Victoria was fantastic with my pup! I was very impressed by her professionalism, and could tell my dog had a great time with her. She was timely and very attentive to my dog’s schedule and needs. Definitely recommend!

Jessica did an amazing job caring for my dog and cat over the course of a few days. She was very communicative about how they were doing and updated me when minor mishaps had occurred. Despite my cat being a bit shy. yet needing to be given medicine orally, Jessica did a great job at establishing trust with her. Jessica was also very willing to take care of my plants and fish which was greatly appreciated. The house was clean when I came back and the animals had clearly enjoyed their time with her. I couldn’t ask for anything more, and I would definitely rebook with Jessica again!

Audrey did a wonderful job pet-sitting our 13 year old dog and tending our houseplants while we were away on vacation for a week. She was very responsive to our requests for updates and photos via text and also didn't hesitate to ask questions about anything she was unsure about. The house was in perfect shape when we got back. Would highly recommend her.

About: I have been around animals since I was born, and wanted to be a veterinarian ever since I was three! I now attend WSU and am in my first year of veterinary school! I have worked with several different types of animals, ranging from mice and rats to horses. I currently have 3 of my own cats and 4 rats! I have a dog back at home in Tacoma too. If you need simple drop ins, pet sitting, or dog walks, I am here for you! I usually have classes from 1-5 PM, then work for a couple hours after that. I can usually stop by on weekends, late nights, or mornings/ early afternoons to take care of your pet! I will regularly check on the well-being of the animal. Not only will your pet be fed and taken out regularly, but any mess that we might make will be cleaned up better than we found it!

We couldn't be happier with our experience! Hannah stayed at our house with our dog Conor, and it was clear from the start that she genuinely loves animals. Conor absolutely adored her — which honestly says everything. She was super responsive leading up to the stay, prompt with updates throughout, and even took Conor on sniff walks (anyone with a scent-driven dog knows what a labor of love those are!). We came back to a happy pup and zero stress, which is all you can ask for! We'll definitely be booking Hannah again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter who truly cares. 🐾

Ann did an amazing job taking care of our two needy/behaviorally challenged cats for 10 days! They kept in contact with us, proactively communicated/asked questions, and left the house just as clean as when we left! When one of the medications began running out, I trusted them to help navigate the pharmacy and dose changes with us from afar. Ann is an extremely responsible and diligent pet sitter who we would 100% book again!

Sienna has been absolutely wonderful, very willing to be flexible to accommodate my schedule, and does great with my "stranger-danger"-prone dog! She responds really fast to texts, sends updates, and even took it upon herself to rotate fans and windows to help cool my place down while I was gone.

About: Currently I’m a vet student at WSU! I’ve just wrapped up my first year of vet school. My ultimate goal is to go into large animal medicine. I have lived with cats my entire life and have worked with dogs throughout high school and into college. I am currently fitting in part time animal care into my daily routine. It is something I enjoy doing and is an activity I enjoy making time for. In a clients home I would be ready and willing to feed pets and let pets outside. I would also be willing to play with pets and take them on walks.

About: I’ve grown up with animals of all kinds in my home. While I currently only have a cat, I’ve been the owner of several dogs, a couple snakes, a bearded dragon and I’m not afraid of really any type of animal. I have a pretty open schedule, single mom to a couple of boys and pet mom to one sweet cat. I love snuggling any animal. So I live in an apartment but very frequently go out to trails and parks with my kids, I would have no problem including your pet!

About: I’ve grown up with dogs and cats of all sizes, temperaments, and ages. I have my own dog and am very adaptable when it comes to pet care. I’m an avid animal lover and am prepared to provide any kind of care that your pet needs. I’m currently looking for side jobs during the summer while I am in Pullman, so pet-sitting fits perfectly into my current lifestyle. I’m available for drop-in visits, dog-walking, and house-sitting. I’m experienced in training my own dog, so I am well-equipped to uphold boundaries and training for your pets. I’m prepared to respect any boundaries and rules you have for your dogs and/or cats. I’m also experienced with having a pup with some medical conditions that require medication and monitoring, so I’m prepared to handle pets that may have some medical needs.

