“Heather and Paul are so wonderful! They genuinely love animals. Caring for my animals seemed to fill their hearts and I was most comfortable knowing my cats were in good hands. Heather sent lots of pictures and I came home to happy kitties and a clean house!”
“We have a 14-year-old dog who needs to go out quite often, so finding someone reliable is really important to us. We met Abbey before booking her for a 3-night stay, and everything went smoothly from the start. She was right on time for the meet-and-greet and again when she arrived to watch our pup. During our trip, she sent a couple of photos and responded to any texts we sent, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. If you’re looking for someone who is easygoing and dependable, I’d absolutely recommend Abbey. I would happily hire her again.”
“Nick is great. Our two very active dogs love when he comes to stay. He is very active with them going on adventurous walks and we always get great pictures documenting all the fun they have. Nick is also a great house guest. Everything is great when he leaves. On his last visit one of our dogs had some tummy trouble, he took the time and care to bring over his carpet cleaner and clean it all up. I still can't tell where it was. Do not hesitate to have Nick come and stay, we have had him come many times and will continue. Thank you, Nick!”
“Kelly watched our 3 year old dog Margo the afternoon and evening of our wedding. She was friendly, communicative and trustworthy which allowed for us to have full confidence in her and enjoy our wedding without having to worry about Margo. Would absolutely recommend to anyone! Thanks again Kelly!”
About: A little bit of good company and care makes a world of difference in assuring a calm and relaxed dog. I'm here for you both. I care for animals professionally (mostly birds) and have a deep interest in animal behavior that I use all the time for clear, comfortable communication. I can easily deliver medications, and I am a skilled animal trainer. Thanks for your consideration. I’m working full time, Sunday through Thursday, so I treat your pets like my own and make sure to give them quality time before and after work. I want your pets to be able to keep their normal routines so they remain relaxed and confident. As near as I am able, I will keep your schedule for your animals.
About: I have cared for many different animals including cats and dogs, rats, horses, goats, alpacas, chickens, and cows. I’ve pet sat overnight, over extended periods of time, as well as for simple daily visits. I have a lot of experience taking care of special-needs animals, including caring for diabetic, blind, and three-legged dogs. I have volunteered at animal shelters for years and tended to dogs of many different temperaments. I have a sweet Ragdoll mixed cat who is the light of my life, and we both hope to someday have a dog in our home (he’s a very dog-savvy kitty). My love for animals led me to be a vegetarian for 12 years before transitioning to a full vegan. I love animals of all kind and I actively seek opportunities to spend time with them and care for them. I am very responsible and reliable, and I am committed to the wellbeing of these wonderful furry companions. I have a flexible schedule and particularly enjoy visits that can be morning and evening around daytime work. However, I can do visits that fall outside of that. It always brightens my day to have furry friends to tend to. I have a sweet dog-savvy cat at home, and I always lead with the animals individual comfort and specific needs in their home. This looks like asking their caretaker what they need, and ensuring that there’s a system in place in case questions come up. It also looks like getting to know the animals and paying careful attention to their physical and emotional well-being. For example, if feeding times are consistent, I will honor that as to minimize stress from a change in routines.
“What a pleasure to have such a great sitter for our two dogs. Both are giant breed and one is a 7 month old puppy! The dogs were happy and safe, the house and grounds were looking fabulous. We cannot thank her enough…She even sent text updates with photos. We are so pleased to have found her.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Roche Harbor on Rover is $26.75 per night (as of June 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

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 Roche Harbor 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 Roche Harbor 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 Roche Harbor 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.
