“Shannon is reliable and has great communication. So thankful she was able to look after our cat while we were away - it’s clear he adores her just from the photos.”
About: I grew up with cats and dogs and love nothing more than to give fur babies my undivided attention! Since moving to Washington 5 years ago, I’ve been caring for friends/neighbors' pets, taking them on walks, feeding them, playing, and watching them while they are out of town. I just adopted my own mixed pup from Seattle Humane in April; let me spoil your sweet kitties and pups! I can work from home most days, and set my own schedule for the most part, so I am able to take short breaks to take pets on walks or work from another home to make sure the pup or kitty isn't alone for extended periods of time. I imagine pet care fitting easily into the days I work from home. I don't currently have any pets in my home. When it comes to pet sitting, I always make sure to open the door slowly if the pet is loose in the house. I let the pet sniff my hand before attempting to touch them, and give them space if they don't seem to want to interact with me. When it comes to walking, I don't walk with headphones in to make sure I can hear what else is going on nearby. I wouldn't take them near spaces where I know there are likely to be other dogs unless that is requested.
“Alyssa was absolutely wonderful!! She was incredibly helpful and definitely went above and beyond! I hope she’ll be available for all my out of town trips! ☺️ Highly recommend her services!”
“Kaitlyn is awesome! We used Rover for the first time and found Kaitlyn. She’s prompt and professional. Took amazing care of our kitties and kept our house tidy. I’d HIGHLY recommend her to anyone needing a sitter. She was beyond expectation and we will gladly hire her again.”
About: I have many years of experience caring for animals. My own dogs are very old and no longer enjoy walks so I started walking dogs in my neighborhood. I have a knack for calming reactionary dogs and nervous walkers. I enjoy every animal, especially the challenging ones. Pet sitting, playing with dogs, taking walks, what could be better than that? It truly is a passion. I am a retired Mother of 3 whose children are all grown up. Aside from helping my elderly Mother and walking my neighbor's dog my schedule is wide open. I can provide pet sitting in your home including overnights. Don't let my age fool you! I am high energy and walk many miles a day. 10 years ago I hired a family member to stay with my pets for 2 weeks. It was the first time I trusted someone to watch my animals. The first time I had been away from my dog. I couldn't get a hold of her so I sent someone over to check on them on the 3rd day. There was a gigantic pile of dog food on the floor and feces and urine everywhere. My poor dog was entirely alone and one of my cats was missing. I was devastated when we came home to discover my cat had passed away from being locked in a hot garage. that was the last time we took a vacation without our pets along. All this to say I know how important it is to have trustworthy pet care and I pride myself on providing it. I also recognize the importance of communication between client and provider.
“Zeryab was amazing with both my cats. She even took the time to make a bonus trip to check in my older cat. She communicated with pics and videos and allowed my now wife and I to enjoy our wedding day w/o needing to worry about the cats.”
About: I have experience with pup's big and small! Whether it's walking my girlfriend's reactive 80lb Pitbull, or making sure my 10lb cat is spoiled rotten, I have a lifetime of experience taking care of animals! I'll make sure your pup is the star of the show during our time together, sniff walks, enrichment or a leisurely stroll for an elderly friend, it's all in my wheelhouse! I have summer off from school so my days are wide open so I can make your pup my number one priority! Once I am back to school in September I will still be able to make time for your pup between homework and classes as I'm a full-time student which gives plenty of free time (don't tell my professors!) I have experience with aggressive and reactive dogs, so I am observant and ready to be a step ahead of any kind of trouble! I treat your pet like my own so safety is always my number one priority at all times, whether we are walking and move to the other side of the street if an unknown dog is approaching, or on high alert for E-bikes zooming down the path, your pet is always safe with me!
About: I have taken care of dogs of all sizes, from smaller, Formosan mountain dog mixes and Pomeranians, to large American bully/pitbull mixes. I have also taken care of dogs of all ages, from golden retriever puppies to senior dogs with medication needs. While I'm taking care of your best friend, they will have their unique needs met and their need for companionship fulfilled until your return. I'm currently in-between jobs, so I have plenty of time to take care of your pets. Overnight care, odd hours, and long walks are all in the scope of my care. I bring a slow, trusting approach to working with your pet. As I work with your pet to address their needs, we'll learn each others tendencies and become more and more comfortable with each other, helping them feel safe and comfortable throughout my stint.
About: I’ve been around cats my entire life and have always had a passion for caring for them. I currently have two cats of my own, and I’ve spent years rescuing and helping cats in need. I understand that every pet has a unique personality, and I provide patient, loving care so they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I enjoy spending time with animals, and I make sure to set aside dedicated time for feeding, playtime, cleaning, and giving pets the attention and affection they need. Since I have two cats of my own, caring for pets is already a regular part of my life, and I would love to include caring for your pets in my weekly routine as well. I care for pets in my clients’ homes by keeping their routine as consistent and comfortable as possible. I follow their feeding schedules, litter box or cleanup routines, medication instructions, and any special care preferences. I focus on creating a calm, safe environment while giving pets plenty of attention, playtime, and affection. I treat every home and pet with the same respect and care I would want for my own.
