“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!”

“Monique took excellent care of my dog while I was away! Shoelace took to her immediately and seemed very happy in all of the pictures Monique sent. It was so great to come home to a happy, relaxed pup and know she was well looked after. I will definitely hire Monique again in the future! Thanks, Monique :)”

“A parent notices changes in their kid, even their fur kid, right? Well, my sweet little Linus WUFFED Lora K. (his words...translation: LOVED)... :) Lora went above and beyond my expectations, and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a responsible, caring and sensitive dog sitter. Linus and I look forward to seeing her again and again for all our doggy sitting needs!”

“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.”

About: I love all types of animals and have always had at least one pet in my life. I particularly enjoy spending time with dogs -- I had an Australian Shepherd mix for 11 years and we went on many hikes, long walks, dog park adventures, etc. I recently lost her to old age, and would like to spend my newly freed up time getting to hang out with all of the Rover community's dogs! No dog is too big or too small. I'm comfortable with all sizes and breeds. I am available to walk dogs on weekdays in the mornings before 8:00, on my lunch breaks between 12:00 & 1:00, and anytime after 4:30 p.m or at any time on the weekends. I can also do in-home visits during those hours. In-home stays can be worked out as well depending on your location. I've been an animal lover for as long as I can remember! I grew up with cats, hamsters, and an Australian Shepherd who became my best friend. She was so attached to me that when I left for college, she came along! We spent countless hours hiking, exploring, and going on long walks together, and I was lucky enough to have her in my life until she passed away at 14. I also rescued a kitten during college who was my companion for the next 16+ years. Between the two of them, I have plenty of firsthand experience caring for pets through all stages of life, including their senior years. Both required regular oral medications as they got older, so I'm comfortable administering medications and following established care routines. I also have previous experience as a Rover sitter, providing drop-in visits and house sitting for clients, and I'm excited to be getting back into it! Although I don't currently have pets of my own, animals are still a big part of my life. I frequently care for my parents' two small dogs, and my boyfriend has a cat who gets plenty of love and attention from me. My love for animals goes well beyond cats and dogs, too! I've cared for a variety of pets over the years, including traveling out of state to spend a week caring for someone's chameleon. I especially love reptiles and am happy to discuss care for less traditional pets! Whether your dog needs a long, energetic walk, your senior pet prefers a slower pace, or your cat just wants some company and affection, I'm happy to adapt to their individual personality and routine. My goal is to make sure your pets feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you're away! I know how important it is to feel confident that your pets are in good hands while you're away! I treat every pet and home with the same care and respect I'd want for my own. I do my best to maintain your pet's normal routine, whether that means following specific feeding instructions, administering oral medications, providing fresh water, or making sure they get plenty of exercise and attention. I'm happy to accommodate individual preferences and will always follow your instructions closely. Safety is a top priority during walks and visits. I always keep dogs leashed unless they're in a secure, owner-approved area, and I'm mindful of their behavior, surroundings, and comfort level. I avoid unfamiliar dogs, crowded areas, and situations that could cause unnecessary stress, unless we've specifically discussed your pet's needs and preferences. I'll also make sure all doors, gates, and locks are secure before leaving your home. Communication is important to me, too! I'm happy to provide updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pets are safe, comfortable, and well cared for.
“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 :)”

