“Jen watched my 2 doggies. She did a great job! My doggies are older and need a little extra TLC. One is deaf and the other one has extreme anxiety. Jen is patient with them. She takes her time to make the doggies feel comfortable. Jen also takes care of the pet parent. She seems videos and pictures during the stay so you can see what your pups are up to. The pictures are really adorable. I will definitely book again.”

About: What sets me apart is my combination of lifelong hands-on experience and professional knowledge of animal care. I’ve had dogs for most of my life and have always shared my home with cats. Growing up, my family bred our dog, and I helped raise and potty train the puppies before they went to their forever homes. That experience taught me the importance of patience, consistency, and positive reinforcement from an early age. Today, I’m a high school Animal Science teacher, where I teach students about animal health, behavior, welfare, and responsible care. I enjoy working with dogs of all ages, especially reinforcing good manners and basic training. Friends and family often ask me for help with training their dogs, and I love helping build confidence through positive reinforcement. I’m also experienced administering medications and following detailed care instructions, so I’m comfortable caring for pets with special medical or daily care needs. Whether your pet is an energetic puppy, an adult dog who loves adventure, a senior who prefers a slower pace, or a cat who enjoys a calm companion, I’ll provide reliable, attentive, and compassionate care tailored to their individual needs. My goal is for every pet to feel safe, loved, and comfortable while giving you peace of mind through regular updates and photos. Since I’m a teacher on summer break I have lots of weekday availability right now. I have very flexible availability, if you don’t see the time/days you need on my schedule, don’t hesitate to reach out and ask. I have a fenced in yard and an XL wire kennel in a calm area your furry friend is welcome to use. My dog, Lady, is very sweet and gets along really well with other dogs (even her grumpy old cousin). She loves playing with others, but I can keep her separated as needed. My cat, Mister, he is okay with other dogs coming over and just hangs out in his own space until he can trust the new doggo. I will treat your pet with the love and care I give to mine. I will follow any rules, commands, and training practices that you use with your pet. I use force-free, reward-based training to build clear communication, trust, and reliable everyday behavior. I have experience with gentle leaders, no-pull harnesses, and structured collar systems when appropriate for safety and handling. I can help with: * Loose-leash walking & pulling * Leash reactivity / frustration * Basic obedience (sit, down, stay, recall) * Recall in distracting environments * Impulse control & leash manners My approach is tailored to each dog’s temperament and focuses on real-world success and consistency between sessions. I also make sure to review each pet’s profile so owners don’t have to repeat information. For severe aggression or complex behavioral cases, I’ll communicate honestly if a certified behaviorist may be a better fit.

About: Hello, I’m Alisha! I truly believe I have the best job in the world. Dogs have always been a part of my life, and I feel lucky to spend my days caring for them. I have decades of experience with dog sitting, boarding, and walking, as well as experience with a wide variety of breeds, personalities, and energy levels. Pet care is my full-time focus, which means I have a flexible schedule and can provide dependable, attentive care for your furry family members. During our time together, your dog will be treated like one of my own—with plenty of love, patience, exercise, enrichment, and personalized attention. Every day is tailored to the needs of the dogs in my care. Depending on the schedule, we may enjoy pack walks, solo adventures, enrichment sniffaris, park visits, or relaxing time at home. I balance exercise, mental stimulation, rest, and plenty of affection to ensure each dog has a safe, fun, and enriching experience. Safety is my top priority. I carefully supervise all pets, use secure leashes and harnesses, follow feeding and medication instructions exactly, and maintain a clean, pet-friendly environment. I always respect clients’ homes, keep doors and gates secure, and provide regular updates for peace of mind.

About: I’ve lived my whole life with animals. From ducks to dogs, there isn’t much I haven’t experienced. My calm and loving nature invites all animals in with confidence. I am confident with all sizes and demeanors. I am mama to an 85lbs lab named Benji and a 15lbs cavalier King Charles named Willow. Pet care is not just a service I offer; it is an essential, non-negotiable part of my daily life. As the owner of a dog named Benji, my schedule is already built around providing consistent, attentive, and loving care. This personal experience ensures that I understand the importance of routine, patience, and vigilance when caring for your pet. When caring for your pet in your own home, my priority is to maintain their normal routine to minimize stress and anxiety. I strictly follow your instructions regarding feeding schedules, walk routes, medications, and household rules. I prioritize home security by ensuring all doors, windows, and gates are securely locked, and I treat your living space with the utmost respect, always leaving it clean and exactly as I found it.

