About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my strong foundation in professional animal care and my passion for creating stress-free, positive experiences for pets. I’m Fear Free Certified, so I’m trained in techniques that help reduce fear, anxiety, and stress in animals—especially helpful for nervous or shy pets. I’m also a veterinary professional where on a daily basis I deal with animal behavior, health, and basic care. This knowledge helps me better understand your pet’s needs, whether they’re a rambunctious puppy, a senior with special care requirements, or anything in between. I approach every animal with patience, empathy, and respect—and I truly treat them like part of the family. I work at a veterinary clinic from Tuesday to Friday usually. I'm available weekends and Mondays all day, then available every night for petsitting. I have reliable transportation and will be able to watch pets in their home if need be to avoid stress of car rides and new places. I am very attentive to each pets need, because just like humans, each pet is different!
About: I have had pets since I was five. I have had little and big dogs, dogs with challenging behaviors, cats and farm animals. My pets have always been part of the family. I enjoy caring for our four legged family and look forward to helping you with yours! Pet sitting fits my routine because I have a flexible schedule with time to give. I enjoy walking rain or shine and find joy in spending time with animals. I make sure their needs are met and get the playtime and attention they deserve. It is a honor to be trusted with your pets care so safety, comfort and it’s happiness is my top priority. With a focus on keeping a clean environment and personalizing pet care for your pet.
“We are so grateful for the wonderful care Katherine provided! Katherine was available on short notice during an emergency, which was such a relief during a stressful time. Katherine followed all our detailed instructions, was thorough and attentive in her care, and provided prompt updates that gave us peace of mind. We truly appreciated her reliability, kindness, and attention to detail. We would gladly trust Katherine with our pets again and highly recommend her!”
About: I took care of my mother’s dog while she was away at work. I now live with 3 dogs and while my roommates are busy with work, I make sure their pets’ needs are met as I have a flexible schedule I have a part-time janitorial job at multiple mental health facilities. I have a great amount of time on my hands in between morning and evening shifts. It’s perfect timing for a check-in or walk :) I tend to my roommates pets while they are at work because I’m usually home before them. I have a cat and take litter box clean up and odors *very* seriously.
“Thank you so much, Emily. I’m very very grateful that you took good care of my little boy cat. The house looked great no disruptions no complaints and I hope that you will continue doing pet sitting because I will definitely ask you again in the future to take care of Tigger. I highly recommend anyone looking for a pet sitter to call on Emily.”
About: I have cared for dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, fish, horses, cows, chickens, and ducks from a very young age. For the last 13 years I have worked in the pet food industry developing a knowledge and passion for pet health, behavior and nutrition. My current work schedule is Tues-Sat, I am available for walks, potty breaks and feedings before or after my shifts. Sunday and Monday there is more flexibility in my schedule and I can do mid day drop ins or longer distance runs/walks with higher activity level pets. I would love to meet you and your pet to discuss any special needs or requirements for their care. I have a fenced yard and live in walking distance to a public park and school field that can be used before/after school hours. I prefer to work with your pet in the environment which they are most comfortable, your home. I am open to short stays at my home if that is what is best for your situation.
About: I’ve always loved animals and have experience caring for both cats and dogs. I currently have three cats of my own, and growing up I had a Maltese Poodle who was a very special part of my family. I also regularly care for dogs while providing childcare, so I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, and giving pets plenty of love and attention. I treat every animal with patience, care, and kindness. 🐾❤️ I work part time! But I am available Monday/Wednesday/sunday all day! And anytime after 6 on other days! I am also available early mornings before 9 am! I’ll care for your pets in the comfort of their own home, keeping them in their familiar environment and following their usual routine as closely as possible. I’ll make sure they’re fed, have fresh water, get plenty of attention and playtime, and receive any other care you normally provide. I’ll treat your home and your pets with the same care and respect I would my own. 🐾❤️
“Kristine did an amazing job taking care of our cats while we were away. She was reliable, communicative, and kept us updated with each visit, which gave us a lot of peace of mind. Our cats were well cared for, and everything at home was in great condition when we returned. We really appreciated her help and would definitely book with her again. Highly recommend!”
“Soleil is amazing! She was so good with my slow-to-warm/shy kitties, getting them to eat and come out of hiding even on her very first visit. I was able to enjoy my time away even more knowing that my guys were in such good hands. She didn't bat an eye at my very thorough instructions and reassured me that she could manage their needs. And she totally did. Highly recommend!”

