“Our Family had a fairly long trip and did not want to put our dogs in a different location. Looking on Rover we found Phillip who responded right away. Our trip was through Thanksgiving and that was not a problem for him. He came over to meet our two dogs and they took to him right away. Received updates from him even though for us maybe a little more communication would have been nice but the over-all experience was really good. When we returned back from our trip and he dropped off our house key the dogs were so very excited to see him. Normally when we are gone and come back our dogs tend to not be themselves for a while. We got right back into things with them like we never left. Thanks for taking such good care of our girls.”
“Rebecca took great care of our 2 dogs, cat, and house. She was very responsive and sent us updates every day. I fully trust her to take care of them and will book Rebecca again when we travel next!”
“Morgan watched our 3 dogs and 1 cat, which was no easy feat, and she made it look easy. Not only is she trustworthy and kind, the animals loved her and she sent photo updates while we were on vacation. To have no stress while out of town and our babies looked after so well is priceless. She is now our regular sitter :)”
“Took such amazing care of our 3 dogs on short notice. Allowed us to have our minds at ease while we got married. Cleaned up some messes they made inside and outside as well and sent photo updates constantly.”
“Vanessa did a wonderful job taking care of my sweet little senior dog. She also did a great job house sitting. My Cooper was happy and I was extremely happy. I will not hesitate to ask for Vanessa to dog/housesit for me again.”
“A huge thank you to Macie for taking such good care of my pets over Christmas. She worked hard to bond with them and make them as happy as possible. I have very chaotic, anxious-energy dogs, but she did everything to calm them while I was away. Macie was also very communicative and took pictures for me, which I really appreciated.”
“Tanner is absolutely the best! He stayed in our home with Willy while we were out of town, and we couldn’t have asked for anyone better to care for him. Tanner went above and beyond, taking Willy on walks, playing with him, giving him plenty of attention, and making sure he was happy and comfortable while we were away. Tanner is incredibly kind, polite, professional, and clearly knowledgeable when it comes to caring for pets. He also took excellent care of our home and somehow left it in even better shape than when we left! We would wholeheartedly recommend Tanner to anyone looking for a trustworthy, responsible, and caring pet sitter. We will absolutely be using him again in the future. Thank you so much for taking such great care of our Willy, Tanner! 🐾”
“Suzanne kept me in the know with my puppy daily and quick to respond. She and my pup got along very well and was well taken care of as well as the house itself. I recommend Suzanne to housesit for your furry friend! Thanks Suzanne ❤️”
“Allison (Rae) took incredible care of both my dog and my sister’s pup over the Fourth of July weekend! She walked and played with them a lot and made them both comfortable despite their separation anxieties. She left the house spotless and even ran a load of dishes! I would definitely have her house and dogsit for me again!”
“Julie was absolutely wonderful! She took such good care of my Mazie girl. Mazie is a newish rescue and she is nervous at first. Julie has a very calming presence and Mazie seemed comfortable with her right away. She also took great care of my home during her stay. I highly recommend Julie for your pet sitting needs.”
“Rachel was awesome! StanLee is a sweet little guy, but he also operates at a fairly high level of anxiety and has some very specific opinions about life. Rachel handled him perfectly. He got stroller rides, adventures at the river, plenty of time running around, and, most importantly for StanLee, lots of companionship and attention. Rachel communicated with me throughout his stay and sent plenty of pictures, so I always knew he was happy and well cared for. I’m pretty sure StanLee thought he was on vacation and I was the one being boarded. Thank you, Rachel, for taking such great care of my pal! We’ll absolutely be calling you again for StanLee’s next getaway.”
“Meaghan was great with our little girl! We had a last minute trip, and Meaghan was just who we needed as a pet and house sitter. She was flexible and communicated every day. We received daily reports with pictures so we knew how Tahlia’s days and nights went. Meaghan took great care of our house, and spent nights so that Tahlia had a constant companion.”
“Emma has been absolutely great with my Stormi! And understanding with my schedule. She plays with her and sends me updates with pictures. Stormi gets so excited to see her. She does such a great job. I really appreciate her.”
“We have a 1.5 y/o puppy and a 14.5 y/o dog who have very different needs. Amanda seemed to navigate that with ease and was very good about asking questions in both the intro meeting and during the first stay.”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Opportunity is $50

