“Malia was great! Despite some early communication issues, she did a wonderful job and our dogs loved her. She went above and beyond in stripping the bed and washing towels before she left, and left the house in a much better state than she found it. We would definitely book with Malia again.”
About: Hi! My name is Olivia and I have been a reliable pet-sitter for years. I believe every pet deserves patience, affection, and care that fits their unique personality. Whether your pet is playful and social or shy and independent, I’ll take the time to make them feel safe and comfortable in their own home. Happy to host sleep-overs or travel where I'm needed! I’m attentive to the little details and happy to send updates and photos so you can see how your four-legged family is doing. My goal is to make time apart as stress-free as possible for both you and your pets! I am currently a full-time student on online school, so my time is flexible to be there when I am needed! I can be based out of your house if your pets need attention throughout the day, or I can make planned stops to keep them on a schedule while you are away. I believe every animal deserves to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their family is away. I take the time to get to know each pet’s personality, needs, and routine so I can provide care that helps them feel at ease. Whether that means playtime, walks, feeding, cuddles, or simply keeping them company, I want every pet to feel comfortable and well cared for. As a trail runner, I also would love to take care of your high-energy pups who need lots of outside time! I’m respectful of your home and your pet’s space, and I make safety a priority by following your instructions, keeping their environment secure, and sticking to their usual routines as closely as possible. I also understand how important communication is, so I’m happy to send updates and photos to give you peace of mind while you’re away. My goal is to make sure you can enjoy your time away knowing your beloved companions are in caring and responsible hands!
“Haley was great! Dogs were happy and well cared for. The house was as well, she even washed and dried our bed linens and put them back on the bed for us! Her communication was also exceptional. We would definitely recommend her and hope she will dog sit for us again in the future!”
“I can't say enough good things about Beth! We were in a bind when we found out our pup may need surgery for a torn ligament just a day before our week long trip, and Beth stepped in to help us with such grace and professionalism. She took the time to understand our dog's special needs and ensured he was comfortable and cared for while we were away. Beth provided regular updates, sending us photos and messages that put our minds at ease. It was clear she genuinely cares for animals and is dedicated to providing the best care possible. We can't thank her enough for her kindness and expertise. We highly recommend Beth to anyone looking for a reliable and compassionate dog sitter!”
About: I recently moved to the Gorge from Asheville, NC, and I am so excited to meet you and your pups! My deep love for animals began at a very young age. Growing up, I was surrounded by pets of all shapes and sizes -from dogs and cats to farm animals, reptiles, and birds. That lifelong passion led me into a rewarding career in animal care. I have been a full-time professional dog groomer and daycare/boarding specialist for the past 20 years. I also have experience at a veterinary emergency center. In my free time, I would volunteer to walk shelter dogs. I understand that every dog is unique. Over two decades, I have developed extensive experience working with dogs of all ages, sizes, and temperaments. I specialize in a slow, patient approach for nervous or shy dogs who need extra reassurance, and I am highly experienced in administering necessary medications. I treat every pet like family. My very first dog, an Airedale mix, lived to be 16 and a half years old. She had a long, beautiful life that I attribute to deep love, care, and proper attention. I bring that same standard of love and dedication to every animal I meet. I look forward to meeting you! I am currently a stay at home mom and we enjoy walking and hiking every day! Your pet will be included in everything! I understand some dogs enjoy lazy days too and I’m happy to accommodate that as well. I usually begin my morning with a walk and end it with one before bed. I am available to stay at your home or mine. I base this by whatever will make your pet feel the most comfortable. I have a friendly dog named Gator who misses playing with dogs while I worked at the grooming salon so bad, so I’m sure he’d be excited to join! We love going to the Bingen point “ dog park,”walking around the neighborhood near Daubenspeck park, Catherine creek, North Western, b.z falls, and the klickitat trail!
About: I have lived with animals my whole life, and now live with my best friend Bean the female German Shorthair Pointer, who loves to play with other dogs.

I work part time, and when I am not working I am I out playing in nature with my pup, skiing and hiking and more I have a fenced yard and my dog loves to play with other dogs. We like to go to the dog park and on hikes

“Robin was super easy to communicate with. Warm and loving. She updated us about our two dogs. We have an older one, who needs To move slow and a younger, big baby, with lots of energy. She took time to meet both of their needs. Thanks Robin!”
About: I have had pups all my life, of many different shapes and sizes. I have lots of experience caring for elderly pups as well training puppies. I am comfortable with big dogs as much as I am little ones. I recently lost my dog of 20 long, happy puppy years, and am eager to put all the extra love I have to give into your pup. I have trained countless dogs to walk well on leash, if that’s something you need help with. I am also comfortable with big off leash (or on) hikes, if that’s what your pup prefers. I have a 90 lb bernedoodle puppy at home who delights in off leash adventures. If your dog needs socializing, we could all go together! I work part time and attend graduate school remotely, so I’m able to spend ample time with your beloved pets! My husband stays home with our dogs when I’m pet sitting, so not much need to leave once I’m there. I am very cognizant of escape artists and all sorts of mischievous puppies and kitties. I am very communicative with all of my clients; I’ll send pics and texts or calls if you prefer several times a day (unless you’d rather be left alone!)
“Frank took wonderful care of our dog! We were a little nervous to have someone house sit, but Cedar was happy and our house was in great shape. So grateful for Frank’s help!”
“Emily is fantastic! She checked in and sent pictures frequently and made sure my pup was always his happiest. She also left the house spotless! Would definitely recommend.”
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Underwood
Another great experience with Raenell! She took such good care of our home and our dog Miko while we were away! We received regular photo updates , clear communication, and came back to a happy, relaxed pup and spotless house! It gave us complete peace of mind the entire time we were traveling! We highly recommend Raenell and definitely would book her again!
Emily did a fantastic job! We highly recommend her and we will look to her as first choice for future pet sits! Our one pup was still in post TPLO surgery recovery and needed some special handling and considerations. Emily took on that task above and beyond our expectations. If you want to have a worry free time away from your furry family, Emily should be your first choice.
Andrea is fantastic! She was quick to respond and schedule a meet and greet when I first reached out which I appreciated so that our dogs could get to know each other. Andrea took great care of my girl Dolly and my home while I was away. She took Dolly to her favorite parks and even brought her out to xc ski and snow romp! Andrea was very thoughtful in asking about taking Dolly on different outings and meeting her friends’ dogs to make sure I was comfortable with it — Dolly even made some new pup friends! Andrea also sent daily updates and pictures to me so I knew things were going well. I will 1000% ask Andrea to watch Dolly again!
We were happy to find Tanya to help us out while we went out of town for a few days. She did a great job taking care of our two cats who require some human attention - they run the house. ;) Tanya handled everything with ease and we would love to have her cat / house sit again.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
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 Underwood 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 Underwood 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 Underwood 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 administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
