“Madison is great. She's super responsible, communicates the perfect amount, took great care of our home, and, most importantly, was an AMAZING petsitter for our pup. We're grateful and look forward to having Madison care for Sheila again!”
“Jeff is awesome! My dog was clearly well looked after and he did a great job taking care of all her special needs. The house was well taken care of as well -- I will hopefully get to work with him again soon!”
About: I have been surrounded by dogs and other animals my entire life! I love looking after others animals and understand how hard it is to find time to juggle life along with exercising/spending time with your dogs. I would love to help anyone out and spend some time with their dog and/or take them on walks! I’m also open to overnight house sitting jobs :) I just graduated from WWU and my schedule is currently very open! I am free in the mornings, afternoons, and evenings, whatever works best for you! I am unable to accommodate pets in my home, but I have a car and am more than happy to come to you! I value the respect of others property and in the case of a house sitting job, I will always do my best to leave your home just as I found it.
“We had a wonderful housesitting experience with Dariya! While we were gone, we received daily photos/videos and highlights from the day. She incorporated our routines and training methods where applicable, and was attentive to the crews specific needs. The house was just as we left it and we came home to a happy group. We would recommend and rebook with Dariya!”
“Morgan was so responsible, communicative and kind! Kayla was in such great hands the whole time. And she left the house even cleaner than when she arrived. Morgan is fantastic.”
“Zoe was great! She filled in a last minute booking after our pet sitter cancelled. Above and beyond in pet care as well as leaving our space better than when we left! The animals loved her and we definitely would have her back!”
“Charlie was great! He took both dogs for long walks and sent photos. The house was in perfect condition when we got back. We would love to book Charlie again on our next trip away. Thank you Charlie!”
About: I’ve lived with pets my whole life, and have experience caring for both cats and dogs of varying difficulty levels. I can handle dogs of any size and energy level, having grown up with a very high strung Vizsla and a small rescue. I am gentle, caring and will always do my best to ensure that your pet gets the best care possible. I am currently a student at Western Washington University, so i will have plenty of time in the mornings and evenings to ensure that your pet gets the utmost care. While I don’t have space at home to crate or board your pet, I am happy to take them on walks in the many beautiful parks and forests around Bellingham, or play with them in their home yard or house. I am also always happy to sit and snuggle with your pet to comfort them while you are away.
“Haley was so great with communication and feedback while I was gone for the week, and both my cat and dog act as though I haven’t even been away. It was such an ease knowing they were well taken care of.”
“Madalyn stayed with our dog Maggie for two full weeks. Our house was in great shape when we got back, and Maggie was happy and healthy! Will definitely work with Madalyn again”
“It’s stressful turning over your house and fur babies to a complete stranger. I recently moved to the area and it was the first time I’ve booked with Sadira. I got back and all is well with house and animals.”
“I don’t know if you’re able to review a person more than once. But I had Andrhu coming for drop in visits during my long work hours because he lives just a few blocks away. I noticed my cat who is 15 took to him right away and he paid attention to my very *particular* requests about her care. Not only did I have a significant increase in my cats level of calmness - but literally at the LAST minute I saw that the sitter I use when I’m out of town had left my cat alone for almost 24 hours. Then pushed he out of bed when the cat tried to ask for minimal attention. To say I was crushed was an understatement. I was in complete tears. I have a lot going on and am kind of a single pet parent until my husband can join me in the USA. Andrhu AGAIN was a god send. One one days notice I let the other sitter go home for personal reasons and Andrhu agreed to stay - he was with her most all day every day. I came home today, my cat happy, playing with a ball at 15 years old. And now I am comfortable purchasing a kitten to make her (and I) even happier. Knowing I have Andrhu close by - he’s SO flexible. He’s honest and communicates expectations clearly which I appreciate and respect. The amount of guilt I carry about leaving her is at a zero. Down from about 200 on my last vacation. And now with our new addition coming - I consider Andrhu to be part of my cat tribe to make sure they’re all ok. I don’t want him to get completely booked (selfishly). But this is the relationship I needed for my sweet girl until my husband is allowed to live here - and for every vacation after. I highly recommend treating him with utmost respect. I have a guest set of linens, towels and hope Andrhu will help himself to anything food or drink in my home. At this point my home is him home and even if we haven’t met he is cat-family. Hire him whenever you can. The compassion he shows to even old pets it unmatched. I’m almost crying tears of joy from having my anxiety so much reduced in this difficult time in my life.”
