About: Hi, I am Rachel. I am a lifelong animal lover, and have a ton of pet care experience. I am comfortable with all ages, breeds, and sizes of dogs, but I know it is very important they are comfortable with me as well! I am happy to meet initially to learn more about your pet and how to best care for them. I look forward to getting to know this member of your family! Pet care is a big part of my daily life, from feeding, walking, and cleaning up after my own pets to caring for friends and family's pets when needed. I adjust my schedule to accommodate for your pets feeding and walking schedule. I will provide whatever care your pet requires such as changing water, cleaning cat boxes, giving oral medication, ect.
“My dogs loved Andrea from the moment she walked in the door. She was great with communication and sending pics while we were gone. I felt completely confident that they were being well taken care of. It was a great first experience with Rover, and I will definitely use Andrea again!”
“Vanessa went above and beyond to take care of my senior dog. It's comforting knowing my pup was so well taken care of while I was gone. The peace of mind is so important! I'm looking forward to having Vanessa in my home again.”
About: I was raised with Boston Terriers. I can’t remember a time when one or more than one was not a part of my life. I love all fur babies though, size does not matter. I’m currently working part time. I retired from the Federal Government after 30 years in! I’m available for morning and evenings, some days all day. I am able and willing to deliver whatever type of care you need to provide peace of mind for you, your family, and your fur babies.
“Wish I could give Leigh 10 stars because 5 just isn’t enough!!! Leigh was beyond amazing, especially with my special needs dog who has urinary incontinence. She kept all our furniture covered with the pee pads and even washed them for us! Our fur children were so happy when we got home. We had a big hiccup in our trip with uncertainty of when and how we would be home. Never did we have to worry about the safety of our fur children with her. She sent photos about 3 times a day and she even was able to get my antisocial cat out and about (he was obsessed with her). We are so grateful to have found her, and are sad she won’t be staying in Tampa.”
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover with years of hands-on experience caring for pets. I’ve been taking care of my family’s and neighbors’ pets since I was 15, including feeding, walking, playing, and making sure they feel safe and loved while their owners are away. I currently own a cat, so I understand the importance of patience, routine, and respecting each pet’s individual personality. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or shy and relaxed, I take the time to meet their needs and make them comfortable. I treat every pet like they’re my own and prioritize safety, communication, and reliability. I’d love the chance to help care for your furry family member! I’m available for evening care on weekdays and have open availability on weekends. I’m able to check in on pets multiple times throughout the day, depending on their needs. I’m flexible, reliable, and happy to work with your pet’s routine to make sure they’re well cared for. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I believe owners know their pets best, so I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding, walking, medications, routines, and house rules. I take the time to learn each pet’s personality, boundaries, and needs to make sure they feel secure and cared for.
“Katie did great taking care of our dog and two cats! She sent so many pictures and updates which helps ease your mind when you’re gone. She isn’t afraid to ask questions when it comes to taking care of your pets the way you like. My pets loved her!”
“Kacy is amazing! She followed all our lengthy directions to a T. She kept us well informed about how our girl was doing. She made sure that our girl had multiple walks a day. She kept a perfect schedule. Our home was perfectly clean. Would highly recommend!”
About: I have helped raise two dogs growing up, one cocker spaniel and one golden retriever. I have also somewhat raised outdoor cats. I’ve pet sat for over 5 cats and 3 dogs. I love taking care of animals and becoming buddies with them. Big dogs do slightly intimidate me so I would like to stick to small to medium dogs. My boyfriend and I are also taking care of his brothers cat at the moment so that gives me some entail on how to care for a cat. I live in Columbia but for the summer I am spending my days in Union. I am from Hermann and work there as well so I am willing to drive to take care of your furry friends. I work from 9am to 3/4pm (depending on the work load I could get done earlier) and I don’t have set days I work but I have plenty of time to spend with your pets. I know some animals can be difficult but I have patience to take care of them. Kindness and compassion are two things that animals need from us and I give them all of it. I will care for your pets based on all the information you give me and if I have any questions I will ask. I also have many friends with animal experience who can help me out if needed. I won’t mistreat your home and will clean up after myself as well as keep it cleaned. I can keep your home and pets safe.
“This was my first time using Rover for dog sitting. Marissa did such a good job taking care of Jovi! I can't express how grateful I am for her care while I was out of town and the updates of Jovi throughout the day. So thankful for Marissa!”
“Tracey saved us! We stayed in an Airbnb in Hermann, Missouri and our dogs were upsetting the other Airbnb guest with their barking. Tracey stayed with them and calmed them down while we were out wine tasting! She was so sweet and swiftly came to our Airbnb to help! 10/10 quality! She is amazing! Thank you Tracey. My husband and I can’t thank you enough!”
“Sweet and kind to our pups, respectful of our home and patient with our anxiety about leaving our pups. Super nice person who asked great questions about caring for our girls. We will definitely reach out to her again when needed to ask if she is willing/able to work with us. ❤️”

“Niki was great! She kept us updated on our two dogs every day with pictures included. And both dogs looked to be enjoying themselves the whole time. She even prepaired their evening meals I always give them. I highly recommend her as a dog sitter. Next time we have to head out of town we will definitely ask her to watch our two dogs again!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Washington on Rover is $61.05 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 936 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Washington. 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 Washington 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 Washington 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 Washington 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.

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.
