“Simply put, Valeriya was amazing. She exceeded all our expectations and we could not have imagined a better experience. Valeriya took care of our 8-year old Aussie Doodle Noodles, sitting for him in our home, taking care of our house as well, for a little more than a month. It was our first ever long duration trip leaving Noodles at home, and we were anxious to say the least. At the meet and greet, Valeriya suggested a series of "get-to-know Noodles" activities to ensure her arrival for the sit was well met and comfortable. She asked us to prepare thorough directions, including items we would not have thought to include without her tremendous input. During the stay, she communicated daily with us about Noodles, his activities, eating, general health and well being, providing photos and live videos of their time together. We had weekly video calls with her and Noodles. She contacted us whenever anything unexpected, however small, came up. But most importantly, her professional, courteous approach with us was matched only by her genuine affection and care for Noodles, who took to her immediately. The bond between Valeriya and Noodles reflected in her videos, her smiles, and his smiles and genuine enthusiasm for her and all their activities throughout her care for Noodles. We did not worry about his well-being for one second. Valeriya is the "Mary Poppins" of pet sitters -- we literally could not have conceived how perfect a fit she would be for Noodles and for us. She is invaluable, words cannot express our gratitude to her, or the affection she shared with Noodles throughout her extended stay with him in our home. We are looking forward to a long term relationship with her for all our pet sitting needs. She is, succinctly, beyond great -- she is the very best, and the standard for pet sitting should be based on every aspect of her service. With eternal gratitude to Valeriya, we remain over the top for her kind, courteous, loving care for Noodles and our home.”

I believe in treating pets with kindness and using fear-free, cooperative-care approaches whenever possible so they can feel safe and comfortable.

“Jeanette was fantastic! She made the whole thing easy and I know both pups appreciated that as much as I did.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Seaside
I’ve never been away from my babies in four years. So my first vacation away from them was incredibly scary for me. But oh my days I’m incredibly thankful I stumbled across Valeriya. I know my boys can be overwhelming with how high energy they are but she reassured me they were so well behaved while I was gone. She sent me very frequent updates to ease my mind that they were in good hands. I left detailed instructions, and she followed every single one. I’m so excited to be able to travel and know my babies will be in good hands, I’m definitely going to be a frequent client. I can’t express my thanks enough!
We were on vacation for 2 weeks. Jesse stayed at our house with our 7 month old high energy puppy. Jesse sent us photos and updates regularly. When he had obligations, he took our puppy to be walked and watched by his son Chris. Our little girl was well cared for and Jesse is very responsible and professional. Happy to give 5 star rating!
Gia cared for our senior dog over Christmas for a week and did a fantastic job! She was attentive to our dog's specific needs, prompt in communicating with us, and tidy and respectful of our home. I highly recommend Gia as she is responsible and caring with pets and is a kind and trustworthy person to work with. We will be hiring her again in the future!
Jess took great care of our dog Willie over the holiday season and exceeded our expectations. She communicated clearly and consistently, and we returned to a home that was left in great condition. Willie was happy and well cared for—we’d absolutely recommend Jess and would book with her again.

FAQs for House Sitting - Seaside
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Seaside on Rover is $55.5 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 917 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Seaside. 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 Seaside 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 Seaside 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 Seaside 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Seaside. On Rover:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
