“Lyla did a great job: she was willing to come meet the pups beforehand, showed up on time to house/dog sit, sent photos and updates, and left the house and dogs clean and happy. We hope to use Lyla for future dog care needs and highly recommend her to others.”
“Jan and Paul are the gold standard when it comes to pet/house sitting. Kind, reliable, clean, etc. I never worry when I leave my home and critters in their capable hands.”
“If I could give six stars I would! Josalyn stayed for three nights and our anxious pups got all the loves! Our house was spotless when we got home, she took out trash cans for pick up, brought them in and even emptied the dishwasher! Our dogs were excited when we got home but not nuts like they’d been ignored. We got daily pics and updates and we will book Josalyn again!”
“Kylie did an amazing job watching my girls!! She took good care of them and provided me with updates whenever I wanted and checked in with me on her own (including sending photos). She left my house immaculate (especially being here 2 weeks) and she is incredibly kind and thoughtful! I highly recommend her for others looking for a pet sitter and will definitely request her when I need a pet sitter in the future!”
“We couldn’t be happier with the care Destiny provided for our Goldendoodle and three cats while house-sitting for us last week! From the very beginning, she was incredibly communicative, keeping us updated throughout her stay and sending plenty of photos of our furry family members. What truly set Destiny apart was her attention to detail and willingness to go above and beyond. She not only kept our pets happy and well-cared for but also helped put away their frozen food delivery and even made a trip to the store to pick up extra paper plates for feeding the cats. When we returned, our home was spotless, and it was clear that Destiny had taken great care to leave everything in perfect order. We are so grateful for her kindness, reliability, and thoughtfulness, and we’re excited to use her services for all our future house-sitting and pet-watching needs. Thank you, Destiny—you’re amazing!”
About: I love animals and have been around and cared for them all of my life. I have two dogs of my own and owned a horse ranch for the last 20 years. I now live in a new neighborhood, with a fully fenced yard. I do work during the day so my husband cares for our Rover pets while I am gone. All dogs love him and he is home during the day. I am a very experienced horse owner and can provide care for livestock as well as cats, dogs and birds. I raised Andalusian horses and have been around them most of my life. Pets are my passion, are important and I love to be around them. They make me happy and I would love to pamper your pets! For house sitting clients, I do work from 6-2pm. I am happy to house sit but am gone during those hours. My husband lets the dogs out as needed all day long. He is home all of the time, so we do not leave our boarders alone. Our clients pets interact with our own pets. We cannot take in pets that do not get along with other dogs and cats. Our boarders will sleep with us or on their own bed if one is brought.
“This was our first time having someone stay at the house and couldn't have asked for a better caretaker for our Lucy or our home. We rolled in after a week away. I can't overstate the value of walking through the door to a happy dog and spotless home. Above and beyond!”
“We had a great experience with Shane. He was so responsive and really took the stress out of leaving our two dogs and cat overnight without having to put them through leaving home. He took great care of our home and fur babies.”
“Skyler and her son Dayton are amazing. I was in Italy for over two weeks and she kept in contact with me always. She took care of my garden and my house and of course my sweet babies. Everything was perfect when I came home and she even stayed later because my flight was delayed, she’s the best I recommend her highly”
“Amanda was great with our dog, Stella. We had been gone a few days and we returned home to a happy and tired dog. Amanda communicated well, walked Stella, took care of her needs and took care of our house. We 100% would use her again and recommend her to others.”
“Rachel took such great care of our dog and two cats! One of our cats even has asthma and she did not shy away from administering his inhaler. She stayed at our house the week of Christmas and made sure to give us updates and also took great care of the house! Super sweet and thoughtful. Will definitely be reaching out to her again. Thank you, Rachel!”
“Jennifer was absolutely wonderful with our standard poodle. She house sat with her while we were away as we were unsure how our dog would be with her labs. We agreed to her taking our girl over for a visit to her house, it went amazingly well. Jennifer took great care of Rita, sent regular updates and videos and was very flexible. We thoroughly recommend her and would definitely use her again for any future trips out of town. Thanks Jen!!!”
About: I have had pets in my home since I was a baby and have been loving and living with one ever since. A cat saved my life when I was a newborn. You could say that set the tone. I live on 3 fenced acres and have a variable schedule due to my own dogs + taking care of my pre-school nephew PT. M,T,R,F: Our days start early, courtesy of aforementioned preschooler. 6:30am and it’s outside time. Another visit outdoors after the bus has gone around 8am, then playing outside or lazing inside. Another outside break around 11:00a. 12-5pm is when the dogs are kept busy with chew toys and their own company. After 5:30 depends on my fitness calendar/our beloved PNW weather: will we go for a run at the park? A hike? Yard zoomies? Bed time at approximately 10:30 with a potty break just before. Wednesdays and weekends vary, but follow a similar timeline. I give the same care in your home as I do my own in mine. All the playing, sitting and/or affection they or their pet parents ask for.
“Nadia was so great to work with. She made our dogs feel comfortable and gave frequent updates and photos. She is easy to communicate with and was able to navigate our complicated situation with our 4 dogs and handled our reactive dogs super well! We will always choose Nadia moving forward to trust with our babies!”
About: I’ve been around animals my whole life and had pets of my own for as long as I can remember. I currently have a 8 month pup she’s super sweet and gets along great with other dogs . I work from home and set my own schedule so I have the ability to take pets on frequent walks and follow any eating schedules or medication distribution. I work from home so my schedule is very flexible, I have many opportunities to take breaks for walks or runs. Or even take them to the park I follow any special instructions that have been provided, other than that I just play with them, cuddle and feed them my neighborhood is safe

The average cost of House Sitting in Venersborg is $33 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $33 and $33 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 Venersborg 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 Venersborg 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 Venersborg 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 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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
