About: I have owned and cared for dogs my whole life. They are a huge part of the family. I also believe dogs need a healthy outlet of stimulation, play and exercise every day! I'm here to help when you aren't able. I am a Mom of 3, all of which are in school during the day. I am looking to stay active, make some extra money and spend time with animals. I walk my dog daily and we both look forward to it so much. P.s. her name is Lulu. She's a chocolate lab. It is such an important part of our day.

About: I have taken care of my neighbors’ animals since I was nine years old. I often take care of their dogs for several days at a time while they’re away. I love taking care of animals and making them feel safe and cared for, despite their parents not being home. I have work 8-5 every weekday, but I can pet-sit afterwards and stop by during my lunch break! My weekends are completely free, so I can spend the whole day with your pet if they have more frequent needs. I have had experience from young puppies and kittens to senior dogs and cats. I understand that every animal has differing needs, so I will do my best to accommodate to everything that will make your pet feel safe.
About: I’ve grown up around dogs and cats since childhood and have been involved in their daily care for many years, including feeding and basic routines. I’ve also helped care for and watch family and family friends’ dogs, giving me experience with different sizes, personalities, and energy levels. I enjoy spending time with dogs, whether that means walks, playtime, or simply keeping them company. I understand the importance of structure, attention, and making sure dogs feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I’m responsible, attentive, and will treat every dog as if they were my own. Pet care fits very flexibly into my weekly routine. I have mostly open availability and can adjust my schedule to prioritize pet care bookings, including house-sitting, drop-ins, and walks. I occasionally pick up shifts at a medical endoscopy center and may take on occasional part-time work, but my schedule is flexible and I am able to plan around pet care commitments in advance. I provide care in clients’ homes by following each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible to help them feel comfortable and secure while their owners are away. This includes feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and any specific care instructions provided. I make sure pets are safe, calm, and well cared for, and I pay close attention to their behaviors and needs. I also respect the client’s home by keeping things clean, organized, and secure, and I will always communicate if anything seems off or requires attention.
About: I have always grown up with cats and dogs, since I was very small. I love taking my dogs for walks and playing with them! My availability is very flexible, I work short hours, early in the morning and I'm home by noon. I am also a student at Oakland University during the fall-spring but can stop by to check in between classes I prefer to stay at the clients home to keep the pets comfortable and used to their schedule. I love to go for walks and spend time playing outside!
About: I want you to know that I have experience with giving animals pills. I have also watched dogs with trauma who have a hard time accepting new people because I have a calming presence. Not officially trained but have taken care of dogs through seizures and I'm always willing to learn more. I currently work full-time during the week between the hours of 3pm-10pm on monday and 1pm-10pm Tuesday through Friday so I am always willing to visit during the midday to check on your furry babies. I can always watch them if you have a weekend where you are away. I will not be able to take care of pets in my home because I am not allowed dogs and currently already have the max number of cats.
About: I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes, breeds, ages and special needs for 10+ years. The largest dog I’ve cared for in their home was a great wolf hound weighing 165 lbs. he was the biggest baby in the world! I have a 3 year old golden retriever who loves everyone and every dog. I watch a golden retriever who is 8 and a golden doodle who is 1 continuously throughout the year. Looking to add more fur baby dates to calendar for my golden who loves new friends! I’m a nanny and my schedule changes daily but im able to leave to come home whenever needed. Letting the dogs out is no concern :) experienced with all breeds and sizes but dog friendly/ people friendly is a must. 1 dog home- an almost 3 year old golden retriever who loves everyone and every dog. When she isn’t at day camp at pets mart she’s playing with the neighbors dogs. Having doggie friends daily is what she would love. Watching dogs while the owners are on trips is what we are used to. 5-10 days at a time.

“This was our first experience using Rover and we couldn’t have picked a better sitter than Marissa! She did a great job keeping us updated on what our cats had been up to throughout the week and you can tell that she enjoys what she does. We will definitely use her services in the future.”


