“Jana did a great job dropping in on our kitties for feeding, medication and play during the New Year holiday while we went out of town. We arrived home from our trip to two very happy cats that had been obviously well cared for and engaged while we were gone!”
“Kylie was on time, took care of my dog well, and communicated well! She was also happy to meet me and my dog for a meet and greet before taking care of him, which was much appreciated.”
“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.”
About: I have had pets my whole life! Dogs, Cats, Guinea Pigs, Rats, Fish, Reptiles, you name it! My household is never empty, as pets are the greatest joy I know : ) I have trained young pups, assisted senior pets with medical issues, as well as providing a consistently safe & stable environment. Currently, I have two dogs, two guinea pigs, & 1 cat. I focus largely on their dietary needs and exercise. One of my dogs is a Australian shepherd, he requires a lot of play time! My other dog is a Boston Terrier, she is a lazy bean. Both are extremely friendly and get along with other pets, same species or not. I care greatly for animals and aspire to give them all a second safe place. When booking with me, just know your furry baby is taken care of and I will treat them as my own : ) I currently work part time, so I have a lot of availability and prioritize pet's needs before my own. When booking with me, I clear my schedule to make sure all your pet's needs are met and optimal comfortability is standard. I live in a apartment, there is spots outside for the doggies, and many parks around me. Both of my dogs are friendly and will keep your furry friend company. Additionally, I offer separate spaces for cat's.
“Tetiana is a steller sitter! She takes my shy kitty in stride and doesn't personalize it. She is timely, responsive, and thorough and I can't recommend her enough:)”
About: Hi, I'm Ross. Living in the heart of Downtown Seattle between Pike Place Market and the Waterfront, I know firsthand that city walks require a lot more than just holding a leash. I am the proud owner of two large rescue dogs from Seattle Humane, and they have taught me everything I need to know about expert dog handling. For the past 8 years, I’ve been navigating the busy downtown streets with Finn, my 9-year-old Doberman/Lab mix. He is a big, joyful bundle of excitement who loves to pull on his leash. In fact, he’s convinced he personally owns the entire territory from our neighborhood all the way up to Interbay! I also share my life with Charlie, a 5-year-old Hound who prefers a slower pace—he loves to suddenly "apply the brakes" and cautiously take in his surroundings. I am available 7 days per week. Located right downtown, I am perfectly positioned for evening and midday walks and drop-in visits while you are at work or away for the day. Whether your dog needs a high-energy trek along the Waterfront to burn off energy, or a patient, slow sniff-walk nearby, I’d love to give them the exact care they need! Because of Finn and Charlie, I don't just walk dogs; I actively read their body language and adapt to what they need. * For the Excitable Pullers: Thanks to Finn, I have the physical strength and patience to safely manage strong, eager pullers without getting frustrated. I know how to keep a dog focused and safe on crowded city sidewalks. * For the Cautious & Stubborn Pups: Thanks to Charlie, I know exactly how to handle dogs who get nervous, freeze up, or drop their anchors. I never rush a cautious dog; I use patience, gentle encouragement, and positive reinforcement to make them feel secure. * True Rescue Experience: I understand that rescue dogs often have unique quirks, anxieties, or reactivity. I am incredibly respectful of their boundaries and will follow your specific training cues to the letter.
“Valeriya was amazing taking care of Timmu. Timmu is normally a very shy cat and she was able to get him out to play and be happy! Valeriya was also very flexible with myself - I had multiple itinerary changes and I’m very grateful Valeriya was there to help take care of Timmu.”
“Dalara and Jack have been my cat sitters for nearly a year now and I have loved working with them every time. They’re very communicative and attentive with my babies, who love them dearly. Dalara and Jack go out of their way to give my cats extra time and attention and play and also take care of the house while I’m away, unprompted. They’re wonderful, thoughtful, and go above and beyond! I cannot recommend them highly enough. Your fur babies will be absolutely adored and pampered :)”
“Bruce was great! He followed all instructions I left and really made an effort to approach my shy bunny in a calm, patient manner. Would absolutely book him again ◡̈”
About: Hi there! I’m Kat. I live in the heart of First Hill in a very pet friendly apartment complex and pet friendly surrounding areas. I have a lot of experience with small/medium dogs and giving medication, lots of experience with dogs that have medical conditions. (Seizures, anxiety and separation anxiety.) I live alone in a very spacious apartment. I don’t have any pets of my own, your pet baby(ies) would be center of attention. Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns. Thank you. Look forward to hearing from you. Kat My regular routine runs Monday through Thursday, leaving my Fridays and Sundays completely open for fun and cuddles. I'm available for pet boarding and drop-in check-ins on those days. I'm also available to hang out with your pets during holidays at an extra rate fee! Need a helping hand on other days? Just give me a little heads-up, and I’d be more than happy to rearrange my routine to make sure your furry family members are well taken care of! 🐶✨ 🐾 My apartment complex and neighbourhood are super pet-friendly, with a gorgeous park nearby that offers tons of great walking space for stretching those four legs. Because I'm a previous dog owner, I totally understand how important it is to keep a home fully protected and secure for your furry babies. Even though I live in a busy part of town, I am always extra cautious and vigilant of my surroundings to ensure your pet stays safe and sound every single second! 🐶🏡✨
“Brenda was amazing! She is flexible and communicative! She even came over before her visit to make sure she knew everything she needed to! I will be reaching out again :) my cat also loved her! Thank you!”
“Veronique is the best! Our puppy loves her and it shows. She comes on time, knows her way around dogs, and is super pleasant to be around. Thank you for helping us with our family!”
About: Leave with confidence. Come home to a dog who’s been thoughtfully cared for and a clean, welcoming home. I look after the daily details so you can enjoy your time away, knowing your dog and your home are in experienced hands. I bring more than 10 years of experience caring for pets and homes across North America and Europe, backed by 54 five-star reviews on TrustedHousesitters. Families have trusted me with beloved companions and cherished homes, and I take pride in the lasting relationships we’ve built. I’m also Fear Free Certified and trained in Pet First Aid. For your dog, thoughtful care means familiar routines, patient companionship, and attention to their individual needs. My Fear Free approach focuses on reducing fear, anxiety, and stress by recognising body language, respecting their comfort, and letting trust develop at their pace. From play sessions and enriching walks to gentle support for senior dogs, I tailor my care to your dog’s personality, energy, and needs. For your home, it means treating your space, belongings, and privacy with respect. I’m meticulous about tidying up after myself, following plant-care instructions, and attending to the household details we agree on. My approach is “leave no trace”: returning your home as clean and orderly as I found it, ready for you to settle back in as if you’d never left. That peace of mind starts before you leave. During our meet and greet, we’ll talk through your dog’s habits and needs, home instructions, emergency contacts, and your expectations for the stay. We’ll agree on arrival and departure times and how you’d like to receive updates. While you’re away, you can expect thoughtful messages and photos that show how your dog is doing, along with prompt communication if anything needs your attention. I’d love to hear about your dog, your home, and what an ideal sitting experience would look like for you. Please note: I have a severe cat allergy and can only care for dogs in homes where cats do not live. Please let me know if cats have previously lived in or occasionally visit your home before we arrange a meet and greet. I work remotely as a consultant, which allows me to spend much of the day at home with the dogs in my care. That means regular companionship, time for walks and bathroom breaks, and a familiar presence between activities. I plan each stay around your dog’s established routines, balancing my work with their meals, exercise, rest, and attention. Before confirming a booking, we’ll discuss how long they’re comfortable being alone and any needs that require closer supervision, so we can make sure my schedule is a good fit. We’ll also coordinate arrival and departure times for a thoughtful handover. Whether you’re away for a weekend or several weeks, my aim is to provide a steady, reassuring rhythm for your dog and peace of mind for you. I care for dogs in their own homes, surrounded by familiar scents, favourite resting spots, and the routines they know. As a Fear Free Certified sitter trained in Pet First Aid, I pay attention to both physical safety and emotional comfort. Before you leave, we’ll review your dog’s care instructions, walking equipment, household boundaries, veterinary contacts, and emergency arrangements. I’m careful with doors and gates, follow your handling instructions, and give dogs space from unfamiliar animals on walks. I respect their body language and let affection and trust develop at their pace. You’ll receive thoughtful photo updates and prompt communication about anything concerning. I treat your home, keys, belongings, and privacy with care, follow agreed plant and household instructions, and leave the spaces I use clean and orderly. My goal is for you to feel comfortable handing over the keys—and happy when you come home.
About: I've loved and cared for dogs for years, and I know that every dog has their own personality and routine. I've looked after energetic puppies learning the ropes, easygoing adults, and senior dogs who need a slower pace and extra comfort. I'm comfortable with feeding schedules, medication, potty training, leash walks, and spotting small changes in behavior or health. I stay calm in new situations, keep a close eye on how your dog is settling in, and send regular photo and video updates so you can relax while you're away I'm home full-time, so your pup will never be left alone for long stretches. Their day fits naturally into mine: morning walks, mealtimes on their usual schedule, playtime and cuddles through the afternoon, and an evening stroll before bedtime. Because I'm always around, I can give extra attention to puppies who need frequent potty breaks, seniors who need a slower pace, or dogs who get anxious without company. You'll get regular photo and video updates, and I'm easy to reach any time you want to check in For visits at your home, I follow your instructions closely, stick to your pet's normal routine, and leave everything tidy. I'll send a quick update after every visit. And if your pet stays in my clean, cozy, pet-friendly apartment, with no other animals to compete for attention. I'm home most of the day, so they get their usual routine, regular walks, and playtime, plus a comfy spot with their own bed or blanket. There's a dog park nearby for off-leash fun, and cats get a quiet space and lots of play. You'll get regular photo and video updates

