“Carissa took wonderful care of our 2 young kitties while we were away for our wedding weekend and also our overseas honeymoon - 2 weeks in total. She was great about communicating and sending photos, and it felt like our boys were truly loved by her 😊 We knew from her profile and conversations that she had done more dog sitting than cat sitting, but we felt she did a great job of getting to know and connect with our cats while we were away. She snuggled lots with our snuggly boy and “cracked the code” to bond with our other kitty who can be a little feisty and particular 😂 We came home to a clean house and peaceful kitties. Thank you, Carissa - we’d be happy to have you back in the future!”
“Rose is amazing!! She took amazing care of my girls and house. I get a little nervous leaving my reactive dog that has special needs but she did AMAZING with her. She gave me updates all the time and left my house spotless. I highly recommend Rose.”
“Ashlyn was great with my dog! He can be nervous and a little awkward especially around new people but he seemed to love her. I wasn’t constantly worried about what they were doing which allowed me to enjoy my trip more.”
“Anna was great housesitting Ozzy and Coco! She was timely for meet and greets, sent advance communication, and made sure she thoroughly understood our instructions. Ozzy had stomach issues while she was here, and she took everything in stride! She also got some adorable photos of them!”
“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”
“Alicia is excellent! Watched our dogs over a weekend for us and took them on multiple walks, played with them in our backyard, brushed them, and sent plenty of update of pictures so we could see how much fun they were having with her. We would love to have her watch our pups again the next time we are out of town!”
“Danielle was great with watching Mila at my home! Very commutative and prompt with responding. The litter box and house was left clean. I look forward to rebooking in the future :)”
“Another awesome experience with Neva!! My pup loves her and I feel 100% comfortable leaving her in Neva’s hands. She’s also very clean and has been super respectful to my house. Highly recommend!! 😊”
“Haley is a phenomenal sitter! Our dog has stranger danger reactivity and Haley was more than accommodating with doing multiple meet and greets to ensure our dog was comfortable with her before her stay. We got picture updates and felt she took the best care of our dog and home. We will absolutely be using her in the future!”
“Thank you for taking such great care of Duke! I REALLY appreciate getting pictures, will definitely be in touch for the next time I need a sitter for him.”
“Jacqueline was a wonderful sitter! She asked great questions about the dogs before we booked a sitting and made me feel very comfortable before leaving on my trip. She was very communicative, took great photos, and the dogs seemed happy and well cared for! Highly recommend, she did great.”
“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.”
“Lauren was an incredible sitter for Stella during our honeymoon. We were out of the country and had so much peace of mind and reassurance. She did a great job updating us and we could tell our dog was doing really well, thanks for Lauren. We are so grateful!”
“Natasha has been fantastic as a pet sitter ! Our dog and cats are so happy with her and can’t recommend her enough. We have felt at ease on every single trip knowing our pets are happy and looked after!”
“So grateful to have found Kat — a trusted house sitter is SO hard to find! They communicated daily, sent photos, ensured medications were given on schedule, brought our dog on adventures to the park, and left our home clean to return to. They even went above and beyond with a few extra household needs. No notes! We already rebooked for another stay.”
“Erin did an amazing job. She watched our dog and house for 2 days and provided regular updates. 10/10 would recommend. Our dog was probably spoiled more than we already spoil her.”
About: I’ve cared for pets of all ages and personalities, from playful puppies to sweet senior dogs who need extra patience and gentle attention. I’m just as happy caring for cats as I am dogs and will respect each cat’s unique personality and routine. I’m reliable, attentive, and treat every pet like family. My goal is to give you the same peace of mind you’d have leaving your furry family member with a trusted friend. Meet and greets are always welcome and preferred before booking so we can make sure we’re a great fit for each other! I work weekdays from 7:30 a.m. to 3:45 p.m. and am a great fit for pets that are comfortable being alone during those hours. Before and after work, I’ll provide plenty of walks, playtime, cuddles, and overnight companionship while keeping your pet’s routine as consistent as possible. I typically work remotely on Thursdays and Fridays, which may allow for additional flexibility. Weekends are generally wide open for extra time, adventures, and quality time with your pet. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine are my top priorities. I’ll follow all of your care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medications (if needed), playtime, and any special routines. I’ll treat your home with the same respect I would my own, keep it clean and secure, and provide regular updates with photos so you can enjoy your time away knowing your pet is happy and well cared for. I strive to create a calm, loving environment where your pet feels safe and comfortable while you’re gone.
