“Nathan housesat for my 3 Labs recently while I was away for a few days. I was so please with his attentive care of my dogs. I really appreciated how he kept in touch with me almost daily both sending pictures of their walks and letting me know that they all were doing great. My 2 year old Lab developed an eye infection just prior to my trip and so need eye drops and Nathan did an awesome job making sure she got her drops daily for the amount of time prescribed by her Vet. My dogs seemed happy and content when I returned from my trip which for me is a testament to what a great job he did. I felt relieved and relaxed while I was away knowing my pups were in good hands with Nathan.”
“Kaitlyn did a wonderful job taking care of Poppins. Every evening we got a report and photos on how the day went. Along with taking care of Poppy Kaitlyn also took good care of our home bringing in the newspaper and the mail and keeping us updated on the wind storm. When our flight home was seriously delayed Kaitlyn was fantastic in finding ways to make sure Poppy was cared for until we actually made it home. We arrived back to a relaxed, contented pup and a clean house! I am very grateful to Kaitlyn for all her help.”
“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!”
“When you're heading out of town the key to retaining your sanity is limiting the number things you to worry about. Heather took every concern I had about leaving my dog and my house for a week right off my list. She communicates extremely well, she's cheerful and caring with our dog and she didn't bat an eye if anything she didn't expect occurred. She just handled it all gracefully. She's responsible, capable and a delight to work with. Will definitely hire her again.”
“Brandi was so good with our crazy puppy and took beautiful care of our home! We asked whether we could adopt her! Our flight home was late and she was really gracious about it!”
“Mackenzie was absolutely amazing! I was so worried to leave my senior pets for 10 days but she put me ease with her kindness and experience. She had great communication and compassion towards my pets when they had an accident. I felt like she truly loved them as her own. We also loved getting photo updates throughout our trip- she even crocheted cute little hats for the dogs and cat. Would love to have her back to sit again!”
“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!”
“Mayra - thank you so much for the loving care you gave our two puppy girls. It was so hard to leave our girls, but we were able to enjoy our long awaited vacation knowing they were happy and well taken care of by you. All the puppy smiles and happy tails in the pictures and videos you sent lifted our hearts. We could tell they weren't just doing okay - they were doing great with you! Upon arriving home, it was evident that you gave the same thoughtful care to our house too. Thank you for everything! I know our girls will be thrilled to see you when you visit again. You're the best!”
“I almost hate to write this, because Karen may get so busy that I won’t be able to book her! I can’t say enough good about her. Probably the best part was that she had my really anxious/antisocial pup relaxed in no time—and it was July 4. Fireworks going off all the time. Karen sent me updates and pics of both dogs on a regular basis. I do believe my house was cleaner than when I left it. Karen even contacted me for pooper scooper info. Wonderful energy. She is “the dog whisperer.””
“Isaac did a great job taking care of my dog. He was attentive, reliable, and clearly cared for my pup like his own. I came home to a happy, well-loved dog—highly recommend!”
“We cannot recommend Baylee highly enough! Before this trip, we had never left our dogs with anyone other than family because they are incredibly spoiled and struggle with separation anxiety. Needless to say, we were very nervous about leaving them for 5 nights, but Baylee exceeded every expectation we had and made the entire experience completely stress-free. From the very beginning, Baylee was punctual, professional, and an excellent communicator. She kept us updated throughout each day with thoughtful messages and plenty of pictures, giving us complete peace of mind while we were away. She followed our dogs' routine exactly as we had requested, and it was clear she genuinely cared about making them feel comfortable, safe, and loved. The level of care, patience, and attention she gave our dogs was truly exceptional. We honestly cannot say enough wonderful things about the way she cared for them. Even our very nervous, sometimes grumpy dog—who is typically slow to trust new people was cuddling up to Baylee by the second day! That alone speaks volumes about her kindness, patience, and natural ability to connect with animals. It was evident throughout the entire experience that Baylee treated both our home and our pets with exceptional care and respect. Finding someone you trust to care for your pets and your home is incredibly rare, and Baylee is truly one of those people. We returned to happy, relaxed, well-cared-for pups and we couldn't be more grateful for everything she did. She went above and beyond in every way, and we would recommend her without hesitation to anyone looking for outstanding, trustworthy pet care. We will absolutely be booking with her again in the future!”
“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.”
“Bryan is a wonderful sitter. Excellent communication, kept me posted frequently on my dog, sent pictures (when my dog could stay still!). Left the place clean and spotless. Would recommend over and over. Amazing, caring, personable and genuinely cares for animals.”
“Casey is friendly, communicative, and very loving and patient with our 2 pups. We have s tripod who is deathly afraid of storms and Casey made it possible for us to travel. Highly recommended”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Paine Field-Lake Stickney
What can we say - Meaghan was fabulous. We couldn't have asked for a better experience than the one we got with Meaghan. We were provided constant updates on our girls and she was always super responsive with any communication. Not once did we ever worry about our girls - we knew they were being cared for by the best. We walked back into our home after our trip and it was in better shape than when we left it. To say that we had a positive experience is an understatement. Will definitely be using Meaghan's services going forward!
Alyssa is spectacular. She took such great care of our dogs and they loved her. We loved the updates she sent and she was very communicative the entire time we were gone. Our house was pristine when we came home and she did lots of little extras we didn’t expect but really appreciated. Highly recommend!
Erica got along well with our large, energetic 4 year old dog. She sent us a photo and update every day, so we knew our pup was doing fine in our absence. Erica arrived at the appointed time and left our home in good condition when the job was completed. We will request her again in the future.
Noelle was so good with my elderly cat who had all sorts of health issues while she was taking care of her, on top of being diabetic and needing insulin. I tend to be very anxious about leaving my cat and Noelle’s competent and direct demeanor really put me at ease while I was traveling and far from home. My cat also doesn’t warm up to new people very fast but was sleeping with Noelle on the first night and demanding all the pets. It was such a relief knowing she was well cared for. I’m so glad I found Noelle and would hire her again in a heartbeat.
Nuora had watched Woody several times for us and always provides excellent care. This time, she had to navigate a health scare for him while we were away and did so with amazing compassion, communication, and response. We are so grateful to you Nuora, for how you navigated this challenging experience with us and making sure Woodward got the best of care. <3
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.
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!

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.
