“John was fantastic with our Husky Bo. He kept me informed about everything that Bo was doing, and sent pictures and video. Bo was always happy to see John, and appeared to be having a great time on his walks. I would definitely recommend John, and I plan on requesting him to watch Bo again.”
“Mandi was the best! She took great care of my cats and was totally comfortable and willing to do insulin injections. She clearly cares a lot about animals and I felt very safe leaving mine with her!”
“Andrhu was so kind and flexible. When access to the house was unavailable, at my poor planning, he was incredibly understanding and accommodating. It is more appreciated than he may know. He was very thorough as well during his drop in visits for our 2 pups.”
“Shelli was able to fill my last minute request and I’m so grateful! She’s a great communicator and was patient and engaging with my shy dog. I would book with Shelli again!”
“Rachel is wonderful with our kitty. She is communicative and considerate. She tries to play with Stormy, gives her treats, feeds her, and cleans up after her, and is a great relief that we have her to pet sit when we go out of town. I’d highly suggest her.”
“Willa was amazing! She took great care of my cat while we were away in Bali. She made sure to feed her twice a day and even played with her in the garden. We also had a broken door, and Willa took care of it right away while we were away from home. I really appreciate everything she did for us. I can’t wait to book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone reliable and caring to look after their pet.”
About: Sam and I have been passionate animal lovers our entire lives and have cared for both dogs and cats since we were young. We're comfortable with pets of all ages and personalities, from energetic puppies who love to play to senior pets who need a little extra patience, attention, and care. We have two friendly dogs of our own, so it's important that any furry guests staying with us are comfortable around other animals. We understand that every pet has unique needs, and we'll treat your furry family member with the same love, care, and attention we give our own. Between Sam and I, there will always be someone home with your pup to provide lots of love and attention. Our dogs Loki and Genki will be thrilled to have new friends stay over that they can play with. Our home is designed to be a comfortable place where dogs can relax, play, and feel right at home. We have a fully fenced backyard for safe outdoor fun, plenty of toys throughout the house, and lots of cozy spots for lounging. Whether your pup enjoys a game of fetch, playing with toys, or simply curling up for a nap, we'll make sure they have a fun and comfortable stay. We also share our home with two cats who generally keep to themselves. If your dog is comfortable around cats, they'll be welcome to enjoy full access to our home. If not, that's absolutely no problem—we can easily keep your pup separated from the areas where our cats spend their time to ensure everyone stays happy, comfortable, and stress-free.
“This is the second time Josie has looked after Zola and as usual she was amazing. We were so grateful knowing our cat had someone checking on her and who played with her, brushed her, and just made her feel less alone. Would absolutely recommend Josie.”
“I was anxious to find a dog sitter, and I wanted to make sure I found someone with a decent amount of experience. Sophia was more than happy to do a meet-and-greet with both of my dogs. She met them both where they were at, and they both had a successful first experience getting care from someone other than me or a close friend.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 8yrs old. Friends, family and neighbors have relied on me to care for their beloved pets. I’ am currently working part-time, so I’ll have plenty of time to play with your pups! I am available for boarding on weekends after 2pm, and weekdays after 430pm I have a fence yard, crates and gates at home, we can also use your own crates if that works with you. Thank a bunch
About: I have cared for dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, fish, horses, cows, chickens, and ducks from a very young age. For the last 13 years I have worked in the pet food industry developing a knowledge and passion for pet health, behavior and nutrition. My current work schedule is Tues-Sat, I am available for walks, potty breaks and feedings before or after my shifts. Sunday and Monday there is more flexibility in my schedule and I can do mid day drop ins or longer distance runs/walks with higher activity level pets. I would love to meet you and your pet to discuss any special needs or requirements for their care. I have a fenced yard and live in walking distance to a public park and school field that can be used before/after school hours. I prefer to work with your pet in the environment which they are most comfortable, your home. I am open to short stays at my home if that is what is best for your situation.
“Diana took good care of our cats and made sure our diabetic cat took her medicine. She kept us informed of progress and sent pictures. Would definitely hire her again.”
“The cats said that she did great and they were well taken care of! Kyrsten was willing to take a last minute booking and saved us. Good communication and willing to work with our timing for care along with all of our instructions. Would book again!”
“Jennifer is exceptional! She does a wonderful job of taking care of our three cats. They adore her! And she has wonderful patience for our little scaredy cat who hangs out under our bed while we are out of town. He slinks over to the edge just to get Jennifer pets. She’s perfect for the big variety of personalities our three cats bring to the table.”
“Skyler is a wonderful pet sitter for our three babies. She is always on time and informs me promptly on how the visit goes. It’s comforting knowing our babies are in good hands.”
“Megan rocks ! She was super cool when she came over to check out the house and the animals. She sent me photos and updates, I will absolutely use her again!!! ✨”
About: I have lived with animals most of my life. While I currently do not own a pet, I have continued to surround myself with the animals of my friends and family. I started cat-sitting 2 years ago. When I pet sit, I aim to ensure a great experience for my furry friends. I am currently working part-time as an Occupational Therapist (OTR/L) and am flexible in my hours. I am currently a part-time Occupational Therapist, so I have flexibility in my schedule to take care of your furry friend. I have my own transportation as well. I work hard to ensure a safe and comfortable environment for your animal in their home environment. A detailed description of your animal's needs is much appreciated.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Federal Way
Rose was amazing! For this sitting, we just needed drop in visits for 3 of the 5 days that I was out of town. The dogs took right to Rose the moment she came over for the meet and greet! We have 2 senior large breed dogs and a 10-month-old small breed dog. The puppy has never been separated from me for so many days and needed some extra attention and snuggling, which Rose happily provided. Rose was on time every day, spent the entire hour at the house as requested, and updated me immediately after each visit to let me know how the dogs were doing, and she sent pictures of each of the dogs as well. I would absolutely recommend Rose without hesitation. We'll request her in the future when we need services!
Sarah did such an awesome job, she sent me plenty of photos and was super helpful and even suggested some things I didn't think of. It shows that she's been listening to my guinea pigs care and I really really appreciate that thank you so much Sarah we can't wait to have you drop in again :)
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.

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 Federal Way 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.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Federal Way choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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 dog, 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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Federal Way with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
