“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!”
“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 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
“Yeonnu was great with my dogs and very kind to help me with a last minute sitting job that I needed to coordinate with her and another sitter. It worked out perfectly and my dogs loved her !”
About: I've taken care of medium dogs belonging to friends and family 😊 I've brushed, walked, fed, played, and cuddled with many different dogs, so I've got you covered! I'm currently working part time and am a part-time college student, so I have a lot of time to put into pet care :) I love going on adventures in my free time, whether it is to new parks or hikes! I have a very large fenced in yard and pickleball/basketball court, so your pup will have lots of room to run! I'm also located very close to multiple parks/dog parks (downtown bellevue park, newcastle beach park, robinswood dog park, etc.!) and my neighborhood also has a large grass field perfect for playing fetch. My home is also spacious and equipped with AC to keep your dog cool in the heat.
“Kevin has been absolutely fantastic with our dog! She's very high-energy, and Kevin always finds creative ways to keep her engaged and burn off that energy. We mentioned that she needed to work on not jumping on people and also no barking for attention, and Kevin was great about reinforcing those behaviors during their time together. We've seen real improvement! Our pup is always thrilled to see him and is totally tuckered out—and happy—after each visit. Kevin is also incredibly responsive and communicates clearly. I especially love reading the notes and seeing the pictures he shares in the Rover cards 😊”
About: I treat your pets like my own family, blending 4+ years of Seattle pet-sitting experience with specialized care skills. Whether it’s administering medication, applying eye drops, or performing my signature ‘calming scalp massage’ to help with watery eye or anxiety, your pet’s health and comfort are my top priorities. From high-energy puppies to senior cats needing extra TLC, I provide a safe, loving, and professional environment. I live with my husband (profile pic 11) who often works from home and assists me with pet sitting, meaning your pet will benefit from the care and attention of two people. I have a highly flexible schedule. I am available throughout most of the week and during weekend afternoons and evenings. I can stick to your pet’s exact feeding or meds schedule and can tailor my visit length to your pet’s specific social needs, ensuring they never feel lonely while you’re away. Last-minute bookings are usually fine, just give me 24 hours’ notice if possible! I live next to Microsoft campus, where I take dogs on walks to every day. In my home, it’s a calm, pet-proofed space with zero hazards. If I’m coming to yours, I’m super careful about checking window screens and locks. I never force cats to socialize. Plus, I’ll send you plenty of photos so you know they’re happy and cozy staying with us!
“Toki was great- on time and took care of our care and out packages inside. We always received a photo of our cat. My only suggestion would be to also leave a message about the visit when there.”
“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!”
“Alison is so great! She was able to fill in for drop in cat visits when my original sitter had to cancel with only a few days notice. She followed all instructions and the cats loved her. Will definitely look to book again next time I need a sitter. I returned home to happy cats who didn’t seem to miss their human parents.”
About: I've been around cats and dogs most of my life and have a deep love and affection for them. As well, I recently started volunteering at Seattle Humane. I'm currently doing this part time, so I'm pretty flexible on availability on weekdays between Monday-Thursday. Though, for drop-ins, my clearest availability is between 8am-2pm. But again, I’m flexible. I can do overnights between 5pm-9am. I try to bring a calm, kind demeanor to the environment to put the cat(s) at ease; I will scoop the litter box, feed them, and if they show interest, play with them, and if not, I give them their space!
“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!!”
“Shana is amazing!!!! She was so wonderful with my sensitive kitty, Aspen. She gave fantastic updates, took some amazing pictures, and treated Aspen like her own. I am so grateful! Thank you Shana!”
“I had an amazing experience with Lydia! She was communicative, attentive, and took great care of my cat with genuine care. Regular photos and updates also helped me be stress-free during my time away. Couldn’t be happier with my experience — highly recommend!”
“Vicky is very responsible and caring, she took care of my cat while I was away. Really recommend her and will definitely rebook. Thank you so much for everything you have helped!!”
“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.
“Heather was great with my 2 Shih tzus for a home visit. She even came another day on a days notice. On time and sent a lot of pics with a status report too. Would definitely ask her to dog sit again.”

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).
Sherry is awesome. We just moved from out of state and have a pretty old dog not used to this climate. He was scared when we left him, and we have always boarded him in the past so he was quite difficult. Sherry was patient, and over 2-3 DAYS of feeding a growling, snapping dog she saw kobe turn back into the cool old dog he normally is. I can’t say enough how easy and patient she has been with a tough situation.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
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. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
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.
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.
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.
To find sitters in Bellevue with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, 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 use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
