“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: 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.
“Rachel was a great sitter! Appreciated she made time to see our home and meet our cat Cora before we were away. Super communicative, and we felt Cora and our home were both well taken care of. Would definitely ask Rachel to sit again and recommend her to others!”
“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.”
“Isabel is amazing! I’m a repeat client and have booked her several times for drop-in visits. My dog absolutely loves her, and I always know he’s in great hands. She sends detailed updates and lots of pictures after every visit, which gives me great peace of mind. She’s reliable, caring, and I highly recommend her!”
“Jessica is a great dog sitter! She was able to help us last minute and during Thanksgiving! She consistently updated us with pictures of Bella. She kept Bella engaged and gave a lot of attention.”
“Rebecca did a wonderful job checking in on our cat while we were away! She was responsive and left detailed notes about how our little guy was doing. Highly recommended!”
“Alex took incredible care of my three cats while I was away! She was attentive, communicative, and genuinely caring throughout the entire stay. Exactly what you want when leaving your fur babies with someone new. She kept me updated and I could tell she treated them like her own. Highly recommend Alex to anyone looking for a trustworthy, loving pet sitter!”
“Caitlin has walked our energetic pup weekly for the past couple years and has done an amazing job. She handles his high energy and quirks so well and clearly loves animals. Our pup is always so excited to see her. She has also done drop-in visits for our three kitties while we’re out of town and again does an amazing job. She sends great updates with pictures so we know how they’re doing and it’s such a relief to know they’re in good hands while we’re gone. Overall, Caitlin is very professional, trustworthy, and communicative - she has been such a huge help to us.”
“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.”
“Aidan took great care of my cats, and I am more than pleased with the care and attention they gave them. They almost seemed disappointed that I came home! I would highly recommend Aidan to any pet owner.”
“Marie did an excellent job pet sitting our cats. The messages and photos she sent helped us know our pets were in great care. I highly recommend Marie and will definitely be using her in the future.”
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.
“Kseniia watched our three kitties while we were out of town for a couple of days, and we couldn’t have been happier with her care! She did a great job communicating with us each day, letting us know when she would be arriving and sending us photos and updates. It gave us great peace of mind knowing our kitties were well taken care of and having a great time with her. We also really appreciated that she lived close by, which gave us extra reassurance in case of any unexpected emergencies or if she was needed quickly. We’re grateful to Kseniia for taking such great care of our precious kitties while we were away. We would definitely use her again and highly recommend her!”
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.
About: I have a deep sense of responsibility when it comes to caring for pets, and I treat every animal as if they were my own. I’ve been watching friends’ dogs for over 5 years and also have a 3-year-old cat myself. I understand how stressful it can feel to leave your pet behind, so I aim to create a calm, loving, and safe environment while you’re away. Whether your pet enjoys playtime, walks, or just quiet companionship, I’m happy to meet them where they’re at. I work from home most days and that allows me to visit your home at your desired time. If needed, I’m available as early as 6 AM and as late as 8 PM. I have a separate space in my house where I can watch pets if needed. I have a large, fenced backyard for dogs and cat trees with toys for cats.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Fairwood
Rebecca is awesome! This our second time using her drop in services while we are on vacation and trust her with our Kona. Love that she sends us pics every drop in and gives us an updates every time. We can feel comfortable while away and know that our Kona girl is in good hands.
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.
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! ❤️
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!!
Janine did a fantastic job caring for Wally while we were traveling! She was incredibly attentive, communicative, and patient throughout the entire process. Wally can be a little cautious and takes time to build trust with new people, and Janine was so understanding and willing to work with him at his own pace. Her patience, kindness, and dedication gave us so much peace of mind knowing he was in great hands. We truly appreciate the care and effort she put into making Wally feel comfortable and safe. Janine is wonderful, and we will absolutely continue using her services. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy sitter!

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 Fairwood 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 Fairwood. On Rover:
- 92% 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.
