“Very kind & we are so thankful for the help with our senior dog and his meds while we were away. Thanks again & I’m sure the pups will see you again in the future :)”
“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.”
“Grace is fantastic, they were timely and very sweet to the dogs. She even pick up the stuffing from the toy one of the dogs had pulled out. We will absolutely work with Grace again.”
“April was wonderful! We felt so comfortable having her in our home watching our boy while away for the weekend. She sent us lots of photos and in them it was clear he loved her just as much as we did!”
“Hayley was an excellent sitter for my cat! I’m always nervous when I’m away, but Hayley’s communication and photo updates really put my anxiety at ease. She was punctual, clean, and did a great job administering my cat’s medicine. She used the remaining appointment time to play with my cat, so she was nice and tuckered out by the time I got home. I would 100% recommend her services!”
About: I currently have two high energy pitbulls of my own, so I’m very comfortable handling strong, active dogs and keeping them mentally and physically engaged. I’m patient, attentive, and experienced with different temperaments, along with playful puppies or senior dogs. I treat every pet like my own and always prioritize their safety, comfort, and routine that you have set for your dog. I do also have experience with bite work when it comes to protection line and high energy breeds. I do require dogs to have some sort of foot wear for hot days Since I’m currently between jobs, I have a flexible, open schedule and can dedicate my full attention to your pet. I’m available 7 days a week, mornings through evenings, making me a great option for last-minute bookings or dogs that need extra company and care throughout the day. Your pet’s safety is my number one priority. My home is fenced in and safe, and I’m here all day so your dog will never be left alone for long. I follow each owner’s routines closely, send regular photo updates, and will reach out immediately if anything comes up.
“Chaunecey was absolutely wonderful. Followed directions, communicated well, and always made sure my babies were well taken care of! I loved the little commentaries she’d have with each visit! Would absolutely recommend to anyone! (:”
About: 🏡Welcome to a safe, clean, and low-stress home away from home for your feline family members! Backed by over 1,000 hours of animal shelter volunteer experience working closely with both cats and dogs with blue handling level, which means pets showing high stress, fear, or anxiety. I provide compassionate, professional care tailored to every unique personality. 😺Experience: When there is not a guest boarding with us, we also foster shelter cats. I've cared for 40+ foster cats (4-week-old kittens to 15-year-old seniors) and friends pets. 🐱Health & Safety: Strict sanitization between guests, intake checks (ringworm, fleas, URIs), continuous air filtration, and skilled medication administration (pills, liquids, eye drops). 😸Environment: Daily fresh filtered water. Dedicated decompression space before any introductions to my two cats. Guests are welcome to explore the rest of the house—though it is always entirely up to the cat's comfort level whether they want to explore or relax in their dedicated room. 😽Routine: Tailored socialization, play, feeding, and proactive stress/health monitoring. 😻Whether your cat is outgoing and playful or timid and in need of a quiet sanctuary, they will receive attentive, loving care tailored just for them. I would love to be their home away from home! I will be able to accommodate most schedules during the week. My weekends are usually open and free so that means more time to dedicate to your pet's care. I will make sure the proper care and attention is given at any point of the day! Your cat’s safety and comfort come first. My apartment is clean, quiet, and located in a safe community. I have two resident cats, but I maintain a private, separate room specifically for guest cats—complete with a calming pheromone diffuser to ensure a relaxing, stress-free stay.
“Kristen is simply lovely! Our pup can be pretty quirky, and she handled him with so much grace, love, and ease. She even gave our cat a little extra love while we were away. Totally trustworthy and friendly – we will definitely use her again!”
“Daniel was great! I'm a first time Rover user, and everything went very smoothly from the meet and greet through his visits with Bobcat. Really like getting the check-ins along with the photos. I highly recommend Daniel.”
“Marie was so great with our two kittens. It was our first time leaving town since adopting them, but Marie really put out minds at ease. She left thorough notes about each visit and sent along plenty of pictures. We'll definitely be booking again!”
About: I’ve loved and cared for dogs my entire life and have always had at least two dogs in my home. I’ve been dog sitting for friends, family, and others on and off for the past few years, caring for dogs of different ages, personalities, and needs. I currently have two senior dogs who I’ve raised since they were puppies, so I’m especially comfortable with older dogs and giving them the patience and care they need. I absolutely adore dogs and would love to make pet care a bigger part of my life. I’m currently 18 and attending Bellevue College while living at home, which gives me a stable and comfortable environment for caring for pets. I’m currently a college student with classes in the mornings Monday through Friday, so I have plenty of availability outside of class before 8:50 AM and after around 11:30 AM. My schedule is consistent, and I can plan pet care around my classes. I’m currently looking for work, but I will always make sure I can fully commit to any pet-care booking I accept. I take safety and trust very seriously when caring for someone’s pets. I’m not currently able to offer boarding or pet care in my own home, but I’m happy to care for pets in their home. I’ll follow your instructions closely, keep doors and gates secure, make sure pets have access to anything they need, and give them plenty of attention and supervision. I’ll also be respectful of your home and keep you updated while you’re away.
“Sophia is great! She is very accountable and communicates well. Our shy puppy warmed up to her very quickly and loved playing with Sophia during drop-in visits. Sophia helped us while transitioning Bailey to doggie day camp. We couldn't have asked for a better experience. We will definitely have Sophia back. Thank you!”
“Amber was so lovely to work with and took great care of our boy ❤️ she was very attentive to his care, paid attention to his energy levels and the activities, and made sure all his needs were met, even exceeded.”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs of all breeds and personalities since I was a child as we always grew up with a dog in the house. Friends and family have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and care for their pets while they’re away. Now that I work from home, I’m able to provide consistent supervision and a calm, loving environment and your dog will have company with me and my dogs, Juniper and Coco. I’m attentive to each dog’s individual needs, whether that means sticking to a feeding schedule, administering medications, offering calm companionship, or making sure they get plenty of exercise and affection. I understand how important routine and patience are, and I always treat pets as if they were my own. My goal is to make sure your dog feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re gone. I’m happy to provide photo updates and follow any specific care instructions. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine. I work remote as an entrepreneur, and there are always multiple people present in the house throughout the day, pets are never left unattended and always have care, supervision, and companionship. This allows for frequent potty breaks, feeding on schedule, playtime, and supervision. I’m available for boarding and care on weekends as well as weekdays, and I make sure each dog’s routine is followed closely. I provide a safe, calm, and well-supervised environment for pets in my care. I have a fully fenced balcony for supervised outdoor time and dogs who are accustomed to being around other pets. Introductions are done slowly, and interactions are always monitored. With multiple adults at home—including retired family members and another work-from-home adult—there is constant, around-the-clock care and attention. I can crate dogs if needed and strictly follow feeding schedules, medications, and any special instructions. Cleanliness, supervision, and communication are top priorities, and every pet is treated like family.

Brandy just started drop in visits for my dog, Mabel, this week and it’s been wonderful. I was nervous to have a stranger care for her but Brandy is very communicative, attentive, interactive, and most importantly, super kind to my girl. Mabel is a Newfoundland so sometimes it’s tough to find people who are comfortable with big dogs and Brandy is obviously more than comfortable with her. I will definitely be booking Brandy from here on out and recommend her to those hesitant to use this type of service. She also sends great updates and pictures of their playtime which is awesome.
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Fairwood is $21 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $44 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 12,698 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Fairwood. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
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:
- 86% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 91% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 93% 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 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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
