“Ryan has walked our dog a few times, and this was the first house-sitting we had her do for us. She did an amazing job taking care of Toby. We received lots of very cute pictures and ample communication so we felt confident he was being well cared for. Upon arrival back home, we found a clean house and a very spoiled and happy dog. Just as things should be. We feel very fortunate to have found Ryan, and have several future trips booked with her already!”
“Hannah took our little Dr. Zeus to work for a few days, much to tge joy of a few co-workers, and Dr. Zeus. She takes great care of him, and he is always delighted to see her, and she him!”
“Melissa is an angel! She stayed with our dog for a weekend when we had just moved in and our furniture had not yet arrived. Plus we had a terrible wind storm and lost power. So she was in a dark, cold house with no furniture and made it work with a positive, upbeat attitude. Truly an awesome human being. She regularly communicated and put us at ease. Cannot recommend her enough!!”
“Erica is fantastic. She sent lots of pictures of Tipsy playing and stayed in contact. I never worried. I would definitely book Erica again to stay in my home and take care of my fur babies!!”
“Jacob watched our dog and cat in our home for nine days while we were out of town. He took excellent care of them and had great communication! Our cat was accidentally shut inside a locked room when we left (oops!) and Jacob went out of his way to get her out. We came home to two happy, well cared for animals and a clean house. A+!”
“Alisha is the real deal. We came home to a spotless house, happy pets, and zero stress. Which, if you knew our crew, is saying something. We have a senior dog on seizure medication, three cats, a duck, five chickens, and fish. Alisha handled all of it without missing a beat. She sent photos throughout the stay, responded quickly every time we reached out, and brought such positive energy to everything. Our dog Seca, who can be particular, clearly loved her. The chickens were tucked in every night. The house actually looked better than when we left. If you want someone who treats your home and animals like they're her own, book Alisha. We already plan to. Highest possible recommendation.”
“Jessica did an amazing job caring for our two cats (who are very high maintenance) and watching our home while we were away for a week. Our house was even cleaner than we had left it and our cats were very content and not fussy like they usually are when we get home from a trip. Thanks! We will be booking with you again!”
“Sheelagh was amazing with my two cats! They loved playing with her. Even my shy cat warmed up to her instantly. She kept communication consistent so I felt in the loop while I was away.”
“Wow! Pamela did an amazing job watching our pups’ over a long weekend; regular check-ins, lots of exercise, and plenty of TLC! We would gladly have her back and would highly recommend her 10/10 👏”
“Eunice did such a wonderful job with watching my buddy! She was very responsive, kind, and accommodating to my dogs needs and my travel plans. She was great at sending pics throughout the stay, took him on walks daily, and left my house spotless!! Would 10/10 recommend and hope to use Eunice again in the future!”
“Jaylin & Isaiah were great from the start. They asked great questions during our meet & greet, and also took amazing care of our two pups. I could tell our pups were sad when we left, but they looked very happy and at ease in the photos updates sent. I would definitely book with them again!”
“She is wonderful house and dog sitter, and I knew that all went well for them Topher had some fun adventures and our house was well cared for. We appreciate her so much.”
“Thank you Audrey for a great stay. We have a puppy “teenager” who needs a lot of love, attention and a watchful eye. Audrey stayed at the house, did a great job with him and took good care of our home as well.”
“Kate did such a fantastic job taking care of our home and our two precious pups! We have high energy dogs that need a lot of exercise and she sent us so many photos every day of all the adventures they went on, and then photos of the pups relaxing happily worn out on the couch back home. I felt 100% comfortable and confident with Kate taking care of our pets and our home, which was tidy and clean when we returned. Thanks so much, Kate! Our pups already miss you!”
“Sophia was an absolutely excellent pet sitter. My dog Brodie can be picky and needs a lot of care and he loves her. She is very communicative and treated my space with the utmost respect. Would certainly work with her again!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Port Blakely
Sheelagh was great to work with! The dogs love her and she was very communicative! She kept me posted on how the dogs were doing through both pictures and texts, which was very much appreciated! I would highly recommend Sheelagh and will definitely be a repeat client!
Ryan has a wonderfully calming and capable presence which our whole family (pets and people) appreciate. Our friendly cat and boisterous teen puppy love spending time with Ryan and we appreciate receiving Ryan’s beautiful photos and frequent updates when we are out of town.
Pamela was wonderful with our pup "Rio!" He's normally a bit shy at first meetings but he took to her almost immediately. She was great at giving us daily photos, updates and even a lovely written "Rio Report" at the end of her stay. We had to reschedule our flight and Pamela was very accommodating when we had to return for one of the nights she was scheduled to stay over. Both times we arrived home to a very happy hound and tidy hearth.
Miranda is amazing!! She stayed at our house and with our dog Kiwi for 4 days. Kiwi loved her and when we arrived home, our house was immaculately clean. I could tell as soon as I met Miranda, that Kiwi would be in excellent caring hands. I would highly recommend Miranda and will definitely book her again.
Mel and Kelly are the best! They are responsible and conscientious, and they clearly spent lots of time doting on our very spoiled kitty. Zoya seemed to really enjoy having their company, and was entirely comfortable with them from the start. We feel very fortunate to have found Kelly and Mel, and I highly recommend them!
We are so happy we found Leslie! Our dogs are super sweet but nervous with new people so tend to hide and be scared. Not with Leslie! They warmed up to her so quickly and were snuggling away the entire weekend. She has a natural calm demeanor with dogs and totally respects and reads their needs. She sent photos, communicated quickly, and left our house cleaner than it was. Couldn't be happier, when normally it can be quite stressful to leave them. Thank you Leslie!

FAQs for House Sitting - Port Blakely
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Port Blakely on Rover is $44.4 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 7,991 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Port Blakely. 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 Port Blakely 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 Port Blakely 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 Port Blakely 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.

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.
