“Maryia looked after my very shy and timid cat for three days. She was very communicative, professional, on time, and very considerate of my cat's fear of strangers. Would definitely book with Maryia in the future! Thanks again!”
About: I have taken care of both cats and dogs for friends, coworkers, and members of my community. From overnight care to just daily walks, you can rely on me to take care of your pets! If i’m allowed, i’d love to take your pups out on runs and/or hikes. I am currently per diem, so I have ample time to give to your pets. I am available to house sit and/or do stop byes and a pretty flexible schedule, on the occasional weekend, I would love to take your pup on a hike or run. I have 4 cats at home, each with their own litter boxes, food bowls and high spaces. We all love watching movies on the couch or playing with the string toy whenever we get the chance. Back at my family home we have two dogs who get to roam our property freely (a fence is guarding the perimeter). They don’t know how to play fetch, but love laying in the sun on a slow afternoon.
About: Over the span of my time in the animal care field, I have provided individualized attention to cats and dogs, big and small, young and old. Whether your pet has specific medical needs, behavior quirks, or just requires special attention and love, I treat every furry friend with the individualized care they need. Pet care is 100% my full time job! I currently work overnight shifts 2 nights a week at a pet boarding facility. You can reference my full availability here! 🐕 Walks (weekdays): 🐕 Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday 9am - 6pm, Friday 9am - 4pm. 🏠 Drop-in Visits (7 days a week): 🏠 Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Saturday 9am - 10pm, Friday & Sunday 9am - 4pm I focus on building a bond with your furry friend founded on mutual respect and trust using fear free and positive reinforcement based care. My services are customized to meet your pet's individual needs to put their health and wellness. Providing the care I would want my own pet's to receive is at the core of my beliefs.
“Samantha is a fantastic sitter! She is an excellent communicator, and her updates always made me laugh and feel reassured while I was away. She went above and beyond by opening the window to let fresh air in during an uncharacteristically warm day and offering to sweep after some overly enthusiastic litter kicking from my cat. She also played with my cat and gave her treats/pets, depending on what mood Pepper was in. I'd definitely recommend her to anyone!”
“Miriam was a fantastic sitter for our kitties. One of our cat loves attention and the other is a little slower to warm up, and she gave both the attention and space they needed to feel comfortable with her. Her updates were detailed and had great pictures that reassured us the cats were doing well. When we came home our apartment was in perfect shape and the cats were healthy and happy. We will absolutely be booking with her again when we need a sitter!”
“Jessica is my favorite cat sitter I've worked with since using Rover! She was extremely communicative, making sure I knew when she'd be over, and sent me tons of pictures/videos playing with my boys. She made an effort to accommodate my schedule with getting/returning the keys, and took the job on short notice. She even carried in a heavy Chewy package for me without me even asking her to. I will be hiring her again next time I'm out of town!”
“Rachel was great!! She was very responsive and took great care of Beau. She took lots of photos and gave really detailed updates. Will definitely book again!”
About: As a dedicated and attentive pet sitter, I go beyond basic care to ensure your furry friends feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. With a strong background in customer service and a natural ability to connect with animals, I provide personalized care tailored to each pet’s unique needs. Whether it’s playtime, exercise, administering medication, or offering extra cuddles, I treat every pet as if they were my own. I’m self employed and a homebody.

I understand pet behavior, routine needs, and the importance of a stress-free environment, making me the perfect choice for your pet care needs. Let’s make sure your furry family members are well cared for while you’re away!
“Michelle was a great pet sitter! It can usually take a few visits before my cat gets used to a new face, but Michelle showed up regularly for daily drop-in visits, and within a couple of days, my cat was playing and posing for photos. When I returned from my trip, my cat was in great spirits. It takes a lot of stress off going away knowing that I can count on Michelle to look after her and send updates.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs for about 9 years. My family raised our own puppy & I have dog-sat for neighbors as well - including walks, playtime, feeding & just hanging out! I am in the second year of my master’s degree at Seattle University & do part-time work for our athletic department, so my availability is a little all over the place depending on my schedule there! In client’s homes, I keep pets in my sight at all times. I practice safe dog walking & always give pets 100% of my attention & love keeping them entertained :))
About: I have been pet sitting for the last 6 years! I’ve watched puppies, chickens, gerbils, bearded dragons, cats and more! I love spending time with animals so you can feel safe that your loved ones are in good hands :) I’m at home full time Friday-Sunday and until 12 on Monday’s so I’m the perfect sitter for a weekend trip. Can’t wait to meet your animal! I live in a dog friendly apartment that is right on a park so we have so many great places to walk and trees to sniff!
