“This was our first time using Dmytro and it was great! Fast and consistent communication, worked well with multiple changes to the visit and sent pictures of two happy dogs!”

“Chloe was a wonderful pet sitter! She took amazing care of our dog and our bunny while we were out of town. She was incredibly respectful of our home & space, and left everything in perfect condition. We appreciated her communication and updates with pictures of our pets! I would absolutely recommend her!”
“Clancy, has the perfect mix of competency and care! She treats our dogs like they were her own. Takes amazing care of your pets and also your home when house sitting! Very responsive and excellent communication before, during, and after her time caring for our pets!”
About: I used to love raising chickens rabbits goats and turkeys, and always had dogs and cats at my side. Those days are behind me, so I'm here to help take care of yours now. I'm a grandma and watch my grandkids part time, so I have lots of time and energy for being with critters and caring for them. When I worked at a doggie daycare, I learned all about their needs and spent many of nights taking care of the boarding dogs and cats. I'm prepared to handle any medical needs, and love detailed instructions.
“Georgia was great! She looked after our 1 year old golden at our place for a day. We had to leave at a hurry, and she was kind enough to figure things at our home. She kept us updated by sending pics and messages. Would like to have her sit my boy again!”
“Outstanding care! Finding someone trustworthy to care for Cabo, my senior dog with multiple health issues and daily medications, has been a challenge. But Bryce exceeded every expectation! From the start, their professionalism and compassion pet me at ease. They followed Cabo’s meditation schedule, gave him the attention he needs, and kept me updated with photos and messages so I never worried. On top of that, they cared for my chinchilla, Ash, with the same level of dedication-making sure both pets were happy and comfortable. It’s rare to find someone so attentive and reliable, especially for pets with special needs. I truly felt like my fur babies are in the best hands. If you are looking for a pet sitter who treats your pets like family, look no further, I strongly recommend, Bryce.”
“Our plans changed the day before we were scheduled to leave and we couldn’t bring our dog as planned, we frantically looked for a dog sitter and luckily we found Ethan! He was so wonderful with our dog Lucy while we were gone for a week. He took her for daily walks as we asked and kept in frequent communication with us about day to day activities, sending us pictures. He was neat and clean and respectful of our home. We came home from our trip to a very happy, well cared for dog. Thank you Ethan!”
“I was searching for someone to do an overnight stay while I was out of town and found Katrina to be a good fit for what I was looking for. I am always apprehensive on having a stranger stay in my house for the first time and wanted to make sure there would be no issues with either my dog or house. She was on time, asked specific questions and provided timely updates throughout her stay. I would recommend and use her again!”
“Karin was wonderful! She responded quickly, was very sweet, asked thoughtful questions, was attentive, and I came home to a happy and well cared for dog. Highly recommend and would love to book with her again.”
“Magdalena was watching our 8 months old puppy for a week and he had an awesome time . She was very consistent with providing us regular updates for him daily - multiple times a day . She even spend time continue to train him and taught him new things . She was very involved about our dogs sleep time and comfort and thought like a mom does . I felt safe and happy leaving him with someone who cared so much . Thanks to Magdalena and would surly recommend to anyone who is looking for a great sitter .”
“Alec was very kind and low key. Matched our low key dog very well! Came home to a very happy and well-cared for pup. Will be booking again in the future if Alec is available.”
“Our Bengal cats Tako and Nunu love having Murou at our home. She sends us plenty of photos and when we come home the house is clean and the cats are relaxed. Would definitely have her catsit for us again.”
“Maryna and her husband took such great care of our Ruffi! It's always a nice feeling to return home to a happy dog :). She got him out for adventure walks and sent lots of pictures each day. And the house was left clean and tidy.”
“Kira was an amazing dog sitter! One of our dogs has separation anxiety, and Kira did a great job keeping her calm and cared for. They also asked a lot of great questions to make sure they had all of the information they needed about our dogs while we were gone. They sent us pictures of the dogs and gave status updates while we were gone which was really appreciated! They were very flexible with time too, I was able to book them with just a few days notice, and had to stay out later than expected which was no problem for them. Overall it was a great experience, our pups seemed very happy. Thanks Kira! <3”
“Brandi is a wonderful house guest and dog sitter. She was very respectful of the house and left it nice and tidy. Both of our dogs loved her! She sent lots of updates and pictures and was very communicative. She helped our eldest dog with his arthritis shots and provided lots of love and care for both dogs. A great experience overall. We would highly recommend Brandi to anyone looking for a dog sitter.”
“Marcea did a wonderful job watching our 11 month old Labrador Rottweiler mix puppy. He is over 100 pounds and has a lot of energy! He really liked her right away and very much enjoyed her company. She handled his teenage difficulties very well and had great communication. We’ll definitely book Marcea again!”
“Junbo did an amazing job watching our young puppy and two cats, including lots of on the fly communication and adapting with their routines. She was always responsive and helped problem solve while we were away, greatly appreciate all her care for our little ones!”

