About: I'm a software engineer working from home looking to break up my day with some exercise. You will find me to be reliable and communicative. I love dogs. I adopted Wally from shelter 10 years ago, and he's been getting 10k steps a day ever since. I frequently care for friends' dogs, and would love to help yours get out more. I'm a freelance software engineer with control over my schedule and a very predictable routine. I can accommodate walks almost any time during the day with a little notice. I live in an apartment in SLU with a very high energy beagle. I know how to keep him stimulated and and well exercised. We know all the parks and neighborhoods nearby and where to get a drink of water on a hot day.
“Mariia is so thoughtful and takes such great care of Miss Kitty. She’s alway relaxed and calm when I get home. Really appreciate Mariia’s great care and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her for your pet’s needs!”

About: hi! i'm a part-time grad student living in capitol hill and i've been surrounded by animals my whole life. i volunteer with seattle humane and have two rescue dogs, including one senior and one i've raised since he was a puppy who has anxiety and reactivity, so i'm very comfortable caring for pets with different personalities and medical needs. (i promise i will get your pet to take their meds!) i’m available most times most days so please hit me up anytime to watch, check in, or walk your pet! i keep my calendar updated daily with any changes. my grad school classes also do not begin until mid-September, and those are only at night a few times a week. i'll treat your pet like my own, keep you updated while you're away, and of course send lots of cute photos. i have reliable transportation and would love to help with walks, drop in visits, or pet sitting anywhere in seattle!
About: I was raised in a house filled with rescue animals, and have loved all kinds of creatures since I was young. I have two sweet cats, one I've had for 13 years and another that I just recently rescued from a beach in Belize and have brought home. I'm great with dogs and cats of all types, and have neverending patience when it comes to making a new animal friend. I can also help with other pets if given direction. I have been a trusted caretaker for my friends and family's animals for years, and can give medicines, feed, clean and bathe when necessary. Very willing to take your dog (or cat) on a nice long walk, or hang out with them at your home! I work part time and from home so I can be very flexible on any scheduling needs you may have. Just message me and we'll find something that works! I will keep your fur babies so safe! From making sure all doors are kept closed tight, leashes and harnesses are secure and all food and medicine protocols are followed. I am very aware of treating all animals and homes with respect, kindness and care and promise to keep them safe. I'm also smoke/alcohol/drug free and very reliable and organized.
About: I grew up on a farm with all sorts of animals, including dogs and cats. I’ve had pets most of my life. Most recently, I had Sparky for 10 years… he was at the center of my world until he passed away from cancer. Now I’m taking care of others’ pets before I decide to bring another doggo into my life. Prefer house sitting, drop ins, and walking, though I could bring your pet over to my place for short periods of time. I live downtown and can walk, take public transit, or drive if need be. I work at the UW and generally work from home on Fridays. With advance notice, I can make my weekdays a bit more flexible. I will make sure your pet is comfortable, giving them the regular walks and attention they need, and following any food and medication schedule you might have.

About: I've always loved dogs and have helped out friends by watching their pups whenever they need a hand. I have a goldendoodle of my own at home, so I'm great with the high energy pups but I'm just as happy keeping things calm and sticking to a regular routine for most. From the energetic to the shy, I can adapt to different needs and personalities. Communication is important to me, and you can expect timely responses and updates so you always know how your dog is doing. I would appreciate if you could let me know in advance the quirks, fears, or anything else that I should be aware of about your pup. I'm happy to customize walks that match your dog’s routine, be it more exercise, less exercise, or anything in between. Your pup’s comfort and safety always come first. I'm home full time and have a flexible schedule so I will have plenty of time to shower your pup with lots of love and attention. I live in an apartment with pet amenities and I live by lake union. I could walk the dogs in the parks or neighborhoods nearby.

“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!”

