“Kaydince was amazing! She watched our 2 fur babies at our house, where they fell the most comfortable. She sent daily photos and updates, which we appreciated gratefully. We will definitely have Kaydince watch them in the future!”
“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!”
“Sandra was available super last minute to help watch my dogs for the day in my home. She sent tons of pictures of my pups and updated me throughout the day. She was awesome! Her service dog came with her and was very well behaved as well. No concerns.”
“Justice was amazing! She was so sweet and good with the dogs. She kept us informed and sent pics to keep us from worrying on our trip. She went the extra mile on everything while we were gone! Highly recommend. Couldn’t be happier.”
“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.”
About: Hi! We’re the Emerson family, and caring for animals is something we truly love. We have experience with cat and dogs of all ages, sizes, and breeds and we treat every pet like part of our family. We’re reliable, attentive, and focused on making sure your pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. We also have two boys (14 and 11) who absolutely love animals and enjoy helping with playtime and giving pets extra attention. They’re gentle, respectful, and comfortable with animals of all kinds. Whether it’s walks, drop-ins, or just keeping your pet company, we’re here to give them lots of love and care! Justin works from home during the weekdays so his availability is pretty open. Jasmine homeschools our two boys, so our days are pretty flexible! We are open weekends too! We will feed, pet, play, clean up after, walk, snuggle, love on, we would even read to your pet if you want us to! We love taking our own dog for long walks and petting our kitty for hours if she would let us!
“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”
“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.”
“Tamara was wonderful to have watching my two cats! Very attentive and communicative to make sure everything is going well and that they're comfortable. She was very clean and respectful of my space and left it absolutely spotless for my return which is such a great feeling to come home to. I would absolutely have her watch my cats again!”
“We cannot thank Jaren enough for stepping in at the *last minute* to care for our three pups, Nari, Junior, and Yogi, over Memorial Day weekend! His kindness and flexibility were a lifesaver during a hectic time, and we felt completely at ease knowing our fur babies were in such capable hands. Jaren went above and beyond—not only did he shower the dogs with love and attention, but he even surprised us with a sample of fresh, homemade dog food! Our trio absolutely devoured it (no picky eaters here!), and it’s clear Jaren genuinely cares about their health and happiness. If you’re looking for a sitter who treats your pets like family (and throws in gourmet surprises!), Jaren is your go-to. **10/10 recommend**—we’ll definitely be booking with him again the next time we visit St. George!”
About: I have cared for dogs of all sizes and personalities for over 8 years. Friends, family and neighbors, plus others have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and care for their pets while they were away. I understand how important it is for pets to feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I treat every animal like family. I'm patient, dependable, and passionate about creating a positive experience for both pets and owners I am home most of the time and have a flexible schedule, so pets get lots of attention and care. On weekdays when I work dogs are safely kenneled for a short time until I return home. Weekends are usually completely open for play time, cuddles and supervision. I always prioritize safety, comfort, and routine while pets are in my care. Dogs can be kenneled safely if needed and when Im home they'll receive plenty of attention, playtime, love, and supervision in a calm, caring environment.
“Gigi was absolutely wonderful while watching our dog and checking in on our cat. She was reliable, communicative, and clearly cared about our pets like they were her own. Knowing she was checking in and keeping us updated gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Our dog was happy and well cared for, and she made sure our cat was fed and comfortable too. We’re so grateful for her help and would absolutely trust her again — highly recommend!!!”

Savannah watched our cat Taz over a long weekend, and we couldn’t have been happier with how everything went! She took great care of him and gave us so much peace of mind knowing he was in good hands while we were away. We really appreciated the updates & photos of Taz during her stay, and we’ll definitely be rebooking Savannah for future trips!
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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Washington on Rover is $38.85 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 174 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.
