“We've had Morgan watch our pup and two kitties several times and we love her! She's dependable, caring and totally trustworthy (she stays at our house while we are gone). We would highly recommend Morgan!”
“This is our second time using Veronica, and she has been great. She took care of our dogs, cat, plants, and other things we requested. She sends daily update photos and loves our on pets while we're gone.”
“Amber did a fantastic job. She made sure our nervous dog felt safe and got all the exercise that she needed. She communicated every step of the way and we were very comfortable the whole time. Would absolutely recommend her to anybody.”
“Bridgette far surpassed my expectations for house & pet sitting. I'm real fussy about this sort of thing and I will tell you that she is the best we've experienced. Prompt, communicative, caring, and meticulous - Bridgette is not only a professional at home & pet sitting but also, just a fine person. Snatch her up to care for your home & pets if she's available. She's so good that we'll work around her availability for subsequent requirements if able. Thanks Bridgette.”
“It was a pleasure meeting Karolina and having her watch our 2-dogs for the July 4th Holiday. She was great with spending LOTS of time at our house, walking Stewie & Odie a couple times a day and communicating with us throughout the weekend. We will definitely have her watch our dogs in the future!”
“Molly did a wonderful job with our two chihuahuas. We were in town for a wedding and she was very communicative and flexible. The dogs warmed up to her quickly due to her kind, calm presence. I would definitely use her again.”
“Donna came to our house to watch our sixteen year old timer doggo, she's a terrific communicator, extremely friendly and trustworthy, and she took wonderful care of him. Highly recommend her, we will definitely be calling her again for future sitting. Reliable and caring.”
“Madison was excellent. I couldn’t have ask for a better care person for my animals. She kept me updated and sent lots of pictures. I had a newly rescued dog that needed lots of love and she was amazing with her. My other dog is very active and most happy running. She was able to keep him happy as well. Madison is highly recommended!!!”
“This is the second time Camille helped us out and she was great again. I love how well she communicates with us while we’re gone and I trust that my animals are receiving the best care.”
“Morgan was amazing!!! She watched our two dogs and cat in our home. She was already up to speed on our pets profiles before our meet and greet, and asked a ton of thoughtful questions about their routines and habits. She sent daily updates and pictures - it was such a relief to know our pets were safe and happy while we were out of town! Morgan also went out of her way to be at the house to let in our cleaning service and wheeled our dumpster to the curb when I forgot. Definitely will book Morgan again the next time we go on vacation! 😊”
About: I understand that each furry friend has their own unique personality and routine, I take the time to make them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away! Wether your furry friend is full of energy or prefers a calm and quiet environment, I will provide compassionate reliable care and keep you updated with photos and messages for your peace of mind! As a full time worker who lives with a 1year old puppy and a senior dog, I do my best to cater to their individual needs. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space, follow all care instructions carefully, and make sure pets receive the same love and attention they’re used to. I also provide regular photo and text updates so owners can relax knowing their pet is happy and well cared for. If pets stay in my home, they’ll be treated like part of the family in a clean, safe, and loving environment. I’ll make sure they get plenty of attention, enrichment, exercise, and a comfortable place to rest. I strive to create a stress-free experience where every pet feels secure, loved, and cared for until they’re reunited with their family.
“Anika stayed at our house for a week to watch our dog and did an amazing job. Everything was taken care of, our dog was happy, and we had zero complaints. Would definitely book again.”
“Rachel is fantastic. She took great care of our super sweet giant snuggle pup and our house. She was incredibly prompt in responding to all of our messages, checked in regularly and sent pictures. She went not an extra mile but extra miles to provide a great experience. Thank you for being awesome to Red Cloud and to us Rachel!”
“Madison was great. She took excellent care of my 19 year old cat who also needed thyroid medication twice daily. She was quick to understand what was needed and left the house looking clean and tidy. Sent the cutest photos too! I will definitely ask for her help with my cat again.”
“Sabina did such a wonderful job house sitting for us and watching our two big dogs! One of them has a couple of quirks and requires multiple long walks a day and Sabina was able to accommodate that. She was super communicative and sent us pictures of the doggies every day so we could feel at ease during our trip! Our dogs seem very happy, and our house was spotless coming back home. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience! Thank you, Sabina!”
“Shayla was very sweet with our kids, especially with our very senior Lady Ume. She kept us updated texting and with photos. Shayla was respectful of our home and we returned home to a clean and tidy house. We have already reserved Shayla for a second visit.”

Bridgette was fantastic! Super communicative the entire time and took great care of my 2 special needs pups. She left our house incredibly clean and made sure our plants got water. Can’t say enough about how happy I and my dogs were with our experience with her! We will book with her again!
Jasmine did a phenomenal job taking care of my elderly dog. I came home to find him relaxed, clean, comfortable, and well taken care of. My home was left immaculate as I left it. She is by far the best sitter we have ever had. I can’t thank her enough. She sent me a pic and responded promptly any time I sent a message.

FAQs for House Sitting - Skagit City
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 1,419 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Skagit City. 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 Skagit City 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 Skagit City 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 Skagit City 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.
