“Everything went great! Alice was very attentive to details and took great care of our two cats while we were away. She also took great pictures of the cats and sent them with the Rover card every day. While we were gone, one of our kittens tried to break into the big new food bag, and she handled it to make sure the cats didn't gorge on an unintended buffet. She also brought in packages that were delivered, which was very helpful. Highly recommend!”

“As someone who is a Rover sitter myself, I am very picky with who I have watch my pets. Yuna has watched my pets twice now, and I definitely plan on booking her again for future trips. She always lets us know when she is on her way, she takes plenty of photos of my pets, and I can tell by her summaries that she cares for my pets. Their personalities show through which puts my mind at ease while I’m on vacation.”

She followed all of the care instructions to the letter and provided plenty of updates, was on time, and even managed to coax my shy kitty out for some treats and pets. Highly recommend her as a sitter!”

“Entrusting someone to care for our pets takes a lot of courage and trust, especially if your pet has a particular set of needs and structure. After reading through A LOT of sitter profiles, Marcea stood out the most to us as someone we felt could be a good fit. Our 9yrs old bloodhound had a rough start in life, and came to me at 2yrs old as an anxious, leash-aggressive, separation anxiety, osteo-arthritic, quirky dog. Through behavioral training and medication management, his life is more calm and stable, but he requires structure, routine, and calm patient love and understanding. After a combining households move that put our dog hanging at home alone 3 days a week, I knew we needed to hire someone for drop-in visits. Enter Marcea. Our slow-to-trust anxious boy took to Marcea instantly! She is so kind and calm and loving with him, he looks so much happier after work on scheduled drop-ins. And when the trash can got left in the kitchen and our dog, true to his bloodhound nature, needed to investigate and eat the fine trash can delicacies, Marcea instantly sprung into action. She contacted us immediately out of concern for our pup and his safety, and luckily there wasn’t anything in the garbage that was life threatening, but what a relief she was there (and she cleaned up the mess without any complaint or chastising). If you, like me, have a pup with quirks and anxiety and leaving them alone or with a new person makes you nervous and alters your lifestyle, do yourself a favor and hire Marcea. She is a calming balm for both pets and pet parents.”

About: Hi! I joined a local organization called Purrfect Pals at 16 years old. It was a place dedicated to giving our feline friends a chance for or they provided a happy life for our feline friends where they could live out the rest of their days in peace. Old or young, healthy or sick, grumpy or happy. They all had a home at perfect pals! I strive to follow the same ideals and treat all furry friends as my own family. I grew up with dogs and cats and have spent my entire life around them. Often being called a Dog or Cat whisper (Though i always deny it!) I know how difficult it is to trust your baby with a stranger, I promise to treat your baby as mine. As I would wish no less for my Loki. Hi, Honestly it’s only three days out of the week that I need to limit the exact times that i can provide potty breaks. I work three 9s and two 6.5s, while having Thursday and Fridays off work. I often start early in the morning and am off work by early to mid afternoon, which provides plenty of time for our furry friends even on days I do work my other job! As long as i’m aware of the time frame I can be pretty dang flexible! Base Expectations for Cat Care: Food! water refresh, litter box cleaning, brushing (if cat likes) and play time (this length and type depending on cat (please tell me all about your kitty!)), Base Expectations for Dog Care: Feeding, water refill, potty break! play time! please tell me what your dog likes! I prefer to meet the dog where they are :) *I’ll follow all feeding schedules as best I can!

About: With my nursing background and having my own animals, I am knowledgeable and competent in handling/administering medications and mostly anything medical related with your pets. I have two animals of my own and have owned various pets throughout my life (dogs, cats, birds, reptiles, etc). I am experienced in sitting various animals of all ages and would truly be honored to meet and love on your kiddos. I am available most days of the week since I am currently only working as a nurse part time. Other than my own two pets, I do not have any other commitments. I would prefer to take care of your pets in their own environment so that they are comfortable. However, I am willing to house sit at my home if necessary.

“Janine did a fantastic job caring for Wally while we were traveling! She was incredibly attentive, communicative, and patient throughout the entire process. Wally can be a little cautious and takes time to build trust with new people, and Janine was so understanding and willing to work with him at his own pace. Her patience, kindness, and dedication gave us so much peace of mind knowing he was in great hands. We truly appreciate the care and effort she put into making Wally feel comfortable and safe. Janine is wonderful, and we will absolutely continue using her services. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy sitter!”

About: I’ve initially started taking care of pets in my community after losing my lovely dog, Layla, to cancer. Doing so was healing in ways that I could not have imagined!! I am so excited to continue this journey of love, support and healing. I will treat your pet as if they were my own. I'm currently working from home, which allows me plenty of time to spend with the pets! I'm usually available for daycare & boarding while working, with a few exceptions. I follow the instructions form the caregiver and also listen to what each pet is telling me. I provide a calm yet playful attitude so that everyone feels comfortable.