About: I’ve cared for dogs and cats of all sizes, ages, and temperaments. I always approach each animal with patience, respect, and a calm energy. Over the years, I’ve provided drop-in visits, dog walking, and house sitting for an array of pets. I’m comfortable administering medication and adjusting care based on each pet’s needs. Whether your pet is playful, shy, or somewhere in between, I’ll provide dependable care and treat them like they’re my own. I’m currently on a break from school, so I have a very open and flexible schedule. I’m available on weekdays and weekends, both mornings and evenings, and I’m happy to work with whatever routine works best for you and your pet. I do ask that bookings be made 1 to 3 days in advance, depending on the service. Cancellations are always allowed, but to receive a full refund, they must be made at least 24 hours before the scheduled booking. My goal is to make pet care as smooth and stress-free as possible, for both you and your animal. I only provide care in the client’s home, and I treat that space with the same respect I give to the pets I’m caring for. I believe I’m a guest in the pet’s environment, so I take a gentle approach and let them guide the pace of our interaction. My focus is on understanding their needs and making them feel safe and secure on their terms. I’m comfortable following specific routines, including feeding schedules, medication, crate use, or outdoor time. My own pets have unique needs, such as frequent small meals and scheduled walks, so I understand how important it is to honor what works best for each animal. I’m especially patient with pets who need extra time, space, or care due to anxiety, age, or personality. When caring for pets in your home, I keep things clean, respectful, and focused entirely on your animal’s well-being. I will clean up any messes and make sure your home is left just as you entrusted it to me.

I currently am in school and working part-time but I am quite flexible and reliable with providing personal and detailed fur family needs. If available, I am wiling to do the utmost for your needs. I am available to care for your animals in the safety and comfort of their own home and routine, easing the stress of being left behind.
About: Hi, I’m Sarah! I have 17 years of experience caring for dogs and cats of different ages, sizes, and personalities. I understand that every pet has their own routine, comfort level, and unique needs, so I take the time to help them feel safe, loved, and at home. I’m dependable, patient, attentive, and committed to following your instructions carefully. Whether your pet enjoys playtime, walks, cuddles, or simply having a calm companion nearby, I’ll provide the same loving care and attention I would want for my own pets. I’ll also keep you updated so you can feel comfortable and confident while you’re away. I’m a stay-at-home mom who loves animals, so pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I’m home throughout much of the day and can plan walks, feeding, playtime, and check-ins around each pet’s needs. I’ll confirm availability and care instructions with you before booking. My home sits on half an acre with a fully fenced yard, giving pets plenty of safe space to run, play, and explore. Pets are welcome throughout my large, pet-friendly home so they can feel comfortable and relaxed while staying with us. We live in a quiet, friendly neighborhood with walking areas and a dog park nearby. For the safety and comfort of all pets in my care, I keep boarding limited and carefully select the animals I welcome into my home. I focus on providing personalized attention and maintaining a calm, low-stress environment rather than boarding large numbers of pets at once.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Spanaway
Michael has been an absolute saint. The fur babies love him and trust him. My one, Bean, is a very shy and timid cat. She does not like people but within a couple of weeks of Michael visiting she soon trusted him then gives him snuggles and kisses. As soon as I met Michael I knew he could be trusted with my babies. There is a safe and calm energy with him which is why I believe my cats trusted him so fast. I will forever recommend Michael to anyone in the area.
Katelyn was very attentive to our two cats, and was willing to deal with special diets for both of them, as well as medication for our older cat. She was very respectful of our home and easy to communicate with, responsive, and sent us lots of great and helpful pictures. We would definitely like to have her back the next time we need someone to watch the cats!
Bre rooked really good care of our kitties. Even though it was a last minute request, she accommodated setting up a last minute meet n greet and looking after my kitties. She provided several updates, pictures and loved on them while we were away. I would definitely recommend her to any pet owners looking for a pet sitter.
Our cat loved Tobi immediately and he usually runs away from new people. Tobi spent quality time with our cat Sansa and took the time to feed, brush and take care of all his needs. We have never had strangers take care of our beloved pets before and we were weary at first but after the great care Tobi provided we are sold on Rover and would definitely recommend Rover and Tobi for your pets.
Alyssa saved the day! We had accidentally left a gate closed in the house and our cats couldn't access the litterbox upstairs. She lives nearby us and was able to be to our house so quickly and also gave our kitties some loving ❤️ very trustworthy and will absolutely use her again!

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
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.
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.

- 85% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 88% 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.
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.
