“We’re so grateful to Sarah for taking such wonderful care of our cats! I loved getting her daily photos, videos, and little updates. She was always great about communicating and handled any accidents with care and understanding. It’s clear she genuinely cares about the cats she looks after, and that meant so much to us. We’d happily have Sarah watch our cats again and couldn’t recommend her more!”
“Carter was incredible, and deserves more than 5 starts! With a high sense of ownership and initiative, Carter proactively moved the air purifier for the cats' well-being, washed the kitties' water fountain and food bowl, and replaced the litter robot's waste bag - all without me asking! The cats loved Carter and I loved knowing they were in capable hands. Would definitely book again for a worry-free experience!”
“Bruce was great! He followed all instructions I left and really made an effort to approach my shy bunny in a calm, patient manner. Would absolutely book him again ◡̈”
“Tetiana is a steller sitter! She takes my shy kitty in stride and doesn't personalize it. She is timely, responsive, and thorough and I can't recommend her enough:)”
“Having Dale pet sit my cat was a great experience. She took good care of my cat while I was away for the weekend. Dale was thorough, punctual, courteous, and constantly kept me in the loop via daily updates and pictures. My cat is usually anxious in the beginning but with Dale he got comfortable pretty quick. I would definitely recommend Dale to others and would also be rebooking Dale for future sittings.”
“Margo is a dream sitter! She made sure Brutus had plenty of playtime, monitored his eating, drinking, and bathroom breaks, and didn’t hesitate to clean up any minor messes he made. Her visit updates detailed how she gradually got to know him a little more each time, and were so hilarious and full of personality that my friends were jealous that I had such a great caretaker. I’ll definitely be booking Margo again and encourage anyone else to do the same!”
“Jennifer was really accommodating and took great care of Spacey. Sent a bunch of updates too - would highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone to take care of their furry friends.”
“Savannah was timely to both the meet and greet and all visits. She communicated when one visit would be later and was flexible about me updating instructions after the 1st visit. Daisy Dip (cat) felt safe and comfortable and was surprisingly playful! Dip doesn’t usually play with new people on the 2nd visit, so I consider that a success :)”
“Alison has been an amazing sitter for my 3 cats! She provides thorough updates and photos of the cats from each visit. I’ve already rebooked her again! Thank you Alison!!”
“Our cat was so excited to see Marina again! They have become fast friends, and when Marina came over they had a play session almost the entire time. Marina was also super helpful and did a bunch of chores around the house (cleaning the water bowl, litter box, etc). She balances the needs of our cat Izzy so well! She’s always a pleasure to work with - she’s super communicative and asks great questions to make sure Izzy is taken care of the way we need! Highly recommend!”
“Very friendly and communicative! Went the extra mile by cleaning up after one of the cats had an accident, and also by cleaning the litter regularly. Also sends the best pictures! Would book her services again!”
“Shelby was a great sitter for my 3 cats. Very communicative and flexible with her schedule and helping administer oral meds for one of my cats. Would definitely consider booking her again!”
“Gabriel was a fantastic sitter to our two cats, Millie and Mango! He was very communicative and asked fantastic questions during our initial intro meeting. The cats can be tough to impress but Mango sat on Gabriel’s lap within 24 hours, which is a new record. I know Millie and Mango were in great hands throughout our weekend trip!”
About: Walks, playtime, belly rubs, and lots of love I’m here for all of it! 🐶 I genuinely enjoy being around pets and love getting to know each one’s unique personality. I’ll make sure your pup gets plenty of attention, exercise, and care while you’re away. 🐾 I have a consistent work schedule, so I’m mainly available in the morning 7-8am and evenings 6-8pm and flexible on my days off. I’m flexible with planning ahead and will always make sure I have enough time to give your pet plenty of attention and care. When caring for pets in their home, I focus on keeping them comfortable and maintaining their normal routine as much as possible. I’ll follow their feeding schedule, make sure they have fresh water, give them plenty of attention and playtime, and take them outside for walks or bathroom breaks as needed. I also pay attention to their individual personality and needs, whether they’re energetic and playful, shy and independent, or just looking for some extra cuddles.
“Jamilyn was communicative, punctual, and took great care of my cat, Kai. She sent daily updates and was respectful of my home. Kai had some health challenges earlier this year, so it was nice having the peace of mind that someone was watching him while I was gone.”
About: I’ve spent years working with dogs, from managing a daycare and boarding facility to caring for them in my own home. I’m comfortable with all sizes, ages, and temperaments, and I focus on creating a calm, well-managed environment where dogs can settle in quickly and feel comfortable. Animals have always been a big part of my life. I had a German Shepherd and Wolf mix for 15 years, along with a cat who was with me for over 20, so I understand how much they mean and how important it is to know they’re in good hands. I have a soft spot for senior dogs and make sure they get the extra patience and attention they need. My schedule is fully open and dedicated to pet care, which allows for flexibility with boarding and walks. I’m home throughout the day, so dogs get consistent supervision and attention, helping them feel comfortable and settled while they’re here. I live in a clean, well maintained apartment in Belltown, with easy access to great walking routes like the Olympic Sculpture Park, the Elliott Bay Trail, and quieter streets nearby for shorter walks. Inside, I keep the space tidy and free of hazards so dogs can relax and move around comfortably. I’m home throughout the day, which allows for consistent supervision and a calm, structured environment where dogs can settle in and feel at ease.
