Casey is so reliable and I just really enjoy working with her. My dog Freddy absolutely loves her. Best dog walker we've ever had by far and I hope to work with her long term.

About: I’ve had cats since I was a baby, and I was tasked with feeding them and cleaning their litter once I was old enough, and I have a few tricks up my sleeve regarding their medication. I’ve been around a variety of pets my whole life, so I’m very adaptable. I’m also welcoming of any special needs pets, seniors or otherwise! If they’re blind, deaf, paralyzed, can’t control their bladder, need wound care, you name it, I’m perfectly fine with all of it. The amount of pets doesn’t bother me either. If you need a quiet presence for your fur-babies, or one that can keep up with high-energy or high-maintenance pets, I’m your sitter! If there’s one thing I can guarantee, it’s that your fur-babies will be given a lot of love and attention under my care, even if it’s from afar. Your fur-babies needs and comfort come first, regardless of how cute they are, so if they’re wary of strangers I’ll keep my distance. Their boundaries will not be pushed, and I will do my best to not stress them unnecessarily unless I think their safety is at risk. If you have any further questions, feel free to contact me and ask, I’m happy to answer! As of right now, I’m taking a summer break from college and have no active jobs that require me to go in person. So I’d say my schedule is probably one of the freest one’s you’ll see. The few responsibilities I have can be attended remotely as long as I have a working computer, but they never take more than two hours at most. Unfortunately, caring for your pets at my own home is not currently available and is incredibly unlikely to be, as I DO live with my parents and they gave a very adamant “no” to that idea. So apologies about that, however I’m more than happy to stay overnight if needed! If your fur-babies have special quirks or need special care, I’m perfectly capable of giving it as long as detailed written instructions are left. However I may ask for a visual demonstration in certain cases, but they’re not required as long as the instructions are written down. I’ll try to stay in the same general vicinity/room as your pets unless instructed otherwise or I notice the action is stressing them, or if they go into a room you don’t want me in. Otherwise, what I do will depend on your instructions to me or what your pet(s) want! Once everything has been attended to for the day and your pets have no longer wish to play, I will be chilling near your pet reading a book or on my phone. During longer stays, I may ask to bring my laptop or tablet. If it’s for more than five days, my laptop WILL be brought as there are certain things I need to attend to on or with it. Regardless of what I’m doing, I’ll always be keeping an eye on your fur-babies and drop what I’m doing if needed. If you have me stay overnight, I’ll bring my own pillow and blanket along with my overnight bag and use either the sofa or any provided sleeping arrangements. I also won’t touch anything in the fridge or pantry unless given EXPLICIT permission, and will instead order in or have my parents or a friend bring me something if I haven’t packed anything. If you have any further questions, feel free to reach out and ask me!

Marie was an amazing pet sitter for our 2 cats. She went above and beyond during our entire trip. She kept us updated with detailed summaries and pictures of our boys and documented for us their behavior and moods throughout her visits. She took care of our cats' specific needs and made us feel comfortable during our time away. We had some issues with our flights getting back home and she was able to extend her visits 2 times. She is a wonderful Rover!

About: Hi, I’m Jacob! Im a Boston Terrier lover my first and only dog I have owned is my beloved Boston Terrier named Emma my family adopted her when I was 4 and she is now 14 years old. My whole life I grew up around animals as my grandparents own a cattle farm fostering my love for all types of animals. I have experience doing drop in dog visits as I've been the go to sitter in the neighborhood. I look forward to meeting your animals and building a connection with them! As a Running Start student at Green River Community College. My college schedule also gives me the flexibility to be available for walks and drop ins throughout the day. Your animal will be my number one priority and im willing to drop what im doing to make sure they are taken care of. When I’m in a client’s home, I treat it with the same respect and care I give my own. I follow all instructions to give the best results possible. I will treat your animals with the up most respect possible as id want someone to treat my dog. Additionally I will try to make your animal feel as safe and loved as possible while his parents are away.

