“Sarah was super communicative and our little cat loved her! Left us great information (and photos) of her visit and was easy to work with. Made our cat feel loved and kept us at ease!”
“I just moved to a new neighborhood and Kenneth is such a great find! He did such a great job with my two cats while I was away for a short trip and I will definitely book him again. He seemed to win over even my slightly shy and skeptical cat in just a few days haha. He took great pictures and was very responsive. He also helped retrieve a package that was delivered to the wrong place in the apartment complex while I was away.”
“Kennedy was super helpful in dropping in to visit Hopper when I was out of town for a few days. She was reliable and communicative, will definitely be booking her again and would recommend!”
“I can’t give Carter enough stars! Best sitter to our cat Zoey! ❤️ I know every time we have to go out of town that our sweet kitty will be well taken care of!”
“Jana is great! She sends pictures and relays a story of how they are doing which lets me know they are being well cared for. My boys 🐱🐱 have taken to her with no problems.”
“Val was very nice and super responsive! This is my first time using Rover and was hesitant to have a stranger come into our home but felt at ease after reading reviews and meeting ahead of time. Highly recommend working with Val!”
About: I have had cats for a long time and I have taken care of kittens, adults, and very senior cats. All kitties have different personalities and preferences, hence I take care of them on their terms and make sure they are happy and stress-free. My weekdays and weekends are flexible and I can fit your cats schedule into mine. I can do up to two visits a day to take care of your feline. I am comfortable taking care of your precious companion in their own home on their own terms. I am experienced in grooming cats, medicating them and playing with them. I will take pictures and write a note about how your kitties are doing every time I visit so you know how they are doing.
“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:)”
“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.”
About: Hi, I'm Ross. Living in the heart of Downtown Seattle between Pike Place Market and the Waterfront, I know firsthand that city walks require a lot more than just holding a leash. I am the proud owner of two large rescue dogs from Seattle Humane, and they have taught me everything I need to know about expert dog handling. For the past 8 years, I’ve been navigating the busy downtown streets with Finn, my 9-year-old Doberman/Lab mix. He is a big, joyful bundle of excitement who loves to pull on his leash. In fact, he’s convinced he personally owns the entire territory from our neighborhood all the way up to Interbay! I also share my life with Charlie, a 5-year-old Hound who prefers a slower pace—he loves to suddenly "apply the brakes" and cautiously take in his surroundings. I am available 7 days per week. Located right downtown, I am perfectly positioned for evening and midday walks and drop-in visits while you are at work or away for the day. Whether your dog needs a high-energy trek along the Waterfront to burn off energy, or a patient, slow sniff-walk nearby, I’d love to give them the exact care they need! Because of Finn and Charlie, I don't just walk dogs; I actively read their body language and adapt to what they need. * For the Excitable Pullers: Thanks to Finn, I have the physical strength and patience to safely manage strong, eager pullers without getting frustrated. I know how to keep a dog focused and safe on crowded city sidewalks. * For the Cautious & Stubborn Pups: Thanks to Charlie, I know exactly how to handle dogs who get nervous, freeze up, or drop their anchors. I never rush a cautious dog; I use patience, gentle encouragement, and positive reinforcement to make them feel secure. * True Rescue Experience: I understand that rescue dogs often have unique quirks, anxieties, or reactivity. I am incredibly respectful of their boundaries and will follow your specific training cues to the letter.
“It’s such a relief to have a trustworthy and responsible pet sitter taking care of our fur babies when we’re away. During our Christmas vacation, the fire alarm ran out of power and started beeping nonstop, which really scared our cats and kept them from eating and using the litter box. We reached out to Kevin, and he was incredibly responsive and quickly came by to fix the issue. We’re so grateful for his reliability and care. Highly recommend and will definitely book him again!”
About: As a lifelong pet owner, caring for animals is one my favorite things to do. I treat every furry guest like a member of my own family. I am entirely comfortable sticking to your pet's unique daily routine, including any special accommodations they might need to feel safe and happy. Best of all, I know the stress on you of being away from your babies! You can expect regular, and steady stream of picture checkins throughout the day. Your peace of mind is my top priority, and I will make sure you never miss a single tail wag while you are away. I am lucky enough to work full time from home, which means I am at my laptop and available for your pet all week long. Your furry friend will enjoy constant companionship, easy potty breaks, and plenty of desk-side cuddles. When providing care in your home, my top priority is maintaining your pet's comfort while fully respecting your space and privacy. Since I work from my laptop, I can easily replicate their normal routine in their own secure environment while leaving your home exactly as clean and tidy as I found it.
“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 ◡̈”
“Dalara and Jack were great! They checked in on our two cats while we were away for the weekend. They were communicative and sent us updates and images. We’d love to have them look after our cats again!”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Seattle
I feel the genuine care that Marie has for Neo everytime she watches him! Her attention to detail, consistent communication, and hilariously funny pet photos/videos has helped me feel better when I’m away from Neo. She proactively goes above and beyond. I would and have recommended her to anyone who needs cat sitting.
Shelby was very communicative, responsive, and timely. Our two cats warmed up to her quickly on the first meeting. The photos we received towards the end of our trip show two desperate cats begging for pets, high praise from them. Her key drop box absolutely made leaving and returning to town less stressful.
OMG Ajita is amazing. Above and beyond what I expected from a pet sitter. She's so good about communication both before and during the sitting time. She was really good about making sure expectations were clear in both directions. She updated us so well during our trip, let us know about what was going on with our cat and our apartment and offered to do things that were beyond my expectations. From the pictures it was clear that my cat loved her visits too. Will absolutely work with her again. What an amazing person. You should also work with her.
Angela took great care of my cat, including administering medication, which I was pretty anxious about. She handled it all calmly and was completely in control, and her communication throughout was excellent. Reliable, caring, and easy to trust. Highly recommend.
Julie was quick to respond to messages and extremely helpful throughout the entire process. I felt very comfortable while I was away knowing my cat was in good hands, and the regular photo updates gave me peace of mind. My cat looked happy and well taken care of, and I would definitely recommend Julie for pet sitting!
Katherine B. Took the time to get to know our two cats. The pictures and daily communications were welcome, especially after some very poor experiences with cat care. The house was clean, the cats content, and she even brought in unexpected packages and mail. We will definitely hire her for any future needs!
I had such a great experience having Yiying watch my cat, Ari, again! I felt really good knowing Ari was with someone I trust while I was away for an extended trip. I especially loved all the video updates and seeing how much time she spent playing with Ari and giving her attention and affection. She did a great job keeping up with everything Ari needed and keeping me updated throughout the trip. I really appreciated how much care she put into looking after Ari. She really went above and beyond for her. When there was an unexpected issue getting into my apartment one day, she went out of her way to come back later that day to make sure Ari was taken care of. I really appreciated the extra effort and how dependable she was. I’ll definitely continue booking Yiying for future trips!
I was very happy with the service Sunny provided and could rest easy knowing my kitties were under her care. She went above and beyond a simple check in, and even provided pictures of both cats for each visit. I would highly recommend her to anyone, and will be booking her for future cat care.

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.

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 .

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 .
