“Bobbi took wonderful care of Isaac and Jefe while we were away. When we returned, both dogs were clearly happy and comfortable which says everything. She made sure Isaac received his medications on schedule and handled the extra work of cleaning up after Jefe (who isn’t fully house-trained) with patience and kindness. Even with a tight 30-minute window, Bobbi somehow managed to get everything done and fit in a couple walks. She truly had it down to a science. It gave us great peace of mind knowing the dogs were in such capable, caring hands. We're very grateful and would absolutely book with Bobbi again.”
“What great peace of mind to know that our girl,Deva was so well cared for by Dana while we were away. Really loved the photos and reports. We look forward to using the service again. Purrs.... Debbie R.”
“So happy to have found Katelyn, my dogs love her and they always are more relaxed when I get home since she visits, takes them out and plays with them for a bit. We will continue to request her.”
About: I have had pets since I was born, and from age 5 I started to help withtheir care. I have always had a deep love for animals. I have had cats, dogs, guinea pigs, mice, rabbits, etc. I may not be a professional, however, I believe I am pretty knowledgeable about cats and dogs, their care, and some training. 3rd year in college, studying mathematics at WSU. I have had pets all my life back home and I lived them all sooo much. I am free most of days of the week in between my classes, good for drop ins and dog walks :) Lots of play, cuddle, excercise and attention. What ever the pet needs and wants, I try my best to fullfil. If they need to let out energy, let them play in the yard, if they need alone time, let them nap, etc. Lots of toys and enrichment activities, and lots of love.
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.
“Qing is very organized, easy to communicate with and impressed me with her exceptional skills handled my senior cat’s medication schedule very well! Qing follows all of my instructions precisely, monitored for changes, and kept me updated with long detailed notes and lots of photos. My cat can be anxious around new people but Qing never disappoints as she handled introductions slowly and respectfully. Her behavior expertise made all the difference and I felt completely at ease! I would always highly recommend her!”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life ranging from small dogs such as my current dog Mochi, to large dogs. Being around animals especially dogs has always been something that I’ve enjoyed and have had lots of experience with growing up. My experiences range from the needs of puppies all the way to elderly dogs with their healthcare needs, which makes me more than willing to provide care for your pet. I’m currently available at all times for taking care of your dog during the day, coming by to check in and let your dog out for bathroom breaks, and taking them on walks. When walking your dog I’ll make sure they are well supervised and kept safe while also following any given instructions to ensure they have an enjoyable walk. For care at your home I’ll follow your pets regular routine and any specific needs or rules for them.
“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: 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..
“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.”
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.
About: Devoted owner of pitbull-boxer mix, Humane Society rescue for 13+ years until he passed last summer. Have always had dogs in my life. Heart too bruised to adopt again, but too big to not be in service to the best creatures on earth. Empty nester with an incredibly flexible schedule. I'm a younger, newly retired k-12 public educator that walks EVERY day. After losing our dog last summer, I would love to share my energy and heart with new-to-me dog friends. Incredibly dependable and committed. Clear communicator. We have a secure back yard, one level home in quiet cul-de-sac for short term stays. Love engaging and caring for all precious pups ❤️
“Angel is truly the best. He took care of our two dogs and a visiting friend's dog, so we could all attend a surprise birthday party for my husband. We both always feel good knowing Angel is caring for our dogs. Highly recommend Angel.”
About: Hello! My name is Clarissa. I grew up on a 20 acre farm in Roy, which began my love of animals. I have one wonderful cat and a cattle dog husky mix. I work as a claims manager full time, but I am available after 4:30 pm and on weekends and holidays that my office is closed (ex: Christmas, 4th of July, New Years) I care for pets in the clients home mostly, as my yard is not fenced. I am however, able to watch small, dog and cat friendly creatures in my home as long as they would not require a fenced yard.
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.
“Misao took amazing care of our cat while we were out of town. She was very conscientious, gave us regular updates, brought in our mail and packages, and left the house cleaner than when we left. Not only was she incredibly sweet, she was timely, followed our detailed instructions perfectly and was overall a great pet sitter! Highly recommend and would hire again :)”
“Briana and her partner made sure my cats were well taken care of and safe! There was a heat wave so they hooked up my ac unit for the cats. I feel so assured and they are in great hands!”
“Tiffany was amazing! She took such good care of our 4 dogs while we were out of town for the week. She kept them on schedule and in their normal routines, it's like we were even gone! She went above and beyond to make sure we came home to a calm house.”

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.
Kennedy is incredible! I was hesitant to hire a dog walker because I worried my dog wouldn’t connect with them or they wouldn’t be able to handle her properly. However, Kennedy immediately won over my 2-year-old vizsla, who can be a bit nervous in new situations and around new people. From the start, Kennedy also put me at ease with her calm, empathetic, and highly communicative approach. Her deep knowledge of dog behavior is truly impressive, and she is incredibly in tune with my dog’s specific needs. She has effortlessly handled situations and behaviors that I often find challenging, doing so with confidence, skill, and zero judgment. I feel so lucky to have found Kennedy and only wish I had sooner. If you’re looking for someone who will care for your dog as if they were her own, Kennedy is the one!

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 Steilacoom 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.

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.
