About: I have experience caring for both dogs and cats. I’ve been the reliable friend people turn to when they’re away. Some of the routines look like: stopping in to feed pets, provide fresh water, clean up, and offer enrichment and play, and companionship so they feel comfortable and not alone. I also have experience house sitting and staying overnight for up to four nights, making sure pets feel safe, settled, and cared for in their own environment. I’ve been around animals since I was about 10 years old, including golden retrievers, labs, and cats, and I often ask to say hello when I see a furry friend out and about. I welcome different temperaments and adjust myself to meet them where they’re comfortable. I genuinely enjoy being around animals and aim to provide calm, attentive, and loving care so fur babies feel secure, seen, and cared for while their best friend is away. I am available all days of the week, between 9:00 am-6:00 pm, can provide overnight care, please send me a message. (Sun, Mon, Tues, Wed, Thurs, Fri, Sat) The goal is calm, consistency, and reading pet cues. 1. Follow their routine exactly Pets feel safest with predictability. Feed at the same times Use the same food amounts and bowls Keep walks/playtime similar to what they’re used to Even small changes can make sensitive pets anxious. 2. Do a careful first check-in When I arrive: I look for water level, food, accidents, or damage I observe their behavior (hiding, excited, nervous, clingy) I let them come to me rather than forcing interaction. 3. I arrive with a calm presence Many pets don’t need constant stimulation, they need steady companionship. I prefer to sit quietly near them, talk softly and let shy pets approach me on their terms 4. Exercise + enrichment (tailored to each pet) Dogs: walks, sniff time, fetch (if they enjoy it) Cats: wand toys, gentle play, window time I may suggest to keep sessions short if they get overstimulated 5. I like to help keep the home clean and safe by scooping litter boxes daily (sometimes twice per day), pick up wrappers or food items immediately, wipe paws if needed after walks, and keep doors locked and secure at all times 6. Respect their boundaries This is a big one for trust: I try not to force picking up or petting and watch for signs like tail flicking, hiding, freezing, or overstimulation. I let them decompress alone if needed. 7. I love the saying, “Leave things better than you found them” My fur friends owners say they appreciate: Clean bowls and litter areas, a tidy feeding/walking area, and the notes about how they did during the visit 8. I communicate clearly Send updates like: “Fed, walked, and doing well,” Photos (if allowed) and any changes in behavior or appetite
“Liliana was absolutely amazing with my dog Mailo. You can tell right away how much she genuinely cares about the dogs she works with. She sent me photos during the visit which I really appreciated, and it made me feel even more at ease. Mailo came home so happy, relaxed, and full of energy from his walk, it was obvious he had such a great time. It honestly made me feel so comfortable knowing he was in such kind and trustworthy hands. She was also very communicative and easy to coordinate with. I would 100% book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will truly care for their dog.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs all shapes, sizes, and ages, and feel comfortable with any dog under my care. I am currently applying to medical school, so I have plenty of availability. I have a degree in psychobiology from UCLA, and am knowledgable on several dog training techniques, such as positive reinforcement, shaping, and motivation. When I am not studying or working on my application, I love going on walks, and getting lost in a good book. I’ve cared for German shepherds, lab mixes, corgis, samoyeds, Portuguese water dogs, and more. I am dependable and understand canine behavior well, ensuring your dog is comfortable throughout the entire experience! Plus, I love dogs and will give your pup the love and care they deserve! I am currently applying to med school, so my schedule is very flexible. I wake up early, so I can begin walks as early as 7 am. When I’m not studying/working on my application, I love going on walks and reading books. I have a degree in psychobiology, and am knowledgable on several dog training techniques, such as positive reinforcement, shaping, and motivation. I live in an apartment complex that has a doggy area, and a dog park very close by to burn some of your pup’s energy! I am happy to host a dog here, or care for them at the clients home.
“Yuan has watched my cat 4 times now, and I can’t recommend her enough! She always sends the best photos and videos, which I look forward to. I feel completely at ease knowing my cat is so well cared for, with fresh food, water, and lots of attention every visit. It’s obvious she truly loves animals, and that really shines through in her updates.”
