“Silvana took care of our cat and 2 birds while we were out of town for the weekend. She did a wonderful job and we couldn't have been happier with the attentive care she provided. She clearly followed my instructions, sent detailed updates on how they were doing, and sent some great photos! Thank you Silvana! We would love to hire you again!”
“Emma did a great job taking care of our kitty while we were away. She was always on time and followed the instructions well. My cat seemed to enjoy her company. Definitely will work with her again.”
“Erin provided wonderful care for my cats! She has great communication & my babies are lucky to have such a caring sitter. She has a calming and reassuring presence and will win over the shyest of cats. Thank you!”
About: No time spent with a pet is wasted! I love animals so much, and am super accommodating to the type of attention they want. My cats and dog are so important to me-as I imagine yours are to you-so I’d love to help take care of yours while you’re away! I am currently working freelance roles, so my availability is very open and flexible. This means I’m happy to accommodate yours pets usual routine times. Pets are so special. I will provide both a calming and/or energetic presence depending on their personality. I’m very reliable and on-time, and will make sure your pets needs and wants are met!
About: I have experience caring for dogs of all energy levels, from playful puppies to senior dogs who need a little extra patience and care. I also have experience with cats and a variety of animals. Over the years, I've cared for everything from iguanas to ferrets and truly enjoy working with animals of all kinds. I currently work part-time, typically during the mornings, which leaves the rest of my day flexible for pet care. This allows me to provide attentive care, regular potty breaks, exercise, playtime, feeding, and plenty of companionship throughout the day. I have a lifelong love of animals and enjoy making them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. During our meet and greet, I'll take the time to learn about your pet's routine, needs, personality, and any special quirks or preferences. My goal is to provide consistent, attentive care that helps your pet feel comfortable, safe, and happy while you're away.
“Mindy is great! They’ve taken care of our pups multiple times and we’ll keep booking so long as they’re available. Great and timely communication, wonderful care, cute pics of our pups.”
About: Hello! My name is Ananya and I am currently an undergrad student. I have flexible hours and would love to use my time to help care for your pets. Animals have always been a joyful part of my life and have inspired my choice in schooling. I spent hours bonding with my nanny's dog growing up and helping friends care for their pets. These experiences taught me the importance of active playtime, consistent routines, and the gentleness required for animal care. I also bring formal animal handling experience from my time volunteering at the Sammamish Animal Sanctuary. While my time there was spent caring for farm animals, it instilled in me a deep sense of responsibility, understanding of the importance of safety protocols, and the ability to read animal body language. I treat every pet with respect, patience, and enthusiasm. I look forward to helping out in any way I can! I am currently taking a summer class and I drive my siblings to practice during the week. However, I am available most weekdays before 9:00am and after 12:00pm. Except on Mondays as I am unavailable after 5:00pm. Weekends are completely free aside from occasional plans. During the school year my schedule is variable and I will update my availability at the end of September. For house sitting and drop-in visits I will treat your home with care and adhere to any routines and rules. I respect your pets schedule for feeding, potty breaks, enrichment, and relaxation to minimize anxiety. I will also send updates so you never have to wonder what your pet is doing. For walking services my focus is safety, communication, and fun! I make sure your pup is prepped and all gear is good to go before heading out. I will monitor weather and avoid busy areas as your pets comfort is my priority. I treat walks as the highlight of the day and encourage sniffing time, play, lots of positive encouragement, and of course potty breaks. And for all my services, I am not afraid to get my hands dirty and keep things clean.
About: I LOVE dogs of all types, especially medium to large breeds that love to walk. I have owned multiple dogs at one time and we live in a great location, by the river with lots of trails & dog friendly walking terrain. We have a fully fenced yard with lots of room to roam, allowing for frisbee & ball play time keeping the pups & humans engaged. Your fur friend will not be alone & we will offer free pets, walks & play time, as we have a pup as well who is Mr. Social! I’m currently working part time as a fitness coach close by & sub teacher & generally home most of the time. I love medium to large dogs, but just recently lost our 17 year old little dog. I have a fully fenced yard and always monitor our dogs outside. Inside, we use a fenced off area to keep dogs out of kitchen & downstairs. I prefer no dogs on furniture and up to date on vaccines.
“Elizabeth is such a kind human and went above and behind to take care of our two kitties & home! I would highly recommend booking with her and will definitely use her in the future :)”
“Timea was a great pet sitter! Communication was excellent, and her daily reports were very detailed, giving me total peace of mind while away. She was super accommodating with our schedule and needs. I would rebook with her in a heartbeat and highly recommend her!”
“Thank you, Ashlei for SAVING THE DAY(s)! Great communication, trust worthy, on time, and flexible! The dogs were so grateful to have someone come by and let them out and spend time with them while I was away for work, thank you so much!”
“Zhaoli did a great job checking in on our Winnie. She was very communicative with us throughout her 2 visits. Our girl gets very scared at first but warmed up soon to her. Zhaoli left the house in great shape as well. I would definitely recommend her. Thanks so much for taking care of Winnie while we were out!”
“Valentina watched my 2 cats on short notice and she took great care of them. She is reliable and responsible. She sent great notes about her visits and lots of pictures. I recommend her and would book her again!”
