“Lori did a great job taking care of my dog! She gave him lots of love and attention on her drop-in, made sure his needs were attended to, and stayed in communication with me. Thanks, Lori!”

About: Experienced Animal Caregiver | Dogs, Cats & Beyond Animals have been a major part of my life both personally and professionally. My experience includes pet sitting as well as professional animal care, including working as a zookeeper and later Head Zookeeper. I have cared for dogs, cats, birds, reptiles, rodents, exotic animals, and hoof stock, giving me experience with a wide range of personalities, behaviors, routines, and care needs. I know how important it is to have someone you trust caring for your pets while you're away. I take the time to learn each animal's individual routine and personality so I can provide care that feels familiar, comfortable, and consistent. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to plan my day around feeding times, walks, playtime, check-ins, and other individual care needs. I’m accustomed to caring for animals every day and understand how important consistency and routine are. I can also accommodate different schedules and spend quality time with pets rather than rushing through visits. I care for each pet according to their normal routine and their owner’s instructions, including feeding, fresh water, walks, litter box or potty care, playtime, enrichment, medications when needed, and plenty of individual attention. I take time to learn each animal’s personality and comfort level and never force interaction. My professional animal-care background has taught me to closely observe behavior, body language, appetite, and other changes that could indicate stress or a health concern. I prioritize safety, keep the pet’s environment clean and secure, and treat every client’s home with care and respect. I’m also happy to provide updates and photos so you know how your pet is doing while you’re away.

“We had to leave last minute for a family emergency and Ivana was super helpful, responsive, and easy going. She was able to accommodate a meet and greet prior to us leaving. She was understanding with schedule changes too. I would highly recommend Ivanna for your sitting needs.”

“I'm so thankful Nhu is one of our regulars. She's been so helpful and really cares about my pups. Recently I asked for a very last minute drop-in visit when my pup got sick--she was so accommodating and made it work into her schedule, stayed longer than she needed to, and even cleaned up his accidents. She provides updates after her drop-in visits which I really appreciate as well :) Thanks Nhu!”

“Savonne was a fantastic sitter for my dog. She followed instructions perfectly. She was very communicative, and also easy going. My Haru was a very happy girl when I came back to her. I would request again!”
About: I’m a naturally caring and patient person who genuinely loves taking care of others, especially animals. I’m great with puppies and have experience caring for dogs of different ages and personalities. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, keeping pets company, and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’ve always enjoyed caring for others, whether that means looking after children, animals, or helping elderly people. Being able to make someone or their pet feel happy and cared for is something I truly enjoy. I’m responsible, attentive, and happy to give your pet the time, patience, and affection they deserve. I’m currently settling into my new apartment and have a very flexible schedule, so I’m home most of the day and have plenty of time to give pets the attention and care they need. I’m available for walks, playtime, feeding, potty breaks, and lots of companionship. I’ll also be starting online school later in September 2026, which will still allow me to have a flexible schedule around pet care. Safety and comfort are always my top priorities. My apartment does have stairs, but I’m happy to carry your pet up and down them when needed, big or small. For potty breaks and walks, I always use a secure leash and harness and make sure pets are supervised the entire time. My apartment complex also has a small dog park along with plenty of grass and open space for walks and playtime. I’m very mindful of pet safety and make sure anything potentially dangerous is kept out of reach, including cords, small objects, food, and anything that could be chewed or swallowed. I also have a young puppy back home in Arizona who I helped raise, so I understand how curious and energetic puppies can be and how important it is to puppy-proof an environment. I’ll treat your pet and your home with the same care and attention I would give my own.
“We had such piece of mind having Shelli care for our Maisie girl. From the initial meet and greet, to the follow up communications, and then our first drop in last Sunday, we felt like we could take a deep breath and trust in Shelli. Our Maisie girl now requires heart meds 3x a day and they have to be timely, which typically leaves the mid day pill challenging, if you want a social life or have a work schedule that goes hay wire. She's professional, showed up on time, and I could tell from the meet and greet that she and our girl would be fast friends. Highly recommend!”

“This was my first time using Rover and having Ali take care of my cat while I was out of state was great! Ali was communicative and great with my cat! I would highly recommend hiring Ali 💯😊”

“Janine did a fantastic job caring for Wally while we were traveling! She was incredibly attentive, communicative, and patient throughout the entire process. Wally can be a little cautious and takes time to build trust with new people, and Janine was so understanding and willing to work with him at his own pace. Her patience, kindness, and dedication gave us so much peace of mind knowing he was in great hands. We truly appreciate the care and effort she put into making Wally feel comfortable and safe. Janine is wonderful, and we will absolutely continue using her services. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy sitter!”

“Chase is so great I don’t even know what to say! She’s great with my dog, and with me in all communication. She always takes amazing photos, keeps me informed and makes me feel ok about leaving my dog when I go to work because I know she loves to hang out with Chase.”

About: I'm a one-person pet sitting business committed to providing exceptional care for your beloved pets. I understand the special bond you share with them, and I treat each pet as if they were my own. Over the past 2 years, I have watched my friends and co-workers pets for them. Now I have my own business license and pet insurance to offer my services to anyone who are in need. My usual day starts with checking with clients pets in the morning and letting them out/feeding them, then during my lunch time I come back from work and let them out to go potty, in the evening I feed them then let them out one more time before I leave for the night. Sometimes my clients wants me to stay at their homes and I do for an extra charge. I have a dedicated area at my home for my client's pets. Then I always ask my clients for their veterinarian's contact information just in case for emergencies.
About: Hi there my name is Katie and I’ve been pet sitting/ housesitting for about 8 years now. I love what I do and I go above and beyond when it comes to taking care of your pet(s) and home. Not only do I provide top quality care and lots of cuddles and love for your pet(s) but I also bring in packages and mail, do walks, water any plants, take trash and recycle out to the curb, give plenty of updates with pictures if requested, and finally I will leave your home better, than when I first arrived. Im still available for housesitting this Christmas and I’m still available for housecalls so I would reach out soon to make sure that your home base is covered while you are away! Thank you to everyone ☺️ I will have the capability to work around the needs and wants that you have for your animals because I’m self employed with the ability to design my own schedule. I’ve been doing this for a long time and one thing I know is to go by the comfort level of the pets. Lots of times I’ve worked with rescue dogs who have a hard time meeting new people. In cases like those I follow the dogs lead. I am in their space, therefore trust must be built, some more slowly but in the end, I aim to keep everyone safe and happy.

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!

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!

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 .
