“This is the first time that Natalie has taken care of my kitties and I'd definitely have her back. Fabulous communicator - kitties and house in great shape upon my return.”
“We have used Sol many times and everytime is a wonderful experience. She is clear in communication, looks after Echo and we get lots of photos. We are lucky to have found Sol”
“Jamilyn was quite wonderful with Lilly on her second visit and I noticed she matched her energy with Lilly so that when I walked out the door, Lilly was too busy to be concerned. I appreciate her creativity and warmth and would recommend her.”
“Allie was a consummate professional from Meet & Greet to wrapping up house sitting with my girl dog. She communicated easily and often. I loved the photos she sent throughout the time which helped me stay connected to my pup. Perfectly clean home and happy dog when I got back. Highly recommend!”
“Janet was a joy to work with and took great care of my doggo. Her flexibility around planning was super helpful for my schedule. She went above and beyond to reach out if she needed anything AND gave her a bath without being asked! You can tell Janet really cares which gives her a sense of trust that is invaluable.”
“Mandy was an incredible sitter while staying at my house and watching Osho. From regular updates, fantastic photos of Osh and my place left cleaner than it was before I left, I can’t wait to work with Mandy again. Highly recommend!”
“Emily did a great job taking care of Penny, especially giving her a liquid antibiotic via syringe which was an unplanned care item. Penny was very happy and well adjusted when we came home which meant she was quite comfortable with Emily. The house was in perfect shape and we would definitely have Emily sit for us again.”
“Michael was the best sitter and a friend that Rio and I could as for. He was professional, timely and consistent with communication/updates. One thing I liked about is his thoroughness and following them through promptly because Rio has special needs. He was patient and considerate. I was able to finish my trip without worrying about Rio's state because I knew he was in safe hands. I would highly recommend Michael to any future client looking for a trustworthy sitter.”
“Jade was a perfect fit for my dog and provided excellent service. She gave Raylin lots of love and attention and sent me updates with lots of pictures throughout her stay. She also took good care of my place and was flexible with my schedule. If I could give her more than 5 stars, I would! 🐾⭐️🐾”
“David did an exceptional job taking care of our pets and is very communicative with updates, pictures and videos. He also left the house very clean and we came back to very happy dogs and cats.”

“Eunice was great. She took out our pups on regular walks, managed their medication, and kept in regular contact. We’re so happy she’s one of our regulars!”
“Tassia took great care of our two girls while we were traveling. Leaving them home is always stressful and we miss them, but she took the time to get to know them before our trip, asked thoughtful questions, and kept us updated with photos while we were away. We will definitely work with Tassia again!”
“Nora was great with my two dogs for a last minute booking! I'm usually pretty anxious about a new sitter while I'm out for long, but Nora did a great job sending updates and I could tell they were very comfortable with her. I came home to a clean apartment and happy babies, will definitely book in the future.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Seattle
Erica is amazing!! She was super accommodating with our last minute request and even fit in time for a meet & greet. She kept us updated throughout the whole time and send lots of photos which we loved. Our pup looked like he had the absolute best time with her!! She’s the best!
Emily was amazing! She had a lot of pets to take care of for us and did it perfectly! We had our four , plus a rescue that needed constant rotation throughout the house. Daily walks, feedings and play time. Exhausting work, and she was a pro! Thank you for everything! We will definitely use Emily again!
Just had Tassia look after our dog Bruce at our house. We have used her multiple times and every experience has been great. He is a big fan of hers and she takes great care of him and our house while we are gone. Super clean and respectful and takes the time to teach him new tricks. Tassia is definitely part of our preferred list of Rover sitters. Highly recommend!
Eunice did a wonderful job taking care of our two crazy Samoyeds! She quickly earned trust and shared so many adorable photos while we were away. She was also extremely respectful of our home and left it better than she found it. Will definitely book Eunice the next time we’re out of town!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Seattle on Rover is $60 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 8,317 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Seattle. 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 Seattle 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 Seattle 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 Seattle 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 Seattle. On Rover:
- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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.