Happy that Juniper was available again for this last sit. My cat loves her and remembered her from last time so she didn't need any warm up time. I actually think my cat wasn't so sad that I was leaving this time because she wanted to hang out with Juniper again. Juniper is great with communication, asking questions and sending updates. I highly recommend her services.
Brandi is the best! She is personable, trustworthy, and our animals love her. We are completely relaxed knowing they are taken care of. Brandi also has a lot of knowledge about animals which is a bonus. She is house sitting and taking care of the animals when we are away this summer. Highly recommend.
Chantal was wonderful with Obii! And Obii absolutely loved Chantal. She kept me updated throughout the visit with photos and messages, which gave me so much peace of mind. I really appreciated the regular updates and being able to see how he was doing while I was away. She was kind, reliable, and made sure Obii was well cared for. I will be booking with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and communicative sitter!
Ashley was awesome and we'd definitely recommend/book with her again. She was respectful, on time, thorough and really great with our dogs and the house. She left the house in great shape even beyond my expectations, and the dogs were very happy. Thanks so much Ashley!
Fantastic and flexible dog walker, and overall pet sitter. Nika is easy to talk to and communicate with. Our pets loved her. She went above and beyond to take our dog to Marymoor Dog Park, one of his favorites for some fun. Also flexible - when our return flight was delayed a day, she was willing to pick up an extra day.
Elisa was absolutely exceptional, and we would trust her with Benny again in a heartbeat. From our very first meet-and-greet, it was clear how thoughtful and professional she is. She came prepared with a thorough list of questions, took detailed notes throughout our conversation, and even snapped photos to make sure she knew exactly how to use Benny’s leash and gear. She was incredibly communicative before and during the stay, regularly checking in and making sure we were comfortable with everything. Whether it was taking Benny on a hike or a trip to the river, she always let us know her plans ahead of time and made sure we were on board. What really stood out was how much she genuinely cared about Benny’s well-being. During a particularly warm stretch of weather, she went above and beyond to make sure he stayed comfortable, finding cool places for him to explore and even adding ice cubes to his water. She sent lots of wonderful photos and updates, and it was obvious from every interaction that she had formed a genuine bond with him. She was also incredibly accommodating, even offering to start her stay earlier so she could take him on a hike that day. We came home to a happy, well-cared-for dog, and we couldn’t ask for more. We’ll absolutely be booking with Elisa again!
Christian was absolutely wonderful with our high energy Golden Retriever! He sent lots of photo's of her while they were busy on walks. Plus, photos of her relaxing in his home. I was worried she would have anxiety, but she seemed to really settle in. The next time we need a pet sitter we will definitely contact Christian.
Highly recommend Dmytro and Katie. They sent daily pictures and updates. The face licks from my 85lb pitbull started at the meet and greet. It was a worry-free vacation for me and "The Dude" enjoyed the time with Dmytro and Katie. Will definitely book with then again.
An indicator of how good a dog sitter is that your dog is calm and happy when you return home. I could already see that, tho, from the twice daily updates and pictures we received from Laura! Laura is kind and caring, took wonderful care of Zorro in our home, and is also very talented. We were surprised with a pet portrait that totally captured Zorro's essence. Thank you for the precious gift.

FAQs for House Sitting - Sammamish
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Sammamish on Rover is $65.98 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 7,652 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Sammamish. 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 Sammamish 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 Sammamish 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 Sammamish 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.
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.
