“Chip did an excellent job taking care of our dog and cat during our day trip. He was prompt, communicated well, and provided a detailed report card with photos. Chip's punctuality and attention to detail ensured our pets were happy and well-cared for. Highly recommend his pet sitting services!”

“This is our second time booking August, and it was a no-brainer. She is thoughtful with our cats, detailed, and highly communicative. It was really nice going on this trip this time and having zero worries about our kitties because I knew August was both capable and thorough. I highly recommend her, and even though we're moving, trying to figure out how to keep working with her. She is great. Thanks so much, August.”

“We had Paula look after two cats - of of whom was a special needs kitten - over Christmas! She did a great job updating us and ensuring they were getting extra treats over the holidays, and was communicative about any questions. We came back to our apartment just as we left it, and to happy well fed cats.”


“Leaving our pets for the first time with someone who was not immediate family was not easy but Chandler made our very first Rover experience the absolute best-case scenario. I was extremely skeptical of using the platform at first and only booked out of necessity, but we hit the total jackpot with her. Chandler is incredibly kind, thoughtful, detail-oriented, and an extraordinary communicator. During every single visit, she sent photos of each of our pets alongside a thorough check-in update. She took care of our 2 cats and senior pup like they were her own. Feeding them, loving them, and cleaning up after them. She answered every question I had almost instantly, which put this super anxious pet mom completely at ease while we were away. I couldn't have asked for a better experience. I will be hiring Chandler over and over again, and I cannot recommend her highly enough to anyone looking for top-tier care for their fur babies!”

About: I have been trusted with friends and families fur babies for almost 8 years, and had many years living with dogs as well. I have experience giving medication, caring for dogs in times of stress and anxiety, and of course going on daily walks. I have stayed overnight with dogs whose parents are out of town and I have experience with bigger dogs, as well as smaller breeds. I have also cared for a wide array of personalities as all dogs are very different, I enjoy learning about each dog I meet and how to have a good time with them. I work part time and have plenty of mornings available for pet care, I only work late nights once or twice a week and am almost always available after 8/9pm if needed. I am often going on a walk daily and bringing a dog along with me is even better! I am always making sure to cater to a dogs wants and needs, whether that be outside time running laps and playing fetch, or having down time inside and just hanging out. I understand that each dogs needs are different and being able to provide them with a fulfilling day is something I love!
About: I’ve taken care of cats and dogs all of my adult life - from nurturing my own fluff balls to taking care of my friends’, I’ve got you covered! I understand that each of them have their own personalities, preferences and quirks, and will work with you to make sure that they’re well taken care of while you’re away! I’m currently working remotely (east coast hours) in a laid back job, which gives me a lot of flexibility to take care of your pets. I also get done at 2pm everyday, giving me a lot of time in the evenings. Not offering stays in my apartment currently (so that both my pets and yours are safe!) Whether I’m caring for pets at my home or yours, their safety and comfort are my top priorities. At home, I maintain a clean, pet-safe environment with plenty of enrichment and calm spaces for rest. When I’m in a client’s home, I follow your pet’s routine closely, keep doors securely closed, and double-check food, litter, and meds to avoid any mix-ups.
About: Experienced Seattle Sitter & Dog Mom | Loving Home Away From Home 🐾 About Me Hi, I’m Charlotte! I’ve been living in Seattle since 2016 and have spent my entire life surrounded by animals. I grew up in a house full of cats, and for the last 9 years, I’ve been a proud dog mom to my own pup. I am incredibly comfortable around pets of all shapes, sizes, and temperaments, and I would love to give your furry family member the highest quality of care while you are away or busy. What I Offer & My Approach * Peace of Mind: As a Rover client myself, I know how important communication is. You can expect regular text and photo updates throughout the day so you always know your pup is safe, happy, and having fun. * A True Family Environment: Your pet will be treated like a member of our family with plenty of love, attention, and care. Boarding & Daycare Details Because I have a resident dog, your pup’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. * Meet & Greets: I require a quick meet-and-greet before booking to ensure our dogs get along beautifully. * Home Tours: I am always happy to show you exactly where your dog will be eating, sleeping, and playing during their stay! I can't wait to meet your pup and provide them with a safe, loving environment! I work remotely and will be available at all times to take care of your cat or dog. I already walk my dog everyday so adding an extra walk solo or alongside my dog is really not any trouble at all. When booking, feel free to note I your dog has any special care, or if they have any limits to how long to be left in the house. On some days I might be gone for 1-2 hours, some not at all, and some special events might be 3-6 hours. I will however tailor this to the preference of you as a dog owner and your dogs need. We have a fenced-in yard and have a great neighborhood with safe sidewalks to walk your pets. We also have a house with limited stairs, should that be a concern. I’m also happy to get your high energy dog running/fetching as we have parks nearby.
“I'm so glad I booked Kris to to care for our kitty Dinah while we were on a short trip. Kris was reliable, followed all of our instructions completely, and was flexible when we needed to change the timing last minute. I felt like I left our kitty in good hands and wouldn't hesitate to rebook Kris or recommend her to a friend.”

