“Justelle was a very kind and caring girl. We left her with our dog for about a week while we went on vacation, so she house- and dog-sat for us. She sent us daily updates and pictures, and our dog liked her a lot! :) I'm very glad we found Justelle, and we will come back to her when we need dog sitting again!”
“Junbo is kind, reliable, and communicative. She took care of my dog and place for over a week. My 7 year old dog loved her from day 1. Junbo followed the care instructions I left, sent lots of photos, and was generous with her time, the long walks, and day adventures she took my dog on. On the way back, my dog looked happy and healthy, and my place was clean and well taken care of. I’m happy to have found a great sitter. Thank you for your great work, Junbo!”
“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!”
“Mikayla had such a calming sense of character and put me at ease using Rover for the first time. She sent updates with photos and was very responsive! I will definitely use her again if I’m back in town. Jack loved her!”
“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.”
“Dylan did a great job caring for our dog Lacey. He sent us regular updates with photos which put us at ease as we were out of town for several days. He was dependable and easy to communicate with. I would definitely hire him again!”
“Murou was great with our Bengal cat siblings Tako and Nunu. She provided regular updates, photos, adhered to their meal schedule, play sessions needs. She also kept great care of our home. Our cats really liked her and would definitely book her again. Highly recommend and hope to make her our regular sitter.”
“Clover was an excellent pet sitter for our Brittany Pepper and long hair cat. They were very attentive and gave regular detailed updates and pictures of our pets. I couldn't have been more pleased with the quality of their services. High praise indeed.”
“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!”
“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.”
“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!”
About: I grew up around dogs and small pets like hamsters and ferrets, so looking after animals is second nature to me! My childhood dog was a Siberian Husky, and I regularly took full care of him on my own during multi-day trips when my family was away. Because of that, I’m super comfortable handling big, high-energy breeds and keeping up with their exercise, and additionally i know how to manage setups that a small exotic pet like a ferret or guinea pig would need. I'm generally very free because I'm on summer break, but I do go to the gym daily and when in-house will likely be out of the house for 2-3 hours minimum. I typically choose care depending on the breed or specific needs, but as a baseline I regularly feed twice a day and like to go between one to two long walks a day or a dog park and extra playtime. With small exotics, I like to have dedicated playtime within a secure area! I DO typically wipe off paws if needed, i.e. they get muddy or wet, but if a pet doesn't let me I will not force them. With small exotics that have cages, I spot-clean whenever possible to keep their space clean.
“Katrina was extremely thorough and loving with all of our animals. Lots of pictures were sent which made us feel great & secure that everything was being taken care of, from walks to cuddles. We would definitely hire Katrina for future visits.”
“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.”
About: Hi! I'm Courtney, and if there's an animal nearby, there's a pretty good chance I'm saying hello to them before the humans. I grew up as the daughter of a professional dog trainer, so understanding dog behavior has always been second nature to me. I learned early that every dog communicates differently, and that patience, consistency, and a little positive reinforcement can go a long way. Animals have always been a huge part of my life. At home, I'm kept on my toes by my corgi, Xena, and my two cats, Gizmo and Tofu. Living with a dog and cats who all have wildly different personalities has taught me that every pet has their own quirks, routines, and love language—and I genuinely enjoy getting to know what makes each one unique. Whether your pet loves long walks, energetic playtime, quiet cuddles, or just having someone nearby who respects their space, I'm happy to meet them where they are. My goal is to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away, so you can relax knowing they're being cared for like one of my own. I'll also make sure you never have to wonder how they're doing. Expect plenty of updates, photos, and maybe a funny story if your pup decides to zoom around the living room or your cat appoints me as their new personal assistant. I know how much trust it takes to leave your furry family member with someone else, and I don't take that lightly. I can't wait to meet you and your best friend! I work full time Monday through Friday from 6:30 AM to 3:00 PM, which makes me a great fit for evening walks, drop-in visits, overnight stays, and weekend care. I keep my schedule up to date and only accept bookings I know I can fully commit to, so your pet will always receive the time, attention, and care they deserve. Your pet's safety and comfort will always come first. I believe every animal deserves patience, kindness, and respect for their individual personality and routine. Growing up with a dog trainer taught me how to recognize body language, build trust, and create positive experiences without forcing interactions. I'm happy to follow your pet's normal routine as closely as possible, whether that means a favorite walking route, medication, feeding schedule, playtime, or plenty of cuddle breaks. I'll also keep you updated with photos and messages, so you can relax knowing your furry family member is happy, safe, and well cared for while you're away.
“Moriah watched my collie mix while I was gone and it was such a pleasure. She did a great job, especially managing my high energy dog and my dog’s medication. I look forward to booking her again next time I need a dog sitter.”
“Our 2 dogs were well taken care of by Georgia. She also helped out with my 96 year old mother, making sure she got fed her lunch and dinner. We will use her again.”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Sammamish is $65
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Sammamish
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.
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.
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.

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.

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.
