About: In my life I’ve worked for 2 animal facility’s/clinics. I’ve watched many dogs and cats in that time frame. I have a cat named Rupert, and a dog named Ollie. Im a big animal lover. Reliable, attentive pet care with regular updates, feeding, walks, playtime, medication administration if needed, and a safe, loving environment while you’re away. I’m also currently looking for a summer job so I have lots of availability/flexibility! Your pet’a safety and comfort are my top priorities. I provide attentive, responsible care in a clean, secure environment, follow all care instructions carefully, and maintain open communication with regular updates and photos so you can feel confident and informed while your away!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I booked Jade to watch my dog, Bear, from November 26th–30th, and she was amazing. She took excellent care of him and made the whole process stress-free. Jade kept me updated throughout the stay, sent tons of pictures, and always reached out if she had questions she’s a great communicator and clearly takes pet care seriously. Bear absolutely loved her, and it showed in every photo. I felt confident knowing he was in good hands. I will definitely be booking with Jade again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, attentive, and reliable sitter.

Kelly was awesome! She was professional for the meet and greet, and fantastic with our dog Lily. Lily can be a handful because she’s not good with other dogs, and large. Kelly was great managing that, and loving on her. Will definitely book with her again!

I want to thank Ciara for caring for Abby while I was away. Ciara was kind and attentive and informed me about Abby's well-being during every check-in. I would ask Ciara to help again next time if she is available.

About: I've been walking and caring for pets since I moved to Seattle three years ago. I've worked with a large, reactive, special needs american bully, a grumpy senior chihuahua, a springy ESS, an affectionate elderly bunny, and an adorably high strung chiweenie (all of which quickly became best friends). I also have my own kitty who loves outdoor adventures and interrupting a puzzle. I'm currently working on researching and practicing training techniques in preparation for a dog of my own. Excited to meet your friend!! I currently have open availability and can flex my schedule around your convenience whether that be a small check in or a week long vacation! I have a fenced back yard and live with two tiny dogs who love friends! I have a kitty of my own who is curious and reserved around dogs and is obsessed with befriending other cats. All house pets have lived with other animals from a young age and thrive with other furry friends. Happy to help with crate training if that's on your agenda. I have plenty of toys and live a short walk away from a lively park with lots of running room.

About: Ever since I was 6 years old I’ve had an unusual connection with dogs. They are my world. For some reason they always seem to find me. I’m the person you see on the highway going after a lost dog. I’ve had 6 dogs at once before. I can’t seem to say no to dogs needing a home. It’s my happiness. I have my own company and pick my own hours so I’m able to work around schedules to make sure I take care of the animals. I have a fenced in backyard, with two dogs right now that are very animal friendly and sweet. I have a 5 year old daughter who loves to help out with my fiancé.

Amanda is THE BEST. She notified me when she arrived and when she left. She also left sent tons of pictures and a very detailed description of her visit. You can tell she has a true love for animals. I know my Libby just loved her. She is knowledgeable about dogs and even shared a concern about my dog possibly having allergies based on her behavior. I will be a repeat customer for sure!

Kayla did an exceptional job taking care of our dogs and keeping us up-to-date on their behavior and welfare. We had not used a pet-sitting service before and were very happy with the care and enthusiasm Kayla showed on her visits to our home. She followed our instructions to the letter and went above and beyond our expectations in making friends with our dogs. We will definitely use rover.com again, because we know they were much happier at home than confined to a kennel at the veterinary clinic.

