“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.”
“Jinok and David were outstanding sitters for our home and dog. I highly recommend them. They were reliable, flexible and attentive to our dog's needs. They also communicated with us clearly and consistently throughout our trip. Having them taking care of things really gave us peace of mind so we could enjoy our holidays. And they took great pictures of him!”
“Michelle was great house sitting for our two dogs while we were away for a long weekend. She was communicative, caring, and left the house super clean! Trustworthy and will use again!”
“Eunice did such a wonderful job watching Remy! Super communicative and felt very comfortable with Remy staying with her while I had to be out for a few hours! Will definitely book again!”
“Allie was fantastic! She watched my one year old dog and I felt so comfortable knowing he was in great hands. She sent me updates and pictures and gave him so much love. I would highly recommend her!”
“Josh did an outstanding job taking care of Kody over the weekend. He was not only kind and caring but also went above and beyond to ensure Kody was well looked after. His attentiveness and genuine love for animals were evident, making me feel completely at ease. I highly recommend him to anyone in need of a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter!”
“Jasmine did an amazing job looking after our dog Bruno and watching our home. We appreciated the detailed updates during our trip including photos and videos. Jasmine also went above and beyond and took great care of our plants while we were away.”
“Natalia was perfect! She was very responsive, paid close attention to Pepper, and left my home in better condition than she found it. She sent pictures every day, and gave me a thorough description of how Pepper was doing every single day. I highly recommend Natalia! She is very caring and your dog will feel safe and cared for, and you will have peace of mind!”
About: As a lifelong pet owner, caring for animals is one my favorite things to do. I treat every furry guest like a member of my own family. I am entirely comfortable sticking to your pet's unique daily routine, including any special accommodations they might need to feel safe and happy. Best of all, I know the stress on you of being away from your babies! You can expect regular, and steady stream of picture checkins throughout the day. Your peace of mind is my top priority, and I will make sure you never miss a single tail wag while you are away. I am lucky enough to work full time from home, which means I am at my laptop and available for your pet all week long. Your furry friend will enjoy constant companionship, easy potty breaks, and plenty of desk-side cuddles. When providing care in your home, my top priority is maintaining your pet's comfort while fully respecting your space and privacy. Since I work from my laptop, I can easily replicate their normal routine in their own secure environment while leaving your home exactly as clean and tidy as I found it.
“Dana was so good with my kitties! Pistachio is a shy, nervous cat and doesn't usually get comfortable around people easily - and she was so comfortable around Dana that she got on her lap on the second day of sitting! She also was very communicative and sent me photos as I had requested. When I got home, it was clear that both the kitties and my apartment had been well cared for. 10/10 would book again!”
“David was absolutely amazing with our 2 dogs! He took them for a few walks, while making sure they got well hydrated and rested in between. Our dogs slept very well that night! Also, David was very communicative and kept us updated on how and what our pups were doing. And aside from the love he showed our dogs, David is a very nice man with a vast knowledge of all types of dogs. I would definitely recommend David and would reach out to him again if we’re in town.”
“Maria Antonia stepped in after a late cancellation and saved us :) she took great care of my Percy, sending frequent updates and earning his affection almost instantly. I felt really confident in having her around and can’t wait to use again! Thanks Maria Antonia!”
“Emily was incredible for our dog cowboy. She was reliable and communicative with us. It was the first time we really left him for a longer period and she was sure to send us photos everyday and keep us updated. We came back to a happy dog that was well cared for. Highly recommend Emily!”
“Maddie did a great job housesitting and taking care of my two cats while I was away for a long weekend. She provided consistent updates, followed my directions carefully, and left my place neat and tidy.”
“We booked Ian to house sit with our two dogs for a week. Our older dog took a little time to adjust to a new sitter and routine, and Ian was patient with him as he settled in. The house was spotless when we returned, which we really appreciated. Thanks, Ian!”
“If you’re looking for an in home dog sitter, Jenna is GREAT! She kept the house clean and the pup happy. Our dog was very comfortable with her and content when we got home. I highly recommend Jenna if you’re looking for a sitter who is local to downtown Seattle. She sends pics and communicates quickly which is always appreciated while traveling.”
