“Tanya was amazing! She responded right away and was great with our dog. She even went above and beyond to stop by and meet us earlier in the day. We would definitely use her again.”
“Michael was terrific. He faithfully checked in on my pets for me twice a day while I was away. He sent me regular updates and did a great job, even retrieving a package for me. He also has the best rate. I will definitely hire him again!”
“Michelle took wonderful care of my two kitties in my absence, and was kind enough to also feed the ferals that frequent my front door. I’m grateful for her help, and look forward to the opportunity to seek her services again in the future. Thank you!”
About: I've been taking care of animals of all shapes and sizes since I was kid. I have professional experience with dog and cat boarding, sitting, walking, grooming, daycare, etc. I love animals and cant wait to meet yours. I work from home as a caretaker so my schedule is extremely flexible and there is always someone home to watch any animals we have visiting. I dont have any animals at home at the moment so there's a clean slate for me to focus on any specialized care your pet may need while in my care.
About: I have a caring and patient approach to caretaking, and I love meeting new animals. I will approach your pet at their pace, and I will spend extra time to make sure they feel comfortable with me. I have a wide range of experience caring for animals, including many different kinds of dogs and cats. I grew up around many animals, and I love spending my time with all kinds of furry friends. I am experienced in interacting with and walking dogs with high anxiety or who are reactive generally and on leash. I have personal experience with training, walking, and living with reactive dogs. I have also cared for young and aging pets and handled medication dispensing for both cats and dogs. I work from home, so I have a flexible schedule to do longer walks during the day (45-60 mins), drop-ins to check in, and I am happy to work from your home during housesitting to give your pet the most love and attention I can. I work remotely from home and have a flexible schedule for pet care. I am home most of the time, so I will be able to spend plenty of time with your pet. I am a pretty active person, so I love playing with pets, going on many walks, and spending quality time with new furry friends. I would love to be a consistent walker or drop-in for you, where I can build a trusting relationship with your pet. I always ask about the schedule you prefer, and I will stick to that timing so that they feel safe and comfortable in my care. I can't bring your pet to my home because I have three of my own animals, but I am happy to come to your house to walk your pet, do overnight pet sitting, or drop in to check in. I will work with you to find a schedule and setup that works best for you and your pet. I would be happy to do a meet-and-greet before scheduling care so I can meet your pet(s) and understand what care they need.
“Kennedy was super helpful in dropping in to visit Hopper when I was out of town for a few days. She was reliable and communicative, will definitely be booking her again and would recommend!”
About: I've had a dog since day 1. I was born into a dog loving home (with my beagle Buster) and haven't stopped loving them since! I grew up around dogs and can't imagine a life without one in my home. Living in a dog friendly city like Seattle with my own pup has inspired me to help out where I can and pursue a life loving the best animals in the world. I've handled many different sized breeds from Yorkies, Corgis and Chihuahuas, up to Anatolians, Huskies, and St. Bernards. I love to walk and exercise and take great pride in the training I've done with my own dog, Major. Whatever your interests, desires, limitations or boundaries, I'm here to help and provide support! Reach out today and let me do my best to make you and your pup happy. 😁 I take care of my own dog with 3 walks a day, play time, and a specialized diet that includes supplements. I strive to bring this same quality of care to your family as well! Pet care is a cornerstone of my life, a massive responsibility, and something to be cherished. I hope to continue this trend with your dog, the same way I would for my own. Your home should be the safest place for you and your pet and I will do my utmost to ensure it stays that way. That means abiding by a client's rules to ensure their home remains as they prefer.
“Kevin has been awesome with my German Shepherd for play or walks during the day when I’m at work. I have peace of mind knowing Nicco is getting exercise and good care while I’m away. Kevin is really communicative and sends great updates. Will definitely request again!”
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: Hello, My name is Jeremy, I have a deep passion for animals. My commitment to their well-being is unwavering, and I often prioritize their needs over my own. I have a connection with animals when I look into their eyes, I feel as though I can sense their deepest emotions and struggles, which draws me closer to their world with empathy and understanding. I currently own a three-year-old mixed breed of husky and shepherd named Tru. Her name is pronounced like “true,” but without the letter “e” because her tru never ends. 👣🏃🏻♂️➡️💞🐕🐾 Rover is currently all of what takes time up in my day to day life, so I am mostly available just about anytime, day and night. I can easily crate your pet if you need it or if you insist, as long as the crate is provided, and anything else that you want me to do that you would essentially do for your pet bethat you’d do for them if you could be there to do.
