“We couldn’t be happier with the care Destiny provided for our Goldendoodle and three cats while house-sitting for us last week! From the very beginning, she was incredibly communicative, keeping us updated throughout her stay and sending plenty of photos of our furry family members. What truly set Destiny apart was her attention to detail and willingness to go above and beyond. She not only kept our pets happy and well-cared for but also helped put away their frozen food delivery and even made a trip to the store to pick up extra paper plates for feeding the cats. When we returned, our home was spotless, and it was clear that Destiny had taken great care to leave everything in perfect order. We are so grateful for her kindness, reliability, and thoughtfulness, and we’re excited to use her services for all our future house-sitting and pet-watching needs. Thank you, Destiny—you’re amazing!”
“Anthea took such wonderful care of my dogs, and of my home! She went above and beyond to care for my two older dogs, making sure they got lots of walks and took their medication, just to name a few things. I swear my house was cleaner coming home than when I left it; completely unnecessary, but so so appreciated after a long trip. My partner and I particularly loved the nightly updates complete with notes from the day and lots of pictures. We’ve had a couple terrible experiences leaving our pets in the past, but Anthea was so on top of everything we really were able to relax while we were away. Thank you again!!”
“Great care for our higher needs anxious dog. Heelers have their own personality and it seems like they handled her great ! Lots of communication and pictures.”
“Stacey was the absolute best!! In addition to taking wonderful care of my fur babies, she did extra house chores to help out. Her communication was excellent and we will absolutely use her again.”
About: I'm a mom to two cats, Schneider and Stormy, and I'm just as at home with dogs. I've cared for pups of all sizes and energy levels, from leash-pullers to couch potatoes. I work freelance, so my schedule is flexible and I'm never rushing out the door. Beyond the basics (food, water, walks, meds exactly as you like them), I always set aside time to just play with your pet. Every furry cuties I get to meet feels like a little stroke of luck, and I want them to have a genuinely fun time with me. I'm also into journaling and photography. I'm a bit obsessed with catching cute pet moments on camera, so fair warning: you might get a LOT of photos. Hope you don't mind! 😉 I work freelance, so my schedule is pretty flexible on both weekdays and weekends. I'm not squeezing your pet in between other commitments, so I can show up on time, stay a bit longer, and actually hang out instead of rushing off. Just let me know what works for you! Currently I only do drop-in visits, so your pet gets to stay in their own comfy space. I'll follow your routine, and after each visit I'll log what I did and how your pet was doing: meals, potty, playtime, and their energy level. Safety-wise, doors stay locked, windows and gates get double-checked, and leashes are always on for walks. I'll keep your vet and emergency contacts handy, and if anything seems off, you'll hear from me right away.
About: Hi I’m Jenny, and I provide reliable walks, drop-in visits, boarding and day care for your furry family. With over three years of pet care experience, I have cared for dogs and cats of various ages, breeds, and temperaments through drop-in visits, boarding, doggy daycare, and walks. My experience includes feeding, exercise, administering basic medications, maintaining routines, providing companionship, and ensuring pets feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I work from home providing pet care through any means necessary or needed for you and your furry family. Im happy and eager to accommodate and work with your schedule and needs. Your pet’s safety and well-being are my top priorities. During visits and boarding, I closely supervise pets and provide a calm, loving environment. Building trust is important to me, both with pets and their owners. I take the time to get to know each pet, allowing them to adjust at their own pace and creating positive experiences through patience, consistency, and gentle care. I also keep owners informed with regular updates and photos, providing peace of mind while they’re away. My goal is to create a loving, dependable environment where every pet feels safe, cared for, and treated like family.

About: Residing in Mill Plain, East Vancouver WA!

I am a big dog lover, consistent with routine and training, and capable of handling pups of any size. I am a former D1 athlete with a big heart and plenty of time and energy, pups of all sizes welcome! I work for myself and remotely, so I have all the time to spoil my pup Louie and yours!

