“Lindsay was wonderful with Winston. This was his first time being alone for a length of time. She was patient with him. By the second visit he was likely looking forward to visits for more than just the food. Lol. I got plenty of pics which eased my mind and brought a smile to my face. ☆☆☆☆☆”
“My cat is often unsure of strangers but was immediately comfortable with Autumn. Autumn shared photos from her visit showing my cat allowing herself to be brushed and even snuggling with Autumn on the couch, levels of trust few visitors to my home receive. Thank you for taking such good care of her!”
“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!”
“Mark was fabulous with our rambunctious teenage newf and great about keeping in touch with an anxious dog mom. Hagrid was happy to have us home but not upset we had been gone for several days. Thanks Mark!”
“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!”
About: Hi my name is Alexa and I've been taking care of dogs for about 7 years! I currently have a 5 year old brown lab named Forest. I'm a great communicator and follow directions very well. I'm also an active person, so I'm able to take your dog for a run or hike if wanted. I live at my family home with an unfenced back yard but have long leashes I can attach your pup to if needed. I'm currently unemployed so your dog will be my top priority. I'm hoping to make dog/house sitting my main employment. I also take care of my own dog daily, sharing responsibility with my mom. Your dog will be taken care of as if they are my own pet! I currently have a brown lab at my family home and he is very well taken care of. Daily walks and/or dog parks, hiking, running- all depending on the needs of your dog.
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.
“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.”
“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: Have always had and taken care of dogs. I am very good with dogs of all types and sizes. My days are wide open as I've recently lost my corporate job. I'm always out walking and abouts, and I will love to walk your dogs! I am currently unemployed, so I have a wide open schedule. I wake up pretty early in the days, so I can accommodate for dogs who need early morning walks or care. I will care for your pets in your home like they were my own pets, in my own home. I follow all provided instructions. I'm a critical thinker, and I can make decisions best suited for your pets if any situation ever arises. I am punctual, honest, and you will always know how the visit goes with your animals.
“Jackie was the best! I was in need of a pet sitter on short notice for a 15 day trip to Europe - and Jackie was there for us. She did a fantastic job of caring for our fur babies - a 5 year old border collie mix and her two 14 year old cat roommates, one of which required daily oral medication. Jackie handled this expertly and with enthusiasm. She was so easy to meet and talk to, kept us up-to-date with pics and messages during our time away, and offered an extremely competitive price. I can't wait to work with Jackie again the next time we leave town. -THANK YOU JACKIE!!!!”
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.
About: I’ve been a babysitter and dog / cat sitter for as long as I can remember. I have really strong references for all. I’m used to palm sized dogs up to great danes! No dog too big or small :) I’m typically based in Paris, France, but am in Seattle awaiting my next visa. And in the meantime , i’m doing my 200hr yoga teacher certification that is 9a-4p on the weekends , so I’m very open Mon-Fri and can be flexible on the weekends. I have no pets at my house, but it’s very pet friendly as we used to have a dog and my sister brings her dog over occasionally. We have a fenced in yard and live by a lake for long walks.
“Jue was amazing with our cats, Coco and April! She sent detailed updates with photos and videos every day, kept them well-fed, and spent plenty of time playing with them. We came home to two very happy and relaxed kitties. Highly recommend Jue — we’ll definitely book her again!”

Autumn cared for my two cats on a drop-in basis for 2.5 weeks. She was thorough, caring and observant. She noted that one cat was limping and not acting like herself. Autumn notified me and handled taking the cat to the vet and returning her to my house. Autumn was very capable! I was very happy with her care of my cats.
Lindsay was incredible! I am very picky about who watches my pets, and since this was their first time with a professional pet sitter, I was a bit nervous. Lindsay completely put my mind at ease with regular photo updates throughout the trip. She took wonderful care of them, and it was so comforting to see them feeling relaxed and comfortable around her. I will definitely be rebooking with Lindsay for future trips!
Briana took great care of Chichi! He was a little shy at first, but he quickly warmed up to her and felt comfortable playing with her. I’m so happy to see that he wasn’t afraid and enjoyed spending time with her. I highly recommend Briana and would definitely book her again!
We’ve been booking Patricia for years, and she is truly the best! ❤️ This time she took care of Michie for two full weeks while we were in Europe, and we couldn’t have asked for anyone better. Michie is a very shy and skittish kitty, but he was so relaxed and comfortable with her, which gave us such peace of mind while we were away. Patricia went above and beyond, despite dealing with an eye injury herself! From all the love and attention she gave Michie to the thoughtful updates and extra help around the house, we appreciated every bit of it. We’re so lucky to have her and can’t recommend her enough!
We had a great experience with Kim! Communication was excellent, and we really appreciated the thoughtful updates, along with all the lovely high-quality photos and videos. It gave us peace of mind knowing our pets were well cared for. Would definitely recommend!
My cats and home were incredibly well taken care of by Gigi! We met a while before my trip and she double checked on a few details via text after arriving, which I appreciated over just guessing. She sent lots of photos and details about their food consumption and how they were warming up to her, which I loved having noted, so I don’t have to ask for all the details or be anxious about how they’re doing. Loved seeing that they warmed up to her quickly, as also seen in photos. She is great and I will book with her again for cat care!
Once again, Alyssa took great care of my cat John Cougar. I could tell from her regular photo updates that he enjoyed her company, particularly in how she gave him the perfect mix of playtime and petting breaks. I was very grateful that Alyssa was able to help me with this booking on short notice due to a family emergency that had me traveling to the east coast. She has the utmost professionalism and reassurance in her correspondence, and will always be on my short list when I need a sitter for my extended travel days.
Guoyi was an absolutely wonderful cat sitter! She took excellent care of our cat while we were traveling — always on time, and attentive with feeding. She sent photos to update us, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Our cat was happy and well cared for the whole time. We'll definitely be booking Guoyi again — highly recommended!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Issaquah is $28 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $41 per visit. 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. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 12,200 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Issaquah. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 with handling special pet needs in Issaquah. On Rover:
- 86% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 91% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 93% 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 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.
