About: I am a mature, reliable, healthy, energetic woman that has owned homes in the US and Canada for 40 years. I have had many dogs and cats, most often large dogs. I want to house/pet sit throughout the US so I will be able to get to know different regions during my retirement. I am fully Covid vaccinated. While I am retired, I continue to volunteer a lot for my church and several local organizations. While pet sitting, I usually do quilting projects in the morning, explore in the afternoons and knit while watching TV in the evenings. I usually care for pets in their own home. I believe this is the least stressful for the pets and my clients say I give them peace of mind while they travel.

“Stephanie took great care of our house, 2 dogs and cat. We had a little lack of communication the first night, but after I clarified that I like more communication than too little she made sure to send tons of pictures and check ins that everything was going well at home. It was our first trip away from home with our newborn so it was lovely to have someone so caring staying with our pets. We came back to our house looking just as we had left it and our animals were calm and happy.”

About: I've always felt a special connection with animals. I grew up with all kinds of pets, have cared for dogs of different breeds and personalities, and have experience house-sitting small dogs and cats. What sets me apart is how much I genuinely enjoy getting to know each animal. I pay attention to their personalities, routines, and little quirks, and I want them (and you) to feel safe and comfortable while you're away. I'm patient with shy pets, happy to get outside for walks and sniff adventures, and never one to skimp on affection for a dog who loves cuddles. I have a calm, friendly 20-pound Beagle mix of my own, including experience with a rescue dog, so I understand that every pet has their own needs and comfort level. I'll treat your pet like one of my own, follow your instructions carefully, and make sure you have photo updates and peace of mind while you're away. 🐾❤️ I know what it's like to need pet care and a trusted sitter as I have used this app myself for petcare. Prefer a meet and greet first if time allows I work for myself from home, so I have flexibility in my daily schedule to fit in walks, drop-in visits, and quality time with your pets. I already build my day around caring for my own small dog, Zoey, and getting outside daily. I'm happy to coordinate around your pet's usual schedule and routines, whether that means morning walks, midday check-ins, or spending more time with them while you're away. As a protective pet owner myself, I want you to feel comfortable knowing your pet is getting attention, companionship, and care from someone who genuinely loves being around animals. 🐶❤️ Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities! 🐾 As a pet owner myself, I understand that every dog has their own personality, preferences, and routines. Some are social butterflies, while others are a little more particular, and that’s perfectly okay! I’ll take the time to get to know your pet and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I’m flexible and happy to follow your instructions closely, whether that means sticking to a specific routine, accommodating special preferences, or making sure your pup gets plenty of attention. Safety is always a priority, and I keep dogs leashed whenever we’re outside a securely fenced area. Communication is important to me, too! I’ll keep you updated with photos so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands. I also have a sweet, easygoing 20-pound Beagle mix named Zoey who is almost 6 years old and spayed. If your dog enjoys the company of other dogs, I’m happy to discuss bringing her along for a little playdate! Of course, I completely understand that not every dog wants a canine companion, so Zoey will only join us with your permission and if it’s a good fit for your pet. My goal is to make your pet feel loved and comfortable while giving you peace of mind while you’re away. ❤️ Reach out with any questions!

“Michael is hands down amazing. We had him our home for 4 night to care after my 2 dogs. We was very communicative, professional, nice, caring and VERY compassionate towards my dogs. One of my dogs has a lot of anxiety issues but the second Michael walked in, my dog was instantly happy and excited which I’ve never seen before with a man. Michael sent pictures and videos and took them for extra long walks! Thank you Michael, and we’ll definitely be booking with you again soon!”

She even helped me with a difficult neighborhood kitty and made sure my beloved feral kitty was fed and safe. My dogs have separation anxiety therefore I often dont leave them. I feel so relieved that now that I have someone I can trust and they feel comfortable with to care for them and for our home.”

She took Saoirse on wonderful walks at Point Defiance and Sehmel Homestead Park, kept her happy and engaged, and made sure Saoirse had the perfect mix of exercise, care, love, attention, and joy. The regulare photos and videos were absolutely delightful to receive (and share :). Tina’s updates, attention to detail, kindness, and genuine love for dogs shine through in everything she does. According to Saoirse, Tina deserves a thousand stars — and I couldn’t agree more. Thank you for taking amazing care of my sweet girl!”

About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and currently have both senior cats and a senior dog (pug) at home. Caring for aging pets has taught me the importance of patience, attentiveness, consistency, and understanding each pet’s individual needs and personality. I’m comfortable caring for both dogs and cats and love getting to know each pet’s unique routine and energy level. I recently graduated and currently have a very flexible schedule, which allows me to provide attentive care throughout the week for dogs and cats of all ages! I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and overnight stays during both weekdays and weekends, and I’m able to spend plenty of quality time with pets during the day. I understand how important consistency and routine are for animals, especially while their owners are away, and I strive to provide dependable care, regular updates, and lots of attention to help pets feel comfortable and safe. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize maintaining their normal routine and helping them feel comfortable in their familiar environment. I’m attentive to feeding schedules, walks, litter box care, medications, and each pet’s individual needs and personality. I can easily crate a dog if necessary. I also value clear communication, cleanliness, and treating every home and pet with respect and care.

About: I’ve been in love with dogs since I got my first golden lab at age 6 and haven’t looked back, I am extremely active, and love taking care, playing with and making sure they get plenty of exercise. Recently my 14 year old black lab passed away, she had many surgeries/health issues towards the end and I’m very experienced with older dogs as well as younger. I respect all client wishes and it’s imperative to me that you know your animal is being taken care of with the same care you’d give them. I am currently working part time, so I am available everyday after 11 am, weekdays and weeknights, and my schedule is extremely flexible. I also walk twice a day as apart of my own routine, so it’s very easy to incorporate pets into my schedule. I have a fairly good sized backyard with 6 feet high fences, a two story home with plenty of space to crate your dog if needed. I also live less than one block away from an elementary school with a massive fenced in field, with plenty of room for your pet to run around in a safe environment.

Christine is the best sitter ever!! Our dog Winnie has some sensitivities, and Christine was nothing but patient, loving, and attentive to her needs. We couldn’t have asked for more trustworthy or caring hands for our four-legged friend. Truly couldn’t recommend her enough! 10/10 stars! ⭐️

Cambria always does the best job with our pets, 2 dogs and 2 cats. The cats adore her (easy to see from the many pictures she sends) and due to our dogs having different levels of mobility, takes the younger one on extra walks. House is so tidy and clean when we return - would never know someone stayed there. And we trust her - she notices info on our pets that I don’t. She is the e best pet sitter we have ever had. Thank you Cambria❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Annika used to watch our elderly dachshund and is now helping us by staying with our dachshund puppy. She is extremely reliable and willing to go the extra mile with a higher maintenance little guy. She provides excellent communication as well. We feel so fortunate to have found her, I always feel comfortable leaving our pup in her care.

FAQs for House Sitting - Rosedale

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of House Sitting in Rosedale is $56 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $42 and $67 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 November 2026, there are 6,768 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 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Rosedale. On Rover:

  • 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 92% 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.
