“She was absolutely wonderful with Hagrid! He’s only 8 weeks old, and she was so sweet, patient, and attentive with him. She sent me lots of photos and videos throughout the visit, which made me feel so comfortable while I was at work. She played with him, fed him, took him out for potty breaks, and even noticed when he was about to have an accident and quickly took him to his potty area. 🥰 Hagrid seemed so happy and comfortable with her. I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her!”
“We had a wonderful meet and greet at the park! She was so kind, patient, and great with Alek. Alek was very comfortable with her right away, which made me feel so much better and gave me peace of mind about leaving him in her care. She was wonderful with him, and I can tell he will be in great hands. I’m very happy we found her! ❤️”
“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.”
“Very responsive, easy to communicate with, responsible, timely and friendly. He has a nice steady energy which is really responsive to a variety of dog personalities. Definitely makes things easier for me and my dogs! Would recommend and use again!”
“Morgan is a true cat whisperer! Our 19yo male cat is such a scaredy-cat I figured we wouldn’t get pictures of him all week. Wrong! Morgan was able to get pictures of him most days. And they were not just of his tail disappearing around the corner but of him relaxing in his favorite sleeping spots. Well done, Morgan!”
“Martina went above and beyond to take care of my dog while I was out of town for work. This included belly rubs, snuggles, play time, and walks. It really felt that Martina treated him as if he was her own. She stuck to the agreed schedule and made sure he was happy. If another opportunity presents itself, I will be reaching back out.”
“Xiaoxiao was fantastic! She was incredibly attentive and responsible with the drop-in visits. Her communication was excellent—she was proactive in keeping me updated and always replied quickly. She was so friendly to my cats, and I could tell that our cats really liked her too. I highly recommend her!”
About: I genuinely enjoy building relationships with your pets! I have experience interning at a veterinary pet hospital & I understand that every animal has unique needs, whether that’s helping a puppy learn routines, caring for senior dogs or simply making sure your pet feels comfortable and loved. I’m reliable and focused on keeping pets safe and active. I also make a point to provide regular updates and photos so owners can have peace of mind knowing their pets are in good hands. As a recent college graduate I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to pet care. Caring for pets fits easily into my daily routine. I enjoy staying active and spending time with animals, and I take pride in being reliable and making sure pets feel comfortable while their owners are away. I follow all instructions provided by the owner. In a client’s home, I treat the space with respect and provide regular updates and photos so owners can feel confident that their pets are happy and well cared for while they’re away.
“Kseniia was incredibly friendly, and my cats liked her right from our initial meet-and-greet! She was exceptionally detail-oriented, which gave me complete peace of mind while I was away on vacation. I highly recommend her and will definitely be booking her again in the future.”
“Mindy is great! They’ve taken care of our pups multiple times and we’ll keep booking so long as they’re available. Great and timely communication, wonderful care, cute pics of our pups.”
“Guanming and wife are great sitters! They are communitive and detail oriented. It was nice to travel knowing my cats were in good hands, and I got lots of good pictures. I would book again and highly recommend!”
About: Hi, I’m Lana! I’ve been taking care of dogs and cats over 10 years, and truly understand how much love and attention they need. I’m a reliable and caring person who treats every pet if they were my own. I share my home with my own dog, who is very sweet but also quite demanding- so I know firsthand how to handle different personalities and needs. Whether it’s walk, playtime, or quiet cuddles, I make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I work from home, which allows me to give pets plenty of attention throughout the day. I can take them out for walks several times a day, play with them, and make sure they’re comfortable and happy. I’m also available on weekends, so your pet will always have someone around to care for them. I live in a safe and pet-friendly apartment where all doors and windows are kept securely closed. There’s a fenced patio for fresh air and outdoor time in a controlled space. I also have a friendly dog who enjoys company, but I can easily keep pets separated if needed to make sure everyone feels comfortable and safe.
“Kathryn was prompt and did a great job watching our cat, keeping the cat’s areas clean and updating us after each visit. Our kitty obviously liked her. She also brought in packages while we were away which was very helpful. I would highly recommend Kathryn!”
