“Serenity was truly exceptional with our senior girl, and we are so grateful for the level of care she provided. From the moment we left, she made sure we felt at ease. We never leave our dogs, and this was so hard to do but she sent regular updates with photos and videos so we could see how comfortable and happy our girl was. These updates meant a lot to us considering our girl is older and needs a little extra attention. Beyond caring for our dog, Serenity grabbed our mail and kept our home incredibly clean. Walking back into a spotless house after traveling was a gift and it speaks volumes about her respect for our space and her professionalism. It was very clear Serenity loves pet sitting! She was patient, gentle, attentive, and treated our little girl like family. We felt completely comfortable leaving our girl in her hands and we'd book again without hesitation. Anyone looking for a trustworthy, thoughtful, and truly outstanding sitter would be lucky to have her. Thank you, Serenity! We truly appreciate you!”
“Aeries did really good watching over my dog and 2 cats. I will definitely be bringing her back next time I leave. She was very attentive and gave me updates (pictures) daily. 💚 Really great service!”
“Yolimar did an excellent job of taking care of my Hank. She went beyond my expectations and I won't hesitate to call her when I need her. Thank you Yolimar and thank you Rover!”
“Kaitlyn did a wonderful job dog-sitting for our two older pups, including walks and giving oral meds and eye drops. This was our first Rover experience and we were pleased that all went well. We left detailed instructions and received equally-detailed reports every night, including photos. We came home to a clean house and happy dogs.”
“Our other sitter had to cancel last minute. It was 10 o’clock and Heather jumped on the booking. Came over and took the great care of our pets. She sent pictures everyday and made sure we were updated daily. 11 out of 10.”
“Paris was fantastic. So sweet when she met our Gracie…who loved her. She was attentive and responsive when we messaged and took loving care of our baby. It eases the mind to know that your fur babies are being taken care of and loved. We will definitely have Paris watch Gracie next time we need a dog sitter. Also, she watched Gracie in our home and left it tidy and neat🩷”
“Brandy was amazing!! She was able to help us in a pinch, and was so easy to work with and very communicative. Nala is a nervous gal, but Brandy was so quick to make her feel at ease. We will definitely be booking Brandy again! ❤️”
“Incredible first experience with Nathan, not only did he make himself available on short notice but absolutely took incredible care of my 3 awfully particular Dachsunds!!! 10/10 would recommend.”
“Deyaneira was so helpful, kind and caring with our pets. She was able to take our request within 2 days to hangout with our pets for a day. She kept us updated with lots of photos and videos, which I always appreciate. Deyaneira was punctual and communicative, and she was an overall good guest to have in our house. My dogs and I liked her so much we already booked another stay!”
“Zach was a great sitter and attentive. He asked all the right questions to make sure he had all information needed to take care of our dog. He was flexible with our last minute schedule change which we really appreciated.”
“Highly recommend Mackenzie! Super responsive, attentive to our pup, and left the house and room where she stayed impeccably clean. Will definitely be a repeat customer.”
About: Ever aince I got my dog Oscar when I was 12, I have been completely obsessed with dogs! I did the majority of his training and care when he was a puppy, and he became fully house trained, leash trained, and learned lots of fun tricks! Since then, I have cared for countless dogs all over California and Washington in the form of drop-in house visits, walks, going on runs, and overnight house-sitting visits. I love dogs of all sizes and breeds, and I can’t wait to meet yours! I’m currently working from home/on contract, so I have lots of availability! I am available for drop-in visits and walks all hours of the day and overnight stays as needed. I am currently in an small apartment that doesn’t allow pets, so unfortunately I would only be able to care for pets in clients’ homes
“Amanda is awesome and one of the very few people my dog trusts. I feel so much less stress when I’m out of town knowing she’s taking good care of my pup.”
