“Bobbie is amazing I could not have asked for better she went above and beyond for us. Bo loved her when she met with us before I left! She made time to visit and co.e over before I left. We adore her and rover is awesome 👌”
“Dana was great! I came home to happy, healthy pets. She kept me informed after each visit, and notified me of any alterations (eg, cats were eating a little less than normal while I was gone, so she cut down on the daily food amount). I would recommend her to anyone needing cat care.”
About: I’ve had dogs and cats since I was 5 years old. I’ve taken care of many different breeds of dogs. I have been trusted to take care of, walk, feed and play with friends and families dogs and cats In both my own home and theirs. Both of my dogs have passed away now. My boy was 14.5 years old when he passed in June 2026. My girl passed in April 2024. Being able to care for other animals while not fully ready to have my own fur baby again will help me with the loneliness of not having my baby here any longer. I am available for all care levels from drop in to house sitting. I am currently unemployed, so i currently have open availability to walk and care for others pets. I am available any day of the week, and look forward to connecting with you and your beloved fur babies. I have a nice size yard that is fully fenced allowing dogs to be able to run and play freely. I do have another dog in the home who is friendly with other dogs, she is an Australian Shepherd. I am able to crate either dog at anytime if necessary. I am a big cuddle lover, if you prefer your animals not to be on the couch, please let me know so I don’t have them on the furniture.
“Alexa and Connor were so sweet to my kitties. They gave them all of the snuggles and playtime as if my cats were their own. Absolutely will be using them again!”
About: Throughout my life I've had 4 dogs. Currently I have two, with one being a 2-year-old pup I've been training ever since I adopted her and one that's pretty old and requires some special care. I used to work as a dog groomer for a business called Kendra's Grooming and I would watch her dogs when she went away with her family for vacation. For Kendra's Grooming I would bathe, dry, and hold dogs whenever needed. All of my classes are online currently for the summer and I'm open whatever day of the weekdays and Saturdays along with whatever time or for however long. So, I'm able to work whatever time is needed. I would be able to keep a constant eye on your pup, take them on however many walks you would want, and would be able to care for them in whatever way is needed. I've worked with animals with all sorts of personalities and in varying stages of health, so I can work with any form of animal, and I can accommodate for any of your pet's unique needs.
About: I am a huge animal lover! I own a cat and dog of my own and have been responsible to take care of my family’s pets since I was young. I have done pet sitting since I was 14. I currently am enrolled in school for most mornings and have a part time job. I still am available to play and spend time with your animals from noon to late evenings from Sunday-Saturday! I make sure doors are closed and environments are safe to play and have an animal in. My top priority is the animals safety at all times.
“Tatiana was a Wonderful dog sitter for my two boys this week! She clearly loves dogs and has a special way with them, and my boys clearly loved her right back! Super communicative and responsive, sending lots of photos. I would not hesitate to recommend her highly and will absolutely use her again! Thank you Tatiana!”

“Sophie is super sweet, came a little early to meet my pug for the first visit, and he felt comfortable with her instantly! She’s super flexible and on time. I know my Benjamin is in good hands with her! Will continue to rebook in the future.”
About: I’ve always been an animal lover. When I returned to Washington in 2013, my roommate, who had show dogs, taught me how to raise them for two years. I’m a dog enthusiast through and through, and life feels incomplete without a furry companion by my side. Currently, I’m unemployed and studying for my real estate license exam, so I have ample time to dedicate to my furry friends. My schedule is flexible and can accommodate any pet’s needs. When I take my furry family for walks, I ensure we both wear high-visibility gear so that everyone knows I’m carrying precious cargo. I’m also a vlogger, and I love sharing memorable moments with all my furry mates..
About: I've been caring for animals for many years and understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs. Whether it's energetic puppies, senior dogs, cats who prefer a quieter approach, or pets with special instructions, I take the time to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I know how important it is to trust someone with a member of your family. That's why I treat every pet as if they were my own. Providing plenty of attention, playtime, exercise, affection, and consistent care while keeping their routines as normal as possible. I'm dependable, detail-oriented, and pride myself on excellent communication. You'll receive regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is happy and well cared for while you're away. Whether you need drop-in visits, walks, overnight care, or extended stays, my goal is simple: give your pet a safe, fun, and stress-free experience while giving you complete peace of mind. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine! As a self-employed business owner, I have the flexibility to adjust my schedule to meet your pet's needs. While I do work during the day, I stay close to home and can provide multiple drop-in visits, potty breaks, walks, feedings, and plenty of attention throughout the day. Evenings and weekends are completely open, allowing me to spend quality time with your pets when they need it most. Whether your furry family member needs a quick check-in, overnight care, or lots of love and playtime, I'm committed to providing dependable, attentive care while keeping you updated with photos and messages for peace of mind. Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet's routine, personality, preferences, and any special instructions so they can feel as comfortable and stress-free as possible. In my home, pets enjoy a clean, safe environment with a large, fully fenced backyard for supervised play and plenty of room to explore. I live in a quiet neighborhood that's perfect for peaceful walks. Pets are never left outside unattended, and I closely monitor playtime, meals, and any medications or special care they may need. When caring for pets in a client's home, I respect your home as if it were my own while keeping your pet's routine consistent. Whether it's feeding, walks, potty breaks, playtime, cuddles, medication, or simply providing companionship, I make sure they receive attentive, loving care. I know how hard it can be to leave your pet, so I provide regular photo and video updates throughout their stay, giving you peace of mind that they're happy, safe, and in great hands. My goal is for both you and your pet to feel completely comfortable from the moment we meet until you're reunited.
“It was a pleasure working with Kelsey while I was gone visiting family. She showed up at the time scheduled, gave my rabbits attention, cleaned up their area often, and communicated consistently. She even brought them lettuce and crafted a little hay roll in a paper towel cardboard for them to play with. I could tell my rabbits were happy and healthy. I would recommend Kelsey and plan to reach out to her again in the future!”
“Kim is reliable, trustworthy, and great with the dogs! Great communication! I’ve had her come for house stays as well as visits and will not hesitate to continue to work with her.”
About: I have loved dogs my whole life but have never had one of my own. Because of this, I’ve become the go-to guy for all my friends’ dogsitting needs. I spent 2020 as a professional dog walker in Boston and fine tuned my skills at handling multiple dogs at a time. I have picked up training skills and also enjoy taking photos of my furry friends! Additionally, I have cared for dogs of all shapes and sizes. Every dog is different in how much attention or exercise they need and I’m always ready to adapt to best take care of them. I love getting to know dogs and their unique personalities and I hope I can get to know yours too! While I may be a dog person, I love all animals and have met my share of cool cats so please consider me to care for all kinds of fur babies. I’m currently caring for two golden doodles, Muffin & Brandy, for the summer. If you ask them, we have a great routine of food, sleep and play! I know every pet has specific needs and I am always looking to meet those so they can live their best lives. I’m capable of handling dogs with high energy levels or chill out with kitties that just want to snooze. I’m always vigilant as well since I know our pals can sometimes be sneaky.

Kim is a fantastic sitter. I’ve tried several sitters for my two pups that both have very differing needs, Kim is by far the best. She understands dog’s needs. Leaving the dogs with her adds a level of relaxation to our trips knowing my precious pups are being well cared for.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Steilacoom stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills.

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 .

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.