About: I’ve loved and been obsessed with animals of all different kinds for as long as I can remember. I grew up around lots of dogs and have always felt so at home with them. I also have experience with cats, goats, horses, reptiles, amphibians, you name it! I grew up going to camps with farm animals and had friends with llamas and horses and I always enjoyed helping them. As a kid I would take care of neighbors or my friends dogs or cats when they needed it. I have a very deep love for animals and being able to turn that passion into a job has been really special for me. I run my own business from home so my schedule is extremely flexible. I’m happy to visit your pets whenever is best for you. I love taking pictures and will gladly send you video and picture updates! I love tending to each pets needs and finding what works best for them. Whether that’s playing and getting them really tired or providing them company, I want your pets to be as happy and comfortable as possible. I will treat your pet as if it were my own and hopefully I can provide you with some peace of mind while you’re away 😊 I’m available for early mornings, mid day, or evening visits. Weekdays and weekends. I have a very active life style and enjoy being outside. My love of animals and being outdoors go hand in hand and it works perfectly for me. I really love getting down and dirty and keeping your pet(s) happy and healthy I’m very adaptable to fit what works best for each pet parent. I can feed and replace water bowls, play, run around in the backyard with them, scoop poop, give medication, give love and pets, or simply just company. I can also work on training and go on walks

About: I’m an experienced dog walker and pet sitter with a history of repeat and recurring clients. I’ve cared for dogs and cats of different sizes, personalities, and care needs through regular walks, drop-ins, and extended house sitting. I’m reliable, communicative, and treat every pet like my own — with plenty of attention, playtime, walks, cuddles, and photo updates along the way! I’m currently accepting new recurring weekday walking and drop-in clients. I have a flexible schedule, which allows me to accommodate weekday walks, drop-ins, and house sitting throughout the week. I understand how important consistency and routine are for pets, especially when their owners are working or traveling. My goal is to become someone both you and your pet know, trust, and feel completely comfortable with. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine are always my priority. I carefully follow all care instructions, including feeding schedules, medications, walking routines, and any special needs. I’m attentive to each pet’s behavior and comfort level and will never force an interaction they’re uncomfortable with. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat both their pet and their space with the same care and respect I would want for my own.

About: I’ve grown up around dogs, mostly Pit Bulls, and have always been comfortable caring for and being around them. I also cared for my own dog for over a year after getting her when she was around 6 months old. She had a difficult past and had already had puppies at a very young age, so she needed extra patience, trust, and consistency. I worked with her and taught her basic commands, and she became very responsive to me. I’m currently available for pet care any day and at flexible times throughout the week. Starting August 31, I’ll be attending school Monday through Friday from 1:30 PM to 5:30 PM. Outside of those hours, I’ll still have plenty of availability for walks, drop-ins, sitting, and other pet care needs. My school schedule is consistent each day, so I’m able to plan my availability reliably around it. I treat every pet in my care like they are my own. I want them to feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while their owner is away. I make sure they are fed on their normal schedule, have fresh water, get their walks and exercise, and have plenty of playtime and attention. I also enjoy playing with their favorite toys and getting to know their personality and routine. I understand that some pets may take a little time to warm up to someone new, so I’m patient and let them get comfortable with me at their own pace.

Hi Emily! I just wanted to send a really warm thank you for everything you’ve done for our cats and fish tanks these past two weeks. Knowing you were stopping by twice a day and keeping such a close, caring eye on things made such a difference for us while we were gone. We could relax because we knew they were safe, comfortable, and looked after by someone who genuinely cares. Thank you for being so dependable, kind, and patient with all the little surprises that came up. We appreciate you so much.

Kayla is absolutely amazing! She came over before her drop in to meet our pups and it was a great experience. This was our first time using Rover and one of our boys is VERY shy and timid with new people. Kayla did a drop in to take them potty during a long day while we were away. She took such great care of them, followed all of our detailed instructions perfectly and left us as ease knowing our boys were in good hands. We would refer Kayla to anyone looking for care in the area!

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Maple Valley

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Maple Valley on Rover is $22.2 per visit (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 12,054 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Maple Valley. 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 Maple Valley 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 Maple Valley. 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.
