“Samantha was great with our pets on their drop-in visit! Our puppy was so excited and our kitten also got some play time (but mostly watched over everything like a good guard-cat). She played with our pup, made sure he got a bathroom break, and got some great pictures!”
About: I have experience caring for dogs of all energy levels, from playful puppies to senior dogs who need a little extra patience and care. I also have experience with cats and a variety of animals. Over the years, I've cared for everything from iguanas to ferrets and truly enjoy working with animals of all kinds. I currently work part-time, typically during the mornings, which leaves the rest of my day flexible for pet care. This allows me to provide attentive care, regular potty breaks, exercise, playtime, feeding, and plenty of companionship throughout the day. I have a lifelong love of animals and enjoy making them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. During our meet and greet, I'll take the time to learn about your pet's routine, needs, personality, and any special quirks or preferences. My goal is to provide consistent, attentive care that helps your pet feel comfortable, safe, and happy while you're away.
“Brooke was very kind to help me with a short notice house visit to help take care of my cat while I was away. She is a very friendly and caring person, helped to feed/clean the litter box as well as just keep my cat company so he doesn't feel sad and alone. Will definitely reach out to Brooke again in the future 😻”
“Was glad to find Emma after moving to Carnation. She took great care of our four cats while we were on vacation and the pics from each visit were definitely appreciated.”
About: I am in love with the all animals. I was a kennel assistant for 2 years and I have three pets of my own, 2 Persian cats and a shih tzu dog. I am experienced with Guinea pigs, fish, cats, dogs and other small animals. Your pet will have nothing but the best and most kind and fun experience with me. I am happy to help out so you have no worries while being away ! :) I am currently working hybrid full time eight to three. Weekend work is more ideal for me but I am open to boarding on weekdays. I have professional cat wrangling experience. I can crate your dogs if needed. I have a friendly small dog and cat in my home to help keep yours company. I am here to help take care of your fur babies as needed :)
“Lorie took great care of my kitties while I was away, she gave them lots of love and sent wonderful photos. She made my trip relaxing and stress free knowing that my kitties were happy.”
“This was our third time hiring Silvana to pet sit for us over the weekend. We couldn’t be happier with the way she takes care of our cat and pet ducks. She clearly follows all care directions, is very gentle and kind to our pets, and is dependable with great communication. Silvana consistently goes above and beyond. I recommend her wholeheartedly to anyone!”
About: I’ve worked professionally with dogs for nearly 10 years in training centers, veterinary clinics, daycares, grooming facilities, and dog walking. I have a bachelor’s degree in Animal Health and Science and experience working with dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities. I especially enjoy working with high energy, excitable, shy, and reactive dogs and understand that every dog has different needs. I’m comfortable with everything from relaxed neighborhood walks to more active, enrichment focused outings with plenty of sniffing, exploring, and mental stimulation. I always prioritize safety, communication, and making sure your dog feels comfortable and cared for. Whether your dog needs exercise, enrichment, companionship, or someone who understands their individual quirks, I’ll treat them with the same patience and attention I give my own dogs! Pet care is a regular part of my weekly routine, and I keep my schedule flexible to accommodate walks, drop ins, and other pet care needs. I’m available throughout the week and do my best to work with each client’s normal routine. I’m also happy to accommodate recurring walks for pups who need consistent exercise and enrichment! Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, triggers, and individual needs before caring for them. I’m experienced with dogs of different sizes, temperaments, and energy levels, including reactive and nervous dogs. I follow all owner instructions carefully, keep dogs securely leashed on walks, and provide updates so you can feel confident that your pet is safe and well cared for.
About: I have cared for male and female dogs of many different breeds and ages throughout my life since I always grew up with at least 2 dogs in the house. My parents first owned a Shetland sheepdog named Sammy that they bought around the time I was born. We added to our family when we adopted Nika the border collie from our local pet shelter. After Nika and Sammy, our family has since adopted two American staffordshire terrier mixes. Penny most recently passed away after living a long life. Maisie is our family’s newest addition and is featured on my profile!! I am job seeking and only part-time employed. As part of my daily schedule, I can confidently administer medications to and feed dogs and birds throughout the day. There are gaps in my day that allow me to regularly let dogs out to use the bathroom without spending excessive time in your personal space. I have plenty of time to walk and exercise dogs because I am located next to Marymoor Park in Redmond. I take an individualized approach to pet care and always listen to the owner first. I know that every dog is different and requires a different type of attention or may have different pet care needs. Please let me know and I will try my hardest to accommodate you and your pets.
“Liz was wonderful with our pup. He recently hit adolescence and has forgotten his manners and she was sweet and patient with him. She provided good photos where he was clearly happy and content in her presence. She is a great and responsive communicator. We look forward to having her watch our boy in the future.”
“Nicole was awesome while we were away for the holidays. She sent me pictures of my kitty everyday, letting me know he was okay and well cared for. She also gave him lots of love and played with him daily. Nicole even brought packages (not in her job description) into the apartment for us. Thank you Nicole!”
About: Hi there! My name is Liz & I already love your dog! I’ve been house sitting, walking & caring for pets for 6 years. I love being able to help take care of your dogs to the best of my ability. I have transportation and I am available hours that most others are not and am willing to travel to your pup whenever you need. I love giving each dog all the love and attention they need so they don’t have to be sad missing the most important person to them, YOU! I like being able to care for doggies and spoiling them with love during their time with me. I have a flexible schedule and your dogs happiness mixed with your satisfaction is the most important thing to me! I currently am just pet sitting and doing art for work, so i have plenty of time to care for and play with your pet! The safety of your pet is my number one priority. I want to be able to keep them happy and healthy while they await your return. Any safety concerns you have will be discussed before any care, so we can make sure your pet is well taken care of!