About: I've been around animals since I was 2, they've always loved me and the feelings mutual! Since then I've fed, groomed, walked, trained and simply chilled with both cats and dogs of all ages. I am currently a full time student whilst looking for a part-time job, yet I still have time left to care for your animals! Drop in visits only, anytime past 3pm, everyday except Fridays. I may be willing to discuss boarding! Unfortunately, I can't bring animals into my dormitory, so I'll need to get familiar with your home and your pet's behavior! We'll go on walks, play inside, train a lil bit or any additional notes/request from you- the parents!
“Samantha was a wonderful house and pet sitter for our pup. She kept in contact, sent pictures from their walks, and left our house cleaner than we left it. We will absolutely look to have Samantha help is again in the future.”
“Kaila did a great job with Lindy and Loki. Loki is a rambuncious bull terrier and she handled him really well. When we came home the house was as we left it! We would use her again with no hesitation.”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Van Wyck is $50
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Van Wyck
Kelcy is *actually* a dog whisperer. My dog, being a vizsla, can be a bit chaotic and thus isn't everyone's cup of tea. She is however very sweet, especially with the humans who are part of her pack. She literally instantly loved Kelcy, which has become increasingly rare for her as she's gotten older and more particular. I felt completely comfortable leaving Nootka with Kelcy, fully trusting that she would be not just safe but also happy. Kelcy took *such* good care of her , I'm not sure Nootka even minded my absence 🥲.
Lori was absolutely amazing. Will 100% be going back to her. She took such great care of my dog and two cats. Lori took a lot of time at our meet and greet asking questions and greeting my critters at their pace. Her gentle and patient demeanor with my dog gave me so much confidence leaving her in her care. I recieved daily updates and photos of my happy and relaxed critters. She also took lovely care of my home and I cannot thank her enough!
I would give Kami 6 stars if I could! She is a wonderful pet sitter, and I always feel completely at ease leaving my two dogs in her care. She stayed in our home for 4 nights while we were away and followed all of the instructions we left for her, and we came home to a clean and tidy house. Our dogs can be a handful at times--one is 12 and the other is 3, so they have very different needs, and she is so great with both of them. It’s clear that she genuinely cares about the pets she watches. I would highly recommend Kami to anyone!
Emilia was an incredible sitter for our two high energy dogs. She took care of our big malinois and our crazy puppy, taking them on multiple long walks and to the park, as well as giving them lots of love. She accommodated our very last minute request, working around her schedule for us. She followed our instructions and was super communicative, sending frequent pictures and updates on our pups. Your pets will be in very good hands with Emilia!
Matthew exceeded expectations! Not only is he professional, but it’s also clear that caring for dogs is a full time passion. My pup, Cooper, loved him and Matthew even took time to train him. I will definitely be booking again and recommending him to all my pet owning friends. Very grateful to have you in the area Matthew!
Lindsey did a house sit for me this time. And she is just a gem! My cat is always so happy and content when she stays with him. I can genuinely tell he was well loved based on how relaxed he is upon my return. She also did an amazing job caring for my golden retriever— giving him love, medicine, and good play time. I felt safe and was relieved to have her watch my pets and home. Thank you Lindsey! You’re the best! 💕
Harper is absolutely wonderful! Harper watched our spunky lab for a few weeks over the holidays and she was exceptionally well cared for. We loved the clear communication, regular updates, and cute photos. It was obvious that Langley was having the time of her life on Harper's farm. We'll definitely be booking with Harper again soon.
Summer is an absolute amazing find! My senior cat recently had some health issues, and we had a trip planned that was causing me a lot of anxiety. From the moment we met her, we knew both our cats were in good hands. She communicated just as much as I asked for, and I came back to both Ollie and Dakota happier than I have seen them after a trip. Highly recommend!

The average cost of House Sitting in Van Wyck is $33 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $32 and $50 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 Van Wyck 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 Van Wyck 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 Van Wyck 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.
