“April did an amazing job with our boy Jag the tripawd cat. He is leash trained and he showed her around the yard. She carefully took care of his litter box. No weird smells when we arrived home. Thank you April! We will book again.”
“Lynn was incredible! We needed last-minute drop in help with our large dog, and it was clear that Lynn knew just how to put her at ease from the first time they met. We feel so lucky to have been able to schedule with Lynn, and would trust her completely in the future with anything our pup needed.”
“Alex was prompt, communicative and took great care of the babies. We got pictures, a nice thorough update and everyone seemed happy when we got home. They asked great questions upfront to understand how to take the best care of our animals. We look forward to rebooking!”
“Rachel was fantastic, and I highly recommend her! She is great with our cat, flexible, and communicative. She did 3 drop ins for us, sent lots of pictures, and was overall a delightful pet sitter. We will definitely be asking her to pet sit for us again, and I cannot recommend her enough!”
“Shelli was fantastic! We booked her kind of last minute and our regular rover wasn't available. She was wonderful with our pup and he was very well taken care of by her. We will definitely use her again.”
“Angela is GREAT! Went out of town for a week and she cared for my kitties. They were all well taken care of and the litter boxes were clean. She even went above and beyond by putting the trash out. Thanks again Angela!”
About: I’ve always had a big heart for dogs and truly enjoy spending time with them. With plenty of free time, i’d love to dedicate it to walking, playing, and caring for dogs as if they were my own. Over the years, I’ve cared for Huskies, Poodles, and German Shepherds, so I’m comfortable with both energetic breeds and gentle companions. I am currently retired and have plenty of time to play to spend with your companions. My preferred hours are between noon-8pm but can certainly be flexible. I cannot host at this time; however, I am happy to bring your pets over for a little rest bream as needed. Home has a yard and fenced property
About: Hello! My speciality is taking your dog(s) for a good run/jog, and returning them happy and hungry, ready to conk out! At a pace tailored to their needs/abilities, I can handle any age/size and any energy level! I find that most dogs respond well to an energetic/playful pace, with minimal leash pressure/guidance, they want to GO. I always stay aware of where their attention is at, if they need a bathroom/scent marking break or a chance to investigate a good smell, or a panting breather (or if I do), I will of course cater to that! I Prefer 60 min sessions, 2.5-5 mile jogs depending on the dog's capability and neighborhood terrain. Comfortable with 1-3 dogs per run, it's easier if they are of similar pace, but I'm okay managing being pulled by the leader, don't worry, it won't transfer to dragging the slowpoke! 11 Years of experience, just new to this platform, curious how much it will help grow my customer base, what with a more open schedule this fall/winter. I know there are some Huskys, some Sheepherders,Mountain dogs and some Malinois that are dying to join me! I find these guys endurance carries further than the pure speed of the sprinter dogs, but of course all are welcome in hand! Prices are set with the jogging+ pace in mind, if just looking for a true Walking pace(usually for the elderly canines), I'm open to offering a lower walking rate. My schedule is fairly open at the current point in time, only a few credits worth of classes and recreational sports, otherwise if within a reasonable distance I should be available most days/evenings I do not offer boarding, my lease is a no pet lease, but in terms of dropping in to a client's home, I have pride in upkeeping the utmost integrity, and basically act as if under constant surveilance at all times, mainly by my own conscience, but likely by home security as well. I have nothing to hide in my behavior.
“Chase was absolutely wonderful from start to finish! She was very thorough with making sure that our 2 cats were not only fed, but entertained and loved while we were away. We received daily reports along with pictures. Chase made us feel very secure that our home and our babies were in good hands. I will be recommending Chase to all of my friends in the area when they need a pet sitter! Our girl Cinder is already missing Chase, and our boy Arthur at least came out for a showing when he normally runs and hides. THANK YOU CHASE!!!”
“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've had family pets since I was a child and gravitate towards dogs as an adult. I learned a lot about dog training as a puppy raiser for a service dog organization, in this role I fostered and trained a service puppy for a year! I love being in the outdoors and will often take dogs out on hikes or mountain bike rides. I work full-time, but only in the evenings and occasional weekends. My partner works a normal 9-5 so generally a dog would not be alone longer than 4-5 hours. We have a small/medium sized fenced-in backyard for play and potty breaks. I understand it can be anxiety inducing to leave your pup with a stranger, so I will communicate with daily updates/photos/videos to let you know how it's going. When pups are left alone I want them to be safe, especially being in a new space, so I will use a crate if that's something they are used to. I am fine with other arrangements too if you feel it is safe to do so.
“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!”
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.
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
“Lauren was fantastic. Great communication during the booking process and throughout the entire time she looked after Riggins. He was well looked after and she spent lots of time with him. Would absolutely book Lauren again in the future.”
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.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Renton
I can’t recommend Kseniia enough! I had an extend vacation planned and was really worried about my kitty while I was away. She gave thorough updates, cared for her like her own and had no problems giving my senior kitty the daily medication she requires. My daily photo updates really put me at ease and I came home to a happy and healthy kitty.
Hayley is an exceptional pet sitter. My kitties warmed up to Hayley quickly. They are normally very shy. I appreciate Hayley's attention to detail with their eatting and behavior patterns. She interacted with them each visit. She also reached out with questions and concerns. Thank you, Hayley!
Nicole took great care of my cat for drop in visits while I away for 2 weeks. She was attentive, quick to communicate, and thorough. There were some unexpected house-related issues that came up and Nicole even went the extra step to make sure my cat was safe. Thank you Nicole!
Kizzie always does an incredible job with our cats. We have cats with digestive issues, when that needs medicine each feeding, and an elderly cat. Not only does Kizzie take great care of their needs, but she will often go above and beyond. Highly recommend for anyone needing pet care.
Our cats loved Shuyao! She was so great at connecting with our cat who is really shy and doesn’t eat treats from strangers and somehow Shuyao was able to give her treats and make friends with her! Shuyao sent us really sweet pictures of them and took great care. Thank you again, Shuyao!!
We’ve used Kaelyn multiple times for drop-ins with our two cats. We’ll continue to book her every time we can! Kaelyn excels at photos and updates to let you know your fur family is doing fine, which takes so much stress off of being away from home. She’s the best.

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 .

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 .

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.
