“My dogs absolutely love Kaydince! She kept the dogs at our home, where they were most comfortable. We appreciated the photos she sent. The updates on the dogs eased our concerns about them. We definitely want to hire Kaydince next time we travel!”
“Thanks so much for taking great care of my baby, and going above and beyond and even arriving early. It’s always super vulnerable leaving our fur babies, and it makes all the difference having someone you can count on!”
“Allison took great care of my cat Trixie! I appreciate the time and attention she gave to my girl while I was out of the country. She also did an amazing job taking care of my home and left it cleaner than I did for her! Getting back from an international trip being greeting by my clean home and happy cat felt incredible. I would absolutely recommend Allison”
“Feather took care of our 7 cats while we were on a vacation abroad. As well as tending to a sick kitty's medication, Feather fed the cats, scooped the litter trays, and played with the cats too, not to mention taking out the trash! We will be using Feather again for a short trip we have planned in the near future.”
“Dana did an excelent job of taking care of our dog Jackson. She walked and played ball with him often. Most of all, she gave him lots of love and spent quality time with him. We would be booking her again soon.”
“Ashton was so great, really easy to communicate with and provided pictures along the way. She was very patient with my dogs who take a little bit to warm up to new people and handled all the feeding and walking wonderfully. Highly recommend! We are moving out of state but would otherwise continue to use her help 👍”
“This is the first time we have used Adam. He helped us over night and was so good with our dog Bailey. He was very attentive to all her needs. He sent many pictures which meant alot because we knew she was in good hands. We will definitely book him the next time we need him.”
“Camber did an outstanding job for us. She came and checked on our babies and sent update pics everyday. We never worried once while we were out of town. We plan on using Camber again when we need our loved ones looked after.”
“Zoe did a wonderful job pet sitting for my 2 little pups. She did everything I asked her even though feeding my senior pup was complicated. Both dogs were happy & healthy when I got home and the house was clean too! She was good with them, they enjoyed her calm and gentle attention. She also sent frequent updates and pictures too. I would recommend Zoe for any dog care needs.”

She treated our home with respect and we came home to a clean space. Our dog Rosie has some reactivity and anxiety struggles and Isabella was able to handle and comfort her through it. She even took her to the park down the street. We will definitely be reaching out again in the future!”

“This was our first time using Rover. We could not have asked for a better match for our Jeter! Kimberly was heaven sent😇 She was the best companion and caretaker we could have asked, for our only question is, why haven’t we done this sooner? She took him on walks snuggled with him sent us pictures the whole time we were gone. The hardest part about leaving her a good review is I am afraid everyone will want her😆 Thank You Kimberly for giving us the best peace of mind, knowing you were here with our little man who we cherish with all of our hearts ❤️ You are simply amazing!!!”
About: I’ve cared for many dogs outside of Rover and am currently building my profile here. I offer a true home-away-from-home experience—no kennels, no crates, just a safe, comfortable space where your dog becomes part of the family. Your pup will spend their days lounging, playing and getting plenty of attention, just like they would at home. We’re also an active household! My home backs right up to Red Cliffs Desert Reserve, so daily hikes and outdoor exploring are a big part of our routine. Whether your dog loves adventure or prefers to relax, I tailor care to their personality and energy level. I keep my numbers limited so each dog gets plenty of one-on-one attention, exercise and love. You’ll get regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your dog is happy, safe and having a great time. I'm comfortable with pets of all ages, sizes and personalities whether they are energetic and playful or more laid-back and cuddly. From daily walks and playtime to snuggles and belly rubs, I make sure your pets feel safe, loved and happy while their owners are away. I'll treat your pets like my own! Pet care is already part of my everyday life. I work from home and have a flexible schedule, so your pet will get plenty of attention throughout the day and won’t be left alone for long periods. I’m able to keep a consistent routine with walks, potty breaks, playtime, and downtime, depending on what your pet is used to. I focus on creating a calm, structured and safe environment so pets can settle in quickly and feel at home. I follow your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, exercise, and any specific instructions. I have a fully fenced yard for secure outdoor time and I can crate only if needed. I’m very attentive to behavior and energy levels and I keep things low-stress by not overbooking. You’ll receive regular updates with photos so you always know your pet is happy and well cared for.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Washington
Claire was wonderful with my two pups and took excellent care of them during a week-long trip. She sent daily photos and updates and my girls looked very happy in her care. She also took great care of our home and left everything clean and tidy. I would not hesitate to book her again!
We cannot recommend Christina highly enough! Looking after four dogs is no small feat, but she handled our pack with such ease that we were able to fully enjoy our trip to Zion without a single worry. Her communication was excellent, and the frequent updates kept our minds at ease. She truly goes above and beyond—she is a talented artist and even gave us the most adorable drawings of our pups! If you need someone who is professional, communicative, and genuinely loves animals, she is your girl. We will definitely be booking her again!
This was my second time booking with Sierrah, and once again she did an amazing job! She’s incredibly kind, reliable, and truly great with my dogs. I always feel at ease knowing they’re in such good hands. She kept my place clean and tidy, gave my dogs lots of love and attention, and communicated well throughout the stay. I’m so grateful to have found someone I trust and will absolutely continue booking with her. Highly recommend!
This is our second time booking with Matthew and it’s always such a great feeling to have someone so caring for our puppies. Matthew is always so helpful! Our one dog is super anxious and nervous around new people. He had so much patience with her. We appreciate anytime he can dog sit for us! He takes such good care of them! Thank you! Will definitely see you again!!
Maaike did a great job with the dogs, she did provide one photo with the dogs, more would have been prefererred. Communication was great and prompt. This was a house sitting booking as well as dog sitting. Stripping the bed, taking trash out would have brought the rating up to a five.

FAQs for House Sitting - Washington
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Washington on Rover is $39.96 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 167 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
