“Heather did such an amazing job! We have two mini dachshunds and she sent lots of photos and updates. It was such a relief knowing that they were in great hands! She truly went above and beyond! The house was also spotless when we got home. She will always be our go to dog sitter!”
“Lisa took excellent care of our senior Frenchie. Our dog takes doily medication and becomes very anxious when we travel. When we returned from our trip, our dog acted as if we had never been away, and our house was in the same clean condition as when we left.”
About: I have taken care of all kinds of dogs practically my whole life. I love snuggles and play time and have the best napping couch! I work full-time from home, so I’m able to watch dogs at my place during the day and and free weekends. My schedule is semi-flexible and allows me to take time for walks and care. My home has a fenced in yard that is great for running and play time. I also live in a great neighborhood perfect for long walks.
“Ale was great with our two pups! We got photos while we were gone and they seemed to be happy and comfortable with her. We really appreciate knowing they’re in good hands while we are traveling ?”
“Fabricia did an awesome job watching my cat and dog on very short notice over the Christmas holidays. They both warmed up to her fast and she put my mind at ease with consistent updates, pictures and videos.”

“Kimberly was absolutely wonderful! She cared for our elderly dog with so much love and attention, and we could tell he felt safe and comfortable with her. It gave us such peace of mind knowing he was in her hands. She also left our home spotless—we came back to a clean, cozy space and a very happy pup. We’re so grateful for her and can’t recommend Kimberly enough!”
About: I’ve taken care of a variety of dogs for as long as I can remember! From pit bulls to poodles. I currently have a German shepherd husky mix and she is the sweetest, gets along great with other dogs. I’m not currently working so I’m fully available to house sit and/or walk your animals as often as you need. I love dogs and cats! I currently live in an apartment with my doggie, kitty, and two year old son. He loves helping me feed our pets and take them outside to play and go on walks. We have a small fenced dog park in our apartment complex. We go there often. But I prefer to care for your pets in your home where they are comfortable. I’m unfortunately not allowed to have other pets in my home.
“Carly did an excellent job house sitting and caring for our two dogs and two cats over a long weekend. Carly was responsive and professional. Would highly recommend and I intend on booking again with Carly in the future!”
“Karissa was an incredible pet sitter. Very responsive, sent lots of updates and cared well for my elderly dogs. I would highly recommend her. Very thankful we found her!”
About: I feel like that animals are just drawn to me! I feel like that I am very gentle around all animals and able to give them the attention they need. I do work nearby and could even pop in after work on week nights! But I’m mostly available all day on Tuesday, Friday and Saturdays! I am in an apartment and there is a large dog park across from where I live and there is a large complex to walk around and pond.
About: Growing up in Rural America afforded me the opportunity to begin caring for and developing a passion for animals at an early age that has carried into adulthood. I intentionally avoid “overbooking” ensuring your pet receives all of the love and care necessary in your absence. Individualized care and attention are the highest priorities. Separation anxiety is real among dogs. I’m here to ensure you fur babies receive all of the love and attention required while you’re away. Whether it’s vacation or work related, I’ve got you covered!
About: I have had taken care of/lived with various dog breeds, and have walked and raised dogs since I can remember. I recently began volunteering at Alaqua walking and playing with dogs, and I have experience dog sitting and walking my neighbors dogs. I have worked with puppies, middle aged dogs, older dogs, both big and small! I love dogs unconditionally and I will do everything in my power to ensure they stay spoiled and happy :). I work part-time closing shifts at my job, so I am available for early mornings and late nights. I work whenever I am scheduled, but I am always off on Wednesdays! My normal shift is normally 4pm-10pm, so I am available to dog sit, check-in, or walk before and after my shift! I cannot care for pets at my own home, but I will ensure that when I come to your home, I will keep it looking good as new. I am a chronic dish washer if any dishes or slight cleaning needs to be made. I am also no stranger to accidents that dogs are prone to, as one of my past dogs had a sensitive stomach, especially when it came to my carpeted floors. I will do whatever your dog wants to do, but my favorite aspect of it all is to ensure that the dog is happy and to make a connection with them. I love being active and playing, but I can also just simply snuggle up with them.
About: Being a pet caregiver I will provide attentive and loving care to your pets while you're away. My role will include feeding and ensuring their health and safety, as well as offering companionship through play and interaction. As a great pet caregiver I understand the unique personalities of cats & dogs, can recognize their needs, and will create a comfortable environment to keep them happy and stress-free. With my part-time job giving me a flexible schedule, your pet & I will take leisurely strolls and indulge in some tasty snacks whenever we can. Rest assured, I’ll take care of all your pets’ needs with the utmost dedication and love! I will be attentive and make sure they're comfortable in their space while you're gone.
“Jessica was such a refreshing change! Porter loved her and she also left the house cleaner than when I left. My pup is a very spoiled/particular child and she listened to his needs and met them all. Thank you Jessica and welcome to the family. We will rebook with you again very soon!”
About: I’ve owned a few dogs growing up and I took care of feeding, bathing, and walking them every day and walks were every other day. I’m off work usually by 3:00-3:30, Monday through Friday but have weekends off. Your fur babies are welcome into our home whenever a play date is scheduled or if you need a weekend get away I’m more than happy to come to your home to take care of them. Their comfortability is my #1 priority. I make sure while I am at the owners home I either take their dog(s) on a walk or if there’s a yard go outside and play for 30-40 min to get the zoomies out; then go back inside, feed and relax, outside break one more time before I leave.

She is the absolute best sitter!!!! I don't leave my dogs often and usually have only left them with family...but wanted to take vacation. My dogs absolutely loved Heather and I enjoyed seeing them being their doggie self while I was on my vacation. She is a true blessing and I had no stress knowing they were spoiled and in good hands! We have found our furever fam and will only have her watch our dogs when we go away! 🐾 ❤️

FAQs for House Sitting - Sunnyside
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Sunnyside on Rover is $71.39 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 257 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Sunnyside. 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 Sunnyside 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 Sunnyside 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 Sunnyside 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 Sunnyside. On Rover:
- 100% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 100% 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.
