“Michelle was exceptional. We have an anxious little dog and Michelle was so gentle and calm, our dog warmed up to her and even hopped up on her bed. Michelle was on time, sent us updates and did a wonderful job. I can see why she has so many repeat customers.”
“Arrived home to a spotless house and very content dogs—Bruce did a great job with everything, including administering medications. Will definitely work with him again in the future.”
“Jenna did a great job caring for our two girls and house in our absence. Our girls can be a bit high energy but Jenna didn’t seem to struggle. Our mail and packages were stacked neatly where requested and even our backyard was clean on return (something many of our other dog sitters have neglected). Will definitely book Jenna again.”
“Sofia Sol was a wonderful sitter. Updated us regularly while we were away. It gave us peace of mind to know our senior dog was able to stay comfortable and had a buddy while we were away! Thank you!! :)”
“Jinok and David took great care of our dog and our home during a last minute trip, and we were lucky to have connected with them. We appreciated the updates, photos and flexibility with last minute booking. We would definitely work with them again.”
“Emily did a great job taking care of Penny, especially giving her a liquid antibiotic via syringe which was an unplanned care item. Penny was very happy and well adjusted when we came home which meant she was quite comfortable with Emily. The house was in perfect shape and we would definitely have Emily sit for us again.”
“Eunice was amazing with my golden retriever puppy! She took care of all her needs and showered her with plenty of love and attention. Communication and photo updates were provided as well to show how much fun my little pup was having. Eunice was quick to respond and I appreciate her accomodating my last-minute request. Looking forward to next time!”
“David was great and went above and beyond at both taking great care of my dog and of the house while house sitting! He took care to follow all the provided care instructions for our dog and made sure our dog felt happy and at ease even with us being gone, sending lots of updates. He also kept our dog very active, and managed to convince our dachshund who normally doesn’t like long walks to go on multiple very long walks in the nice weather! On the house side, he took great care of the place, keeping it clean and tidy, and easily handling things that came up, such as cleaning up and resolving a leak in our kitchen.”
About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and have over 10 years of experience caring for dogs. I’m comfortable with all aspects of care, including walks, drop-in visits, feeding, and house sitting. I understand that larger dogs need confident, attentive handling, and I always prioritize their safety, routine, and comfort. I will take care of your dog as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for. Whether it’s a late-night walk or checking in while you’re away, your dog will be in good hands. My schedule is consistent and focused on providing reliable weekend care. I’m available to care for your pets on long weekends with walks, drop-in visits, and house sitting. This allows me to give each pet my full attention during quieter hours, which is great for maintaining routines and keeping dogs comfortable and relaxed. For drop-in visits and walks, I focus on keeping your dog’s routine as consistent and stress-free as possible. I follow your instructions closely for feeding, walks, potty breaks, and any specific care needs so your dog feels comfortable and secure in their familiar environment. I also like to schedule a meet-and-greet beforehand to get a better feel for your dog’s personality, needs, and routine. This helps build trust and ensures I can provide the best possible care from the start. During visits, I make sure your dog gets the right balance of exercise, attention, and care, whether that’s a structured walk, playtime, or a calm check-in. I’m especially mindful with big dogs, using confident handling and staying aware of surroundings to keep every walk safe. I treat every home with respect and always prioritize safety, trust, and clear communication, so you can feel confident your dog is in good hands while you’re away.
“Allie was absolutely fantastic! She catsit my three cats in my home and was incredibly communicative and good to my cats. The cats had recently been introduced each other, so she had to perform additional work to get them to get along with each other. I came back to my cats getting along even better than before I left, and that's all due to how good Allie is with cats. She clearly has a lot of expertise from working with so many pets, and I couldn't recommend her more. I received so many cute photos of the cats while I was away.”
“Jade was a perfect fit for my dog and provided excellent service. She gave Raylin lots of love and attention and sent me updates with lots of pictures throughout her stay. She also took good care of my place and was flexible with my schedule. If I could give her more than 5 stars, I would! 🐾⭐️🐾”
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.
“Annie was such a wonderful companion for our pup while we were gone for a long weekend! She communicated very well with us a couple of times a day sending photos and really putting any anxiety I may have had at ease. When I got home our dog was in a great mood and our place was just as clean as we left it. Will definitely book with her again and highly recommend!”
“My boys (2 dogs) LOVED Michael! I received a ton of updates with photos during the 2 week long stay. Michael took great care of the dogs and my home. I will definitely be booking with him again.”
“Dale did an excellent job looking after Harvey. We really appreciated the thoughtful care and communication while we were away. 10/10 would recommend and rebook with Dale.”
“We are so happy with the loving care ty got. We booked last minute and they were so accommodating and great with the cat and provided updates and photos to make us feel at ease”
“Myriah has watched my dogs for a while now and I’m always really pleased with her care. She’s super attentive, and makes sure any anxiety I have as a pup mom is alleviated. I always appreciate her check ins and updates. I have an older dog that can require a bit more care and Myriah takes on the job with ease. Myriah is the first point of contact for me if I need any pet support from house sitting to quick check in potty breaks when I’m in a scheduling bind. I really appreciate how above and beyond she’s gone, and I would 100% trust her with my pups again.”