“Sophia was fantastic. She is very communicative, she sent lots of photo/video updates and my place looked like no one had even been here. Amazing! She watched my three cats and even the shy one was asking for pets within the first hour of her stay. She followed all my instructions and was very flexible when I needed to push back our meeting time. I will definitely rebook with Sophia! It was an excellent experience. Thank you, Sophia!”
About: After working in a couple of dog friendly offices, I've earned the trust of many co-workers to care for their pups outside of work. I don't have a car, so I make it a point to take dogs on long walks whenever possible. I prefer to have a vehicle, because I love disc golf and take the dogs I watch out to play with me when I can. I abide by rules (allergies, feeding time, etc), but also love to spoil dogs when allowed. Older dogs get to chill on my couch or bed (with assistance getting up) and I have a carpeted apartment that's comfortable for floor naps as well. I have been in a pet friendly office for over a decade, and have currently been laid off. Weekdays are wide open as I'm taking time off through the holidays. I am a Seahawks season ticket holder and avid UW football fan, so weekends aren't as easy for me, but I can be available for weekend sitting if needed. I give constant attention to pets in my home, and would do the same in client's homes as well. The dogs I've watched over the years have loved being with me and I love being with them. I feed them when instructed, given correct treats and walks. I live in a very pedestrian friendly neighborhood so even the night walks are easy for me.
“Allie is without a doubt one of the best sitters we have had. She cared for our boy Hugo perfectly, sent photo updates. What’s unique about Allie is she knows part of caring for pets well is making their people feel comfortable and rest assured. You can tell pets just relax and enjoy her presence and she brings the utmost peace of mind when you are away from your pack. Thank you Allie will definitely be booking again!”

Maria Antonia stepped in after a late cancellation and saved us :) she took great care of my Percy, sending frequent updates and earning his affection almost instantly. I felt really confident in having her around and can’t wait to use again! Thanks Maria Antonia!
Naomi is timely for arrival, a great communicator, asks questions when needed, and left my house clean! The most important detail is she takes exceptional care of our senior Golden Retriever Hattie, sends photos each day, and updates me about Hattie's day. We appreciate Naomi and plan to book with her for a third time.
Lynn is an absolute pro. She stayed with our two dogs for two full weeks while we traveled abroad. She was communicative throughout and the dogs were well cared for. She also took excellent care of our home, including my houseplants and some new winter greens I’d planted in the yard. We love working with Lynn and will continue to do so whenever we can — highly recommend her to folks looking for an excellent sitter!!
Dorothy responded to our request when a Trusted House Sitter left us two days early while we were out of town. It was a really difficult and awkward situation and Dorothy stepped right in to take care of our 15-year-old Springer spaniel and all that entails. She was gentle and understanding and an excellent communicator. Calvin was clearly comfortable with her. She has a sensitivity to animals and situations that is very important. I will definitely reach out to Dorothy again.
Falcor, who’s usually slow to warm up to new people, took to Brian right away. Brian clearly loves animals and is extremely attentive to their well-being. He carefully administered Falcor’s medications three times a day as instructed, took him on plenty of walks, and gave him lots of cuddles and playtime. Knowing Falcor was in such caring, responsible, and responsive hands gave me tremendous peace of mind. I’ll definitely book Brian again!
Payton and Paige took incredible care of our 9 month old Bernese Mountain Dog pup while we were away at a wedding for 4 days. I was very nervous about leaving her because she'd had an ear infection and a huge lump on her head a few days before leaving so we had spent days at the vet and she didn't seem like herself. However, I decided to go and when we got back she was happy and healthy and had clearly had a great time. She even cried when Payton left! Payton (who did the majority of this sit) was brilliant and even washed our sheets for us before we got back! They were very communicative throughout the stay and sent photos each day. Payton gave Lucha her medication twice a day for the whole time we were gone and even bought some pill pockets to help her take her meds. Thank you both so much!
Christopher was an excellent dog, cat, and house sitter and id recommend him to anyone I know. He sent daily pics, took great care of our dogs, and was very quick to respond whenever we messaged. We have 3 small dogs and cat and Christopher took great care of all of them. I would book Christopher again and you should too!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Seattle is $61 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $31 and $122 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 8,216 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 , 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 .
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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
sitters on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
