“Jodi is a gem of a human being and Cat Whisperer! Her exceptional attention to detail, punctuality and recollection of all my cats's needs and preferences means that they always have the best time with Jodi! They love her very much and we all feel safe knowing that she is taking care of them. Bonus: On this trip, I forgot to take away peeled/soaking garlic from the sink. Jodi quickly identified the hazard and asked me for what I would like to so with them. She also kindly brought in some packages and even went so far as to be flexible about extending our stay on VERY short notice when we were about to get stuck enroute back. 10000/10 sitter, cannot recommend her enough if you want a reliable, trustworthy, highly observerant and exceptional person for your fur babies (including those who need medication of all kinds!!) !!”
About: I’ve always had a genuine love for dogs and cats and enjoy spending time with animals of all personalities and energy levels. I’m comfortable with playful, energetic pets as well as those who are more shy, cautious, or need a little extra patience to warm up. I understand that every pet has their own routine, personality, and needs, so I make it a priority to follow your instructions carefully and treat your pet with the same care and attention I would want for my own. Whether your dog needs a good walk, some playtime, or simply some company while you’re away, I’m happy to provide dependable and loving care. I’m also comfortable caring for cats, including feeding, refreshing water, cleaning litter boxes, and giving them attention while respecting their space. My goal is simple: make sure your pets are safe, happy, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. I’m currently working a job and my current schedule for assisting with our furry friends reflects that schedule! Friday to Monday is my current schedule for helping our friends! I care for every pet according to their individual routine, personality, and needs. Before each visit or walk, I make sure I understand their feeding schedule, exercise needs, medications (if applicable), and any special instructions from their owner. During walks, I focus on keeping pets safe, comfortable, and engaged while allowing them to enjoy their time outside. In a client’s home, I follow their normal routine as closely as possible, making sure pets have fresh water, food, attention, and a clean and comfortable environment. I’m also happy to provide updates and photos so owners can feel confident knowing their pets are happy and well cared for. My priority is always the pet’s safety and making sure they receive the same patience, love, and attention I would want for my own pets.
“Heather was absolutely fabulous. I was gone for two weeks and she took excellent care of my two indoor cats. She had to coax them out, but by the end of the two weeks she had won them over. She went above and beyond to make sure to pick up a computer that was dropped off and even vacuumed before I came home. Communication was great. I got pictures and updates every day. I will absolutely use her again when I travel. I highly recommend Heather to take care of your fur babies.❤️”
“Sarah is wonderful! She always provides great care to our older Shih Tzu. I love the drop in summaries and all the pictures while I’m at work. We are moving and will miss her a lot - thank you Sarah!!! 💜”
About: I’ve taken care of all different types of dogs like chihuahuas to pitbulls I’ve watched my sisters dogs over the past years she trust me and i’ve always keep her updated on how her dogs are doing I provide daily photos and videos of her dogs so that she is comfortable and aware of how her doggies are doing I have two dogs of my own and I try my best to keep them happy and active just like I would with any other pets! I’m currently working a full time job, I could do mornings and evening and most weekends I’m always mostly have weekends off my full time time! I’ve dog sat for my sister and normally I follow their schedule/ instructions but I also love to add playtime and keep the dogs nice and healthy and I try to be as comforting and helpful to them
“Kimberly was fantastic with our boys. The first visit, our shy kitty disappeared but the second visit she found a way to approach him and was able to give him his meds. The communication was perfect and we definitely would have her watch our kitties again. Thank you!”
“I have a diabetic cat who's afraid of everyone and requires insulin injections 2x a day. I have not been able to find anyone willing to take on this challenging situation, until I found Cassie on Rover. I swear she can walk on water and is a cat whisperer. She took the time to come and watch me do a glucose test and insulin injection before the first trip I've been able to take in 7 yrs , knowing she would take good care of Punkin. I was gone for 8 days and she came twice a day and Punkin didn't hide from her like she does with everyone but me. I could not recommend her highly enough and will definitely be planning longer trips, using Cassie without worrying my cat would suffer. If you want a sweet, reliable and caring cat sitter, you want Cassie on Rover.”
“Morgan is fantastic! We recently used her for drop in visits with our very shy and skittish cat. She did fantastic and our cat even greeted her. We had an excellent meet and greet and Morgan was very attentive and took lots of notes, asked important questions regarding our cats care and the apartment. Morgan is very polite, communicative, and caring! On top of watching June she helped keep the home tidy and refreshed 💖 We will definitely be using her again in the future! I feel comfortable with leaving our cat and home in her care.”
“Emily was wonderful! She quickly put our pup at ease and I felt completely comfortable leaving him with her even though he has a bit of separation anxiety. Remy made a new friend and he was sad when she was gone!”
“Lora is very patient with animals, thorough with directions, and easy to communicate with. We had never used a stranger as a sitter for our beloved animals before, and we found a keeper. Coming home to happy and healthy animals made our trip even better. She kept us in the loop while we were gone, and made sure to treat taking care of them seriously. Thank you Lora. We'll definitely recommend you and book with you for our future needs.”
“I had booked Matthew for pet sitting for a planned short trip. I also booked him for 3 short visits before my trip so that my fur kids could get to know him better and be comfortable with him during my trip. I was really happy with Matthew's service. He always shows up on time, communicates really well, and treats my pets with kindness and respect. I also like the pictures he sent, so I could see how they were doing.”
“Great experience with Nathaly! She was sweet and caring to our dogs while we were gone and sent pictures which always makes it easier when we have to leave them for the weekend. Will definitely be reaching out to her again when we need her.”
“McKenna went out of her way to help out with our pups. They are anxious dogs and require a lot of extra TLC. She was great with them. She was super sweet and responsible. I would use her again for sure!!”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Federal Way
Rose offered a casual meet and greet first with our kitty, giving us all greater peace of mind since this was our first time using a professional sitter. Rose did a great job, sent updates, and our kitty was brave enough by the end to say hello. Would definitely utilize Rose again!
We love Kimberly! More important, our cats adore her too! She keeps us well informed, responds in great time, and we know our home and animals are in good hands. Whether we are traveling locally or abroad, that comfort is priceless. We're repeat customers and heartily recommend Kimberly.
Jodi's amazing to both nervous pawrents and their feline fur babies!! 10/10 love how she makes time to get to know the kitties and then provides lovely photos and relevant updates to help set you at ease. She even goes above and beyond (eg. Noticing early on that we were out of wet food or bringing delayed packages in). Thanks, Jodi!!
Axel did an amazing job caring for our kitty! Great with keeping everything clean and tidy, and we really appreciated the thoughtful and attentive care. We came home to a happy kitty. Would definitely recommend Axel and would love to have Axel sit for us again!
Morgan did a great job taking care of my two cats. She sent me photos and updates. She made time to entertain my babies and gave them treats. Morgan was very organized. When we first met she was taking down notes to try and meet my preferences. Morgan was very communicative, if she was unsure of any instructions or concerns she asked for more information. I would definitely hire her services again.

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.
