“I couldn’t be happier with the care our cat received. Mariia is reliable, communicative, and clearly has a special way with animals. From the daily updates and photos to the thoughtful attention to our cat’s needs and quirks, everything was handled with love and professionalism. I came home to a happy, relaxed kitty - and a clean space, too! I recommend Mariia to anyone who is looking for someone they an truly trust with their furry family member.”
About: I’ve taken care of pets my whole life. I grew up in a house with four cats and got my own set of siblings quickly after leaving home. I’ve worked as a pet sitter and house sitter for several people. I have experience with administering medication and shy pets. Cats are like second nature to me. I’ve take care of a variety of dogs including: pitbulls, blue healers, golden retrievers, French bulldogs, and many more. If you’re looking for someone who is capable, caring, and experienced, I’m your gal! I work in full-time 8 to 3 Monday to Friday, but I’m happy to do morning and night visits. I’m trying to make a little extra income for my wedding and really appreciate any work that can help me towards my goal! 🤍 I will follow any instructions that you give me. At the end of the day it’s your pet and I’m gonna do what you think is best for them.
About: I've been caring for dogs for nearly 20 years. Growing up with three family dogs taught me how to care for pets through every stage of life. From daily walks and playtime to swimming, feeding, and plenty of affection. I also grew up in a neighborhood full of dogs and regularly walked, checked in on, and cared for neighbors' pets while their families were away. Friends and family have continued to trust me with their pets over the years, and for four years I lived with my roommate's dog, helping with daily care and treating him like he was my own. I'm comfortable following routines, adapting to different personalities and energy levels, and making sure every pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for. As a freelance photographer, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care. I'm typically available Monday through Friday between 11:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. for walks and drop-in visits, and I'm often able to accommodate weekend requests as well. Whether your dog is ready for a long walk or your cat just needs some company and care while you're away, I'll make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable. You can also expect thoughtful updates and plenty of photos during each visit. I know how reassuring it is to see your pet happy while you're away! I understand that inviting someone into your home requires trust, and I don't take that responsibility lightly. I'll always respect your space, follow your pet's routine as closely as possible, and care for your home with the same attention and respect I would my own. My goal is to make your time away as stress-free as possible for both you and your pet. Whether that means sticking to feeding schedules, refreshing water, cleaning up after walks, scooping the litter box, or simply spending quality time with your pet, I'll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for.
About: Hi, I’m Jessica! I have grown up with all sorts of animals: dogs, cats, rabbits, fish and cows. Currently, I am an Aunt to one energetic golden retriever and 2 cats. Over the past 5 years I have watched dogs and cats in the city for friends and co workers and would love to watch your fur baby too! I have experience with caring for dogs with anxiety and elderly pets. I am a pretty active person who loves hiking and checking out new places in the city. I work full time from home. Usually my work hours are set in CST so I start early and end early afternoon, leaving a very flexible schedule with lots of time and energy to spend with your pets! I am very easy to communicate with and love spending time outside. I am easy to work with whether it’s for a quick check in, walks while you are away or reliable boarding. I live in an apartment but there are fenced in pet areas on the property. I also own a vehicle to take pets to the park, drop off/pick up or sitting at your home. I have worked in hospitality for over 15+ years. I know exceptional care is all about trust, attention to detail, and personalized service. I’ll treat your beloved pets with the same level of care and dedication we provide to guests at our five star properties.
“Aubrey helped with drop-ins & walks while I acclimated to my new job, and she did really great with my dogs. They were both at ease whenever she would bring them back home. Would def recommend her to other pet parents!”
“Erin took the extra time to try to befriend my cat, she was able to get him to take his medication and though I'm sure the cat wasn't happy about it, it provided great relief to me that she was able to take care of him.”
“Kennedy did everything we could have asked for and more when checking in on our pups! She was responsive to our messages/requests and informative in her reports, even letting us know when she saw aberrant behavior that might indicate a sore. Would absolutely rely on her again!”
“Sarah was amazing and kept me updated throughout her visit. She even spent some time with my GSD brushing him to get the fluffs of hair out during this fun coat-blowing season :D Would absolutely hire again (and in fact, I did!)”
“Blake and her partner were fantastic while caring for our pups. She was incredibly communicative and provided detailed updates through the visit cards, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. She treated our doggos with so much love and attention and paid close attention to every detail of their care. Amazing experience and would recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!”
“Glad to find someone close by able to give Kitty some affection and took care to follow instructions, left my place secure. Was my 1st time using Rover! would use again”
“Kevin’s first visit with my shy fur babe went so well that I planned a last minute weekend outing knowing my kitty would be in good hands once again. This visit also went very well! My kitty remembered him right away and even hung out with him. Great photos and updates make me feel reassured that the fur babe is being well cared for.”
About: When I was a kid, me and my bestie were neighbors. We walked her dog together for years. I have been dog sitting for friends a lot. I have lived with a cat for 3 years, in the beginning it was my roommate’s ragdoll, and now my own Persian cat. I just finished an internship and waiting for the job offer to be available, so I am available all day. While taking care of my friends’s cat, I find myself enjoying this job. I used to be a biologist work in a laboratory, so I am very detail oriented and organized. I will keep your pets safe, as well as your home, always clean after use and lock the facility.
“Our cats LOVE Val! She went above and beyond to make sure the cats were fed and not bored. Val communicated with us throughout the entire weekend and it made for such a stress free trip. Super appreciate you, Val! :)”
“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 ◡̈”
“As usual, Marie provided excellent care of cheddar. After a recent move, cheddar was reassured to have her normal pet sitter visit. She loves playtime and snuggles with Marie.”
“Laurie was an amazing cat sitter for our two furballs. It was a bit short notice of a request, but she was able to easily handle drop-in visits, including managing two litter boxes while we were transitioning between litter systems. Great communicator and would definitely reach out again!”
About: I've loved animals for as long as I can remember and I’ve never lived without them. Over the years, I’ve raised and trained countless dogs, birds, and more litters of kittens than I can count. Currently, I share my home with Whidbey, my friendly male Ragdoll kitten. He’s incredibly social with both cats and dogs and enjoys an active social life with his furry friends. Right now, I have extra time on my hands as I prepare to switch careers—and while my husband has (wisely) vetoed my dream of turning our home into a zoo, pet sitting feels like the perfect win-win. Whether your fur baby needs cuddles, calm companionship, or a bit of playful attention, they’ll be in safe, loving hands with me. I can’t wait to meet them! I'm currently in a career transition phase, which means I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time and energy to dedicate to pet care. I’m home most of the day, so your pet will have lots of attention, playtime, and supervision—whether they're staying overnight or just dropping in for a visit. Pet care easily fits into my daily routine and is something I truly enjoy. From morning snuggles to evening play sessions, I'm here to make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and cared for throughout the day. Your pet’s comfort and safety are always my top priorities. In my home, I provide a clean, cozy, and pet-friendly environment where your cat or small dog can feel relaxed and secure. I closely monitor interactions, especially during meet-and-greets or first-time stays, and I’m happy to separate pets until needed to ensure everyone feels safe. My Ragdoll kitten, Whidbey, is very gentle and social—used to being around other cats and dogs. Whether they need space, extra cuddles, or quiet time, I’m happy to adapt. If I’m caring for your pet in your home, I treat your space with respect and keep your pet’s routine as consistent as possible. You’ll receive regular updates, photos, and check-ins so you can feel totally at ease while you're away.

