“Kristin was great with my reactive dog and two cats! She was patient and attentive to their specific needs and personalities. And gained my dogs trust quickly during the meet and greet. She was patient with my more skittish cat and made sure she ate and gave detailed updates. Highly reccomend!”
“Heather came to my house right on time before this appointment to be shown around and introduced to the dogs. I had to cancel the visit at the last minute, but I did not want to cancel paying her given the effort that she made.”
“Great experience with Emily. She's conscientious, reliable, sends terrific and fun updates on each visit, and is willing to take on extra tasks like taking our cat to the vet when we discovered he had worms right before leaving town. She and our cat Zeke really hit it off, as I'm sure she would with any animal. Would definitely book her again.”
“Noah was very pleasant, responsive, and great with the puppies. He is a great communicator and a very nice person. I’d recommend him very highly to look after anybody’s loved pets.”
About: I’ve been an animal lover and pet owner since I was 5 years old! Over the years, I’ve cared for a wide variety of animals and friends and family have always trusted me with their pets because they know how much I genuinely love animals. My experience has a wide range. I grew up training my puppy and nurturing my kittens until they were cats, so I’m comfortable with animals of all sizes, personalities, and needs. I’ve also cared for my pregnant cat and her four kittens, giving me experience with both everyday pet care and more hands-on responsibilities. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, feeding, companionship, or simply some extra love while you’re away, I’m happy to provide the same patience, attention, and care I’ve always given my own animals! I’m a full-time college student, but I am extremely flexible! With short days of classes my afternoons and evenings are wide open! I’m open to overnight and early morning care as well! When caring for pets in a client’s home, I make it a priority to keep their routine as consistent and comfortable as possible. I’ll follow all feeding, medication, walking, playtime, and bathroom instructions carefully and make sure they always have fresh water and a clean environment. I love giving pets plenty of attention and companionship, while also respecting their individual personalities and boundaries. I’m comfortable caring for both energetic and more independent pets, and I’ll take the time to make sure they feel safe and comfortable while their owner is away. I also believe communication is important! I’m happy to send regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for. My goal is to treat every pet like one of my own and leave your home just as I found it.
“Sarah was very easy to work with. She took great care of our golden doodle and chickens and was flexible when we were running late, she even left us flowers. Will definitely be using her again.”
About: I’ve cared for pets since I was 9 years old- I find such joy in connecting with animals and getting to know their unique personalities! Various close connections in my life have and continue to rely on me to care for their pets when they are away or need extra support for their pets. I am excited to meet you and your animals and build relationships with people and fur babies of all kinds! I am prioritizing caring for pets, therefore have a very flexible schedule! Reach out to me and I am positive we can find a schedule and routine that works for us both :) I can crate your dog if necessary through experience with my own dogs, and I have experience administering medication safely when necessary. I am very diligent about ensuring the safety of pets to abide with whatever their owners are comfortable with.
“So glad we found Rowyn! Communication is great, she is aware of dogs cues, body language & understands it can take time for a dog to adjust to new routines. We can tell our furbaby is happy to play with her by the fun pics we get! She is dependable and we are happy we found her to take care of our fur child !”
About: Hi, I'm Caroline! I'm the youngest of a big family, and we've had many pets (mostly dogs and cats) growing up. I'm very active and love going on long walks with dogs. Throughout my adult life, my friends with pets have relied on me to take care of them while they’re away. I’m also always attentive to pets who have anxiety and make sure to give them the extra love and cuddles they deserve. Most of my availability falls on Tuesdays, Thursdays, Fridays, and Sundays. I'm open to dog walking, dog sitting (drop-ins and overnights if need be) at the client’s house. There are currently no pets living in my house, but when my friends leave me with their pets, they are guaranteed to get all of the positive attention and love they need to be happy. At a client’s house, I would make sure their pets receive this kind of attention, while also allowing them to be comfortable in their own homes; I would pay close attention to the pets’ moods and energy levels, playing with them when energy levels are high and also giving them time to relax and be calm when need be too. Above all, safety would be my top priority.
About: I have taken care of dogs since I was in elementary school. I would pet sit for friends and neighbors, along with work at vets office for a few years in college. I currently have a black lab named York with my partner. I work an 8-4 job Monday thru Friday, so I am available for early morning, afternoon, and evening check ins. Along with overnights and weekend availability. My focus is to treat your pet like they are my own. Which means good play time and making sure they get their meals on time. I am able to do walks, handle administration of medications, dietary requirements.
