Megan took such good care of our two girlies. She checked in with us multiple times a day and kept us updated on her comings and going’s. We also got so many cute pictures- we could tell the girls were very happy and getting lots of attention. Will definitely rebook!

Katiana was absolutely amazing. I felt so confident and comfortable leaving my babies with her. She made great work at keeping me updated and caring for my pups with walks and treats and comfy time every day, with plenty of pics! House sitting by Katiana I would recommend over and over again. WONDERFUL SITTER!

Jenn was an absolutely phenomenal dog sitter for our two golden retrievers. Her attention and care for them was amazing, and her check ins with updates and pictures gave us total peace of mind while we were away. It was clear she truly cared about our dogs and treated them like her own. We couldn’t have asked for better care and would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone!!! I'd give her 6 stars if I could!

Megan was the best whole caring for our 3 animals. We have a high anxiety dog and she was able to make him feel at ease and relaxed while we were away. She was communicative, sending pictures and updates and answered any questions we had.

Ryenne was fantastic with my brood. I was a little nervous going into the sit since we had only had time to do a video call intro, but she more than exceeded my expectations and I had one of the most relaxing weekends away in years. truly. I didn’t have to worry about a thing plus…she washed the sheets so I didn’t come home to a pile of laundry. But the main thing is that my beasts were super well-cared for and happy. Thank you!!!!

About: Former mental-health professional who is happily shifting my career from mental health & behavioral health counseling to full-time animal care—because honestly, dogs have always been my favorite therapy clients! I fully understand fear, trauma, and behavior at a deep level. For years I have been the go to Foster for local rescues for complex medical and emotional needs dogs. For nearly 15 years I’ve volunteered and fostered with local rescues and shelters, helping many dogs find calm, confidence, and their forever homes. I hold canine CPR & first-aid certification, I have extensive training in dog behavior and positive-reinforcement techniques, and I’m currently studying for my CPDT-KA professional dog trainer certification. When your dog stays with me, they are literally the only guest in my home. They have full run of the house and fully fenced backyard, sleep wherever they feel most secure (many choose right in bed with me), and receive gentle, constant companionship in an ultra-low-stress environment. I work from home, have no children present, no other animals and I am the only person in my home. My fully fenced, spacious backyard gives them plenty of room to zoom, play, or just sunbathe while I’m never more than a room away. Canine CPR certified and comfortable with injections, fluids, seizure meds, tubes — whatever your dog needs. No kids, no pets, no chaos—just peace and snuggles Your dog lives like family: free roam, couch cuddles, my bed if wanted, constant company, daily yard play, fresh meals, meds, love—never crated or alone.

We couldn't have asked for a better experience with Kevin! He took fantastic care of our two very different family members—our quiet cat and our high-energy Dutch Shepherd puppy. From the start, Kevin was incredibly communicative, providing regular updates and photos that gave us complete peace of mind. He was clearly very thorough, making sure all instructions were followed perfectly and giving the puppy plenty of exercise and training reinforcement. Most importantly, he was deeply caring; both animals clearly bonded with him quickly and were happy and relaxed when we returned. We wholeheartedly recommend Kevin to anyone needing reliable and attentive pet care, and we would welcome him back anytime!

Our pets seem to keep looking around the house and the yard - as if searching for something- we think they keep looking for Jerry and we have been home now for two days! They love him!!! He left the house and yard in great shape after his 5day house sitting for our 2 large dogs and 3 cats. Excellent communication and quick responses as usual. Once again Jerry thank you for keeping our house and four legged family safe and happy while we were away. YOU made our Holiday perfect! Thank you again.

About: I have taken care of numerous pets and animals since I was a kid, from dog sitting for family friends and neighbors to extended house stays. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give pets plenty of attention throughout the day. Pets in my care get regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, and lots of supervision. I make sure they’re not left alone for long periods and can adjust my routine to fit your pet’s needs. I provide a safe, clean, and loving environment where pets are always supervised. I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding, walks, and any special care instructions. My home is pet-friendly, and I make sure all animals feel comfortable and secure. I’m attentive to behavior and health, and I’ll keep you updated with messages and photos so you can feel confident your pet is in good hands.

