“Kennedy did everything we could have asked for and more when checking in on our pups! She was responsive to our messages/requests and informative in her reports, even letting us know when she saw aberrant behavior that might indicate a sore. Would absolutely rely on her again!”
“Chris is very reliable and communicative. I know he will take good care of my rambunctious puppy, and give him some nice playtime. And Archie loves to see Chris!”
“Brenda is always on time, and stay extra longer if needed. We had a worry free trip because I know my dogs are in good hands. Can't wait to book her again!!!”
“Annie was an easy choice to take care of our two cats while we were away. From the start, she was responsive and flexible. She followed every care instruction, was respectful of our space, and importantly, was attentive to our girls. : )”
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.
“Blake was super communicative and took lots of pictures! She was very friendly and my dog loved her immediately! I would definitely use her services again!”
“Dana was so great with my dog! Immediately my pup was at ease upon meeting Dana and I felt comforted knowing my dog was going be taken care of so sweetly while I was at work. I highly recommend Dana!”
About: I've been caring for dogs since I was 10! I grew up with multiple dogs and even taught them fun tricks, one of them learned how to skateboard. 🛹🐶 I work fully remote and only accept one dog (or one family's pets) at a time, so your pup will receive plenty of attention in a calm, loving home. I treat every dog like family and always make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. 🤍 I work fully remote, so I'm home throughout the day and have a flexible schedule to give your pet lots of attention. My evenings and weekends are flexible too, so they'll have plenty of company and care. 🤍 I have a clean, pet-friendly home and don't have any pets of my own, so your pet will have my full attention. I only care for one pet (or one family's pets) at a time to provide a calm, comfortable environment.
“Erin took the extra time to try to befriend my cat, she was able to get him to take his medication and though I'm sure the cat wasn't happy about it, it provided great relief to me that she was able to take care of him.”
“Marie was absolutely wonderful! Communicative, reliable, and gave Eevee lots of care and attention. We will definitely be booking Marie again and could not recommend her more!”
“Jessica is my favorite cat sitter I've worked with since using Rover! She was extremely communicative, making sure I knew when she'd be over, and sent me tons of pictures/videos playing with my boys. She made an effort to accommodate my schedule with getting/returning the keys, and took the job on short notice. She even carried in a heavy Chewy package for me without me even asking her to. I will be hiring her again next time I'm out of town!”
“Dalara and her husband Jack are the most wonderful pet sitters ever! The care, attention to detail, follow up with visual aids (pictures), professionalism, and the love they both have for their job and their furry clients are just a few shining examples of their superior work ethic. We were gone for few days and I could enjoy my trip knowing they were there taking care of and giving the best of care to my 18plus years old senior dog. Dalara and Jack took the job and everything is covered to insure the best quality care will be given to your pets and I assure you it is given. Not only are your pets given the best of care, but also the house was in pristine condition when we got home. All I can say is wow and words cannot describe how impressed we all in my family are about your pet sitter service, I am so totally amazed ! I need never look for any other pet sitter or kennel ever again. I have found Dalara and Jack, the veery very best !!!! ***** Five stars plus for you all Dalara and Jack. You’re both great team and you’re highly recommended.”
“Val did a great job and I was highly impressed. This was my first river experience and Val was incredibly reassuring, caring, and helpful. She spent time playing and taking care of my cats and gave me detailed updates. I really appreciated her attention to my cats such as how well they ate or if they didn’t eat and how she addressed that. She also sent me lots of pictures and I could tell my cats trusted her too. I would definitely recommended Val.”
“Kevin has been all we hoped for and more! Our dog adores him. He's so good with her and gives her lots of attention as is obvious by the amount of hair we came back to on the floor, lol. We are looking forward to working with him in the future!”
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.
About: I have a lot of experience with elderly dogs. The last dog I adopted was 16 years old when I picked him up from the shelter; he had been left there over COVID and he required a lot of nail care, tooth brushing, and regular bathing. I have patience for older dogs and I think that they're just as precious as puppies. I work events security/wedding catering and tend to only really work Fridays-Sundays but I have availability on the weekends sometimes. I am able to share screen captures of my schedules while coordinating or setting up longer term care schedules I will keep the owner updated with photos and periodic text messages to let them know how their pet is doing in my care as well as try to plan ahead and keep clear communication throughout
The median cost per visit for pet sitting in Seattle is $25

Sami went above and beyond to give our cats the best care possible. She helped take care of small extra tasks like watering the plants and checking the mailbox which was really helpful since we were gone for a whole month, and when one of our cats started scratching himself excessively, she helped us troubleshoot what might be wrong and started feeding him wet food daily which really helped him a lot. She always sent pictures of the litter box, water and kitties in the check-ins which really helped ease my mind that all was well so I could fully enjoy my vacation. Thank you so much Sami!
Marie-Rose was absolutely amazing, and I couldn't have asked for a better pet sitter! From our very first meeting, she was professional, organized, and genuinely cared about making sure she understood every detail of my cat's routine. She took careful notes about my cat's care, preferences, and feeding schedule, which immediately gave me confidence that my pet was in excellent hands. While I was away, Marie-Rose kept me updated with thoughtful messages, along with plenty of pictures and videos. Seeing my cat happy, relaxed, and well cared for every day gave me complete peace of mind. I never once worried about my cat because I knew she was receiving exceptional care. It's clear that Marie-Rose truly loves animals and treats them as if they were her own. She is reliable, attentive, compassionate, and goes above and beyond to ensure both pets and their owners feel comfortable. I wholeheartedly recommend Marie-Rose to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and professional pet sitter. She exceeded all of my expectations, and I will absolutely be using her services again. Five stars isn't enough! Julia
Claire is an amazing pet sitter! Claire looks after our kitties quite often and she is always reliable, on time, and takes such great care our girls. She spends time playing with them and gives them plenty of love and attention while we're away, so we know they're happy and well cared for. It gives us real peace of mind knowing Claire is looking after them, and we couldn't recommend her more highly. Thanks so much Claire!
I had another wonderful experience with boarding my kitty at Sudharshini's home. Her sweet boy, Whidbey, and my cat have become great buddies. It is so comforting to know that he is having fun and being cared for when I am out of town. She sends me the most adorable photos and videos and is proactive and reliable at communicating. I highly recommend and will continue to use her as my go-to for boarding my kitty!

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 July 2026, there are 13,068 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
- 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.
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.
