Linda was fantastic! I have an older small dog (Bailey) who struggles with severe separation anxiety. Linda was unbelievably patience, taking things slow, making sure to reduce Bailey’s stress level. Bailey rarely eats when I’m away, but she actually ate for her. She sent me regular updates and pictures on how things were going. Linda’s kindness, patience, and attentiveness made a potentially stressful situation seamless for both Bailey and me. I highly recommend her to anyone with a dog (or any animal) who needs a calm, compassionate caretaker. I already have booked her again.

Carli is AMAZING! She came in at the last minute after a different sitter canceled and took such good care of my babies. I cannot recommend her enough.

I cannot say enough positive things about Maria! She is a wonderful communicator, not only did she take excellent care of my puppy and cat, but she also kept me up-to-date with plenty of photos and videos the whole time. It’s never easy leaving your animals, but Maria made it enjoyable for everyone.

Taylor took excellent care of our dog and cat! We have quite a few "special" requirements for our senior four-legged family members and Taylor was up for the task. She stayed in our home and fit in like a champ! In fact, we've booked Taylor for another (longer) visit. Thank you, Taylor!

About: I’ve been raised around dogs my entire life and have hands-on experience caring for them in every stage — from playful puppies to seniors who need a little extra patience and attention. Having supported my own dogs through their later years, I understand how important gentle, attentive care is. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I work Monday through Friday from 5:30 AM to 2:30 PM, which means I’m available for early morning visits before work and have my full afternoons and evenings open for walks, drop-ins, feeding, playtime, and overnight care. Because I’m off mid-afternoon, your pet won’t be waiting all day for attention. I’m able to give them consistent, reliable care and quality time — whether that’s a calm check-in, an energetic walk, or simply extra cuddles to help them feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I will always care for your pet the way you feel most comfortable, especially in your own home. I carefully follow any instructions you leave — from feeding routines and medications to favorite toys and bedtime habits — because I know how important consistency is for their comfort and your peace of mind. If they stay in my home, they’ll be welcomed into a calm, loving environment alongside my two pets. They’ll have access to a fully fenced backyard where they can safely explore and enjoy fresh air. I’m able to separate from my cat if needed to ensure everyone feels secure and comfortable. While I’m not able to separate from my dog, he is well-socialized and used to being around other animals. My goal is always to create a safe, warm space where your pet feels cared for, understood, and at home.

Elizabeth was so wonderful with our two cats and two dogs. The dogs loved her right away! She had to give one of our pups a daily allergy pill and she understood exactly what she had to do right away without any qualms. She sent us pictures of contented pets through out her visit. We will definitely have her back for future vacations!

Jennifer had a challenging sit with our cat and dog. We were gone for 8-9 days. She stayed with them and took on the challenges of our geriatric cat and reactive dog. She came to visit several times before our trip. It was important to her that things go well. Within several days, our dog was sleeping with her. She has a calm, kind, and trustworthy aura. Leaving our animals was going to be very stressful, but it wasn’t. We were able to enjoy our trip knowing our pets were being taken well care of. Would and probably will use her again. Thank you so very much Jen.

Courtney did a fantastic job taking care of our senior husky/shepherd mix while we were out of town for the weekend! He loved her the moment he met her at our meet and greet. She took him on multiple daily walks and gave him his food and meds on schedule. She always asked for clarification when needed, was very communicative and sent photo updates. We came home to a clean house and a cute framed pic of him that she took while she was here. Very thoughtful! So happy we found such a great dog sitter we can rely on!

Brianne was amazing with our chaotic, nutty furry bunch! We left her with our trio of cats and the dynamic duo of dogs, for a total of five. The first thing we noticed was how all of our furry ones were drawn to her. Animals just know if a person is good. Being away is hard, but it feels better when you have someone you can trust to love you while you're gone. My wife and I had complete peace of mind with her caring for our babies. Brianne is the BEST!

My wife and I cannot begin to emphasize how satisfied we are with how Kristina handled our pups. She stayed in our home for a week while we went on a cruise vacation. We are new to the area and naturally we were very nervous to find a new sitter. Kristina absolutely is the best when it comes to Rover. We do not say this lightly as we have used Rover for years across the country. She took our requests and directions very seriously and ensured that our dogs came first during our time away. From swift glances at the Ring camera and the many pictures she sent we could tell that our dogs were comfortable and loved! We will 100% be reaching out to Kristina for future jobs.

Teri took great and loving care of my dog for 12 days. She went on long walks and took him to a variety of dog parks every day which he loved. Teri is a great communicator and sent pictures every day. She took great care of my home as a house sitter as well. I have booked her again for dog & house sitting in the future as I was very happy with her dedication and care for my dog and home.

About: For over 15 years, I have provided comprehensive, high-quality care for both dogs and cats. My experience ranges from high-energy playtime to specialized senior care and positive reinforcement training. I pride myself on creating a safe, structured, and joyful environment for every pet. What I Offer- Medical & Senior Care: Confident in administering oral medications and skin topicals, as well as managing specialized routines for aging pets. Positive Training: Skilled in teaching basic manners, tricks, and reinforcing good behavior using force-free methods. Play & Enrichment: Expert at reading animal body language to deliver the perfect balance of physical exercise and mental stimulation. Feline Expertise: Experienced in managing cat behavior, specialized diets, and giving space to timid or anxious felines. Whether your pet needs basic puppy training, gentle elder care, or just a fun day of structured play, I adapt my approach to their unique personality. Because my work schedule varies week-to-week, I am highly adaptable and can often accommodate non-traditional times, last-minute requests, and mid-day visits that standard 9-to-5 sitters cannot. I manage my calendar tightly to ensure that when your pet is booked, they get my 100% undivided attention, medical care, and training focus. As a seasoned pet professional specializing in medical administration and behavioral training, I look at safety through a clinical and preventative lens. I do not just watch your pet; I actively monitor their health, behavior, and physical surroundings to prevent accidents before they happen. You can travel with total peace of mind knowing an expert is at the helm.

About: I have had taken care of/lived with various dog breeds, and have walked and raised dogs since I can remember. I have volunteered at Alaqua walking and playing with dogs, and I have experience dog sitting and walking dogs via Rover and family connections. I have worked with puppies, middle aged dogs, older dogs, both big and small! I love dogs unconditionally and I will do everything in my power to ensure they stay spoiled and happy :). As of now, I am attending University of Central Florida, so I am willing to work around my classes and my work schedule once I find a stable job! I cannot care for pets at my own home, but I will ensure that when I come to your home, I will keep it looking good as new. I am a chronic dish washer if any dishes or slight cleaning needs to be made. I am also no stranger to accidents that dogs are prone to, as one of my past dogs had a sensitive stomach, especially when it came to my carpeted floors. I will do whatever your dog wants to do, but my favorite aspect of it all is to ensure that the dog is happy and to make a connection with them. I love being active and playing, but I can also just simply snuggle up with them.

It was our first time doing overnight sitting while we were on vacation and Kacey did a great job watching our babies! Kacey came over ahead of time and met the pups, and they loved getting attention from her during her stay. She sent us pictures and check ins daily. I would recommend Kacey and I’m glad we found someone to care for them the way we do.

FAQs for House Sitting - Umatilla

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of August 2026, there are 1,620 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Umatilla. 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 Umatilla 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 Umatilla 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 Umatilla 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 Umatilla. On Rover:

  • 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 99% 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.
