“Man, i dont know where to begin with how great Christy was. Right off the bat, we unfortunately had some difficulties with her guest code not working to enter our home. We were on a flight and didnt realize she was having trouble, so she patiently waited for over half an hour for us to respond to let her in. Already going above and beyond what some other sitters might do. We also chose to have her stay in our home, which was a first for us. We were a but nervous about allowing someone we had just met into our home, but Christy immediately put us at ease with her check ins and photos of our pup while she stayed. She even brought our garbage can back from the curb, which was again, so above and beyond what we asked of her. She was a pleasure to meet right from the get go, she gave us several morning, play time, and bedtime photos of our pup, she left our home in immaculate shape, and showed immense patience when we had our trouble getting her code to work. I seriously can NOT recommend Christy enough, and will absolutely be hiring her again for our future needs. Thanks so much, Christy!”
“Amelia stayed in our home and looked after our geriatric small dog recently. (This was our first experience with Rover). On a previous trip when she’d been boarded, our dog hadn’t eaten and had lost several lbs, so we needed help. Amelia was perfect! My dog was able to stay home with no change to her routine. I received pics, texts and had an stress-less trip thanks to Amelia!”
“Katie was attentive and handled everything Keto had to throw at her, we had her watch keto at our wedding and roam about during cocktail hour with Keto in a little suit, I heard he was adorable, would definitely book her again for events or just to watch our little guy, thanks for coming🙂”
“Abby is excellent! She took wonderful care of our 2 dogs, 2 cats and home durning an overnight stay. Our high energy, anxious and often particular doodle took to her immediately as did the rest of our menagerie. Abby communicated throughout her stay and sent many pictures and videos. We returned to a spotless home and very happy animals. Could not recommend Abby more and hope to have her house sit for us again in the future!”
“Trinity was reliable, took good care of our energetic puppy, and gave us peace of mind while we were away. We appreciated her help and would be happy to recommend her to others looking for someone dependable to care for their pets.”
About: As a veterinary assistant, I offer trained hands, expert attention for seniors or puppies, and true peace of mind while loving your pup like my own! As a full-time student, my daily schedule gives me flexible home study hours, perfect for frequent potty breaks, cozy study breaks, and lots of attentive love! In your home, I keep your pet comfortable by sticking to their usual routine offering gentle care, fun playtime, and endless cuddles in familiar surroundings!
“Haleigh did a great job with my dog. She was very accommodating, and willing to help make my dog feel loved and cared for when I was not home. She was able to step in and take on the task with less than 24 hours notice, so I am very grateful for her help. Through the pictures and updates that she had sent me throughout the days, I can tell that my dog really appreciated having her around.”
“Brooklyn was excellent with our pups and bird. She was attentive to their needs and provided daily updates and pictures. She accommodated our early return for an emergency. Would not hesitate to use her again. Thank you”
About: I have been around family pets from the age of 5 years old. At 17, I raised my own dog from a puppy as well as participated in obedience training up to the advanced level. I have worked with dogs of various breeds and sizes through house sitting and volunteering, and I have experience with dogs of all ages from newborn puppies to senior dogs. I have also had pet cats and enjoy caring for them and their needs. PLEASE NOTE: New clients must book a minimum of 5 nights for the first stay. My job allows me to work fully remote, meaning that my place of work allows me to be flexible for extended stays as well as have pauses throughout each day for the ideal at-home pet care schedule. I strive to maintain a routine as close to each pet's home life as possible. I set clear and simple boundaries for clients' pets that reflect those of their owner and allow them to feel at home with me as their sitter.
