“We love Marie! She’s our top choice to take care of our meows. She’s so detailed and knows exactly what to do with them. She makes sure they are well taken care of.”
About: As a lifelong animal lover, I share my home with two Huskies, Thor and Bird, along with two cats. Growing up around a wide variety of animals gave me hands-on experience with diverse breeds and temperaments. Additionally, my father is a veterinary surgeon with over 50 years of experience, which instilled in me a deep respect for animal health, safety, and proper care protocols from an early age. Highly flexible availability for in-home care, house sitting, and local meet-ups. While I cannot accommodate boarding in my own home due to my resident pets, I am fully available to travel to you. Message me directly to coordinate scheduling, logistics, and care instructions. For your convenience and peace of mind, I am available to provide care directly at your home or arrange meet-and-greets within the Maple Valley and Renton areas. To ensure a seamless experience, we can discuss specific scheduling, location details, and care instructions via Rover chat.
About: I’ve had cats since I was a baby, and I was tasked with feeding them and cleaning their litter once I was old enough, and I have a few tricks up my sleeve regarding their medication. I’ve been around a variety of pets my whole life, so I’m very adaptable. I’m also welcoming of any special needs pets, seniors or otherwise! If they’re blind, deaf, paralyzed, can’t control their bladder, need wound care, you name it, I’m perfectly fine with all of it. The amount of pets doesn’t bother me either. If you need a quiet presence for your fur-babies, or one that can keep up with high-energy or high-maintenance pets, I’m your sitter! If there’s one thing I can guarantee, it’s that your fur-babies will be given a lot of love and attention under my care, even if it’s from afar. Your fur-babies needs and comfort come first, regardless of how cute they are, so if they’re wary of strangers I’ll keep my distance. Their boundaries will not be pushed, and I will do my best to not stress them unnecessarily unless I think their safety is at risk. If you have any further questions, feel free to contact me and ask, I’m happy to answer! As of right now, I’m taking a summer break from college and have no active jobs that require me to go in person. So I’d say my schedule is probably one of the freest one’s you’ll see. The few responsibilities I have can be attended remotely as long as I have a working computer, but they never take more than two hours at most. Unfortunately, caring for your pets at my own home is not currently available and is incredibly unlikely to be, as I DO live with my parents and they gave a very adamant “no” to that idea. So apologies about that, however I’m more than happy to stay overnight if needed! If your fur-babies have special quirks or need special care, I’m perfectly capable of giving it as long as detailed written instructions are left. However I may ask for a visual demonstration in certain cases, but they’re not required as long as the instructions are written down. I’ll try to stay in the same general vicinity/room as your pets unless instructed otherwise or I notice the action is stressing them, or if they go into a room you don’t want me in. Otherwise, what I do will depend on your instructions to me or what your pet(s) want! Once everything has been attended to for the day and your pets have no longer wish to play, I will be chilling near your pet reading a book or on my phone. During longer stays, I may ask to bring my laptop or tablet. If it’s for more than five days, my laptop WILL be brought as there are certain things I need to attend to on or with it. Regardless of what I’m doing, I’ll always be keeping an eye on your fur-babies and drop what I’m doing if needed. If you have me stay overnight, I’ll bring my own pillow and blanket along with my overnight bag and use either the sofa or any provided sleeping arrangements. I also won’t touch anything in the fridge or pantry unless given EXPLICIT permission, and will instead order in or have my parents or a friend bring me something if I haven’t packed anything. If you have any further questions, feel free to reach out and ask me!
About: I’ve been caring for animals for over 10 years and have experience with both dogs and cats of all different ages, personalities, and needs. I’ve cared for seniors, special-needs pets, anxious animals, and pets who need oral medications or a little extra patience. I’m big on following each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible — meals, walks, medications, playtime, bedtime, and all the little things they’re used to at home. Some pets want to be attached to your hip, while others need time and space to warm up, and I’m happy to let them set the pace. I have two cats of my own and have had cats throughout my life, so I’m very comfortable with cat care as well as dogs. I’m used to everything from easygoing pets to the stubborn, mischievous, and “will absolutely eat that if you turn around for two seconds” variety. Most importantly, I want you to feel comfortable while you’re away. I’ll pay attention to your instructions, keep you updated, and make sure your pet is safe, comfortable, and getting plenty of attention. I spend most of my free time at home and have a pretty flexible routine, so I’m able to give pets plenty of attention, playtime and company. We always start the day with a morning walk before I head to work, and I’m usually home by 3pm for the rest of the afternoon and evening. When I’m not home, my husband usually is, so there’s typically someone around to keep an eye on things and give your pet some company. I can sometimes accommodate short-notice requests, and I live right next to two parks in a safe neighborhood with plenty of places to walk. My home is kept pretty pet-safe — my two cats are professional troublemakers, so they’ve made sure we don’t leave much out that curious pets can get into. It’s just my husband and me at home, so there aren’t lots of unfamiliar people coming and going. We have a fully fenced backyard, and the house is mostly hardwood and tile, so scratches, muddy paws, and normal pet messes aren’t something I stress about. If your pet needs their own space, they can also have an entire room to themselves for a quiet, comfortable place to relax.
About: [Preferred name: Keith , He/They] I’ve helped take care of my family dogs since age 10, most being larger dog breeds (german shepherd, huskies, pitbull). From puppy chaos, to older dog care I’ve seen it all. Willing to accommodate for whatever needs- All dogs have their unique quirks and even if its tucking them in at night, Im up to it! I currently work a part time stocking job that allows me to make my own schedule, so my availability is very flexible! For meet & greets I am usually free sometime between 10am and 6pm. Best Contact Hours: 8am to 8pm (PT) I remain available for contact through message or call consistently! If desired updates during care may be sent, whether requested beforehand or spontaneously. [including pictures & videos of course!!] I have reliable transportation and am also willing to allow pets in my vehicle. Of course accidents occur, for such I have a waterproof pet blanket to prevent damage of any kind! [accidents or extra cleaning will never bring complaints/charges as it is expected with pets]
“Yumeng is a very gentle and attentive cat sitter. She starts recording as soon as she enters the room and always uses disposable gloves and shoe covers. During the time she cared for Graycee, she changed her water, refilled her food, and played with her, showing great gentleness and patience. Also, she took a lot of cute pictures and videos of Graycee! We were very happy and felt completely at ease having Yumeng take care of Graycee while we were traveling.”
About: I’ve always had a love for animals, especially dogs! 🐾 I understand that every dog has their own unique personality, energy level, and needs. Whether your furry friend loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply relaxing, I want to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I understand the importance of patience, consistency, and positive reinforcement, especially when working with dogs who may experience anxiety, nervousness, or excitement around new people and environments. I treat every pet with the same love, attention, and respect I would want for my own. My goal is to provide a positive experience for your furry companion while giving you peace of mind knowing they’re in caring hands! ❤️ As a pet parent myself, caring for animals is already a natural part of my daily routine! 🐾 I enjoy maintaining an organized and flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate quality time to each furry friend. I offer drop-in visits and dog walking, whether your pet needs a refreshing walk, a potty break, feeding, playtime, or simply some extra companionship while you’re away. I understand the importance of consistency and will do my best to accommodate your pet’s usual routine and individual needs. My goal is to provide dependable, attentive care while giving you peace of mind throughout the day! ❤️ Your pet’s safety, happiness, and comfort are always my top priorities! 🐾 I understand that welcoming someone into your home and trusting them with your furry family member is a big decision. During drop-in visits, I carefully follow your instructions regarding feeding, fresh water, litter box cleaning, potty breaks, playtime, and any special routines your pet may have. For dog walks, I prioritize safe leash handling, awareness of our surroundings, and walks suited to your dog’s age, energy level, and comfort. I respect your home and your pet’s personal space, especially when caring for shy, anxious, or senior animals. I always aim to create a calm, positive experience without forcing interactions. I’m also happy to provide photos and updates during each visit so you know your furry companion is safe, comfortable, and receiving plenty of love and attention! ❤️
About: Dogs have always been a part of my family. But I love all animals. I have pet sat for several family friends so I am used to adapting to animal needs. Whether it be a dog, cat, or fish, I am happy to provide care and entertainment to your pet. Currently I am in grad school so I do have some classes, however there is a lot of availability in my schedule especially if you are looking for furry friend to go on a late afternoon walk. If I am in a client’s home I will always make sure to either have your pet on a leash or in a fenced in area, depending on permissions. My go to is follow the owner’s instructions, and if something comes up I will ask or take the safest option (ie leash always while outside). If a client’s pet is to stay with me, I do have a small dog park I can take them to.

