About: I’m an avid dog lover with 9 years of experience as a dog owner, caring for 7 small dogs back home in California. I’ve also dog sat for friends and family, and I’m comfortable managing multiple dogs at once. I look forward to meeting new furry friends and making sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for! I am currently a graduate student at the University of Puget Sound pursueing my Doctors of Physical Therapy. Currently during the school semester I am available on the weekneds but over the summer will be available all days of the week. I prioritize safety by following each pet’s routine closely and keeping dogs on leash while staying aware of our surroundings. Each of my dogs back home has their own personalities and preferances on how they like to be walked and interact with the environment and so translate that to make sure pets feel comfortable, loved, and well cared for. I provide regular updates for peace of mind as I will give them the quality of care as if they were my own little pups back home.

About: I've taken care of dogs ever since my aunt asked to housesit when I was 14, and I've been doing it since. I have cleaned, trained, gave medicine, and treated dogs for a while. I make sure that everything is do is good for both you and the dog, and if you need me to do the basics, I do the extra mile. Mostly I do whatever I can and need to make sure both you and your dog or animal is happy with my service. I'm currently working part time at a deli, but I always have time for my dog and helping my neighbors with their pets, I've been trained with lizards, bunnies, cats, and of course dogs, I have housesit for others every since I was 14 and I always make sure to go above and beyond. I have taken care of puppies, older dogs, dogs that are bigger then me, and dogs that have a record of biting others. I live to work and serve since I just love animals. We have a decent backyard for our golden retriever/yellow lab mix, he gets to run and go outside whenever he needs due to the doggy door I set up during the first couple months of having him when he was a puppy.

About: Throughout my life I've had 4 dogs. Currently I have two, with one being a 2-year-old pup I've been training ever since I adopted her and one that's pretty old and requires some special care. I used to work as a dog groomer for a business called Kendra's Grooming and I would watch her dogs when she went away with her family for vacation. For Kendra's Grooming I would bathe, dry, and hold dogs whenever needed. All of my classes are online currently for the summer and I'm open whatever day of the weekdays and Saturdays along with whatever time or for however long. So, I'm able to work whatever time is needed. I would be able to keep a constant eye on your pup, take them on however many walks you would want, and would be able to care for them in whatever way is needed. I've worked with animals with all sorts of personalities and in varying stages of health, so I can work with any form of animal, and I can accommodate for any of your pet's unique needs.

I came home to a very happy and relaxed dog rather than a sick and clingy dog when left at a kennel. I received pics every day so I knew he was doing great. A great relief to me when I have to travel.

About: Hello! I have owned dogs for the past 10 years, and have been dog sitting for 5 years. My goal is to keep them happy and healthy. I will treat every dog in my care like my own. Hello! I have a collie mix named Sadie who has taught me a lot as a dog owner. I love all pets especially dogs, and it is a joy to see a smile on a dog’s face. I treat every dog in my care like my own in that I believe their physical and mental health is important to a happy dog. It can be a little stressful for a dog to be in a new environment with a new person, so I like to keep their routine the best I can.

Samantha was wonderful and did a great job checking in on our little 10 yr old cat Obie. This was our first time using her and she was very quick to respond to my inquiry. Samantha was courteous, polite and very consistent with daily updates on Rover without issue. Obie seemed to enjoy her visits and company as well!

About: I have taken care of dogs and other animals for about 10 years! I have experience with a wide variety of dogs, both in size and in character. I have dealt with unpredictable rescues, and am great at connecting with any type of animal! I view taking care of animals as a privilege, not a job! I am a university student home for the summer, so I have a lot of flexibility and availability. I can be home as much as needed for your animal’s needs! I have no pets in my home, so I can care for any animals without having to worry about interactions between other animals. I can stay at a clients house as much as is needed during the day to take care of animals, and I would be happy to help organize, clean, or house sit as well if needed!

About: Hello! My name is Aleece, but you can call me Lee. I’ve been a pet owner since I was 6 years old, being completely responsible for feeding my fish and amphibians with supervision as a child, until I could take care of them properly with little to no help. As a teenager through middle and high school, I would dog-sit for my aunt’s dog Miko after school and walk him in the New Holly neighborhood in Seattle. As of today, I am a cat mom of two (Tsuki, 7 years old, and Fusilli, ~2 years old) and watch my boyfriend's cats (5). All 7 cats have had their rounds of tapeworms, fleas, ringworm, Urinary tract scares and more. My cats’ own medical histories have shaped my understanding of cat behavior, parasites and disease, and have provided me with a basic-moderate understanding of certain courses of action. I adore teaching my cats tricks and grooming all dogs and cats, and maintain a litter box cleaning schedule of once everyday. I also own my poop bags and small dog/large cat harness if requested. My dream is to own a field dog for hiking someday, then retire with enough land for the pup and my senior kitties can frolic and chase whatever bugs their tiny hearts desire ❤️ I’m currently looking for part time/full time work and create art in my down time. Other hobbies include cleaning, self care, water sports, hanging out with friends and DnD. I have more than ample time to fully and responsibly give your pets the care they deserve ❤️ I don’t have a yard, yet in my client’s hime, I would take the time to learn where their food bowls, toys and favorite spots are. If your pet is timid or show signs of aggression, I would not approach as to not pose as a threat/stressor. Any instructions for pet care will be reviewed thoroughly. Given I’m a newer sitter, I will definitely ask questions when they come up

About: I have about 10 years of experience in veterinary medicine. I worked in rescue for 2 years, then general practice for just over 6 years, and have been working in a mobile oncology clinic for the last 2 years. Any medications or special treatments needed are no problem for me. I have provided pet sitting services many times throughout the last 10 years and even prior to working in the veterinary industry I enjoyed helping people care for their animals while out of town for various lengths of time. I currently work 3 days a week in person in oncology and 1 day a week remote. My oncology days vary in hours but typically I start at 7:30am and am done most days before 4:00pm. I have no problem with crating or utilizing any special barriers or set up required to keep your pet safe in your house. I have a specific routine and set up that works for my dog in my own home, so I understand that every pet is a little different and unique.

Tiffany was amazing! She took such good care of our 4 dogs while we were out of town for the week. She kept them on schedule and in their normal routines, it's like we were even gone! She went above and beyond to make sure we came home to a calm house.

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: I’ve been caring for pets for about 10 years, providing consistent, attentive care for dogs of different sizes and personalities. My experience includes daily walks, playtime, feeding routines, administering oral medications, light grooming such as brushing, and, most importantly, giving plenty of love and attention. I understand how important it is to maintain a pet’s normal routine so they feel safe and comfortable. I’m patient, observant, and attentive to each dog’s individual needs, whether that’s extra exercise, gentle care, or simply companionship. I am currently working 5 days a week, and will be available on my days off. I miss dog sitting/dog walking as a hobby and would love to start doing it again. I have 3 cats and 2 dogs at my house, so I prefer to take care of the pets at the owners home. I would care for them by playing, taking them outside as needed, staying on a feeding schedule and possibly bathing if the owners request !

This is the first time we have used Katiana. She came highly recommended from our neighbor. She dropped in the week before her visit to meet the dogs. Then she was very prompt about her arrival time when we had her stop to take care of the dogs midday. We will be relying on her for multiple-day needs in the future.

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Fox Island

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Sitting in Fox Island 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 Dog 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 Dog Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of July 2026, there are 8,426 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Fox Island. 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 Fox Island 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.

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 Fox Island 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 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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.

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 Fox Island 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 Fox Island. On Rover:

  • 93% 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.

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.
