“Kory gave great communication before, during, and at the end of sitting. When he contacted me during, he had thoughtful questions and detailed updates with fun photos. He left the house in better condition than when he arrived! Very grateful and impressed. Pretty sure my dog had the best time!!!”
“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!”
“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.”
“Michelle is so great! Consistent and detailed information on how our pup was doing, lots of pictures. It was clear she read our notes -She was on top of it all! We felt so secure having her take care of our pup. She is wonderful. Highly recommend Michelle!”
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!
“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.”
“Kaitlyn was kind, professional, and very considerate! I greatly appreciated the daily report cards and updates. My kitty was clearly content and happy when I got back. She did a wonderful job!”
“Jenna took amazing care of our two boys🐶🐶 she certainly went above and beyond in their care and the care of our home. She kept me aware of what was going on each day and I loved it!!!”
About: I started working with animals in high school, accruing hundreds of volunteer hours at my local animal shelter, where I honed in on my passion for pet care. As I transitioned to university life, I started walking dogs on the weekends, and really enjoy getting to hang out and provide for other people's pets. I have open availability through most of the week, and for late-evening drop ins over the weekends. This allows me a lot of time and flexibility to devote to caring for your pets. Communication is key, and I strive to ensure all preferences are met during my visit/walk with your pet! I will frequently send updates, such as photos from during my visit/walk, and a little blurb about what your pet and I got up!
“Maya is our go-to dog sitter! Not only is she incredibly professional, but she does a great job updating us on how things are going with the cutest pictures. We trust her immensely and she has been so responsive and proactive when our dog is being a handful - for instance, giving her baths when she’s rolling around in the yard. We’d recommend her to anyone looking for a dog sitter who go above and beyond!”
“Erica did a great job taking care of our 3 dogs & our home while we were away for a long weekend! 2 of our dogs aren't the easiest to manage (they're reactive to other dogs, and sometimes each other) and she was able to manage them on leash and kept us posted on how that went. She even watered our plants while we were gone. Her communication was good and she left the house in excellent condition. When we arrived home, the dogs were calm & happy! We hope to book with Erica again!”
“Carina was amazing! She did so many nice things for our dog while we were gone. Her pictures were great and showed how content our dog was with her. She left our house in immaculate condition. I highly recommend Carina and will definitely request her help on our next trip”
“Jenifer was absolutely amazing with our Chelsea. She stayed in our home, kept everything tidy and was the companion we needed for our pup. We will absolutely book Jenifer again and 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.”
“I unfortunately didn’t have service for our trip. And being a helicopter mom it scared me BUT Michael did great, even sent me pictures of them, even though i didn’t have service i appreciated them once i received them❤️ I will 100% book again in the future and also recommend!!”
“Annie took great care of Desmond and our home while we were away for an overnight trip. She sent us photos of our happy boy and was very communicative. We will definitely book Annie again and highly recommend her!”

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.