About: I am so excited to care for your pets! I grew up in a house full of furry friends, so caring for them is second nature to me. During the last five years that I lived in Bozeman, MT, I became an experienced pet sitter and quickly became the go-to person for friends and neighbors whenever they needed someone reliable to watch their pets or pop in for check-ins. I’m working towards getting a bigger place and being able to adopt a pet of my own one day, so getting to hang out with your animals is truly the best part of my week! Because of that, your pets will get my absolute undivided attention, tons of affection, and the same care I’d give my own pets. I’m currently a law student, so my schedule is way more flexible than the typical 9-to-5 worker. I study from home a lot, which means I have plenty of availability throughout the day for midday drop-ins, flexible potty breaks, or just keeping your pet company. I am also totally focused on hitting my 10,000 steps every day, so you can count on your pet getting some excellent walks. Whether your pet needs a structured routine during the day or just a reliable buddy to break up their afternoon, I can easily fit them right into my daily routine! When it comes to caring for your pet, my top priorities are safety, trust, and following your routine or schedule. I really appreciate clear, detailed instructions, so if you need things done a specific way, I will follow any rules and schedules exactly as they are written. I am a big believer in communication, so you can expect regular updates and photo check-ins from me so you always know how things are going. If I am house-sitting, I will treat your home with total respect.
“Chris is very reliable and communicative. I know he will take good care of my rambunctious puppy, and give him some nice playtime. And Archie loves to see Chris!”


About: I have hands-on experience caring for a wide range of animals, from energetic, high-maintenance breeds like huskies to senior cats who need a gentler, more attentive approach. I understand that every pet has a unique personality, routine, and comfort level, and I adapt my care to meet those individual needs. Whether it’s keeping up with a high-energy dog’s exercise needs or providing calm, patient companionship to older pets, I focus on creating a safe, stress-free, and loving environment while you’re away. I work part-time, which gives me plenty of flexibility and time to provide attentive, loving care for pets throughout the day. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, cuddles, or sticking to your pet’s routine, I’m able to give them lots of attention and companionship. I also offer boarding, so your pet can feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in a home environment while you’re away! Creating a safe, trusting, and comfortable environment for pets is very important to me. I take the time to learn each pet’s personality, routine, and needs so they feel secure and cared for while you’re away. My home is clean, calm, and pet-friendly, and I always prioritize supervision, patience, and positive interactions. I also provide regular updates and communication so pet parents can feel confident knowing their furry family member is in good hands.
About: I have a lot of experience with elderly dogs. The last dog I adopted was 16 years old when I picked him up from the shelter; he had been left there over COVID and he required a lot of nail care, tooth brushing, and regular bathing. I have patience for older dogs and I think that they're just as precious as puppies. I work events security/wedding catering and tend to only really work Fridays-Sundays but I have availability on the weekends sometimes. I am able to share screen captures of my schedules while coordinating or setting up longer term care schedules I will keep the owner updated with photos and periodic text messages to let them know how their pet is doing in my care as well as try to plan ahead and keep clear communication throughout
“Dalara took wonderful care of my cat while I was out of town. My cat is normally super shy and won’t come out for strangers but actually warmed up to Dalara and came out to hang out! Dalara is great and super responsive. I would definitely recommend her to anyone!”

“Manna took care of Panda for over 5 weeks, 2x a day. She was conscientious and had detailed updates on his habits every visit, especially when noticing any changes in diet and behaviour. I felt she cared for Panda and Panda loved her company. He will definitely miss her, until next time!”