“Catie did an amazing job taking care of my cat Kitty while I was out of town for a week. She was reliable, attentive, and very caring throughout the entire week. She followed instructions closely, never missed a scheduled visit, and always provided detailed updates and pictures. She also went above and beyond to ensure Kitty stayed in a comfortable environment. It was reassuring knowing Kitty was in good hands while I was away. I would definitely recommend Catie to anyone looking for a responsible and trustworthy pet sitter!”
“Did a great job hanging out with our cat. He isn't the most social boy, but immediately took to loving on both of them. They did a great job watching over him and communicating.”
About: I have worked with both baby and senior animals so I know the ways of navigating not only their needs but personalities. I own a cat but he enjoys being in the room so your pet will get the whole living room to explore and relax in. I live on the bottom floor so if your pet has trouble going up and down stairs that should be no problem I am a barista so I work at 4-11AM and my significant other works at 7AM so if their staying over night they would only be alone for 4 hours but I’m available everyday after 11am 4 days a week I’m also willing to compromise and change my work hours I’m very good at following directions so whatever you need me to do for your pet I will do my very best to make sure all needs and wants are met will also give lots of updates and photos if requested
“Janee took care of my three babies very well. It was a bit rocky at first because im very new to rover and the app kept glitching but not her fault. Anyways I have a new kitten and he warmed up to her right away. My other cat also eventually warmed up to her and were comfortable. Thank you for keeping my babies company!! (: I recommend her!”
“Melanie is GREAT! We will definitely request her again if we need help with our pup. She was extremely responsive and flexible with our plans/needs. You and your fur baby will be very happy with Melanie!!”
“Abigail is the BEST! She took amazing care of my cat, Oliver, while I was away. Her loving attention and thoughtful care went above and beyond. I especially appreciated her detailed (and hilarious) updates as they gave me much needed peace of mind while I was gone. It means the world to know that Oliver is not only safe, but also loved and understood, especially since he’s such a shy boy. She was reliable, warm, and completely understanding of his needs. I’m so grateful to have found her, and I’ll definitely be rebooking with her for my next trip.”
About: - Lifelong pet owner with 20 years of experience in animal care. - Licensed animal massage therapist. - Experienced in providing in-home drop-ins, dog walking, and administering medication. - Highly reliable and trustworthy, with a genuine love for animals. - Experienced in providing care for all types of dogs, both small and large, young and old. - Self-employed with flexible schedule. I am fully self-employed so my schedule is flexible for most situations. I can drop in to care for (or walk) your pet while you are at work or away for extended periods of time. I always send daily photos to show they are being loved while you are gone! No one knows your pet better than you, so I always make sure I pay attention and heed the advice and instructions of the owner about how their pet likes to be treated. Some dogs love to be played with and perform tricks to get treats, while other dogs are nervous or in the process of learning not to jump on people when they first walk in. Likewise, cats have very different personalities and must be treated as indiviuals. Some cats run to the door like a dog to be greeted and picked up, while others would prefer to be left alone since you are not their human (though I usually win them over quickly!).
About: I am a dog trainer and work at a dog daycare! I know quite a bit about dog body language and I am good at helping pups feel comfortable and safe. If interested, I can also help with training during walks! I am most available in the mornings and evenings. I would love to try to work with you to schedule times that best meet your needs! Overall i have decently open availability. I am very comfortable handling all different temperaments in dogs (calm, reactive, energetic, etc), and am comfortable with doing things like giving medication if needed, putting dogs in their crates, walking them… really whatever is needed I’m willing to do!

Sam was fantastic with our kitty! She followed all of our instructions and our kitty clearly loved all the attention she gave him. She was flexible when our schedule changed last minute and really helped us out in a pinch. We’re already looking forward to her next stay with him!
Emily is amazing!! She took excellent care of my 3 kitties again. I really appreciate her notes on each visit - the details make me feel like I'm there with them 😍 She even got my very shy cat out of hiding, and purring with pets 😍 My cats were very well taken care of and happy when I got back! I will definitely book her again and highly recommend her!
Amy was the most amazing cat sitter! She did an outstanding job taking care of our two kitties while we were out of town for 10 days. I was so impressed by her attention to detail and the amount of effort she put into taking care of our cats. Our cats are extremely shy, but Amy was able to earn their trust and get them to come out of hiding! I highly recommend Amy, and I will definitely be using her to look after our cats again in the future!
Kyra continues to be a reliable and compassionate provider for us. She goes well above and beyond often without me even asking. She is flexible and understanding. She sends notes and lots of pictures. I feel like she truly cares about our kitties. She has cared for our kitties multiple times and she is always my first choice. Highly recommend.
Elaina is the absolute best, and we feel so lucky to have found her! Our cat takes a little time to warm up to new people, and Elaina has been so patient, gentle, and kind with her. We love seeing their relationship grow and watching the trust (and pets!) build each time. We always feel completely at ease knowing our girl is in such good hands, and her updates and photos while we’re away are the best. We truly can’t recommend Elaina enough!
Chloe is an outstanding pet sitter! She took care of my 18 year old cat for 2 weeks when I was away. She was completely reliable, visiting twice a day (I got notifications and photos). She played with my kitty and faithfully gave her medicine. It’s so reassuring to know that while I’m gone, my cat is well fed and well cared for.
Ricardo was very patient, thorough, responsive and nice. He did everything we asked for perfectly. My cat’s very shy, and I appreciate how respectful of her space he was while still taking care of her. I recommend working with him, I know I’d definitely book him again.

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
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.
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 .
