“Caitlin took such great care of our little Leo! She is an excellent communicator and provided updates on how Leo was doing during her stay. She also took great care of our home. We look forward to having Caitlin back to take care of Leo again!”
“Karina was great. Very communicative, offered a meet-and-greet before booking the stay, and sent lot's of images and videos throughout the stay. She went above and beyond in sending overviews of her walks and extra videos. Came home to a happy and healthy pup, clean house, and would definitely use her again.”
About: I have 3 dogs 2 cats and 2 fish. I love animals i'm taking care of them. I would have more if my husband allowed! I am a full-time mom who does home school. So doing this part time would be amazing for my family. I also love pets and meeting new animals. So that would be the best part. I have a huge backyard that's is fenced in. I also have 3 friendly dogs and two cats that would be glad to keep any pet entertained
“I am so grateful I found Michael to help take care of all my babies. Not only did he take incredible care of my large difficult dog, he also took great care of my bird, rabbit, and cat. He communicated well, sent pictures, and everything was perfect when I returned.”
“Sherry was a fantastic house and dog sitter. She communicated clearly and consistently throughout the stay, which gave us a lot of peace of mind while we were away. We especially appreciated the daily photo updates—seeing our dogs happy and relaxed made it much easier to be gone. Our home was well cared for, and the dogs were clearly comfortable and well looked after. We would absolutely recommend Sherry to others and would be happy to book with her again in the future.”
“Second time booking Cassandra and we are so thankful for her thoughtful care, know that our pups are in good hands while we are gone. We got pictures and updates daily. Would recommend to anyone! Thank you Cassandra!!”
“Mackenzie was FANTASTIC! She took our dogs out for activities (hiking, walking) several times each week. She sent us pictures of the dogs about 3 times per week, just to update us that everything was going well. The dogs loved her and seemed to be happy and content when we got home from our trip. She also took good care of our house including washing the sheets and cleaning up prior to her departure. We would absolutely use Mackenzie again in the future. She was great!!!”
“Leslie is a wonderful dog sitter! She took great care of our two Giant Breed dogs. I really appreciated how she kept us up to date with photos and notes. The dogs loved her and we look forward to having her sit again!”
“Kelly did an amazing job looking after our home and 3 pups! She was extremely responsive and based on the photos, our boys really loved her company! Would highly recommend and plan to book again!”
“She sent multiple daily updates and pictures, the telling thing was she was able to get our shy kitty to not only come out from under the bed but downstairs and rub on her leg. Any cat people will understand how huge that is!!!❤️❤️?”
“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.”
“Yonah was incredible with our dog Bonnie! I got lots of photo updates which I love and Bonnie has never been so content and relaxed after a visit with the sitter. We can’t wait to rebook her again!”
“Cassie was great with our doggos and not only kept them company, but exercised and fed to their content! It was so nice knowing they were in good hands and being cared for so well. We will definitely use her again in the future!”
“Christy saved my vacation and gave my pup a wonderful Christmas. She’s very communicative, before, during, and after the sit, making sure everything is all set and you have a comfortable time away, confident your pet is being well taken care of. She’s very flexible and goes above and beyond for your pet’s health and happiness!”
About: 🐾 NOW ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS 🐾 Premium 1-on-1 overnight care, midday drop-ins, and private walks tailored entirely to your small dog's routine. ☀️ Daytime Availability: Monday through Sunday, 10 AM to 4 PM, for dedicated dog walking and drop-in visits. 🏡 Overnight Care: Around-the-clock pet sitting hosted right inside your own home, so your baby stays safe, stress-free, and fully cared for while you travel. 🛡️ Fully insured and bonded for your peace of mind. 💛 For twelve years, I cared for my own little Pomeranian, Zo, twelve pounds of pure love. I cooked his meals, bathed him, groomed his coat, and gave him endless cuddles. As he grew older, I learned to care for him as a senior dog too, keeping up with his medication schedule and slowing our walks to match what his body needed. That season of my life taught me patience, gentleness, and compassion, and how to truly listen to what a small dog needs, even when they can't tell you in words. 🐶 I care for small dogs 20 lbs and under because I understand them in a way that only comes from years of loving one. When you leave your pup with me, I want you to feel confident they're somewhere warm, safe, and loved exactly like family. I respond quickly and keep my scheduling flexible, because I know how much it matters to reach your sitter when you need to. 🩺 For extra safety and peace of mind, I am Pet CPR & First Aid certified. ✨ Your little one deserves someone they can trust, someone who makes them feel safe and loved. Message me today to book a virtual meet and greet, where we'll talk through your pup's routine and needs before we meet in person. 🐾 Pet care is my business, and it's where I put my time and heart. My days tend to start slow and unrushed, which means when I'm with your pup, I'm fully present, not rushing or squeezing them into a chaotic day. This is especially true for overnight stays. When I'm caring for your pup overnight in the comfort of your own home, they're not one of many, they're the priority of my day and night. I like to get a workout in and enjoy the day at my own pace, but that time is built around your pup's routine, not the other way around. Since this is my main focus, I'm able to be flexible and responsive to what you and your pup need. Whether I'm there for a quick drop-in, a walk, or an overnight stay, your home and your pup's safety come first, every time. I treat your space with the same care and respect I'd want in my own home; doors and gates stay secure, your pup's routine stays consistent, and nothing about your home is disrupted while you're away. For walks and drop-ins, I follow the schedule and instructions you give me closely, feeding times, potty breaks, medication, and any little quirks your pup has. I always double-check leashes and gates before heading out, since small dogs can be quick, and I never let my guard down on a walk. For overnight stays, I settle in gently and keep things calm and familiar for your pup, sticking to their normal routine as closely as possible so they feel secure even with you away. I'm happy to help with oral medications and topical treatments, following any care instructions you provide closely. At this time, I'm not able to administer injectable medications. I am fully insured and bonded, as well as CPR & Pet First Aid certified, so if anything unexpected comes up, I'm prepared to handle it calmly. You'll always know your pup is safe, cared for, and loved like family, in the place they feel most comfortable: home.
“Jack did a wonderful job taking care of Fen and Eddie during the 7 days and night we were in DC for Thanksgiving. He got along well with the dogs, sent us updates and pictures and communicated nicely. The house was spotless when we got home. What a nice relief! 5 stars! We will use Jack again when we travel.”
“Dafne was amazing with my 8 year old Great Dane! Mac can be timid and slow to warm up and her calm demeanor and patience had him warmed up in no time. They had a wonderful weekend together and I got so many picture updates. 🥰 I’d love to have Dafne stay with my guy again and would recommend her to anyone!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Tumalo is $64 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $32 and $83 per night.

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 , 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.
