“Molly took great care of Luca during her drop in visits. She noticed that Luca was feeling lonely without her human family. In addition she would bring in any packages that were delivered.”
About: I have taken care of cats and dogs from ages 4 months to 12 years! I like to learn each animals needs and modify my care for them! I work three days a week and keep an open schedule to care for others’ animals the other four days in the week! I have a flexible schedule and can even help on the days I am scheduled at my main job! I always ask for your preferences for your animals! Whether this includes walk length, treats and food, and even mannerisms, I always want to make sure YOU and your animals are comfortable!
“Jacqueline was wonderful! So sweet, prompt, and my dogs loved her! They’re normally very nervous pups so it made me really relaxed to know they had someone safe coming into the house every day. <3 Definitely will hire again next time I leave town!”
“Tayla was amazing! She went above and beyond to make sure our cat was taken care of when we were out of town! She spent extra time and attention to make sure that our cat was comfortable and eating after a fire alarm went off. I can’t recommend her enough!”
“Erin provided wonderful care for my cats! She has great communication & my babies are lucky to have such a caring sitter. She has a calming and reassuring presence and will win over the shyest of cats. Thank you!”
“Evita is the best! my cat is sweet but a crazy little lady and Evita keeps her fed and loved when I have to leave town. Thank you Evita for always taking care of my chunky fuzzball! Marcie loves you!”
About: I have had dogs since I was 3 years old. Currently do not have a dog of my own but still dog sit for my mom when she goes out of town or comes visits me. Have plenty of experience with dogs of all sizes and puppies. Young professional in seasonal type job. My work is currently in the slow season so have plenty of time for dogs/puppies. I also have all my weekends available to puppy sit. I live in an apartment but there are plenty of walking trails and parks nearby. I also have plenty of time off and no weekend commitments so I can stay at your home so the pups are more comfortable.
“Maya was INCREDIBLE! I booked based off of reviews and I wasn’t disappointed. I was worried because Cooper being an Australian Cattle Dog and notoriously high energy that maybe she’d be too much but to my surprise she had some shepherds of her own. What a perfect match! Communication, feedback, and overall care for Cooper was absolutely perfect. Meeting Maya too was pleasant. 10/10 would book again if she’d have us! This is your local trusted walker!”
“Rachel is the best!! This was my first time leaving my cat since getting him and I was so anxious beforehand but she did such a great job!! Never once did she forget to check in and give me the best overall summary of how my cat was doing, I was only gone a few days but I was never worried. She takes wonderful pictures of playtime and will always make sure to keep you updated how your pet is doing while you are away. Extremely professional would 100% book her again!!”
“Shannon was great! Super on time, followed instructions perfectly and added great notes and pictures to ensure we knew all of our fur kids were happy and safe.”
About: I have a 4 year old excitable spaniel of my own who certainly keeps my life exciting! I have always lived with dogs and can’t imagine it any other way. But I also love cats! Nearly all my friends have cats and I have lots of experience pet-sitting for many of them. I love spending time around animals and would love to take care of yours! I have a full-time 8-5 job, but do have flexibility within my week. I wfh at least one day a week - sometimes more. Evenings and weekends are usually super open for me!

I also have a friendly dog of my own to keep yours company. I have a crate that can be used if your pup likes a place to settle. My furniture is my dogs furniture and it would be the same for your furry friend too! I also have an animal loving roommate - so double the love.
“Ava took great care of my cats! Her updates were great and I felt like she genuinely enjoyed spending the time with them. My friendly cat really took to her, more than I’ve seen him do with any friends or sitters, and my shy cat even came around a bit too. Ava was awesome all around and I would highly recommend her!”

About: I've taken care of all kinds of dogs since a young age and have recently adopted a Great Pyrenees mix that has taken many hours of training and desensitizing to the world due to his difficult prior life. I adore my interactions with dogs and will treat them as if they are my own. I am currently not working but will be going back to work part-time over the next couple months. Right now my schedule is open and I spend most my time with my dog at home or socializing/playing with him on a friend's property with many different types of dogs. I have a yard with a 4 foot fence lining one side, 6 foot along the rest and a two story house with a basement. My rescue dog gets along great with other dogs and would love to have the company. I have many toys and games for dogs that come over as well as a dog friendly neighborhood and parks to walk in.
About: I grew up with cats and two big dogs, so animals have always been a big part of my life. I’ve also volunteered at a dog shelter, giving me experience with dogs of all sizes and personalities. I’ve cared for pets through the TrustedHousesitters app, where I’ve been a reliable and trusted sitter, treating every home and pet with responsibility and care. I love taking dogs on long walks, or running if needed, and I know how to give cats the calm, gentle care they need. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, loved, and happy while you’re away. I’m a yogi and AI writer with a very flexible schedule, happy to spend as much time as needed with your pets and give a lot of love! I have a safe, pet-friendly apartment located near the park, providing plenty of space and fresh air for walks and play. Your pets will be comfortable, secure, and cared for as if they were part of my own family.
“Our kitties warmed up to Nadtakan fast, and she took great care of them while we were away. I appreciated her attention to detail and reliability, and would like to connect again for future trips!”
About: While I don’t currently have any pets of my own, I have experience dog sitting for family and friends pets. I work from home and am able to take your furry friend out and about for potty breaks throughout the work day. After work I love taking long walks through the city and I can’t wait to have company if your pet is up for it! Dogs have been a part of my life since I was little and I have always consider them family. Pets are encouraged to snuggle up next to me on the couch while I’m working and in bed for the night. I can’t wait to meet you and your furry companion! I am a work from home gal who is able to take your pet out for frequent potty breaks. I am available for care 7 days a week. I live in an apartment but indoor play and long walks are a specialty of mine. Dogs can expect unlimited cuddles and walks to burn energy.
Northwest pet parents share their Rover experiences
Kate was professional from the very beginning with timely and open communication before even booking. It’s clear she has a lot of experience with cat sitting. I didn’t worry once about my pet during my vacation and my pet is reactive and scared of strangers. I would recommend and rebook without doubt.
A+++ cat sitter! Lillian was an absolute professional and a wonderful caregiver for our cat while we were away for two weeks. Our cat, Gage, is 17 years old and has several medical conditions, so we were very selective about who we trusted with his care. We greatly appreciated Lillian's thorough, diligent, and attentive approach. She followed all of Gage's care instructions, provided daily health updates, alerted us to any concerns, and helped ensure he received excellent care throughout our trip. We've been using Rover for years, and Lillian is the best sitter we've ever worked with. She was consistently reliable, kept detailed notes about Gage's care, managed his multiple daily medications and special dietary needs flawlessly, and sent adorable daily photos. We recommend Lillian without reservation and would happily book with her again.
Adriana once again exceeded our expectations with the care of our beloved old boy Cheese. She was very attentive and very communicative the entire week we were away. Not once did we feel as if we were not able to reach out; Adriana was always on top of her messages and was always a text or phone call away. Our Cheesy boy was very happy and it almost seems like he didn’t even miss us with how much attention Adriana gave him!! Will ALWAYS book with Adriana moving forward.
Erin did a great job taking the best care of my cat Olive! Followed instructions, great communication, took the sweetest pictures, and overall good care of my home when I returned. I would definitely book again with Erin, she was wonderful and Olive definitely warmed up to her quick!
I’m very grateful for Lori! Thank you for coming back to check on the boys after not being able to get in the first time and going back to give one of my cats extra medication. Maurice seems to be doing better and is transitioning to his new diet. You are a life saver :)
