“Another completely successful visit with Lindsay! Selfishly I hope she never moves - she makes me the most comfortable of anyone I’ve ever found on Rover and is so responsible and the most communicative. And most importantly, she takes the best care of my two kitties. I am so grateful I found her!!!”
“Briana was wonderful! She checked on our two cats twice a day for a week while we were out of town. She was very communicative throughout the booking process and during the check-ins. Our cats are very shy with new people and she took the time to slowly get to know them and give them attention on their own terms. By the end of the week, it seemed like they really warmed up to her! We wouldn’t hesitate to hire her again.”
“Skylar checked in on our pup while we were out of town. She was very candid about asking questions (i.e: it’s going to be snowing, should I close the doggy door? Etc...) which I really appreciated. We could tell our little girl was being well taken care of in our absence. We’d recommend her for sure!”
“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!”
“Mindy dropped in to care for our little pups. They were very flexible in doing a quick meet & greet, communicated great and our pups warmed right up to them! 5/5 - will be booking again!”
“Baylee is the best! When she first met Millie, Millie was scared and reactive and took several visits to warm up to her, but now, Millie is excited to see Baylee every week and gives her tons of sweet snuggles and kisses. Baylee always sends great updates and pictures and is very responsive to messages. We have appreciated her so much and plan to keep using her to help care for our sweet fur baby!”
“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 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.
“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!”
“Kseniia watched our three kitties while we were out of town for a couple of days, and we couldn’t have been happier with her care! She did a great job communicating with us each day, letting us know when she would be arriving and sending us photos and updates. It gave us great peace of mind knowing our kitties were well taken care of and having a great time with her. We also really appreciated that she lived close by, which gave us extra reassurance in case of any unexpected emergencies or if she was needed quickly. We’re grateful to Kseniia for taking such great care of our precious kitties while we were away. We would definitely use her again and highly recommend her!”
“Valentina was very nice with Toby. Toby took to her immediately. She was on time, sent me pictures and completed her responsibility promptly and sincerely. Toby was a happy boy, and I can see he misses her already.”
“I had a fantastic experience with Xiaoxiao! She took wonderful care of my three cats, making sure to follow all the feeding instructions exactly as I requested. I really appreciated her attention to detail and the updates she sent. The photos she took were adorable and really put my mind at ease while I was away. I could tell my cats were comfortable and happy in her care. Highly recommend and would definitely book again!”
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.
“Stellar service and care from Samantha!! My 2 cats were well taken care of, as though they were her own pets! She’s definitely a cat lover, and I look forward to having her care for my boys again!!”
“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! ?”

Patricia was very attentive to our kitties as always. Besides taking care of their needs, Patricia also went above and beyond to clean the area where they ate. She also took a lot of photos and we could tell that our kitties had a lot of fun during playtime. We always feel at ease during travel with our kitties in Patricia’s care.
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!
We are so grateful we chose Anna to care for our cats while we were out of the country for two weeks this October. She came highly recommended by another Rover user and early on we could see why. Anna is an excellent communicator and takes the time to get to know your cats and understand their unique personalities and care/social needs. We felt confident we chose the right person right off the bat. From start to finish Anna provided exceptional care for our three cats. We received regular and timely drop in progress reports and photos of our kitties at play after each visit. It was clear our cats not only trusted her but quickly grew fond of her and looked forward to her visits. We You can’t go wrong by choosing Anna to care for your furry friends. We will definitely be booking with Anna for all our cat care needs in the future!
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!
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!
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!
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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Issaquah is $27 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $18 and $39 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 October 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 .
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.
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 .
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.