About: I not only have been a pet owner since I was 5, but I have over a year of experience as a canine coach at a doggy daycare, and am currently working as shelter care for Seattle Humane Society. :) 4 days a week i work 11 hours at the animals shelter! outside of those days i get homesick for animals so i spend my days off at the dog park :) I personally do not have any pets right now, but I used to feed, walk, and bathe my dogs. I can do nails, ears, and teeth as well. I also give frequent potty breaks.
“Cara has been absolutely wonderful with our cats and taken amazing care of them. At our first meet and greet - she was friendly , easy to talk with and took down all the information about our cats and the instructions needed with regard to the drop-in visits. My cats also immediately warmed up to her and were so happy to see a new friend and play with her. At every drop-in, she took plenty of photos, spent time playing with them and gave a detailed summary of how they were doing at the end of each visit. She even got them so new toys to play which my cats enjoyed immensely. I can tell she treated them both with so much love as if they were her own. She truly went above and beyond. We definitely recommend her highly and are surely going to book her again when we need our cats to be taken care of. Thanks so much again, Cara!”
About: Contributing to the well being of animals and their families is what i do best. Realibility and kindess are key characteristics I rely on. Always happy to help your special critters. With working full time I look forward to weekends where I can take care of others' animals. They would get my full attention and support. Pets staying in my home would have the luxury of a doggy door, fenced yard, lushes grass, comfy couches and beds! When staying in your own home we will follow any guidelines left by the owner.
About: Passionate about loving and caring for animals, with professional service-dog training experience and expertise handling small, large, and giant breeds, working dogs, medically complex pets, and animals requiring individualized attention. My experience ranges from Jack Russells to a medically high-maintenance Great Dane and, currently, my white German Shepherd. I also have professional dog-training experience with Brandon McMillan at Lucky Dog Ranch in Los Angeles, including service-dog training. That experience taught me the importance of understanding canine behavior, body language, consistency, structure, and adapting my approach to each individual dog. I’m comfortable with strong and energetic dogs, seniors, special-needs pets, detailed feeding routines, and dogs requiring additional attention or care. I understand how difficult it can be to find someone you genuinely trust to walk or care for your beloved pet. I treat every dog as an individual, respect the training and routines you have established, and provide the same attentive, dependable care I would want for my own. I believe dogs thrive with consistency, so I do my best to maintain the schedule and routine they’re already comfortable with. I’ll follow your preferences for walks, meals, medications, potty breaks, playtime, training, and downtime. I’m active and happy to accommodate everything from leisurely neighborhood walks to longer, more energetic outings for dogs who need extra exercise and stimulation. I also make time for play, enrichment, affection, and plenty of rest. Every dog is different, so I tailor the day around their age, energy level, personality, and individual needs rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach. Safety and trust always come first. Whether I’m caring for your pet in my home or yours, I take the time to understand their normal routine, personality, training, feeding schedule, medical needs, and any behaviors or triggers I should be aware of. My professional service-dog training experience has taught me to pay close attention to canine body language and behavior, use calm and consistent handling, and create an environment where dogs feel safe and comfortable. I follow each owner’s instructions closely and maintain the routines and boundaries their dog already knows. Walks are handled responsibly, doors and gates are always checked, and pets are supervised with their safety and comfort in mind. When caring for pets in your home, I’m equally respectful of your space and privacy. My goal is simple: for you to feel completely confident that both your pet and your home are in responsible, caring hands.
“Sage did a wonderful job taking care of Licorice! He managed to deal with our apartment instructions and make sure our pup had his trips to the bathroom! I look forward to booking with him again!”
“Gary took care of my dog Artemis for dropping in care for seven days. He was on time followed instructions I left for him exactly and even sent me adorable pictures of my dog every day. Gary made me feel completely at ease, leaving my dog. He’s very personable and kind person who truly loves animals.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Novelty
Excellent service; very professional, caring and reliable mother/daughter team. They made friends very quickly with our very shy rescue cat. They take good pictures and send detailed information on how the cat is doing. We look forward to reading their comments on the Rover Card. This is our second time using them, and we will continue in the future. We highly recommend them!
Alina was an absolute dream come true, and we feel so lucky to have found her. From our very first meet and greet, it was immediately clear how knowledgeable, professional, and comfortable she is with animals. Our dog is high energy and usually shy and skittish with new people, but Alina connected with her right away. She even tried a few commands and tricks during the visit, and our dog responded instantly - something we rarely see with new people. That alone gave us so much confidence. Even our typically reserved cat came right up to her, which told us everything we needed to know. Alina went above and beyond with communication. She took the time to clearly outline the plan for multiple drop ins and an extended overnight stay, and she provided thorough daily updates with photos that gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. What stood out most is that it truly felt like she enjoyed spending time with our pets, and they clearly enjoyed her too. That kind of care and attention is priceless. When we returned home, not only were our animals happy and well cared for, but our house was spotless. She took care of everything in a way that allowed us to fully relax on our trip and come home without a single worry. We cannot recommend Alina highly enough. She is reliable, professional, kind, and incredibly attentive. We will absolutely be booking with her again.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Novelty is $24 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $18 and $37 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 11,106 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Novelty. 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 Novelty. On Rover:
- 85% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 90% 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.