“Elizabeth was amazing!! Responsive, responsible, friendly and terrific with our cats, fish and hamster! The pictures she sent were hilarious and she even got our shy cat to come out for some pets. Communication was easy and she didn’t hesitate to text with questions. Will definitely call on her again.”
“Lindsay was amazing! She took notes at the meet and greet for some slightly complicated feeding instructions, and it was a huge plus that she’s such a good photographer of our cats! Our shyest cat flopped on the ground during her last visit, which is a very good sign that she trusts her! Will definitely use Lindsay again if she’s available!”
“Cynthia, as always, was my important connection to my little Ragdoll girls. She always gives me the reassurance I need to go away for a few days. Thank you. Cynthia!”
About: We offer an attentive boarding environment where dogs can be active or relaxed - tailored to what they need. We board only one pet (or pet family) at a time, so your pets receive focused attention and a predictable environment. I work from home, so I’m generally around all day for supervision, companionship, and consistency. This is a great fit for dogs who enjoy being part of the household rather than left alone for long stretches. I have a lifetime of experience caring for animals of all kinds - dogs, cats, chickens, rabbits, ferrets, and more - which has made me observant, adaptable, and comfortable reading different personalities and needs. I’ve loved them all, from playful youngsters to slower seniors, anxious or outgoing, big or small. Our Home & Setup: - Large, fully fenced backyard for zoomies and fetch. - Rotating variety of interesting neighborhood walks and local adventures. - Positive reinforcement only. - Prioritize safety: no off-leash activity unless explicitly approved, separated feeding. - Canine/feline CPR & First Aid certified - Carry individual pet sitting insurance - Daily updates & photos (if desired) Our Resident Animals: We have a friendly 3-year-old female herding-mix who enjoys making new dog friends, plus two dog-savvy cats. Initial introductions are slow and intentional to prioritize safety. Best Fit/Boundaries: - We’re a flexible home, but extreme behaviors that demand uninterrupted supervision won't be the best fit (such as significant aggression or severe separation anxiety or escape artistry). - If dogs are known chewers, we ask that they be comfortable being crated. - Dogs that are known to be respectful of feline boundaries will be the best fit so everyone stays relaxed and stress-free. Meet & Greets: - Required for all boarding and drop-ins to establish familiarity and understand preferences. - Boarding meet-and-greets may happen in two steps (either same or separate day): 1. Dog introductions in a neutral location (like a local park), 2. A home visit for familiarity and cat compatibility. - For boarding stays longer than 3 days, we require a trial daycare day to confirm fit and avoid surprises while you’re away. Rover is built around dogs and cats, but if you have a more unique menagerie—let’s chat! I work from home 95% of the time but very occasionally have work obligation or appointment that keeps me away for <6 hours. Interacting with own pets is the highlight of my day and your pets will get their own special dose of attention. Indoors, your dog will have run of the house unless they are typically in a crate as part of your routine, or showing signs of needing to be separated for calming or safety reasons. They are able to sleep wherever they are comfortable - on their bed, on our bed, on the couch. Access to the outdoors is controlled. Our yard is fully fenced fenced and we have a 50 foot cable leash system if needed. We initially supervise your dog anytime they are outside, but for longer stays where trust and routine is established we may let them out together for a quick potty (<5 minutes).
“Jeany was so great! My cat seemed to love her! She took a good amount of photos, cleaned up any messes, and had plenty of cuddle time with our gal. Next time we are away she will be my go to, if she is available that is. Thank you for giving us peace of mind Jeany.”
About: Providing regular pupdates while your away seems to really bring my clients peace of mind. My experience and expertise speak for themself, and I assure you that i know how to put a dog at ease and the training in canine language and behavior and my ability to communicate is what builds a trust and bond that my clients rave about. My abilities have helped a lot of traumatized pups find happiness from my one of a kind technique that I have carefully mastered from my time of over a decade in the canine grooming,pet behavior modification training and time working in the pet care industry. I use holistic approaches to build a trust with your animal and in turn their willingness to please is almost instant once that bond is formed. I am a pet groomer by day and also provide pet care services such as pet training, pet socializing, pet solo or group walks, boarding, and I also have the training and experience to help modify anxious or poor behavior traits through many different techniques and utilizing positive rewards to help modify the behavior we are wishing to possibly change. I love all animals and believe all animals deserve their boundaries respected but also building trust to allow the pet to put their faith in what I'm teaching them. I ensure they have private feeding and sleeping areas. Have a huge area for the dogs to play and run and get the exercise out that tends to get pent up and also have a groom room for dog haircuts, nail trims, anal gland expressions and your basic bath and blow outs.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Carnation
Annalise took great care of our two cats while we were away. Our cats are shy, but only after a couple of Annalise's visits they started to come out greeting her and asking to be petted. Annalise was caring, attentive to our requests, and punctual. I would happily leave the cats in her care again.
This was our third time hiring Silvana to pet sit for us over the weekend. We couldn’t be happier with the way she takes care of our cat and pet ducks. She clearly follows all care directions, is very gentle and kind to our pets, and is dependable with great communication. Silvana consistently goes above and beyond. I recommend her wholeheartedly to anyone!

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 Carnation 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.
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 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Carnation. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% can help with daily exercise
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