About: Looking for someone to shower love and attention on your pup? Look no further! Whether it's a jog around the neighborhood or a sniff around the block, I'm here for whatever your loved one needs. If you want tons of pictures and a detailed rundown of our walk/visit, you won't be disappointed. I can't wait to meet you! I work from home exclusively, so my schedule is very flexible. I can do early mornings, long lunchtime walks, and love a good excuse to beat the afternoon wiggles. I'm available Monday-Friday, and weekends with advance notice/special circumstances. I'm all about rewarding positive behavior and gentle redirection. I prioritize giving your pup time to sniff to their heart's desire or helping them run out their zoomies, whatever they need that day!
“Brittany did such a great job with my dog! She updated me with photos, details of the visit/walk, and tracked the walks on rovers map. I could tell she has a genuine love for animals and I trust her to care for my home and dog when away.”

“Ale was the best and so communicative! I felt so secure knowing she was watching Sherlock (plus she's a miniature dachshund owner herself). She went above and beyond and I'd be more than happy to have her watch Sherlock again!”

About: I started a dog walking business in my neighborhood when I was 11. Now I’m back with many more years of pet care experience, and I can’t wait to meet your pet. I’m a freelance writer, so I have the maximum flexibility a schedule can have. I’m available any day of the week, and can accommodate most times of day. I do not care for pets in my own home, but I will treat your home with the same care that I treat my own.
“Anna did such an incredible job taking care of my pups on their first stay without family. I knew they were in great hands and the communication was amazing during the visits. Thank you so much for letting me feel comfortable being away, Anna! Highly, highly recommend.”

“Brent was great with on a first drop-in with my anxious little Pom. He quickly adjusted to ensure my little dude got a little bit of a walk. He provided a nice update and photos of the visit. Looking forward to having Brent visit again to cate for my pup.”


“Kinsley is a top notch dog-sitter! She visited our dog 4 times per day with detailed updates each time. We know Macey is in great hands with Kinsley. Highly recommend!”
About: Hi there! 👋 I’m a veterinary assistant from Belgium, and my wife and I moved to Seattle in 2025. My wife works at the university, while I’m currently taking some time to enjoy life at a slower pace — reading, traveling, photography, and working on some personal goals. Animals have always been a huge part of my life. I grew up next door to my grandfather, who essentially had a little farm. There was always a dog around, and at one point we had about 20 cats running around the place! 🐶🐱 So being around animals has always felt completely natural to me. My love for animals eventually led me to become a veterinary assistant. I’ve also had the opportunity to volunteer in Namibia, where I even got to walk with cheetahs! 🐆 Needless to say, I’m pretty comfortable around animals — so I’m confident your dog or cat will be in good hands. 😉 I’m also an avid traveler and have been lucky enough to explore many parts of the world. When I’m not traveling, I enjoy wildlife photography, which gives me yet another excuse to spend time around animals. These days, I have plenty of time and flexibility to help take care of your furry family members. Whether your dog needs a good walk, some company while you’re away, or your cat needs someone patient and caring to check in on them, I’d be happy to help. I’ll treat your pets with the same care, attention, and respect I’d want for my own. I’m looking forward to meeting you and your four-legged friends! 🐾 I am not working at the moment so I am free to take care of any cats and dogs on weekdays. On weekends I am usually gone hiking but if needed it is still a possibility. I want every pet to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while they’re with me. I’m attentive to each pet’s personality and routine and always follow the instructions you provide. For walks, I’m careful with leashes, doors, and gates and stay aware of our surroundings so your pet can enjoy a safe and positive outing. During drop-in visits, I’m happy to help with potty breaks, food and water, playtime, and plenty of attention. I’ll treat your home and your pet with respect and keep you updated with messages and photos during each visit. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your pet is receiving patient, dependable, and caring attention while you’re away.
The median cost per visit for pet sitting in Ballard is $25

Neetu replied quickly, and we set up a meet and greet. She was easy to talk to and was great with Baloo. Her drop-in with him went well. She left a detailed description of their time and did everything I had asked, plus more. I would definitely book her again.

Adria has once again gone above and beyond for our Lemon, Leonard and Jabba! Our dog, Lemon, is in her twilight years and that comes with a lot of extra care and cleaning. Adria steps up to the task with no complaint. She treats our pets like her own! And every visit comes with a full on portrait photoshoot for each pet. Adria makes our time away from our pets so much less stressful and we are so grateful for her!

Jenna went above and beyond to care for my cat, Juniper. She was great with Juniper from the moment she entered our door for the meet and greet. We were very confident Juniper was in good hands with lots of photos and all-encompassing descriptions of Jenna’s visits with Juniper. Jenna was very timely, communicative, thoughtful, friendly, and clearly helped Juniper have fun and feel loved while we were away. We would 100% book Jenna again and highly recommend her for any of your pet care needs.

Jill was absolutely amazing with our Gus! He was always so excited to see her, and she took such great care of both him and our apartment. She was always consistent, responsive, and so patient with Gus, helping him build confidence and work through some of his anxiety with regular walks. We’re so grateful for all her help and would absolutely book her again!

Mandi gave us an OUTSTANDING catsitting experience! It was our first time leaving Ike alone, but even after the very first visit we knew he was in great hands with Mandi. She clearly loves animals and really took her time building a routine with Ike, always giving me a thorough update in the app. Although Ike was happy to see us when we got home, part of me thinks he wishes it was Mandi walking through the door. If I could rate higher than 5 stars I would!
