“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!”
“Jill does a wonderful job with our fur baby. This was our first time leaving him with a sitter and Jill made it easier. Scheduling FaceTime calls and frequent updates. Our pup enjoyed Jill’s company and her attention. He found a new buddy and we found a great sitter.”
“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.”
“Anna was a lifesaver! She watched our 14-week-old puppy, which is no small feat given how much of a rambunctious, high-energy handful a pup that age can be. It required a ton of hands-on attention, a strict routine, and constant monitoring, and she handled it all flawlessly. On top of giving our puppy incredible care, she house-sat for us and left the place absolutely spotless. It is such a relief to find a sitter who is equally amazing with high-maintenance pets and respectful of your home. I will absolutely be booking 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!!!”
“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 (:”
“Janesia did a great job with our pup Charlie! She kept in touch with messages and pictures throughout the stay. Our house was clean when we arrived home and she even left us some homemade cupcakes. She was very professional, friendly, and attentive. We look forward to her pet sitting for us in the future!”
About: I am a huge animal lover! I grew up with a dog and cats and I petsit for family, so I have experience with bathing, feeding, walking, brushing, and general care. I'm experienced at handing emergency and critical pet care response including taking pets to emergency or urgent care, administering medicine, cleaning puke/urine, and end of life care. I'm very patient with animals. My schedule is currently very open, so I will have plenty of time to play with and care for your pets while you are away! I am a very attentive pet caretaker and will ensure their needs are met! I have been told I'm very responsible and good with animals. I love playing with dogs and cats and keeping them happy and well-exercised.
“I was worried about leaving my cat for the first time, but Erin took great care of him! I received regular updates and pictures, and the apartment was spotless. Thank you so much ☺️”
“Absolutely phenomenal. Provided outstanding care for our two nervous pups and kitty. Provided updates every day including photos and videos. Took great care of our home. Can’t wait to rebook!”
“Anthea did an amazing job watching our pets while we were away for the weekend. She is extremely thorough in her care, both for the dogs and our house. She followed our normal routine to perfection and our pups were very happy with the care they received (which we could tell by the updates/pics she sent throughout the weekend). We are grateful to have found Anthea through Rover and we’d absolutely hire her again (and recommend her to friends).”
“Tiffany is fantastic! She treated my dogs like her own. She is not only trustworthy and kind, but she made sure my fur babies were stimulated, entertained, and given lots of love! She is communicative and always sending updates. I will continue to use her and I recommend her 100%.”
“Katherine is a great dog/housesitter. My 5 month old puppy is high energy and unfortunately still teething right now ( he starts professional training this week!) Despite this, she made sure he was well cared for and well exercised. I returned to a happy dog and clean house. Thanks Katherine!”
“Roree is an excellent dog sitter. She is very trustworthy and reliable. She keeps us updated with pictures and texts on how Willow is doing. Willow loves Roree!!!! The house is spotless when we return. When we book with her she communicates quickly with us. She is very conscientious and always arrives on time. We are so pleased to have found her!!!”
“Jan and Paul are just the best. Our flight home was cancelled multiple times and our trip away from our girls was extended. They were so flexible and accommodating in response. This was a godsend as there is nobody else we would trust to watch our babies while we are away. Thank you both so much.”
“Karen is everything you want when leaving an anxious weimaraner alone with a pet sitter for the first time. She’s communicative, sending updates by text and video to keep the anxious pet parents at ease. She’s compassionate, understanding Poppy’s need to speak out loud and sleep really close. She’s calming for all of us. We are confident we have found the perfect dog sitter.”
About: I've taken care of both dogs I've had in my childhood and began dog sitting for family friends for the past 2 years as they would go on vacations. I love walks and love to stick to a good schedule! I currently do not have a job and plan on spending most of my time with the pets I would be dog sitting or taking care of! I can easily crate the dog when needed and will keep treats on me to keep their attention if thats their motivation or if its needed.
“Isabella was the best sitter we have ever had! She was super responsive and communicative, extremely respectful of our home, amazing with our animals, incredibly friendly, and sent us so many sweet videos and pictures of our cat! We would/will book her again in a heartbeat!”
“Michaela is super attentive, and went above and beyond in taking care of our German Shepherd during a weekend trip. She handled our dog’s meds perfectly, and sent regular updates and photos that assured us that Lua was having a great time. Thanks again Michaela!!”

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 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 4,449 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Washougal. On Rover:
- 96% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 95% can help with daily exercise
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.