About: Hello! My name is Patrick, although my friends refer to me as V. I have a TrustedHouse sitters profile that I am primarily on & have over a dozen 5* reviews which I can show when asked! I’m originally from the South and grew up in rural Texas on my family’s farm. From my early adult years until now (30), I’ve been traveling around the country & have had the opportunity to meet so many wonderful people and be exposed to so many different lifestyles! Because of that, I am very flexible with a lot of different quirks in people, places & animals. Animals have always been a part of my life. I grew up around farm animals, and later on, cats and dogs became a consistent presence in my home & especially my travels the last 8 years I had a cat named Tulip, who was my best friend and travel companion for the past eight years. She recently passed after a long, full life with me. Because of that loss, I’m not quite ready to welcome a new pet of my own just yet. Instead, I’ve chosen to spend this time loving and caring for other people’s animals, which has helped fill the space she left in my heart. Corny I know! But she really was my best friend & my only family I’m a very clean and respectful person (I actually enjoy tidying up!) and will always leave your space better than I found it. I like to send walkthrough videos before you coming home so you have the peace of mind of knowing for a fact you’re coming home to a clean home. Since I’m self-employed and work remotely, your pets will never be left alone for long…they’ll have company, playtime, and affection throughout the day & night. I’m also happy to send updates or photos so you can feel connected and reassured while you’re away. I do not smoke, do drugs or have a strong desire in going out. I’m a bit boring in that I like being a homebody as I appreciate solitude & peace; nature is the biggest motivator for me as well as pleasant places to walk. I am big on communication & work best with clear guidelines from both yours & my side. I raised tulip on a structured routine since we did travel so much so I really appreciate those who have their own animals on structured schedules. Not mandatory of course, but I do think it plays a positive effect on the animals life - especially when a stranger is taking care of them it usually helps with their anxiety. I’m always happy to meet ahead of time so you can feel comfortable with who you’re entrusting your pets and home to. Speaking from personal experience, knowing the person caring for your animals makes a huge difference in reducing stress and anxiety. I am a fulltime house/petsitter & use other apps as well so if you’d like to see my profile on other places let me know! And even if we cannot meet in person, I am more than happy to get on video calls, phone calls etc as it’s extremely important for both of us to get a feel for each other If you have any questions at all, please feel free to reach out, I’d love to connect! I am self employed and work completely remote so I am able to fit the needs of the animals I am currently taking care of before anything else in my schedule and work around your pets needs. Because I traveled for so many years with my cat & taking care of such big dogs, I have become very in tune with the needs of animals & how to ensure they have an enriching environment; as well as knowing how to read their body language and help them relax during stressful situations. I find consistency best for pets especially when they’re anxious about new people — it helps them relax a bit so I do my best at providing as much structure as possible
“Allie took great care of our cats! She communicated well, was responsive, and sent great pictures while we were gone. We felt like they were in safe hands and look forward to having Allie take care of our pets again!”
“Eden was an amazing cat sitter! Super nice, organized, and attentive. She made sure to ask a lot of questions and sent lots of pictures and videos. She is always on time and is super flexible even when I needed to extend a day due to travel delays. My cat is very shy and warmed up to her super fast. Highly recommend her and will definitely book again!”
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: When I was a kid, me and my bestie were neighbors. We walked her dog together for years. I have been dog sitting for friends a lot. I have lived with a cat for 3 years, in the beginning it was my roommate’s ragdoll, and now my own Persian cat. I just finished an internship and waiting for the job offer to be available, so I am available all day. While taking care of my friends’s cat, I find myself enjoying this job. I used to be a biologist work in a laboratory, so I am very detail oriented and organized. I will keep your pets safe, as well as your home, always clean after use and lock the facility.
The median cost per visit for pet sitting in Seattle is $25
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Seattle
Katie is the best! I always know our kitties are in good hands! She always tries to find a toy that will engage the kitties, even when they are feeling a little melancholy missing us! It comforts me to know Katie is with our cats, and I know our cats are similarly comforted by her friendly company!! She also goes out of her way to do a little cleanup for stray litter and food crumbs from our messy little guys!
Jessica was nothing short of absolutely and unequivocally phenomenal. Both my partner and myself were elated to have someone who was not only accommodating, but was very kind and considerate to our cat. She was communicative, takes outstanding photos, and truly a pleasure to have watch our cat.
Absolutely perfect with shy cats! I was so anxious about leaving my incredibly timid and fearful cat, but Rachael was a total professional-compassionate, reliable and caring. She completely understood how to handle a shy pet—giving them plenty of space, moving quietly, and never forcing an interaction. She is also an excellent communicator with humans ;). So so grateful to have found her and will definitely be reaching out in the future. Thank you so much!!!
Jazmine did a fantastic job with my three cats! They are all of different ages and needs and she had no issue accommodating them for a last minute booking, including giving my senior cat his medication. She followed our instructions to a T and I would not hesitate to book her again.
I had to leave to Texas for a last minute trip and Isabella was able to fit Summer in. She took excellent care of my baby for the short time I was gone. Its hard for me to leave my child with anyone and Isabella made me feel like I didn't have to worry. I definitely recommend her and will be a returning client. Thank you so much Isabella.
I am so glad we left our Barbara cat in the capable and kind hands of Sara (aka Andi.) She made thorough notes and provided plenty of photos and videos of her care during visits. Our cat, Barbara, warmed up to her so quickly - and Andi did an amazing job administering asthma medication as well as being present and spending cuddle time with our girl. We highly recommend her services. Thank you so much Andi - we truly appreciate your time and care.
Joseph was our first pet sitter in a very long time and he could not have been better. Our cats were very antisocial (sorry!), but his daily updates on their food/water/litter was a great reassurance. Also, he was quick to communicate when he found that one cat's collar had slipped off. Not a big deal to us, but very cool that he spotted it and thought to check in.
Eden was an amazing cat sitter! Super nice, organized, and attentive. She made sure to ask a lot of questions and sent lots of pictures and videos. She is always on time and is super flexible even when I needed to extend a day due to travel delays. My cat is very shy and warmed up to her super fast. Highly recommend her and will definitely book again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Seattle is $27 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $44 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 November 2026, there are 12,870 sitters on Rover offering Pet 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.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Seattle. On Rover:
- 86% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 91% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 93% 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.
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.
