“Brandy house and dog sat for us, and I absolutely recommend her to anyone! She is incredibly kind, communicative, reliable, and great with our old senior pup. She sent us pupdates and pictures and I never felt nervous about leaving Birdie with her, plus she left the house absolutely spotless on our return! I will absolutely book her again for future dog visits or house sits. Thank you Brandy!!!”
“Whitney did a great job caring for our two small dogs and providing daily photos of the dogs looking well cared for and loved. Whitney returned to our home beyond her scheduled time to care for our dogs as our flight was delayed. This was much appreciated and went above and beyond her commitment.”
“Elizabeth is very responsive. She took great care of my nervous pup and cat on short notice. She left the house cleaner than it was when she arrived, I think! We've already booked our next sit with Elizabeth and I look forward to having great peace of mind while we are gone.”
“Ashley took great care of my cat while I was away, including handling her medication and giving her lots of brushing and attention. She was very responsive in setting up the meet-and-greet and attentive to all instructions. She also left the guest room tidy and handled other details like putting out the trash can for pickup. I very much appreciate Ashley's help!”
“Jaedyn has home-sat our 3 little dogs twice now and can’t say enough good things about him. Most importantly, I know I can feel confident in their safety. He’s super fast to communicate and punctual. And also, this is a person who the dogs really just love to see. A++”
“This was our first time using Rover and Emily was great! She spent two nights at our house and with our dog Finn. She stayed in contact and assured us that he was doing good. This made us feel very confident in our choice to use this app and we will definitely be contacting Emily again the next time we plan a trip or a short excursion.”
“Kaitlyn was absolutely the best! She was very respectful, responsive and caring. Our dog is older and needy, and Kaitlyn was patient and kind with her. Apparently the cats loved her too! I would recommend Kaitlyn without reservation. It is refreshing to find someone so responsible and trustworthy to care for our pets and home. We just moved to Canyon Lake and we were worried about finding a reliable pet sitter. We feel that we hit the jackpot with Kaitlyn!”
“Alyssa stayed the weekend with my labs at my house and I am so grateful for her help and respect of my home/schedule with the labs. She sent some pics to update me on the pups and was a great communicator. Came home to a house as clean as I left it and very happy labs. Would definitely recommend!”
“Kayla does a great job caring for my home and animals while we are away. She gives the dogs lots of attention and makes sure they get time to go out and play. She makes sure my cat gets snuggle time too. I love the updates and pictures she sends too!”
“Nicole has been such an amazing sitter we went to seven feathers for my grandma’s birthday and she just amazes me she is just the best person to have at ur house watch your animals I would recommend her to anybody!! I’m so happy I never had to get a pet sitter but we were just blown away with her and her service the way she just handled everything was amazing! 100/100 couldn’t be happier with her service!! 🥰🥰🥰❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ she’s just so uplifting and has such great energy thank you Nicole for everything”
“McKenna was amazing! This was my first time leaving my pups home for the weekend and having someone come house sit. McKenna helped put my mind at ease when we did the meet and greet. One of my pups left an unexpected surprise (my pup threw a tantrum and destroyed a furniture) for McKenna and she was so nice and cleaned it up for me. I came home to happy pups and I would recommend her. I’d have her back!”
About: I believe every animal is someone's loved one and a cherished part of the family. That's why I treat every animal I meet with the same love and care I'd want for my own. Whether I’m stopping by to keep your loved one company or taking them on a hike with me for an adventure, I promise to keep your family member safe, happy and loved! I’ve taken care of many types of animals as I grew up on a ranch with many dogs, cats, horses, chickens and goats around. I have trained numerous dogs throughout my childhood and have loved every single one along the way. I have pet sat for many family members and friends, keeping the pets routine the same in order to make them comfortable and happy. I now have my own tabby kitten that I’m obsessed with, which my partner and I are currently trying to adventure train. I am currently writing my Master’s thesis and working from home so I have a lot of flexibility on when I work. I can make my own hours and work around when you need me! I’ll adapt to however you need help with your pet, since I have helped with so many types of animals, I know they all have their own unique personalities and quirks. I’ll follow your lead on how to care for your animal!
