“Jenn was amazing! This was our first time leaving our cat alone, and I was so nervous. During the Meet & Greet, seeing how genuinely caring she was, and how well she interacted with him, put our minds at ease. She took excellent care of him, and we looked forward to her daily updates. She's definitely our top choice for pet sitting.”
About: For the past two decades, I've dedicated my time to caring for my own dogs and assisting in the well-being of family and friends' pets during their absences. Engaging with these animals outdoors brings me immense joy, as I cherish the unique connection formed with each individual. Witnessing the special bond that animals forge with us, just as we are, has been a consistently rewarding experience throughout my years of animal care. Incorporating pet sitting into my routine seamlessly aligns with my full-time job, as I dedicate my lunch break to check on pets. This ensures they receive a midday break, creating an environment where they can enjoy their evenings engaging in activities or simply relaxing, fostering a stronger bond. I specialize in caring for pets within the comfort of their own homes. This familiar environment allows them to feel at ease in their daily routines. I meticulously follow provided care instructions, ensuring the owners feel reassured about their pets' well-being while they are away.
About: I’ve been dog sitting for over 10 years, caring for dogs ranging from 5-week-old puppies to 15-year-old seniors — including my own lab, who’s now 15 and still going strong with lots of love and care. This experience has taught me how to adapt to every stage of a dog’s life, whether it’s keeping up with playful energy or providing calm, attentive support for older pups who need a little extra patience. I treat every dog like they’re my own, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for. Pet care fits naturally into my routine — even with a busy training schedule as part of a semi-pro soccer team in Seattle, I prioritize structure, consistency, and care. Whether it’s morning walks before practice or evening check-ins after games, I’m used to balancing responsibility and staying active. Caring for animals fits right in with my lifestyle — it keeps me grounded and gives me joy outside of soccer. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I do everything I can to maintain their normal routine and make them feel comfortable in their own space. I follow feeding schedules, walk times, and any special instructions closely, and I always take time for play, cuddles, or quiet companionship — whatever the pet needs. I treat their home with respect, keep things clean and secure, and stay in touch with updates so you feel confident your pet is safe and happy while you’re away.
About: I have taken care of cats and dogs since I was 10 years old, any breed or size. I even used to have 2 of my own before they passed away . But now i can’t house any dogs so id love to take care of yours ! I am currently in college at EWU and on the track and cross country team . I have class part day and run part of the day so hard to work a regular job and need something to do in the mean time like walk someone’s dogs or feed some cats ! I have an apartment so I unfortunately can’t board pets but can house sit or stop in most times of the day or week !
About: I have had several puppies through the past 20 years and I also work with the local shelter, fostering dog/cat litters and volunteer walking dogs. I've potty trained them and taught them basic commands with marker training, such as sit, stay, off and come. I also have experience with reactive dogs, our own are adopted litter mates that are dog, people and leash reactive. My husband takes care of our dogs while I am watching yours. I am caring, responsible and guarantee I will take excellent care of your loved ones while you are away! I am confident that if your dog is working on potty training, I can instill and reinforce that behavior. I love going on long walks or runs and would take your pet for fun at the park if they are comfortable with that setting. I work contract to contract and am now free during the entire day to watch your pets. I like to go outside every few hours, sometimes a long walk in the afternoon. With puppies, I go outside every half hour to an hour and reinforce potty training with treats and excitement.
“Dr. Erma was such a help! She picked up a job last minute. I have a cat that needs insulin shots and doesn't like other people and Dr. Erma was able to administer her medication safely while I was away. Dr. Erma was very communicative, professional, and consistent! I got stuck traveling in the Delta glitch and Dr. Erma was so helpful and responsive to extend her times and make sure my cat got her medicine, even though I came home a few days later than was planned. I felt confident having my cat in her care!”
“Joy is a wonderful pet sitter!!! I was gone for 10 days and she sat with my cat. She not only sat with my cat she washed the towels and bedding that she used!!! Not something I’m used to in a cat sitter. She was also very informative!! I’d use her again!!!”
About: I’ve cared for dogs of all kinds for most of my adult life. Growing up with pets taught me how their needs change at every stage, from energetic puppies to challenging personalities to elderly dogs who need extra patience and care. I’m comfortable adapting to each animal’s needs and treat every pet like my own. As a student, I have plenty of flexibility during the day to play with, walk, or check in on your pup. I’m rarely away on weekends and stay in the Spokane area for most of my activities, so I’m easy to count on and nearby when you need me. I’m respectful of your home and belongings, and I follow each owner’s instructions and routines closely. I have a car for any transportation needs, such as vet visits or pickups, and I’m very communicative, so you’ll always know how your pup is doing.
“Lisa has done drop in visits for us a few times. We have a challenging array of pets but she always keeps them happy and sends updates. She is a great communicator, even if you are not.”

About: I got my first dog Ginger (Golden Retriever) when I was very young maybe about four or five years old. When she had puppies, I helped my parents take care of them. After Ginger, I grew up around several other dogs including Labrador Retrievers, a Schnauzer, Boston Terrier, Chihuahua, Great Pyrenees. I have had six years experience caring for my partner's Shepsky who is high anxiety including separation anxiety and when my mom is out of town for an extended period of time I care for her dog which includes medication administration. I currently work part time and have a very flexible schedule and the summer off from school so I can adapt to your needs as a pet sitter! When caring for pets in a client's home, I first like to conduct a meet and greet to learn your pet's specific routine with tasks like feeding and potty breaks and medications and scheduled administration if any. I will stick to this to reduce anxiety and excel at providing consistent communication with photo updates as needed. I also believe in respecting a client's home and belongings and abide by the "leave a place better than you found it" rule.

About: My first job was a at a doggy daycare/ boarding facility but I have been pet sitting since I was 12. I’ve worked with puppies all the way through seniors receiving cancer treatment. I have a playful golden retriever who adores all animals big and small. I have experience bathing and giving insulin to cats too. I volunteered at a rescue ranch for a number of years and have experience with livestock. I personally have ducks, chickens, reptiles and a senior cat as companions for my golden. I am currently working 3 days a week for a tax office and am unavailable from January to April. On my off days I hike and take my golden to the river. I have a contract that I have been using since 2010 that outlines my safety procedures. When I am in a clients home I always have them review it and do a walk around of the home with them. From my years at doggy daycare I am pretty familiar with certain breed characteristics like the awesome heights husky’s can jump or the tunneling ability of a weenie. I also am very understanding about separation anxiety as someone who has worked at rescues. For walks I require a harness or collar the dog cannot slip out of. I require an in person meeting beforehand, if doggy play dates with my dog are requested we must meet on neutral ground first to see how they interact.

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.
