“Ingrid did an amazing job! She was always on time, sent me a note and pictures, and asked questions when needed. We will look forward to having her take care of our critters again.”
About: I have always grown up having pets of various kinds including dogs, fish, small frogs, and hermit crabs. I have a special place in my heart for senior dogs because I believe they often get overlooked when they deserve a high quality of life, too. (Last year, my family lost our rescue dog of twelve years.) I have also had the experience of working with farm animals throughout the course of my life through participation in a junior farmer’s program, when I was younger, and then acting as a returning volunteer and frequent visitor ever since. I am particularly familiar with raising and caring for chickens. Any chance I get, you bet you can find me learning about, observing, or spending time with animals! I am a recent college graduate with a Bachelor of Science in Psychology and Spanish. I recently moved to Enumclaw, WA full time. In the upcoming year, I will be job searching for additional part-time work to start saving money while researching graduate school programs in the meantime. So, that being said, I have a very flexible schedule at the moment and am willing to find what works best with your own! I am happy to meet with you prior to caring for your pet(s) to help you decide if we are the right fit! Also, if you have specific questions, concerns, and needs, please do not hesitate to contact me. I am dedicated to providing a reliable and compassionate service. I will treat your pet(s) as if they were my own!
“Taylor is a wonderful and dedicated sitter. She kept us informed each day on how our two kitties, Bella and Rudy, we doing. Sent us photos and videos which we truly appreciated. We highly recommend Taylor.”
“I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for our dogs. From the moment we met, it was clear they had a natural connection with animals. She is gentle, attentive, and incredibly patient. Will definitely book again with Liz :)”
“Rachel was timely and friendly and took great care to make sure our dog was fed and had water and got to spend some time outside. We appreciated her willingness to be flexible with us when our plans changed a bit. We would definitely ask her to take of our dog again in the future.”
About: About me: I am a Project Engineer for a construction company, we a have a little boy and a baby on the way, and we LOVE animals! We have two beautiful horses, three wonderful dogs, and two cats. Eventually I would like to rescue a few farm animals and foster dogs. One thing that breaks my heart is seeing animals in the shelter or up for slaughter. I think every animal deserves a second shot at life and I wish I could take them all on. However I have saved a few horses from slaughter and retrained them to give them a promising future! Basically I work hard to give my animals and future animals a wonderful life! In HS I was an active FFA member which gave me the opportunity to expand my knowledge from just horses, dogs, and cats to dairy cattle, goats, poultry, rabbits, and swine. I also worked for a large animal veterinarian for 2 years as a vet assistant and gained even more knowledge on how to properly care for ALL animals. Ranging from exotics, livestock, equine, dogs, and cats. So your Fur baby is in GOOD hands! At this time I am only accepting clients for drop in visits or house sitting (I do not stay the night). As we just welcomed a newborn baby into our lives. However I am available at all hours to take care of your pet needs! I look forward to working with you! I am very attentive to detail and will follow your instructions to ensure your pets are well taken care of and your home is secure and exactly how you left it 😊
About: I've been taking care of pets since I was 13 whether it was my own, friends or family. I love to house sit and spend time with animals, I can feed them, take them on walks, and have play time with them. Im currently getting my brother on/off the bus 8am and 4pm and I am looking for something I enjoy doing to fill in the time I have open and available. How I care for different pets depends on how you want me to take care of them and if there are certain things you do and don't want me to do.
About: I have taken care of pets for the last ten years plus. We have had birds, mice, snakes, dogs, cats. I love them all. Any care you need, let me know. I take care of house plants and any other small chores you need while you are gone. I am currently recovering from a soccer injury and I am available 24/7. I start college back in September and then will be able to just do weekends but now I am free for you. I love pets, I will double check all issues and make sure they are cared for and loved.Food, sleep, walks, you got it all. Sensitive and anxious dogs are welcome.
About: I’ve helped numerous family members and neighbors care for their pets. I’ve always loved animals and have even owned some uncommon pets, such as rats. I have a lot of experience and enjoy spending as much time as I can with animals of all kinds! My schedule is very open. I can spend as much time as needed with your pet(s) once scheduled. I’m free all 7 days of the week! I always make sure your pets have enough fresh water, I set alarms on my phone for feeding times and alarms for if/when pills need to be given.
About: I’ve been taking care of all types of dogs for over 10 years. I have a very friendly German Shorthair Pointer who loves to play! I’ve trained many puppies who have all grown up to be well-balanced dogs. The last 8 years I have worked as a special education teacher and recently took a role at an outdoor school working part time. This change has freed up my afternoons and I would love to fill that time helping families take care of their animals! My husband works from home and I work part-time as a preschool teacher with plenty of time to play/walk/watch your dogs! We are free on the weekends, too. We love dogs of all ages and sizes. We already take care of our very friendly 4 year old dog so adding more dogs to the schedule is no problem! Ozzy is high energy but the friendliest dog! He loves all dogs, cats, and kids. He is happy to play and run but is also happy to leave other dogs alone if they don’t want to play with him. He is not pushy or aggressive at all. No resource guarding troubles or problems sharing toys or water bowls. I have a fully fenced yard with lots of room to run and play outside. A very friendly GSP to help socialize or burn energy. I am comfortable crating your dog if that’s part of their routine and comfortable feeding and administering medicine as well. Our day is structured to not only meet Ozzy’s (GSP) needs but maintain behavioral expectations as well. To ensure safety, when other dogs visit, I constantly watch their interactions to ensure good behavior/social skills and will intervene to administer breaks or corrections when necessary. The house has ample room to separate dogs if needed.
About: With years of experience in dog care including breeding and pet sitting many different breeds such as; Labs, Pit bulls, German Shepards, Dachshunds, and Corgis for our friends and family, I have developed a deep understanding of differentiating canine needs. Above all, I believe in patience and consistency, ensuring that each dog feels cared for whether they’re with me for a short period or a long stay. I only work 3 days a week and have a very flexible schedule which would make it easy for me to care for other dogs. I also have a very helpful partner I live with who also loves animals. I have a fully fenced yard with two very friendly corgis. Our spacious yard provides plenty of room for dogs to run, play, and explore safely. We have a doggy door so they have easy access to get in and out. We live in a very safe neighborhood with lots of pet friendly trails.
“Once again, Robin took great care of the pups on drop ins and they love her. She always goes above and beyond to make sure they’re happy, healthy, and safe….and spoiled of course.”
“Lauren was great. She came over when we were thinking about booking just to make sure that her and our animals got along. Lauren was very responsive to any messages we had and sent a summary and pictures at every visit. Our animals seemed to love her. Would definitely get her again if she is available.”
About: I've had dogs and cats my entire life! I honestly cannot remember there ever being a time I haven't had pets to care for and love on. My family currently has a Maltese mix, a Chihuahua, and two kitties who are 12 year old brothers. Our Chihuahua was recently diagnosed with Addisons Disease so I am currently learning how to help him live his best little life with his new diagnosis. I work a hybrid remote/in office schedule with a lot of flexibility. Weekends are even more flexible as those are not regular work days for me. I am happy to do multiple drop in daily visits or stay in your home to watch your sweet fur babies. Whatever works best for you!
About: I’ve grown up with at least one pet in the house. In the past I’ve watched over dogs with lots of medical care and also puppies as well. Im currently working a part-time job so i have lots of free time. My hours are all over the place sometimes, however i never work past 6pm I will treat them like on of my own. I can throw the bal with them, walk them around the neighborhood and give them all the belly rubs!

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 .
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.
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