“Jasmin was super amazing and a great comfort when my cat unexpectedly became ill and needed some TLC in addition to the booking we had for the dog's potty breaks. Jasmin helped adjust our booking to include what was needed and provided awesome, prompt assistance with my inquiries. My animals and I adore her and look forward to working with her again!”
“Alison did a wonderful job caring for our kitties while we were away for a quick trip. They were so relaxed and happy when we arrived home, would happily have her again!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 10. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed and bathe their pets. I currently own a lab chow-sky mix, and she is the sweetest girl. I work from home, so my schedule is very flexible. Having a canine companion next to me at all times is hard to beat. I wouldn't want it any other way. My dog gets home made meals, health supplements, several walks/runs throughout the day, and a greenie each night to keep her teeth clean. I show her all the love that she deserves and then some.
“Lydia was extremely communicative and thorough in checking in on my cats while I was away! Her daily updates addressed any concerns I had flagged to her previously and her photos were very cute and goofy 😂”
“Mackenzie did a wonderful job taking care of Coco! She is a fantastic communicator and kept us updated with plenty of detailed notes and pictures while we were away. We came home to a very happy, sweet cat and a perfectly clean house. I highly recommend Mackenzie and would definitely trust her to watch Coco again!”
“Elissa took great care of my dog while I was out of town celebrating my birthday. She was punctual, responsible, and followed all of my instructions perfectly. She kept me updated during each visit, which gave me so much peace of mind knowing my pup was in good hands. I really appreciated how reliable and caring she was throughout the entire experience. I would definitely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and dependable pet sitter. Thank you so much, Elissa!”
“Emily was easily the BEST rover sitter I’ve ever used. She was booked to do 30 min drop ins for my cat while I was gone for nearly 3 weeks, and she was so sweet and communicative! I will definitely be using her services again the next time I’m out of town!!”
“We are very grateful for Jade’s thoughtfulness and care! We have two little doggies with very different personalities/energies and Jade is quite attuned to both of them. Jade is also very communicative, kind, and professional—and clearly very skilled with caring for animals.”
About: I have a 16 year old dog that lives in Colombia. I was part of his care for 9 years. I have taken care of friends doggies, I like to rub their bellies and pet them. I'm a good snuggle buddy for them and I like to play catch with them. I adopted a little baby rescued almost 2 years ago, he had some serious anxiety and lots of energy so I know how to deal with doggies with special needs. We love going to the dog park so he can interact and play with other doggies. He gets along super well with dogs and has made a few friends with the dogs I have taken care of. I currently work part time out of my home, I’m only away from 4 hours and can provide care for them. I’m usually able to accommodate drop off/pick up around 1:00-2:00pm. I live in a townhouse. There’s 4 floors and a open space kitchen. I have a set up of doggie gates to keep your pets save. They will spend their time if I happen to be away in the open space kitchen and will sleep with me in my bedroom. I also have a crate in case your pet is more comfortable sleeping there. Tons of doggie toys.
About: I've been surrounded by dogs my entire life and have experience caring for pups of all ages, from energetic puppies to senior dogs with special needs. I grew up with a Dalmatian, shared 16 wonderful years with my beloved Pug, and now have an American Staffordshire Terrier that is 2.5 years old. Through training classes with my current dog, I've gained valuable knowledge in positive reinforcement, behavior, and handling. I treat every pet as if they were my own, providing patient, attentive, and loving care tailored to their individual needs. Caring for dogs is already a big part of my everyday routine. My own pup enjoys 3–5 walks each day, including one right after breakfast and another before bedtime to keep a consistent schedule. We also visit nearby parks for plenty of sniffing, exercise, and safe socialization with other dogs and people. Because pet care is already woven into my daily life, I'm happy to provide visiting pets with the same dependable routine, attention, and affection they receive at home. Every pet deserves to feel safe, comfortable, and at home. Whether I'm caring for your pet in my home or yours, I take the time to learn their routine, preferences, and any special needs to make the transition as stress-free as possible. Safety is always my top priority. When introducing dogs to a new environment, I allow them time to explore and get comfortable before bringing out toys or other exciting items that could cause overstimulation or resource guarding. I provide plenty of supervision, maintain a clean and secure environment, and make sure pets have fresh water, regular potty breaks, exercise, and lots of love and attention. My goal is to create a calm, positive experience where your pet feels happy, secure, and cared for while you're away.