About: Hi there! I grew up with dogs and for the last nine years, have been a mom to my beloved chiweenie named Fynn. Friends, family members, and clients trust me with their dogs, for both short and long term stays, and I’d love to care for your pup. Fynn is very active, so we do at least two long walks a day. I live in the North End, so frequently walk in Puget Park and am always happy to take pups to Point Defiance depending on exercise needs. Of course, if your dog needs more rest, I’ll take that into account as well. I have experience caring for senior dogs and administering medication. I am in academia and currently on my summer break, so I’m home most of the time. Your dog will rarely be alone. Please reach out! Can’t wait to hang with your pup! I work from home and have a flexible schedule. I am free on weekdays and weekends as needed, and am available for both shorter and longer term stays. I live in an apartment but take frequent dog walks and bathroom breaks as needed. I have a nine-year-old chiweenie named Fynn who loves other dogs and will be a great buddy to your pup. I’m close to parks and Point Defiance so your dog will get plenty of exercise!

About: Dogs have been a huge part of my life for over 12 years. I have cared for two wonderful dogs of my own—a small dog named Gunner and a Chocolate Lab named Jeter—which has given me experience with dogs of different sizes, personalities, and energy levels. Through caring for my own pets, I’ve become comfortable with daily walks, feeding schedules, administering basic medications, playtime, grooming, and providing lots of love and attention. As a pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to find someone you trust with your furry family member. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, loved, and cared for while you’re away. I work from home full-time, which gives me a very flexible schedule and allows me to provide plenty of attention, companionship, and care throughout the day. Whether your pet needs playtime, walks, potty breaks, medication, or simply someone nearby to keep them company, I can be there. For house sitting, I can bring my work setup with me so your pet can stay comfortable in their familiar environment while still receiving lots of love and attention. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. Because I work from home, I’m able to spend more quality time with pets throughout the day, providing regular walks, playtime, cuddles, potty breaks, and plenty of supervision. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and needs so they can feel as comfortable as possible while you’re away. Whether your pet is energetic and loves adventure or prefers a calm companion to relax with, I’ll make sure they receive attentive, loving care and lots of affection. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy and well cared for.

About: Recently retired professional. I’ve provided a warm & loving home my entire life for our many pets - lap dogs and hunting dogs alike. When you are away, you don’t want to worry about your fur babies. I know all too well the pain of losing a pet in the hands of an inexperienced or irresponsible care taker. I’m dependable, caring and trust worthy. I offer peace of mind for you and in return a few extra bucks for me to supplement retirement. Safe/Secure pet care and house sitting. My schedule is flexible; especially with advance notice. Whether it’s walks and potty breaks or overnight sitting I can usually accommodate any schedule, including the holidays. Although typically we will not board at our home, on occasion we’ll make exceptions depending on the breed and temperament. We have two Shih Tzu’s that are extremely playful and nice with other pets. In your home, I will take care of your pets as you would.

Alexa was so great with our two labs. She took great care of them including giving them ear drops daily. Alexa was great at communicating and sending updates on our pups. She left our house immaculate. We highly recommend Alexa and will definitely use her again.

Cambria did a super job with our pets. The day before we left one dog ended up in Urget Care after ingesting bones and having tarry black poop. We had a specific care plan for him and frankly Cambria is the ONLY sitter I would have felt safe leaving him with! “No problem” she said, “I’ve got this!” After we talked about it. He recovered and she sent me very specific updates about his condition. She always sends lots of pictures and takes our younger dog on some very long walks to keep her happy. Plus she leaves the house in better shape than anyone ever does. Everything nest, tidy, folded, and the little welcome home bouquet was so special. She is the best pet/house sitter ever. Thank you Cambria for the peace of mind you gave us.

Kristen is beyond wonderful. She not only feeds and medicates kitties, but she goes out of her way to play and spend time with them. Kristen cleans and vacuums as well. She sends daily pictures, videos and updates. My husband and I feel completely at ease leaving our fur babies in her care. We have hired her numerous times and will continue to do so.

FAQs for House Sitting - Rosedale

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for House Sitting in Rosedale on Rover is $55.5 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 6,895 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Rosedale. 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 Rosedale 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 Rosedale 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 Rosedale 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 Rosedale. On Rover:

  • 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% 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.
