“Melissa did a great job. This was our first trip away since we added a puppy to the household. She listened to all our concerns and really put any worries I had to rest. She sent many truly wonderful photos and videos. She clearly kept my dogs healthy and happy. And our house looked great upon our return. I would use her again without hesitation.”
“Justin does such a great job taking care of my cats! I always know they are in good hands when he is housesitting. He is my first choice whenever we leave town!”
“Mandy took great care of our two dogs, Henry and Ted. She followed our instructions, sent photo updates, and we came home to two happy, relaxed pups. Highly recommend Mandy as a reliable, caring sitter.”
“Jolene is awesome, she was well prepared with details about toby. She is a creative person and it was awesome to see her draw Toby! Toby loved her!!”
About: I have had and been around dogs since I was about 5 years old and have loved every second of it. Animals have always held a special place in my heart and I couldn't imagine my life without them. I started taking care of our family pets once I was a teenager and over a year ago I adopted my dog, Bumi, from Seattle Humane. Bumi turned out to be highly reactive and since adopting him I have worked extensively with a trainer and become very familiar with reactive dogs and can handle them well, provided they have some level of training. I have also looked after cats from my friends and acquaintances and have never had a negative experience aside from the occasional ankle swipe or warning bite, as cats are want to do. After working with my reactive dog I have become very sensitive to animals body language and know when to back off. While cats body language is quite different from a dogs I have plenty of experience and know when a cat does not want to be approached. I've loved every single dog and cat I have come across and would love to provide excellent care for your pets. I'm currently an unemployed scientist waiting for the NIH to be funded again so my schedule during the day is wide open. I have some responsibilities in the evening that can last a few hours but can still attend to pets as needed. As I have a reactive dog at home I won't be able to house pets at my home but can come to your house and care for your pets. Your pets safety and well-being are incredibly important to me. This includes stress levels and other emotional issues. While taking care of your pets I will work to ensure their comfort and reduce their stress while you are away.
“Rae took great care of our dog & cat. Our dog was recovering from surgery and was a bit more complicated because of that, she paid attention to the details of her care and stayed in communication while we were away.”
About: I’ve been house and pet sitting since 2024, caring for pets at every stage of life. Whether your pet is a high-energy puppy, a laid-back adult, or a senior who thrives on routine, I tailor their care to what they need. I’m an active person who loves spending time outside, so your dog will get plenty of walks, fresh air, and time in nature. I’m happy to take them on local trails and parks. With seniors, I keep to a gentle routine with a short walk and measured meals right. With young dogs, I draw on my volunteer work at Resilient Hearts puppy play sessions, where I use positive reinforcement to build good habits and keep puppies safe, engaged, and confident. What sets me apart is that I follow your instructions closely. Feeding schedules, walk routines, quirks, and comfort items: tell me what keeps your pet happy, and I’ll stick to it, so you can enjoy your time away knowing they’re in good hands. 🔔 Bookings made within 3 days of the start date have a $50 short notice fee. I work remotely full-time, so I can be at your home all day, every day, as needed. That means no long stretches alone for your pet, and midday potty breaks, meals, and meds are never a problem. For walks, I’m available after 5 PM on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Fridays in the Green Lake, Phinney Ridge, Wallingford, Fremont, and Ballard areas. I treat your home and your pet’s routine with care. Before a stay, I’ll ask for your feeding amounts, medications, walk routine, vet contact, and any quirks or triggers, and I follow them closely. Pets are never left alone for long, and dogs are always leashed on walks and given regular time outside. I measure meals exactly as instructed, use positive reinforcement, and keep their space calm and comfortable. I’ll send you regular updates and photos, and I’ll contact you right away if anything seems off, and get your pet to the vet if needed.
“Margaux was absolutely wonderful with our sweet Indy! Communicative and flexible, she took Indy for long and lovely walks and sent the cutest pictures. We know that Indy had the best time and we rested so easy knowing she was in Margaux's care. Thank you, Margaux!”
“Highly Recommend Madeline! We had such a wonderful experience with Madeline! This was our first time ever using a pet sitter, so we were understandably a little nervous—especially because our dog can be somewhat challenging. Madeline was absolutely fantastic from start to finish and immediately put us at ease. She was incredibly timely, responsible, and attentive. We really appreciated the updates she sent throughout the overnight stay—they were just the right amount and gave us peace of mind knowing everything was going well. The photos she shared were an especially nice touch, and we loved being able to see our dog happy and comfortable while we were away. Madeline handled everything so professionally and clearly has a genuine love and understanding of animals. By the time we returned, we felt completely confident that our dog had been well cared for. We couldn’t have asked for a better first experience with a pet sitter. Madeline was wonderful, and we would absolutely trust her with our dog again. Highly, highly recommend!”
