About: I've had animals my entire life. Dogs and cats! I take care of humans in the ER, and want to take care of my preferred kind of babies (fur babies) on my days off! I'm an RN! So I am working 3-4 shifts a week which leaves plenty of time to take care of fur babies on my days off! I will take care of my clients fur babies in ways that are preferred by the client! If that's stopping in for play time, snuggles, walks, etc! I can do it all!
“Jennifer was great with our 2 cats! Both of my cats were well fed, their litter boxes were cleaned, and most importantly they both really seemed to warm up to Jennifer in a short period of time! Jennifer was also great with her daily check-ins - she always included a detailed update and photos as well! I will definitely use her again in the future :)”
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.
About: Lifelong cat owner currently living with two cats of my own. I've had cats my whole life and understand their personalities deeply. Equally comfortable with dogs of all sizes and breeds. I approach every sit with patience, genuine care, and regular communication with owners My game studio is on summer break so I have dedicated time to give your pet genuine attention, not just a quick check-in between obligations. I do my own cat check-ins daily but otherwise I'm fully present and available throughout the day. When I'm in your home I treat it with complete respect. You'll get photo updates and honest communication throughout the stay. I always do a meet and greet first so your pet is comfortable with me before day one, and so I fully understand their routine, quirks, and needs. No surprises.
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.
About: I have cared for animals for over a decade, with international pet sitting experience! I am well equipped to care for puppies and senior dogs, as well as cats, amphibians and reptiles, and everything in between. I’m currently working part time, so my schedule is very flexible for pet sitting and caregiving. I’m open to any and all sits! I like administer proper enrichment/play time for animals, while making sure they are getting their daily exercise and attention. I can guarantee adequate walks and play time that is specific to your breed.
“Awesome sitter. My dog and cat loved Brenda. I appreciate the detailed notes and photos during drop-ins. Easily the best sitter I've had the pleasure of booking with in the Capitol Hill area, and I hope to book her again in the future.”
“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.”
“Anna was great checking in on our cat while we were out for the holidays! She was great at communicating while we were out and went above and beyond in taking care of him and cleaning up his space. She gave him plenty of playtime and attention. We will definitely book with her again!”
“Rachel & Jens were fantastic. We reach out very last minute and they were super accommodating. We cannot recommend them enough. Very response and love getting the pup updates. Rest assure your furry friend will be taking care of when under their watch.”
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!
“Jacob was a great sitter for my cat, Babka! He was on time and took nice care of Babka, taking care of all the basics (cleaning the litter box, feeding, etc.) without a problem. He also did a great job of determining what Babka needed at each visit most, whether it was lots of play or pets.”
“Brian is an amazing, king, caring, reliable, and trustworthy. My dogs felt comfortable and happy right away under his care. Highly recommend him to anyone looking for peace of mind! Thank you Brian!”
“Xiomina has watch our dog at her home and now has watched 3 of our kitties in our own home. As lomg as I'am living in the Seattle area there is no other person whom I would trust my furry family too while me and my wife are out of town! Xiomina always gives us great updates and pics with each visit and everytime I see the furry rascals again they look happy, healthy, and well groomed! Thank you so much and I will happily rebook your services as long as you are on Rover!”
“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.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Seattle
We have a new rescue who is still settling in to our home and she instantly loved Tunan. Tunan does an amazing job of taking care of her, sending us updates and even continuing her training program while we are at work. She is so respectful of our home and most importantly she is amazing with our pup!!
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!
I have never left my little dog Bella with anyone other than family. My son found Brandi on Rover to housesit for his cats while he was out of town. He called me and said "You absolutely will love Brandi and will not regret hiring her" He was right. Her communication and attention to detail were fantastic. I'm very thankful to have been referred to her and look forward to her helping more in the future with Bella. Happy dog happy dog Mom!
Incredible experience working with Blake. She was super communicative and took such amazing care of my pups. I can tell they were so happy and so loved during their care with Blake and her partner. Would recommend Blake for all your pet sitting needs! Thank you Blake!
Laura was great! She is very understanding of how to walk a large reactive dog like my rottweiler Billie Jean. Shes very attentive to my dogs quirks and followed any instructions I had. Billie Jean was super excited and happy after her walk. Thank you! I will definitely book again.
Olena was absolutely wonderful! This was my dog Charlie’s first time staying home alone, and she completely put my mind at ease. She was prompt, reliable, and incredibly responsive throughout every visit. I loved receiving photos and updates, which helped me feel connected and reassured while I was away. Olena made sure Charlie got his walks, plenty of attention, and lots of love during her check-ins. It was clear that she genuinely cared about his well-being and comfort. Knowing he was in such capable and caring hands made all the difference. I would absolutely book with Olena again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, communicative, and compassionate pet sitter. Thank you, Olena, for taking such great care of Charlie! 💕

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 .

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.

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.
