About: I’ve been a dog lover my entire life and have always considered my dogs part of the family. While I’m new to professional dog walking, I have years of hands-on experience caring for dogs, understanding their individual personalities, and making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable. My Boston Terrier, Daisy, was the love of my life. We were lucky enough to have 10 wonderful years together, and she taught me just how special the bond between a person and their dog can be. Because of her, I understand that trusting someone with your dog means trusting them with a very important member of your family. I’m dependable, attentive, patient, and genuinely excited to spend time with dogs. I’ll take the time to get to know your pup, learn their routines and preferences, and make sure they receive the same love and attention I would want for my own dog. Whether your dog needs a leisurely walk, some playtime, companionship, or simply someone who will give them lots of attention while you’re away, I’d love the opportunity to help! I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give your pets the time and attention they deserve. I’m able to work pet care into my daily routine and can be flexible with walks, drop-in visits, and pet-sitting needs. I’m dependable and like to plan ahead, so I’ll make sure your pet’s routine is followed as closely as possible. I’m also happy to accommodate their individual feeding, walking, playtime, and medication routines when needed. I know pets feel most comfortable when their normal routine stays consistent, so my goal is to make your time away as stress-free as possible—for both you and your pet! When caring for pets in their home, I treat both their pets and their home with the same care and respect I would want for my own. I follow their normal routines as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, potty breaks, medications, and any special instructions. I take time to get to know each pet’s personality and comfort level. Some pets want lots of attention and playtime, while others need a little more space and patience. I never want a pet to feel rushed or uncomfortable, so I let them set the pace while making sure they feel safe, loved, and cared for. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages during visits so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy and doing well. I’ll leave your home clean and tidy and make sure everything is just as I found it when I leave.
About: I have taken care of many dogs, best ever was a pit. Currently have a needy frenchie with special needs. He's my fur baby prince. I can do morning, lunch time and evening check ins/walks/playtime. Longer weekend visits to bond and play. Just want the lovies to be so loved. My fur babies will stay at home while I come give all the loves to your babies while you are out and about, I will love them like mine.
“This was my first time using Xenia. She stayed at my house and took care of my cat, Cora, for 8 days. She sent me pics everyday. She notified me when Cora’s ear needed attention and she had vomited twice, so that I could let her know what I wanted her to do. And my house was in amazing condition when I returned. I will definitely use again.”
About: Hello! My name is Emma Brown and I work in the outdoor field hoping to work with wildlife in the future. I have always had dogs in my household growing up. Ever since I was young, I made it my job to teach my dogs tricks, make sure they don’t get into trouble, and give them the best home. At one point, my childhood dog had a litter of 11 chocolate lab puppies. I helped to raise them up all the way until they left for their new homes. I also watched other people’s dogs growing up. I have always made it my priority to understand each pet owners request and stick to that schedule. Prioritizing each dog’s safety and health has always been my biggest strength as well. This is what I love to do and I can’t wait to get to know your pets! I’m currently in between jobs right now and will have a lot of time to be with your pets. Depending on what you ask, I can take out your pets on walks, to be let out, or to just be around however long you may ask for. Just let me know what schedule you’d like me to fit into. I unfortunately can’t house your dog in my home. I can pet and house sit to make sure to keep their schedule as normal as possible. I always try my best to prioritize their safety and health, so only giving them their own food and treats is how I do so. I don’t feed my own pets my extra food scraps so don’t worry about that. Once you let me know of their schedule, I’ll follow it to the best of my ability. I would also love to know their mannerisms and quirks so I can best approach them and their care.
“Katie did an amazing job caring for our pets! She went above and beyond in doing everything possible to be there for them in bad weather, when it was difficult to get to our house. We are very grateful for her hard work and dedication. Thank you so much!!! Highly recommend!”
About: I've grown up with pets all my life on my family's ranch, where my dad and I specialized in training a wide range of dog breeds in bird hunting, hound hunting, herding, and general obedience skills. I am available on weekends and throughout most hours of the day during the week. I do work full time as a fish biologist, but my schedule is flexible and allows me to care for pets as needed to make sure they are always given proper care. I have a 2 year old golden retriever thats very friendly and playful. We go on walks twice a day and frequently visit dog parks. I also have a yard available for dogs to play in and use the bathroom.
“Stephanie is great with communication about our cats. Both our cats immediately went to her at greeting. We will have Stephanie watch our four-legged family again! She is genuine, honest and trustworthy.”
“Morgan & Tyler R gave excellent care to cat when I needed to leave for a few days. She was safe, fed, and well cared for. They sent me pictures and feedback of my kitty to know she was doing well. I appreciate the care they gave her.”
About: I got my first dog Ginger (Golden Retriever) when I was very young maybe about four or five years old. When she had puppies, I helped my parents take care of them. After Ginger, I grew up around several other dogs including Labrador Retrievers, a Schnauzer, Boston Terrier, Chihuahua, Great Pyrenees. I have had six years experience caring for my partner's Shepsky who is high anxiety including separation anxiety and when my mom is out of town for an extended period of time I care for her dog which includes medication administration. I currently work part time and have a very flexible schedule and the summer off from school so I can adapt to your needs as a pet sitter! When caring for pets in a client's home, I first like to conduct a meet and greet to learn your pet's specific routine with tasks like feeding and potty breaks and medications and scheduled administration if any. I will stick to this to reduce anxiety and excel at providing consistent communication with photo updates as needed. I also believe in respecting a client's home and belongings and abide by the "leave a place better than you found it" rule.
About: Whether you are coming home from a day of work or play, a weekend adventure or a well-earned vacation, you will come home to tired, happy and exceptionally well cared for pets. My name is Patricia and I have been caring for pets for over twenty years. I had my own pup for 10 blissful years and he was my world. Therefore, I passionately understand the importance of proper care for the four-legged members of your family. Having no children or pets of my own allows me to focus 100% of my time on yours, curating customized experiences, based on their individual needs. I am professional, reliable and have additional references to provide, if desired! I am a very active individual, usually covering 15 miles per day. I am centrally located in Spokane, and am willing to travel to you! I would be honored to give your pets a safe, fun and dependable experience while they are in my care. 100% available to craft a schedule that works best for each pet of yours in my care.

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
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.
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.
