“I seriously couldn't have asked for a better cat sitter. She played with her, gave her so much love and attention-to the point where my cat prefers to play with her-, stayed with her for many hours, and made sure she wasn't lonely while I was away. I was completely off grid for over a week but Jade still sent me updates and pictures and it was so obvious how much my cat loved her; she even allowed belly rubs and that’s rare! Honestly, I think my cat had more fun on her vacation than I did on mine. Coming home to a happy, relaxed cat instead of a stressed one meant everything to me. She went so far above and beyond what I expected, and it gave me complete peace of mind while I was traveling. I would trust her with my cat again in a heartbeat and couldn't recommend her more!”
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.
About: I've always loved being around animals and have lots of experience caring for pets of all ages and personalities, from playful puppies to senior pets who need extra love and patience. I currently work as a PA, so I'm comfortable with giving medications, sticking to routines, and noticing when something seems off. I'm also a cat dad to two kitties one senior kitty and one young kitty with the energy of a lion so I truly understand different needs, energy levels, and personalities. I treat every pet like my own and genuinely enjoy spending time with them, whether that's walks, playtime, or just keeping them company, and I'd love to take great care of your pets while you're away. Pet care fits naturally into my routine. I currently work part-time, which gives me plenty of flexibility to provide attentive care, check-ins, walks, and quality time throughout the day. I'm available on weekdays (especially afternoons and evenings) as well as weekends, and I'm happy to work around your pet's usual schedule to keep things consistent. I prioritize reliable timing, clear communication, and making sure each pet gets the attention they need rather than feeling rushed. I care for pets in a calm, safe, and familiar way, whether that’s in my home or in my client’s home. I follow all routines closely, including feeding schedules, medications, and any special instructions, to keep pets comfortable and stress-free. I’m very attentive to doors, windows, and household safety, and I always make sure pets are secure and supervised.
“Valentina watched my 2 cats on short notice and she took great care of them. She is reliable and responsible. She sent great notes about her visits and lots of pictures. I recommend her and would book her again!”
About: I have over 15 years of experience taking care of dogs at home, including the full puppy to elder stages of life. I also have more than four years of experience walking, dropping in on, and house-sitting for others and their dogs. I have experience caring for up to three dogs in the same household at one time, so taking care of or walking multiple dogs is not a problem. Additionally, I have volunteered at veterinary hospitals, so I am comfortable administering oral medications and am comfortable around dogs of all sizes. I’m currently in between jobs after moving back to the West Coast, so I have plenty of time to spend with your pets. I am mostly available in afternoons and evenings all days of the week. I have spent time living and training with very friendly dogs as well as reactive dogs. Your dog’s safety and comfort comes first! I have experience with crate training and administering oral medications.
About: I have cared for many animal breeds since childhood, worked at a vet clinic for many years, and currently owns a dog of my own. His name is Odin and he’s 11 years old, so I have high knowledge of senior care. I raised him from 6 weeks old so am averse to puppyhood as well. I’ve also owned pet rats, geckos, and ferrets, so my general knowledge of pet care across several species is high. As a registered nurse, I am fully capable and comfortable administering any medications or providing any other health-type services to assist with your pets comfort and overall health. :) I work three 12-hour shift every week, leaving me with 4 days off to be of service! I am available Tuesdays and Friday - Sunday every week (unless otherwise noted in my calendar). My dog has become quite cranky with other dogs in his old age, so I don’t watch dogs in my home. In your own home I will of course respect any rules or boundaries, and be as respectful as possible to your pets’ space/needs. I’m happy to throw a ball for an hour or take a walk or snuggle on the couch.