About: Hello! I’m experienced with boarding tasks (feeding, administering medications, etc.), basic training, and in-home pet care. While I can't host pets at my place, I love coming to yours for walks, backyard play sessions, and overnight stays. **Dogs:** Happy to tire them out with walks, play, and potty breaks. **Cats:** Patient and gentle — I'll take the time to earn their trust. Previously worked with a small pet care business visiting clients' homes, so I'm comfortable following your specific instructions and treating your space with respect. Your pet stays happy at home. You stay worry-free. It’s a win-win! I’m currently working part-time at a dog kennel so I’m usually working 2-3, 8 hour or 6 hour shifts a week. If asked about requests in advance, I may be able to request time off to accommodate client needs. I don’t have the room to board dogs or cats in my current situation, however I am very experienced with boarding tasks and basic training. I absolutely love taking walks or just doing some play sessions in the backyard and enjoy getting kitties to warm up to me. I would mainly be looking for walks/play and potty visits, or pet sitting in the owner’s home.
About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and caring for them is something I genuinely enjoy. Right now I have four cats, two dogs, and two rabbits, so I’m used to taking care of multiple pets with different needs and personalities. One of my dogs is very old and has become blind and deaf, which has taught me a lot about patience, paying attention to details, and making sure pets feel safe and comfortable. Caring for him has given me experience working with animals that need a little extra support and attention. I also volunteered at a horse rescue and rehabilitation facility for a year, where I helped with feeding, grooming, cleaning stalls, and caring for horses. Working with horses taught me how to safely handle large animals, stay calm under pressure, and understand animal behavior. It gave me a lot of confidence and responsibility that I still use when caring for pets today. Besides my own animals, I’ve helped care for pets belonging to family, friends, and neighbors over the years. I’m comfortable with feeding schedules, walks, litter box cleaning, basic medications, playtime, and making sure pets get plenty of attention while their owners are away. I’m a 19-year-old college student currently on summer break and working part-time, so I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to pet care. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pets because I feel the same way about my own. My goal is always to make pets feel happy, comfortable, and loved while giving their owners peace of mind. ❤️ As a college student on summer break, I have a flexible schedule and plenty of availability outside of my part-time job. This allows me to dedicate time and attention to each pet’s needs, whether that means drop-in visits, walks, feeding, playtime, or simply providing companionship. I’m reliable, organized, and committed to making sure pets receive consistent, quality care. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their established routines as closely as possible to help their pets feel comfortable and secure. I provide fresh food and water, clean up after pets, ensure they get plenty of exercise, playtime, and attention, and carefully follow any special instructions. I also treat each home with respect and keep pet owners updated so they can have peace of mind while they’re away.
About: Dog-walking and pet-sitting were some of my first jobs when I was a kid. I have 10+ years of experience caring for cats and dogs for friends, family, and neighbors. My family always had pets while I was growing up so caring for animals is something I feel comfortable about and truly enjoy doing! Aside from walking and checking in, I have also stayed and taken care of pets for longer periods of time. I own a 5 year old beagle and 9 year old cat myself! I am a recent college graduate and I currently only work part-time during the week so I have pretty flexible availability for scheduling. I am also available most weekends. I am a pet owner myself and I know that they are like family. I understand it can be hard for both you and your pet while away and I like to provide communication and updates through text and pictures. I have experience caring for sick pets as well as those that require medication/ extra assistance.
About: I grew up around animals my whole life. My friend had a farm growing up, and I loved to help out. I have always lived with dogs, bunnies, geckos, frogs, cats, you name it! I love pets and would treat yours no less then if they were my own:) Pets are family too! I am absolutely an animal lover and would love to take care of yours like they are my own. Since Bailey our dog, the last of our animals passed away two years ago I have been missing a furry friend in my life. At the moment I am training for the police academy and work part time at a gym that is close to my house. With that being said I have lots of free time; My weeks are completely open so I am happy to help anytime of the day or evening. I know animals need lots of love, attention, and exercise. I love to take walks and always enjoy a furry companion. Fresh water is important, enough potty breaks and definitely make sure they have a full belly! I'II make sure your fur baby is having too much fun to notice you're gone :) Also, I apologize if it says I have a low response time! When I first used the app a few years ago I did not click “away” when I stopped using the app, instead I just deleted it. I promise I will answer ASAP! At the moment I am training for the police academy and work part time at a gym that is close to my house. I work at the gym Monday and Tuesday from 5pm until 11pm and have Volleyball on Friday from 6pm until 11pm. With that being said I have lots of free time; My weeks are completely open so I am happy to help anytime of the day or evening. I live in a house that is on a dead end of a neighborhood which is very peaceful. There is a trail that is directly behind my house for easy walk access. My yard is unfenced but I will make sure to leash and supervise your pup if they are staying at my home! If your dog needs to be crated I ask that you please bring one as I do not have a crate of my own. There is no other animals in my home to worry about, I am willing to accommodate to any needs your dog may need.
About: What sets me apart from others is that I have experience in the veterinary field. I have been working at an Animal Clinic for 3.5 years and am an advanced vet assistant. I have a dog of my own I have cared for the past 8 years, and am well versed in knowledge regarding general pet health. I am currently a college student and working part time at my Vet Clinic, so my availability can differ depending on the week. Let me know when works best and we can make it work! I cannot have clients in my own home but am more than willing to care for them in my client’s home. I can bring along leashes, food bowls, and nail trimmers too!
“Gabriela is a great rover! She is always on time and updates her rover card. Bucky seems to love her, and I appreciate her consistency and flexibility with my schedule!”

