“Eric was amazing with our cat Pauli - he was really thoughtful and sweet, and even helped us keep things from falling apart when our flight had a last minute cancellation!”
“Kyli was a great sitter! My 2 cats were very well cared for and happy and healthy when I got home. They were comfortable around Kyli and she has a real love for animals. She checked in daily and sent cute pics. The house was clean and in great condition. She was responsive and communicative before, during and after the sit. I would absolutely recommend Kyli!”

About: I've taken care of dogs of every kind since / was 16 Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed and bathe their pets. I also used to take care of my own dogs when I was back home. I'm currently working part-time, so I'll have plenty of time to play with your pups! I'm available for boarding on weekends, and weekdays from 10 am to 1:00 pm sometimes. I have fenced yard & place to walk around my neighborhood. Give daily play and walk around.

About: Hi! I’m Paige, a lifelong animal lover and current graduate student. I’ve always had a soft spot for animals and would absolutely love to have a furry friend of my own someday. For now, though, graduate school doesn’t quite make pet ownership feasible – which is one of the reasons I’m excited to spend time caring for other people’s pets! I’m attentive, responsible, and genuinely invested in making sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for. I know that leaving your pet with someone else requires a lot of trust, so I take that responsibility seriously. I’m happy to follow your pet’s routines and preferences closely, whether that means walks, playtime, medication, feeding schedules, extra cuddles, or simply keeping them company. I also believe good pet care starts with good communication. I’ll make sure you know how your pet is doing while you’re away and will treat your instructions, home, and pet with the same care and respect I would want for my own. I’d love to meet your furry family member and give them plenty of attention, affection, and companionship while you’re away! 🐾 As a graduate student, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to build pet care into my routine and give each pet the time and attention they need. I’m intentional about keeping my commitments manageable so I can be dependable and present when caring for your pet. I’m happy to coordinate around your pet’s usual routine, whether they need regular walks, drop-in visits, playtime, feeding, or companionship. I’ll communicate clearly about my availability ahead of time and make sure your pet’s care is something I can genuinely commit to – not something I’m trying to squeeze in between other obligations. I treat every pet and home with the same care and respect I would want for my own. Before a visit or stay, I make sure I understand your pet’s routine, needs, preferences, and any safety considerations so I can provide consistent care while you’re away. Growing up with dogs and fostering cats from a young age taught me to pay close attention to animals’ behavior and body language and to let them adjust at their own pace. I never assume every pet needs the same approach – some want lots of play and attention, while others need patience, space, and a quieter environment. I’m careful about doors, gates, leashes, food, medications, and other potential hazards, and I’ll follow your instructions closely. When caring for pets in your home, I’ll also be respectful of your space and leave things as I found them. Most importantly, I’ll keep you updated so you can feel confident that your pet is safe, comfortable, and in good hands.
“Super communicative and easy to work with. She took great care of our puppy and was super adaptive to her reactive needs. We will definitely be booking again ☺️”
About: I have always had dogs growing up, ranging from collies to labs. Over the past few years, I've gained extensive experience pet-sitting dozens of different dogs, both big and small, with various behavioral and medical issues, and I've enjoyed every minute of it. I take pride in getting to know each of my little clients' personalities and providing their owners with regular updates, including great pictures. I ensure everyone is comfortable in the new setting. I have experience handling dogs with epilepsy, seizures, skin conditions, kennel cough, emergency vet visits, stomach issues, and elderly dogs. If needed, I can administer oral medications and always follow the pet's regular routine to minimize stress. There's plenty of playtime, and dogs often hesitate to leave after staying with me, which I consider the best compliment for a pet-sitter :) I usually take dogs on four walks a day: in the morning, at lunchtime, after work, and before bed. I live near the off-leash Marymoor Park and enjoy bringing my furry guests there! I make sure pets are safe and comfortable whether they're in my home or their own. I follow instructions carefully, like feeding schedules and medication. I keep communication open with the owner and address any concerns about the pet's health or behavior quickly. I always stick to the pet's usual routine to keep them happy.
About: Hello I go by Clover! I have worked at a pets hotel for a couple years where I was trained by people who have been in the field for many years. I enjoy the work and most important I love dogs. I don't work currently so I have plenty of time for your pets. I'm usually free all days, however Sundays are not available for me in most cases. Just ask about sunday's! I treat pets the same way I would treat a person: with respect. I try to provide positive solutions to any problems instead of ignoring the issue or worst reacting negatively which in turn may cause a pet to react the same.
“She was great! Very patient and understanding. I had a hectic schedule and she was willing to accommodate. When I had issues with one of my cats being extra stressed and scared she supported me and my cat the whole time through”
About: I’ve been caring for animals for almost a decade now and there is no pet to small or large for me I love them all and can’t wait to meet yours soon! I care for pets all day, every day and it’s currently my full time job and I can’t wait to meet some new fur buddies! I follow each pet’s routine, including feeding, exercise, and medications, while keeping their environment safe and stress-free. I provide attentive care, monitor behavior, and send regular updates, treating every pet with responsibility and care.
About: I have been a veterinary technician for 8 years. I have dog sitting and veterinary experience. I can administer medications and perform nail trims if needed. Im available for drop ins and overnight stays if this is needed. I also offer house sitting services such as basic cleaning and watering plants. Your pet will recieve the routine care and enrichment they need. I will monitor your pet for health related changes as I am able to notice symptoms and small changes that occur through behavior and body language.
About: Hi! I’m a stay-at-home mom currently taking a break from my career in scientific research to spend more time with my family. I love traveling, exploring the outdoors, cooking, and doing sports. I’ve always had a soft spot for animals and would love to give your furry family members the same care, love, and attention I would want for my own. I’m happy to spend time playing, going on walks, or simply keeping your pets company and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I look forward to meeting you and your pets! 🐾
“Brandi was absolutely amazing with my cat Izzy. She was excellent at communicating with me throughout the stay. She is detailed and thoughtful. I could tell how comfortable Izzy was in photos with her stretched out chilling and was clearly cared for when I got home. Huge shout out!”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Ames Lake
Ben did a great job with our three cats. He arrived reliably to take care of their necessities, and ensured each cat got some attention and play time. This was especially important for our most skittish cat who can be hard to coax out, especially when her brothers like to hog the toys. We immediately noticed when we got home that she was more interactive and assertive at play time which is fantastic. He always sent us pictures and short videos from each visit, and we looked forward to each of them daily. We would definitely hire him again.

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
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 .
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 , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
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 .

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.