About: With 20+ years of hands-on experience living and caring for dogs and cats of different breeds, sizes, and temperaments, I offer a personalized approach to pet sitting that ensures your pet’s individual needs are met. I design activities that match your pet’s energy levels and preferences, so they will have nothing but great time during their pawcation with me.:) Your pet's safety, comfort and health are my top priorities, I follow all instructions carefully, whether it's feeding schedules, medication, or special care routines etc. I’m also attentive to their cleanliness, ensuring they stay fresh and well-groomed. I always provide a peaceful and secure environment as I believe this helps fur friends feel relaxed while their owner is away. I work from home most of time and usually be very flexible in the first half of the week, so I am able to go on walks with your pets no matter it is just around the neighborhood or easy/moderate hikes in the trails. If you’re looking for a reliable, experienced sitter who treats your pets like family, I’m here to give them all the love and attention they deserve! I work from home most of time and usually be very flexible in the afternoons and evenings, so I am able to go on walks with your pets no matter it is just around neighborhood or easy/moderate hikes in the trails (I raised pitbull lab mix myself so I am well skilled in observing the surroundings to prevent any unexpected things from happening). I prefer drop off and pick up times after 12pm but would be willing to work things out together in the hope to accommodate all parties! My place offers hardwood floor big space with a fenced yard and extra rooms (for separation if needed). I prepared beds, toys and treats and I will make sure your pet has access to clean water all the time! I will follow instructions provided by you ahead of booking, your pet stay will be filled with great balance of play, cuddle and relax!
“Nada took amazing care of our two kitties over the thanksgiving holiday. We loved receiving so many adorable photos of them and she really took the time to play with them and get to know them. She definitely knows how to provide the best kitty care and we will surely trust her again in the care of our cats.”
About: Pet sitting is my hobby. I love to take care of animals, so do my kids, especially my son. He loves dogs. We like to go to the park for walks and hikes. I’m available for walks, house visits, pet bathing/grooming, day and overnight sitting and as a taxi service. I will make sure your precious pet is comfortable, has everything and is safe. I usually allow dogs to act silly and do things they are not often allowed to do at home such as go on furniture, eat some organic allowed human food, run outside, chase and bark at squirrels, etc. Your pet will get a vacation while you are on vacation. We will give lots of attention and a little spoiling to your pet.
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.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was kid, from smaller to larger dogs. I’ve also been around cats all my life and know the proper care and attention all animals need. I’ve given them medicine, walks and lots of love. I also used to work at a pet store and am very knowledgeable about diet and the type of environment each animal needs. The responsibilities I can do are monitoring food and water levels, cleaning cat litter and dog potties, playtime & cuddles, and just looking after the overall health of animals. I work a full-time job and my schedule often changes, so my availability can vary from week to week. That being said, I’m happy to work with your schedule and accommodate your needs whenever possible! Feel free to reach out with the dates and times you’re looking for, and we can see if our schedules line up! I do not currently accept pets in my own home, but I’d be more than happy to go to yours and care for your pets and their needs. I care about the safety, comfort, and well-being of every pet in my care. I follow their routine as closely as possible including feeding schedules, exercise, playtime, and any special care instructions. I would also love to keep you updated with messages and photos while you’re away so you can have peace of mind.
About: I am an avid pet lover and caregiver with many different breeds of animals. I have an innate ability with animals who sense my compassionate nature for their well being. I am trustworthy, honest, seeking part time supplemental income. I have a friend who owns a Bernice Mountain Dog, who I have dog sat for many times as well as taken on long walks and fed. I also helped raise two female Alaskan Huskies from pups. I taught them basic obedience training (how to shake, sit and lay down). I am available to work anytime Monday-Friday and anytime on Saturday and Sunday. I can do overnight stays during both week nights and weekends. I’m currently unemployed, so I’ll have plenty of time to play with your pups! I’m available for boarding on weekdays and weekends and would love the opportunity to watch your pup. I will make sure to actively walk your dog, feed and play with them. If you have a fenced yard I will make sure your dog gets plenty of play time outside.

Elizabeth saved the day when I needed last minute pet care for my puppy! She was so good with my puppy Scout and took great care of her. Elizabeth also left detailed notes which I loved to read! It was like I was right there with them during the visit. Thank you Elizabeth!
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.

On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

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.
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. 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 .
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

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 , 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.
