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.
“We have an older dog with health issues and Jodi did a great job with him. I will definitely use her again if we have to go out of town. She sends great updates and pictures !”
“Sarah was incredible! This was our first time using Rover and we had a great experience with Sarah! I enjoyed all of the photos she sent us of our kitty when we were at a wedding! :)”
“Heather is a great help! She is so sweet and kind with our little goldendoodle puppy Lulu. She is very responsive and easy to communicate with. Highly recommend her services.”
“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.”
“She did a amazing job with my pets she was very patient and understanding and kind she did everything I needed and my dogs loved her I will definitely book with her again❤️❤️🫶🏽🫶🏽”
“Kimberly has always been so wonderful with our diabetic cat and takes the time to check in on our other cats as well. We're so happy she is able to care for Gus when we're away and look forward to the next time!!”
“We had a great experience! Communication was excellent from start to finish, and I always felt confident that Tanner was in good hands. He was well cared for, let out for potty breaks on schedule, and seemed happy and relaxed when we got home. I would definitely book again and highly recommend her services to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter.”
“Issana is wonderful pet service provider. Even my skiddish cat got lots of love. She is very reliable and flexible with last minute schedule changes. My fur babies absolutely love her. I will continue to use her services for the best care while I’m away.”
About: My experience as a Guide Dogs for the Blind puppy raiser required me to safely handle dogs while exposing them to a wide variety of situations and environments, all while monitoring body language and behavior, providing consistent positive reinforcement, and building trust through clear communication. Getting the opportunity to help raise the next generation of service dogs gave me a deeper understanding of how to keep dogs safe, engaged, and happy while adapting to each one’s unique personality and drive. I take pride in my ability to notice subtle dog behaviors that indicate such things as stress or discomfort and respond appropriately to ensure a positive experience. I am currently working only part time so I have plenty of time to play with your pups and give them all of my time and energy! I also have reliable car for transportation. I am comfortable and have worked with all breeds and sizes and have had dogs and cats all my life and know what to look out for if something is wrong. I don't have any pets of my own at the moment so no worries if your pet is not good with other animals! I take the safety of the animal in my care very seriously and treat them as if they are my own!
“Cassie was fantastic! She took wonderful care of our cats while we were away and did all the things we asked. She provided great updates and was communicative and supportive throughout the weekend! Highly recommend her!! Will be asking her to watch our cats again!”
“Axell did a great job looking after our 2 cats. They communicated well, sent us photos and videos and did everything we asked and more. For instance, there was a wind storm while we were gone and axell cleared branches off of our walkway. One of our cats has asthma and requires medicine twice a day so we are so happy that we had such a reliable cat sitter!”
“Monica is by far the BEST & most reliable cat sitter. Our cat is an escape artist & she kept him in our apartment and safe the entire month we were gone. She went above and beyond to send me hundreds of photos and videos while we were gone. Maintained a clean and safe area for the cats and when we came home our house was spotless. I’ve had 3 cat sitters in the past and Monica is by far the golden cat sitter. I’d hire her again in a heart beat & plan on doing so in the near future. I felt so at ease leaving Monica with my two cats!”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Federal Way
Christina took amazing care of Cannoli for a week while we were away on vacation! She is so wonderful 🫶🏻 and we couldn't be happier with our experience with her. Excellent communication, super dependable, and Cannoli clearly adored her. Christina always updated us and sent us the cutest videos and pics and left notes to keep us well informed about the visits. We appreciate the time and care she put on our beloved Cannoli 😽. Leaving home is so much easier knowing your pet is in such wonderful hands. Highly recommend!
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.
Cassie is amazing. I was able to not stress on my work trip because I knew that my two babies were in great hands. She communicated regularly. She took great pictures of Nora. Unfortunately, she didn't get to meet Azure because Azure is shy, but I came home knowing that my cats were going to be okay.
Sarah is amazing! She took great care of my cats and was very attentive to our requests. She fed, watered, changed litter, gave meds AND spent time with the kitties giving them lots of attention and company while visiting. She sent lots of pictures and gave us a great recap of everything she did while stopping by. It was such a relief knowing they were taken care of just as I would have taken care of them. Excellent at communicating and super friendly. Will definitely book her again and recommend her to anyone needing a sitter. Thanks Sarah!
Issana was an amazing sitter! Every rover card she sent was filled with caring updates, photos, and videos of my sweet girl. She really cared about making sure my shy kitty was comfortable with her. I was so worried about living my car for such a long time for the first time, but Issana really put my worries and fears aside. I would definitely recommend having Issana watch over your furbabies!
Helped us tremendously with our social cat, Whitney, who was staying alone for her first time. Emma made sure Whitney was getting the attention she craves and needs while we were on vacation, and helped make sure Whitney had far fewer complaints from us when we got home - cannot thank her enough for her help!

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.
