“Shelby was great! She was very attentive to Lucy and sent me photos and constant updates. My house was immaculate when she left. I definitely recommend her and will use her again!”
“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.”
“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!”
“Kelly took wonderful care of our three cats while we were away. She communicated frequently with updates, and our cats were very happy with her. We also came up to a spic and span house!”
“Anna was amazing as our dog sitter! She took such great care of our senior dog and our home while we were away. Anna confidently took care of everything, even some high maintenance feeding and walking requests. We felt at ease during our trip, knowing that we’d left our Hunter with a thoughtful and capable person. We look forward to hiring her again!”

“Heidi was an amazing care taker for my sweet pup! She provided lots of updates and took Piper on walks and adventures. She even allowed flexibility when my schedule had to change mid trip. I will definitely be working with Heidi again!”
“We have only ever had family watch our three crazy, anxiety ridden, special pups that need around the clock care.. so when a trip came up and we needed to find a sitter we went on the hunt for a pro. After hours reading reviews and several interviews we settled on booking Abbey. I have to say, my husband and I expected to be stressed out and worried the entire time we were gone but Abbey was AMAZING!! She even was able to take on our best friends lab for part of the stay. She never left them alone for longer than what we talked about, she followed all instructions and provided prompt and frequent updates. One of our pups even ended up having a little ear itching and she handled it just like I would have. Our house was taken care of, she even repotted an orchid after one of our dogs knocked over one of my pots. We also had a yard project going on that didn't get finished before we left so she had to deal with a contractor in the yard which the dogs didn't love. She is a true pro and we are SO happy to have found her and a forever trusted house sitter for our pack!! We will be booking her in the future.”
“Kaili was amazing! Super attentive, responsive, and punctual! She took great care of my dogs & kept me updated throughout my trip, which I really appreciated. She also took wonderful care of the house & I returned to clean sheets and bedding! Cannot recommend Kaili enough.”
“Jessi was great! She communicated well, took great care of our dog, and shared updates. She took Poppy on walks, played fetch, and asked great questions about Poppy’s care while we were out of town for a week. We can’t wait to have her back!”
“Selfishly hate to leave a good review in case Brian isn’t available for us next time, but he went above and beyond. Our pets were so well cared for, he sent updates and pictures of them out and about, and was proactive with issues that came up on our property. We’re grateful we found the perfect person”
“Cassandra did an outstanding job with our dog while we were on vacation. She provided pictures showing how comfortable and cared for our dog was while we were gone. Both my husband and I also noticed that our dog was calm and happy when we returned. We also agreed that our dog’s behavior had changed for the better! I definitely recommend Cassandra and we’ll use her again!”
“Benny is very particular with people, but he loved Lindsey! She went above and beyond. She housesat for me and took Benny for walks, washed the bedding, and sent me photos and updates! 10/10 recommend!”
“Emma came & went through the days, took Josie on walks and seemed to enjoy her stay at our home. Josie loved her from the minute they met, so we felt comfortable with the plan. We would be more than happy to hire her again.”
“Liza did such a great job with my dog and cat. We used Liza two times with both being over night stays. I will continue to use her every time I need a sitter. Liza left my home just like we left it and Taylor and Rusty were happy and content. Liza is easy going and very kind and is passionate with the pets she sits for. I highly recommend Liza.”
“Lauren did an amazing job with our cat and two dogs! She sent us photos and updates throughout our trip and ensured that everyone was well taken care of. Also, she was super pleasant to communicate with! Cannot recommend her enough!”

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!

FAQs for House Sitting - Tumalo
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Tumalo on Rover is $62.95 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 654 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Tumalo. On Rover:
- 99% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 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.
