“Kaya has been excellent with our dogs. Always punctual and polite and our new puppy loves her despite generally being very nervous. Kaya has a gentle spirit, good energy as soon as you meet her.”
“2nd time booking with Lisa and it was a great experience again! She stayed for a week at our house with our 2 dogs. She was reliable, communicative, friendly, and took care of the dogs and our house. She took the dogs on daily walks and I loved all the pictures she sent.”
“Tara did a fantastic job on a rather unusual assignment that I had for her, which involved not only taking care of my adult dog and puppy at my house for three nights, but also taking care of my cousin’s puppy, also at my house during the same time, who had never previously met my dogs. She also had her own dog with her, making it a dog party of four! Everybody had a great time, and Tara sent us photos multiple times a day of the dogs playing and hanging out together. Will definitely be calling her again soon for further jobs!”
“Brian and Katherine are both fantastic! My dogs love seeing them and I feel confident in their abilities to look after them well. They are great with communication and super reliable. I wouldn't hesitate to use them for a second.”
About: I’ve cared for dogs of all kinds for over 15 years, living on Case Inlet 1.5 acre beach house property with a private beach. I provide beachside walks, feeding, bathing, and loving attention Working from home gives me a flexible routine, so pet care fits in seamlessly. I’m available for boarding and sitting weekdays and weekends, ensuring your pet gets my full attention. My Case Inlet home has a fenced yard, perfect for safe play. I’m attentive, can crate if needed, and keep pets comfy—whether at my place or yours!
“Branden is fantastic! He totally understands it’s hard to leave your pets. He came over to meet us (and the pups) before we needed to travel, asked good questions, and set our minds at ease. While we where gone, he texted and sent loads of photos. Our dogs adore him. We will be booking him again soon!”
“Cely and Jordan took amazing care of Ruby and our house while we were out of the country for a week. We appreciated their regular communication through the app because we didn't have cell service, and when we got back Ruby was clearly comfortable with them and being her playful self. They also watered our yard to keep our plants alive and left the house tidy. We'd recommend them to anyone and would definitely work with them again!”
About: I have a wide range of experience, from dogs and cats to exotic animals including amphibians and reptiles. Ive done farmwork and can care for other livetock while you're on vacation as well! I love spending time with animals of all kinds and have about 8 years of experience. I have a very flexible schedule to provide frequent potty breaks, come over at priority times for walks, and make sure your animals are getting what they need! I usually do three major potty breaks and two long walks a day unless otherwise requested. Two meals unless otherwise specified! Im flexible to the needs of your pets
About: I’ve helped raised 10 dogs: 2 samoyds, 2 golden retrievers, 2 labs, a border collie, a Dobermann, a Bernese mountain dog, and a chihuahua. I also was a door to door and pizza delivery man who Interacted with every type of dog as a stranger entering their territory. I’ve been in multiple threatening positions and have a lot of confidence from that. I can read demeanor very well. My most recent partner and I ended things and she took the dogs. Sad country song in the making lol. I find this therapeutic and isn’t just a side hustle. I genuinely love all dogs and it helps me just as much as helping you. I work from home as an insurance broker. I will shape my schedule around the dogs. I can also work anywhere so it allows me to travel to you as well. I have a fenced back yard with locks on the gate. My office is in the back yard with a big window for me to see them. I am an active dog watcher who goes with the flow of what the owner requests. I do not like leaving them alone ever. If I come to your house I will not have any guests over and I always give active updates.
“We just finished our second house/pet sitting long weekend with Dominique and I'm so thankful to have found her here! She takes such great care of our golden retriever, keeps me updated with photos and all throughout her time at our house, and is a pleasure to work with. We are already booking another long weekend with her when we will be out of town. Thank you so much Dominique!”
“Elizabeth cared for our old man cat and our home for 8 days while we were in Alaska. She gave him oral meds every other day and supervised him in the garden when it was sunny. She also went above and beyond and helped us manage the ever-falling apples in our backyard each evening. Elizabeth was super communicative throughout her stay and sent us regular updates and photos of our fur baby. We returned home to a clean house and a happy cat. We 100% recommended booking pet-care services with Elizabeth.”
About: I’ve been a mom to small dogs most my adult life. I currently have a chill 7 lb shih tzu mix that would love company on our two daily walks. I work part-time and am never away for more than 4 hours. (Often my college age son is home when I’m out) I’ve taken care of very young pups as well as older dogs requiring medications and special diets. I’m responsible and loving, doing my best to keep pups content while their people are away. I’m communicative and responsive and provide daily pupdates. I work two to three days a week for no more than 4 hours, so I’m home a lot. I have a 7 year-old shih tzu mix that I walk twice a day so I have a good routine established. My college age son lives with me and is super helpful and responsible. Generally if I’m out, he’s home to give extra potty breaks and belly rubs. My back yard is quite big and securely fenced-lots of room for sniffing! My house is cozy and comfortable-I’m happy to have pups on my lap on the couch and in my bed for the night. I do host up to 3 dogs at a time and have a small pup of my own, so I ask that your dog is well socialized.
“This is the second time that Heather has watched Leo. She is fantastic. When I come home I notice little things that she did but was not asked of her. For example, she cleaned and filled up Leo’s water bowl that was outside. She folded up the hose that was a mess outside. Cleaned the floors. Little things like this are appreciated but not expected.”
“Winnie and her boys took great care of our two needy dogs and our home while we were away for nearly two weeks. We came home to happy, loved pets and a very clean house. We really appreciated her communication throughout our trip and her patience with our dogs' adjustment to the new experience. Thank you, Winnie!”
About: I’ve had various types of pets since I was a kid. I love taking care of animals and getting to hang out with them.

I can pet-sit overnight most days of the week :) I have a medium/large fenced yard, which is perfect for playing fetch in! I also go on walks regularly around my neighborhood and would love to take your pets with me :)
“Natalie is amazing! She has been watching our pitbull every Monday for the last month or so and we always come home to a happy and well-cared for puppy. She’s very relaxed and sweet, easy to trust, and most importantly loves Peony. We love having her over and would recommend her to anyone!”
About: I grew up in a large dog loving family. In adulthood, nothing has changed. Our family are all dog lovers. We will be available Monday to Friday and on the weekends as well to take care of your dog/dogs. We have a large house and a big yard that is fenced. Typically, your dog will go home tired from playing with the other dogs, walks around the neighborhood and playing catch in our large turfed backyard. Watching your dog for boarding or daycare is my full time job. Plus, my wife and three kids love dogs and help out as well. We have a large house and fenced yard.

FAQs for House Sitting - Tahuya
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 1,735 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Tahuya. 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 Tahuya 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 Tahuya 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 Tahuya 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 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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.

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.