“This was our first time using Rover and having Baylee watch our pup. We have always had family or friends take care of our pets so I was a bit nervous hiring someone we didn't know. We shouldn't have worried, Baylee was professional, caring, and did a wonderful job taking care of our sweet girl (almost 3 year old lab) and our home. Our pup got 3 walks a day plus lots of love and play time. I especially appreciated the photos she sent each day, I could see our girl looked happy and engaged. We would absolutely work with Baylee again and cannot recommend her enough!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Paine Field-Lake Stickney
Where do I start? We met Heather for a meet and greet before the house sitting. Our girls immediately loved her. She graciously agreed to watch our two senior girls over the 4th of July and both of the them are terrified of fireworks. She cared for them and loved them just like we would have. Her willingness to accommodate to their fears, needs and special accommodations was such a relief while we were out of town. When we returned, our house was spotless and the girls well loved. Would absolutely book again. Thank you, Heather, we are so grateful!!!
Deyaneira was incredible! It was our first time doing an overnight Rover and she was extremely communicative easing all of our worries. She constantly sent pics of our pup and it truly made us feel like he was in the best hands. Would recommend to anyone looking for someone!
Mellissa is an excellent dog sitter! She stayed in our home for a week with our 2 dogs and she was absolutely amazing!! She sent daily photo/video updates and responded to messages within the hour. Mellissa helped our dogs feel loved, calm, and happy while we were traveling. Highly recommend Mellissa taking care of your pups!
Naomi did an excellent job caring for our 3 pups and our home. She was easy to communicate with, asked great questions and truly cared for the well being of our pups. We've also had Naomi do mid-day drop in for our pups when we've been gone all day. She is excellent and we look forward to booking her again!
What a wonderful experience! Our family has only taken one vacation in ten years, and the last time we left for 5 days and left our good boys with our breeder. When she wasn't available this time, I was hesitant to check on Rover as I am paranoid about losing our dogs/having someone we didn't know in our home. Jeffery went above and beyond before even meeting him. I put the wrong start date into the app before booking his services. When I changed the date, he had a prior booking. Without skipping a beat, he reached out to his sister and offered to share his stay with her to avoid us having to figure things out on our own. From the meet and greet, pill administering, watering my plants, to my husband's occasional check on Blink seeing him walking our good boys twice a day, he was nothing short of a perfect fit for our family! We will be reaching out to secure him for our next trip this week. Don't hesitate to book this wonderful human!
Erica was great working with us to take care of our animals when I went into labor. She even missed a trip, which we truly appreciated so we knew our furbabies were going to be taken care of while we were in the hospital! She made up my bed and straightened up things in the house before she left, which was such a relief coming home with our newborn!
Ashlynn took great care of our two older animals (an attention-seeking dog with arthritis who needs medication, and a cat). She sent several pictures every day and adapted to their needs well. She also left a very tidy house! We were relieved to be able to go on vacation and not worry about the pets.
Katlyn and Ashley were wonderful sitters for my pups! They stepped in for their first sit on very short notice and took care of the pups as if they were their own. I have a senior that requires extra care and they were so patient with her, and my younger one had an upset tummy for a bit and they were very attentive to make sure she felt better quickly. I am so appreciative of their help and the house was just as I left it!
Kaylee and Brian were amazing with our 2 dogs, one of which is a bit nervous. They kept us informed in our 5 day get away. The overnight service of sleeping at our house was especially great with Kaylee welcoming our dogs to sleep with her just as they do with us. Highly recommend!!!
Serenity was a great caretaker for my puppers and home. We hired her for a weeklong home stay. She has High communication, respectful and clean with our home, and I love the photos that she sent us of our happy Doggo while we were away. I would highly recommend her!
Carlynn took excellent care of our two small dogs and two cats! I loved all of the picture updates she sent and they seemed so happy to have her there to snuggle and play with! She also kept our house so clean, it was lovely to return home to! I would definitely use her again and recommend her for your pet sitting needs.

FAQs for House Sitting - Paine Field-Lake Stickney
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Paine Field-Lake Stickney on Rover is $55.5 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 7,225 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Paine Field-Lake Stickney. 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 Paine Field-Lake Stickney 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 Paine Field-Lake Stickney 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 Paine Field-Lake Stickney 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.
