“Yingqi was amazing with our kitty! She was very communicative and trustworthy. She shared plenty of picture updates everyday and was so caring. Our kitty usually just wants to cuddle but she got him to play everyday which was a win! I would definitely book Yingqi again.”
“Jessica is the best! She treats our dogs just like her own and takes such good care of them. And she’s always available for a last minute walk or let out :)”
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.
“Caroline is the best! She goes above and beyond for us and our cat, even going back to the house off the clock, to reset the automatic feeder and check on him. 100/10 recommend!”
“Jasmine was AMAZING and a lifesaver this trip! She was to helpful and kind when my auto feeder glitched and even said she could come back every day and night to feed my little Minnie moo. Thank you so much for allowing me to stress so much less on my vacation”
“Allison was absolutely amazing! She watched my goldendoodle, Gus, while I was away for work and did an incredible job! Really appreciated all of the updates, photos and giving him his daily medication. Made me feel so much more comfortable being away knowing he was in good hands. Highly recommend her if you’re looking for someone to take care of your pets for you!”
About: What sets me apart is my lifelong love of animals and hands-on experience caring for pets of all sizes and ages - I treat every animal as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. I’m happy to offer care on most weekends and some weekday evenings, and I always keep my calendar up-to-date so you’ll know exactly when I’m available. During drop-in visits, I make sure to follow your pet’s routine closely. I feed them, give any medications if needed, provide fresh water, and spend quality time walking, playing, and giving affection. I also make sure your home stays tidy, check in with updates and photos, and give your pet plenty of attention so they feel happy and safe while you’re away.
About: I’ve been pet sitting since I was a kid and love to provide your furry friends with care and attention while you’re away! I’ve have experience with dogs of all sizes, cats, chickens, and other farm animals. I have previously worked with pets with medical needs such as daily medication so I am happy to care for pets with special needs. When house sitting, I love to get your pets outside on walks (or runs if they are able to run) at least twice a day. As someone who works from home most days, I will be able to spend a lot of time with your pets, giving them lots of attention and cuddles! I work from home most days and like to break up my work with walks or playing with pets inside and outside of the house. When I go on site, I make sure to take pets out for exercise before I leave and I have flexibility to schedule on site work based on your pets needs, allowing me to check on them during the day if they don’t do well being left alone for long periods. I will want to arrange a meet and greet to ensure your pet has at least met me once before I began caring for them. I typically try to let pets warm up to me in their own time, allowing them to come to me when they are comfortable. Once we’ve established a relationship, I like to spend time playing with them and getting them exercise as much as they are up for and as my day allows.
About: I've been a licensed veterinarian technician for 17 years. Before that I was a foster parent for senior dogs and a doggie daycare employee. Pets with complex medical needs are my forte, and I am an absolute sucker for a gray muzzle. Winning the trust of a shy animal delights me as well. I look forward to being friends with your pets. I currently work part time in a veterinary hospital Mondays and Tuesdays with occasional weekends on-call. This leaves me with availability Wednesday through Friday and many weekends. Your pet's safety is my top priority. I ensure that harnesses or collars are secure before embarking on walks, and always carry a slip lead in my pocket in case of equipment failure. I am well-versed in reading animals' body language and will do my best to work within their comfort zone. In addition, oral and injectable medication administration is a service I can provide if needed.
About: I've grown up taking care of family, friends, and neighbor's dogs of all sizes, responsible for walking, feeding, cleaning, and the general wellbeing of the dog. I also have experience with less-trained dogs, recently being responsible for rescuing, feeding, cleaning, and housing a stray dog. I am currently a student at the University of Washington and a rugby player, but I have a good amount of free time on weekdays and weekends to spend with your dogs! I am available all day Friday and Sunday, with varying availability on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Sunday (please reach out for specific details!). My home is currently unavailable to host your pets, but I am careful to play with the pets in appropriate environments (situational based on home and yard space, surrounding area, owner comfort), and feed, walk, and clean them, along with any other responsibilities I am tasked with. I can easily handle changing schedules and situations as they arise, making sure you and your pet are comfortable and satisfied with your experience.
