About: I am a reliable and responsible dog parent. I love love dogs. I have been taking care of dogs for the past 10 years and I’ve always had dogs growing up. I have a terrier mix called Betty that I adopted 6 years ago during the pandemic. I work from home so she is very happy and gets lots attention and walks. I’m currently working from home so I’ll have plenty of time to play with your pup and give them the love and attention they need. I will take your dog on lots of walks. I have a crate for when I need to leave the dog for a short time if sitting at my home. If sitting at dogs home it will depend on the home and dog needs.
“My senior cats loved Yimi. She is gentle and sweet, so they felt very comfortable with her. She is a good communicator and sent lots of photos. we will definitely be using her again!!”
About: I've been a pet care professional since 2016. It is the best job ever! Dogs are adorable and hilarious, yes, but the part I really love is trying to understand the motivations behind each dog. I know, food and walks, duh! But since adopting my high-anxiety dog 6 years ago, I have realized there is so much more to the doggie brain. Dog park trips are like an anthropological study for me!! I like to think I'm the Jane Goodall of dogs; I'm flattered when they confuse me for one of their own. Living among the canines has come very naturally to me, and frequently worry about the diminishing appeal of the human world. My mother has legitimate concerns that I'll never find a husband. Some have called me a dog whisperer, to which I say "Have you ever met a dog that whispers?" You can think of me more like a translator. Booking with me helps fund my education so that I can one day save the world. My dream is to help troubled kids find the peace and compassion that I have found in my love for animals. I currently work from home and have open availability. If your dog cannot be left alone, they won't be. My own dog does not like to be separated from me, thus I'm comfortable arranging my life around the needs of dogs!! I use extreme care in assessing the environment to experience it the way your dog is, thus better understand behaviors and antecedent cues, and what is reinforcing the behavior.
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 a patient, caring, and punctual pet sitter who genuinely loves spending time with dogs. I don’t discriminate towards any size baby (dog) or type of breed! I understand that every dog is different, so I always take the time to learn their routine, preferences, and anything that helps them feel safe and comfortable. Although I don’t currently have a dog of my own right now, I grew up with large dogs and have years of hands-on experience caring for them. One of my dogs was a Black Lab mix who lived to be 19 years old, and I cared for her all the way through her senior years. I also grew up with a 145-pound Rottie, so I’m very comfortable handling large, strong breeds as well as smaller dogs. During our meet and greet, I’ll ask about your dog’s daily routine, favorite activities, feeding schedule, medications (if any), and anything else that helps me provide the best possible care for your fur baby ♥️ I am a barista that works part-time hours so my shifts are usually in the mornings sometimes continue through the afternoon. I can do a lot of evening time walks (3-11pm roughly) just depends on the day! I can accommodate last minute bookings depending on my availability. Unfortunately I cannot be offering overnight stays at my house because I have roommates that have dogs and my backyard is very small. But I’m happy to provide house sitting services in your own place, which I feel will be best safety and comfortability, for your fur babies. My goal is to keep their routine as normal(how you show me it) so they are comfortable and feel safe while the parents are out of town.
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.
“Nicole was awesome in every aspect! She came over to meet our cat prior to the scheduled visits to make sure they were ok with each other. Nicole followed every instruction perfectly and was very communicative when things came up with our cat. Extremely grateful to have her care for our cat while we were away on holiday.”
About: Hi there! I go by Jackson (previously also gone by Esther), and I have been taking care of pets my whole life. Now I live on my own and would love to care for your sweet pet! I am able to handle very large dogs and am comfortable with cats as well. I grew up with 3 large dogs, and I now have a large dog of my own. I am free most week days, so I am flexible and able to work with your work schedules. I do work early mornings most days, but that won’t stop me from giving your pet the care and attention they deserve. The happiness of animals is so important for me, and I hope to be able to meet your lovely pets! I foster dogs through a great organization so I know how to care for dogs with all kinds of temperaments. I am currently looking to house sit, take care of your pup in my own home, or walk your dog on weekends! I have a sweet dog who loves a playmate, and we'd love to keep your dog company while you're away for a night or two! See my calendar for most up to date availability. I want your pet to be as comfortable and happy as possible while you're out. Whether playing, walking, or just keeping them company, I'd love to take care of your pets to your and their liking.
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. The pets are welcome to roam freely wherever they’d like both inside and out!
