“Alyssa stayed with my needy little poodle mix and also my son’s active golden retriever for a long weekend. Both dogs seemed happy and relaxed when we came on and the house was clean and tidy. I would totally have her come again!”
About: I have been watching family and friends animals since I was 12. Always my passion, I have spent walking shelter dogs for Regional Animal Shelter of King County, which fed my soul. I love animals and I will go above and beyond so that your fur baby feels all of your love when you're gone. I don’t work at all so I’m available just about anytime. I would have my son with me. I pick up my other son from school around 11:40 so in between that and after I’m available. I live in a double wide trailer with lots of space and a beautiful big yard. I could also crate them if needed. My kids are very gental with dogs as well and they love to play!
“Penny is a rock star. We left our dog and my daughter’s dog with her at our house over Christmas. My daughter’s dog has a seizure disorder and takes 3 pills twice a day. He hadn’t had a seizure in months, but of course had 3 Grand Mals in one day with Penny. She got in touch with us and handled the situation perfectly, giving him his extra meds and keeping a close watch on him. She even offered to not go to her sister’s house on Christmas so she could keep an eye on Lovund. My dog, who is very quirky, ignored Penny most of the time, but Penny was not fazed but this. June finally approached Penny after we got home, wagging her tail and licking Penny’s hand- June’s stamp of approval! Our house was in good shape when we got home. I felt very comfortable leaving our pups with Penny and would not hesitate to utilize her again.”
“Megan took such good care of our two girlies. She checked in with us multiple times a day and kept us updated on her comings and going’s. We also got so many cute pictures- we could tell the girls were very happy and getting lots of attention. Will definitely rebook!”
About: I don't bring any negativity with me to work!! I've had or been around dogs of all ages all my life. I have 3 now. We all know there more our children then our animals! And I will treat them as if they are my own "children" I am free all day Monday through Friday from 8am to 4pm It will give me something to do while my husband is at work! While in your home or with your fur baby I will follow all rules and instructions, I don't bring or create drama! I will always keep as close to your time line as possible.
About: I am a mature, reliable, healthy, energetic woman that has owned homes in the US and Canada for 40 years. I have had many dogs and cats, most often large dogs. I want to house/pet sit throughout the US so I will be able to get to know different regions during my retirement. I am fully Covid vaccinated. While I am retired, I continue to volunteer a lot for my church and several local organizations. While pet sitting, I usually do quilting projects in the morning, explore in the afternoons and knit while watching TV in the evenings. I usually care for pets in their own home. I believe this is the least stressful for the pets and my clients say I give them peace of mind while they travel.
“Olivia is a gem. It’s such a gift to find a pet sitter that is very communicative, considerate, thoughtful, and trustworthy. Olivia was proactive with our pets and asked us really good questions to ensure all their needs were met. She was wonderful with her updates and photos. Our pets just loved her! We highly recommend her pet care and we will be booking again!”
About: What sets me apart is the genuine love and patience I have for every dog I care for. With 7 years of experience, I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs. I treat each dog like they’re my own, giving them plenty of attention, care, and comfort while making sure they feel safe and happy I am currently working full time from 10:30-8 pm I am available all day on Wednesday’s and Thursdays! I am more than happy and willing to keep your fur babies happy on my days off. If i need to adjust my schedule to match yours, please let me know :) I have an open back and front yard that is on private property. I also have 4 dogs that will keep your doggie company :) I can also crate your dog if i have too!
About: I love animals. I’ve grown up with dogs and have had 3 dogs myself. I will care for your furry children like my own. I currently have 2 dogs, chihuahua mix and a poodle mix. They get along with other dogs really well. I can administer medicine and I’m a former pharmacist! I have a campervan with AC and would love to take your pup camping! I work remote and can stay at your home full time to care for your pets. I won’t leave them home alone more than 4 hours. I love going for long walks and I’ll take them to parks if that’s what they like. Play fetch, cuddles, and they can sleep with me if they want as well!
“We just finished our second house/pet sitting long weekend with Dominique and I'm so thankful to have found her here! She takes such great care of our golden retriever, keeps me updated with photos and all throughout her time at our house, and is a pleasure to work with. We are already booking another long weekend with her when we will be out of town. Thank you so much Dominique!”
“Sarah did a wonderful job taking care of our two dogs - Archie and Frankie! She sent us updates daily with pictures. The house was clean when we returned and she even watered my outside plants. We will definitely request Sarah to pet sit for us again. Thank you Sarah!”
“Very kind and sweet girl. Watched our babies overnight and it was nice to know that we could trust her with our girls. Was very communicative while with them and sent pics. We had a mishap at the beginning when our key didn’t work for her to get in. Luckily she was very understanding and patient as we got that figured out. Would definitely recommend her if you have a hard time finding trustworthy people to care for your dogs. We will be using her again.”
“My dogs loved Mackenzie from the first moment they met her. She emanates kindness and a love for living things. She was available on very short notice, prompt, communicative and thorough. She even helped me with a difficult neighborhood kitty and made sure my beloved feral kitty was fed and safe. My dogs have separation anxiety therefore I often dont leave them. I feel so relieved that now that I have someone I can trust and they feel comfortable with to care for them and for our home.”
About: I’ve had dogs my entire life, so I’m no stranger to the work that comes with taking care of them. I’ve helped care for entire puppy litters and have experience with end of life care as well. Over the years, I’ve been around dogs at all stages of life and have learned that no two dogs are exactly alike. I’m comfortable with the responsibility that comes with caring for someone else’s pet, and I understand how important it is to have someone you can trust with your dog. I have a flexible work schedule and can handle most of my work from home or my phone, which gives me plenty of flexibility to work pet care into my daily routine. I can plan my day around visits, walks, feeding, and spending time with your pet, while making sure they get the attention and care they need. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my priorities. I’ll respect your home, follow your instructions, and make sure your pet is cared for in a safe, familiar environment. I understand the trust involved in leaving your pet with someone else, and I take that responsibility seriously. I’ll keep you updated during visits and let you know if anything seems out of the ordinary. I have a dog of my own, so I’m mindful of making sure every pet is comfortable and safe when boarding. If your pet isn’t comfortable around other dogs, I can easily arrange for my dog to stay with family so your pet can have their own space.
“We loved our experience with Anna! She’s so friendly, communicative, and our dog Sopa loved her!!! She left the house tidy and like she wasn’t even here. She’s such a nice person and great dog sitter! We’ll definitely use her again :)”
About: I connect with pets in a playful way so they have a fun and enjoyable experience, feel less lonely, and are excited and engaged during their day. I am retired and play pickleball regularly, which leaves me with plenty of time throughout the day to care for your pet while you’re away. I will visit your pet in your home, feed and play with them, give them their meds and keep them company. I will walk your dog so they can explore and engage in their surroundings.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Olalla
Our little Molly is 18, hard of hearing and has poor eyesight. Despite her age, she still goes up and down the staircase to our bedroom where she spends most of her time. Given her needs, we looked for a stay-in caretaker. Alyssa was a great fit because she works remotely so she was able to work from our house. She took wonderful care of Molly and kept us informed on how things were going so we were able to enjoy our trip. We came home to a happy and relaxed dog, a clean and tidy house, laundered linens, plus a lovely vase of flowers and thank-you note. We will definitely reach out to Alyssa the next time we travel!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Olalla is $67 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $63 and $100 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 Olalla 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 Olalla 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 Olalla 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Olalla. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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.