About: Unavailable in the Seattle area until mid-January. I have been caring for large dogs as part of my family since I was a child. Now, I have multiple clients for whom I provide dog-sitting services. I have experience looking after a wide range of dogs, from big to small and of all ages. When I was younger, I volunteered at Family Dog Rescue in San Francisco. More recently, I spent some time at Emerald City Pet Rescue, where I cared for small dogs and cats. Currently, I am responsible for the week-long care of a senior Labrador (for the past 4 years), and I help another household with hunting dog mixed breeds. I am also capable of handling both low-energy and high-energy dogs. I am currently on winter break until late January and have high availability. I am also willing to take care of people's pets when I am back home for other breaks and near my university (Amherst, MA) I always make sure to give pets their own time to adjust to me and their environment. I always want them to feel comfortable and safe, especially in their own home. If any kinds of issues come up, I will always make sure to notify the owner.
About: I have experience and love for dogs of all sizes, breeds, personalities, and ages. Though my schedule fluctuates, I can usually provide potty breaks, outdoor time, and walks up to two times a day, in addition to morning and bedtime feeding and other miscellaneous requests. I look forward to getting to know and love your dogs! I work a part time, flexible schedule, so with enough notice, I can be around for much if not all of the day, and stay overnight where necessary. I care for pets in their homes, but I unfortunately do not offer boarding or pet services in my home at this time. I will always treat your home environment with the respect and care it deserves. It is always my goal to leave your home the same or better than I found it, and leave your pets feeling happy, loved, and safe upon departure.
About: I have had 2 dogs for over 10 years now just recently one past away losing that connection has made me want to be able to be there for other dog's like I am to my own. I have pet sit for family friends when they attend vacations or work events. I currently work full time Monday-Friday 8 Am-4:30 Pm. My job is very flexible so If you book with me I can work my schedule at work to fit your pet's needs. I have a dog and 2 cats, So I am not sure how my dog would react to another dog living in her home. I do have a crate and a yard to walk on leash but no fence to free roam.
“Hallie did a wonderful job with our two pups, one of which is a puppy. They both loved her, and she was very knowledgeable about their breed and their requirements. I would highly recommend Hallie for any of your pet care needs!”
“This was our first time using Rover as our usual sitter wasn’t available and Sierra was wonderful! She sent updates and pictures with each visit and our two cats were very content when we came back home. Our shy cat even came out to see her. We’d recommend her to any other cat owners!”
“Thomas was absolutely amazing! I can’t say enough good things about how caring, reliable, and thoughtful he was while watching my cat, Cleo. From day one, he went above and beyond—always on time, super communicative, and genuinely invested in making sure Cleo was happy and comfortable. He sent detailed updates after every visit, along with the sweetest photos and videos (including Cleo’s purrs!). It was so clear that he really paid attention to her mood, eating, and habits, and that he truly cared about her well-being. He even noticed little things like adjusting the windows or temperature depending on the weather, refilled her feeder and litter proactively, and made thoughtful suggestions to keep everything running smoothly while I was away. Cleo clearly adored him—she looked so relaxed and content in every update. Knowing she was in such caring hands gave me complete peace of mind throughout my trip. Thomas didn’t just meet expectations; he exceeded them in every way. I feel really lucky to have found such a kind, trustworthy sitter. I’d recommend him to anyone without hesitation and will definitely ask for his help again the next time I travel.”
About: i’ve been dog walking for several years now on a separate app and have experience sitting a dog for a weeks time. i love spending time with all animals ! i work on weekdays 8-4:30 but can do early or evening walks with pets that i am caring for. I am around to dogsit most days. i don’t have space for a dog in my apartment but i always make sure to follow instructions and care for the animals the best i can !
“Lukas was absolutely wonderful with Hazel and KitKat. When I got home, even after a horrific rainstorm, they were happy and purring as if I'd never left. I cannot thank Lukas enough for giving my cats such good care. Not only do I highly recommend Lukas to watch your furry friends, I now have peace of mind to know that I have someone I can count on for future visits. Thank you so much!”
About: It’s so hard to be away from your pup but having friends come in to visit and play makes the day feel not so long. I have had dogs my whole life. I just love their individual personalities. I typically work Monday through Friday and can pop in for an early morning visit and breakfast or stop by for a longer visit and dinner after work. My schedule is flexible so running over midway is possible if necessary. Weekends are generally wide open. I would like to work with you to meet your needs. I have 2 pups and 3 cats at home that love extra attention, playing and quiet snuggles. Nice long walks or a trip to the dog park could be a fun adventure. For cats, some scratches along the jaw line or kitty fishing can be an engaging way to interact.

- 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.

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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