About: Hi, I’m Talena! I've always had a natural passion for dog handling and consider myself an amateur dog trainer. I use positive reinforcement techniques to keep dogs engaged, happy, and safe. Whether your little one needs a high-energy playtime or structured guidance, I'd love to provide the dedicated care they deserve! I work at a local credit union, which provides me with a highly stable and structured schedule. This flexibility allows me to easily commute to your home and dedicate plenty of quality time to caring for, feeding, and playing with your pets in their own comfortable environment. When caring for pets in a client's home, I strictly follow their established routines, secure all entry points, double-check leashes during walks, and keep harmful items completely out of reach to ensure a safe, stress-free environment.
About: As a veterinary assistant, I have hands-on experience providing safe, compassionate care for animals of all personalities. Apart from my professional experience, I also have personal experience dealing with my own dogs big personality. My dog Leo, a Parson Terrier/Cattle Dog mix, has taught me how to read body language, respect boundaries, and understand that every dog has their own needs. I currently work full time - 8am to 5pm, Monday through Friday. That means I’m free for drop ins and walks in the evenings during the week, and all day on the weekend. House sitting is available any day of the week with the understanding that I will be gone for 10 hours during week days for work. Safety while entering and exiting your house will be a top priority for me, as this is the most high risk moment for pets to escape. If I’m walking your dog, it is my preference and recommendation that your dog have two leashes on at all times.
“Our family needed Jacob during a very difficult time. Jacob was kind, prompt, and immediately hit it off with our girls (Bear and Tookie). He was available to provide last minute care for our fur babies and sent updates daily on their well-being. We will definitely utilize Jacob‘s services in the future. He comes highly recommended by all our family members!”
“Fantastic sitter, my dogs immediately loved her and she took excellent care of them and our home. Our dogs have high needs, pill regimens, and are aggressive towards other dogs and she handled all of it so well!”
About: I’ve had pets of all kinds including dogs, cats, reptiles, small animals, birds, and invertebrates. I’ve also worked at a pet store for the last year and a half so I have some knowledge on freshwater fish as well as experience administering medications to animals. I’m currently only working part time, about 12-18 hours a week, so I have more than enough time to check on and play with your pets! I’m super flexible and want to do anything I can to make sure your pets are as comfortable and happy as they possibly can be while their humans aren’t home!
“Mary house sat for us and took care of our two pitbulls while we were on vacation! The house was in great condition when we got home and she sent photos of the dogs while we were away. I would book with her again!”
About: I have always had animals in my life; from cats, dogs, fish, hamsters, ferrets, the list goes on. My love for animals is immeasurable and I love spending my time helping others in need and getting to spend time with their fur babies. I’ve been watching friends’, family, and even co-workers’ animals for over 10 years. I am currently traveling with my husband while he works so I have plenty of free time in our new apartment in Camas, WA. We stay in a safe location and have ample space for nice, long walks as well as plenty of toys to keep your pup entertained! Just outside of our two bedroom apartment, I have a grassed area where my dogs love playing and enjoying the outdoors. My dogs love having friends over to run around and play with.
“Kylie did an amazing job watching my girls!! She took good care of them and provided me with updates whenever I wanted and checked in with me on her own (including sending photos). She left my house immaculate (especially being here 2 weeks) and she is incredibly kind and thoughtful! I highly recommend her for others looking for a pet sitter and will definitely request her when I need a pet sitter in the future!”

Mya was great and my dogs love her! Both are my dogs are reactive and she knew just how to take care of them. Great communicator and kept me informed with pictures and feedback at just the right amount. She left my house spotless and I can’t recommend her enough to anyone who wants their animals given lots of love.
Shani was exceptional with her communication and asked me questions whenever she needed clarification or additional details. Shani was proactive in reviewing the instructions I sent ahead of time. Shani stayed at my house for 4 days with my 12-week-old puppy and we all know a puppy can be a lot of work! I arrived home to a happy puppy and my house was spotless. Shani cleaned up every poo and put everything away exactly how it was, she wiped paws so the puppy wasn't dragging in extra dirt. It was so nice to come home and know my puppy was taken care of the way I would. Shani sent pictures throughout the time and was very responsive if I checked in. I would highly recommend her!
Brooklyn took care of our older Aussie and home while we were gone overnight. She was very conscientious and attentive, keeping us updated with messages and photos. She also left our home in perfect condition. We came home to a happy dog and feel confident she received excellent care while we were gone. We recommend Brooklyn to anyone looking for a caring and reliable sitter.
Amanda was great with our dog, Stella. We had been gone a few days and we returned home to a happy and tired dog. Amanda communicated well, walked Stella, took care of her needs and took care of our house. We 100% would use her again and recommend her to others.
Amy was quick to respond to our request to watch our puppy Jazzy. She met us the day prior for a meet and greet. Jazzy immediately took to her. Amy is a lovely person and loves animals. She asked us important questions regarding care. The day of she arrived early and already had an idea where to take Jazzy for her walk. We appreciated her checking in our birds as well. As a sitter she went above and beyond for caring for Jazzy and our 2 parakeets. We appreciated her helping us on such short notice. She provided care amazingly, gave us plenty of updates throughout the day with photos, and asked us for any additional direction. We would happily request Amy again to watch Jazzy!
Chelsea is a great caretaker for our dog. She helped us while we were away to be with family and followed all the special instructions we have for our older dog. She even asked about our plants, she is a really sweet person and will be really sweet to your pets as well!
The most exceptional sitter, communicator, and wealth of great doggy resources. Thank you Christine for always taking such good care of our pup, AND our home. We always know our guy is in the best of hands when we’re gone, and appreciate your communication and commitment to his care. Thank you!!
Madeline was amazing! We had her scheduled for a weekend trip and then a week before our dog had emergency surgery so we were nervous to leave. When I reached out to discuss the new situation Madeline was confident and compassionate and I felt relieved to be able to leave with her in charge. She was communicative and helpful when our poor girl started having complications. It is stressful to leave your dog after such a big event but Madeline made it easy. We will definitely use her in the future and recommend her to anyone looking for a someone to care for their animals.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Proebstel is $56 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 and $97 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 4,435 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Proebstel. 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 Proebstel 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 Proebstel 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 Proebstel 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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.

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.
