About: I have two big dogs of my own so I have plenty of experience with larger breeds. I’ve had puppies and kittens and grew up with lots of pets! I also cat sit and dog sit on occasion for my family! I work Part-time so I have plenty of time to care for your animals. I walk my own animals daily in addition to go to the gym. Stamina won’t be a problem no matter the energy level of your pet. I have two large dogs who run around constantly, I’m very good with clear commands and communication with them. I also take care of my families cats who can be temperamental which taught me a lot of patience when caring for animals as well.
About: I have grown up with animals my entire life. Mostly dogs but I have also had cats, guinea pigs, fish, rabbits, and various other small animals. I currently have two wonderful and very active dogs. River is female Catahoula mix with nonstop energy and Atlas is a male Cane Corso mix that steals the heart of anyone he comes in contact with. In addition to taking care of my personal pets I have cared for the pets of friends, family, and neighbors ever since I was young. I have experience with dogs and cats of all sizes and all stages of life from puppy/kitten to senior! I am a stay at home mom. I am married with 2 wonderful kids ages 10 and 7. I have an active household who love sports and the outdoors. I feel blessed to be a stay at home mom as it gives me the flexibility to be home to spend time with my children and fur babies. I have a fully fenced yard and my two dogs love to play ball or just lounge in the sun. I also love to go to the dog park and let my dogs run and socialize. I keep a pretty active lifestyle and my dogs go for a run several times a week and they love hikes when schedules allow!
About: I’ve taken care of animals for the past 10-12 years of my life, I’ve owned and cared for aggressive, shy, large animals. I walk shelter dogs for RASKC on a regular basis and even do animal transport. I grew up on a large property taking care of all my grandmas puppies and kitties during the summer, and those dogs ranged from senior small dogs, to large young dogs. I’ve also taken care of plenty of cats, stray and housed in my times. I like helping animals as it brings me a sense of satisfaction knowing I made a animals life a little easier and comfortable, there’s always room for them in my world. I would prefer to drop in but boarding is an option, I just require an advanced notice as I have a full time job. Drop in I’m available to do most time depending on frequency needed Your pet will be spoiled, with treats (according to diet requirements) attention, and if they’re accepting of other animals, plenty of time to spend with a couple of friends!
“John was fantastic with our Husky Bo. He kept me informed about everything that Bo was doing, and sent pictures and video. Bo was always happy to see John, and appeared to be having a great time on his walks. I would definitely recommend John, and I plan on requesting him to watch Bo again.”

“Jennifer is great. We have 2 younger little cats that right now do not get along very well but she treated them so nice and the pictures she sent along with the updates was so reassuring to see that she treats our cats like they are her own. Jennifer is wonderful”

About: I’ve spent years caring for pets of all shapes and sizes, and I treat every furry friend like family. From energetic walks and playful adventures to cozy cuddle sessions, I make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I follow all instructions carefully and love creating a stress-free, fun experience for every tail that wags my way! I currently work full-time, so I’m available for pet care on weekdays after 6 PM. On weekends, I have full availability and can provide care while owners are away, ensuring your pets receive consistent attention, love, and care. My community offers a dog potty area and nearby park. My cat Chrome is social, and I can provide grooming, walks, and loving care for pets.
About: I have extensive experience watching friends, families and neighbors pets my entire life. I absolutely love dogs, have no issues cleaning litter boxes and feel comfortable and safe around most animals in general. I don’t mind driving and I also have experience house and plant sitting for folks. I’m a licensed social worker and work both remotely and in the field. I have time and energy to help look after pets to put their owners at ease when they are away. I will follow all rules and expectations to assure your pet and home are cared for when I am visiting. I have no problem sending photos, videos or other updates to communicate and put you at ease your pet is cared for.
About: I have had pets my whole life, including large dogs and cats, and caring for animals has always been a meaningful part of my life. I have raised puppies, worked on basic training and routines, and cared for elderly pets who needed extra patience, comfort, medication awareness, and attention to changes in behavior or mobility. What sets me apart is that I understand pets have their own personalities, needs, and comfort levels. I will take the time to follow your instructions, keep your pet’s routine consistent, and make sure they feel safe, loved, and cared for while you are away. I do not currently have a pet of my own, so I would truly love the opportunity to spend time with and care for other people’s fur babies. I work from home as a consultant and set my own schedule. My availability is very flexible as I can schedule meetings and onsite work around your needs. When caring for pets in your home, my goal is to keep their routine as familiar and comfortable as possible. I will follow your instructions closely for feeding, walks, medications, playtime, bedtime routines, and any household expectations. I understand that being away from their people can be stressful for some pets, so I will take a calm, patient approach and let them adjust to me at their own pace. I will give them attention, affection, and reassurance while also respecting their personality, boundaries, and normal routine. I will also treat your home with care and respect. I will keep pet areas clean, make sure food and water are refreshed, clean up after your pets, and keep you updated so you know how they are doing while you are away.
About: I’ve spent more than 20 years caring for animals, and being around pets has always been a natural part of my life. I’ve owned dogs for most of my life, and when I didn’t have one of my own, I was the person friends, family, and neighbors relied on to care for theirs. My experience includes caring for both large and small dog breeds, each with their own personalities, energy levels, and needs. I’ve also cared for rabbits and horses and spent several summers on a farm, giving me hands-on experience with a variety of animals and teaching me the importance of patience, consistency, and responsible care. In addition, my brother is a professional dog trainer, which has given me valuable insight into dog behavior, communication, and positive handling techniques. While I’m not a certified trainer, I’ve learned practical skills that help me understand dogs and create a calm, safe environment for them. I offer boarding, drop-in visits, dog walking, and house sitting. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, belly rubs, or simply sticking to their daily routine, I’ll make sure they receive personalized care, plenty of attention, and lots of love while you’re away. I understand that leaving your pet with someone else takes trust. My goal is to treat every animal like they’re part of my own family, so you can feel confident knowing they’re in caring, dependable hands. Pet care fits easily into my routine, and I genuinely enjoy making time for it. I’m currently pretty flexible, and starting in September, I’ll mainly be available afternoons, evenings, and weekends. My schedule can vary from time to time, but I’ll always keep my availability updated and make sure every pet gets the time, attention, and care they need. I try to make every pet feel as comfortable as possible by sticking to the routine they’re used to. Every dog is different, so I always ask about their schedule, personality, and any special instructions before I start caring for them. If I’m working that day, I always make sure we get a good walk in before I leave. It’s a great way for them to use the bathroom, burn off some energy, and start the day on a positive note. I usually aim for at least a 30-minute walk. When I get home, we head back outside for another potty break and walk. Depending on your dog’s age, energy level, and what they enjoy, our walk might be 30 minutes or it could turn into a longer walk around the neighborhood. Before bed, I always take them out one last time so they’re comfortable for the night. I follow whatever feeding schedule you already have in place, whether that’s in the morning, afternoon, or evening. I know pets thrive on routine, so I do my best to keep things as normal as possible while you’re away. Most importantly, I treat every pet like they’re my own. They’ll get plenty of attention, playtime, affection, fresh water, and lots of love. My goal is for your pet to feel safe, happy, and cared for—and for you to feel completely at ease knowing they’re in good hands.
About: I’ve raised Guide Dog puppies both here and in Las Vegas. Raising a Guide Dog puppy is a 24 hour job with daily training/teaching regiments. We teach them basic commands and expose them to the public and public places. It was great fun and very rewarding. I’m am retired. So I have plenty of time to give to your fur baby. As well as, all the attention he or she needs. In a clients home, the safety of the pet comes first. If that means there is a fenced yard or they need to be taken out on a leash every hour then that is what will get done.
“Meghan was the very greatest dog-sitter during our recent vacation out-of-state. We live in California, but were going to be in Seattle, WA, over the 4th of July holiday for a multi-day bicycle rally with our travel trailer and two dogs. I contacted Meghan about our plans two months ahead of time and she was happy to arrange to come to our trailer each day, walk our dogs, give them a snack, and put them back in. We ended up being gone during the day longer than expected so Meghan was even willing to drop in a second time for a quick "pee break" for the dogs. She sent nice photos and updates, walked and gave them a snack, and gave us incredible peace of mind knowing that they were safe and sound while we were out riding far from where our trailer was parked (with others). If ever we make it back to Seattle, we will most certainly call on Meghan again and we can't recommend her highly enough if you're looking for a responsible person to watch your pet!”

