“This was my first time using Rover for my new puppy and Elizabeth was amazing. From our meet & greet to the day of the drop-in, she was so kind, highly responsive, and followed my instructions to a T! I look forward to rebooking and highly recommend Elizabeth.”
About: I have been pet sitting for 3 years now and want to make a future out of it. Any experience helps me ensure that my veterinary technician career pathway is tangible! I am completely free in availability- although I may be busy during the day doing my volunteering at my local cat clinic! My schedule fluctuates within a wide range, but is usually only during 2 days of the week. I have a fenced yard and two cats that I groom and take care of myself. I have had both of them for about 2 years now and they are the healthiest; cutest cats you’d ever meet!
“Elizabeth had a quick response to our last-minute need for a drop-in while we were visiting from out of town. She already had great reviews so we felt we could trust her with our baby. She followed all of our instructions? Was very communicative, and took extra care to make sure our girl felt comfortable and safe with a new person. Leaving your baby while out of town can be super stressful when you don’t have a sitter you know, but she took the stress out of it. Thank you!”
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.
“Sara was accommodating and personable with me and great with my two 14-year-old cats. She was able to medicate Esteban and got both of my cats to warm up to her by the end of the stay. It warmed my heart to see them seeking out pets and cuddles!”
About: Hi there my name is Kelsey and I have centered my life around the health and well being of our furry friends. I spent 6 years working in pet insurance and have gained a lot of knowledge about how to create healthy and safe environments for our animals. The key is giving them time to warm up to a new environment, routine care and lots of affection. My own dog turns 15 this year and people still ask me if she is a puppy because of how active and happy she is around others. I always treat every animal as if they are my own and would be honored to do so for your pet too. I spend the majority of my time at home, hanging out in the backyard and have a pretty flexible schedule. We’d go outside at least 5-10 times a day, always early in the morning and right before bed. I have a fenced yard on over an acre of land and lots of non-harmful plants that my dogs loves to sniff around. When the dogs are outside I will be right there with them enjoying the afternoon.
About: I have taken care of my friends animals growing up. I never could have a dog because my mom is allergic. 2 years and 4 months ago I met my best friend. She is a border collie/aussie mix and she made my life way more active than it was before. I love animals and i always have, they are a special part of this world. I currently work at Costco! I am living in Maple Valley and I have a best friend named Harley and she is a beautiful and amazing Border Collie/aussie! I have a fenced in yard that my dog enjoys very much. I am always cautious of what is on the ground as well. I am always alert on sniffing and where they are playing. I always make sure if there is another dog, that treats are waiting and I expect calmness and if not I am good at distracting if needed.
About: Puppy care, elderly dog care, and working on my Red Cross pet first aid certification. I have cared for teacup small, pony-sized, large dogs, and white faced elderly dogs that need special attention. I love every dog I met and can’t wait to meet yours! I am doing school online. I can do early mornings, late nights, or if you need me to watch your pup at home. My days are open to whenever I need to drop by When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize maintaining their routine, providing plenty of love, exercise, and companionship, and keeping their environment clean and safe. I follow all care instructions closely to ensure your pets are getting exactly what they need. I also give regular updates (and adorable pictures) to ensure peace of mind.
About: Hi, I’m Ardelia! As a lifelong pet lover, science nerd, a soccer coach, and a mom, I know that your pets aren't just animals—they are family. I understand the stress of finding someone you can trust with your "fur babies," and I am here to provide the peace of mind you need while you’re away. We have Luke, our sweet 6-year-old German Shepherd/Husky mix, and Gabe, our 10-year-old cat. Our home is a pet paradise! We have a large, fully fenced yard with professional turf, perfect for zoomies and safe outdoor play. Why choose me? Medical Experience: My senior cat, Gabe, is diabetic. I am fully comfortable and experienced in administering medications and monitoring special medical needs. Total Flexibility: Life happens! Whether it’s a last-minute business trip or a change in plans, I offer a flexible cancellation policy and welcome short-notice bookings. Active Lifestyle: When I’m not coaching on the soccer field, I’m hiking the beautiful PNW trails. If your dog loves to move, they’ve found the right sitter! A "Mom’s" Perspective: I treat every guest pet with the same love, routine, and attention I give my own kids and pets. I have a flexible work from home schedule, so I have plenty of time on weekdays and weekends to care for your fur babies. I set my own schedule so I can arrange my workday appointments accordingly around your pet's needs. For overnight or day visits, I have a fenced back yard with turf and two friendly pets to keep them company in my home. I will always treat your home and your fur babies with love and respect during drop-in and walking visits. Under my care, I will give your pets my sole attention and ensure they are happy and loved while you are away.
About: I have experience working on this app since around 2017 in the Seattle metro area. I love animals of all kind and have experience with extra large to extra small. I am currently available full time. This means I will stop accepting requests at 40 hours per week. My weekends and weekdays are open for pet care. I will gladly follow all instructions left to keep your fur baby satisfied and safe while you are away during our house sittings and/or visits.
“Cynthia was amazing with my 2 dogs! This was my first time using Rover and I loved how my dogs were able to stay in the comfort of their own home instead of being boarded. I went on a business trip for 1 week and she walked and fed them twice a day. She also sent updates and photos after each check in to let me know how they were doing. Thanks so much, I’ll definitely use this service again! ?”
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
About: I currently have two high energy pitbulls of my own, so I’m very comfortable handling strong, active dogs and keeping them mentally and physically engaged. I’m patient, attentive, and experienced with different temperaments, along with playful puppies or senior dogs. I treat every pet like my own and always prioritize their safety, comfort, and routine that you have set for your dog. I do also have experience with bite work when it comes to protection line and high energy breeds. I do require dogs to have some sort of foot wear for hot days Since I’m currently between jobs, I have a flexible, open schedule and can dedicate my full attention to your pet. I’m available 7 days a week, mornings through evenings, making me a great option for last-minute bookings or dogs that need extra company and care throughout the day. Your pet’s safety is my number one priority. My home is fenced in and safe, and I’m here all day so your dog will never be left alone for long. I follow each owner’s routines closely, send regular photo updates, and will reach out immediately if anything comes up.
About: I’ve grown up around dogs, mostly Pit Bulls, and have always been comfortable caring for and being around them. I also cared for my own dog for over a year after getting her when she was around 6 months old. She had a difficult past and had already had puppies at a very young age, so she needed extra patience, trust, and consistency. I worked with her and taught her basic commands, and she became very responsive to me. I’m currently available for pet care any day and at flexible times throughout the week. Starting August 31, I’ll be attending school Monday through Friday from 1:30 PM to 5:30 PM. Outside of those hours, I’ll still have plenty of availability for walks, drop-ins, sitting, and other pet care needs. My school schedule is consistent each day, so I’m able to plan my availability reliably around it. I treat every pet in my care like they are my own. I want them to feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while their owner is away. I make sure they are fed on their normal schedule, have fresh water, get their walks and exercise, and have plenty of playtime and attention. I also enjoy playing with their favorite toys and getting to know their personality and routine. I understand that some pets may take a little time to warm up to someone new, so I’m patient and let them get comfortable with me at their own pace.
Pet 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!

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 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.
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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
