“Rachel was amazing & very attentive with Pepper. I left Pepper with Rachel for a decent amount of time (9 days), and she was extremely prompt & consistent with the time she came to walk & care for Pepper. He smiled in all of the pictures she sent me while I was away. Would definitely love to get Rachel's help again on my next trip!”
About: I have 2 rescues, both with their own different anxiety triggers and medication needs, that I have had for 9+ years. For boarding in my home, I have a fully fenced yard large enough for zoomies and fetch, and safe streets for walks. I am out of the house for no more than 8 hours during the weekdays. Friday-Sunday, the dogs get walks, plenty of outside time if they ask for it, and treats and love. Monday-Thursday, walks are either in AM or PM, or both. Access to fenced yard at all times. Let me know the particulars about your pet's needs/issues and I'll be sure to put away any items (plants, shoes, toys), to stick to only approved treats, and that they get time outdoors.
About: I have experience with dogs of all sizes. I also have experience taking care of cats. I take great care in updating my clients on what’s happening with their pets. I am experienced with administering medication to dogs in pill form, with peanut butter or pill pockets. I'm flexible when it comes to my clients' pets needs. In an initial meet and greet I like to ask how long their pets are okay on their own if I have to be away for an extended period of time, then I'll adjust my schedule accordingly. I always ask clients where and when pets are allowed in certain parts of the house and yard. I want to make sure they’re as comfortable as possible.
“Emily did a fantastic job helping my wife give our cat her two daily oral medications while I was out of town. It definitely can be a two-person job, so it was nice to know my wife would not have to wrestle with the kitty on her own. Thank you!”
“Casey is amazing! She watched my kitten while I was out of town and took excellent care of her. Great communication. I felt at ease the entire time I was away. She left my home spotless. Highly recommend! It’s so nice to have someone you trust in your home with your pets.”
“I can honestly say that Brooklin is the best sitter we have had. It is so nice to go on vacation and know that our fur baby and home are well taken care of. She goes over and beyond everytime. Thank you, Brooklin.”
“Christiana was amazing, she was great at getting Astra to come out of her shell and coax her out of hidey-holes to play or get treats. She met Astra on her level and kept her comfortable. Her updates were informative with fun tidbits of Astra's activities, which I loved. Christiana was also super flexible when I had to extend my trip, which took so much stress off my shoulders. I came home to a happy and confident cat, which is the best welcome home. Thanks Christiana!”
About: I am a high energy and highly empathetic care giver. I deeply care for all animals and enjoy getting them excersize. I previously owned a very high energy lab and pitbull mix. She needed lots of attention, training and excersize. I work part-time as a backpacking guide. Clearly, I love to walk! My passion for animals makes dog walking an excellent side job. I am very flexible. I care for each dog sensitively, depending on their energy level and need for direction. I understand that some need a more stern approach, and some need a little nudge out of the door. Every animal will get a steady and caring hand. Treats are excellent tools for training and motivation on my walks.
About: I have taken care of different pets here and there and try to make them as comfortable as possible as well as ensure they are safe in my hands. I have experience with young active dogs as well as senior dogs that require gentle care. I adapt easily and will love your fur baby as much as you do! My schedule is fairly open so I have the ability to be relatively flexible and meet you’re pets needs and accommodate to their schedule or yours. I will make sure your pet is safe and make sure to follow any necessary procedures or guide lines to make sure your pet is safe and cared for properly. I love instructions🫶
About: I’m just starting out with Rover but I have been a pet passionate person my entire life, and I’d love to meet yours! I worked as a veterinary technician through college and after, so I have lots of experience with medically complex cats and dogs. I also currently foster dogs and grew up fostering cats, so I’ve gotten to meet and learn about many breeds and different personalities. I’m honest, reliable, and I care deeply about the needs of animals. I also have experience caring for parrots, poultry, reptiles, amphibians, fish, and other small exotic pets. As a stay at home mom we are home and playing in the yard very often. I walk my dogs every single day, rain or shine, we love to explore! I have a securely fenced yard with a lovely garden and a big grassy area for playing. I love to treat new dogs like family and help them feel safe and loved.
“Lisa was absolutely fantastic with my cat! She was kind enough to clean up after him when he got sick and was very communicative with me while I was away! I would highly recommend Lisa!”
About: Have taken care of pets in recent years And administered medicine to late “father” to two wonderful kitties. Very caring for all forms of life. Usually on my project sites 4 days during work week. Pet care would be before and after work on these days. Weekends and the one day I work from home (usually Monday or Friday) would be full attention. I like in a 1,500 sf home with a fenced yard.

“Lucas was an amazing sitter! He was easy to communicate with, friendly, and made an effort to come meet our kitty so that we would feel comfortable and so would she while we were gone. He gave great updates and pictures at every check-in that gave me so much piece of mind and helped with missing my girl! We will definitely continue utilizing Lucas’s services whenever we are out of town and feel 1000% comfortable leaving our kitten in his care.”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Burien
London is highly dependable. She came twice a day for the last 12days to let my cat out and back in the house while we were away. She was very responsive to messages and questions, and went the extra mile (or couple blocks) to try and find my cat when she hadn’t returned for the day. We really appreciate London and hope she’s available the next time we need someone.
Tyler and Alexis are by far my favorite pet sitters! Tyler went above and beyond taking care of my elderly cat Jazzy. He sent many pictures of her and details of what he did to make sure that she got all of her meds, was kept clean, happy and even played with her-all while keeping her litter boxes clean and followed my detailed instructions. Thank you Tyler for such a great job and peace of mind on my vacation. I will be hiring you again for sure!!
We booked Paul to do drop in visits for my two cats while we were away on a trip. Paul was amazing with our cats! He was super communicative, sent great updates and photos, and made sure our cats were happy and well cared for while we were away. Everything was left clean and tidy. We’ll definitely be booking Paul again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable, caring sitter!
Ana took incredible care of our girls on short notice! She made sure everything was taken care of and took the time to play and love on them while we were gone. They really seemed to warm up to her quickly and enjoy being around her. She even stayed long one day after one of the girls ate a small piece of string during play time to make sure she was ok. We couldn’t have hoped for someone better!
Jeannie goes above and beyond. I can’t say that enough. She took such good care of our kitty!! She’s played games with her and gave her so much love and attention. She also did extra things while we were away, even asked if she could take the trash out for us on trash day! She’l thinks of everything and is so thoughtful! It didn’t take long for our cat to warm up to her and we feel so much better about leaving knowing our cat is under the care of Jeannie. Thank you Jeannie!!!
Harley was amazing and I definitely would use her again to watch my cat on our next trip. She was always timely in replying to messages and arrived when she said she would. I felt that she took great care of my cat and was able to administer his meds. I appreciated the extra time she spent for a meet and greet. It really help me to feel comfortable leaving my pet in her care

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
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.
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 .

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.