About: I have provided care for a variety of animals including dogs, cats and horses since I was young for family, friends and my own pets. I work a full-time non traditional schedule and I am available Sunday, Monday, Wednesday in the morning and afternoon to provide any necessary pet care. I can harness dogs if needed for walks. When caring for pets in the home, I will regularly check their water and food amount during feeding time. I will also make sure to take dogs outside regularly to relieve themselves.
“AJ B. did a great job with our 2 cats and 2 parakeets. He braved our dark back yard to retrieve a key for the house. Our cats were very happy and calm when we came home after a week. Would definitely hire AJ B. again.”
About: I've cared for several senior dogs with medical issues, such as seizures, and assisted in the recovery of a torn CCL. I also have 20+ years administering medicine that were prescribed by vets. One of my all time special skills would be the advanced training in the art of cuddling and snuggling. I am self employed which allows me great flexibility for taking care of your fur babies. I'm available week days and weekends with advanced notice. I have a large fenced in backyard, so lots of room to explore and burn off energy. I also have a medium sized crate if need be depending on individual fur baby needs. Whenever dropping in on a pet I'm very respectful of their property and follow instructions well. Whether it's my home or yours I take great care in providing comfort to your fur baby and make sure to give all the love they deserve as if they were my own.

Paola took perfect care of our dog on our week long trip! It is always nerve wrecking finding someone you trust, and I can say with confidence Paola went above and beyond. She met with us beforehand and had excellent communication the whole time, sending pictures and updates with every check-in. We will absolutely work with Paola again and highly recommend her!
Vicky was an absolutely amazing pet sitter! From the very beginning, she treated our pets with so much love, patience, and care. She sent us thoughtful daily updates and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind and let us see how happy they were while we were away. She quickly won both of our pets’ hearts, and it was clear they felt comfortable, safe, and loved with her. We feel incredibly lucky to have found someone who cared for them as if they were her own. We couldn’t recommend Vicky more highly, and we’ll definitely be booking with her again. Thank you, Vicky, for taking such wonderful care of our furry family!
Elissa took great care of my dog while I was out of town celebrating my birthday. She was punctual, responsible, and followed all of my instructions perfectly. She kept me updated during each visit, which gave me so much peace of mind knowing my pup was in good hands. I really appreciated how reliable and caring she was throughout the entire experience. I would definitely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and dependable pet sitter. Thank you so much, Elissa!
She did great with cooper, he’s a naturally shy dog but Liliana was very good with him. She sent pictures every visit and kept me up to date always. I can tell she has a love for animals and I would definitely rely on her again to deliver quality service to my dog when I’m gone.
Todd took amazing care of Finn during our drop‑ins! He was thorough, punctual, and makes dogs/pets feel instantly at ease. Finn can be shy/quirky at first with certain people, but Todd won him over immediately and kept me updated with photos and notes. It’s such a relief knowing Finn is in good hands. We’ll absolutely be using Todd again!
Toki was so so wonderful with our 3 month puppy! He played with him so well that puppy fell asleep for 3 hrs once Toki left - happy happy puppy! Toki was very respectful in our house, and took beautiful pics of puppy both times he came. We are excited to work with Toki again!
Our dogs were immediately comfortable meeting James. He had a very kind vibe and we all picked up on that! James was punctual, efficient and sent photos of my pups everyday. It’s our first Rover experience and we were very pleased. I highly recommend James, as do Greta (9 yo staffy) and Ollie (18 yo chi).

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Bellevue stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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 Bellevue 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!
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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
