“Brandy is amazing and stellar beyond all expectations. We had reserved her to house-sit when that terrible ice storm hit. She was so flexible and reliable, and took care of our house and four pets (three elderly, one needing medication) during the aftermath of this storm. We are ecstatic to have found such a competent, caring sitter, and will not hesitate to book her again.”
“This was my first Pet Sitter experience with Bradley and what I think stands out the most to me about Bradley is that he genuinely cared about and for our dog, Huxley, while we were away. I know a lot of people say that they love animals, but you could see the authenticity in Bradley as he greeted and played with Huxley. I highly recommend Bradley”


“Kaylee did an amazing job with our pets! She is a great communicator and sent pictures a few times during her brief housesit. We really appreciate her and would gladly have her stay again!”

“Connie is very kind and patient with our dog Rue. Being a senior dog, he comes with many needs that other dogs do not. She took everything in stride and gave him lots of love & attention. We received many updates throughout the day which helps if you’re feeling anxious about leaving your pet. We highly recommend her.”

“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.”

“Sandor is an absolute dream sitter! He’s very responsive and friendly, took care of fur babies and our home, and he found ways to go above and beyond, exceeding our expectations. He’s by far the best sitter we’ve ever had on this site and we’ll certainly check his availability first the next time we need a sitter. 10/10 recommend!”

“Outstanding! Kelly is professional and caring. We have 2 Boxers and not everyone can handle their quirks and their strength but she handled them beautifully and we felt confident they were in great hands. She left our home spotless and we had 2 happy pups when we arrived home. We highly recommend Kelly!”

“Michael is an incredibly reliable and respectful pet sitter! He always leaves my place sparkling and spends a ton of time with my boy Apollo. He is also incredibly knowledgeable thanks to his experience working in a vet clinic. I will always recommend Michael!”

“Yulya provided good updates and pictures of our Luna girl while we were away. We knew Luna was in good hands and she treated our home with respect, leaving it clean and tidy for our return. I would definitely use Yulya again!”

“I've worked with several Rover sitters over the past few years and Annie is the absolute best so far! This was our first time having someone house sit as compared to boarding so I was a little nervous. Annie was attentive to details, did a meet and greet with Ivy a few weeks before, and again right before we left. Annie was very communicative throughout and gave us positive updates throughout. She also inquired proactively about things we may have not discussed to ensure she was on the same page. Within a few hours of us leaving, our pup was already showing signs of being comfortable which isn't easy as she has progressed from severe separation anxiety. When we came home, you'd hardly know Annie had stayed as she left our home just as she had found it. If you're looking for a reliable and compassionate sitter, Annie is your person!”


About: Hi there! I am a fear free certified Dog Trainer with a passion for animals of all sizes. Growing up, I had the opportunity to live with and care for a variety of animals including livestock, dogs, cats, pocket pets, aquatic animals, and more. In my free time, I cared for dogs and cats residing at the local animal shelters, providing them with loving attention and exercise. I have also fostered dogs and cats of all ages in my home providing them with a safe, loving, and enrichment-filled environment until they find their forever home. Throughout my stay, you can expect to receive daily updates covering their activities and overall well-being. This can include written updates, photos, or short clips of their daily activities. I am skilled at administering medications as needed and can provide specialized care for your pets. I follow your daily routine strictly and provide mental stimulation for both cats and dogs to ensure the smoothest transition until you return. I look forward to meeting you and thank you for your time! I am currently providing pet care and training fulltime so I will be able to provide your pet with my full attention throughout their stay. They will be cared for as if they were my own. I will follow the routine your pet is used to and be sure to provide extra love and attention to help them settle in comfortably.
About: I've grown up with dogs and other animals my entire life and have lots of experience with training and pet care. I have experience with large medium and small breeds including, boxers, huskies, cane corso's, Pomeranian's, french bulldogs, bully breeds, and great pyrenees. I've cared for dogs from puppy to late adulthood, as well as adult rescues. I recently graduated from OSU and am looking to fill my free time. I'm available every day of the week with enough notice in advance. I will treat your pet as if they are my own. I have also used Rover for finding sitters for my own dogs, so I value trust and safety when concerning pets. Any specific care instructions for your pet, I am more than happy to oblige.
“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!”

About: What sets me apart is my background in both veterinary medicine and animal behavior. I have over 4 years of hands-on experience working in veterinary settings with pets of all ages, temperaments, and medical needs, including anxious, senior, and high-energy animals. As a Zoology student at Oregon State University, I’m especially passionate about understanding animal behavior and making sure pets feel comfortable, enriched, and safe while in my care. I also have experience handling medications, monitoring health and behavior changes, and providing patient, individualized care for every pet. I am also very active and am always looking for a running partner who would like some good exercise and fun! I’m currently a part-time student and work part-time at the Boys & Girls Club of Corvallis, but I have a lot of weekend availability and flexibility throughout the week. I’m available for dog walks, pet sitting, drop-in check-ins, and general pet care, and I’m happy to work with each family’s schedule and routine! I love staying active and creating a good balance between playtime, exercise, and cuddle time. My current house doesn’t allow animals, but I have reliable transportation and would be happy to take your pet on walks, hikes, or to explore new parks if that’s something they enjoy. I’m active enough to keep up with high-energy dogs or cats, while also being patient and calm with pets who prefer a slower pace and plenty of downtime.
About: I have been caring for my friends and neighbors pets since middle school. I have also had experience volunteering at the Humane Society in both the dogs and cat departments. I also have experience with blind pets if needed. I am a full time student at George Fox University! I am available any time Tuesdays and Saturdays. As well as Monday through Sunday Evenings. I will always ensure, no matter the setting, your animals will always be protected and safe. This means your animal will never be put into an area unsafe or where something could happen.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Tangent is $44 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $32 and $44 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 1,105 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 , 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.
