About: I’ve been petsitting/housesitting for just over 6 years. I’ve worked with rescue dogs that have trauma, dogs with epilepsy, dogs with anxiety, dogs that need high energy output, as well as senior dogs. I’ve administered medications in a timely manner and have coordinated care with many owners. I will diligently work for you and your pups! I’m a home nail tech, so my schedule is very flexible. When I’m petsitting, I’m able to build my days around care if need be. I’m quick to learn the routine of the pets, and I do my best to fit within it so the pets can have the most comfort.
“We feel so fortunate to have found Ashley to take care of Leo, our bernedoodle, 7 months old. Ashely is a true dog person with a long history of compassionate, dedicated, and professional care for dogs, including rehabilitating dogs who've been traumatized. What a big heart she has, and rare and special skills. Our Leo stayed with her for 12 days when we travelled. He had a great time playing with Ashley's other dogs and cared for by Ashley's family--a "team effort," as she puts it. Amazingly Leo came home with better puppy manners. He learned good things at Ashley's house! We are really grateful to Ashley for taking such great care of Leo. He clearly had a wonderful doggie time.”
“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.”
About: I've had dogs my whole life, and cats since I was 11. I've mostly pet sat for family and friends so far, and hope to get the opportunity to meet your pet(s) soon too! I will respect your pet's boundaries, they'll get to choose how much or how little they want to interact with me. I can medicate pets, and do so daily with one of my own cats. I currently live with an elderly mini Aussie, and can adjust activity levels as needed for older pets. I'm currently looking for a job related to plants. I have plenty of free time to give your pet(s) whatever care they may need while looking after them. I will do anything your pet may need, including but not limited to crating, medicating, and walks. As long as you can provide me clear instructions, I'll get it done!
“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.”
“Quessandra did an amazing job with Bella. I reached out to her super late at night and last minute and she came through in a pinch. She also sent lots of pics which eased my mind. I will be using her again and again to keep Bella company.”
“Halston was fantastic! He followed every single instruction I left for my dog and made sure he stayed on his routine, which really put my mind at ease while I was away. His communication was excellent. He sent regular updates with photos and videos, so I always knew how my pup was doing. Most importantly, it was clear how much he truly cared for my dog. When I came home, he was happy, healthy, and clearly well-loved. I will absolutely be booking again. Thank you so much!”
“Thank you so much for taking such sweet care of our fur babies! Our little ChiChi was diagnosed with Addisons just the week before and was very ill. We came home to a very happy boy who had gained nearly all 9 pounds of his weight loss back! Thank you!!!”

The average cost of House Sitting in Orting is $49 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $34 and $71 per night.

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 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.

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.