“We booked Raeven for almost 2 weeks to come drop in 2x/day and take care of our cat while we were out of town, she did such a great job with our shy kitty that is codependent. We’ll definitely book her again - thank you so much Raeven!!”

About: I’ve always loved animals and have experience caring for both dogs and cats. I currently have two Toy Poodles and a cat of my own, and I also pet sit for my sister’s Corgi and Ragdoll cat. I’ve also had experience caring for a senior Pomeranian, which taught me the importance of being patient, gentle, and attentive to a pet’s individual needs. Because I have pets of my own, I understand how important it is to have someone you can trust to care for your furry family members. I’m comfortable following their routines, including feeding, walks, playtime, cuddles, and any special instructions. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away! Pet care fits well into my schedule because I have flexibility throughout the week and can work around your pet’s routine and needs. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting, and I’m happy to coordinate around your preferred schedule. I understand that every pet has their own routine, so I’ll do my best to provide consistent care and make sure they get the attention, exercise, and companionship they need while you’re away. Safety and trust are very important to me when caring for someone’s pet. I treat every pet and home with the same care and respect I would want for my own. Before a booking, I like to learn about your pet’s routine, personality, feeding schedule, and any special instructions or needs. During visits, I make sure doors and gates are secure, pets are supervised, and their environment stays clean and comfortable. I’m also happy to send updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. Whether I’m caring for your pet in your home or taking them out for walks, my goal is to provide a calm, safe, and loving environment where they feel comfortable and cared for.
“Morgan did a great job filling in last minute for us! We will definitely consider her again for future dates. She was communicative and thorough throughout her time here. Kaya definitely appreciated the company.”

“Lora is very patient with animals, thorough with directions, and easy to communicate with. We had never used a stranger as a sitter for our beloved animals before, and we found a keeper. Coming home to happy and healthy animals made our trip even better. She kept us in the loop while we were gone, and made sure to treat taking care of them seriously. Thank you Lora. We'll definitely recommend you and book with you for our future needs.”
“Shannon is great and we would definitely use her again! She checked in on our pup without even meeting him first, and also accepted our last injure request. She sent us detailed updates and great photos during her drop in. Our pup looked like he was well cared for and loving her! Thanks again.”

Shelby was an excellent pet sitter! She was very communicative throughout the entire time, keeping me updated and giving me peace of mind while I was away. I really appreciated how attentive and reliable she was, and it was clear my pet was well cared for. I would absolutely recommend Shelby to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and thoughtful to look after their pets.

Can’t recommend Melia enough to take care of your pets while you’re away. throughout my trip i was given plenty of updates on the wellbeing of my pets which i do consider my children. I was able to rest easy knowing they were in good hands. I look forward to booking Melia again on my next trip. 🩵🐶🐱

My dog, Chica, loves Jamal! Since Jamal has started visiting with Chica, she has been more relaxed and calm when I get home from work. Jamal is more than accommodating to schedules, mishaps, and anything that comes up. I’m so glad Chica has Jamal in her life, thanks so much man!

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 Kent 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.

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 .
