About: As a lifelong animal lover, I share my home with two Huskies, Thor and Bird, along with two cats. Growing up around a wide variety of animals gave me hands-on experience with diverse breeds and temperaments. Additionally, my father is a veterinary surgeon with over 50 years of experience, which instilled in me a deep respect for animal health, safety, and proper care protocols from an early age. Highly flexible availability for in-home care, house sitting, and local meet-ups. While I cannot accommodate boarding in my own home due to my resident pets, I am fully available to travel to you. Message me directly to coordinate scheduling, logistics, and care instructions. For your convenience and peace of mind, I am available to provide care directly at your home or arrange meet-and-greets within the Maple Valley and Renton areas. To ensure a seamless experience, we can discuss specific scheduling, location details, and care instructions via Rover chat.
“Reagan is wonderful! While we were out of town for ten days, Reagan did two drop in visits a day with our two boy cats. She was so loving and attentive to them. She’s super detail oriented with their routines and was up for dealing with all their cat quirks. She played with them every visit and sent us the most fun pictures and updates each time! Both cats, even our very shy guy, clearly loved hanging out with her. We so appreciate Reagan’s help with our little guys. We will definitely book again!”
About: With over 20 years of animal care experience, my top priority is providing a safe, joyful, and nurturing environment for your dog. My approach is built on a foundation of respect for each animal's individual personality and needs, ensuring they feel secure and loved throughout their stay. Our property is a canine paradise! With just under two fully enclosed acres to explore, your dog will enjoy the perfect blend of sunny open grassy areas for play and a peaceful forest for sniffing adventures. This isn't just a yard; it's a daily adventure. My experience spans all stages of life, from energetic puppies requiring patience and training reinforcement to senior dogs who need gentle companionship and precise medication administration. Having worked closely with professional trainers as a passionate hobby, I'm skilled in maintaining routines and positive reinforcement.
“This was our second time having Cynthia, and she is such a great cat sitter!! She clearly cares a lot about animals and takes great care of them. She sent newsy updates for each visit so we knew our cats were doing well. Thanks so much, Cynthia!”
About: I’ve had both dogs and cats and am very familiar with taking care of animals of all age ranges. I’ve had extensive experience with puppies I’m currently working part time and would love to hang out with animals for some extra income and a serotonin boost! Love cats and dogs equally I have a fenced environment and depending on dog personality am aware to move dog to other side of street to avoid contact with more aggressive dogs
“Isabel was such a great sitter for my 2 cats while we were out of town. She was prompt everyday and sent a ton of pics and videos with each drop in. Didn't have to worry at all while we were gone because she gave such good thorough updates. Definitely recommend booking Isabel for your pet sitting needs. Your pets will be so well cared for”
“Kimberly did a great job watching our girls while we were gone last week! She made sure she spent lots of time with them, they got their meds and all their basic needs were taken care of. We appreciate her help and would definitely ask her again!”
About: Hi everyone! I grew up with cats and dogs and am no stranger to all there needs, I regularly sit for my friends and family and can handle all of your pet sitting needs. My job is Monday thru Friday 7-3 so I'm available between 6-7 am and after 3 during the week and any time on the weekends My dog goes to the dog park almost daily during the week and is no stranger to going on hikes on weekends, she is very good with other dogs and would never turn down a play mate.
About: I’ve always had a deep love for all animals — from cats and dogs to bunnies, chickens, and goats. If I could live on a farm or animal sanctuary surrounded by fur and feathered friends, I’d do it in a heartbeat. Having worked in multiple animal hospitals and clinics, I’ve developed strong skills in animal care, patience, and compassion. Caring for animals isn’t just what I do — it’s who I am. have some health challenges that limit me from working a typical job, but spending time with animals isn’t work for me—it’s pure joy. This is playtime for both of us, and I’m grateful for every moment I get to share with these sweet and special souls. I always make sure to leave things just as they were—or even better! I take great care of the animals I look after, making sure they’re happy, comfortable, and loved. Whether it’s playtime, cuddles, or a little baby talk (because who can resist?), your pets will always receive the same love and attention you’d give them yourself. Animals are such sweet and special souls, and when I’m with them, they have my full attention.
About: I’ve been caring for animals for over 10 years and have experience with both dogs and cats of all different ages, personalities, and needs. I’ve cared for seniors, special-needs pets, anxious animals, and pets who need oral medications or a little extra patience. I’m big on following each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible — meals, walks, medications, playtime, bedtime, and all the little things they’re used to at home. Some pets want to be attached to your hip, while others need time and space to warm up, and I’m happy to let them set the pace. I have two cats of my own and have had cats throughout my life, so I’m very comfortable with cat care as well as dogs. I’m used to everything from easygoing pets to the stubborn, mischievous, and “will absolutely eat that if you turn around for two seconds” variety. Most importantly, I want you to feel comfortable while you’re away. I’ll pay attention to your instructions, keep you updated, and make sure your pet is safe, comfortable, and getting plenty of attention. I spend most of my free time at home and have a pretty flexible routine, so I’m able to give pets plenty of attention, playtime and company. We always start the day with a morning walk before I head to work, and I’m usually home by 3pm for the rest of the afternoon and evening. When I’m not home, my husband usually is, so there’s typically someone around to keep an eye on things and give your pet some company. I can sometimes accommodate short-notice requests, and I live right next to two parks in a safe neighborhood with plenty of places to walk. My home is kept pretty pet-safe — my two cats are professional troublemakers, so they’ve made sure we don’t leave much out that curious pets can get into. It’s just my husband and me at home, so there aren’t lots of unfamiliar people coming and going. We have a fully fenced backyard, and the house is mostly hardwood and tile, so scratches, muddy paws, and normal pet messes aren’t something I stress about. If your pet needs their own space, they can also have an entire room to themselves for a quiet, comfortable place to relax.

About: I’ve always had a love for animals, especially dogs! 🐾 I understand that every dog has their own unique personality, energy level, and needs.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Hobart
I had such a great experience with Shannon as my sitter. She was very attentive with my cat Momo and made sure she got lots of love and playtime. Shannon sent updates and photos every visit, which really put me at ease while I was away. Momo can be shy but warmed up to her right away, that says a lot! I’ll absolutely book her again.
This is our second time using Shannon for our cat Momo and she's the best. Tons of photos, great communication, and when a snow storm caused some damage at our house she let us know and even offered to help. Total peace of mind knowing Momo is in good hands. We will keep using Shannon!

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
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.
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 .

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy.
