About: Hello, I’m Jan! As the dog mom of two precious high energy dogs , I believe that a tired dog is a happy dog! ( & happy owner ) i would love to give your pup the perfect mix of exercise, mental stimulation, and affection while you are busy or away. If your dog is a high energy pup who loves a long walk & a game of fetch or a senior dog who prefers a gentle sniff and walk to explore the neighborhood, I am available to tailor every outing to their unique pace and personality. I am a NICU nurse who works long shifts and completely understands the trouble of leaving your dog alone for a while and would love to help others with that burden & dog parent guilt :-) I have a predictable work schedule up to 6 weeks in advance which makes it easy to work around other people’s schedule! I enjoy spending time outside ( even in the rainy season ) so I’m available pretty much all day on my days off from work! I personally have reactive dogs so safety is always my absolute priority. During walks I keep the dog on a secure, standard leash (no retractables for safety) and maintain full situational awareness of our surroundings. I never allow strange dogs to approach. For house visits, I double check that all doors and gates are securely locked when entering and leaving, and I always ensure your pet has fresh water and a safe space to relax before I depart. As a NICU nurse I am able to stay calm and act immediately In the rare event of an emergency My first step is to secure the pet to prevent further risk or injury. You will immediately be contacted as well as your preferred veterinarian. If it is a time sensitive issue, I will contact Rover's 24/7 Trust & Safety Support team for immediate backup and vet guidance while keeping you updated every step of the way.
About: I have been helping out with family and friends pets for about 12 years. I grew up with dogs and I have 3 cats now. I am a swim lessons teacher, so I have lots of am availability! I do not drive, so I bus and walk to all locations! I have done a total of 5 visits in a day so far! I firmly believe that outside time with a pet that hasn't had regular interaction with a person should be on a leash. I would hate to be in a situation where their safety or someone/something else's is jeopardized
“Maura was absolutely incredible and was so sweet to our girls. This was our first time using rover and Maura literally gave us the perfect experience. She was always on time, took care of the girls’ needs, and send us detailed updates! We loved that she took time to play with them and they warmed up to her quickly which gave us a lot of peace of mind. She was such a blessing while we were gone!”

“We booked Mary as our cat sitter last minute due to an emergency with our original sitter, and we are so grateful we found her. She handled our two cats incredibly well—she even made friends with our shy cat on the very first day, which is something we didn’t expect! Mary went above and beyond, spending extra time and effort to make sure our babies were comfortable and cared for. When we returned from our trip, both cats were relaxed, happy, and clearly well-loved. We would absolutely rebook Mary for our next trip and highly recommend her to our friends and anyone looking for a trustworthy, kind, and attentive cat sitter.”


About: I have taken care of my close friends and families many cats and dogs of different breeds and amazingly different personality types for at least the last 15 years. Who doesn't love an exuberant leg rub hello from a lovey kitty or a jumping puppy who loves to give kisses? However, keep in mind I do have a special skill set with both cats and dogs that are very unsure of new people. When I enter an animals home I actively ignore shy animals, sit quietly and let them come to me on their own terms. I have a strong understanding of those classic stress signals, the cute but warning whale eyes, the lip licking (and not because they are hungry) and flat ears. I am also versed in diabetic care for cats as well. I am comfortable with large breed dogs and have experience with German Shepherds and Bully Breeds. In addition I am willing to wear an N95 as needed for any immune compromised needs. Looking forward to meeting your adorable animals! I currently work week days but I am free in the afternoon and evenings Monday-Friday starting at 3:30pm and have open flexibility on most Federal Holidays, Saturdays and Sundays. I will be coming to you and your pet to provide the upmost familiarity and comfort for them. I have a calm slow approach and let shy animals come to me to acclimate. I am a pro at following specific instructions you might request because every pet is as unique as their people are and deserve the best. I am familiar with basic cat and dog first aid and have emergency vet numbers saved.

About: I have taken care of dogs for most of my life, as my family has always had multiple pets. Around 2017 while I was still in high school I started to care for my friends, families, and neighbors pets. I’ve been taking dogs on walks, caring for cats, house sitting and doing general pet care ever since then. I worked at a doggie daycare and boarding facility for a year and now I work at a vet clinic! My job is my biggest passion and I have learned so much. Animals are one of my favorite things, so I’d love to help care for yours! I work part time currently and my schedule changes frequently. I have some say within reason on when in a week I work so if you need specific days/times just let me know. If you are ok with flexibility on scheduling then I am a good fit for you! I try to treat your animal exactly how you would! If they need multiple bathroom breaks I’m there. If they need rigorous play I’m there. If they want to just hang out and cuddle? Sign me up!

About: What truly sets me apart is my calm, steady presence and my firm but kind temperament — pets pick up on our energy, and I strive to create a safe, relaxed, and positive environment for every animal in my care. Whether I’m reassuring a nervous rescue, setting gentle boundaries for an excitable pup, or coaxing a shy kitty out for treats and snuggles, I approach every situation with patience, and warmth. I believe in treating every pet like family, learning their individual routines, preferences, and quirks so they feel safe and loved while you’re away. I can’t wait to meet your furry companions and give them the care and attention they deserve! I am away in the morning for a few hours then I work from home the rest of the morning/afternoon. I’m able available to attend to their needs as they arise and provide plenty of attention, potty breaks and walks throughout the day — not just during quick check-ins. I am available to care for your pet in my home or your home depending on the service requested. Whether in my home or yours, I will feed your pet according to their feeding schedule, provide fresh water at all times, engage in play with them and clean up after them. In my home I am able to provide a quiet, peaceful, pet-friendly environment with a large fenced in yard to run around in. Inside I love to draw the blinds and give pets a cozy spot by the window to sunbathe while watching the people, pets and wildlife pass by. It is my motto to leave a space better than you left it so while in your home I will not only follow all routines and procedures as needed but I also like to tidy up after the animals and provide photo updates to put you at ease.
About: I've taken care of dogs and cats since I was very young. Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to take care of their loving animals. I grew up with cats however I have taken care of many dogs as well. I am an all around animal lover and would love it for you to trust me with your pet! I currently have a full time job, however my days typically end around 4:30. This gives me enough time to still do evening walks, sitting, and overnights as another way to destress and why not do that with a furry friend! I have the most free-time on weekends due to not having to be at work. Anytime with a pet is a great time for me! I live in an apartment however there are parks nearby that are dog friendly and perfectly safe and fine to go for a walk and get some fresh air. There are also areas by the water that are nice to walk around as well. As for cats my apartment is nice and spacious and they would have space anywhere to hangout and lay down for company, pets, and sun!

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Renton
Aidan was great with my standard labra doodle. He was able to handle a large dog quite well. We got daily updates with good notes and pictures. Aidan was very accommodating to our requests. They looked like they had so much fun together. We came home to a very happy pet. I would definitely ask Aidan to look after Ozzy again.

McKenzie has been watching our pets for almost a year now, and she is the best! She continues to go above and beyond for our animals and truly does care. We’ve had many times where last minute visits are needed and she is great at accommodating. Thank you as always, McKenzie!

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.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Renton choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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 .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book.

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 .