About: Hi pet parents! I’m Sophie, and I’d love to care for your furry family members in and around the Seattle/Renton area. I have over six years of experience loving and looking after both dogs and cats, and I share my home with Zed, my 6 year old Shiba Inu. I’ve cared for pups of all temperaments — Shiba Inu (not just mine!), golden retrievers, huskies, malamutes, terrier mixes, doodle mixes, and plenty of adorable “everything” mixes. I’m comfortable with pets of all ages and needs, and I’m happy to follow your preferred pace and routine so your dog gets the walk they enjoy most, whether that’s slow and calm or faster and more adventurous. For drop ins, I’m more than happy to stay for cuddles, playtime, or just some company if your pet prefers a buddy around for a little bit. You’ll always get photo updates from me, so you know your fur babies are being loved on and cared for. I can’t wait to meet your pups and kitties! I work from home and my schedule is extremely flexible so I will always do my best to fit around your schedule and adapt to your pets routine, feed times, exercise needs etc. During walks, my attention is fully on your dog's safety (other dogs around, traffic, our environment), pace and generally ensuring they are enjoying their walk. For drop ins, I will follow your house keeping instructions exactly and keep your pets secure, making sure they are fed or given any medication on time, and ensure your house is locked up when I leave. For both services, always send you photos and let you know when I arrive and leave to give you peace of mind :)

About: Experienced Animal Caregiver | Dogs, Cats & Beyond Animals have been a major part of my life both personally and professionally. My experience includes pet sitting as well as professional animal care, including working as a zookeeper and later Head Zookeeper. I have cared for dogs, cats, birds, reptiles, rodents, exotic animals, and hoof stock, giving me experience with a wide range of personalities, behaviors, routines, and care needs. I know how important it is to have someone you trust caring for your pets while you're away. I take the time to learn each animal's individual routine and personality so I can provide care that feels familiar, comfortable, and consistent. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to plan my day around feeding times, walks, playtime, check-ins, and other individual care needs. I’m accustomed to caring for animals every day and understand how important consistency and routine are. I can also accommodate different schedules and spend quality time with pets rather than rushing through visits. I care for each pet according to their normal routine and their owner’s instructions, including feeding, fresh water, walks, litter box or potty care, playtime, enrichment, medications when needed, and plenty of individual attention. I take time to learn each animal’s personality and comfort level and never force interaction. My professional animal-care background has taught me to closely observe behavior, body language, appetite, and other changes that could indicate stress or a health concern. I prioritize safety, keep the pet’s environment clean and secure, and treat every client’s home with care and respect. I’m also happy to provide updates and photos so you know how your pet is doing while you’re away.

About: I have owned and taken care of many different animals throughout my entire life. Friends and neighbors regularly rely on me to take care of their animals while they are gone. I have taken animal science courses throughout all 4 years of my school where we learn about all kinds of animals including livestock and companion animals. In this class, we regularly go to peoples homes/farms and tend to their animals in many different ways such as vaccinating, trimming hooves/nails, properly restraining animals, feeding etc. I have experience taking care of elderly dogs in “doggy hospice” by regularly providing meds and shots, feeding, etc. as well as help raise newborn puppies. It is my goal as a pet owner to work hard and do lots of research in order to provide my pets with the best possible life, and I hope I can do the same for other peoples pets as well. I work full time, but when I am not working, I am always available to take care of any animals. Please reach out a few days in advance so I can make sure I’m free. I will treat your pet and your home like my own and make sure everything is taken care of. I will make sure your animal feels happy and loved.

About: I have about 10 years of experience of pet care, as well as 15+ years of farm sitting. I own two cats of my own and also have experience administering prescription foods. Pet care is a life style. Through my own experience owning pets, I know the effort and commitment it takes. House sitting will be limited to specific availability depending on my own commitments. For my offered services, my goal is to not disrupt the already established flow. I plan to learn and adapt to the care and safety guidelines of each house.

I couldn’t be happier with the care Katya gave my cat, Leilani! Leilani struggles with separation anxiety and tends to get pretty depressed when I go on vacation, so leaving her is always a little stressful for me. Katya was wonderful about communicating throughout my trip, which I really appreciated. But what impressed me most was how well Leilani seemed to do emotionally while I was gone. Normally, when I come home from a trip, Leilani makes sure I know just how unhappy she is that I left her. I usually get the cold shoulder for hours, sometimes even days, before she decides to forgive me and return to her normal, affectionate self. This time, it took just minutes! That’s a pretty big deal. She seemed happy, relaxed, and so much better adjusted than she typically does after I’ve been away. I really believe that says a lot about the attention, patience, and care Katya gave her. What I appreciated most is that Katya clearly understands there’s more to caring for a cat than making sure they’re fed and their litter box is clean. Their emotional well-being matters, too. I’m genuinely grateful to have found Katya and wouldn’t hesitate to trust her with Leilani again. If you’re looking for someone who communicates well, genuinely cares, and pays attention to your cat’s individual needs, I highly recommend her!

Lillian has a very chill aura about her which is SUPER helpful because my dogs are the exact opposite— high energy and high anxiety. She’s able to divide her attention between the high anxiety dog and the high energy without making either one feel left out. She’s been super patient with the high anxiety dog and has been able to gain her trust within just a couple of meetings. Will definitely use her services again in the future.

Irina was wonderful! We have especially shy girls and Irina was super patient and good with them. We are very very happy with how she followed our house, feeding, litterbox, and play rules and expectations. The last time we left them with another sitter they never left their hiding places. This time with Irina even our most shy cat came out to eat and get some pets while the other cat played with her several times. This is very showing of how much they liked and felt comfortable with her. Her updates each visit were detailed and we really appreciated all the photos she sent. Irina is attentive, professional, and thorough. We will be rebooking her in the future and recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter!

Frequently asked questions about Rover

Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.

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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a 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.
