“Jill did an Amazing job taking care of our two little dogs and our home while we were out of town. We passed on their routines and the details of our house and she kept things running so smoothly, it was like we never left. We'll be reaching back out to Jill for any future travels, and I'm sure our dogs will be more excited about staying home with her than we are about going on vacation. Thank you, Jill!”
“Maddie was wonderful! She took exceptional care of my two rescue dogs that, after the first morning after I had to leave on a trip, got into a fight over a bone and she went into action taking care of both of them and making sure they had what they needed from our veterinarian. She was in constant communication with me and sending me pictures and updates on their progress and how things are going. It was the first time something like this had happened and I was so grateful she was the one who was there to take care of them. I highly recommend her for any and all your pets! She is truly awesome! If I could give her higher than five stars I would!”
“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.”
“Susanna was great. She was considerate of my dog, family and home. Her care allowed me to focus on my work away from home. Dasher welcomed me with ease upon my return which to me means he was not frantic with anxiety while I was away. Peace of mind for me and my boop.”
“Madeline is a dream come true. Sent updates on the cats, gave meds, and best of all, we left confident she could handle anything that came up. She communicates well, and we came home to house with no issues.”
“Mary did a wonderful job of taking care of our dogs. She was on time, great with pictures and communication, took them on walks, and threw tennis balls…we will definitely book with her again!”
“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!”
“Janesia was a fantastic sitter and we are looking forward to booking her again. Great communication from the beginning of her stay right till the very end. There is no better feeling than coming home from vacation to a clean house and happy dogs!”
“Anthea is amazing! This is our second time having her watch our dogs and it is so nice knowing the level of care and attention they will get while we are away. Anthea had great communication during the entire stay and sent us daily updates with lots of photos. If you are looking for reliable and exceptional care for you pet, look no further. We already have our next stay booked with her later this summer.”
“Lyla was a fantastic dog/house sitter! We got pictures and updates each day we were gone. Our pups were treated like her own and they were genuinely loved while we were gone. There’s nothing better than leaving and not having stress because Lyla was there with them! Everything was clean, dogs were walked and Lyla was great at communicating. Hoping we get the opportunity to have her sit for our pups again!”
About: While I've grown up with dogs and cats, I also have professional pet sitting experience taking care of dogs with diabetes, blind cats, guinea pigs, and even a llama! Pets and their caretakers have trusted me so much, they have flown me to their new homes after moving out of state for further petsitting assignments. I give emotional connection and comfort to pets while they're missing their humans, even reading aloud to them, because I believe it is an integral part of the job. Currently, this is my primary work, so I will have time to spare to take care of your animals. I volunteer regularly at animal sanctuaries and other orgs to improve the lives of animals. I have typically been asked to spend the night with the pets in the client's home, and spend as much time with them as possible, but I can also make daily visits instead if necessary. If you prefer I make visits, keep in mind the distance it would take for me to get to your place, and consider allowing me to make fewer, longer visits instead of multiple brief ones throughout the day.
“Erin was lovely and took fantastic care of our pups. Both of our dogs are difficult in their own special ways - one of them has a lot of attitude and energy and is aggressive toward other dogs; the other is blind, partially deaf, and incontinent. She seemed to handle them both beautifully with no problems and no hesitation. We received updates and photos of the dogs when we were on vacation. Erin kept us informed, was very responsive when we checked in, and was very organized and easy to work with. (She even went above and beyond and did laundry!) We felt that our pups were in very good hands and wouldn't hesitate to book her again. She has our highest recommendation!”
“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!!!”
“Amazing caretaker, so attentive and caring for our fur babies. Even our antisocial cat came out to hang out with her. Thank you Skyler for taking care of maxi and sister! Definitely going to be contacting you for the next time we need care.”
“Aislynn was so wonderful. This is our second setter through Rover and have had nothing but great experiences. It was great knowing Millie and Oliver was in safe hands during our day. I would for sure rebook with her again.”
“Merry is the best pet sitter we have had! She was attentive to everything even paying attention to the best time of day to exercise the dogs based on weather conditions. She sent lots of much appreciated photos. Highly recommend!”
“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.”
“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.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Washougal
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 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.

- 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.
