“Jessica is such a great pet caretaker. She’s very communicative and always sends us pics and updates daily on our pets. We felt they were in great hands throughout our whole trip! Thank you Jessica.”
“Highly Recommend Madeline! We had such a wonderful experience with Madeline! This was our first time ever using a pet sitter, so we were understandably a little nervous—especially because our dog can be somewhat challenging. Madeline was absolutely fantastic from start to finish and immediately put us at ease. She was incredibly timely, responsible, and attentive. We really appreciated the updates she sent throughout the overnight stay—they were just the right amount and gave us peace of mind knowing everything was going well. The photos she shared were an especially nice touch, and we loved being able to see our dog happy and comfortable while we were away. Madeline handled everything so professionally and clearly has a genuine love and understanding of animals. By the time we returned, we felt completely confident that our dog had been well cared for. We couldn’t have asked for a better first experience with a pet sitter. Madeline was wonderful, and we would absolutely trust her with our dog again. Highly, highly recommend!”
“Susana was an amazing sitter for our puppy while we were on vacation for the week. He can be difficult with being a picky eater and demand barking but she handled it well. We will definitely use her again!”
“Breauna was amazing with our dog Joey! He has some anxiety especially when he's separated from us but she did a great job of taking care of him and making him feel secure. She exceeded expectations by taking him on walks that were not necessary and sending us lots of pictures and updates! She was also very respectful of our home and we came back to the place just as neat as we had left it. Very kind and amazing vibes, well definitely be using her again!! Thank you so much!!!”
“Madeline is THE BEST sitter. She is communicative and just gets our quirky cats. This is the second time we’ve had her sit for us and she’s our first call whenever we need someone to check in on our fur babies.”
“Janesia was amazing with our pets! My dog is an anxious dog and getting her to eat is a bit hard when we’re away. Pepper was eating her meals, going on walks and snuggling with janesia the entire time we were away. Janesia consistently sent updates and pictures which made me feel so much better because I get nervous every time I leave my pets in someone else’s care. She followed all my instructions and asked questions if she was in doubt. She also left my home in perfect condition and left a sweet treat for us as a welcome home gift! She was absolutely amazing and I will definitely keep her as my regular pet sitter 😊!”
“Zahara did such a great job with my puppy! He warmed up super quickly and I loved getting photos of what they were up to. Thank you so much, hope to have Kai taken care of again by you soon :)”
“From the first time we met, and Ollie and Winnie met Dylan we felt an easiness. The dogs didnt response in a negitive way, but only wiggled, licked and snuggled with him. It made us feel so comfortable and at ease. Thank you Dylan for taking such good care of both our fur babies, but our house was still spotless and our flowers were watered and taken care of. We will use you again.”
About: Between owning pets for 10+ years and helping friends and family take care of their pets I have a lot of experience with senior dogs who require extra care and things like medication to puppies who just want lots of play time! I work from home which provides me a lot of flexibility in my schedule, both weekly and daily and whether it's taking pets on walks or house sitting. I live in a safe residential area and will take your pet on daily walks, I also work from home which means I am very flexible to work from any location and provides me with the ability to spend lots of time with your pet
“Amanda was an excellence sitter. She was knowledgeable, kind, thoughtful not only with my pet but with me. She provided moral support for me as I was getting ready to go through surgery. I would recommend her to anyone needing a sitter for your pet. She definitely trustworthy and your pet will be in good hands.”
“merry was great with my dog! they were very thorough and made sure they had al the necessary info to take care of him, and i was very confident that we would be well taken care of while i was gone! highly recommend (:”
“Did an amazing job of taking care of my two pups. Especially with one being dog aggressive she took extra precautions and did everything I asked. She sent me tons of pictures which I loved and was a very good at communicating. She stayed the night and had the house as I left it and even washed my sheets and made my bed after! All in all I’d recommend macynn for all your dogs needs will be going back for sure!”
“Izzy was amazing!! She was on time, communicated so well (we love all the updates and photos), took great care of our cedar boy. He can be shy with walks with new people but she gave him lots of treats and patience and he ended up walking with her multiple times during her stay! We can’t wait to book her again :)”
About: I am an experienced pet owner, with a lifelong love of all animals: especially dogs. I know how important it is to find someone you trust with your fur-babies, and I have a lot of experience with a wide range of ages, needs and puppy personalities. I am an avid runner and naturist and love taking dogs on the myriad trails and walks surrounding our area. Your dog will get plenty of exercise and play time if they want it, or could be a total lounge and snuggle-bug in the calm indoors. I'm happy to tailor my care to your dog's needs and routine. I am happy to keep you updated on how your pet's stay is going, ready to send those glamor shots your way. I'm also adept at getting even the most stubborn of pups to take their medications without fuss. We can't wait to meet you and your four-legged bestie! I work from home and my wife has weekends, holidays and Summers off. Between us, we have a lot of time, energy and snuggles to devote to your pup. Our dogs thrive on a set routine for feeding, potty breaks and outdoor adventures, so your friend will be in good company. We have two lovable hounds that enjoy making new friends and we have a secure, fenced yard. My schedule allows for frequent check-ins or stays at your place, should you prefer house-sitting.
“Erin took great care for our pups! She definitely has a great love for your pets! It is helpful to be at peace while you’re away! She also house sit as well and kept everything organized. Thank you Erin! We will use her again! She is a great pet lover! By the way Annie is a pup 4 months now!”

“Anthea was great from the start! Very detailed and provided instant peace of mind for me. My dog was happy and healthy upon return, and our house was better than we left it!!”

I could not really put into words just how awesome Madeline is. She did so amazing with both our dogs, and especially well with our Shepherd-mix! He can be an interesting one, especially around new folks, but Madeline handled both of our beasts like the professional she is! Will definitely book again! Thanks Madeline!!
Anna is an actual angel when it comes to pet sitters! She took such amazing care of my sweet old man pug, Riley who’s admittedly a bit of a diva and a tad high maintenance. She would report back all of his funny quirks to the point where I knew she wasn’t just doing “a job”- she was bonding with him in a way that made me feel completely as ease and I knew he was receiving the same love I give him. This is rare. She is a GEM! He fell so in looove with her that I actually think he thought she was his new momma while I was out of town for 2 weeks. She stayed in my home while watching him and when I came back, the place was better than I left it, absolutely impeccable! She went above and beyond with cleaning/ laundry so that when I came home, i didn’t have to fuss with anything. Her care for Riley and my home went above and beyond. I even came home to flowers and a sweet card from her as she knew I was away to be with my family as my Grandma went thru hospice. Anna is the type of sitter you want to hire again and again because of the trust she cultivates so easily thru her actions and communication. She’s just such a good human in general. 100/10 DEF RECOMMEND!
Absolutely wonderful! We have two standard poodles that have very specific needs. Megan was great in our home and with the pups. She's responsible, timely, clean, and respectful. I felt confident with her in our house and gave us regular updates! I'll definitely be using her services again
Kristy was stellar! She gave my dog and elderly kitty the sweetest TLC and sent amazing photo and video updates. She was in regular communication throughout the weekend and even washed the sheets and towels before leaving. I'm so glad I found her! I'd ask her back in a heartbeat!
Amanda, Sav and Daisy were incredible companions for our dog, Waffles. They all made sure Waffles was spoiled, giving her lots of exercise, treats and cuddles. Our house was very clean and taken care of. Amanda was very communicative and accommodating. I would certainly recommend!

FAQs for House Sitting - Washougal
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Washougal on Rover is $55.5 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 4,442 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Washougal. 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 Washougal 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 Washougal 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 Washougal 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.
