“Shannon did an excellent job providing drop in care for our sweet pups this week. Will definitely book with her again and highly recommend her to others looking for a caring and trustworthy person.”
About: I grew up with a golden retriever and two cats in my home, where my love for animals started! I’ve watched pets for neighbors and friends along the way. I also trained a corgi from puppyhood to adulthood (whew! that was hard), a Pyrenees, and had two cats on my own! Training classes I have taken with pets include puppy 101, recall, and aggressive dog training. I focus on positive support training and reinforcement to create a comfortable space for me and your pet. I have a great understanding that all pets a like need stability, structure, lots of playtime and cuddles. I recently moved from Minneapolis to Seattle with my kitty, Mazik to the Wallingford neighborhood. I am looking for something gigs in between my day job (8-5 M-F). I am hoping to connect with some pet parents and help some families out! I am working a full time job Monday through Friday. My days are sometimes open due to the work load but will change. I am open to drop ins if they are close enough to me! I am mostly open early mornings, evenings, and weekends! This includes overnights! I will follow the routine for your pet specifically to create a safe space with me! Any training required, food schedules, medications to be given, and playtime will be followed to exact instructions.
About: I'm super passionate about animals and pet care, and I am grateful for every opportunity to hang out with them. I love to spend time getting to know pets, and I am great at adapting to their quirks and needs! As a recent graduate, I'm looking to expand my pet care experience and help people. I'm available all week, and devote most of my time to animals - with my experience including hundreds of hours of pet sitting and dog walking, my role as a wildlife care assistant at PAWS, and experience as a kennel technician at a veterinary clinic! When caring for pets at my house or a client's, I never leave for long periods, and I'm great at staying on top of medication requirements. I am also able to provide pick-up and drop-off services to make things easier for owners.
About: I’ve adored and cared for animals my entire life, from dogs and cats to guinea pigs and chickens! In addition to having many of my own (including currently a cat and two guinea pigs), I have experience pet sitting, walking, bathing, occasionally training, and otherwise looking after the lovely pets of my neighbors, friends, and clients. I’m no stranger to dogs that love to pull or cats that wake you up at 4am, and I would love to meet you and your best friend(s). I will soon be enrolled in a training program to become a certified veterinary assistant. While this will restrict my availability, I will still have plenty of time in my schedule to give your pet the best of care! Starting August 12th I will be taking classes to become a certified veterinary assistant, meaning I will not be able to accept bookings from 6am - 1pm on weekdays. I take being trusted with somebody's pet quite seriously. I have experience with pets with more special needs, and so am equipped to adjust to your pet's unique requirements: be that a different feeding schedule, oral medication, or otherwise!
“Noelle is such a wonderful, loving sitter! First time booking with rover and I am so thankful she booked with me! My lil pup loves her and has helped him with keeping with potty training, short walks outside, and even train him! I would definitely rebook! I actually booked for the entire month and I am glad that my pup has someone like her since I can’y be with him all the time. Thanks Noelle!”
“Anna was amazing with our 10 week old golden retriever puppy! After our meet and greet I felt at ease knowing she would be checking in with our pup! She played lots with him and shared great photos! We will be asking to have her check in lots!”
About: I have lived with and taken care of dogs and cats my entire life. I feel that pets are family members, Friends and family have asked me to care for their pets. And I have enjoyed doing it every time. I am retired but have always been active and look forward to meeting and playing with varied dogs and cats. I currently live with a found kitty that climbed over my back fence 2 years ago. While I can be playful I am serious, reliable, experienced with life. I am a Seattle Native raised and lived in the North End most of my life. I am familiar2 with Edmonds, Shoreline, Lynnwood, and other surrounding areas. The Interurban Trail, Lake Ballanger, and other parks are familiar walks.
“Lily was fantastic! She did a great job taking care of our cat babies while we were away. She was very responsive and sent updates. Will definitely have her take care of our cats again. Grateful for her help!”
“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: I’ve always had a deep love for dogs—growing up with one at home and now raising and training my own mixed-breed rescue dog. I’ve volunteered at a dog shelter and have also cared for my coworkers’ and friends’ dogs. (But new to Rover!)🐶 I truly care for each and every dog I meet, and I’ll treat your dog like my own. I currently walk my own dog four times a day, meaning any dog in my care is guaranteed to get plenty of regular exercise, bathroom breaks, and fresh air throughout the day. While in my care, I stay at home with your dog, ensuring they feel comfortable and loved. I’ll go outside is for regular walks to the park, where your dog can enjoy fresh air and some exercise. I focus on providing a calm, safe environment where your dog will feel at ease, and I’m always ready to give them the love and attention they deserve.
“Nathan was extremely helpful watching my dog, taking him on walks, and spending time with him. Very trustworthy, very kind, follows directions well and keeps you informed which meant a lot to me. He was always punctual and very understanding of my concerns. I will definitely be booking him again!”
