“Katherine took great care of our two cats! She’s also a very talented photographer and we’ll be saving many of the daily photos she sent because they’re so artfully done. We will definitely reach out to her again next time we need a pet sitter!”

“Keeley is a wonderful sitter who cares deeply for your animals. I would highly recommend her to anyone needing someone to watch your pets who’ll love your pets as much as you do!”

“Morgan did a wonderful job taking care of our two kitties for 5 days, two include one of them needing meds administered. She also spent quality time with them, as well as did a great job cleaning their pans thoroughly and swept up litter throughout. Was nice to come home to a neat house with no odor. Thank you again Morgan, we greatly appreciate it and look forward to reaching out in the future. ;)”

About: I have been taking care of animals since I was 10. I have cared for a blind senior cat as well as a cat with hip problems, which required patience, close monitoring, and adapting the environment to keep them safe and comfortable. I currently help care for my friend’s senior dog, who also has hip and dental issues, so I’m familiar with administering gentle support, maintaining comfort, and being attentive to mobility limitations and pain cues. In addition, I have experience caring for younger animals, including kittens and puppies around 12 weeks old. This has given me practice with high-energy care, feeding routines, supervision, and basic early-life behavior management. Overall, I’m comfortable working with both senior pets and young animals, and I adjust my care style based on each pet’s specific health, energy level, and personality needs. Pet care fits into my routine pretty easily because I currently have a part-time job with a very variable schedule. Since my shifts change from week to week, I’m generally flexible and available most days with some notice. This flexibility allows me to adjust around pet care responsibilities like feeding, walks, check-ins, or overnight stays when needed. I’m also used to planning my time in a way that ensures animals are consistently cared for, even on busier days, so I can reliably fit pet care into my weekly schedule. In my home, I would make sure any pet is cared for in a safe, comfortable, and supervised environment. While my apartment doesn’t have a backyard, there is a fenced-in area nearby where dogs can run, play fetch, and get exercise. I also have a car, so if the owner is comfortable with it, I can take the dogs to a dog park for additional enrichment and activity. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize keeping their routine as consistent as possible—feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special care instructions are followed closely. I’m also very mindful of respecting the home itself. I was raised to always leave a place cleaner than I found it, so I make sure everything is kept tidy, organized, and exactly as I found it. Communication is also important to me, so I always update owners and let them know right away if anything seems off or if there are any concerns about their pet’s health, behavior, or well-being.
About: I’ve had a dog of my own and regularly help care for my neighbors’ dogs as well, giving me experience with feeding, walking, playtime, and providing lots of attention. I’m comfortable caring for dogs of all ages, from energetic puppies to older senior dogs. I’m a college student with an internship, which usually leaves me fully free on Sundays and Mondays (though this can vary week to week). On workdays, I’m available early mornings and in the evenings into the night. I prioritize safety, trust, and respect in every home I visit. I follow any instructions closely, keep pets secure during walks and visits, and make sure your home is treated with care. I’m also open to dog sitting in my own home depending on the pet’s needs and compatibility.

About: I have taken care of dogs and other pets since I was a young child. I have an undergraduate degree in Ecology and Conservation Biology and recently finished a master's in Environmental Education and Science Communication. I am very passionate about animals, both domestic and wild. I recently graduated with my Masters of Natural Resources degree from the University of Idaho and just got my first full-time job here in Pullman! I work M-F 8am to 5pm with a one hour break, so I’m able to check on your pup(s) before, during, and after work with ease! I ensure that pets have numerous potty breaks, plenty of play and rest time, and, of course, they will get plenty of cuddles. If a fenced-in yard is unavailable, I will ensure they get extra walks into their daily routine.
About: I’ve had animals my whole life! My old dog had diabetes so I am comfortable with administering medication for animals. I am very flexible with my time and hours as well so please reach out! I have a part time job on the weekdays that gets out after 10 as well as school, but my weekends are free so I am always able to dog sit Friday-Sunday! I will follow any bounties and rules for my clients home to a T and will make your animals my first priority! I want to create a safe and loving environment for your animals while I am taking care of them!
About: I've taken care of dogs since I was 11. From my dog, to my family member's dogs, I've taken them on walks, given medication through pill pockets, fed them, brushed them, played with them, and given them all the love and attention they could ever want! I'm working part time, so I can give as much attention as possible to your pets! I'll be constantly in the area, so no need to worry about your pet being alone for too long. I’ll take the fur baby (or babies) on walks, play with them, love on them, and everything in between! Any need they could have, I can meet.
About: As a dedicated pet sitter, I go beyond basic care by tailoring my services to your pet's unique needs. Whether it's training playful puppies, providing gentle care for senior pets, or ensuring your furry friend feels loved while you're away, I bring experience, patience, and a genuine passion for animals. My background includes administering medications, handling special dietary needs, and creating enriching activities to keep pets happy and healthy. Trust me to treat your pets like family! Pet care fits seamlessly into my routine as a full-time college student. While I dedicate my weekdays to classes, I’m available whenever I’m not in class, offering flexibility for drop-ins, walks, or extended care. On weekends and holidays, I’m available all day, making it easy to provide consistent, attentive care for your pets whenever you need it!" I provide personalized pet care tailored to the needs of each furry friend, whether in my home or my client’s. In my home, I create a safe, comfortable environment with plenty of playtime, enrichment, and cozy spaces for relaxation. In my client’s home, I ensure their pets stick to their routine, from feeding and walks to administering medications if needed. I pay close attention to details like maintaining cleanliness, monitoring behavior, and keeping pets happy and stress-free while their owners are away. My goal is to provide loving, dependable care as if they were my own.
About: I have worked professionally with dogs for the past 4 years, and have had experience caring for them personally throughout most of my life. I also occasionally volunteer at the Whitman County Humane Society. I am comfortable handling dogs of all breeds, ages, and temperaments, and have plenty of experience with administering medications, following elaborate care instructions, and cleaning all kinds of messes. I love dogs and love keeping them happy and healthy! If you are considering me for your pet’s care, I can make as many home visits during the day on weekends as you need and am able to stay with your pet overnight any night. Due to sharing my living space with others, I am not available to have pets stay with me in my home at this time. I have a fear-free approach when handling animals, and will let them choose the pacing of our interactions. I want to make sure your pet is as comfortable as possible!
About: Ever since I was a kid family and friends have trusted me to care for and check on their dogs. I love animals so much and I’ve only ever gotten good feedback. I am on my 4th year at WSU, majoring in wildlife ecology and conservation, so I have great basic knowledge and skills to care for animals! My class schedule allows me to take multiple breaks throughout the day on mon, wed, and fri. But my Tuesdays and Thursdays are strictly from 8am-12pm. I will also send my schedule if requested. Firstly I want to make you and your animal the most comfortable as possible so I would like to follow any schedule or routine as strictly as possible. If there isn’t a specific schedule then I will be open to anything you and your pet are comfortable with. I will take them out, play with them, cuddle with them, etc.