“Mandy always takes great care of Spike & Sandy whenever she walks them or stays for an overnight visit. She gives them plenty of attention and cuddles!”
“Anisa did a great job watching my dog & cat! She spent plenty of time making sure my dog went outside & also shared some super cute photos of them both :) Will definitely be rebooking!”
“Cathleen was great! Immediately picked up on our pets’ preferences (eg, Dottie wanting unlimited snacks) and was very communicative. We hope she can hang out with them again soon!”
“We could not have been more pleased with Rachel. Prompt, responsive, professional---we would use her again, and enthusiastically recommend her to anyone, without any qualms whatsoever. A real find!!!”
“Grace has been wonderful so far. I booked drop ins to get my dogs used to her coming in since she’ll be taking care of them while I’m out of town. She has been great and I am very comfortable leaving my dogs in her care”
About: My family's been dog sitting since I was 9, and I have always loved dogs. I have lots experience dog sitting all sorts of dogs for my neighbors, from french bulldogs to doodles! I also have a six year old dog of my own named Beethoven. I am a college student home for the summer, so I have lots of time to hang out with your dog! We can go for long walks around Greenlake and cuddle on the couch. I live in a house with a fenced yard in Wallingford. I have one dog and three other family members who will love hanging out with your dog! My dog Beethoven is a medium beagle shar pei mix who enjoys laying on the couch contemplating existence and going for long walks.
“It was so enjoyable to meet Elena and Cowboy the sweet retriever. Elena was able to meet Bauer and also to see how Bauer would react to Cowboy which I believe a fav. main stay in Elena’s care. We took our time discussing from A-Z about Bauer. She is very thorough and i like someone who can share with me how she takes good care of dogs in daycare and boarding. She answered all my questions without making me feel rushed. This is my first time boarding my baby and also our first time to be separated. After meeting Elena I felt relieved since i feel that we are on the same page of how she will care for Bauer. I guess the only thing to do now is book Bauer for Boarding.”

I had to leave to Texas for a last minute trip and Isabella was able to fit Summer in. She took excellent care of my baby for the short time I was gone. Its hard for me to leave my child with anyone and Isabella made me feel like I didn't have to worry. I definitely recommend her and will be a returning client. Thank you so much Isabella.
Lisa is an awesome cat-sitter to our 22-year-old tabby. Old cats can have changing needs, and on our last trip, our senior lady stopped coming upstairs to socialize, so Lisa pivoted and moved her food to meet her where she was spending time. Not to mention getting her treats and meds and a little porch time when appropriate. Highly recommend Lisa!
It was such a comfort to have Christy watching our cats while we were away! She was so responsive and send so many wonderful pictures of the kitties which really eased my anxiety. The cats clearly loved having her around and were clearly calm and happy once we finally got back! I would trust my cats with Christy any time I need to leave home!
Ally is the best! My cats are extremely shy around new people but I have booked so many times with Ally that they actually come out for her now. She's great with the cats, follows any instructions for feeding, great communicator leaving detailed notes about her visits, and flexible! She was able to accommodate this last minute visit giving me peace of mind while being away. I know my cats are in great hands with Ally, getting ready to rebook!
Zephyr did an amazing job with my not so simple cats! They did a great job giving both my cats their meds and preparing meals in timer bowls to feed them throughout the day. I was worried about leaving them since one of them was recently diagnosed with IBD and has been losing weight. I came home and he's gained half a pound! Thank you Zephyr for taking such great care of both of my babies.
Jiani took great care of Umi and Sasha and sent thoughtful daily updates with photos and videos, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. She’s reliable, caring, and super easy to communicate with. I’d absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy sitter!
Danielle is incredible and such a valued, dependable help when our fur babies need checking in on! We are always so grateful for her going above and beyond during her visits to make our two cats (one with medical administration) feel cared for! Thank you Danielle!!
Emily was amazing with our cats! She was immediately willing to give one of them medication, and she even got our shy girl to be on her lap in just a few days. Emily was very communicative and took lots of photos for us along with detailed visit cards. We will definitely be rebooking. Thank you! :)

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Meridian is $26 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $42 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 November 2026, there are 12,648 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Meridian. 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 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 Meridian. 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 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.
