Jeffrey did a great job! I received updates with photos everyday and he provided a checklist of Dobie's "accomplishments" when I got home. I hope to have Jeffrey sit for Dobie again in the future. I highly recommend him.

George did a fine job off keeping our dog safe and content. I think they got along well. I felt comfortable having George stay here at our house, and expect to have him here again for our next outing.

Alyssa stayed the weekend with my labs at my house and I am so grateful for her help and respect of my home/schedule with the labs. She sent some pics to update me on the pups and was a great communicator. Came home to a house as clean as I left it and very happy labs. Would definitely recommend!

Abby was responsible and trustworthy. She took good care of our young and energetic dog, taking her on walks and play dates with other dogs. We arrived home from a week out of town and the house and yard had been well cared for. I would recommend her and would be happy to employ her again down the road.

About: Since childhood I have been around dogs and have developed a passion for caring for and bonding with them. I have raised two dogs of my own from puppy-hood, one of whom is now a senior dog who requires a little extra care. I love dogs of all shapes and sizes and when I am pet-sitting, I treat them with the same attention and care as if they were my own. I have a passion for bonding with animals and making them feel seen and comfortable. I have experience administering medicine and have mitigated many situations with potentially aggressive dogs. In the course of my career I have encountered many different dogs on different properties and always make it a priority to visit with them (if they allow it) and make them feel comfortable and non-threatened. I am a full-time student, but with half of my classes being online, I have room to focus on pet-sitting. Animals are my passion and I will make sure that your pets are a priority. I will ensure that ample time and attention is given to your fur babies. I seek to get as much information as possible about the best way to care for your pets so thet I can care for them properly. I offer drop-in care and house-sitting care, all of which is dependent on your needs and comfort level. As I am a guest in you and your pets' space, I ensure that your pets feel safe and have ample time to focus on walks or other activities.

Emma was great with my dog, she arose to the occasion when I asked her to add two extra days last minute. She was able to follow written instructions and also figure things out on her own. Emma stayed in touch with us and responded quickly when we reached out. Hope needs some meds and extra care and I felt she was safe with Emma. She took great care of our home too, going above and beyond by washing the sheets and remaking the bed. I highly recommend.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs for friends, family, and clients for the last decade.

As a college student entering summer time, I have a lot of open availability to hang with your best furry friends! Pet care is an easy fit as I have a hybrid job with extremely flexible hours. I am free throughout the week as well as most weekends! I really do love hanging out with animals, so they receive my full attention!! Safety is a huge priority to having fun and spending time with them, so I remain extremely attentive to make sure they get the best safe care they can!

About: I’ve lived with animals my whole life. My father is a veterinarian and runs a vet clinic, and we’ve had animals in the house since I was born, so I’ve had plenty of experience taking care of dogs and cats since I was a kid. I’ve learned how to look after animals from taking care of my family’s and friend’s pets, and I have a veterinarian on call if anything were to go wrong. :) I am currently in the process of looking for a full-time or part-time job, so for the time being I am very available to watch after and take care of your pet. I will take care to listen to any and all specific care instructions you may have for your pet. I love playing with animals and taking them for walks, so if you have an active pet I will be happy to engage with them. My father is also a practicing veterinarian, so if anything were to go wrong I can call him to help sort out what to do.

About: Hi! My name is Grace, and I have over 5 years of experience as a pet sitter caring for cats and dogs. I was a pet owner for over fifteen years and understand the importance of quality, reliable pet care and wanting the best for your furry babies. In the range of care, I have done it all! Walking excited jumpers, tricky and picky feeding schedules, convincing discerning doggies to take their medication, litter training cutie kittens, and building trust in nervous new friends. I am a substitute teacher and off for the summer. I am looking for part-time work, and I have a flexible, mostly free schedule. I can drop in a few times a day or look after your pet overnight. Every pet has different needs. I rely on owners to guide my care routine and make sure I take the time to observe and adjust my plan.

Teri was a very reliable dog sitter. She followed our directions and took necessary precautions with our anxious and reactive dog. She sent daily updates with pictures of the pups. I would recommend Teri to anyone looking for a dog sitter! Pups seemed happy when we returned home and the house was left clean.