About: I’m a proud Corgi owner with over 5 years of pet care experience. Caring for my own dog has taught me the importance of patience, consistency, and giving every pet the love and attention they deserve. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or keeping them company, I’ll care for your pet as if they were my own. I’m currently focused on my studies, so I have flexible availability built around my school schedule including weekdays and weekends. I can handle feeding, walks, playtime, and litter/potty routines at whatever times work best for you, including early mornings or evenings. My home has a fully fenced yard, safe for pets to roam freely. I have two friendly dogs who are well-socialized and used to sharing space with other pets, and I always supervise introductions to make sure everyone gets along. If your dog needs crating or a separate space, I’m happy to accommodate that to keep them comfortable and stress-free in a new environment.
“Maura was absolutely incredible and was so sweet to our girls. This was our first time using rover and Maura literally gave us the perfect experience. She was always on time, took care of the girls’ needs, and send us detailed updates! We loved that she took time to play with them and they warmed up to her quickly which gave us a lot of peace of mind. She was such a blessing while we were gone!”
“Julie is a fantastic cat sitter. We will definitely be using her as our go-to in the future. Our cat is very timid and usually hides from everyone but us, but Julie was able to coax her out immediately. Julie was always on-time and sent us daily updates and pictures. Can’t recommend her enough.”
“Julie has been walking our 50 lb dog for several weeks and recently stopped over to feed and look in on both our dogs while we were away. I appreciate how communicative she is and she is so sweet with our dogs. Would definitely recommend her!”
About: Hello, I’m Jan! As the dog mom of two precious high energy dogs , I believe that a tired dog is a happy dog! ( & happy owner ) i would love to give your pup the perfect mix of exercise, mental stimulation, and affection while you are busy or away. If your dog is a high energy pup who loves a long walk & a game of fetch or a senior dog who prefers a gentle sniff and walk to explore the neighborhood, I am available to tailor every outing to their unique pace and personality. I am a NICU nurse who works long shifts and completely understands the trouble of leaving your dog alone for a while and would love to help others with that burden & dog parent guilt :-) I have a predictable work schedule up to 6 weeks in advance which makes it easy to work around other people’s schedule! I enjoy spending time outside ( even in the rainy season ) so I’m available pretty much all day on my days off from work! I personally have reactive dogs so safety is always my absolute priority. During walks I keep the dog on a secure, standard leash (no retractables for safety) and maintain full situational awareness of our surroundings. I never allow strange dogs to approach. For house visits, I double check that all doors and gates are securely locked when entering and leaving, and I always ensure your pet has fresh water and a safe space to relax before I depart. As a NICU nurse I am able to stay calm and act immediately In the rare event of an emergency My first step is to secure the pet to prevent further risk or injury. You will immediately be contacted as well as your preferred veterinarian. If it is a time sensitive issue, I will contact Rover's 24/7 Trust & Safety Support team for immediate backup and vet guidance while keeping you updated every step of the way.
“Mackenzie helped me in a pinch with a drop in for my pups! She was very communicative and took stellar care of both of them (one is a 5 month old puppy). Will be booking again in the future ☺️”
About: I have always loved animals and always had a pet or two when I was growing up. I used to be a human caregiver lol. Now super excited to care for you're fur babies of all sizes! Being a dogless person now since my fur baby crossed the rainbow, this is my chance to get my "fur fix"! I am currently working part-time and helping with my father, but I believe this pet-sitting opportunity would be a fulfilling way to combat stress and satisfy my love for animals. I'm accustomed to working in other people's homes because of my caregiving work, especially with seniors and their pets. I'm confident that, after learning about each pet's unique needs and preferences from their owners, I can provide them with the same loving care as my own.

London was great and sent a picture or two with each interaction. Kya seemed calm and relaxed when I got home, which was especially reassuring since she’s usually a bit anxious after I’ve been away. I would definitely recommend London and would happily book with her again!
Jeannie is so friendly and knowledgeable. It is very obvious that she loves her job. We had her drop in to see my dogs while we were away for a longer part of a couple days and my dogs were significantly less anxious when we got home. My neighbors even mentioned how sweet it was that they saw someone running in our backyard with our dogs. Jeannie is wonderful and will 100% be coming back with her first. We recommend for any other dog parent who needs worry free care for their fur babies!
Ashley was absolutely phenomenal with Magni and completely went above and beyond for him. Magni has had trouble with his eye and she made sure it stayed doctored the entire time. She took him on long walks so he could get out of the house and made sure he got all of the play time. We couldn't be more happy with Ashley and the time she spent with our boy. We will absolutely be requesting her again and recommending to everyone we know!

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.
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 Burien 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 .
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 .
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.

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.