About: I've had the privilege of owning two dogs - one was 19 years old and the other was 14 when our dogs passed away. I have really enjoyed looking after neighbors' and friends' dogs, whether it was boarding them or taking them for regular walks. I currently work full-time, but I am free every weekend and Monday mornings. Dogs are happiest with someone. If your pet loves to be walked and to have someone to interact with, then we will be very happy together. I believe exercise and attention are the key to a settled, healthy, pet. We live in a quiet neighborhood and our backyard is fenced on 3 sides. We have a sturdy stake with a chain for dogs who prefer to be left alone to get on with business. If possible, I like to combine pet potty time with a good long walk as it’s more enjoyable for everyone.
About: I have been doing personal pet care and pet-sitting since I got my rabbit 8 years ago. I am very familiar with small animals, cats and dogs! I took animal and vet science classes for 2 years. I am responsible and qualified in the care and needs of animals. I currently work in the morning, so I am available for lots of care throughout the day for your pets! I am free all day weekends, im always available for in-house overnight care. Weekdays im available before 8 am, and after 1 pm. I closely monitor pets for their safety and needs, and give them lots of snuggles and play! I like to make sure the space is clean of any messes, for mine and the pets wellbeing
About: I’ve dog, puppy sit and cat sit randomly for friends and neighbors in the past few years. I love taking care of pets! I learned a few tricks from my friends who are dog owners and cat owner. I am inspired to become a professional in pet care. I have flexible schedules to walk them after 4pm and care for them, preferably during the weekends. I do provide boarding service given early notice. I live at Issaquah Highlands, a very friendly and safe neighborhood. I can walk your dog 2-3 times daily during the weekend as needed. I live alone with no pets. I can pick up and drop off your pet at your convenience. I can even take them to the grooming store, dog parks, vets as needed.
About: Hi! I’m a reliable, active, and attentive dog lover based in the Seattle area. I grew up with dogs and cats, including a Saint Bernard and two boxers (not all at the same time!), so caring for animals has always been part of my life. We currently have a friendly rescue dog named Jensen, a lab/pit mix who absolutely loves playing with other dogs. We have a fully fenced yard and live in a quiet neighborhood that’s great for walks. I enjoy being active and spending time outside, so your dog will get plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship. I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, and I treat every dog like part of the family. You can also expect regular updates, photos, and clear communication while you’re away. Looking forward to meeting your pup! I work from home and have a flexible schedule, which allows me to spend a lot of time with the dogs in my care. Pets are rarely left alone for long periods, and I’m able to provide regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, supervision, and companionship throughout the day. We have a fully fenced yard and a quiet, dog-friendly neighborhood for walks. Dogs in our care are supervised closely and treated like part of the family. We follow each owner’s instructions carefully regarding feeding, routines, medications, crate use, and exercise needs. Our home is calm, safe, and well suited for dogs who enjoy companionship and attention.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Issaquah
Carolina is the best! Charlie absolutely loves her and goes nuts every time he sees her. He know they are going to have a good hike together. Plus, she’s super dependable and flexible. My husband was out of town and she was able to help me out with a last minute schedule add on. She’s 6/5 stars.
Sophia is so sweet and took such great care of our girl while we were gone! Drop in notes were detailed and even took extra time (over 30 minutes) to ensure our dog got a good walk and extra play time in. Thank you so so so much! Highly recommend and I know Pheebs will be excited to see you again! :)
Brooke was amazing. She went above and beyond for Crunchy. She even helped show my daughter tips and tricks on how to get my sweet picky boy to eat all of his food. We came home to a very happy boy and are very thankful for all of the time she spent with our boy.
My first time using rover app and got blessed with such an amazing, kind, responsible and caring individual! I don’t travel often but she made my anxiety go away instantly knowing I was leaving my 3 Dogs in her care. Next trip I will most definitely reach back out again to Samantha! 10/10 highly recommend. Thank you so much again for providing wonderful care of my babies <3

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.
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 Issaquah 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.

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 .
