“Alexis does an amazing job with Sage, and is so excited whenever a drop in is scheduled! Sage is left fed & loved on when it’s time to go, but is always looking forward to the next visit, and we’ll continue booking! See you again soon!”
“Sarah is amazing and her love of animals… she goes above and beyond and u can count on her to follow through and insuring ur furry pet get all the much needed attention, pets and playtime while ur away on ur vacation…or anytime u need a sitter.”
“Our yellow lab Rosie had the best time! She got plenty of walks and attention, and Rose even helped clean up and take care of a little skin irritation while we were gone. We came home to a super happy pup and couldn’t be more grateful. Highly recommend!”
“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!!) !!”
“Kimberly took extra care with my cat who was grieving the loss of her "other half". It was an unfortunate time to be left alone but Kimberly stepped in to make my cat more comfortable and loved while I was away.”
“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.”
“Minh was great! Super fast, friendly, and followed all of my instructions perfectly. They took such good care of my dogs and keep me updated after the visit. I really appreciated the attention to detail and how comfortable Minh made the pups feel!”

“Provides exceptional service to our pups. She sends us great pictures, descriptive updates, and offers to do more than what was initially requested. Our dogs love Heather. She treats them like they are her own, and we could not be more grateful!”
“Xiaotong was absolutely fantastic! She gave us lots of photos and updates and was great about giving meds to one of the cats that needed it. We would 100% use her again in the future :)”

“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.”
“Morgan was wonderful to work with. She is reliable and responsive. She was great with our pup and he seemed to have a great time. Will definitely be requesting her services again.”
“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.”
“Lora has been the best since day one with my kitty milo. She always does a little extra for me, it’s truly the small things that matter. I leave on work trips quite frequently so she helps me feel way less guilty leaving my boy alone. When I get back home, I can tell he is way less fussy and needy. She always locks up, leaves my place clean, I never have to worry. Thank you Lora!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Federal Way
Christina was absolutely amazing with both of my kitties. She was attentive and gave each the attention they individually needed. She was responsive, able to come on a moments notice and gave incredible pet comments during each visit. Will definitely be using again in the future.
Jodi is amazing, this was probably the 6th or 7th time that she's taken care of the kitties! She took excellent care of our furbabies and our home - going the extra mile to bring in packages and helping us coordinate through a plumbing emergency whilst being on the other side of the planet! The cats were very happy with her, tails up throughout the trip and lots of personalized love and attention for the shyer fur baby. The home was well taken care of and it was clear that Jodi had taken care to broom around the stairs and always been prompt and thorough with the litter and meds. 10/10, wouldn't go with any other sitter. She even made a video for me when I began missing them extra and was even open to a facetime!! THANK YOU!!
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.

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.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 12,438 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Federal Way. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
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.

- 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.