About: I care for every pet like they’re my own—because I truly know what that means. I’ve spent the past 4 years raising a labradoodle, 3 years with a golden retriever, and 2 years with my cat, so I’m experienced with different personalities, energy levels, and needs. I’m especially passionate about rescue animals. I volunteer with shelters and rescues, which has given me hands-on experience working with pets who may be shy, anxious, or still learning to trust. I bring patience, calm energy, and a lot of kindness to every visit. I understand that no two pets are the same. Whether it’s a high-energy pup who needs structured play, a senior dog who needs a slower pace, or a cat who prefers quiet companionship, I adjust my care to fit their personality. Your pet will get more than just a sitter—they’ll get someone who genuinely loves and understands them. Pet care is a natural part of my everyday life. I recently moved to Alabama from Texas, where I was a teacher, and I’m now a full-time dog and cat mom. Because of this, I have a very flexible schedule and can easily adjust my day to meet your pet’s needs. I tailor my care based on each pet’s routine, personality, and comfort level. I aim to keep your pet’s routine as normal as possible. I follow all instructions carefully—feeding, walks, and any special preferences. I make sure they get lots of love, enrichment, and companionship while you’re away. I also respect your home and keep things clean and secure. I’m experienced with different energy levels and temperaments, including shy or rescue pets, and I approach every animal with patience and kindness. My goal is for your pet to feel safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for at all times.

About: I offer pet sitting Monday through Friday from 6am-4pm (I can be flexible on the hours), as well as over night stays and weekend stays, and dog walking. I am comfortable around all breeds and sizes of dogs, as well as cats. I do prefer long term care (I will watch your pet same hours weekly) but am also open to one time care as well. I have a large fenced in back yard, a great neighborhood for walking and I will also allow the pets to stay inside as well. I do have a 4 year old who will be home during the summer but will be in school starting August but he is very good with animals. I look forward to hearing from you.

About: All my life I’ve been in love with dogs! I want to spend as much time as I can with them and meet new breeds and types. I have been doing this for 6 years now and I still love it like it was the first year! So what better way to do that than Rover! I will love your dog like it’s my own and spoil it like it’s my own child. I don’t have children yet but I think it was a good analogy. :) If you would like to talk with me on the phone I am happy to get the know the owners as well! I’m also pretty fit so even if your dog has a lot of energy I’ll be able to keep up for sure! I hope you consider me. Im currently working part time so I will have plenty of time to spend with your pup! We can go for plenty of walks and have plenty of play! I have a spacious apartment so your pooch will have plenty of space to run around and explore the environment. I will provide plenty of cuddles and attention to your pet as well while in my care!

Addison was so wonderful! She communicated well and sent lots of pictures of my baby. My cat is super weird but Addison did her best to get on her good side and eventually they bonded a lot. Super grateful and would use Addison again any time.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats for 10 plus years. You will not have to worry about your pet with me I will make sure to send you as many updates you want and by the end of the stay your fur baby will have a new best friend (: I’m currently helping clean houses during the week but I still have plenty of free time to help you with your fur baby, I will be able to rearrange my schedule as needed. I will make sure your fur baby has food and water, I go by the book when given instructions on how you want your fur baby taken care of, I don’t mind crating them but if you don’t crate them I am absolutely be okay with them cuddling up to me while we watch tv. I can do check ins so that way I can spend 30 minutes to an hour making sure your fur baby goes on a walk and has exercise.

About: Hi, my name is Charlotte, and I’ve been caring for dogs and cats for over 15 years. From playful puppies and kittens to senior pets needing extra TLC, I’ve had the joy of looking after animals of all ages and sizes. My experience includes daily drop-ins, feeding, walks, playtime, and lots of love. I’m also skilled at giving medications and following special instructions to keep pets happy and healthy. I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family—making sure they’re comfortable, safe, and cared for while you’re away. Whether it’s snuggles on the couch, long walks, or just keeping their routine consistent, I go the extra mile to ensure peace of mind for both pets and their people. currently work part-time cleaning houses, which gives me a very flexible schedule. This makes it easy for me to add in pet sitting jobs throughout the day, whether it’s quick drop-ins, walks, or longer visits. I enjoy balancing my cleaning work with caring for pets, and the flexibility allows me to be reliable and available when families need me.” I don’t offer in my home care at this time that may change in the near future but not at the moment. Thank you. Though
