“She stayed in touch with many pics. Our 3 dogs are in great spirits. She even washed the bedding from our spare room. The one she used while dog sitting. We will try to use her again, granted schedules match.”
“Shelby was so incredible! She was very attentive to our pups, sent lots of pictures, and handled our special needs dog with the utmost care and grace. She went above and beyond by washing a few dishes we had left in the sink before we went out and we were surprised and delighted that she did that for us. We look forward to seeing her again and so do our pups!”
“Victoria is absolutely fabulous! My dogs adore her! She is excellent at communication and sending bunches of photos. She was also flexible with my schedule when I had to change the reservation at the last minute. I highly recommend Victoria!”
“Once again Kelda was absolutely amazing with my pets. She is by far the best sitter I have ever had and if I’m going out of town, there’s no one I would rather have watching over my boys.”
“Mandi was such a trooper and never once complained our pups early wake up times!! The dogs were well cared for as was our home!! She was communicative before, during and after her stay and we would not hesitate to have her sit again if she’d have us. Thanks Mandi!!”
“Natalie always leaves our house in better condition than it was! Our dog Bear loves hanging out with her- she is a natural animal lover and we will continue to go to her whenever possible :)”
“Whitley stayed at our house and watched our pups for a few nights. She communicated well with us and took such great care of them and our home. I would highly recommend her!”
“Lily was wonderful. She was quick to respond and did a complimentary meet-n-greet. She showed up on time and sent me pictures and a summary of what my puppy did during their time together. I plan on hiring her again, and would highly recommend her.”
“Keegan was amazing! We have a very nervous and dog-reactive German Shepherd, so we were worried about finding the right sitter. Keegan exceeded our expectations and took such great care of both of our dogs. She was patient, reliable, and made us feel completely at ease while we were away. We came home to two happy, well cared for pups and couldn’t be more grateful. We’re so happy to have found our go-to person for watching our dogs and would highly recommend her to anyone!”
“Daniel is amazing. Don’t hesitate to book with him. He took wonderful care of our pups and the house while we were away for over a week. He sent daily updates and photos. He was super motivated to do a great job for us and made sure everything was taken care of so we could enjoy our trip. We will for sure book with him again!”
“Victoria is amazing! We were struggling with leaving our fur babies for a week, but Victoria put our mind at ease. She took such good care of our babies and home. When she stopped by to drop off the key all of our dogs (3 of them) were excited to see her again. To top it off, she is just a genuinely amazing person that is kind and trustworthy. We will absolutely be using her in the future.”
“Jazmine did a great job watching over my pets, she communicated daily activities and anything additional that had come up. I received daily photos of my boys and could tell they were well cared for when I got back. Will definitely be a repeating customer”
“Silvia is the real deal! She is very communicative, flexible, and patient. I felt very comfortable having her watch my dogs and handle their rowdiness. She kept in touch when they were being cute and sent pictures…and when they weren’t so good and let me know what was going on. If you are looking for a solid, reliable sitter, Silvia is your person.”
“Susan was excellent. We really appreciated everything that she did for us (house sitting and dog walking) and we were very confident that our pets would be well taken care of. I will hire her again when the need arises and would strongly recommend her to anyone else.”
“Christian went above and beyond taking care of our fur babies. He exceeded our expectations, kept in constant contact while we were out of the country. He was housesitting for us and was very respectful to ask for permission if he had something new come up. It gives us great comfort to know this young man is available to provide such excellent care and keep an eye on our home. We look forward to booking him many times in the future.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Orting
I want to start by saying that I am a helicopter parent when it comes to my animals. It takes a lot for me to trust that someone can care for them the way they need to be cared for. Many of my animals have special needs. Whitley is amazing with the babies! They are so excited to see her and are so comfortable with her. The dogs range in age and have different food and medical needs. Whitley was able to get everyone fed and medicated correctly and I was able to not stress about it while I was away. She even went above and beyond and let my duck out to free range for the day. We already have her booked for our next trip and feel better knowing that they are in very caring and capable hands.
Katey was such a sigh of relief and end to our travel troubles! My boys loved her and were so comfortable at home being spoiled and loved. Katey reached out right away and was flexible and communicative for a meet and greet. She sent pictures while we traveled and made sure to send us updates. She even made sure to explain how she would attempt to save the axolotl from his tank in an emergency (so silly but we would never have thought of that!) I didn't have a single worry and will book Katey again.

FAQs for House Sitting - Orting
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Orting on Rover is $44.4 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 4,564 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Orting. 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 Orting 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 Orting 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 Orting 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.

- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 95% 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.