About: I am familiar with animal care for dogs, cats, chickens, and some birds. I have been a short-period caretaker for various animals since high school. I love spending time with energy-filled animals, old seniors, birds, and everything in between. I have overnight dog sat for up to 3 weeks at a time. I enjoy going on walks and spending time lounging with furry pals. I do not have experience training, but I am happy to follow any detailed instructions provided :) Currently, I am a full-time student at WSU. Which leaves me with limited services, but I am happy to fit in what I can! I am mostly available for morning and afternoon dog walks :) After graduation on May 9th, I will be a pretty open book as I do not plan to be working this summer aside from pet care. I do not travel much, so I will be available for longer care periods! I am able to adapt to unique daily routines and distribute medicine as needed. I am quick to learn and love making new furry pals!
About: I have taken care of animals since I was a pre-teen, but fell in love with animal care fully in my junior year of high school, after I began volunteering at the Everett Animal Shelter. Since then, I have changed positions and worked as a post-surgery volunteer with PAWS, transporting and handling anesthetized animals after they underwent surgeries. This summer I am also interning at PAWS again, this time as a Foster Care Intern, where I manage the entire foster care system behind the scenes. Additionally, I have worked with large animals such as horses while volunteering, managed and milked dairy cattle, and took care of pigs as my job on the side. I will continue to grow my portfolio, as I am a Pre-Vet Animal Science major at Washington State University with the goal of becoming a veterinarian one day. I am currently on summer break in my hometown (Everett) and have pretty open availability. I intern at paws from 8am-12pm on Sundays & Mondays, and 12-5pm on Thursdays, but other than that, I am free for walks, house sitting, or drop ins! Safety is extremely important during both house sitting & walks! For walks, I like to make sure dogs stay on the side of the sidewalk away from the road, as well as being properly harnessed and equipped with essential needs like poop bags and water incase of an emergency. I also keep a sharp eye out for other dogs to steer clear from unwanted interactions. Additionally, during house sitting, outside doors stay locked at all times, and your pet is watched 24/7. No escapes will happen on my watch! I am open to following any other rules, expectations or suggestions you have regarding your pet & house’s safety!
About: What sets me apart is my background working in a veterinary hospital, which gives me hands-on experience recognizing health concerns, administering medications, and caring for animals with different needs. I’m comfortable with puppies, senior pets, and animals that may need extra patience or medical attention. I pay close attention to behavior and body language to make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I treat every pet like my own and always keep owners updated with messages and photos. Pet care is already a big part of my daily routine. I have experience working in a veterinary hospital and caring for my own dogs, so feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and monitoring pets’ health are second nature to me. I am very active and enjoy being outside, so I love incorporating walks, exercise, and quality time with pets into my day. I make sure every animal in my care gets plenty of attention, structure, and consistency. I prioritize creating a safe, calm, and loving environment for every pet in my care. With my experience working in a veterinary hospital, I am very comfortable recognizing signs of stress or illness and ensuring pets stay healthy and happy. I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding schedules, medications if needed, exercise, and plenty of attention. I always make sure pets are supervised, comfortable, and feel secure whether I’m caring for them in my home or in their own home.

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 Colfax 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.

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.
