“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!!”

About: I believe I am an excellent fit for pet sitting and dog walking due to my genuine love for animals and my extensive experience in caring for them. I have taken care of various pets, from energetic dogs to more independent cats, ensuring they receive the attention, exercise, and care they need. My reliable nature means that pet owners can trust me to follow their instructions and maintain their pets' routines. I understand the importance of keeping pets safe and comfortable, and I am attentive to their individual personalities and needs. Additionally, my strong communication skills allow me to keep pet owners informed and reassured while they are away. Overall, my dedication, reliability, and passion for animals make me an ideal choice for any pet sitting or walking position. Pet care seamlessly fits into my daily and weekly routine as I prioritize time for my own pets alongside my responsibilities. Each morning begins with walks and playtime, ensuring they get the exercise and attention they need to start the day right. Throughout the week, I set aside dedicated time for feeding, grooming, and training, reinforcing our bond and promoting good behavior. I also integrate pet care into my schedule by making time for regular vet visits and socialization with other animals. This routine not only keeps my pets happy and healthy but also enriches my life, making it a natural and fulfilling part of my day-to-day activities. In my home, I provide a safe and loving environment where pets can feel comfortable and secure. I establish a routine that includes regular feeding, exercise, and playtime, ensuring they receive ample attention and stimulation. When caring for pets in a client's home, I adhere closely to their established routines and preferences, whether it’s maintaining specific feeding schedules, sticking to preferred walking routes, or engaging in their favorite activities. I prioritize their safety by keeping the environment free of hazards and ensuring they have access to fresh water and a cozy space to rest. My focus is always on providing personalized care that meets the individual needs of each pet, whether in my home or theirs.

About: I've cared for dogs of all sizes and breeds for about 9 years, mostly through friends and family who trusted me with their pets. I'm comfortable with both playful and calm temperaments, and I've handled walks, feeding, and overnight boarding. I am a dog lover, who at times have taught skills to young puppies. I am always upfront about what I can and can't do. I'm available Monday through Friday from 1pm to 5pm for walks and drop-in visits. I can also take on boarding, depending on availability. Generally I am flexible and happy to adjust I work from home part-time in a big apartment, so I'm around most of the day. Your dog gets actual company: someone nearby while they nap, play, or just wander around sniffing things. I don't have my own pet yet, so your dog gets the full spotlight.

About: Hii, I have grown up with all kinds of pets my whole life! First ever fur baby or feather baby, was a love bird and a whole lot of parakeets. Then we had some bunnies and snakes before I got my first kitten! I have a bad habit of taking strays home and never letting them go. I had 5 cats previously now down to 2. My brother has a German Shepard who I watched regularly, along with other family friends who I've pet-sat for with Labs, Shepards, Chihuahua's and Mini Doodles! Fur babies are real babies and all have different needs, boundaries and personalities. Firm believer in needing to communicate with all dog/cat parents before ever touching any fur baby! I am currently working full-time trying to get out of 9 to 5. My goal in life is to live freely and spend my time how I enjoy most. Traveling and meeting new people and all types of animals. I, like most people that live in Washington, love the outdoors! I love to touch grass and smell fresh air, so I make the best dog sitter. But, I have my moments where I need to stay in, cozy up and nap all day. The best way I would describe myself is an adventure cat or a dog who was raised by cats. Mystery and seclusion is my comfort but I cannot hide my excitement for anything. My job is right in my building so it's easy for me to be able to check on my fur babies, a real luxury if I need a break from work! I am not here to just do a job. I am here to provide the emotional and environmental needs of every fur baby who's parents are out tending to emergencies, living their life, providing for them, etc. My goal is to put you at ease that while you are taking care of business, I am taking care of your life at home. I will always tidy up, clean when needed, check all areas of the house to make sure any unsafe objects or appliances are put away and shut off, plan a day/route when going on walks to ensure maximum safety and enough outdoor time, clean up around litter areas and food bowls, etc. I am very organized and type A, every house is different and every fur baby has different needs. Typically, I will make notes of very basic care instructions and highlight important allergies, rules and medications.

“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 started out dog walking and sitting for the dogs of friends a year ago in Auburn, California, Seattle, and Burien. Those dogs include, a husky, a medium sized wire-hair terrier, and dachshund. From October-January I lived with and took care of a dachshund, a three-legged chihuahua, and a large yellow lab out in the valley. I walked, fed, and bathed these dogs, and am currently dog sitting for a sweet medium-sized terrier named Seamus while his owners are out of town. I grew up with a yellow lab and a collie. I've been a nanny for four years and just started work as an ESL teacher, so I'm no stranger to caregiving and boundary-making. Life won't allow for a dog of my own right now, but I love dogs, and I'd love to spend some time with yours. I hope to hear from you! I'm currently working from home on Monday and Thursday and have a flexible weekend schedule. During the days when I work from home I can typically provide two or three short walks during the day. I live next to the Burke Gilman trail and I live alone, so the pet won't have to worry about encountering any other humans/animals while in the apartment.
About: Growing up I wasn't allowed to have pets and always wanted multiple. I took care of my neighbors dogs, cats, fish, and lizards. I have done everything from popping in for quick walks to house sitting. I work fully remote Monday through Friday. I can easily pop over for quick mid day walks or if need more long term care your pet will be with someone all day who can look after them. I have a fairly decent sized apartment for overnight stays. I am also close to several parks and quiet neighborhoods for long walks. I will love and care for your pet as if they were my own.
“Natalia is a wonderful sitter! She was very thorough, communicative, and captured many cute photos of our kitty. Denali was comfortable with her from the start. She helped make us feel comfortable while out of town, and we would absolutely book her again!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of all sizes and personalities since I was 10 years old. Neighbors, friends, and family have trusted me to walk, feed, play with, and bathe their pups—whether they needed daily care, weekend sitting, or just some extra attention while their owners were away. I’m patient, reliable, and love getting to know each dog’s unique quirks and needs. I’m currently working remote full-time, so I have plenty of flexibility during weekdays and weekends to give your dog the attention, walks, and care they deserve. Whether it’s midday walks, drop-ins, or full-day care, I’ll make sure your pup feels happy and loved while you’re away. Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for pets. Whether I’m in your home or welcoming your dog into mine, I create a calm, clean, and secure environment where they can feel comfortable and cared for. I always follow your routines, feeding instructions, and safety guidelines closely, and I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you feel confident while you’re away. Your pup’s comfort and well-being always come first.

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.

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!

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.
