“Rachel is amazing. She went above and beyond to help me in a bind and she was able to adjust seamlessly to what was needed to keep my cats safe and happy. Rachel really has a great feel with animals. Her communication was impeccable and I will definitely be rebooking her for my future catsitting needs.”

“Pazia did a great job house sitting for two nights; when I came home my house was clean and my cat was happy! Pazia is also very quick to respond and sends great pictures. My cat takes oral medications and Pazia always lets me know if there are any concerns. I would definitely recommend their services.”

About: What sets me apart is that I’m reliable, flexible, and focused on making pets feel comfortable and cared for in their own home. I understand that every pet has a different personality and routine, so I take the time to adjust my care to fit their specific needs. I’m patient, attentive, and make sure pets get plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship while their owners are away. I’m also comfortable caring for pets with different energy levels and needs, including puppies who need consistency and supervision, as well as senior pets who may require a calmer environment, extra patience, or medication reminders. I make communication a priority by providing regular updates and photos so owners can feel reassured and connected to their pets at all times. I’m a flexible college student balancing classes, studying, and a part-time job. My schedule changes often, so I’ve learned how to adapt quickly and stay organized while managing school, work, and personal time. Some days are packed with assignments and shifts, while others are more open, which helps me stay balanced and avoid burnout. Even with a busy routine, I make time to stay productive, meet deadlines, and keep up with responsibilities while still having flexibility in my day-to-day life. I care for pets in a client’s home by following their usual routine to help the pet feel comfortable and reduce stress while their owner is away. This includes feeding, refreshing water, walks, playtime, cleaning up after the pet, and giving lots of attention and companionship. I also follow any specific instructions regarding medications, training, exercise, or special care needs. I respect the client’s home by keeping things clean, secure, and organized during each visit. I also provide updates and photos when requested so owners can feel confident that their pets are safe, happy, and well cared for.
“Becky did great with our highly reactive/protective Decker Rat Terriers. I was super anxious that all Cooper would do is freak out and bark at her for the entire four days we were gone and she was house sitting for us. He was all calmed down in a couple hours and was totally normal and sleeping with his head in her lap by the end of the first day. House was clean and she brought my very heavy UPS delivery up to the house, which I didn't expect at all. Highly recommend!”

“Ruby stayed in my home while I was out of town for work. She took amazing care of my pups, python, and plants while I was away! Came home to a clean house and happy critters, will definitely book with her again!”

“Erika was fantastic! She was really good about getting to know us and our pets and their needs. She handled all the details very well including pet medicines. She was a great communicator and the pets loved her! Will hire again, for sure.”
“laurin took great care of my dogs - two senior pups. she made sure special instructions were followed and ensured there were frequent checkins. great communication and left home clean. pups were very loved with laurin!”

About: I've cared for people's dogs, cats, fish and homes for a couple of years in the Lacey, WA area. I work remotely so most days I can be with your pets all day and I have stayed in homes for up to two weeks. I love animals and will play with your furry family members, take them for walks, give them medicine and stick to the routines you have established. I love gardening and am happy to water plants while you are away. I work remotely so as long as you have wifi, I can stay with your pet(s) during the day! I can stay with your pets any day/night of the week. I will follow your routine, take your pets for a pup cup if allowed, or just hang out and play and snuggle in your home. I work remotely so I can easily take your dog(s) for walks or play fetch in the yard on breaks. I am comfortable giving injections and other meds if required. Of you need me to take out garbage bins or water plants, I am happy to do that as well. I will leave your home just as I found it, ready for your arrival.
About: As an experienced dog sitter, I go beyond basic care by truly understanding each dog’s unique personality and needs. I have a natural ability to read their body language and adapt to their moods, ensuring they feel comfortable, happy, and secure while you’re away. Whether it’s administering medications, following specific dietary plans, or providing enriching playtime and walks, I tailor my approach to each dog’s routine. My calm and attentive demeanor helps even the most anxious dogs feel at ease, and I maintain clear communication with pet owners for peace of mind. Having cared for my own senior Pomeranian, Zeus, until he was 14, I am particularly attuned to the special needs of older dogs, including administering medications and adjusting routines for their comfort. I currently have an year and a half year old Yellow Labrador Retriever named cooper, so well experienced with puppies I’m currently home full-time, so I have a very flexible schedule and can give your pets lots of attention throughout the day. Whether your dog needs frequent potty breaks, long walks, playtime, feeding schedules, medication, or just extra cuddles and companionship, I’m able to be there consistently. I love getting outside for walks and making sure dogs stay mentally and physically happy while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I treat every animal like they’re my own and take the time to learn their routine, personality, and needs. I’m experienced with dogs of different ages, energy levels, and temperaments, including senior dogs and puppies. I always keep a close eye during walks, potty breaks, feeding, and playtime to make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in a calm environment.

“Fawn is by far the best house and dog sitter we’ve ever had! We highly recommend her services and will absolutely be using her again and again. Our boys adored her, and we loved the updates and pictures she sent throughout the day. Thank you again, Fawn, for taking such great care of our pups and our home!”

“Simonne is the best!!! She did an outstanding job with our two dogs!! They both warmed up to her immediately. She kept us updated with pictures and treated them like they were her own.

“Olivia and Tyler were amazing! Last minute booking for a family emergency and they helped make it stress-free. Came back to a clean house and a happy dog, we will definitely be repeat customers of Olivia and Tyler!”


“Rebekah was super pleasant, flexible and competent. Our critters were well cared for and we were able to leave them in her care with no worries. I’d gladly rebook her!”


About: When I was little and people asked what I wanted to be when I grew up, I always said 'dog walker' — and now I finally get to live that dream! This summer I have plenty of time to dedicate to caring for your pets. I have experience with both small and large dogs, as well as cats, and I treat every animal like my own.

“She took great care of our dogs and home while we were away. She kept us updated, followed instructions, and made sure the pups were comfortable and well cared for. It gave us peace of mind knowing they were in good hands. We came home to happy, relaxed dogs and everything in great shape. Thank you, for helping make our trip much less stressful!

FAQs for House Sitting - Plumb
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Plumb on Rover is $38.85 per night (as of June 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 June 2026, there are 1,360 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Plumb. 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 Plumb 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 Plumb 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 Plumb 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.
