“Xion was amazing! They went above and beyond in home sitting our dog over our Thanksgiving vacation. From near-daily text and photo updates, to even shoveling snow from our driveway and sidewalk, they really took care of everything and more. So grateful and would absolutely book again!”
“Jessica is wonderful! This was my first time having someone stay with Gatsby, and she made the whole experience so easy and reassuring. She sent great updates and the sweetest pictures throughout the stay, and it was such a relief to see Gatsby completely comfortable, relaxed, and just being himself with her. She followed his routine and medication instructions carefully, communicated really well, and took great care of both Gatsby and my home. I came home to a happy little guy! I’m so glad we found Jessica and am already looking forward to having her stay with Gatsby again.”
“Traylor did an absolutely incredible job with our dogs and was very easy to adapt to our dog that has mega esophagus. Like other reviews have said, our house was left in a very clean state, and she even went above and beyond with cleaning the prepped dog food containers. We will be calling on her services again, for sure.”
“Kerry did great with jaxsley and xena. Stopped over multiple times a day to hang out with them. Sent us messages and pictures about how they were doing. I would highly recommend using him.”
About: I have had animals all my life ranging from dogs and cats to lizards, bunnies, and snakes.

“Aubrey was great with our dog Luna and sent us a ton of pictures and videos while we were gone. We were in and out of cell service and we did not have any concerns as we knew Aubrey was taking good care of Luna!”
“This gal hit a home run caring for my pup. I didn’t worry a single minute with Bailey by my fur baby’s side! She walked her daily before the temps were too hot and tended to her every need. I appreciated the photo updates as well! Bailey is an ALLSTAR!”

I'm currently working part-time and have plenty of time to care for your furry family members! I am flexible to do part time or full time care. I will make sure your animals are safe and respect your boundaries in keeping your animals routines as consistent to your own schedule as possible!
“They took wonderful care of our animals and home while we were gone. Excellent communication, they left the house looking cleaner than when we left. Highly recommend. I would definitely rebook.”
“Jada was amazing house sitting to take care of our pup blue! He needs special medicine in his food and needs a few more potty times than most and we came home to a happy guy! Thank you Jada!”
“Candace did a great job. She was very communicative and sent a ton of pictures. Felt confident Candace would take care of Deuce. Will definitely book with her again.”
“Our usual dog sitter had to cancel on us last minute, so we were in a bind trying to find someone else to care for our sweet, special needs dog with less than a weeks notice. Big ask, especially last minute. Brandi was so quick to respond, happy to take on the job, and asked really good questions to ensure our doggo was well taken care of while we were gone. She sent pictures throughout our trip and made sure he had his medications at the times he needed them, and even took him to get a pup cup. She not only took great care of our dog, but our house as well. We came back to the house as we left it. She was kind, reliable, and we absolutely loved working with her. We will definitely be reaching out to her again.”
“Elva was a great house/pet sitter for us! This is the first time we have ever needed one for our 12 year old dog and we couldn't be happier with the service she provided. I appreciated that she was willing to come before we left to meet us and learn our dog's current routines. I came back home to the house still being clean and a happy dog. I will definitely reach out to Elva again for any upcoming trips!”

We contracted with Kerry to housesit with our 14.5 year old senior gal. Our last vacation was about eight years ago and we were very anxious about finding someone who would care for her with as much support as she’s used to receiving. Upon doing a meet & greet with Kerry, our fears were put to rest. After introducing himself, he immediately sat on the ground with our girl & waited patiently for her to approach him. He asked questions about her personality, habits, schedule, meals, etc while letting her get to know him. Between the meet & greet and our scheduled housesitting, they had several “walking dates” and soon grew familiar with each other. While we were out of town, Kerry sent photos and updates about walks, morning & evening routines, mealtimes, and he asked questions when necessary to ensure her needs and care were fully met. For anything that was a little new or unfamiliar, he took his time with her, giving her space & kindness to become comfortable with the activity. He also treated our home with respect. We’re so happy to have found Kerry! We would definitely recommend him for care, walks, housesitting for your furry family members. We’ll for sure work with him again.
Marcellene and her husband did wonderfully with our small zoo of dogs and cats, including a senior dog that needed medication and an overanxious dog. We met them in advance at the meet and greet and were pleased with their open communication. We received pictures and updates throughout the stay, multiple times a day, which was very important to us. They were adaptable and actively tried to be helpful with all of our requests. We came home to a clean house and happy, healthy animals. We also booked them separately for a last minute drop in to take our dogs in the backyard and they were super accommodating. We are very thankful.
We were a little nervous about leaving our two spoiled pups with someone new but Sami absolutely exceeded every expectation! This is her first time watching our dogs, and she took such wonderful care of them. She cuddled them, played with them, let Eden stay outside as long as she wanted, which is her favorite thing in the world and spoiled them exactly the way we do. We came home to happy, relaxed, and well loved dogs. You could tell they felt comfortable and cared for the entire time. Sami is thoughtful, communicative, and clearly a true dog lover. We felt completely knowing they were in such good hands. We will definitely be booking her again for future trips! Thank you so much for giving our furry kids the best weekend ever! Highly highly recommend.❤️
Caroline jumped in and saved the day for me as I was out of state, had a dog sitter cancel due to family stuff and was in a bind without service. She was able to stay with sawyer and without great communication on my end due to being camping in North Carolina. Would definitely recommend!

FAQs for House Sitting - Washington Terrace
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Washington Terrace on Rover is $38.85 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 1,796 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Washington Terrace. 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 Terrace 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 Terrace 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 Terrace 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.