About: I have experience with dogs of all ages. My dog, Lola passed away this October. She was 11 years old and the last 3 months of her life were really challenging. I understand personally what it takes to care for an animal with unique health needs. I am more than happy to attend to your pets unique needs! I have had many dogs and cats over the years, from babies to seniors and all of the stuff that comes in between. I am reliable and trustworthy- being on time and following through... I pay special attention to Care Instruction- respecting routine preferences, playtime, rest, administering medications properly... Genuine Love for Animals and Great Communication- responsiveness, sending pictures and updates as needed and informing you of any issues or emergencies right away... Experience and Skill- understanding animal behavior and body language, handle emergencies calmly and effectively, caring for any special needs or medical condition, behavioral needs... Safety and Security- ensuring your pet and your home are safe... Animals have been a cherished part of my life for as long as I can remember. My most recent dog, Lola, was my loyal companion for 11 years before she passed away this October. She was my ride-or-die girl, and the bond we shared was unforgettable. Spending time with animals brings me immense joy, and I love connecting with them on their level. I strive to be fully present with every pet, tuning into their unique personalities and needs. Whether it’s playtime, walks, or simply sharing quiet moments, I aim to create a fun, loving, and meaningful experience for them. Caring for your pet is not just a job for me—it’s a heartfelt way to honor my passion for animals and the happiness they bring to our lives. As a self-employed professional, I have the flexibility to create my own schedule, which allows me to prioritize pet care. I carefully plan my days to ensure I can devote the time and attention each pet deserves. Whether it's daily walks, drop-in visits, or overnight stays, I structure my schedule to accommodate the needs of pets and their owners. My flexible routine ensures that pets receive consistent care, love, and attention while fitting seamlessly into my work-life balance. ******You should know that although I do not have any full time pets I do have Astrid, a german shepard and husky mix who stays with me Friday nights. I am able to keep her separate from other pets if needed. Please ask if you have any questions or concerns.****** In my home, I create a calm, safe, and pet-friendly environment where animals can feel at ease. I ensure they have a cozy space to relax, plenty of playtime and walks, and maintain their regular routines as much as possible. I prioritize cleanliness, comfort, and provide constant supervision to make them feel at home. When caring for pets in their own home, I take extra care to follow the owner's instructions to the letter, keeping their routine intact and respecting their personal space. I make sure pets feel safe and secure while their owners are away by being fully present, attentive to their needs, and offering appropriate levels of love and engagement. Whether at my home or theirs, I treat every pet like they’re my own, ensuring their well-being and happiness are my top priorities
“Tiffany is a perfect cat sitter! She took an excellent care of our two guys, she's very dependable, engaged, and committed. She sends lots of pictures and very funny updates which always brought smiles to our faces. We could truly tell she likes our cats, and also understands their unique nature. Thank you Tiffany!”
“Daniel did a great job taking care of my two shy cats while I was away. What I appreciate most is he is proactive about communication, contacting me the day before my trip to make sure we were aligned. He also politely pointed out that I entered one of the times incorrectly on my booking. He is professional and very good at what he does.”
“Scott takes such good care of my cat when I’m away, and he always provides consistent, detailed updates. It’s so nice to know that I don’t have to worry about her when I’m not there. Thank you, Scott!”

Feel free to reach out with any questions or inquiries:) I always want to be accommodating to every furry friend, I know with every personality comes specific needs. Just let me know what they need! Currently my apartment is not large enough for dog sitting.
“Angelica was a life saver in a pinch! She was thoroughly communicative, eager to help out, and super capable! She sent me lots of photos and communicated effectively when I needed it most.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Mountlake Terrace
Elaina was terrific! Our two Westies took to her right away. She spent time with them and sent several pictures. The pups were obviously happy and excited to see her. We felt immediately comfortable with her being in our home and with our pups. We appreciated her prompt responses to our questions (this was our first time using Rover). We highly recommend Elaina and have already scheduled to use her again for a trip next month!
I'm a bit of an anxious pet mom because one of my dogs is an energetic husky and the other is a highly reactive dog with a complicated medical history. Abby did an incredible job keeping me updated about how the dogs were doing while I was away, including sending loads of adorable photos. She went above and beyond giving my highly reactive little guy his inhaler twice a day; there are fewer than five people in the entire world that he actually likes and she is one of them. She did a wonderful job ensuring that my energetic husky got the activity and enrichment that she needed to be happy, that my little guy got his medication and cuddles, and that I felt secure the entire time I was gone knowing they were in excellent hands. I can't recommend Abby highly enough.
Kristy took excellent care of our new dog we adopted just a few days ago! Our pup is quite nervous about many things but Kristy came for a meet and greet the day before and then came the 3x as planned during our work day to take care of Sequoia, and gave her meds as scheduled. We will happily book Kristy again next time we need care!
Katie is a dependable rockstar! She’s responsive, insightful, and takes that little extra step for your pet that gives you that peace of mind. For as long as I live close enough for her to be my sitter, I will be forever using her to watch my pup, and you should too!
Nathan was extremely helpful watching my dog, taking him on walks, and spending time with him. Very trustworthy, very kind, follows directions well and keeps you informed which meant a lot to me. He was always punctual and very understanding of my concerns. I will definitely be booking him again!
Penny is the absolute best person we have ever had care for our 9 year old dog. She loves animals and their personalities. ❤️ Our Luna was happy and content when we got home from a week long trip. We will ask Penny to watch her again the next time we go somewhere.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking.