“My standoffish cat warmed up to Shalindra. Shalindra maintained daily communication with pictures too! She left my home in good order. I will definitely use Shalindra again.”
About: I’ve been caring for cats, dogs, birds, rabbits, and many other animals for most of my life. I’ve had two wonderful dogs of my own, a Basset Hound and a Dachshund, who were a huge part of my heart. They were both pretty stubborn, so along the way I picked up some useful training skills as well. My schedule is flexible and can be adjusted with one week’s notice before the boarding date. Otherwise, I’m available anytime on weekends and weekdays after 5 p.m. I’m happy to coordinate and accommodate your scheduling needs whenever possible. I provide loving, attentive, and reliable care for every pet, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy in their own environment. I follow each pet’s routine for feeding, walks, playtime, and rest, while giving them plenty of affection and attention. I’m happy to follow specific instructions for medications, special diets, and individual needs. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident that your furry family member is in good hands. My goal is to make every pet feel loved, secure, and cared for while you’re away!

About: BIPOC REQUESTZ ONLY I have loved and spent time with Frend Dogz & Katz from early age. I grew up with a Frend Dog from when they was a puppy until they passed away at sixteen years old. I’ve also loved playing with my friend’s Frend Dogz & Katz. I pay attention to their personality and really try to understand what they may be needing/wanting at that time. I am currently a student taking online classes, so my hours are really flexible. I am also available for house sitting on weekends. Reach out to me for any questions/concerns! I live with my family who has four cats, so I would not be able to dog sit here. However, cat-sitting can be an option. Contact me for more info on this if interested.
About: Whether I’m babysitting, just going for a walk, or a play date, I’ll take care of your fur baby as if it was my own. I am the kind of person who sits on the floor with dogs I don’t even know just to get kisses. I also go to the off-leash park by myself just play with different races, sizes, etc and be more familiar with each. Who knew you couldn’t treat a chihuahua like a Great Dane? Or that greyhounds are quite lazy! I have the best vet in the area on speed dial but I’m also trained in dog cpr for minor scrapes or incidents. I don’t hesitate to act and like to solve problems myself instead of passing them on to you! That way you can come home to a happy pampered pooch! I absolute adore cats as well and I have 3 of my own. I can’t wait to meet and care for your 4-legged babies In the morning I pick up all the pups (for free!) then I bring them to daycare where we have a full day of fun making friends, playing, resting, etc until it’s time to drop the off with their mommies and daddies all over again Daycare and boarding have their own room with access to the yard and individual suites for pups that need breaks from the pack setting and mealtime

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 5,569 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Trude. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 .
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 , 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 .

sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
