“Jana is THE BEST. She is flexible, responsive, and always goes above and beyond when it comes your pet. Seriously makes going out of town so much easier knowing someone who really cares about your pets happiness is taking care of them.”
About: About Me I’ve always had a special place in my heart for animals. 🐾 I truly believe there’s something so amazing about the unconditional love and companionship they give us, and I love being able to give that same love and care back to them. I’m someone who is patient, caring, and attentive, and I’ll treat your pets as if they were my own. I enjoy spending time outdoors, going for walks, exploring new places, and enjoying the fresh air—so I’d love nothing more than to have a furry companion along for the adventure! Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles on the couch, or simply having someone around to make them feel safe and loved, I’m happy to meet them where they’re most comfortable. My goal is for you to feel completely at ease knowing your pet is happy, cared for, and getting plenty of love while you’re away. ❤️🐶🐱 I am flexible all day and can help meet whatever needs you need. Please let me know what I can do to save you time and get your furry family members the time they need outside I am happy to follow your animals routine and what you prefer. we can go for walks or play outside for a period of time to run out some energy!
“Abigail is amazing!! She was able to help me out and watch my cat last minute. She went above and beyond caring for him and I would definitely recommend her to anyone!”
“She was available last minute and very friendly with the pups. While I was gone, the pups made a bit of a mess (getting into trash and a bit of pee inside) that were left there. But I didn’t explicitly ask her to clean their messes, and she seems to have followed at least the primary instructions, so there’s that. Overall, pretty solid experience for what she charges.”
About: While I don’t have extensive professional experience caring for other people’s pets, I have been around animals my entire life. My family has always had either a cat or a dog, which has given me experience with the daily responsibilities of caring for pets and understanding their needs. I currently have open availability Monday through Sunday, from mornings through evenings. Since I am not working at the moment, I have a flexible schedule and am available for house sitting or dog walking for extended periods as needed. While I do not currently have any pets of my own, I am committed to providing a safe, comfortable, and caring environment for every client’s pet. My goal is to make sure they feel happy, relaxed, and well cared for while they are with me.
“Winston was kind and diligent and Toast clearly liked him a lot. He gave detailed updates, made sure she got her meds, and even tidied up after her. I felt like she was in good hands. Would definitely recommend.”
“Bétyna was attentive and meticulous! She sent me daily updates, including pictures of my cat eating and playing. This was after I expressed to her to that my cat has a habit of not eating without human interaction. I would happily book Bėtyna again without hesitation.”
“Tetiana helped with a very last-minute booking and CRUSHED IT. She followed the detailed instructions, was timely in her visits, and super responsive. I felt great knowing my very-shy kitty (who Tetiana never even saw! LOL) was in her care; I will definitely be rebooking with her. Thank you, Tetiana!”
“This was our second time hiring Mengyuan as a cat sitter. She took good care of our cats, and sent us pictures every day. She remembered details about each cat, like which one is shy and which one is on a diet. I felt very comfortable knowing a trustworthy and reliable sitter was watching our cats.”
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!
“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!”
“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”
About: I've own dogs and cats for most of my life. I grew up with a Golden Retriever who as the family dog lived for around 15 years named Zeek. I also took care of a rescue pointer my Mother saved named Sasha. She would often bring home new animals that I helped take care of while balancing work and school. Furthermore, when she got chickens I learned how to intimately take care of the birds including a few mean roosters. While I don't suspect I'd be taking care of many more chickens, I'm happy to look after any pet, exotic or otherwise. I work full time as a para educator at an elementary school. These hours generally look like 8am-4pm. Outside of work, I'm looking to get back into higher education but that's not likely for a couple months at least. Once I'm done with work, I can be anywhere else as needed. Depending on how much the pet enjoys human interaction is generally how I like to hang around. I've had cats that don't care for human interaction that simply need to be fed on a schedule. I have had dogs that love the company and I will stay with them for hours or even overnight. If preferred, I do like to stay in constant communication with the hosts. I take pictures of before and after I leave to ensure that if I do need to head out, everything is how it is supposed to be. I am happy to text as much as desired about how a pet is doing to help ease any anxiety.
About: Dog lover & lifelong hound fan! 🐶 I grew up with beagles and have always loved being around dogs. I’d love to be a dog mom someday, but the timing isn’t quite right yet—Rover lets me get my dog fix while giving your pup plenty of love, attention, and care! ❤️ I’ve worked the traditional 9–5, so I know the struggle of trying to fit in a happy, tired pup between meetings! Luckily, I’m conveniently located near major corporate offices and have a flexible schedule for midday walks. 🐶 For me, a walk isn’t just about racking up steps—it’s about letting your pup be a dog! I love a good “sniffari,” giving dogs plenty of time to sniff, explore, and take in all the neighborhood smells. 🌿👃 My goal? Get those zoomies out, give those curious noses something to investigate, and send your pup home happy and ready to snooze while you get back to work. 💻🐾 I’ll keep your pup’s routine consistent while making their time outside fun and enriching! 🐶 As an apartment dweller myself, I know how important it is for dogs to get out for regular walks, fresh air, and plenty of opportunities to sniff and explore. Expect lots of mental stimulation, playtime, and maybe a treat or two along the way! 🐾
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.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Seattle
My husband and I just moved to Seattle and needed a last minute dog sitter. We’re so glad we found Bryant! He went above and beyond to make sure she was happy and well taken care of while we were gone. Our dog can be a little nervous around new people, but Bryant was so patient with her and immediately put us at ease. He was great about communicating, kept us updated, and sent us the cutest photos along the way. We never had to worry about how she was doing, which meant so much to us. When we got home, she was happy, relaxed, and in the best mood! We’re incredibly grateful to Bryant for taking such great care of her and will absolutely be reaching out to him again. Couldn’t recommend him more!
Katie is a wonderful gal! Beyond her promptness and reliability, I most appreciated her attention to detail. Our Oskar is still just a pup, full of quirks and unpredictability, but she was on top it all the way. I needed her services as I was traveling, and she took all the concern and worry away so I could focus on my travels. Oskar was definitely in good hands.
Dorothy is dependable and detail-oriented. I appreciate that she makes sure she does the little things I've shared that make a big difference for Bentley, even if it's been a long time since she's seen him. I know I can trust Dorothy to take good care of Bentley. ☺️
Xuan has been watching our Yorkie since we brought her home at 2.5 months. Xuan is gentle, thoughtful, caring, and asks all the right questions to ensure our pup receives good care. She’s also a very kind human and someone you’d trust to care for your pup. I’m really glad we found her. It’s not easy to leave your dog in someone else’s care but I feel super comfortable knowing my Yorkie is in good hands with Xuan :) I was anxious about finding the right pet sitter but we hit the jackpot, thank you Xuan!!
Tiffany was amazing! We have never used Rover or a pet sitter before. She was fantastic with check-ins and provided so many updates on our pets. She was very responsive to any anxieties we might have had during our first trip away. She walked our dog and spent some extra time caring for our three cats. Our animals happy and healthy when we came home.
Rachael was fantastic from start to finish — kind, personable, attentive, diligent, and great with my dog, who is blind, medically complex, and on a medication regimen that requires thoroughness and attention to detail. Rachael handled it all like a pro, and we’ll definitely request her services again.

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. 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 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.
