“Mia was wonderful to work with. She was patient and gentle with Arya and communicated to us the whole trip. Our girl doesn't like just anyone and it was clear she was very comfortable with Mia. Additionally, she was flexible to add a other booking last minute for us. We will definitely book with her in the future!”

“Jina took care of our dog and home for 2 weeks while we were out of town. She was amazing. Our pup was well cared for and I so appreciated her daily updates and photos. Jina gave our dog his daily medication, took care of our plants, brought in mail/packages and cleaned up after our pup who likes to bring food across the floor. I highly recommend her and will be looking to use her services again in the future!”

“Lauren was fantastic when getting prepped to come and stay at my place to watch Marley and Risotto. She asked great questions about expectations and timing. She scheduled a meet and greet first to make sure we would be a good fit and was prompt. She communicated any changes needed to the booking with advanced notice which gave me time to make adjustments. She coordinated with the dogs' regular dog walker and with me throughout the stay! Highly recommend!”

“Brianna was a delightful young lady! She came a few days before house sitting, (which was booked a bit last minute), for our dog to do a meet & greet- our dog lover her! We came back to an orderly house & a happy dog. My 4 rating is just because we only got 1 picture the entire weekend.”

About: With over 20 years of experience caring for multiple cats, I’ve developed a deep understanding of feline behavior, needs, and personalities. I currently share my home with two female cats Daisy and Lucy. I’ve nurtured cats from kittenhood through their senior years, providing loving, attentive care every step of the way. While I’m a lifelong cat owner, I also have a genuine love for dogs and enjoy spending time with them just as much, whether it’s going for walks, playing fetch, or simply giving them the affection they crave. I’m actively working toward a dog training certificate to further strengthen my skills and knowledge. I treat every pet as if they were my own, ensuring they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine, especially since I work from home full-time. This flexibility allows me to give pets consistent attention, regular feedings, playtime, and any needed care throughout the day. Whether it's scheduled walks, medication, or just some extra cuddle time, I'm able to be present and responsive to each pet’s needs. It's truly a joy to incorporate caring for animals into my everyday life. Whether in my home or a client’s home, I provide pets with a safe, comfortable, and loving environment. I follow each pet’s routine closely, feeding schedules, exercise, medication, and playtime, to ensure consistency and reduce stress. In a client’s home, I respect their space and routines, making sure pets feel secure in their familiar environment. In my home, I create a cozy, pet-friendly space with plenty of affection, supervision, and enrichment. My goal is always to keep pets happy, healthy, and cared for just like they’re my own.

About: With 13+ years of hands-on dog care, I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes, personalities, and energy levels. As a proud owner of an XL doodle and a dachshund, I understand that every dog has unique needs. I’m patient, attentive, active, and genuinely passionate about making every pup feel safe, loved, and comfortable while in my care. What sets me apart is the personal attention and genuine love I bring to every dog, treating them like they’re part of my own family. I’m currently working part time as a marketing assistant. I work in the office from 9am to 4:30pm on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays! With a car and living close by to work it’s easy for me to do quick drop ins and walks for local pup owners! Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. Whether caring for your dog in my home or in yours, I provide a calm, clean, and welcoming environment where they can feel comfortable and cared for. I follow each pet’s routine, pay close attention to their needs and behavior, and make sure they receive plenty of supervision, attention, exercise, and affection. As a longtime dog owner myself, I understand how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member. I’ll treat your pet with the same patience, care, and love I give my own dogs.

Michele was fabulous with Rusty, Gia, and Lily. She speaks both cat and dog fluently, and they wound up bonding her almost immediately. She even let the Italian Greyhound, Gia, sleep under the covers with her! She provided ample cuddle time throughout the day, as well. We really appreciated the steady updates and pics, especially since we are fairly new to leaving our pets with a sitter. We highly recommend Michele and hope to have her sit again!

I get the sense Orrin cares about our dog and house as much as we do--when we leave and Orrin house/dog sits, we know we will come home to a happy dog and well-kept house. Good communication, takes great care of our dog, and we love the regular updates. We have used Orrin's services several times, and we have come to trust Orrin like family.

We rebook Jony anytime we can…his care for our animals (dog, cat, chinchilla, and fish) and communication to us is exceptional. We recently adopted a new cat and his expertise helped us learn a few new things. We have booked him for staying at our home as well as daily drop-ins. Would highly recommend Jony.

Ivan took such great care of my dogs while I was out of town, and I truly felt at ease knowing they were with him! From the start, he was communicative, responsible, and clearly experienced with dogs. He made the effort to understand their routines and personalities, which meant a lot to me. While I was away, he kept me updated with pictures and made sure they were comfortable, safe, and well cared for. When I picked them up, they were happy, relaxed, and clearly had been treated with patience and kindness. It’s not easy to leave your dogs behind, but Ivan made the whole experience stress-free. I’m really grateful for the care he gave them! Highly recommend!

I cannot say enough good things about Mary. She stayed at our home while caring for our dog and my son’s cat, and she took exceptional care of both of them. From the start, Mary was friendly, engaging, and genuinely wonderful to work with. She clearly loves animals, and it showed in every interaction. Mary kept us completely at ease by sending pictures and regular updates, which meant so much to us while we were away. Our pets were happy, relaxed, and clearly adored her, and our home was well cared for as well. It is such a relief to find someone you can fully trust, and Mary is exactly that person. I would 100 percent recommend Mary to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and attentive pet sitter. We will absolutely be using Mary again. If you need a pet sitter, look no further. Mary is truly the best.

FAQs for House Sitting - Travilah

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of House Sitting in Travilah is $46 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $33 and $107 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 10,359 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Travilah. 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 Travilah 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 Travilah 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.

<b>Tip:</b> 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 Travilah 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Travilah. On Rover:

  • 86% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 91% 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.