“Molly did a great job looking after my cat, including giving him his medications. She was very responsive and was able to accommodate my last minute booking request. She her updates were great. Would happily book again!”
About: I have babysat many of my friends pets. I like to take them on walks because not only do they get their exercise I also get mine. I like to play with them and see them be joyful causing me to smile. My parents also own a dog breeding business and as a kid I would help them also so I know quite about dogs (puppies). Hi! I’m a professional caregiver with experience caring for disabled adults and geriatric patients. My work has taught me the importance of patience, compassion, attentiveness, and treating every individual with the same care and respect I would want for my own family. I’m also currently pursuing my law degree, and while my career goals are important to me, caring for animals brings me a completely different kind of happiness and joy. I genuinely love being around pets and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, companionship, feeding, medication reminders, or simply some extra love and attention, I’m happy to help! I understand that pets are family, and I’ll treat your furry friend like one of my own. 🐾❤️ I care for every pet with patience, attention, and plenty of love. I follow each pet parent’s instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications, routines, and any special needs. In a client’s home, I make sure pets feel comfortable and secure in their familiar environment while keeping their normal routine as consistent as possible. I also keep their space clean and make sure they receive plenty of companionship and attention. My professional caregiving experience with disabled adults and geriatric patients has taught me to be observant, dependable, and attentive to individual needs. I bring that same level of care to every pet I look after. My goal is for your pet to feel safe, happy, loved, and cared for while you’re away. 🐾❤️
“I booked Natalia again to take care of my cat, and once more she was absolutely amazing. She’s extremely communicative, takes wonderful care of my cat, and is incredibly sweet and trustworthy 🩷”
“From the moment Liberty walked into my home for the meet and greet, she was all about my dogs. She greeted them just as we would. Liberty came today for our first walking visit and she did amazing. My dogs loved her, she sent updates along the way, and we received some of the best pictures of our dogs! Liberty is great. We've NEVER had anyone take care of our dogs before, but Liberty made us feel confident and content to be out of the area for the day. Now we plan to do this more often! I highly recommend Liberty as your pet sitter. Thank you so much Liberty.”
“Leah is very detailed oriented and followed each thing I said about my dog... And being an over protective dog mom, that meant a lot to me! I also appreciate her promptness when responding to messages about booking and her honesty when it comes to availability.”

Roman is just wonderful with our German Shepherd. His communication is great, he’s super reliable, and always takes the extra time to make sure everything is taken care of. Our dog adores him, which is a real win. Overall, Roman takes a major stress out of travel because we never have to worry about our pup.
Kylie was awesome. Was available same day and very flexible and accommodating. Came to our hotel to hang out and walk our lab while we were at a concert. He loved it and so did we. Highly recommend - and will pre book with her next time in seattle for sure ! 🐾⭐️🐾⭐️🐾⭐️🐾⭐️🐾⭐️
Megan was an amazing dog sitter for my dog Kepler. She offered to do a meet and greet before her drop in visit and was very welcoming and friendly. She was very caring and considerate of Kepler and took lots of great pictures of him during their walk. I highly recommend Megan!
Paige and Payton are the best sibling power duo a pet owner could hope for. Payton (did the majority of the dog sitting this time around) has a really warm friendly energy and was so good with our energetic 75 pound puppy, she is OBSESSED and can't wait till they come back!! It was super reassuring to know Lucha was in your hands. Thanks so much guys.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Sitting in Seattle is $24 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $43 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 12,266 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Seattle. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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 .
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 , 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 .
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 , 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.
