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!”
“Samantha did a great job watching our puppies, one of which is particularly scared and on the defensive with everyone and everything. Will absolutely use again in the future.”

“Russell was fantastic with both of our pups! He was always providing great photos and videos while we were away. He made us feel very comfortable with leaving our pups with him and we would definitely looking to book again when we are away!”
“Wow, Murou did an excellent job watching our special needs/highly opinionated Jindo mix - we got a ton of photos everyday and was super communicative. House was immaculate when we returned and now our dog is sad his new friend isn't here anymore, lol. Highly recommend and we will be repeat clients. Thank you again Murou and hope to see you soon!”
“Tricia did a wonderful job while we were out of the country for 4 weeks. Took great care of both cat and dog and the house. Had a couple of emergencies come up that she handled like a rock star! So very grateful we found her listing. It can be hard to get sitters for long stays at reasonable rates and have them be so honest, caring and communicative. Though we may not need a long stay sitter for a while again, I will definitely call on Tricia when we do.”
About: As a trusted and dedicated pet sitter, I provide loving and reliable care for any fur baby while their families are away. I have experience administering medications and injections when needed, ensuring pets stay healthy and comfortable, whether it's walks, playtime, feeding, cuddles, I treat every pet as if they were my own. I genuinely love spending time with animals and take pride in making them feel safe, happy, and loved. I am only available for housesitting because my little dog does not get along with any other dogs and my roommate would take care of her while I am away. I am currently working part time so I have more time to dedicate to cat/dog/ferret/bird, etc. sit. If I do have a full work day, I have the flexibility to come home and take them for a walk. I follow a consistent schedule tailored to each family’s preferences, ensuring every pet receives the care they need and the love they deserve. This includes feeding, administering medications, walks, playtime, and plenty of cuddles and affection. I also keep the home tidy, including cleaning up after pets and making sure trash and recycling are taken out as needed.
“Jen is amazing. She took great care of our dogs. Calming one down when I balloon landed in the back yard! She followed our instructions to the letter and even brought in our trash/recycling containers without being asked. She communicates and sends updates and pics, which we REALLY appreciate! We can enjoy our trips knowing Jen is with them!!!”
“Huge gratitude to Eric! From being an excellent and prompt communicator to showing incredible flexibility and kindness, he made the entire experience seamless. What stood out most, though, was his genuine care—he’s not just reliable, he’s a true animal lover with a gentle, thoughtful approach. Knowing that our dog & cat were in the hands of someone who treated them with the same love and attention we would, gave us complete peace of mind. We feel truly fortunate that Eric stepped up, and we couldn’t recommend him more highly.”
“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”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since 12 years old when got my first dog. Very quickly dog owners started trusting me with walking their dogs as well and pet sitting them while owners are away. I have experience of dog sitting from 1 to 12 dogs in a household. For now I work full time, but I am in the process of transitioning to part time. I will be happy to assist over the weekend and visit your pets during business days after work. I keep animals in a safe, clean, and secure environment by following the owner’s instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medication, and exercise routines. I always supervise pets during visits or walks, ensure doors and leashes are secure, and prioritize their comfort and safety in any setting
About: I’ve loved and cared for dogs my whole life, growing up with Bernese Mountain Dogs, and now with two rescues! I've worked in an animal shelter with dogs of many sizes, breeds, and temperaments, so I'm skilled at socializing, walking, and playing with dogs with all kinds of personalities. I've also cared for a reactive dog of my own, which has taught me even more about canine body language and how to respond safely. With experience ranging from puppies to seniors, including medical and special needs care, I give every dog the patience, and love they deserve, as if they were my own! I currently have a hybrid position, and hoping to care for animals with my extra time! Due to remote work, my schedule is quite flexible and I'm available for boarding or check ins most days. When I’m caring for pets in your home, my goal is to make things feel as normal and comfortable for them as possible. I stick to your usual routines so they feel safe and loved while you’re away. I’m attentive to their moods and body language, and I’m happy to provide updates and photos so you can relax knowing they’re happy and cared for. I’ll also treat your home with the same respect I’d want for my own, leaving it just as you left it. Happy to align with your needs!
“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.”
“Chelsea loves animals, and animals love Chelsea! Chelsea is an excellent house sitter, drop-in sitter, dog walker, pet care person of all stripes! We highly recommend her as safe and efficient. Our little dog simply loves her!”

I wish a 10 star rating was an option!! Ashley is, hands down, the best catsitter we’ve ever had. We have two cats and asked Ashley to housesit with them while we left for our wedding/honeymoon. She gave the sweetest photo updates — we knew they were being treated like royalty. Not only that, but she took such fantastic care of our apartment while we were out (and even baked us bread for when we got home 🥹); a pet whisperer and just an all-around gem of a person!
What can I see about Sage? She is an outstanding young lady who stepped up and came and looked after our two puppies at short notice giving them a first class treatment making them happy and Com at all points fed them as to our instructions and exercise them as to a instructions and she’s a credit to herself and anyone would be happy to have her look after your pets thank you very much for all your hard work
Bryan is an exceptional overnight pet sitter! He cared for our two high-energy dogs and our cat for five days and treated them like they were his own. His experience really showed—he was comfortable administering medication to our dog, followed all feeding instructions carefully, and made sure everyone got plenty of attention, playtime, and exercise. Bryan kept us updated throughout our trip with pictures and videos, which gave us great peace of mind knowing our pets were happy and well cared for. We also came home to a clean house—he even washed the linens and dishes! We couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter and will definitely use Bryan again. Highly recommend!
Chantal was such a game changer for us! Our dog, Bear gets so nervous when he sees our luggages come out so we knew we needed someone experienced to care for him while we weee away. Chantal followed all our instructions, communicated with us often & sent photos and videos per our request. Upon our return, Bear was clearly loved on, cared for, played with, etc. Chantal also cared for our home, was able to administer medicine in Bear’s food, & all around brought us peace!
We had a wonderful experience! Elisa took such great care of our two dogs and treated them like they were her own. We received lots of updates, photos, and had complete peace of mind while we were away. She was attentive, reliable, and made sure both dogs got plenty of love, exercise, and care. We came home to two happy, relaxed pups and a spotless house. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring sitter.
Brandie house sat and took care of our 2 year old Pomeranian and 4 year old Main Coon and they absolutely love her. She took amazing care of our place, left everything clean, and sent daily updates and pics. We will continue using Brandie for date nights, events, and trips. She is sweet and dependable!
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.
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.
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.

FAQs for House Sitting - Sammamish
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Sammamish on Rover is $66.16 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 7,653 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.