About: Experienced Care for Medium & Large Dogs • Downtown Seattle 🐾 I have spent my life around dogs and have hands-on experience caring for many different personalities, ages, and energy levels. Over time, I have become especially comfortable and experienced with medium and large breeds, including Shepherds, Retrievers, Huskies, Pointers, Bulldogs, Boxers, and other active working or sporting dogs. I’m comfortable handling strong dogs on leash, structured walking routines, feeding schedules, oral medications, senior dogs, and dogs that need a calm and confident person around them. I especially enjoy dogs that like to walk, explore, play fetch, and spend time outdoors. I pay close attention to each dog’s body language and personality rather than treating every dog the same. I live in First Hill, just minutes from downtown Seattle. Because I live in an apartment without a private yard, dogs staying with me receive structured outdoor walks and potty breaks throughout the day rather than simply being let into a yard. I keep my bookings limited so I can give each dog plenty of individual attention. Boarding stays of 2 nights or more include complimentary brushing to help keep your dog fresh and comfortable. 🐾 About Senel I’m retired and home full-time, which allows me to build my day around the dogs staying with me. I have a flexible schedule and am available seven days a week. I grew up in Turkey in an environment where dogs and other animals were part of everyday life, so caring for animals has always felt natural to me. My style of care is calm, attentive, and structured. I follow feeding instructions, medication schedules, walking routines, house rules, and safety instructions carefully. I also enjoy sending owners regular photos and short videos. I know how reassuring it is to actually see that your dog is relaxed, eating, walking, playing, and settling comfortably while you are away. For longer stays, my goal is not simply to “watch” your dog. I want them to develop a routine here and feel comfortable enough that my home becomes familiar to them. What I’d Like to Know About Your Dog Before booking, please tell me about: • Feeding schedule and portion size • Potty and walking routine • Medications or health conditions • Behavior around other dogs • Leash behavior • Food or toy guarding • Separation anxiety • Sleeping routine • Fears or triggers • Anything your dog should never do or be exposed to I particularly enjoy caring for medium and large dogs, and I’m very comfortable with active, intelligent breeds that benefit from regular walks, structure, and interaction. Every booking is considered individually so I can make sure your dog and my home environment are a good match. I'm retired, so pet care fits perfectly into my daily life I have a flexible schedule and I'm available seven days a week, morning to evening. I'm never in a rush between visits: your pet always gets my full time and attention. I already care for my son's dog here in Seattle every week, so regular visits are a natural part of my routine. All my visits take place in your home, where your pet feels safest. I follow your care instructions exactly feeding amounts, medications, house rules and I never let a dog off leash outdoors. I always make sure doors and gates are securely closed, keep your home clean and tidy, and treat it with full respect. After every visit I send you photos and a short update, so you always know your pet is safe, comfortable, and loved.
The median cost per visit for cat sitting in Seattle is $25
Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Seattle
Angela is the best! My cat doesn’t really like anyone, but he LOVES her!! It’s actually crazy how comfortable Leo is with her. She takes such good care of him; making sure to give him lots of chin and head scritches, fresh water, food (on time!), and cleans out his litter box. This is my second time booking with her and I will absolutely book again! I can’t recommend her enough!
Michael has been exceptional in everything. The cats seem to notice his strong absence because of how good of a time they had with him. We would highly recommend Michael for remarkable caring of the cats and our home. Litter cleaned, cats food, ensuring the water was clean and bowls were clean as well. Michael made sure that we were able to enjoy our trip by sending timely notes and photos during drop ins. Thank you so much Michael!!
Emily was a fantastic sitter for my pets while I was away. One of my animals had a sudden medical issue and she notified me immediately, returned to my home after her scheduled visit to check on him and ended up driving him to an emergency vet for me while I was out of town and communicated with me the whole time. I am very grateful she was there when he needed help. My other animals were also very happy and well cared-for when I returned home
Gabriel was very communicative and kind the whole time. I was pleasantly surprised in the meet and greet to see he had already looked at our cats’ profiles and was asking very good questions. Made me feel very comfortable to leave our cats for an extended time, knowing they will be in good hands. Our two cats seemed to be fond of him as well. When we returned home after 8 days, we found the place clean and everything in order. I would definitely recommend Gabriel and would work with him in the future.
Gina is so gentle and caring with my cats. They feel comfortable around her, come out to greet her, and even look forward to playtime. She’s easy to schedule and thoughtful about making reasonable decisions if I can’t be reached. She is also very respectful of my home. I recommend Gina to friends, and she remembers my cats’ needs between visits without needing reminders.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Cat Sitting in Seattle is $28 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $18 and $44 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 6,785 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Seattle. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.

- 86% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 93% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
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.
