Jana is amazing! She is very responsive and engaged. She spent time with my cat and sent pictures of him happy and relaxed, which means a lot when you're across the country. She had an instant rapport with Higgins and made me feel at east immediately. I would highly recommend selecting her the next time you need your pet looked after. A true pro!

About: I've taken care of dogs and cats nearly my whole life. I grew up with animals of all kinds and have a genuine love and appreciate for them. I am comfortable giving meds including pills, liquids, injections and subcutaneous fluids. I am courteous and respectful of your personal property and pet care wishes. I am a freelancer so my schedule is very adaptable to you and your pet's needs. I like to keep to their routines if possible and will make myself available as needed including early mornings, late nights, or overnight care. I prioritize a safe, stress-free environment tailored strictly to your pet's specific routine and your instructions. I maintain absolute respect for personal property. My focus remains entirely on building trust and ensuring every animal feels secure, comfortable, and well-loved.

About: I have over 5 years of experience dog sitting for a variety of families, providing comprehensive care tailored to each pet’s needs. Whether it's managing overnight stays, conducting regular drop-in visits, taking energetic walks, or keeping up with routine potty breaks, I prioritize safety, clear communication, and keeping your dog’s routine consistent while you’re away. In addition to sitting for clients, I’ve grown up with a family dog and frequently care for them during extended stays. Having a dog in my own home has given me a deep, personal understanding of dog behavior, health needs, and how important it is to treat every pet like family. What You Can Expect: Attentive Routine Care: Timely feeding, fresh water, medication administration (if needed), and plenty of play. Active Engagement: Tailored walks, outdoor exercise, and engaging activities to keep your dog happy and stimulated. Frequent Updates: Daily photos and status updates so you always have peace of mind. Respectful House Sitting: Keeping your home clean, secure, and well-cared for during overnight stays. Working part-time from home gives me a flexible, consistent schedule that allows me to prioritize quality time and structured care for every dog I look after. Daily Availability & Supervision: Because I spend most of my work hours at home, pets in my care receive continuous companionship, regular attention, and frequent breaks throughout the day rather than being left alone for long stretches. Structured Daily Routine: My schedule makes it easy to maintain your dog’s exact feeding times, medication schedules, potty breaks, and energy outlets. I build my work tasks around their daily rhythm so their home routine stays seamless and stress-free. Mid-Day Exercise & Play: Flexible working hours allow me to block out time for mid-day walks, backyard play, and mental stimulation games when dogs are typically most active. Overnight & Weekend Care: With a home-based work setup, overnight stays and weekend bookings blend naturally into my regular flow, ensuring your pet always has a present, reliable anchor while you are away. Whether I’m caring for your dog in my home or yours, my priority is keeping their daily routine consistent, safe, and stress-free. Caring for Pets in Your Home (House Sitting & Drop-Ins) Maintaining Familiar Routines: I follow your exact instructions for feeding, potty schedules, and sleep arrangements so your pet feels secure in their own environment. Attentive Care & Company: I provide plenty of one-on-one attention, play, and quiet companionship while respecting your home and keeping everything clean and secure. Frequent Updates: You’ll receive regular photos and daily status updates so you know your pet and home are in great hands. Caring for Pets in My Home (Apartment Living) Frequent Outdoor Excursions: Since I live in an apartment, I schedule regular, structured outdoor breaks for potty times and fresh air throughout the day. Park Walks & Exercise: We take full advantage of nearby parks for long, peaceful walks, sniffing sessions, and controlled exercise to burn off energy safely. A Cozy, Supervised Environment: My apartment offers a calm, cozy atmosphere where your dog can relax nearby while I work. They receive constant supervision and never have to navigate a chaotic or noisy environment. Safety & Park Guidelines Living in an apartment with nearby parks means safety and attentive handling are my top priorities on every outing. Here is how I ensure your dog stays secure, comfortable, and happy: Strict On-Leash Policy: Your dog will remain securely leashed at all times during outdoor walks, park visits, and potty breaks. I do not take client dogs off-leash in un-fenced public areas under any circumstances. Controlled Park Interactions: Nearby parks are fantastic for sniffing and exercise, but I maintain a respectful distance from unfamiliar dogs and high-traffic areas. I always check with you beforehand regarding your dog’s comfort level around other pets or crowded spaces. Double-Check Gear Security: Before leaving the apartment, I double-check that collars, harnesses, and leashes are fitted securely to prevent any risk of slipping out. Weather & Pavement Checks: Before setting out, I check ground temperatures to protect paw pads during hot weather and keep walks shorter on severe weather days. Fresh water and quick paw wipes are always part of our post-walk routine. Attentive Environment Awareness: Apartment living requires constant vigilance—I stay fully off my phone during walks to focus 100% on scan-ahead awareness, watching for bicycle traffic, wildlife, or stray items on the path.

About: I’ve had pets my entire life and bring years of hands-on experience caring for them, keeping them active, and making sure they feel safe and loved. Right now I share my home with two wonderful cats. I’m looking to spend more time around animals by helping care for others’ pets. As a grad student, I’m dependable, punctual, and communicative, so you can feel confident that your pets are in good hands while you’re away. I am in my last year of school with a lot of random free time during the week/ day. Can easily walk/ drive/ light rail to any nearby location! I am a very trustworthy, timely, communicative person and will keep you updated on your pet while you are away or busy at work. Will ask any clarifying questions ahead of time so everything goes smooth and your pet is well cared for the way you like!

About: As a lifelong pet owner, caring for animals is one my favorite things to do. I treat every furry guest like a member of my own family. I am entirely comfortable sticking to your pet's unique daily routine, including any special accommodations they might need to feel safe and happy. Best of all, I know the stress on you of being away from your babies! You can expect regular, and steady stream of picture checkins throughout the day. Your peace of mind is my top priority, and I will make sure you never miss a single tail wag while you are away. I am lucky enough to work full time from home, which means I am at my laptop and available for your pet all week long. Your furry friend will enjoy constant companionship, easy potty breaks, and plenty of desk-side cuddles. When providing care in your home, my top priority is maintaining your pet's comfort while fully respecting your space and privacy. Since I work from my laptop, I can easily replicate their normal routine in their own secure environment while leaving your home exactly as clean and tidy as I found it.

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: Hi there! I’m Laura, and I absolutely love taking care of pets. With years of experience in house sitting, pet sitting, and dog walking, I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family. I handle feeding, grooming, playtime, meds, and special diets with ease. While you’re away, I’ll keep your home safe and tidy so you can relax. I’m reliable, easy to talk to, and I'll always make sure your pets are happy and well-cared for. Pet care fits perfectly into my daily schedule as I pursue a transition from a career in engineering to a more creative field. It offers the flexibility I need while allowing me to support myself. Taking care of pets is a fulfilling and rewarding way to spend my time, and it brings balance to my life as I explore new creative opportunities. Plus, the joy and companionship of caring for animals provide a wonderful contrast to my previous work, making each day enjoyable and meaningful. In your home, I maintain the familiar surroundings your pet is used to, which can be especially comforting for them. I stick to their established routines and provide plenty of attention, playtime, and affection. I also take care of basic household tasks like bringing in the mail, watering plants, and ensuring your home remains tidy and secure.

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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Sitting in Seattle on Rover is $23.94 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of September 2026, there are 12,404 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Seattle. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Seattle. On Rover:

  • 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% can help with daily exercise

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.
