“So glad we found Kaili. We have a very nervous/anxious pup who takes a long time to warm up to a new person. Kaili was very patient with him and gave us honest updates. She went above and beyond with doing cleaning and laundry. Felt very safe trusting her with both our house and our fur baby!”
“My dog Maya can take a little bit to warm up to people. But Cassie had a calm and kind demeanor and Maya loved her when they first met. I never had to worry. Cassie is great at communicating and sending me updates. I already booked her for my next trip.”
“This was my first time using Rover. Abbey was awesome with my little dog Max! I came home and he was healthy, happy & relaxed. She did a great job communicating with me during her stay & the house was clean when I came home. I will definitely use her again!”
“Karina was great with my dog! Her communication was always quick and she was willing to cater to all my dogs needs over the weekend. Super professional and responsible! Highly recommend!”
“Our dogs and cats were well cared for! She house/pet sat for us. She had a checklist to make sure she provided proper care from scooping the litter box to snuggling each pet every day! We will definitely be using her again for our next trip”
“My dogs and cat loved him from the first meeting. I arrived home to find all my animals alive, healthy, & well fed. My house was also in excellent condition. This was my 1st experience using Rover and I am completely happy with David.”
“Lora recently watched my elderly dog who can be a bit anxious. I am happy to say all went well and it was so nice to come home to a calm dog and clean house. Lora administered needed meds and took great care of my house and flowers by watering them daily. She was very communicative which I deeply appreciated with questions, updates, and lots of pictures.”
“Sarah was our first non-family pet/house sitter. It couldn’t have been any easier for us. Sarah communicated thoughtfully and often. Our house was clean and our dogs were loved. We appreciate her and will definitely book her again!”
“Payten was amazing with my five month old kitten! I was nervous about leaving him for 8 days over the holiday but he seemed to do just fine from the messages and photos Payten sent me while she was house sitting. I will defiantly utilize her again if the opportunity comes up!”
“Would highly recommend Michael! His daily updates and pictures gave us peace of mind during our trip. He was patient with our rambunctious 7 month old boxer puppy and even got him crate trained for us! We will definitely use him again going forward.”
“Meredith did a great job house sitting our two std poodles . She was open to take them on off leash walks ( as per our request ) and was excellent on prompt text communication . We would def hire her again!”
“Colton was a great dog sitter! He was kind and responsible when it came to caring for our somewhat challenging dog. He left our house in great shape and kept us updated throughout his stay.”
“Stella was amazing!! When I was held up by several hours she went above and beyond to go back and let May out again! She was super caring and May was very happy with her. Thank you!”
“We had Rachel stay with our 3 dogs, 2 cats and outdoor wildlife for almost 3 weeks. I was a bit concerned since our “kids” have never been watched by anyone except family. Plus, since Covid, they have had the pleasure of having “Mom and Dad” home 24/7. When we got home, we were greeted with lots of barking and wagging tails. Everyone was so happy! Even the cats came out to greet us, which rarely happens after a trip. This tells me that everyone had a good time and was well cared for, with no trauma from our absence . The outdoor animals came to the yard at their usual feeding time and the bird feeders were filled. It was as if we had never left our home at all! Rachel clearly made everyone feel safe secure and comfortable. What a joy to see! Our house was clean and Rachel even changed the sheets since she knew that we would not arrive home until well past midnight and would want to roll right into bed. Everything was tidy and in its place. I am so happy with the care that was given to my home and our menagerie. I am very pleased with Rachel and am extremely happy that she will be sitting for us again in the near future. I could not have found a better house/pet sitter for my gang.”
“Madison was absolutely fantastic! Our first experience with Rover.com and we will definitely use it again. Madison was punctual, fleixble, and great with our dogs. She made this Christmas trip the best ever! I would recommend her to anyone who wants the best care for their furry family members. Thanks Madison!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Tumalo
Stacey was great and cared for our crew with plenty of attention, patience for a cat that goes inside/outside quite a bit, play, and pets. It was great to receive text and photo updates clearly showing that our cats were comfortable with her being with them. She even graciously let them sleep on her jacket once they laid claim to it. Stacey was flexible, thoughtful, self-sufficient, and a wonderful house guest and sitter. Absolutely would book with her again. Thanks so much!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Tumalo on Rover is $61.91 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 652 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Tumalo. 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 Tumalo 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 Tumalo 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 Tumalo 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.

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.
