“Amy did a phenomenal job looking after our place for an extended period of time! Not only did she do a great job looking after our two kitties, she’s also took out trash, brought in packages, and watered our plants. We love Amy!”


“Cathleen once again worked her magic on my motley crew. My old man has a lot of anxiety when I’m away, but it all melts away when Cathleen visits him. She is the pug whisper. She even knows how to manage my attention hog so everyone gets some love. She always go above and beyond, even helping out with little things like changing the bag in my litter box so I’m not coming home to any smells.”

“Madison came over to do a meet and greet with our special needs dog to see if there is a mutual fit. She was kind and asked good questions, we look forward to working with her!”

“Samantha is the greatest! She's great at communicating before and during her cat drop in visits, and she also does a great job managing routine care, pills, and angry cats who don't like strangers in their space. Looking forward to working with her again soon!”
“Caitlin was awesome! She was very communicative and did a perfect job looking after my cat, and she was very understanding when I didn’t update my address properly. Would absolutely re-book!”


About: Hi to all you pet lovers and pet owners out here in Seattle. If you need your Dog walked, once or daily, or if you need an in home, or an in hotel visit, call me. I'm currently located in the Capital Hil area. Dog or cat or bird. I am a certified Veterinary Asst. I have alot of previous experience. I also have alot of patience as I am the Mother of 3 grown boys and Grandmother of 2. I have taken care of many, many different kinds of animals. Because of my educational experience at the Vet. Asst. program your dog will be extremely safe, and taken care of well. We will only have fun, play, and get good exercise. We can also just hang out where it's cool or warm. Looking forward to meeting with you, and any of your animals!!!! Thanks, Kathy I'm an animal lover from way back and since I don't have any pets of my own I would love to be able to help other people with their animals!! I'd love to take care your cats, birds, and fish too. Hope to be able to help!!! I lno longer live in an apt. that is pet friendly. There are lpts of off leash areas close to the areas I walk, tho!!
“This was my first time booking with Emilia but certainly not my last! She was very consistent with thorough updates and provided many photos—I could tell she made my cats feel at ease. She even fed my beta/shrimp and watered my plants! If you’re looking for a caring, communicative and trustworthy sitter, Emilia is your person!”


About: As a 4th‑year Informatics student at the University of Washington, I’m naturally detail‑oriented and dependable — but my real foundation in pet care comes from growing up with 20+ breeds and species of animals. I’ve spent my whole life learning how different personalities communicate, what helps them feel safe, and how to build trust at their pace. I currently live with three cats, so I’m especially tuned in to the little things: body‑language shifts, routine preferences, and comfort cues. Whether I’m caring for a cat or a dog, I focus on creating a calm, predictable day — fresh food and water, clean spaces, gentle enrichment, and companionship that matches their energy. Every pet I care for gets the same patience, warmth, and respect I give my own. I’m a part‑time UW student and part‑time worker, so my schedule is steady and predictable. I build pet care into my daily routine — morning and evening check‑ins, fresh food and water, clean litter boxes, walks or playtime, and calm companionship. Weekly, I make sure pets get extra enrichment, light grooming, and a tidy, comfortable space. No matter how full my week is, your pet’s routine stays consistent and cared for. I share my apartment with three cats, so the environment here is naturally calm, pet‑friendly, and set up with animals in mind. There are plenty of cozy resting spots, clean spaces, and enrichment areas that keep pets comfortable and stimulated. Living with multiple cats has taught me how to maintain a peaceful, well‑managed home where routines stay consistent and every pet has room to feel safe and relaxed. Whether I’m caring for your cat or your dog, they’ll be in a space that’s warm, tidy, and designed with animals’ comfort in mind.
“Caroline is such a pro and genuinely loves animals. I totally trust her to give my cat with cardiac issues the medication that he needs. She was great at following the schedule needed as well! I loved the pictures she sent with every visit of the kitties enjoying their favorite treat. She updated me frequently and asked questions as they came up. I wholeheartedly recommend her to any special needs pet parent looking for a sitter.”


“Lyric was incredible! She did a Meet and Greet beforehand to learn the ropes and was more than willing to help administer two medications to my elder kitty. She we very communicative, took really fun photos of my fur kids, and even offered input on our journey to get a dog. She is a gem!”
“Sami went above and beyond to give our cats the best care possible. She helped take care of small extra tasks like watering the plants and checking the mailbox which was really helpful since we were gone for a whole month, and when one of our cats started scratching himself excessively, she helped us troubleshoot what might be wrong and started feeding him wet food daily which really helped him a lot. She always sent pictures of the litter box, water and kitties in the check-ins which really helped ease my mind that all was well so I could fully enjoy my vacation. Thank you so much Sami!”


“Stephanie was such a great pet sitter for our cat, Yeti. We could tell he was so well cared for and had play time when she came to visit each day. The photos with his check-in updates were a wonderful bonus. :) we would absolutely have Stephanie watch Yeti again!”

“Isabella took exceptionally great care of my little kitty! The notes she always left after each check-in were very thorough, and I loved all of the pictures she sent. She was very accommodating and helpful, and really went the extra mile! I would absolutely recommend her as a sitter for anyone who wants complete peace of mind while they are away on a trip 😁”


“Liberty and Caleb are the best pet sitters you could ask for!! This was my first time using Rover, and they were so communicative and assuring that it made my first out of state trip completely stress-free. I cannot thank them enough for the great job they did taking care of my cat, and next time I’m traveling, I would absolutely book them again!!”

“She is very responsible and took care of our cats very well. She informed us immediately to me and tried to solve the issue when she ran into the water problem. We enjoyed the pictures she sent us every day. We would hire her again next time.”

Hongyu is wonderful! I have an older cat who’s not the easiest to look after - we’re always trying different medications and litter boxes etc to keep him healthy and comfortable. She always goes above and beyond to make sure instructions are followed and Hoover is cared for, and sends lots of photos. She event brought in our grocery delivery that we had forgotten to cancel before a trip! Thank you Hongyu 🌟

Have had the absolute pleasure of having Amber as a cat sitter for years now! She is reliable, caring, and the best with our cats. There is literally no better peace of mind when traveling to know that our cats are in excellent hands and to receive photos of them while we are gone!

Tetiana helped with a very last-minute booking and CRUSHED IT. She followed the detailed instructions, was timely in her visits, and super responsive. I felt great knowing my very-shy kitty (who Tetiana never even saw! LOL) was in her care; I will definitely be rebooking with her. Thank you, Tetiana!

Katie was absolutely amazing! Not only did she respond to my anxiety texts (which she really didn't have to do) almost immediately, but she bonded with my cat so well that I actually do believe that he misses her. I loved all the photos that she took during my trip, and she did an incredible job at making sure he was looked after. She also took special care to confirm with me he was comfortable during the heat that we had earlier in the month, and I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking to book with Rover, and will definitely schedule with her again if I need to leave town for an extended period of time.

Sand did a great job taking care of our cat, giving him lots of attention, following all of our instructions, and communicating with lots of detail and photos. Will definitely use her again for future drop in visits and would recommend her to other Rover customers.