About: I'm a lifelong dog lover with hands-on experience caring for my own two dogs, which has taught me the importance of patience, consistency, and understanding each dog's unique personality. With my second dog especially, I took an active role in training and behavior development, learning how to use positive reinforcement and establish routines that help dogs feel secure and happy. I regularly help friends by providing midday potty breaks and companionship for their dogs when they're at work or traveling. This has given me experience with different breeds, temperaments, and household routines. I understand how important it is to follow each pet's specific schedule, respect house rules, and provide the attention and exercise they're used to. I know that every dog is different - some need lots of playtime and stimulation, while others prefer quiet companionship. I'm comfortable with basic commands, can recognize signs of stress or discomfort, and always prioritize the pet's safety and well-being above all else. I currently work part-time, which gives me excellent flexibility for pet care services. I'm available every weekday after 3pm and have full availability on weekends. This schedule works perfectly for dog walks, evening pet visits, and weekend pet sitting when families are traveling. My part-time work arrangement means I can be consistent and reliable with your pet's routine. Whether you need daily walks, midday check-ins, or weekend care, I can accommodate regular schedules and provide the consistency that pets thrive on. I'm also available for last-minute requests when my schedule allows. I understand that pets need care even when their families are working full days, and my afternoon and weekend availability is ideal for busy pet parents who want to ensure their furry family members get attention and exercise while they're away. During pet check-ins, I focus on making sure each animal gets the individual attention and care they need. I always let dogs spend as much time outside as they want - whether that's a quick potty break or a longer play session in the yard. I pay attention to their energy level and preferences that day. I believe quality time is just as important as meeting basic needs, so I make sure to engage with each pet through play, cuddles, or simply keeping them company. For more active dogs, I'm happy to take them on short walks during my visit to give them extra exercise and mental stimulation. I follow the specific instructions and routines that pet parents provide, but I also adapt to what the pet seems to need in the moment. Some days they might want to play fetch, other days they just want someone to sit with them. I always make sure they have fresh water, food if needed, and that they seem comfortable and content before I leave. I provide updates to pet parents so they know how their furry family member is doing, including any highlights from our time together.

About: Hi! My name is Charlotte. I’ve spent years looking after neighbors’ dogs and cats, and caring for pets has honestly always been something I naturally gravitated toward. I have experience with all kinds of dogs — young puppies, senior dogs, huge breeds, tiny breeds, high-energy dogs, shy dogs, trained dogs, and dogs that still need a little patience and structure. I’m comfortable adapting to different personalities, routines, and needs because I understand every pet is different. I also love volunteering at my local humane shelter, which has given me even more hands-on experience working with a wide variety of dogs and temperaments. It’s something I genuinely enjoy because I love getting to know animals and making them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. Whether your pet needs long walks, playtime, cuddles, medication, patience, or just someone reliable to keep them company, I’m happy to help. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, so I always try to provide the same level of care and attention I’d want for my own animals. I’m dependable, attentive, and genuinely passionate about animals, and I’d love the opportunity to care for your pets while you’re away! My schedule is very flexible, especially outside of classes since school is my main priority as an almost second-year student at Oregon State. I have reliable transportation, so I’m able to travel easily for drop-ins, walks, overnight stays, and pet care throughout the week. I care for pets and clients’ homes with a lot of respect, responsibility, and attention to detail. I always clean up after myself, follow instructions carefully, and make sure pets feel safe and comfortable in their familiar environment. I believe mutual trust and respect are extremely important when caring for someone’s home and animals.

About: I have had multiple pets throughout my entire life, I have been pet sitting for the last 5 years. I have cared for dogs of all sizes. Family, friends and neighbors have asked me to bathe, walk, medicate and feed their pets. I am comfortable with any breed or size dog or cat. Pet care is my full time job along with landscaping so I typically go house to house during my day either walking or checking in on pets I treat every pet as if they were my own, if the client allows their animal on the couch, I have no problem snuggling up on the couch with their pet. I always give constant attention and play with cats or dogs as much as they'd like. I think its important to have a good day of play in order for them to get a nice rest at the end of the day.

Brooke is amazing! My pup has been having bad fear and anxiety of strangers and Brooke handled her amazingly, my dog warmed up to her faster than I have seen her do. My dog was not as anxious as she has been when I have come home after leaving her for a bit. Will definitely use her in the future. Thank you again Brooke!

Elaina did a fantastic job of pet sitting our labradoodle Teddy. Elaina made an extra effort to quickly create a bond with Teddy so that he was relaxed and happy. Elaina took Teddy on his twice daily walks and ball chasing around our property and the pictures she shared showed he was having fun (even in the rain). Upon our return the house was perfect and Elaina even had taken the towels/sheets she used to our laundry room! We will definitely book Elaina again for future pet sitting.

FAQs for House Sitting - Philomath

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for House Sitting in Philomath on Rover is $38.85 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 507 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Philomath. 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 Philomath 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 Philomath 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 Philomath 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Philomath. On Rover:

  • 97% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 94% can help with daily exercise

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.
