“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.”
“Natalie did an amazing job when she stayed with my tibetan terrier, Syrah, who has separation anxiety and has never had a stranger stay with her before. Syrah instantly took to her from the moment she entered the door when she came to introduce herself. Natalie is very compassionate about her job and her love for pets. She has excellent communication and shares photos and updates of your pet throughout her stay. Having never used a pet sitter before, I wasn’t sure what to expect but she made it super easy to leave and be on vacation knowing my dog was being well cared for and smothered in cuddles! I came home to a house that looked exactly as I left it. Natalie is very respectful of your home and belongings and treats everything with care. She made sure she cleaned up before leaving and even washed the linens used during her stay! I am so thankful for having found Natalie and would recommend her without hesitation! I’ll definitely have her back as she does a wonderful job caring for my lil one. My dog had so much fun, she’s still trying to catch up on rest and snoring rather loudly 2 days later!”
“Andria was more than we could have ever expected. She far surpassed our expectations and look forward to booking her again! It means the world to be able to leave your fur babies with someone you can trust, and to be able to truly enjoy your time away without any stress or worry.”
“My doggos LOVE Christian. He’s attentive, is a great communicator and goes above and beyond. I truly feel like he loves our dogs like his own. We’re so glad we found him!”
“I cannot express enough how lucky we were to come across Silvia. This was the first time in 10 years that I have left town and actually felt like my dogs were in good hands. Especially my most timid girl that usually just stays in our room all day. Nala actually went on walks which she never does when we leave and our two boys who take over our companies attention got lots of it but so did our Nala girl which meant the world to us. We got an abundance of pictures and even got home to dinner. I cannot express enough how thankful we are not to just have found her but to now have her in our life as a friend. Aside from her loving our dogs, she is very knowledgeable and made sure to follow instructions we left. I will never leave my dogs with anyone else! We have a neighbor who usually texts us when things go downhill with other sitters and when I got home and ran over to talk to her, she said “I had nothing bad to say, I actually really liked her too.””
“We had Emily over for the first time. We were very impressed. It’s difficult to come into a strange house with three cats that don’t know you. She paid meticulous details to my cats and their needs. It is obvious she loves animals. She went above and beyond in care for our cats and our home. We were reassured with a lot of pictures all throughout our vacation. Highly recommended.”
“Emma house sat for an extended stay while we were out of the country. She cared for our cat Tilly and dog Piper and gave many updates throughout her stay. We came home to happy, healthy pets and a well cared for home! Will definitely call Emma again for the next time we are out of town.”
“Absolutely wonderful and a delight to have watch our house and dogs. She was very trustworthy and communicative! I will definitely be looking forward to reaching out to her for assistance again.”
About: At home, I have my friendly mini dachshund, Elo, and our sweet kitten, Eve! They’re a big part of our family, and our home is full of love for animals. We have a fully fenced backyard where dogs can enjoy some outdoor time, play, and explore in a secure space. We also live in a friendly community, making our home a welcoming place for your pets. Over the years, I’ve gained lots of experience caring for animals and understand that every pet is different. Some want to play all day, while others just want a cozy spot to relax and someone to keep them company. I’m happy to follow your pet’s usual routine, whether that means walks, feeding, playtime, cuddles, or simply giving them extra patience and attention. I know leaving your pet with someone else can be hard, so I want you to feel comfortable knowing they’re being cared for with love and attention. I’m happy to send pictures and updates so you can see how they’re doing while you’re away! I’d love to meet you and your pets and help make their time away from you as happy and stress-free as possible. 🐾❤️ I currently am home most days. I do work about three days a week and never more than four hours but my kiddos are home from school at 2pm so pets are never alone. I am available to work on your pets schedule. I have a fully fenced backyard and great pet friendly community. My puppy has his own gated off room so if your pup needs a break from playing he can roam about freely. We mainly have this area for my pup because he is still potty training. Our kitten sleeps in my daughter's room at night but she is out playing during the day. She tends to just say hello to other pets and let them be unless they want to play with her. Your pet will be in a very safe and fully nurtured space!
“Alexis was absolutely amazing. She house sat for us and took care of our dog (with special behavioral needs) and our cat for 10 days. The pets were so happy when we returned, it was as if we had never left. We could tell they were well cared for. She was tidy and well communicative. It was also incredibly helpful that she did a meet and greet before with our pup just to ensure things ran smoothly before we departed for our trip. We felt very secure while away and will definitely be contacting her in the future! She is the absolute sweetest.”
“Outstanding house sitting care for my 10 year old Korean Jindo who still is very active. She clearly bonded very well and communicated with us often including sending pics of my dog happily doing different things. The house looked very clean and tidy when we returned. She will be our pick again.”
“Mallory took great care of our dogs for a weekend while we were away. She kept us updated with pictures of them & responded quickly & took action when one of our dogs broke through the neighbors fence she was able to get them back quickly & even fixed our fence for us. We would recommend Mallory to anyone!”
“If we could give 10 stars, we would! Ashlee went above and beyond taking care of our dog while we were away on vacation. She had great communication, sent tons of pictures and took exceptional care of both our pup and home. On top of that, she was more than willing to extend her stay due to travel complications. We will be repeat customers and are so happy we found her!”
“Carissa was awesome! She took great care of Lilly: was very communicative and gave me notes and pictures my dog every day, and took her for walks and provided top-notch service!”
“We had an absolutely wonderful experience with Emma. Our pup was very nervous, but Emma was incredibly patient, gentle, and understanding, which made all the difference. It was clear from the updates and photos that our dog became more comfortable and relaxed as the stay went on. Communication was excellent throughout, and we always felt reassured knowing our dog was in such caring hands. We would 100% book Emma again and highly recommend her, especially for anyone with an anxious or nervous dog.”
“Eva was amazing! She is such a kind and friendly person! I would definitely ask her to watch our pups again. She was very thorough and great at communication. Eva took such good care of our dogs and sent lots of updates! She made us leaving them stress free.”
“Brandie was amazing for us and our pup! We were gone for 8 days, our longest trip without our dog and Brandie did such a good job with sending us pictures and updates. She also took care of my large amount of house plants, which was a huge bonus. Highly recommend booking with Brandie!”

The average cost of House Sitting in Orting is $47 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $34 and $67 per night.

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 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.
<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 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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
