“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, once again, extremely patient with our anxious cat, and very helpful with various unforeseen events as they arose. We are extremely pleased with her service, and hope she will accept the next time our cat needs some drop-in company!”
“Sarah is a lovely human being. I normally put my dog in boarding and have her feed my birds and cat when I go out of town, but this time he had to stay home instead. I was super nervous about leaving him alone, but her detailed and enthusiastic reports kept me reassured the entire time I was gone and it's clear he had a blast. A+, 10/10.”
About: I've taken care of dogs since I was kid. I've helped raise 1 Yorkie Terrier and 2 Shih Tzu's, I've also taken care several Cats and Larger dogs for client's. While I'm new to Rover I'm not new to Pet care. I currently work as a Real Estate Agent, which means I'm always on the run and in between Seattle and Tacoma, Drop it's and walks are my way for taking a break in between those events Pets will be taken care of to your specification. Prior to the walk/drop in I'll reach out to you directly to see if there is anything specific needed for today's walk/drop in. Afterwards a short message is sent from me outlining the events that may have occurred during the visit/walk
“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.”
“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.”
“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 watched dogs and walked dogs for family friends since I was about 14-15 and have always taken great care of them, making sure they also get to play with me or interact with me before I leave the home. I do competitive horseback riding and have learned how to treat an animal right and take care of one through this. I have watched my grandma's older dog that needs medication 3-4 times a day and I have made sure she's gotten her meds on time every single time. It's the most important thing to me to make sure the animals are happy and content even when their owners aren't home. I work full time, my schedule is monday-friday 9am-6pm with a hour lunch. I am able to do drop ins or walks mid day on my lunch depending on the distance. Since I have experience with horses and farm dogs I feel that I’m great with control when walking, I also enjoy just hanging out with pets even if it’s while watching a movie
“Morgan did really great with my mean Ole kitty cat! She doesnt do well at all with strangers but Morgan was patient and thoughtful which helped her build trust in Morgan and gave my cat time to warm up to her so she could feel safe when she visited. She was also very diligent about following my instructions for care which meant I was able to be fully confident in my cats care while I was out of the country for two weeks for my honeymoon. Very professional and timely and would work with her again.”
“I really appreciated being able to trust Tiana with our pets over the holiday. She was responsive to their needs and communicated wonderfully throughout her time with them. I felt like she truly cared for our animals like they were her own.”
About: Caring for others comes naturally to me, and that includes pets. I love giving animals the attention, affection, and care they deserve while making them feel safe, comfortable, and happy. I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and committed. Whether it’s walks, feeding, playtime, or simply keeping them company, I’ll treat your pet with the same love and care I’d give my own. I know how important trust is, so I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages while you’re away!🤗🌸 I’m a current university student on summer vacation. I don’t have a job, so I have lots of time all through the day and week! I’m happy to help and provide the best service, to your cute pets!☺️🤞🏻💛 Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I’ll respect and follow your instructions, I will maintain your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible. I’ll provide regular photo updates, make sure they have fresh food and water, plenty of attention, and a calm caring environment while you’re away 🫶🏻
“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!”
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.
“Cyndi was wonderful! I’m always nervous leaving our girls so I really appreciate her being so consistent and communicating while we were gone. She really went above and beyond for us and I can’t recommend her enough! We will 100% be rebooking her for all of our future trips.”

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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Federal Way is $28 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $33 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 12,276 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Federal Way. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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. 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 , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

- 86% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 93% 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 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.