About: I moved from Mi to Wa in 2015 and decided in 2018 to be a dog walker. That was in King county and after moving to a house in 2021, dog boarding turned into my new side job. Last year I also enrolled in Victoria Stilwell’s Academy for positive training. So I am very aware of dog’s body language and needs. I absolutely love dogs and they are truly my life now but when I was 8 that wasn’t the case. I was bit in the face by a family friend’s dog. He was old and on medication, I startled him awake which led to him biting me. From this incident, I watched Victoria Stilwell on animal planet to get over my fear of bigger dogs and here I am today with a certification in dog training and starting my career with human’s best friend. My goal is for you and your dog to be as comfortable as possible. I only treat dogs/pets as I would want someone to treat mine (and believe me I am a high maintenance pet mom 😉) Dogs are my job. Whether it is boarding, sitting, or walking; this is what I do full time. Sometimes I do Instacart to get out a bit but will do that when my boyfriend is home. I am starting up my bath bomb business again so to have a companion working alongside with me is my ideal work day. My boyfriend works from home majority of the time, so there is always someone home. His kids do come over 50% of the week and are very kind and helpful with dogs that are boarding with me. They are 12 and 11 so they aren’t little kids. I have lick mats, Kong Gyro, and plenty of space for your dog to have fun at my house. My house is fenced in, we are updating the property all the time to make sure it is safe as possible. For larger dogs, I have a bell on a ziptie to put on your dog’s collar just so I can hear where they are at all times when I am outside with them. For smaller pups, I always go outside with them due to being in an open area so they are safe. I also have a 30’ leash that I can hook them to for extra safety. Inside, I make them as comfortable as possible. Whatever they like at home I try my best to provide at my house.

About: I have been a professional dog groomer for over 12 years, working with all breeds and ages of dogs. I have had pet dogs and cats of my own for as long as I can remember. Dogs are my passion and I'd love to continue working with them for as long as I can. I also enjoy walking and hiking, and taking four legged friends with me would make it even better. I am currently taking a break from professional dog grooming but miss interacting with numerous dogs in my day-to-day life. Currently, I am available any day from 10am-7pm. I am currently living in an apartment that has two dog parks and a mile long trail on site. One of my dogs is extremely friendly and playful, while the other is older and prefers to nap all day.

About: Hi there! 🐾 I’m a Midwest girl originally from Chicago who now calls the beautiful Pacific Northwest home! I’ve been an animal lover my entire life, growing up surrounded by dogs, cats, rabbits, and birds. Animals have always held a special place in my heart, and I couldn’t imagine life without them! As a proud pet parent to two dogs and two cats, I understand just how much our furry companions mean to us. I also have firsthand experience caring for senior pets, so I know the importance of patience, attentiveness, and a little extra TLC as our furry friends get older. Whether your pup loves long walks, outdoor adventures, or simply curling up for some cuddles, I’m happy to accommodate their individual personality and needs. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and temperaments, and of course, I’m a huge cat lover, too! I’m friendly, dependable, flexible, and genuinely enjoy getting to know each pet’s unique personality. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your furry family member is in loving, attentive hands. I’ll treat your pets with the same love, patience, and care that I give my own. I can’t wait to meet your four-legged best friend! 🐶🐱💕 My schedule is pretty flexible and happy to work with many schedules. Just shoot me a message and we can figure something out. Let’s chat! I am currently not caring for pets in my home as I have a small apartment with 4 pets already. I am happy to care for pets in their own home, and follow their normal schedule. I am very accommodating and súper flexible. Let’s chat!

About: I have been dog sitting since I was 12, with even more care for other pets at home. I have had a pet of some sort all my life, ranging from reptiles to dogs to cats. I am currently working at a Senior Home Full Time Mon-Fri in the morning and am always looking for a refreshing furry friend to play with after the day is done. I am comfortable with any size dog and have even worked with dogs who have anxiety about being with someone other than their owners. I personally have 4 cats that I take care of with my roommate.

About: I’ve been caring for animals my whole life! I’ve always been surrounded by pets through my family and have spent years babysitting dogs and other animals for family members and family friends. I’ve also had a dog of my own and currently have three cats and a ferret. I genuinely love spending time with animals and getting to know their individual personalities and routines. I’ll treat your pets like my own and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away! I’m currently a full-time college student, but I only have classes on Mondays and Tuesdays from 1–3:30 PM. This gives me plenty of flexibility throughout the rest of the week, and I’d love to use that extra time to help pet parents care for their animals. I genuinely enjoy spending time with pets and would be happy to work around their individual routines and needs. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I’ll follow your instructions closely and make sure your pet’s usual routines, feeding schedules, medications, walks, and other needs are maintained. I’m also mindful of doors, gates, leashes, and anything else that could affect their safety. I’ll treat your home and your pets with the same care and respect I would want for my own, and I’m happy to keep you updated with messages and photos while you’re away.

Sierra dropped in for five days. Each day she sent photos taken that day. This was the second time for us to have Soerra, first for drop-in. We had her stay overnight with the pups two months ago so she knew our dogs. She kept in contact and one day let me know one pup would not cooperate. She used Cheerios to get past the issue. Greatly appreciate her experience and communication!

FAQs for Dog Sitting - Fircrest

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Sitting in Fircrest is $22 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $34 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 9,804 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Fircrest. 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.

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 Fircrest 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 .

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.

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 .

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 Fircrest with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Fircrest. On Rover:

  • 87% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 94% 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.

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.
