“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.”
About: Hi, I'm Leah, and as you might have guessed, I am a huge pet lover! I've been incredibly lucky to be surrounded by sweet furry friends my entire life—growing up with everything from dogs and cats to iguanas and birds—and I have adored every single one of them. As an adult, I raised an adorable corgi and currently share my home with two sweet black cats. I hold a very special place in my heart for senior pets and for those who need a little extra love & care. My beloved corgi, Bamboo, who has since crossed the rainbow bridge, had Degenerative Myelopathy (DM). Caring for him taught me so much about keeping pups cozy, happy, and comfortable. I truly miss him and miss having a dog in my life, so walking and looking after yours would bring me so much joy! I'm also a very proud cat mom to two precious black kitties who have taught me so much. My senior cat, Kanga, has Feline Idiopathic Cystitis (FIC), which has made me well-versed in creating peaceful, stress-free environments for our feline friends. My other kitty, Kiwi, has asthma, so I'm completely comfortable administering medications, including inhalers and oral treatments. Since I'm self-employed as an artist, my schedule is wonderfully flexible and I'd love to chat about how I can help. I look forward to hearing from you, and tell your furry friend I said hi, too 🖤 Since I work from home as an artist, my schedule is wonderfully flexible! I can easily adjust my time to fit whatever works best for you and your pet. If I stay at your home, I'll be there to keep your furry friend company throughout most of the day since my work travels with me. Please rest assured that I will deeply respect your space, follow all of your household rules, and keep everything safe and secure (like food that is toxic to pets). I love building a bond of trust with pets by letting them set the pace for interactions.
“Holly is an absolute dream to work with! We feel so comfortable knowing she is with our animals. Communication is easy and we always feel looped in to how our pets are doing while we're away.”
“Kristen did a great job unfortunately we didn’t need her for the whole week but she did come in early one day and check on Rodney and the chickens and I really appreciate that. Thank you so much. Great job. Look forward to working with you in the future.”
“I’m thrilled to have found Dylan after our previous sitter moved. He gave lots of updates on my cat and when I came back the cat was calm and relaxed. I will definitely book with him again and do recommend him to others.”
“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!”
“Deyaneira is an attentive and caring pet and home sitter! She was communicative, detailed and it was clear our home and cat were very well taken care of. We would definitely recommend Deyaneira!”
“Michelle is the BEST! Happy, healthy, safe pets from the moment we leave until the moment we arrive home. Amazing communication and the house is kept clean. We cannot say how thankful we are for Michelle! We do not worry about anything while we are away. It’s like family is taking care of our pets and house. 🫶”
“Taylon has had three back to back house sits for me, which I know is not easy! She is very reliable and it was amazing that my pups got to know her over the past couple weeks. They were very well cared for and she communicated well throughout! I am so grateful that she was able to sit for them!”
“Kristy was great with our pup! She took him to the park and for walks. Communicated well and had a wonderful demeanor. She sent updates and pictures and left the house in great shape! Will definitely be using her services again!”
“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!
“Jon takes such good care of our dog Jax. You can tell how much Jax likes him. He gets so excited when Jon comes to our house. He also takes such good care of our house, and it is always so clean when we come home.”
“Mary was absolutely amazing with our two high-energy big dogs who have a very specific routine. From the moment we met her, it was clear she has deep experience with all kinds of dogs and truly knows what she’s doing. She was so sweet and patient with them (which is not always easy to find!), and you could tell she cared for them like they were her own. She followed our instructions perfectly, kept the house in great condition, and sent thoughtful updates. I also really appreciated how honest and proactive she was...she let us know right away if anything came up. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were in such capable and loving hands. Mary is just all around a wonderful person, and we’d love to have her watch our dogs again. Highly recommend!”
“Kory was Fantastic! We have two dogs, one of which is barely a year old. They have very spirited play and need separate walks, plus we have a cat who is picky about people, and we as pet parents are very anxious. Kory send many updates, great pics, was very thoughtful about their enrichment and getting to know them, and was very communicative about even small changes in behavior or digestion. Plus they left our house in great condition. We will absolutely keep booking with Kory!”
“Anja took on our 5 month old puppy for the first time for one night. It was our first time leaving her (and our 12yo cat). All went well. She took our pup for a walk that seemed to tire her out from the looks of the pictures she sent. All was in order when we came home.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Woodway
Our dog has fear based anxiety and we had some concerns about how to leave her for a vacation. Michelle has a very kind nature and loves dogs. On Michelle's pre visit our dog noticed and felt very comfortable with her. My concerns went away. While of vacation Michelle gave detailed updates with lots of pictures. It was appreciated and fun reading. Our dog did have a medical emergency. Michelle handled it very well and gave us frequent and detailed updates that afternoon and evening. I was impressed and glad we chose Michelle.
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.
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!
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.
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 $67.64 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 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.
