“Johanna was amazing and stepped in to watch my cat last minute. They made sure to send updates and photos and were diligent about care instructions. Oscar loved them too!”
“Zach is an outstanding dog watcher who recently house sat while I was out of town. He is extremely professional, thorough and does an excellent job communicating throughout the stay. Would highly recommend booking with Zach!”
“Thank you Robyn for keeping Chidi and Ellie dry, warm, exercised, entertained, fed, loved, and everything else! Much appreciate your attention to Ellie's meds while she is in recovery for dental surgery, and for keeping things reasonably in order! Much appreciated! John-”
“Jennifer was great sitting for Maisey! She was flexible with her time, came and did a meet and greet to get to know us and Maisey before the scheduled stay. She was very quick to reply to any messages or requests and sent updates and photos while we were away. We will definitely be reaching out to Jennifer again when we have scheduled time away. Thank you!”
“Brougan stayed overnight to watch my 1 adult cat and two 5 month old kittens. He paid attention to the feeding schedule and left the home as he found it. We are using him again!”
“As always Aaliyah did a great job with our girls! She handled an unexpected issue with the fire alarm as well while we were gone. We are grateful to have found a great sitter for our girls!”
“I booked Halle super last minute for an overnight, my dog was very happy and relaxed when we came back home and everything was clean as we left it. She even left a little drawing of him on our fridge. Thank you Halle!”
“Absolutely the best. We are crazy protective pet parents and we felt completely comfortable with Becky. She sent lots of photos and videos. She took our dogs for lots of walks. We think that really helps with their stress levels. Both our dogs acted like they missed Becky when she went home. That is exactly what you want from a dog sitter. She took great care of our house as well. Will definitely use her again. We feel like Becky is part of our family now.”
“Brett did a fantastic job taking care of my dog while we were out of town. We had an emergency with our original sitter and he came to the rescue last minute. He spend lots of time with my dog and kept in consistent communication with us.”
About: When I was little and people asked what I wanted to be when I grew up, I always said 'dog walker' — and now I finally get to live that dream! This summer I have plenty of time to dedicate to caring for your pets. I have experience with both small and large dogs, as well as cats, and I treat every animal like my own. This summer I'm home in Olympia taking a college course, so my days are flexible and my focus is simple — hitting the books and spoiling some fur babies! I have plenty of time and am committed to giving your pet consistent, reliable care My home comes with a large fenced yard — plenty of room for your pup to run wild, explore, and have the time of their life!
“This is the second time Summer has house and kitty sat for us and again we are very happy with her service. Summer understands cats and is responsible and competent with no fuss. I was able to relax when traveling, knowing that our kitty is being cared for and that Summer will communicate if any questions or issues arise.”
“Appreciated Laurin very much, she sent pics and updates which are great for a nervous mom like me. She left a handwritten note as a thank you and even ran the vacuum before she left, a kind gesture for a weary traveler to arrive home to a clean house.”
“All good with Ariana! The puppies Chidi and Ellie had a great time playing with Ariana's puppies, everything was in good order when I returned, no complaints from the puppies! Thank you!”
“Mckinzie took excellent care of our pooch, house and yard! She was very sensitive to our shy dog’s personality and they ended up good friends! We appreciated her quick response time too. We will definitely use Mckinzie again in the future!”
“Chloe did a great job with our small herd of dogs. I could tell from the pictures she sent that our dogs enjoyed her company as well. She even brought her dog over for a hang session. Which is great!”
“Words can’t begin to describe how much Erica went above and beyond to nurture, care, and absolutely SPOIL (!) our dogs during an overnight stay! Her communication was fantastic, the house was left in pristine condition, and our dogs couldn’t have been happier. She even took the extra time to tend to our dogs’ special needs (we have a geriatric little one and very hyper golden retriever), and she sent thorough videos and pictures that brought us much joy. We were blown away by Erica, and would be so lucky to use her in the future!”
“Stephanie was amazing. She took such great care of my dog and my house. He has been having some health issues and it was so nerve wracking to leave him, but Stephanie made him feel safe and loved, gave him his medicine and fed him on his routine to keep his symptoms in check. My dog has been going to the spare room looking for her since I got home - that is the best outcome I could ask for!”
About: I've cared for people's dogs, cats, fish and homes for a couple of years in the Lacey, WA area. I work remotely so most days I can be with your pets all day and I have stayed in homes for up to two weeks. I love animals and will play with your furry family members, take them for walks, give them medicine and stick to the routines you have established. I love gardening and am happy to water plants while you are away. I work remotely so as long as you have wifi, I can stay with your pet(s) during the day! I can stay with your pets any day/night of the week. I will follow your routine, take your pets for a pup cup if allowed, or just hang out and play and snuggle in your home. I work remotely so I can easily take your dog(s) for walks or play fetch in the yard on breaks. I am comfortable giving injections and other meds if required. Of you need me to take out garbage bins or water plants, I am happy to do that as well. I will leave your home just as I found it, ready for your arrival.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Schneiders Prairie
Samantha is a gem! She cared for our 13 year old Puggle and a parakeet. I was so worried to leave my old girl for 12 days. Samantha put me at ease with 2x a day updates, sometimes more. She was the perfect houseguest; my home was cleaner than I left it! She is kind and responsive. We would definitely book with her again!

FAQs for House Sitting - Schneiders Prairie
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Schneiders Prairie on Rover is $33.3 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 1,452 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Schneiders Prairie. 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 Schneiders Prairie 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 Schneiders Prairie 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 Schneiders Prairie 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.
