Cassandra checked in on Pepper over the holidays and did a great job! Pepper even got sick and Cassandra was kind enough to clean it up. Cassandra did a great job of reading Pepper’s body language and giving her space when needed and snuggles when Pepper wanted.

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!

About: I have several years of experience caring for dogs through both house sitting and pet sitting for friends, family, and clients. While living in Houston, I regularly cared for dogs for extended stays, including senior dogs that required extra patience, attention, and consistency with their routines. Since moving to Seattle, I've continued helping friends with dog care, including walks, drop-in visits, and longer stays. I'm comfortable with feeding schedules, exercise, administering basic care, monitoring behavior, and providing companionship while owners are away. My goal is always to help dogs feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for in their familiar environment!! Pet care fits naturally into my routine, and I make sure every pet receives plenty of attention and care. I'm available on weekdays after 5:30 PM, except Wednesdays. On weekends, I have a very flexible schedule and am generally available starting at 9:00 AM. Whether your pet needs a walk, a drop-in visit, or extended care, I'm committed to providing reliable, attentive service and keeping their routine as consistent as possible. I live in a pet-friendly apartment community with plenty of safe walking areas, a dog park on the property, and additional parks nearby. I share my home with two friendly, well-socialized cats who are comfortable around dogs. When caring for pets, I prioritize safety, consistency, and following each owner's instructions and routines. Whether in my home or a client's home, I make sure pets receive plenty of attention, exercise, companionship, and a clean, comfortable environment while their owners are away.

Akiko was absolutely wonderful! Our dog had a really hard time the first few visits with having a new person taking care of him (he was hiding and being shy). Akiko was very communicative, gentle, and patient with him. Akiko took the time to ask us about his personality, his favorite toys, how he liked to play, etc. By the end of the trip, he was jumping up and down with excitement to see her. And she sent lots of video and picture updates to keep us feeling connected to our dog. Highly recommend and plan to use again!

We highly recommend Kevin! This was the second time he watched our dog and cat, and once again, he did an amazing job. He takes great care of them, giving us peace of mind while we're away. It’s clear he genuinely cares for our pets, and we always feel comfortable knowing they’re in good hands. We’ll definitely be booking with him again!

Carly was amazing! Very flexible as I had to schedule the visits last minute. Excellent communication and she took lots of photos of my two boys! My one cat is very skittish and tends to hide around new people but he came out for her and let her give him pets! They clearly liked and trusted her. Very grateful to know they were taken such good care of while I was away. Will definitely use her again in the future!

Molly is such a great person to have for pet sitting. There was no issue communicating with her. She was able to adjust the visiting time after request, and spent a lot of attention, and play time to my pet. I love she left a small description what she did per visit. I would love to keep having her for my pet in the future!

About: I'm a software engineer working from home looking to break up my day with some exercise. You will find me to be reliable and communicative. I love dogs. I adopted Wally from shelter 10 years ago, and he's been getting 10k steps a day ever since. I frequently care for friends' dogs, and would love to help yours get out more. I'm a freelance software engineer with control over my schedule and a very predictable routine. I can accommodate walks almost any time during the day with a little notice. I live in an apartment in SLU with a very high energy beagle. I know how to keep him stimulated and and well exercised. We know all the parks and neighborhoods nearby and where to get a drink of water on a hot day.

Madeline was an absolute delight! She absolutely spoiled Hallie and Annie with love and attention. And we felt equally as spoiled with her thorough write-ups, photos and videos. Madeline even left us with watercolor portraits of Hallie and Annie that I will forever cherish and plan to frame! Madeline is a gem - I would love to work with her again in the future because it’s clear she truly cares for our fur babies like they’re her own. Thank you, Madeline!

Aastha was wonderful and took great care of our cat, Ozzie, while we were away. We came home to a happy, well-fed cat, which gave us so much peace of mind during our trip. She provided thoughtful daily updates along with photos and detailed notes that we genuinely looked forward to reading each day. It was clear that she paid close attention to Ozzie and followed all of our instructions carefully. Knowing Ozzie was in such good hands made traveling much less stressful.
