About: I have two big dogs of my own so I have plenty of experience with larger breeds. I’ve had puppies and kittens and grew up with lots of pets! I also cat sit and dog sit on occasion for my family! I work Part-time so I have plenty of time to care for your animals. I walk my own animals daily in addition to go to the gym. Stamina won’t be a problem no matter the energy level of your pet. I have two large dogs who run around constantly, I’m very good with clear commands and communication with them. I also take care of my families cats who can be temperamental which taught me a lot of patience when caring for animals as well.
About: Hi everyone! I grew up with cats and dogs and am no stranger to all there needs, I regularly sit for my friends and family and can handle all of your pet sitting needs. My job is Monday thru Friday 7-3 so I'm available between 6-7 am and after 3 during the week and any time on the weekends My dog goes to the dog park almost daily during the week and is no stranger to going on hikes on weekends, she is very good with other dogs and would never turn down a play mate.
“I recently moved to the area & Natalie has been a lifesaver when I can’t be there for my furbabies! Less than a year ago, I adopted a little dog from an abuse situation who now has severe separation anxiety, but warmed up to Natalie instantly :) I also have a very skittish cat & a bunny & Natalie has taken great care of my little gang when I’ve needed her help. I would definitely recommend her as a dog walker & for drop in visits (:”
About: Pets have been my life ever since I was five years old. I wasn't a caretaker at that age, but I've fostered a close connection and understanding towards pets ever since. As I got older, my responsibilities grew in kind, and I became much more involved in the day-to-day care of dogs and cats. I've been fortunate to be a part of six dogs lives, and each have brought different temperaments, attitudes, and energy levels. Four of the six were rescues, so I understand the patience and attentiveness needed to properly address their needs and quirks. I also helped raise a 10 week old puppy into adulthood, so I am very familiar with what it takes to handle the stubbornness and energy of a young pup. While it's been some time since my cat has passed away, I likewise share a similar understanding to their needs and socialization. It requires a different approach than a dog but I am happy to adapt to the pet at hand and ensure they receive the best care possible. I have returned from a term of service abroad in the Peace Corps, and am currently searching for employment as I settle back in the states. I will be living in Washington for the time being before I set off to grad school. As such, my schedule is fairly open for dog walking and check-ins. Some of my fondest memories abroad was walking around the countryside in my spare time, so I'm excited to continue that here with some new friends! I will ensure that the pets' needs are addressed in full with the client before I take on the service, and adhere to the directions advised. I cannot currently board pets at my home, but I am happy to check in on pets whilst abiding by the rules of my client's homes.
“April was great with my cat who is a scared of just about everyone. I had to go out of town for work and she was able to check in on him, which he clearly loved from the lookof the photos! You’re a life saver, thank you! I will certainly be using April again when I need someone to check in on him.”
“Bella and Marcus went above and beyond watching our cat Gatsby. They made sure to not only do all of the daily tasks, but to also spend quality time with Gatsby and make sure he was entertained while we were away. They even showed genuine concern with the WA air quality and how it was going to affect Gatsby. I will definitely be sticking with them from now on when it comes to drop in visits for Gatsby.”
“Rebecca was so kind to take out last minute booking. She made time to meet us and our pups before our booked service so everyone was comfortable. Our dogs have some anxiety but Rebecca made sure they got the attention they needed while we were away. Would recommend without hesitation and we plan to use her again in the future.”
“We’re so glad to have found Jessica! She is attentive, thorough, communicative, and super caring to our cat and dog. She writes detailed notes and send lots of pet photos in every visit, making our time away from home a breeze. Highly recommend!”
“Our first time using Rover and Elizabeth was a perfect match for us. She kept us updated and the pictures she sent were appreciated. She was even nice enough to clean up the mess of bird seed Olive got into when she was bored!!! We will definitely contact her the next time we need help with our cat.”
“Aidan goes above and beyond at every visit. We've had him watch our kitties twice so far, for over a week each time, and he's the best cat sitter we've ever had! He's now our go-to cat sitter. He gives thorough updates, makes sure all three of our cats are individually taken care of, and even made sure to clean up after our kitties' messes so that we came home to a clean house. He's excellent at communication, spent plenty of time with our kitties, and our boys really seemed to love him. I would 100% recommend Aidan!”