We had Emma house-sit and care for our 9 year-old Duck Tolling Retriever, Tillie, for nearly 3 weeks, while we were overseas. This was the first time we hired her and were very pleased. I left detailed notes/instructions for Emma re feeding, potty and walking schedules, which she carefully followed. As requested, she happily let Tillie sleep on our bed with her and provided occasional email updates and photos. Emma collected and organized all of our mail, newspapers and packages. Also, as instructed, she listened to messages left on our phone and wrote down the date, person calling, phone number and subject matter for us to easily review upon returning. We arrived home to a very clean home. Without asking, Emma had cleaned the guest bathroom she had used, washed the sheets and put them back on our bed, washed towels, vacuumed all carpets and cleaned the kitchen counters and any dishes used. I highly recommend Emma and will definitely have her house and dog-sit for us in the future. She is friendly, trustworthy, and dependable. Perhaps, most important, she bonded well with Tillie and gave her lots of love and walks. My condo neighbors who interacted with Emma were very complimentary, too

I would recommend Vanessa to anyone who is looking for an amazing dog sitter, she sat with my boys for 5 days and I didn’t worry one bit, she sent pics twice a day and checked in which was great so I was able to relax knowing they were in great hands. When we got home my our house was in better condition than when we left. Thank you Vanessa!! I will definitely book you again.
Macie was so amazing! We had an incident with our house keys and she was so patient while we called a locksmith. She took pictures of our dogs in the yard while she was there and kept us apprised of any issues she had with them. Our dogs took to her very easily and we will have her back for our next trip. Highly recommended! 🥰
We had a wonderful experience with Jessalyn and would book with her again. She took amazing care of our dog, kept us updated, sent lots of pictures and videos which was so fun to see, and went above and beyond to make sure he was happy and comfortable. She even gave him baths before we got home and vacuumed everything up afterward, which was such a thoughtful touch and so appreciated. It was clear she genuinely cared for him which is so nice to see when we are out on a trip. We're so grateful for the excellent care and attention she provided. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and dependable dog sitter!
Bryce was absolutely amazing! He took great care of our dog and home while we were out of town for a week. Bryce was very diligent to make sure that our dog followed his regular routine like walks, feeding schedule, etc. My partner and I greatly appreciate the respect he had for our home and the love he showed our dog. We would absolutely recommend Bryce and will certainly book with him again in the future.
Jenny was great with my 2 dogs! She was always on time, great communication, and was very good with both my puppy and my more difficult adult male dog who is reactive on leash and can be mouthy. She is wonderful with my dogs and has been a repeat sitter and walker for me and I will continue to rehire her in the future!
I am so grateful for Kimarie. She was amazing with my two senior dogs Lulu and Ruby. If I couldn’t be with them, I would choose Kimarie to care for them. I highly recommend Kimarie to anyone looking for a responsible dog/house sitter that you can completely trust! Much thanks to Kimarie!
We just moved to Spokane and we have a Chihuahua and a German Shepherd/Belgium. Addison followed all of our instructions and informed us about a potty accident and cleaned it. Which we were really thankful for. Addison, is transparent and honest about what goes on with the dogs and that gave me comfort, knowing that we could trust her.
Kathy was so great with my fur babies! Constant attention, love, ball throwing, more attention and when I ran out of the dogs bougie rice appetizer , she made him more. They were well loved and taken care of while I was gone. House looked great when I got back! Couldn’t be happier

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 Opportunity 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 Opportunity 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 Opportunity 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.
