“Axell was amazing! Our kitties and home were well cared for during our two week trip. Axell was always on time and a great communicator. We would definitely book Axell again in the future!!”
“Jodi was awesome! She took great care of my dogs and made sure to play with them in the back yard to let some energy loose. Highly recommend Jodie and I would love to have her watch my girls again if I leave town!”
“Kimberly was kind, responsive, and gave great updates on all the pets and playtime our cat was requesting :). We really appreciated that she came for a meet & greet beforehand, and loved receiving plenty of pictures every day. Thanks again!”
“Sarah is amazing! We had a hiccup with access to our home and Sarah was there to support and make sure she could get in to take our cats. One of our cats needs medication daily and we were so happy to have found Sarah because she is so talented and gave our cat her medicine so easily. Grateful for the care and love Sarah gives to our cats.”
“Rose is very responsible. She leaves detailed notes in Rover Card at every visit, providing us with the peace of mind knowing she took good care of our kitties. I sure hope to book with Rose again when we take vacation in the future.”
About: Alex has a 6 year old Golden Retriever at home which she loves and adores! Alex knows how important it is to provide and receive quality care, Alex will provide care to your dog while paying close attention to detail as needed. Whether it is stopping in to relieve your pet, taking them on a walk, playing with them, or a combination of such, Alex will care for you pet as best as she can- similar to how you would. If you choose to have Alex sit for your pet, they will get plenty of play time with her sweet and playful Golden Retriever named Bodhi. Alex is flexible and open to meet and greets to ensure the dogs are a good fit for positive interactions. I am currently home full time with my 9 month old baby, and my dog Bodhi. This gives me great availability to be present with the dogs throughout the day. I have a fully fenced yard and a good and safe walking neighborhood. The dogs are welcome to hangout in the house or outside as they prefer. Since I am home full time I can let them out to go potty as frequently as needed. With the rainy season upon us, I make sure to dry the dogs with a clean towel each time they come back inside.
About: My name is Samantha! I am teacher and have breaks to help out other dog owners. I have owned dogs my whole life. I am very safe and responsible and am used to managing 30 kids all day, I can definitely handle a couple pups! I will be very respectful of your time and can be flexible to accommodate you and your pup. I love going in walks, and would love to take yours on safe ones as well. I can do drop in visits and overnights as well, thank you!! I am off for tbe summer so I have lots of time currently! I no longer have pets of my own anymore, so it's even easier for me to make space in my schedule. I have a yard but it is not fully fenced so pets would always be leashed. I no longer have any animals in my home.
“Minh was so helpful and watching and checking in with our dogs Rex and Roo. She sent photos everyday and even checked with me about the weather and playing outside. 10/10 would book again!”
“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.”
“Winnie has been the BEST for Meko and we are so fortunate to have met her over a month ago. Meko and winnie have created a bond and I couldn't be happier!!! Thank you for genuinely caring for Meko!!”
“Monique did a wonderful job with our high energy 1 year old and her older brother. The pictures with the big smiles on their faces proved it all. She is highly recommended and we will be happy to have her sit again.”
About: Hi! My name is Emma and I'm probably one of the biggest dog lovers you will ever meet! I started pet/house sitting when I was a teenager and have over 15 years of experience outside of Rover. I have never known life without a dog and I never want to. I've owned many different breeds of dogs throughout the years, varying from Elkhounds to Rat Terriers and Labradors to Corgis, I've handled them all.They have feelings and can get lonely at times, especially when their family is away. That's why I want to be a dog sitter, so your little (or big) one doesn't have to feel so alone. I look forward to hearing from you and your pooch soon! (: During the summer, my work is very flexible and the availability on my calendar means that I am available for the entire day. During the fall/winter I teach three days per week, Tuesday and Thursday in the late afternoon/early evening, and Saturday mornings. On those days I would be out of the house for no more than 3-4 hours. Committing to look after your pets means that I'm committing to fitting into their life and routine as much as possible. If your pet is not very active and just wants to be around me all day and cuddle, I am happy to do that. If your pet is a bit more aloof and isn't super into spending time with humans, I will not force them into hanging out with me. I prioritize your pets comfort and respect their boundaries, and yours. If you pet has a daily schedule or routine, I do everything in my power to stick to it, no matter how "ridiculous" it may seem! No routine or ritual is too complicated or "ridiculous" to me. Pets are members of the family and I treat them with that level of respect. I listen to them and pay attention to what they're trying to communicate. Reading body language and knowing how to respond is important when it comes to building trust and I always adapt to meet them where they're at. I am very attentive and observant, especially with pets I haven't worked with before, and pay attention to their habits and make note of any changes. I understand that some dogs may be anxious with new people and that can result in changes to their potty, eating, and behavioral habits, so I keep an eye on those to make sure they dont get worse. I am also very communicative so if anything concerning pops up, I will make sure to notify 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.”
“Issana is wonderful! She is a real cat whisperer - she charmed my shy kitty out from hiding and made quick friends with both of my cats. Issana is kind and trustworthy. I highly recommend 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.”
“Ricardo was great! I needed help giving my cat medication 2x daily. He let me know when he was heading over and arrived on time. Olive did great with him, she was relaxed and cooperated nicely. 😊”
“Emily is seriously amazing. We love her so much. She interacts with Kenzai keeping him stimulated and never bored. I love that she gives all her attention to Kenzai while she dogsits. We were running 10 minutes late coming home and she was very flexible with the time. I can’t recommend her enough! 10/10!!!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Federal Way
Rose took amazing care of our two golden doodles. We had a friend dropping in to feed and let our boys out in the morning and evening while we were out of town but it didn’t feel like enough so we hired Rose to let them out mid day and play with them. She sent great updates and photos. We really appreciate the attention to detail and care she gave to our boys.
Cassy is the best! She took great care of my 4 cats and household. We loved working with her. She is communicative, attentive to detail and super flexible. She sent us videos and photos everyday throughout our trip. We will not hesitate to have her again, she really cares about the kitties.
Kim was so great to work with. Wonderful communication, Sasha really took to her almost right away and was probably a little bit disappointed when I came home. Ha! Would absolutely trust her with any of my pets and in my home. Thank you, Kim, you are such a gift to pet owners who have a lot of travel.
Jesse is fantastic! He was very patient with my mini pig, who is very stubborn and vocal. He took the time to understand and listen to her needs. He communicates well and kept me updated with my pet. I feel comfortable leaving my pet in his care and highly recommend him.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Federal Way on Rover is $27.75 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
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 July 2026, there are 12,515 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Federal Way. On Rover:
- 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.
