About: Daily routine to care for family pets after school ages 10-18 and 18-21 when family was traveling. I was a cat/dog sitter for previous neighbors and relatives. I have full availability for pet sitting, house sitting, dog walking or other pet services. I currently care for 2 cats at home on a daily basis. I take time to build trust with pets including sitting at their eye level and speaking to pets with a calm tone. I ensure all required needs are met for food, water, play time, medication administration, exercise, and affection.

About: I have grown up around animals my whole life, and as such I think I have a unique set of skills and experiences that make me more than qualified to watch over your animals! I have had horses, goats, alpacas, bunnies, cats, and dogs in backyard my whole life, and I have experience housing sitting all types of dogs, cats, and even the occasional bird. Caring for animals has been apart of my life since before I could even walk and because of this I feel confident in my ability to maneuver any situation involving animals and make sure they stay happy and healthy while in my care. I am a student at WWU and have a pretty busy schedule during the week but weekends are always free, and I could open something up during the week if needed, as long as it’s in the afternoon. I have experience with anti social and reactive dogs as well as super friendly and cuddly dogs, and I understand that each dog has their quirks and needs to be taken care of in a specific way. I can promise that I will always put consideration in my care for your animals based on their personality and comfort levels. I also understand completely how hard it can be to entrust someone else to take care of your animals, so expect lots of updates and photos from me to keep you in the loop of all their shenanigans!

About: I grew up with 3 family dogs and have had a variety of pets throughout the years: fish, tadpoles, rats, gerbils, dogs, and insects. I have pet sit for cats and chickens for my neighbors from the time I was around 8 until I went to college at 18. I have also volunteered at humane societies caring for rabbits, guinea pigs, and other small animals. I have experience training puppies, walking dogs and cats, and feeding and caring for a variety of animals. I have a very flexible schedule! I go on lots of walks and hikes and swimming trips that I would love to have a dog accompany me on. I am also available to house sit or stop by to feed animals. I will have a car that I can take animals in as well. Pets, especially dogs, are able to communicate their needs, and I plan on listening to them. If I am taking care of a pet in a client's home, that is also the dog's home and I will listen to what the dog needs.

About: Hi there fur families! I've always had an affinity for all living creatures but especially dogs. I understand the importance of connection through play, maintaining a positive, bonding relationship, and how to make them feel loved and welcome. I believe in making sure that dogs are truly understood in their own language (smells, sounds, signals, and treats!). I can be very comfortable in your home or make your pet comfortable in mine and make sure your pet won't miss you too much while you're gone. I'll be attentive to their needs and keep them engaged and out of trouble while having fun adventures at the same time. Animals in general, and dogs in particular, are one of the few things that truly brings joy to my life. I'm readily available 5 days a week to get out and give your pet the care they need, either in my home or in yours. I have a secure home with plenty of safety controls in place plus the experience in handling and animal behaviors to know how to keep dogs large and small from getting into anything they shouldn't and keeping their daily adventures to a safe and sound level.

About: I’ve spent my entire life growing up around many types of animals and was always taught to treat each one like family 🩵 I started caring for others pets around 12 years old and have taken care of many species and breeds of animals, owned multiple exotic animals of my own (frogs currently🐸), co-ran a pet sitting business for multiple years where I was watching up to 13+ animals at some points, and am comfortable with every breed-from the never ending energy of a border collie to taking it easy with a senior dog or sitting with them for an hour just to earn a little trust for anxious pups. I am a young, responsible and professional adult, I love the outdoors and taking dogs out into it, I am someone who thrives in an organized environment and am patient and more than willing to work with animals that need to build trust. My top priority is always the safety and happiness of the pets I take care of, always ensuring they are getting the mental stimulation they need as well as knowing their behavior and being able to accordingly keep them in situations they are comfortable and happy in. I work part time as a baker, I have the most availability saturday-Monday, but am available most weekday evenings. I love getting out into nature and am very willing to work with you to fit dog walks, sits or whatever else you may need with my schedule! I live in a house in a quiet neighborhood with a small yard, it’s directly across from whatcom falls park and I have lots of access to great trails and the river. I always carry everything I might need in any emergency situation with an animal I’m taking care of, I am very aware of my surroundings and am very good at catching animals behaviors before any situation has escalated and am able to prevent them, from both my animals and strangers. I have spent lots of time training and many hours learning about animals and the physical warnings they show in discomfort, I have always been able to safely remove or prevent my own pets as well as clients from a stressful situation. I have no trouble standing up for my animal if a stranger isn’t taking proper care of theirs and will always put myself between them and harms way.

“Zoe has been excellent! She is a great communicator, she is punctual, and she even came for a meet and greet and I could tell she really connected with my dog. She dropped in to play with my dog and documented the visit with photos. When I got home my pup was a happy girl and I could tell she was cared for well. I would strongly recommend Zoe for pet-sitting as she is very experienced with a variety of animals and provides an excellent service. 10/10”

About: I love animals of all kinds! I grew up with dogs, a rabbit, and a guinea pig. As a professional pet sitter, I will give your pets my full attention and communicate clearly with you throughout. I know how scary it can be as a pet owner hiring a sitter, and I pride myself on being trustworthy and dependable! Most of my professional experience is as a nanny and working with individuals with disabilities, and I bring , empathy, and care to each of my roles. Outside of work, I love getting outside (and walking your pups!), crafting, and cooking! :) I currently nanny part time on Tuesdays and Wednesdays with most shifts being about 6 hrs. Otherwise I am open for pet bookings at all other times! I am comfortable with harnesses, collars, and different leash styles, as well as crates. I am respectful of each home I work in, loving towards each pet, and will communicate with you throughout.

About: I have grown up around animals and have had multiple dogs throughout my life. I have pet sit multiple times, cats and dogs, and love to get to just hangout with furry friends! I am very active, and I would make sure your pets get lots of love! Currently I am free everyday of the week, so I can do boarding and help with pets that need more consistent care/attention. At the end of September I start school, so I may be able to do more of just daily walks and things like that. I live in a safe neighborhood and all of my roommates love animals! I have an unfenced grassy yard. I will make sure to follow each pets routines and instructions provided.

I really appreciated that Jordis was able to take care of my two cats for a very last minute trip. She was flexible and communicative, and was able to meet the same day for the meet and greet/keys exchange. She was great with giving my senior cat topical meds twice a day, feeding the cats, and taking care of the litter box. However, I did not hear from her about how the cats were doing or get any confirmation that she had visited until I checked in with her on the last day of my 3 day trip.

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Agate Bay

Frequently asked questions about Rover

Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.

Before booking, confirm:

  • the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
  • the care instructions the sitter should follow;
  • which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
  • how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.

Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.

The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.

Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.

If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.

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.

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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.

Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.

sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