About: I have been around and caring for dogs for most of my life because either I or a family member has always had one. I also have hands-on experience caring for dogs through my work at the Humane Society, where I interact with dogs of different ages, personalities, energy levels, and behavior needs. I’m currently attending dog training school, which has helped me better understand dog behavior, body language, leash handling, basic commands, and positive training techniques. I currently focus on dog walking, drop-in visits, and doggy daycare. I enjoy making sure dogs get the exercise, attention, potty breaks, playtime, and care they need while their owners are away. I take the time to learn each dog’s personality, favorite things, fears, triggers, and what helps them feel comfortable. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my priority, and I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages during their care. If you’re happy with my service, a written review is always greatly appreciated and helps future pet parents feel more comfortable booking with me. 🐾 I currently have a flexible schedule, which allows me to be available for dog walks, drop-in visits, and doggy daycare throughout the week. My availability may vary by day, but I do my best to accommodate different schedules and routines. Feel free to message me about the dates and times you need, and I’ll let you know what I have available. I live in an apartment, but I make sure dogs receive plenty of walks, exercise, potty breaks, and attention. I always follow the owner's instructions and take the time to learn each dog's routine and needs. I currently volunteer with the Humane Society and Resilient Hearts Animal Sanctuary, where I work with dogs of different sizes, breeds, and temperaments. My goal is to provide a safe, positive, and stress-free experience for every dog in my care. I am also pursuing a degree in psychology and will be starting the Karen Pryor Dog Trainer Foundations course. My long-term goal is to become a service dog trainer, so I'm passionate about continuing to learn and build experience working with dogs.
About: Best way to contact me is thru messages on Rover. I've taken care of dogs since I was 12years old,helping neighbors with walking them and later on I started to train dogs obedience. I love to give love any dog I take care of. Dogs are my passion and I do it from heart. I'm homemaker so I have plenty of time during the day and weekends as well. I'm pretty active so quick or fast walk aren't problem for me. I always adjust to the condition/stamina of doggie and his owner. I will always make sure to talk with owners about all the details and dog to make sure everything and everybody is safe and happy
About: Update: We have adopted 7/7/26 a Shih-tzu 10lb. I raised both a Shih Tzu-Poodle mix and a Tibetan Terrier from puppies into their senior years. They were truly part of our family, and after losing them, I’m not emotionally ready to adopt again. (My daughter got a dog now-7/7/2026) Pet sitting feels like the perfect win-win your pets will be showered with love, attention, and care, while also bringing that special furry companionship back into our home. I’m experienced in daily pet care, including brushing and coat maintenance. Since both of our dogs had coats that matted easily, daily brushing and regular grooming were essential, and I personally maintained and trimmed their coats myself. In addition to caring for my own dogs, I’ve pet sat for friends and family during vacations, often caring for their pets for weeks at a time. I also worked as a nanny for several years, where I regularly cared for a German Shepherd who became one of my favorites. We took daily walks to the park, and I helped maintain his coat, especially during shedding season. My love for animals began growing up on a farm surrounded by dogs, cats, and frequent litters of puppies and kittens. Being able to witness and help care for animals from such a young age gave me a deep appreciation for them and taught me patience, attentiveness, and compassion. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets, and I will always care for them as if they were part of my own family. My schedule is very flexible, I work from home in the evenings, the timing is perfect for winding down, they can relax in my office while I work or in our living room or room. In my home: Safety is my top priority. I have a large, fully fenced backyard, that connect directly to our lower living area allowing for secure and easy access for potty breaks. For variety i can take them around our neighborhood for walks and can utilize a large park at a nearby school for additional play time. Pet not good on walks, NO PROBLEM: Having owned a Tibetan Terrier who was incredibly loving with family and children, but reactive to other dogs on walks I deeply understand that every dog is different. If a pet is anxious or not good on walks, we can stay withing our private back yard. In the clients home: I follow the owners established routines and instructions to keep the pet safe and comfortable in their familiar environment, including tailored neighborhood walks.
About: Love dogs, all ages, breeds, sizes, etc. I live with my husband and kids and I have always loved having pets around!

About this sitter: I am a mom of two girls who love pets; I have a daughter who is almost 7 and loves animals and a 4 month old who isn't afraid of animals as she has been around my sisters dogs. I work as a personal trainer at home and love my job. I work based on when I have clients so I am home a lot. I am home daily and work from home. My schedule is flexible and conducive to caring for your pet!! I already care for our pet so adding another is great.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Federal Way
Rose was amazing! Truly gave me peace of mind while we were gone knowing my babies would have someone checking on them. It was also so so nice to come home to a cleaner cat box than what we would’ve had we left them by themselves!! Highly recommend Rose to care for your fur babies

Cassie did such an amazing job with our kitty! We have a fairly high maintenance Maine Coon, and Cassie kept her brushed, played with her, and loved on her. She sent great pictures and thorough Rover Cards every day. It was such a comfort knowing she was well cared for while we were gone. She also took care of my plants and bird feeders. I highly recommend her services. She is kind, diligent, and professional.

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.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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 .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
sitters on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