About: I grew up taking care of my dog and a bunch of family friend’s dogs. I have dealt with dogs of all sizes and ages. I have spent a lot of time with dogs that are smaller sizes, but I recently have spent more time with larger size dogs. All are welcome and I love spending time with dogs that either want to play or want to just nap on the couch with me. I’ve dealt with senior dogs that need medication or medication for their skin. I have dealt with dogs that need special dietary plans with supplements. I can help wherever you need me! My schedule right now is pretty flexible with Wednesday being the only day I have to go into the office for work. I am open to working Wednesday night if needed, but I won’t be able to get your place until after 6pm. I like to take care of the house like my own if I am staying with your animals. I like to keep the area tidy and plan to clean up any messes made by myself or your pet. I will make sure to listen to any concerns you have with your pet and will watch them while they are outside. My goal is to have clear communication so you are at ease about me pet sitting!
About: Animals are my favorite company! I have experience caring for both cats and dogs, from quick drop-ins to longer stays, and I’m open to all kinds of pets. I love getting to know each animal’s personality—whether that’s going for walks, playtime, or just hanging out and relaxing together (movie nights included if they’re into it lol). I’m flexible with scheduling, available most weekends and adaptable during weekdays. I live in Cap Hill and have my own car, so getting around is easy. I’m happy to help with drop-ins, walks, or overnights and keep your pet’s routine as normal and stress-free as possible.” I currently work a full-time hybrid schedule, Monday through Thursday in-office in Northgate, with one remote day per week and weekends off—my remote day is typically Fridays. I’m flexible and available for visits before work, during lunch (depending on location), and anytime after work in the evenings. I’m more than happy to work with you to find a schedule that best fits you and your pets’ needs. It’s important to me to be patient and understanding with pets, especially since I’m a stranger in their home. I truly believe each pet has its own way of being cared for, and my goal is to mirror the way you would care for your fur babies, because they deserve nothing less.

About: Not only have I had a multitude of cats, dogs, and a variety of small rodents and reptiles my entire life I work at a Doggy Daycare as well expanding my knowledge on properly caring for our furry friends! I trust my complete confidence in animal care, behavior, and training to ensure all of our kiddos will remain happy, healthy and taken care of to the utmost potential! I do currently work Full Time at a Doggy Daycare in the downtown Seattle area and I have for the past five years! I adore all breeds and sizes and love to fit all types of pet care into my routines. It all works out as I fit most of my Rover work on my days off or am able to stop in about every 3 hours during my 8 hour shift and do a potty break/play break for a bit! I have plenty of space for your lovely pup/pups to play as well as my own puppy who loves other dogs and would love a friend! As well as taking him on walks with your dog as a way to get out on a fun little outing with a buddy. A wide variety of one to three ingredient treats as well as allergen safe treats (will always check with parents first!) for a fun little snack.

Mei did an amazing job sitting our 3 pom chi pups. She offered excellent communication, great photos, and attentive care. The pups loved her. There is nothing like the peace of knowing your furbabies are in good hands when you are away. Definitely recommend and will book again! Simply amazing. Thank you.

Navy is the best sitter I've ever had! She really goes above and beyond. I was nervous about leaving my dog who recently had surgery, but Navy made me feel so comfortable because she clearly loves pets and knows how to care for them. She even graciously offered to make another visit when my return flight was delayed. Would highly recommend Navy to anyone looking for a sitter, especially if your pet has any special or medical needs.

Caitlyn watched Koda, our 5 year old Australian Shepard, for a long weekend and we could not be more appreciative. Even with a last minute request, Caitlyn was super kind and communicative with us, spent lots of time with Koda and took him on lots of walks, and kept us updated. I’d love for Koda to be in her care again, and would recommend her to any dog or cat owner looking for some help!

Megan did an amazing job dog sitting for my border collie Kepler! This was my first time using rover and she met up with us ahead of time so Kepler could get to know her and she gave him lots of pets and love. She is a good communicator which made logistics easier and took lots of photos of him and nice updates to send to me!!!

Machele is an excellent dog walker. She’s professional, punctual, and asks detailed questions about our dog to ensure excellent care is given. We will be using her services again for both walks and the next time we go on a trip. Cannot recommend enough! Thank you, Machele! 😁

Heather is amazing with Obi, who we adopted during Covid. She quickly became our “dog whisperer” and was instrumental in curbing many of his obnoxious behaviors. Socializing him with her dogs and others in his care was so helpful too. We know she cares a great deal for the dogs she cares for and feel confident leaving Obi in her care.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Seattle stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Seattle choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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.

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 dog, 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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Seattle with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
