“Junbo is kind, reliable, and communicative. She took care of my dog and place for over a week. My 7 year old dog loved her from day 1. Junbo followed the care instructions I left, sent lots of photos, and was generous with her time, the long walks, and day adventures she took my dog on. On the way back, my dog looked happy and healthy, and my place was clean and well taken care of. I’m happy to have found a great sitter. Thank you for your great work, Junbo!”
“Joslyn was fantastic! She watched our two high energy Vizslas for an extended period, no small feat! She regularly engaged with us via text and pictures which was great. We will definitely use her again.”
“Our 2 dogs were well taken care of by Georgia. She also helped out with my 96 year old mother, making sure she got fed her lunch and dinner. We will use her again.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since 12 years old when got my first dog. Very quickly dog owners started trusting me with walking their dogs as well and pet sitting them while owners are away. I have experience of dog sitting from 1 to 12 dogs in a household. For now I work full time, but I am in the process of transitioning to part time. I will be happy to assist over the weekend and visit your pets during business days after work. I keep animals in a safe, clean, and secure environment by following the owner’s instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medication, and exercise routines. I always supervise pets during visits or walks, ensure doors and leashes are secure, and prioritize their comfort and safety in any setting
“Ryasa is the best! We have dogs that are older and very sensitive but Ryasa was able to meet all our needs and more. Shes super friendly and professional. Highly recommend her.”
“Moriah watched my collie mix while I was gone and it was such a pleasure. She did a great job, especially managing my high energy dog and my dog’s medication. I look forward to booking her again next time I need a dog sitter.”
“Diya accepted to take care of my dog very last minute as my original dog sitter didn’t show up on the day . She made me feel very comfortable to ensure I can trust her with my dog & house sitting . Great on communication also . Happy that she took care of my dog at end .”
“Russell was fantastic with both of our pups! He was always providing great photos and videos while we were away. He made us feel very comfortable with leaving our pups with him and we would definitely looking to book again when we are away!”
“Marcea did a wonderful job watching our 11 month old Labrador Rottweiler mix puppy. He is over 100 pounds and has a lot of energy! He really liked her right away and very much enjoyed her company. She handled his teenage difficulties very well and had great communication. We’ll definitely book Marcea again!”
“Dylan did a great job caring for our dog Lacey. He sent us regular updates with photos which put us at ease as we were out of town for several days. He was dependable and easy to communicate with. I would definitely hire him again!”
“Autumn was great. She was very communicative both ahead of the stay and while watching our pets. Our big dog in particular seems to have taken to her very quickly and there were no issues when we came home. We will definitely reach out to her next time we plan on traveling.”
“Brandi was absolutely wonderful! She had great energy, was communicative, kept me updated, and I came home to a happy dog. Highly recommend and would love to book with her again!”
About: I have lots of experience with pets, and have been responsible for my family's dogs throughout my life. I have animal watching experience ranging from drop-in visits, walks, and overnight stays. I take extra time to care for the animals I'm watching, ensuring they are comfortable and happy. I also enjoy teaching dogs basic tricks, even when their families found them difficult to train. I hope to treat every animal I encounter with the love and care they deserve! I am a college student home from summer, with full availability from now until the second week of September minus two planned trips. I will have lots of time to play with your pets & give them the attention they deserve. I double-check that doors and fences are closed, leashes are always on, and carefully monitor your pets to ensure they avoid getting into anything harmful to them. Additionally, following all care preferences and routines can help pets be more comfortable
“Mikayla had such a calming sense of character and put me at ease using Rover for the first time. She sent updates with photos and was very responsive! I will definitely use her again if I’m back in town. Jack loved her!”

Sofia was absolutely wonderful with my dog. She took care of everything with so much responsibility and kindness. Not only did she keep my dog happy and comfortable, she also went above and beyond by taking care of the garbage bins and coordinating the hand‑off to my friend without any issues. I really appreciated her clear communication and the way she handled every detail smoothly. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing my dog was in such reliable hands. I would gladly have her help again.
We couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter! Heather did an exceptional job caring for our dog while we were away. She was attentive, reliable, and clearly treated him like their own. Our dog received great walks, plenty of care and attention, and we appreciated the detailed updates, notes, and pictures throughout the stay. Those thoughtful updates gave us complete peace of mind knowing he was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. It’s obvious that Heather genuinely loves animals and takes pride in providing excellent care. We would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter. We will definitely be using her again!
Dustin was fantastic. He stayed with my French Bulldog Mazie and my cat Dakota while I was traveling for work, and I never once worried about them. He arrived right on time, was professional from start to finish, and kept me updated throughout the stay with photos and check-ins that made being away much easier. He also left my place spotless — cleaner than I left it, honestly. Mazie and Dakota clearly took to him, and I’d book him again in a heartbeat. Highly recommend.
Ming bonded immediately with my nervous cat and not only loved on him and played with him daily, but even got him to lick up his hairball gel and sit for his toothbrushing routine. She did this for a month while also taking fabulous care of my saplings in the July heat. She went above and beyond with watering, especially since my lousy set-up meant that she had to lug 5-gallon buckets of water to pour them into my treebags. I would absolutely book Ming again! She has become Pomelo’s second mom 😻
Jen is amazing. She took great care of our dogs. Calming one down when I balloon landed in the back yard! She followed our instructions to the letter and even brought in our trash/recycling containers without being asked. She communicates and sends updates and pics, which we REALLY appreciate! We can enjoy our trips knowing Jen is with them!!!
Marcea came for a meet and greet and then a walk before staying with our mini Australian Shepherds overnight. They took to her right away. She arrived at the promised time for each booked service and was very generous by sending photos of their adventures throughout the day/evening. When my flight was delayed Marcea was flexible with her departure time from the house ensuring the dogs were fed and had gone out. We will definitely book with Marcea again. Highly recommend!
Sylvanna was wonderful with Obii! She was kind, friendly, and made me feel completely comfortable leaving him in her care. You can genuinely tell she loves animals by the way she interacted with him. She was patient, attentive, and treated Obii with so much care and affection. I also really appreciated the updates while I was away and when I got back! It gave me so much peace of mind. I would definitely book with Sylvanna again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy sitter
Fantastic and flexible dog walker, and overall pet sitter. Nika is easy to talk to and communicate with. Our pets loved her. She went above and beyond to take our dog to Marymoor Dog Park, one of his favorites for some fun. Also flexible - when our return flight was delayed a day, she was willing to pick up an extra day.
Teresa did a great job taking care of our 4 legged family member. She sent pictures, wrote about his day to us, and in a couple words - she cared. She cared about our dog-child as if he was her own, which gave us peace of mind. On our return, we found that she also took very good care of our home too.
Stacey stayed with Bodhi for 2 weeks while we were traveling. She was great with him - they immediately connected during the meet and greet (he can be shy with some people, but took to her right away). She sent pics and updates while we were traveling. Stacey was the perfect sitter for us and I cannot recommend her enough. Will definitely seek to use her services again.

FAQs for House Sitting - West Lake Sammamish
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in West Lake Sammamish on Rover is $66.6 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 8,120 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across West Lake Sammamish. 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 West Lake Sammamish 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 West Lake Sammamish 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 West Lake Sammamish 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.
