About: I've been caring for dogs for nearly 20 years. Growing up with three family dogs taught me how to care for pets through every stage of life. From daily walks and playtime to swimming, feeding, and plenty of affection. I also grew up in a neighborhood full of dogs and regularly walked, checked in on, and cared for neighbors' pets while their families were away. Friends and family have continued to trust me with their pets over the years, and for four years I lived with my roommate's dog, helping with daily care and treating him like he was my own. I'm comfortable following routines, adapting to different personalities and energy levels, and making sure every pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for. As a freelance photographer, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care. I'm typically available Monday through Friday between 11:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. for walks and drop-in visits, and I'm often able to accommodate weekend requests as well. Whether your dog is ready for a long walk or your cat just needs some company and care while you're away, I'll make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable. You can also expect thoughtful updates and plenty of photos during each visit. I know how reassuring it is to see your pet happy while you're away! I understand that inviting someone into your home requires trust, and I don't take that responsibility lightly. I'll always respect your space, follow your pet's routine as closely as possible, and care for your home with the same attention and respect I would my own. My goal is to make your time away as stress-free as possible for both you and your pet. Whether that means sticking to feeding schedules, refreshing water, cleaning up after walks, scooping the litter box, or simply spending quality time with your pet, I'll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for.

About: Hi, I’m Jessica! I have grown up with all sorts of animals: dogs, cats, rabbits, fish and cows. Currently, I am an Aunt to one energetic golden retriever and 2 cats. Over the past 5 years I have watched dogs and cats in the city for friends and co workers and would love to watch your fur baby too! I have experience with caring for dogs with anxiety and elderly pets. I am a pretty active person who loves hiking and checking out new places in the city. I work full time from home. Usually my work hours are set in CST so I start early and end early afternoon, leaving a very flexible schedule with lots of time and energy to spend with your pets! I am very easy to communicate with and love spending time outside. I am easy to work with whether it’s for a quick check in, walks while you are away or reliable boarding. I live in an apartment but there are fenced in pet areas on the property. I also own a vehicle to take pets to the park, drop off/pick up or sitting at your home. I have worked in hospitality for over 15+ years. I know exceptional care is all about trust, attention to detail, and personalized service. I’ll treat your beloved pets with the same level of care and dedication we provide to guests at our five star properties.

“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!”
“This was our first time having Erin over to watch our cat while we were away. Erin was so welcoming and went above and beyond to care for our cat. She left very thoughtful check in reports and great pictures. I have no doubt I will be using Erin for all my future cat sits if she is available!”
“Anna is an amazing find on Rover! She is so good with our very nervous and anxious rescue pup. Her experience with larger dogs really seemed to help Ares warm up to her faster than I’ve ever seen before! Anna is a true dog whisperer 10/10!!!”
About: I currently care for pets for a few neighbors in my condo building and love doing it. What ever your pet's needs and no matter how intricate your care instructions are, I will do my best to follow them. Also experienced administering medicine for pets, especially cats. When I finish my work day, I am usually ready to go for a walk and look in on my pets. Wednesday evenings and Friday through Sunday are good times from me. I provide a safe, calm, and loving environment where every pet is treated with patience and respect. I follow each pet's routine, including feeding, exercise, medication (if needed), and plenty of attention. I am a good communicator and like maintaining regular communication with owners through updates and photos, so they can feel confident their pets are in good hands.
“Blake and her partner were fantastic while caring for our pups. She was incredibly communicative and provided detailed updates through the visit cards, which gave us peace of mind while we were away.

Amazing experience and would recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Seattle
Salena took wonderful care of Ezio while I was away for two weeks. She completed all of her drop-in visits, provided updates, and made sure he had attention and care while I was gone. When I returned home, Ezio was happy and relaxed, which is always the biggest sign that he was well cared for. I appreciated Salena’s communication and would gladly have her look after Ezio again!
Our kitties love Morgan, and so do we! She is through and always follows our instructions perfectly. She is also so patient with shy cats, and does an amazing job giving them the time they need to open up and get comfortable. We love Morgan and will hire her to care for our cats whenever we can!
This was my first time using Rover and I was initially anxious about it. Finding Ally was a true blessing. She was good with my cat Binty while I was away. She Gave detailed updates and great photos. She was also super fast when communicating with me. Will definitely book her again in the future.
Katie is a fantastic Rover! 11/10 would recommend! She manages to capture the silliest photos of our pets playing, and even engages them in all sorts of play time! She goes above and beyond, even vacuuming the litter when it gets a little messy! Thank you Katie!!
Highly recommend Kevin. Meet and greet went well. Victoria just loves him. This was our first time using Rover and won’t be our last. Kevin was great with Victoria. We will definitely reach out to Kevin for future pup needs. Thank you, Kevin for a seamlessly process and most of our taking care of our precious little baby.
Zephyr was the best cat sitter! I haven’t left my pets for over four days ever and I was gone a little over a week. They filled me with such peace of mind by sending very communicative updates, going the extra step to cleanup after my cats, and giving them so much love and attention. Thank you so much, Zephyr!
Jaime has been our go-to cat sitter for a while now, and we couldn't be happier with the service. Extremely reliable, punctual, and professional, Jaime always provides excellent care and complete peace of mind whenever we're away. Highly recommended to anyone looking for a trustworthy cat sitter!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Seattle on Rover is $26.64 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 13,066 sitters on Rover offering Pet 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.
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:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% 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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