“Kelly went so above and beyond with our animals, we are so grateful we found her! She spent time with each and every one of our animals making sure they all felt comfortable. We won’t be going with any other sitter if we can help it in the future.”
“Paula sent us pictures of our pup while we were away which we loved. Our house was clean and in order when we got home. We have booked with Paula before and she has always been great!”
“Christine was amazing with our dog and 2 cats. I received photos and/or videos every day and it was clear they were very well taken care of! She left the house neat and clean, and I would use her again in a minute! I highly recommend her, she was great.”
“Teri did a great job taking care of our animals while we were gone. We received many pictures of them over the weekend and never wondered or felt worried about how they were doing. She left our house just as clean and it was when she got there. We'll definitely be booking with her again!”
“Alexandra was great with our high energy pup and our two indoor cats. She stayed in our home for a week while we traveled internationally. She gave great updates, helped around the house, and sent pictures frequently. We will definitely use her again and recommend her highly!”
About: Hello there! I'm a PhD student at OSU with a passion for animals and a background in understanding their emotions, as reflected in my honors thesis on companion animals. With over 6 years of dedicated cat sitting and dog walking experience, I've become a trusted companion for many furry friends in Corvallis & Philomath. I take pride in my long-term relationships with clients, providing reliable and caring services. Whether it's walking reactive dogs, taking care of cats with big personalities, or handling multiple dogs at once (3+), I approach each situation with patience, understanding, and a genuine love for our four-legged friends. Previously, I worked as a rehab tech at a local stable, where I assisted horses in their rehabilitation journey. I have also worked with animals who required medications or had special needs. These experiences have honed my ability to adapt to different needs and personalities, ensuring a positive and stress-free experience for both pets and their owners. I'm not just a pet caregiver; I'm a friendly, experienced, and trustworthy companion for your pets. Let's create a paw-sitive experience for your furry family members! As a PhD student, my time is flexible! I love spending time with animals and helping owners feel comfortable leaving their pets. I can be flexible, so just let me know what works best for you and your pet(s)! Ensuring the well-being of your pet is my top priority, and I strive to create a seamless experience whether caring for them in my home or yours. To align with your pet's established routine, I'll discuss and familiarize myself with the training cues you use. This ensures that I maintain consistency and reinforce the behaviors that are important to you and your pet. Additionally, I take proactive measures to address potential emergencies. I'll walk you through my emergency protocol, covering all essential aspects to guarantee a comprehensive and well-prepared approach. Open communication and careful consideration of your pet's unique needs are fundamental to my care philosophy, providing you with peace of mind while your furry friend is in my care.
About: I have had dogs and pets my entire life and have years of hands-on experience caring for animals of all ages and personalities. In addition to caring for my own pets, I have previous dog-sitting experience and genuinely love spending time with dogs. I am especially comfortable with senior dogs, as my own dog is 17 years old, so I understand the patience, attention, and extra care older dogs may need. Whether it’s going on walks, playing, sticking to routines, or simply keeping pets company, I truly enjoy making animals feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I treat every pet like they are my own and love getting to know each dog’s unique personality. As a college student, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to pet care throughout the week. My classes are limited to Tuesdays from 11 AM–12 PM and 4 PM–5 PM, and Thursdays from 11 AM–12 PM, which leaves me available for morning, afternoon, evening, and overnight care most days. I am able to work pet care easily into my daily routine and enjoy spending my free time with animals, whether that means walks, playtime, feeding, companionship, or providing extra attention for senior pets and pets with specific needs. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets, and I strive to create a calm, safe, and loving environment where they feel comfortable and cared for. I pay close attention to routines, feeding schedules, medications, and each pet’s individual needs to make sure they are happy and secure while you are away. I am especially patient with senior pets and understand the extra care and attentiveness they may require. I also believe in keeping pet owners updated with communication and photos so you can feel confident knowing your pet is in good hands.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Tangent on Rover is $44.4 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 1,127 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Tangent. 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 Tangent 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 Tangent 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 Tangent 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 Tangent. On Rover:
- 97% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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.
