. She was punctual and provided daily updates with pictures while we were away. Even during a thunderstorm, she helped our anxious girl stay relaxed and cared for. We look forward to booking with her again!”
“Alicia took great care of our boy. She sent several pictures daily and he always looked happy. She left the house clean and we would definitely book with her again.”
About: I work from home, have no resident pets, accept only two clients at a time, and have senior-dog experience. I have experience with small to large-sized dogs, senior dogs, and even dogs with diapers. I recently had to put down my 17 1/2-year-old dachshund-Pomeranian mix. She brought so much joy to my life, and I'm looking forward to taking care of other fur babies instead of getting another pup so soon. I work from home with plenty of flexibility for short or long walks during the day. I'm available for walks, drop-ins, boarding, doggy daycare, and house-sitting. My calendar is always up to date. I live in a two-floor townhome with a balcony in LoHi. I'm happy to let your dog roam freely in my place and lie on the couch and bed with me. Crate-trained or pottypad-trained dogs are welcome. I'm also happy to put potty grass on my balcony so they can roam freely inside and out.
“Margaret was great! She stayed with our two girls for a weekend- one being medically complex and needing medications at specific times. She gave us frequent updates and we knew our girls were in great hands!”
“As always, Maribel did a fantastic job with my doggies! She was so communicative, checked in daily to let us know how things were going, and sent pictures of my happy girls. I never need to worry about the safety of my dogs or home when I go out of town, and this was no exception. Thank you Maribel!”
“Brandon was so amazing with our sweet pup. He was communicative, transparent, and took the best care of Kipper. Highly recommend, and will definitely be using again!”
“Carol is been one of the best pet sitters we’ve ever had. She’s incredibly conscientious, responsible, responsive, a we felt that she really cared for our pups while she was away. When we got home, everything was in great order. She’ll be the first person I check with when planning future trips where we need care for our home and dogs!!”
“Kyle was very communicative and provided plenty of updates on my dog while I was out of town. He was very caring and attentive to my dog’s needs. Highly recommend Kyle and will definitely use his services again!”
“Marianne exceeded our expectations. We're 1st-time Rover users and she was beyond wonderful!! Pictures, excellent communication and most importantly, our 3 pets LOVED her. We would only be so lucky to have someone like Marianne help us out when we leave town. We're so so happy. 10 STARS!!!”
“Brittany was so dependable and made me feel very confident that Cocoa was in good hands. She checked in often and left my place spotless! Thanks Brittany!”
“If you are looking for a sitter who will value your pet and respect your home, Xio is the perfect candidate. She took such good care of my dog and cat, kept me regularly updated, and did the dishes and laundry for me!”

Anna took wonderful care of our older dog while we were away. She administered his medications and provided detailed updates with plenty of photos! The house was clean and tidy when we arrived home as well. Will definitely have Anna sit for Newton again in the future.
Becca was great handling our two boys! Both initial meetings may have scared someone who isn’t comfortable with overly excitable dogs away, but Becca was calm and confident with them. On top of having a deaf puppy and jealous older brother, one was also diagnosed with a severe ear infection the day before we left and given an intense medication routine — we came home to a clean home, a cleared ear infection, and two happy pups! Thank you SO much Becca!
Isabel was incredible! We left our two Aussies with her (one being a very high energy pup) for over two weeks while we were traveling out of the country, and we couldn’t have asked for a more kind, caring, and responsible dog sitter. She sent pictures of them daily, which was such a treat, and she left the house in great shape. She provided important updates and was so flexible with our needs. I can’t recommend her enough!
Neva is always so amazing with our girls! We have been using her for quite some time now, and she is consistently flexible, responsive, and great at sending photos! Our dogs are starting to get older and she has totally been able to adapt to their needs and provide the best care. We always feel so great when she was watching them.
Mariah is the greatest! She's watched our pups twice now, and she will be our first choice dog sitter moving forward. One of our dogs, Marge, can be very shy around sitters, often hiding in the basement. Mariah sent us daily updates with Marge looking incredibly happy - as if she didn't miss us one bit! Could not recommend Mariah enough!
Weve used Hannah multiple times for our cats & house sitting! Its always so easy, shes super on top of everything and so easy to work with. Hannah sends so many photos and updates unprompted! Honestly she's such an easy hire and great person to trust with your animals. ❤️
Katy is amazing! She took such good care of our dog Rue while we were out of town. Getting up early every morning to get her a walk before it got too hot, was so attentive to favorite toys and games to play, lots of outside yard time and gave her so much love. She was reliable and incredibly communicative with us sending updates and pictures regularly putting our minds at ease. I cannot recommend her enough!
Friendly and caring with our anxious dog and shy cat, and sent lots of pictures. Took our dog on many walks and both pets are happy and healthy when we get back. Pooky also went above and beyond to care for our house while we were gone which was a special touch. Thank you!!!
Skyler was great with our puppy, especially on such short notice. She took great care of her and was also respectful of our home. We came back to a happy, well-cared-for puppy and everything in the house in great shape. I’d definitely have Skyler watch her again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in North Washington is $56 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $32 and $92 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. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

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 Washington 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 Washington 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 North Washington 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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