“Sarah has been dropping in during the work week for our older dog for several months now. Always so great with her, plays outside, and gives her a much needed break to the workday. Would 100% recommend, she's wonderful with our pup!”

About: For the past 4 years, I’ve had the incredible opportunity to dog sit, and I can honestly say it’s brought so much joy into my life. It all began with a lovable Rottweiler from across the street, and that experience ignited my passion for caring for dogs. There's nothing quite like the bond that forms when I spend time with them—playing, cuddling, and just being there for them. Each dog has its own unique personality, and I love nurturing that connection. I’ve had the pleasure of watching pups for friends and folks I’ve met through work, and each one has left a pawprint on my heart. Caring for these furry companions makes me feel so fulfilled and truly happy! I’m currently going to school at GVSU and looking for something extra to do to help pay for tuition while enjoying company of furry friends. My shifts at work typically only last 4 hours. Therefore I have a very flexible schedule! I care for pets by giving them love, and taking care of them as if they were my own while their owners are away. I also enjoy walks :)
“Adina is super kind, dependable and attentive. A perfect match for our cat Lupe! Luckily she was available to book several drop-in visits with him. Thanks to her we were not concerned at all about the well being of Lupe while we were away, because she never left us hanging! We came home to a happy, loving kitty. Adina will definitely be on the top of our list whenever we might need someone to take care of Lupe in the future!”


About: I have been dog sitting and walking for 20 years. I have stayed over nights while families were out of town. I made sure puppies/ dogs were feed upon owners instructions of how many times a day, walking and playing, and if any medication has to be given. I am a dog owner myself so I know how important our furry friends are. I'm flexiable and if you need me to come over and walk your dog while at work maybe give it a little attention or watch your dog while out of town or just to do a check up I am the right person. My love for animals is out of this world. Give me a chance You won't be disappointed! Thank you
“Sarah was exceptional! Her communication from minute one was amazing! She was friendly, professional and went above and beyond expectations! I will definitely be calling her in the future!”

Sarah is new to our dog, Bailey, today. Having only first met Sarah, we are impressed. She asked questions demonstrating experience with caring for animals and particularly job. We are comfortable after meeting with a Drop-In visit, that we can rely on Sarah for her soon visit for the next appointment.

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 Washington 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.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Washington choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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 .

All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Washington with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
