“Michelle was an amazing pet sitter. She was my first live-in overnight sitter and she helped me feel so at ease about the whole process. She communicated well prior to the pet sitting dates, and she sent me daily updates on how things were going along with pictures of my very happy dogs while in her care. I have three dogs with different needs and abilities and they all had a great time with her. I would absolutely use her again for future pet sitting needs!”
“Holly took great care of our pup and our home while we were out of town. She was clearly very attentive to him and sent lots of updates throughout each day. We were able to relax and enjoy the trip knowing he was very well cared for!”
“Joe is a fantastic human being that loves pets. His warm personality made the decision to book him so easy and my dog absolutely loved him, to the point of waiting for him by the door to see if he would return. I highly recommend Joe if you are searching for someone who is very communicative and sends plenty of photo updates. I will definitely be using his services in the future!”
“Laney took great care of our dogs while we were away. She checked in regularly and sent lots of pictures! She’s very easy to work with. This is our second time we’ve had Laney house sit for us, and we would be happy to book again!”
About: I have taken care of pets for friends and family including house sitting and drop ins for long day trips. I enjoy taking dogs on long walks. I'm pretty flexible with pet care and always willing to learn. I have experience with providing some medications. I work full time at a public school. I have time in the mornings and afternoons. Over the summer I am free throughout the day. I make sure pets get the love and attention they deserve. I enjoy playing with pets and making sure they continue to be active and healthy!
“Annie stayed with our very shy and nervous dog for 4 nights. She was patient with our dog and even got her to go on walks with her, which is a major accomplishment. The house was clean and the dog was fed, petted and loved. Not anything else to ask for!”
“Dylan was wonderful with our dog, Lacy, and cat, Carlisle. They both got on great with him and he was extremely communicative the entire time. He helped us relax during our international trip knowing our pets were in great hands. Would absolutely recommend Dylan to anyone!”
“Kyle did an amazing watching our 2 dogs over a long weekend - 1 of which is a 10 month old lab puppy with tons of energy. He was communicative and I knew our boys were in great hands.”
“Emma was a great sitter for our 3 cat babies. She was always quick to respond, left the place very clean, and gave them plenty of attention. Some of our cats can be slow to warm up to humans, but that wasn't the case with Emma (they seemed pretty comfortable around her and didn't hide right away). She also took care of our house plants. Would recommend Emma to anyone.”
“2nd time that Kristy looked after our girls. It was an overnight rover and she made sure to keep us updated and followed all of our instructions. We felt calm and safe that she could take care of our pups which is a great feeling. Would book again!”
“I cannot say enough amazing things about Michelle... although I'd love to say nothing and keep her all to ourselves. ;) Our Bernese mountain dog and cat absolutely adore her, and she takes the best care of them. We always get the most thoughtful daily updates from her, as well as exceptional photos to give us peace of mind that they are while taken care of. We came home to a spotless house, and she even laundered all of the linens from while she stayed here. Above and beyond as always!”
“Elaina was an excellent sitter, she was quick on the uptake and just the initial greet left me confident in her care. She watched Kanna overnight and was very communicative. I believe she went above and beyond on walks and play too. I got so many lovely photos and updates, would absolutely hire again and recommend!!”
“Carina took care of our Lab for four days and he had a great time with her. She was easy to communicate with, sent photos and daily updates. Having a stranger stay our house made me a bit nervous, but we had no other choice as our dog has new mobility issues, I had nothing to worry about with Carina. She came for a meet and greet in advance, asked lots of questions and really took care of the house. She even entertained my chickens with treats and collected the eggs. I highly recommend her as a pet sitter and would use her again without a second thought.”
“Anja is an amazing sitter! She took care of toby as he was her four legged kid. She also adhered to our notes and ask. Kept us updated about how he was doing at all times”
“Kristen was so amazing with our dog! Our girl has some anxiety and quirks and Kristen was super attentive and sweet with her. We got great updates and communication from her throughout her stay too. Kristen also took great care of our house while we were gone. Made for a very relaxing vacation for us. Definitely booking her again.”
“John watched our rambunctious 80 pound German Shepherd for the first time and he had great communication with us the entire time which eased my anxiety of leaving her with a new person. He got to the house exactly when he said he would and spent the entire day hanging out with her. Everything went really smoothly and we will definitely use him again because he is reliable and a good communicator.”
“Very thorough and responsive, we felt so comfortable leaving our two boys in Jon’s care. We were able to focus on our daughter’s wedding while we were out of state, without worry about our pups. We strongly recommend to anyone in the area looking for a reliable and trustworthy person to walk or sit for their fur babies!”
“Zach was a great sitter and attentive. He asked all the right questions to make sure he had all information needed to take care of our dog. He was flexible with our last minute schedule change which we really appreciated.”
“Mary has stayed with our dog multiple times, and it has been great! She also takes great care while house sitting and provide great communication. We will continue booking her in the future and recommend her highly!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Woodway
Kate watched our two kitties in our home for 3 days. We came home to happy kitties which is always great! Kate sent daily update and gave a long update on her final day before leaving our home. She also checked in a few times leading up to our trip to make sure we were both confirmed and clear on instructions which was appreciated. She also made sure to take out the trash and tidy up after her stay. The only small hiccup was prior to booking. The pricing shown on the listing was not the actual cost. She prices herself a bit different than all other Rover sitters we’ve work with. That said, the total cost was reasonable and we worked it out before I agreed to book.
Merddyn came over to meet and she was very nice and took notes. She spent time getting to know my cat and was easy to connect with. I would use her again, my kitty is a little on the shy side at first so it was nice to see her interact with her before i left. Will use her again.
Addisyn did an amazing job caring for our dogs and looking after our home while we were gone. She was incredibly attentive and kept us updated the whole time, which gave us total peace of mind. She was super reliable with their routine, making sure they got their allergy meds with dinner each night. Honestly, I don’t think the dogs even missed us! We returned to very happy, well-cared-for pups and will absolutely be booking Addisyn again. Highly recommend!
Kim took great care of my pets while I was away. My dog and cat were happy, healthy, and clearly well cared for when I returned home. She was also incredibly helpful when our travel plans were disrupted by a cancelled flight and graciously adjusted her schedule to stay later than originally planned, which I really appreciated. We did have a small miscommunication about overnight care expectations during the stay, but once we discussed it, it was resolved quickly and professionally. Overall, I appreciated her flexibility, communication, and care for my pets, and I'm grateful for the support she provided during an unexpectedly stressful travel situation.
Maya was extremely attentive to our dogs. She provided consistent updates, was communicative with us, and sent lots of photo updates through the day. We have a dog with a lot of medical issues and she was able to administer the drugs to her, no problem. We have another dog that has lots of separation anxiety and Maya was willing to stay with her for most of the day. We came back to a tidied up house. We appreciate Maya and we hope to be able to use her in the future.
Vika was wonderful! She house-sat and watched my dog, Winston, for 5 nights and did a fantastic job. She was incredibly communicative throughout the stay and left my home in perfect condition. Most importantly, Winston was very well cared for and happy while I was away. I would absolutely book her again!
Melanie took such great care of our cat Lilly and our fish. She sent pictures daily and spent time getting to know our shy kitty. Lilly is hesitant to meet new people, but within a few visits she was snuggling Melanie. It was such a blessing to know our cat and fish were getting attention and love during our 3 week vacation. Melanie truly has a strong connection with pets of all kinds and I am so thankful for her compassion and thoughtfulness in care.

FAQs for House Sitting - Woodway
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Woodway on Rover is $61.05 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 7,654 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Woodway. 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 Woodway 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 Woodway 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 Woodway 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.