Jaime has been our go-to cat sitter for a while now, and we couldn't be happier with the service. Extremely reliable, punctual, and professional, Jaime always provides excellent care and complete peace of mind whenever we're away. Highly recommended to anyone looking for a trustworthy cat sitter!
Almost at a loss for what to say because of how far this sitter exceeded my expectations. So incredible with my fur baby, was even teaching him to sit while I was gone. Sent so many pictures and videos and just doted on my cat, gave him so much attention and play time. Also cleaned up the apartment a bit while I was gone which I didn't ask for but super appreciated. Truly the best of the best and so grateful for everything
Sunny is our go-to cat sitter! She takes such amazing care of our cat while we are out of town, and sends the cutest photos and detailed updates at each check in. She even took him on a harnessed walk outside to explore! Thank you Sunny for all the love and care you show Toro every time 🥰
Zephyr's a sweetheart! My cat was shy at first and very unhappy about me being gone, but Zephyr still managed to get on his good side while I was gone. This was my first time hiring a sitter, so I really appreciate Zephyr coming over with their own checklist of things to discuss - half of which I hadn't even thought of before they brought it up. Thanks again for taking care of Bugaboo!
Huishan is wonderful!!! She is really thoughtful and clearly cares about our kitties! Our boy is usually a shy bean, but he opened up immediately at the meet & greet! She sent detailed updates every day, along with great pictures and videos 🥰 She is definitely a pro pet photographer! Every day we looked forward to her updates and photos, and we always smiled when looking at them. When we're away from home, knowing that she's with the kitties makes us feel relieved. She also took good care of our garden 🌿

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Seattle on Rover is $27.75 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Cat Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Cat Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 6,851 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 short introductory meeting between you, your cat, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Seattle. On Rover:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs

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 calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