About: 🐾 Experienced, Loving Care for Dogs of Every Kind 🧡 For the past 10 years, I’ve had the pleasure of caring for dogs of all shapes, sizes, ages, and personalities—from playful puppies to sweet seniors who need a little extra patience and special care. 🐶 I’m comfortable with a wide range of temperaments and am also experienced with beginning training and reinforcing good habits. Most importantly, I take a welcoming, trustworthy, and patient approach so every dog feels safe, comfortable, and cared for. Whether your pup needs exercise, playtime, companionship, basic training, or a little extra TLC, I’m here to treat them like family while you’re away. 🧡🐕 🏡 Flexible, Dedicated Care for Your Fur Babies 🐾🧡 I work from home with a very flexible schedule, which allows me the freedom to travel and work from anywhere. That flexibility means I can give your pets the time, attention, and companionship they deserve not just a quick visit, but genuine care throughout the day. 🐶🐱 I’m also available for house sitting and extended pet-sitting stays, making me a great fit for longer trips, vacations, or times when your pets simply do best with someone around. My goal is to make your time away easier and give you peace of mind knowing your fur babies and your home are in caring, trustworthy hands. 🧡🐾 🐾 Active Adventures or Cozy Companionship—Whatever Your Pet Needs 🧡 I’m an active pet sitter who loves getting outside for walks, exploring, and little adventures that keep your pets happy, excited, and engaged. Whether your pup loves a long walk, a game of fetch, or simply discovering new smells along the way, I’m always happy to keep them moving and having fun! 🐶🌿 At the same time, I understand that not every pet is looking for an adventure. Some animals thrive in a calm, quiet environment where they can relax and feel secure. I’m happy to slow things down and give them all the patience, comfort, and one-on-one attention they need. 🐱🏡 Every pet is different, and I love meeting them where they are—whether that means adventure, playtime, cuddles, or simply being a calm and caring presence. 🧡
About: I enjoy taking active dogs for long walks & runs! No issue providing meds & special attention for older fellas/ladies. I have sat for cats for extended stays as well. Happy to do so again! I work remote 3-5 days a week so I can take breaks to walk your dogs or give them a potty break a few times per day, including midday. I currently have no pets at home, however I grew up with 2-3 dogs and a cat for 18 years. I'll love taking your dog for long walks/runs if they need it! I am happy to care for special needs animals or those who require medications at each meal. Just send me your instructions and I'll treat them as you would! I am open to sitting cats, but would consider myself a dog person.
“Emma is a fantastic person to care for your pets and your home. After finding out I needed last minute surgery, I worried about finding the right care for my dogs. Emma flawlessly cared for my two semi-neurotic chihuahuas with love, humor and professionalism while I was gone for multiple nights. I received timely updates, my dogs were happy, their medication schedule was adhered to properly, my home was just as I left it (if not better!), and overall I returned to the feeling that I had worried about my dogs for nothing and everything had worked out in the best way possible. I can’t thank Emma enough for making me and my and pups feel safe and secure that every detail would be handled just as if I was home with them.”
About: I have been taking care of my own pets since age 10 when I got my first dog. I now have 3 cats and 3 energetic dogs. I can provide care for whatever your pups may need, whether it is long walks, a game of fetch, or snuggles. I currently work four days a week so I always have a weekday free as well as weekends as available around caring for my own pets. I am very accustomed to an active life and energetic dogs so long walks and hikes are always an option. I can provide any experience that works best for your fur babies! Let me know how to make your pets day!
“Lexi did a great job housesitting while we were away. We came back to a tidy house and two happy dogs who seemed to have been well taken care of. We would be happy to work with her again for pet care :)”
“I needed Savannah for a very last minute emergency and she stepped up and was INCREDIBLE! She was so kind and patient and even helped keep my apartment clean being my puppy was a bit of a mess. I highly recommend!”
About: I grew up being the one primarily responsible for taking care of my family’s labradors. I’ve always been an animal lover. My family has both a Boykin Spaniel and a Russian Blue cat. I have also taken care of family friends and neighbors cats and dogs. I love going for walks and playing with furry friends. I’m currently working a flexible part time research job on weekdays so I’ll have plenty of time to give your pets the attention they deserve! I live in a 2 story townhome with a small fenced in yard. My neighborhood is very pet friendly including a dog park. Although I have a cat and dog, they do not live in my townhome, and stay at my family’s house. Your pets would be receiving my full attention! I am very accommodating to any and all requests for your pet needs!
About: I have 3 years of personal experience taking care and watching animals especially dogs. I have a black lab who I love dearly and I will love your pets like they are my own. I also have experience of watching more than one dog at the same time. I have grown up with dogs and have been around dogs my whole life. I will take your dogs on long walks and play ball or frisbee with your dog if that is something they will like to do. Also if your dog needs to be brushed I will also brush your dog too. And last I am a very reliable and responsible person and I will make sure your pets are safe and taken care of. I work from home so I have a very flexible schedule and I am able to leave and go any time I need too. I am available all the time. I care for a 6 year old black lab who I have had since he was 3 months old and he has a structured routine but also gets lots of treats and bones. I will care and treat your pets as if they are my own.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Northwest
Ceara was a life saver after another sitter cancelled last minute she came through for us so we could get away for the week and our golden retriever absolutely loved her from the first time we met! It's so important to feel good about the person taking care of our fur baby (that thinks he is the center of the universe and a little spoiled) but I instantly felt at ease with Ceara! She has two pups of her own and didn't mind our dogs early morning schedule. I highly recommend her and will definitely be using her again as we travel often! 🐾💕🐾

FAQs for House Sitting - Northwest
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 778 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Northwest. 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 Northwest 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 Northwest 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 Northwest 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.

- 97% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 98% can help with daily exercise
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.