About: I have been taking care of animals since I was 10. I have cared for a blind senior cat as well as a cat with hip problems, which required patience, close monitoring, and adapting the environment to keep them safe and comfortable. I currently help care for my friend’s senior dog, who also has hip and dental issues, so I’m familiar with administering gentle support, maintaining comfort, and being attentive to mobility limitations and pain cues. In addition, I have experience caring for younger animals, including kittens and puppies around 12 weeks old. This has given me practice with high-energy care, feeding routines, supervision, and basic early-life behavior management. Overall, I’m comfortable working with both senior pets and young animals, and I adjust my care style based on each pet’s specific health, energy level, and personality needs. Pet care fits into my routine pretty easily because I currently have a part-time job with a very variable schedule. Since my shifts change from week to week, I’m generally flexible and available most days with some notice. This flexibility allows me to adjust around pet care responsibilities like feeding, walks, check-ins, or overnight stays when needed. I’m also used to planning my time in a way that ensures animals are consistently cared for, even on busier days, so I can reliably fit pet care into my weekly schedule. In my home, I would make sure any pet is cared for in a safe, comfortable, and supervised environment. While my apartment doesn’t have a backyard, there is a fenced-in area nearby where dogs can run, play fetch, and get exercise. I also have a car, so if the owner is comfortable with it, I can take the dogs to a dog park for additional enrichment and activity. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize keeping their routine as consistent as possible—feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special care instructions are followed closely. I’m also very mindful of respecting the home itself. I was raised to always leave a place cleaner than I found it, so I make sure everything is kept tidy, organized, and exactly as I found it. Communication is also important to me, so I always update owners and let them know right away if anything seems off or if there are any concerns about their pet’s health, behavior, or well-being.

About: I've taken care of dogs since I was 11. From my dog, to my family member's dogs, I've taken them on walks, given medication through pill pockets, fed them, brushed them, played with them, and given them all the love and attention they could ever want! I'm working part time, so I can give as much attention as possible to your pets! I'll be constantly in the area, so no need to worry about your pet being alone for too long. I’ll take the fur baby (or babies) on walks, play with them, love on them, and everything in between! Any need they could have, I can meet.

About: I have house sat many people’s dogs, staying in their homes full-time or just a few daily visits for a week at a time. I will be in town for the next year. I am a recent WSU graduate who loves cats and dogs. I have lots of availability throughout the week at various hours of the day while I figure out my future in Pullman! I have fed dogs, walked them twice a day, played with them, and slept with them in client’s homes. I have stayed with dogs during holidays with fireworks and provided a safe environment for them to relax.

About: ❗️Prices change upon contact, DM for more details❗️ I’ve grown up with dogs around me since I was little, from their puppy stages to their more senior years. I’ve taken care of different family’s pets for a few years now and they’ve loved the care I provided. With my own pets I am experienced with their walks, grooming and minor training with my latest dog, and of course feeding them (along with some supplements as needed). Currently I have a very open schedule as I am in college and my classes are in the later morning, so I have time to care throughout the week. I occasionally work weekends, sometimes a few nights during the week (usually 4-5 hours) otherwise I have an open schedule! I would prefer Venmo for payment if possible with you, if not totally no worries! Through my pet experience I will often play with the animals if they desire and need some energy out, or taking them on walks. In my own home I take the dogs to the backyard throwing a toy around or running with the dogs. My dogs have a strict schedule so we always feed them on time, one of them getting his pills and the other will have difficult time eating so I’ve found that ways that help him eat throughout the morning before I have to leave. Frequent bathroom breaks are needed of course, and I love being around the dogs so I usually hang out in their favorite spots with them while doing my own thing if everyone is just relaxing.

FAQs for House Sitting - Viola

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of July 2026, there are 155 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Viola. 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 Viola 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 Viola 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 Viola 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 Viola. On Rover:

  • 82% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 100% 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.
