“Autumn did a wonderful job of taking care of Pumpkin our 18 year old orange tabby. We really appreciated the pictures she sent everyday and time she spent with Pumpkin.”
“We have tried out quite a few different sitter options for our cats and Briana has by far been the best. She was timely, great at communicating, and I never once had to worry about our cats while we were gone. We will definitely be returning customers.”
“Lindsay takes good care of our cat while we’re away for long. She shows care and patience to our cat and build trust. She also helped take care when our cat had to use carpet when litterrobot failed.”
“Pam did an amazing job taking care of our two elderly dogs! She stopped by right at 6:30am each day and always left detailed visit notes and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. She was reliable, caring, and very attentive to their needs. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter! Thank you for waking up so early for Summer and Emmi!”
“Jue took amazing care of our cats while we were away. Communication was quick and consistent, and we loved getting thoughtful updates plus pictures and videos. Best of all, we came home to calm, happy cats — always the best sign. Highly recommend and we’ll absolutely use her again.”
“Alyssa was a wonderful sitter for my cat John Cougar. She provided timely and entertaining updates about her drop-in visits, complete with detailed information and excellent photos. I felt assured that my little guy was getting excellent attention and care while I was away. I hope I can use Alyssa's services again in the future for my extended travel days.”
About: I’ve grown up with large dogs my entire life, but I took the initiative to join the pet care industry and honestly found large chain dog care to be lacking. Let’s get our pets outdoors in nature every opportunity possible! I really believe in the Japanese tenet of “forest bathing” for my own health and your furry best friend. I’m currently in the process of opening an aquaponics garden and micro-plant orchard with species ranging from fig, cherry, and pomegranate to lots of vegetables, and thus my availability is quite open this time of the year. I have a fenced yard and our housing situation has been cleaned of any dog stressors or dangers since we got our young pup Anakin about a year and a half ago.
“Janine did a fantastic job caring for Wally while we were traveling! She was incredibly attentive, communicative, and patient throughout the entire process. Wally can be a little cautious and takes time to build trust with new people, and Janine was so understanding and willing to work with him at his own pace. Her patience, kindness, and dedication gave us so much peace of mind knowing he was in great hands. We truly appreciate the care and effort she put into making Wally feel comfortable and safe. Janine is wonderful, and we will absolutely continue using her services. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy sitter!”
“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.”
About: I’ve been caring for pets both personally and through friends for over 7 years. I’m a dedicated cat mom to two cats of my own, so I understand feline behavior, routines, and how important patience and trust are when caring for cats. I’m very comfortable with feeding schedules, litter box care, playtime, and giving lots of affection (on your cat’s terms!). In addition to caring for my own cats, I’ve also provided boarding and in-home care for my friends’ dogs for many years. I have experience with daily walks, feeding, playtime, and making sure dogs feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. Whether your pet is energetic or shy, I always take time to understand their personality and routines. I treat every pet as if they were my own and always make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. I’m happy to send regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is in good hands. I work full-time with flexible hours, so I’m available for drop-in visits after 5 PM on weekdays and have flexible availability on weekends. I’m happy to accommodate evening visits and can be flexible with timing on Saturdays and Sundays based on your pet’s needs. When I visit pets in their own home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. For each drop-in, I make sure your pet is fed on schedule, has fresh water, and gets plenty of attention and care. I clean litter boxes, refresh food and water bowls. For cats, I move at their pace — giving them space when needed and affection when they want it. I spend time playing, brushing (if they enjoy it), and making sure they feel comfortable and calm. For dogs, I provide potty breaks, short walks (if requested), feeding, and playtime to help keep them happy and relaxed. I always take a few minutes to check each pet’s overall well-being and will let you know if I notice anything unusual. I also send photo updates and messages so you can feel confident your pet is being well cared for while you’re away. My goal is to treat every pet like my own and make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable in your absence.
“Mindy has watched our dogs a few times now and has always been on time, caring and following our instructions. She got along with our dogs immediately and I would never hesitate to recommend Mindy to others.”
“Ardelle came to our place to do a meet & greet with our dog. Our very anxious Bear warmed up to her instantly! As we talked through all of our dog's needs, Ardelle was very friendly, receptive, and knowledgeable. She has a lot of working dog experience and it shows! That put me at ease really quickly and I'm confident that our dog will be safe & happy in her hands. Thank you, Ardelle!”

Patricia is absolutely wonderful, and I cannot recommend her enough! She and Leo take amazing care of my kitty every single time. He is really comfortable around them, to the point where he happily stretches out and exposes his belly, which says everything about how safe and relaxed he feels with them. Patricia is extremely reliable, thoughtful, and caring. I trust her completely with Michie and our home, and I never have to worry when we’re away because I know he is getting plenty of attention, love, playtime, and brushing. We are always very grateful for Patricia and Leo and feel very lucky to have them taking care of Michie. Highly, highly recommend! ❤️
I’m a repeat customer of Julie. She’s fantastic with my cats, communicates well, and is reliable. This time one of my cats was ill and Julie was able to administer his medicine, even though he’s a very squirmy guy! My other cat, Houdini, loves getting her cuddles when she visits.
Amy is a great pet sitter and a real animal lover :) one of my cats has behavioral issues and one of them is older and Amy gives them patience and lots of playtime. I can tell from the photos of them that the cats are having fun during the visits. She notified me of any behavioral problems (spraying) so I am not surprised when I come home and kept the litter boxes clean including refilling the litter robot. I recommend Amy highly!
Guoyi took the best care of my cat Scarlett. Guoyi was reliable, timely, provided great communication, and sent me frequent updates with pictures of Scarlett. I felt so comfortable leaving my cat because I knew she would be checked on regularly. Guoyi made the experience very smooth and carefree.

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Issaquah on Rover is $26.64 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 12,426 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Issaquah. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Issaquah stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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 with handling special pet needs in Issaquah. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% can help with daily exercise
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