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Seattle
Needed a cat sitter to drop in for four days. 3/4 days I requested Aubrey to drop in twice a day for 30 minutes each. Had her come and meet my kitty and I a few days prior. I was notified about each visit and Aubrey sent a few pictures and a summary of the visits. Seamless. Thanks Aubrey!
Sydney did such a wonderful job taking care of my senior cat Luna! My cat needs liquid medication mixed in her wet food twice a day and Sydney went above and beyond to try different combinations of wet food to ensure my cat would finish her dose. She gave very thorough written reports and was very communicative, and kept my cat company beyond the required 30 minute period since she gets pretty lonely. I would definitely hire her again the next time I need a sitter!
5 stars for Tetiana! Tetiana is timely, communicative, tidy, and thorough, and I feel at ease knowing my kitty is in her care. I personally appreciate that Tetiana doesn't try to force interaction with my scaredy cat, which may frighten her even more: she makes sure she has food, fresh water, a clean litterbox, and her meds, which is all she needs :)
I can't see myself having a better sitter for my sweet cat Cleo than Maryia! She goes above and beyond every time (and takes the best cat photos as well) - I've booked Maryia for about 2 years now and a half of a dozen times, and I couldn't ask for more - thanks Maryia.
Marie took great care of my boy Jay, and I was able to travel out of town with peace of mind. Jay had a great time playing with her while I was gone, and loved to see the cute pics and videos of him with the cat toys! This was my first time with a cat sitter and could not have asked for a better experience.

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 .

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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