Alyson took very good care of our cat & dog while we were away and out of the country for over a week. She even picked up a prescription for our dog that ran out while we were away. Our dog also requires meds twice a day and eye drops and she managed all of it with ease. You can definitely count on Alyson and trust her with your pets :)
Kevin is super sweet and did an amazing job taking care of our cats while we were gone on vacation! He also did a wonderful job of taking care of our house (he left it cleaner than before!). He sent updates regularly and was always quick to reply. We will definitely contact Kevin again whenever we need a sitter!
Elena was such a wonderful sitter for my two cats. She has such warm energy and my cats were so relaxed and happy when I returned. They can get stressed when I’m gone so I know she gave them lots of attention and care. She stayed at my home and left it immaculate. And she sent me daily updates (and some extra photos when I was missing them a lot and checked in). I can wholeheartedly recommend Elena as a sitter and hope she will be available for my future travel!
Jamilyn was communicative, punctual, and took great care of my cat, Kai. She sent daily updates and was respectful of my home. Kai had some health challenges earlier this year, so it was nice having the peace of mind that someone was watching him while I was gone.
Metta was a lifesaver! I just moved to town and had an out-of-town commitment -- all of it was really stressful. She was kind and gracious and took care of my little kitty guys so well that they were not the least bit upset with me for being out of town. This is huge, for them and for me! Met put up with my not-finished house like it was no big deal (even though I felt like it was a big deal). I'm so grateful to have had Met's help and will absolutely ask her help again.
Ange-Elise was exactly what our pups needed! She was incredibly patient, kind, and caring with our two Goldens, and we felt completely at ease knowing they were in such good hands. She kept us updated throughout their stay, which we really appreciated, and even took them to the park! 🥰 Our pups were happy and well cared for, and we will absolutely be booking with Ange-Elise again. Highly recommend her!
Liberty and Caleb are terrific pet sitters that we highly recommend! We engaged them for two weeks and we received updates and photos every day. We had real peace of mind on our international trip as a result of their consistent communications, as well as the many "proof of fun" pics of our pets. Our condo was neat, tidy and clean when we returned. The building concierge and several residents gave them high marks as well. We look forward to our next engagement with Liberty and Caleb!
We are so grateful to have had Cynthia watch our dog Juni. Days before we were scheduled to go out of town, Juni had to be hospitalized for digestive issues. Cynthia was kind, calm, and empathetic re: the situation. She monitored Juni’s health, kept us up-to-date on how Juni was doing, and administered medication + prescription food to Juni. She followed our instructions regarding daily walks and routines. She left the house in great condition. Juni appeared happy and well-cared for following Cynthia’s time with her! We would love to have Cynthia watch Juni again.
Yali was amazing! We appreciated her updates and our dog loved her so much! She sent us messages and pictures throughout the day keeping us updated, which kept us at ease. We could not recommend her highly enough and feel so thankful to have found her. We wish we could leave ten stars!
Our pup was in great hands. Egor sent us multiple updates throughout the day, so we never had to wonder how things were going. He played with our puppy, took him out for a walk, and clearly took really good care of him. We came home to a happy, tired pup. Thank you, we'll definitely book again! 🐾
Ajita took care of our cat overnight for six days and I had a great experience! She sent photos and videos to us multiple times a day, was clear on expectations of when/what to care for our cat, and was highly responsive to messages. I’d recommend Ajita and booking her!
Sophia was great! She took on a challenging start time and consistently showed up on time, and took great care of Hudson including giving him meds and following a 4-hr feeding timeframe. He was instantly attached to her and upset when she’d leave, showing how easily she bonded with him. Would definitely recommend!

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Seattle walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Seattle maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
<b>Tip:</b> Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
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!
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.
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 .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
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 Meet & Greet .
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy , 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.

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.
