About: Hi! I’m a huge animal lover and would love to help take care of your pets. I offer dog walking, drop-in visits, and house sitting for both dogs and cats. I have a fun, energetic 1.5-year-old Goldendoodle of my own, so I’m used to keeping active pups happy, but I’m just as happy hanging out with laid-back dogs and cats. I’ll treat your pets like they’re my own and make sure they get lots of attention, love, and care while you’re away. I’ll also keep you updated with plenty of photos so you can relax knowing they’re in good hands!
“Kaitlyn is wonderful!! When we came home from our trip, our dogs were happy, and our house looked great. Our dogs are very high energy, and Kaitlyn knew how to address their very different needs. She’s trustworthy, professional, and a great friend to our furry loved ones. I’m so glad to be able to rely on her when we are away or need someone to come play with our dogs when we have a busy day. Our vacation was so much more relaxing knowing our dogs were in good hands!”
“Nathan did a super job house-sitting our Great Dane while we were away for a week. Communications and updates were timely and thorough, and our dog grew to be very comfortable with him. We'll definitely be asking him to stay with her again next time we're out of town.”
“Mishie was absolutely wonderful with Kailani and Ani! From the moment we left, she kept us updated with lots of photos, videos, and detailed messages, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. She took the time to read and follow our care book, respected our routines, and it was obvious she genuinely cared about our dogs. We came home to two happy, well-cared-for pups, and that means everything to us. After a previous bad experience with another sitter, finding someone like Mishie was such a relief. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who is reliable, communicative, and truly loves animals. Thank you, Mishie!”
“Bryan is a kind and dog loving person. He was attentive to my dogs needs. He played a lot with her and really interacted with her. I couldn’t tell he’d stayed in our home; everything was neat and clean when we got home. My dog really loved Bryan!”
“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!”
“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! ❤️”
“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!”
“Zachariah was a pleasure to work with. Our two doggies instantly loved him! He has a kind demeanor and is a great communicator. We hired him for a 4 day stay over and he was responsible, respectful and clean. He sent us photos of our doggies every day and reached out when he had questions. We will be hiring him again in the future.”
“Sherri was absolutely amazing! She updated us with texts and photos of our dog throughout the weekend! Very communicative and we will definitely be using her again!”
“Mackenzie was great with our cats. She has chill cat energy that our cranky eldest cat and our timid semi-feral youngest cat both appreciated. She was very responsive and sent us great pictures of the kitties and house details.”
“Paris did an amazing job house sitting with my 2 kitties for a long trip!! She was punctual, communicative, friendly, great at following instructions and asking questions, and gave me plenty of check ins (with cute pictures) to make me feel perfectly safe even from far away. My two cats also loved her and I came home to happy and loved animals which was perfect! My house was left in very clean condition as well and it made coming home even easier. I couldn’t recommend Paris enough! She did an amazing job overall and I will definitely be booking again!”
“Hallie was so great!!!! Never left my fur babies this long, she took good care of my pups. I was definitely impressed. I Would recommend her. I will definitely use her again. She really deserves more than 5 stars”
“Heather was fantastic! She house and cat sat for our shy indoor/outdoor cat. Heather was wonderfully communicative, very responsible, and a delight to interact with. She even managed to make friends with our kitty cat, which is no small feat. I highly recommend her and plan on using her again!”
About: I've taken care of cats my whole life, as I have always had them. I've also taken care of friends dogs and helped a friend who has show dogs, feeding them, playing with them, ect. I currently work full time, Monday-friday 6am-3pm. My shifts are pretty flexible as well. I tend to keep my weekends open for any pet sitting needs. I have a dog park in my apartment complex and trails near me for walks. I have a spare bedroom your fur baby would have free range of.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Paine Field-Lake Stickney
Erica took incredible care of our pup Amber during our 10 day trip out of the country! She sent photo updates and we could tell when we got back that she was well taken care of. Erica follows care instructions meticulously and leaves your home clean. We will definitely be booking Erica again for long and short sits!
Yolimar was a wonderful pet sitter. It was very last minute that we needed someone and she was able to accommodate us. She gave frequent updates letting us know how our puppy was doing. She took very good care of our little miss. So much so, that when we got home and she said her hellos to us, she went looking for Yolimar. She was spoiled. Five stars.
Meaghan did an excellent job taking care of our house and two spoiled senior chihuahuas, while we are on vacation for a week. She was professional, friendly and caring. Louie & Banjo got plenty of walks, cuddles, and attention, both dogs were happy and well cared for when we returned. The house was clean and well taken care of. Meaghan went above & beyond! We’re so grateful for all the love and attention she gave the dogs and the house. Highly recommend Meaghan to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter and house sitter!
Bee is truly an incredible doggo friend! She stayed with my Great Dane while I was on vacation and during some of the hottest days of the year. She rearranged the apartment a little bit to get better airflow and ensure my dogs comfort and, even while working, showed up exactly when Bella needed. They got to go on adventures, save baby bunnies, and share head bonks, all while keeping me informed through text. It was a pleasure working with her and I hope to work with her again in the future!
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!
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.

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 August 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 August 2026, there are 7,223 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.