“Michael was great and was very helpful in securing a short-notice sitter. He was flexible and able to adapt to my larger pack. Very communicative and was able to accommodate their various needs. I would recommend Michael to anyone looking for a sitter who may have a less typical pet situation.”
The median cost per night for house sitting in North Washington is $55

I would hire Shania to cat sit again in a heartbeat. She was incredible professional every step of the way; communicative, timely, updated me in the morning and evenings with pictures and left the house impeccable. It was my best experience yet with Rover yet and I have never had a bad experience with them. Thank you so much Shania!!!
Rachel is an amazing pet sitter! Our anxious pup was completely comfortable & at ease with Rachel! Rachel sent updates and photos every day, and was super quick to communicate if needed! We felt 100% at peace knowing Rachel was watching our dog and home :) She also left the apartment super clean! I can’t recommend her enough as a pet sitter, we will definitely be using her services again!
Jacki was wonderful!! Definitely would recommend her. She was prompt, sent lots of photos and updates which I love and was easy to communicate with. I appreciated her being willing to do a meet and greet and all the dogs immediately loved her. You can tell she really enjoys doing what she does! Thanks so much, Jacki!
Elizabeth is the best! She watched our cat Panda and our dog Marley and was so attentive and kind. She followed our special care instructions (our cat needs medicine and our dog can’t use stairs). She communicated when she would arrive and leave and sent plenty of updates! Overall I was beyond happy and felt at ease while being away. She is really the best 😊
Lauren was the best friend we could have asked for for our little sweet cat Billie! She was great at communicating what she was doing and sending picture updates. Lauren went above and beyond taking care of not only Billie but our apartment as well which was greatly appreciated and didn’t go unnoticed.
Amira was SO lovely! Our animals really loved her, including our kitty who has never let any other pet sitter snuggle with her! She was attentive and could tell that she cared a lot for our babies! She went above and beyond! Will for sure be using her again soon!!
Erika did a wonderful job with my puppy. She was on time, communicative, sent videos and photos, followed care instructions, and my puppy was so happy to see her. Coordinating with Erika was very simple and she was super accommodating to my requests. I would definitely book her again.
Maria and her husband Omar took such amazing care of Odin! Exceptional communication, thoughtful updates, and total peace of mind knowing our pup was in good, experienced hands. They left our home spotless, too. We’ll definitely be calling them for future trips!
Mackenzie is a true gem! She watched our two kitties for 5 days and did such a great job. Our home was immaculate and clean when we got back. She followed all of our instructions perfectly and was very communicative when we were away. We are so grateful to have found her and will be using her again in the near future :)
Branham took amazing care of our puppy! Since our puppy is not fully vaccinated, Branham was able to watch her at our house and take care of her. He stuck to her schedule and care instructions, and sent us so many updates throughout the day so we could see how our puppy was doing. I highly recommend booking Branham to care for your pet!
Hannah is such a great house/cat/pet sitter! She has been to our home 2x now & truly is so easy to work with. She is reliable, so kind, sends tons of photos, super communicative, and clean! You can also tell she really loves animals which is a huge part of why I book her everytime! I really appreciate Hannah! Thank you so much.
I could not recommend Madelyn enough! She was wonderful with my pup Nora while I was out of town on an extended work trip. Madelyn was a great communicator and I could tell both Nora and my home had been well taken care of. If you're looking for a sitter who gives you peace of mind and treats your pets like their own, Madelyn is your girl!
Olivia was great with our pups! She sent frequent updates and even went back to let them out and feed them past her original time block because we got delayed in our travels. I would trust her to watch them again and am sure that the dogs were getting lots of love while we were gone!

FAQs for House Sitting - North Washington
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in North Washington on Rover is $55.5 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 8,970 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across North Washington. 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 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.
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 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 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.