“Mackenzie was wonderful with our pets. She took great care of our dog and two cats, and left our house in great condition. She was very communicative, sent lots of updates/pictures, and asked clarifying questions when needed. Highly recommend Mackenzie and we will be recurring clients!”
About: all my 21 (almost 22) years of living I have always been surrounded by animals! growing up in the philippines my family always had plenty of pets (birds, dogs, cats, our own farm basically) and as an avid and passionate pet lover, i’ll cater to your pets needs as much as i can. i’d treat them as if they’re my own! <3 I’m a part-time student part-time working so my availability is very flexible! don’t hesitate to reach out and I can work around for what works with you! I’ll keep the place tidy! Make sure that your pets are well loved, fed, played with, and provide anything else that they need/what you tell me to do for them.
“Aileen was outstanding sitting Monte & Beppe during our two weeks away. She was excellent in sending messages & photos of our pets on occasion so we were assured all was well with them. Upon our return, they were both very comfortable and as though we had not been away but ready to return to their daily routine with us. Our place was very tidy and obviously had been well attended to during our absence. We highly recommend Aileen and are currently planning our next time away and hopeful she will be available. Cheers.....A&L and Monte & Beppe (aka LAMB)”
“Mae was great! One of my dogs is quite nervous around new people and she was great with her. She provided regular updates and pictures. My dogs were relaxed and happy when I came home. I would recommend her!”
About: I grew up with my parents' and grandparents' dogs, cuddling and playing with them since I was a toddler. I have 3 years of experience caring for my family's sweet golden retriever, Elrond, and helped train him when he was a puppy. I am currently a full time student at the University of Washington, so I'm available after 5pm on Fridays and all day throughout the weekend. I'll treat your pet and home with respect and care. I'll make sure your pet has fresh water, regular bathroom breaks, exercise, and plenty of attention and companionship so they feel comfortable, happy, and cared for while you're away.
“Michelle was wonderful to work with! She was thorough in her communication and preparation to take care of our pups. She gave great updates and photos all throughout our trip and I could truly enjoy being away knowing our fur babies were in great hands!! Can’t wait to have her watch them again!!”
“Lily is awesome! She is super reliable, quick to respond with pictures and text. Great communicator and took great care of our kitties. We even had a date mix up and she was so gracious and flexible. Thank you, Lily!”
“Never felt such peace of mind leaving the dogs in the care of someone else. Kristen was absolutely amazing in caring for our dogs and home, she was super attentive to their needs and routine and communicated constantly without me having to reach out first. Highly recommend her and will most definitely be rebooking with her in the future !”
“Olivia was a fantastic house sitter for our 2 senior dogs! Our dogs have some special needs including many medications, and I felt so confident in their care while we were gone. Olivia was professional, conciseness, and so kind. We got regular updates and check-ins for any questions. Our house was spotless and we could tell the dogs were so well cared for upon our return. Highly recommended! (Thank you again, Olivia!!)”
“Grace is great! She housesat & watched our cat. Terrific communication, lots of pictures of our cat along with notes. I will absolutely use her again!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Meridian
This was my first time leaving Kepler alone overnight with a sitter from Rover and Nicole did an excellent job watching him. She responds quickly and sent lots of photos and updates of him while I was gone. She was very sweet and considerate of Kepler and took him on a lot of walks. I highly recommend Nicole for dog sitter or dog walking!!
Sofia was a wonderful dog sitter! She kept me regularly updated and sent along photos. My dog was clearly happier than I’ve seen with sitters in the past and it was clear Sofia got her lots of walks and attentions. She also handled a fairly new medical challenge requiring meds very well. On top of that, my house was left at least as clean as I left it - if not more. I will absolutely be asking Sofia to dog sit in the future!
We had such a great experience! She and her partner watched all three of our dogs for a week and did an amazing job! Our two Frenchies can be pretty wild, and our Cocker Spaniel is very anxious, so they definitely had their hands full. They handled all three of their different personalities so well and made us feel completely comfortable leaving them in their care. It was such a relief knowing our dogs were in good hands while we were away. We’re so grateful for how well they took care of them and would absolutely book with them again! Highly recommend!
Jennifer is the best! I feel so comfortable having her stay with the girls, and they absolutely love her. They’re always so excited to see her and are happy and relaxed when I get home. It’s honestly such a blessing to have found someone I trust so much with them. I always have complete peace of mind when I’m out of town. I can’t recommend her enough!
Tessa took care of my senior cat and senior dog for two nights in my home. I came back and Tessa left my place tidy and she followed my instructions with taken care of my pets. Tessa provided the flexibility that was looking for while away. I would definitely use Tessa again! I highly recommend her services.

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Meridian walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Meridian maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
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 Meridian 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!
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.
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.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Meridian. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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.
