“Fantastic sitter. Not only do my pets always receive amazing care, but she communicates, sends photos and keeps me updated every step of the way. I am so glad to have found her. Highly recommend her for pet sitting/care! Thanks again for everything Kali.”

About: I have 27 years of experience in veterinary medicine as a veterinary assistant. I'm comfortable administering oral medications and injections, caring for senior pets, and monitoring pets with special medical needs. I understand how important it is to provide patient, compassionate, and reliable care so your pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide reliable visits, walks, feeding, medication administration, and companionship throughout the day. I understand the importance of consistency and communication, and I enjoy spending quality time with pets while helping them maintain their normal routines when their families are away. When caring for pets in a client's home, I strive to maintain their normal routine and environment to reduce stress. I follow all feeding, medication, exercise, and care instructions carefully, while monitoring for any changes in behavior, appetite, or health. With 27 years of veterinary experience, I understand the importance of safety, attention to detail, and clear communication with pet owners.
“We are always happy with Dasha! She spends good quality time with our Noodle and makes him feel safe and comfortable while we're away. She is so reliable and responsive.”
“Robin is just amazing. I highly recommend her. You can tell from the first time you meet her that she loves all animals and will take really good care of them. Any time again. Thanks”
“Jordan was very attentive and showed real compassion for our pets. They really shined with the challenge that our four legged ones can present. Would recommend them to anyone.”
“Jordan was fantastic! All of our fur babies adored her! We have a shy juvenile cat that rarely takes to anyone and was very comfortable with Jordan! Jordan made sure each out our three girls were well taken care of and given individual playtime and snuggles. Jordan kept us updated and was easy to communicate with prior to and during our trip. We will definitely rebook Jordan for future travel plans!”
“Ethan was wonderful and very attentive to my cat’s needs. His communication was excellent from the start, and I felt completely at ease leaving my cat in his care. Would definitely book his services again!”
“Sarah stopped by to care for my kitty, feeding her a treat and giving her medicine while I was away. She was able to accomodate my request to enter my apartment unattended. I am highly impressed with her communicativeness, kindness, and reliability. Thank You Sarah!”

About: I grew up on a farm with 2 labs and have always had a special love for the canine friends. Since I’ve moved to the city I’ve missed my dogs and taking them on walks so I thought I’d sign up for this and meet some dog friends that need some company, I love all types of breeds and sizes. High energy dogs are not a problem for me at all, as I love going on runs with dogs and also playing at the park. I work a couple blocks away from where I live so it wouldn’t be a problem for me to watch your dogs while at work, since I could pop in to check on them and feed/let them use the bathroom. Thank you for looking, -Jacob I work flexible hours so I can work around any pet schedules I’m usually home till 12, and come back for lunch around 3 and then get off work usually 6-8pm but I set my own hours so it’s flexible for your dogs needs (: I have a house within walking distance to the park, I can take your dog on 2-3 walks per day and can also crate the dog if needed. I work close to home so I will always be 10-15 mins away and can pop in and check on the animals I set up to 3 times in a single workday before arriving home for the night. I have a little backyard area that is fenced off and also a park 4 blocks south of me, inside my apartment is all dog friendly and they are allowed on the furniture/beds
“Gypsie and Robby were great! My cat needed checked on once a day while I was on vacation. They were always on time, spent quality time with my kitty and sent multiple pictures!”
About: Big love for animals growing up with dogs and cats, I’m not in a position to have my own animal currently so that makes hangin with others that much more special! I am fairly flexible with my schedule, I am currently working full time but have open availability on weekends and am able to provide care before/ after work :) i live an active lifestyle and am keen to long walks and taking your pet out and about. I am able to accommodate to whatever is most comfortable for you and your routine.
About: I have taken care of dogs since I was a young child. I currently have a 7 year old chihuahua. My chihuahuas name is Toby and he is a rescue. If you would like more information about my dog, please ask. I also have a resuce cat named Clyde who is 1 years old, who stays outdoors most of the time. I have great experience with walking dogs. I have always grown up with smaller dogs, such as chihuahuas. I recently had an internship at the wildlife rehabilitation center, and that taught me how to care for animals. I will always provide my best attitude and give the animals the best experience while working with me. I am free 24/7 to care for animals. I can provide a separate room for those dogs who are shy, or not friendly. I have an unfenced yard, but can take them out on leashed, or I have a leash that can be staked into the ground that can be used. I am available 24/7 to care for the animals in my care. I currently watch dogs and cats full time, while working on other small businesses. I have an unfenced yard, but will walk them on leash outside if needed. I can also crate if needed, or required from owner. We also can take dogs to the lake stevens dog park, to get out their energy.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 1,771 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Index. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 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 cat, 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Index. On Rover:

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.
