“Carolyn is the absolute best! She loves and treats our Lily as if she were her own and we couldn't be more grateful to have found her. Complete peace of mind while we were gone and she constantly kept us updated with photos and videos.”
“Allison was absolutely amazing. When I came home, I didn’t even know she was in my home. Everything was exactly the way I left it. She took very good care of my dog. She kept in contact with me and answered my text messages within 10 minutes. She even took the garbage out to the garage!! There was no dirty dishes, even in my dishwasher as I said it didn’t even look like she was here. There was no poop in my backyard. She’s amazing”
“Marti is such an excellent dog sitter and a truly nice person. Our dog is elderly, hard of hearing, visually impaired, and on a special low protein diet. Marti came to our home to care for Samson for 9 days, and care for him she did! She loved him like we do, making sure all his needs were met. She sent us lots of pictures throughout each day, and she let us know if she needed to leave him for even a couple hours. I recommend Marti without any reservations at all. She is the best!”
About: I have taken care of all sorts of household pets my entire life, i am a expert belly and chin scratcher, love going outdoors on walks or staying in to keep them company, and have extensive experience cleaning up all sorts of pet messes! I am visiting NY for two months to take care of my Aunt and wanted to do some pet sitting on the side to get out of the house and enjoy some sweet local animals! I care for animals based on your specific requests, whether that is coming by frequently for potty breaks, going on long walks, staying inside, or required brushing, I customize my care to your specific needs!
“Would absolutely recommend Forest as a sitter! Max was comfortable and happy while we were away. Max even followed him to the door while he was leaving, a little sad to see his new friend go!”
About: Growing up I was in charge of walking, feeding and bathing my Grandmas two dogs since she was no longer able to due to old age. I only work 9-5 most weekends, weekdays I’m typically off and have a very free schedule! I graduated May 2026 with a Masters in Social Work and plan to build a career in social work! I love to play fetch or any games your animal maylike. I can give baths and/or clean up the yard. I can spend quality time with your animals, cuddle with them or turn on their favorite song or show.
“Kara was amazing with our babies. I had not ever left them alone with anyone except family but they loved her! She kept me updated throughout my trip on how they were doing and sending photos. I would highly recommend her!!!”
“Haley is hands down, the absolute best, end of story! Our rescue pittie has been with us for about 8 months now and he's come a long way so we decided to see if we could entertain the idea of traveling a bit but know he was in the best care. Haley house sit for us as a trial overnight and our dog immediately took to her calm approach, energy and the care she took while initially meeting him and then as she house sit for us. Her attention to detail, not only to our care guide we put together and her own expertise, but the frequency she communicates, as well as the respect she has for our house and belongings, put us at ease we made the right decision. Can't recommend Haley enough and we are so thankful (and lucky) she is here for Rueben!”
“Belle did a great job caring for my 3 dogs while I was traveling for work. She was communicative and I returned to a house that looked exactly as I left it with 3 happy dogs. I highly recommend Belle!”
“Shelby was fantastic! This was mine and my husbands first experience using Rover and we were very impressed with how Shelby was attentive to our fur babies. She was great with providing updates as well as making sure that everything was well taken care of upon our return. We will be using her services again!”
“Rachel was a gift, I wish I found her sooner. From the meet & greet to the house sitting she was super easy to communicate with. Our dog loved her and followed her all over the house (sorry Rachel!). I would absolutely contact her again and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for some help.”
“Jonathan watched my dog Werewolf while I was away for four days. He cleaned up after two accidents in the house and took him for multiple walks per day. He kept me updated with tons of photos and took excellent care of him. I will definitely use him again.”
“Maddie was wonderful!! She stayed at my home with my 1 dog for 4 days with no issues and I felt comfortable having her here! She showed my dog so much love and care, provided me with updates, and asked permission for anything out of the usual. Will definitely be booking Maddie again and recommending her!!”
About: I’ve cared for dogs for many years growing up as I had family pets and other families pets. As a patient care assistant and nursing student, I’m attentive, responsible, and comfortable providing individualized care. I understand the importance of maintaining routines, ensuring pets feel safe and comfortable, and providing plenty of exercise, playtime, and affection. Whether your pet needs walks, feeding, companionship, or extra patience, I’ll treat them like family. I work part-time while attending school, which allows me flexibility for pet care. I make time each day for walks, feeding, playtime, and companionship. I communicate regularly with pet owners and can provide updates and photos so you can feel confident your pet is receiving excellent care while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I carefully follow feeding schedules, medication instructions, and any special care requests. I pay close attention to pets’ behavior and needs and strive to create a calm, positive environment. As someone with healthcare experience, I understand the importance of being observant, dependable, and prepared for unexpected situations.

FAQs for House Sitting - Pendleton
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 575 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Pendleton. 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 Pendleton 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 Pendleton 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 Pendleton 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.