“Grace has been fantastic with my variety of pets! I feel so much better while traveling knowing they are in good hands. I would definitely recommend Grace to friends and family.”
“Shelli was fantastic! We booked her kind of last minute and our regular rover wasn't available. She was wonderful with our pup and he was very well taken care of by her. We will definitely use her again.”
“I recently hired Stephanie and Emma to take care of my 2 cats, and am very happy with the experience. They were punctual, communicated clearly, and most importantly showed real affection and attention to my cat’s needs. My cats were calm and happy when I returned, which gave me great peace of mind. I recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring cat sitter.”
“Jenna was amazing!! I was very impressed with our initial meet and greet. She took lots of notes and asked lots of questions. She was on time and updated me every visit and sent lots of pictures! My dog loved her visits. Will definitely use her again!!”
About: Hi there! I’m a passionate dog owner and lover who knows firsthand just how much your pup means to you, because mine mean everything to me. With my own dog at home, I understand the importance of trust, routine, and genuinely connecting with every dog I care for. I’m active, outdoorsy, and especially great with high-energy dogs who need more than just a quick potty break. Whether it’s a brisk walk through the neighborhood or a drop-in visit to break up their day, I bring the same enthusiasm and attentiveness every single time. I’m a details person. Every dog is different, and I truly mean it when I say no instruction is too small. Have a pup with food allergies, a specific leash routine, or certain triggers I should know about? Tell me everything. The more I know about your dog’s quirks, preferences, and needs, the better I can care for them exactly the way you would. Here’s what you can count on from me: • Reliability - I show up when I say I will, every time • Attentiveness - I pay close attention to each dog’s mood, behavior, and individual needs • Communication - Expect updates and photos so you always know your pup is happy and thriving • Detail-oriented care - Your instructions won’t just be noted, they’ll be followed to the letter • A dog-first mindset - Your dog’s comfort and safety are always my top priority I’d love to meet your furry family member! Feel free to reach out to schedule a meet-and-greet. I always recommend one before our first booking so your dog and I can get acquainted on their terms. I work from home full time, which means I have a flexible schedule and can be fully present for your pet’s care. I prefer at least a week’s notice before booking to make sure I can give your pup the attention they deserve. My attention to detail means every instruction you give me will be followed carefully and consistently. Before any booking, I encourage you to share any triggers, fears, or allergies your dog may have, no detail is too small. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my first priority, and I treat every home and every pup with the same respect and care I’d want for my own dogs.
“Caitlin is wonderful! Wally absolutely loves her, which means so much to us because he can be a bit challenging at times as a rescue. He doesn’t always warm up to people easily, but he seems completely comfortable with Caitlin, and she handles him so well. We really appreciate her patience, understanding, and willingness to work with his personality and needs. She’s also a great communicator, dependable, and wonderful with our pets all around. We feel very comfortable having her care for Wally and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy sitter! ❤️”
“Rachel is the best! My cat doesn't like strangers at all, but she came out from under the couch to meet Rachel the very first time she came by. Instant trust. I have booked her twice so far and will definitely do so next time I go out of town.”
“Lauren was fantastic. Great communication during the booking process and throughout the entire time she looked after Riggins. He was well looked after and she spent lots of time with him. Would absolutely book Lauren again in the future.”

Aidan was wonderful with our cats, Milo and Lilah. Aidan went above and beyond taking care of them, spent good time playing with them, keeping them company, and checking on their well-being. Aidan's communication was excellent and they followed all instructions perfectly. We highly recommend Aidan and will definitely book again in the future!
Bella and Marcus did a fantastic job dropping in on Gatsby. This is the 2nd time they have watched Gatsby, and they never fail to go above and beyond. They showed extreme flexibility and were willing to pick up some pet food for Gatsby, which saved the day. Gatsby absolutely loves them because they show genuine care for his well-being and do a wonderful job keeping him entertained. I wouldn't want anyone else watching over him while I am away. I would recommend their services to anyone looking for pet sitters whom they can trust and who won't cut corners with the care of their pets.
Our cats loved Shuyao! She was so great at connecting with our cat who is really shy and doesn’t eat treats from strangers and somehow Shuyao was able to give her treats and make friends with her! Shuyao sent us really sweet pictures of them and took great care. Thank you again, Shuyao!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Fairwood on Rover is $23.54 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Cat Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Cat Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 6,796 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Fairwood. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, 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.

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.
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.
