About: I’ve grown up with dogs and cats of all sizes, so I’m comfortable caring for both. Over the past 4 years, I’ve pet sat for dogs and cats, making sure they get plenty of attention, playtime, and care while their owners are away. As an athletic college student, I’m happy to keep dogs active with walks and play, and I’m gentle and patient with cats, respecting their space and personality. I’m responsible, trustworthy, and treat every pet like they’re part of my family. I work part-time and am looking for some light pet sitting or dog walking jobs to fill my free time. I’m available during mornings, afternoons, evenings, and weekends, and happy to help out with flexible hours while earning some extra cash. I know how important it is to keep your pet safe and happy. I’m careful and follow your instructions so your pet feels comfortable and secure. I pay attention to their needs and make sure they’re in a calm, stress-free environment whether we’re at home or out for a walk. You can trust me to treat your pet like one of my own, they’ll be well loved and cared for every time!
“Jacie stayed one night and took great care of our dog and cat. She sent frequent pictures and updates. Everything looked to be in great order when we got home. She had even put the sheets and towels from her room in to wash. Would definitely recommend her to stay with your pets.”
“Ariel stayed at my house with my dog, Sadie, for 11 days while I was overseas and everything went perfectly! She was great with Sadie, sent picture updates and administered her medicine on time. It was great not to have to worry about Sadie while I was away and my house was tidy and clean when I got back! Thank you, Ariel!”
“She's attentive, quick to respond, responsible with the details, and my dogs treat her like she's Mary Poppins. While out of town for days and without even a signal on my cell phone, I had zero worries for my dog's care”
About: I have had dogs for as long as I can remember and love all dogs and all their unique personalties. I love going on walk and just playing outside. I am in college, but have plenty of time to take care of pets with my flexible schedule. I have a dog of my own at home and do not struggle at all to meet his needs. I have a pet of my own, but my lease does not allow any other pets to be in the house. So I will not be able to board dogs at my personal house.

About: I have experience with pets from 5lbs up to 220lbs. I currently own a Great Dane a Belgian Shepherd and an Aussie/Siberian husky mix, so I’m pretty open to any breed or energy and of course can’t forget about our cat I also have experience giving medication if needed. I’m pretty open, this will pretty much be my side job along with my full time position. Obviously, if I’m not available on the requested days I will let you know beforehand. I do take same day appointments Since I will be offering the services in your home, I try to ask that appointments be made a couple days in advance if you would like for me to come and meet you and your pet just to ensure that everyone is comfortable and I’m not a stranger just walking into your house. If this isn’t possible, that’s okay, please just leave instructions on what you would like me to do that way I can ensure the best care possible!

FAQs for House Sitting - Washington
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 608 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 , 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.
